Watering Hogs in Winter.

The hog will drink too little water
in the winter time if some way is moi
devised to coax him to drink copiously.
Warming the water and mixing with q
little mill feed, meat meal, tankage OF
ground corn is an excellent way to get
maximum of water into the pigs
stomach. believe that it is practi-
cally impossible to get a hog to drink
too much water in the winter time.
Do not spare the bedding. l have
observed in countless instances that
cold, poorly bedded houses were large
y responsible for improbable gains.
The hog suffers as much from the cold
of winter as he does from the heat of
summer. Being thin coated, he is not
able to stand much cold weather unless
very fat. 1t takes feed to supply this
extra energy to warm the hog kept in
cold house. Shelter is cheaper than
feed.-John M. Ervard, in Farm and
Home.

Great Possibilities of Truck Farm
ing in Frames.

Intensive truck farming under sash
or cloth covers is becoming one of the
most popular and profitable lines of
outdoor work, three acres being all the
ground required to produce very
comfortable living. 1t is, of course,
necessary that good market for the
produce be within easy reach, a mar
ket that is willing to pay top prices
for extra fancy and early vegetables,
for the sash farmers cucumbers, snap
beans, etc., rank in the vegetable
market about the same as hot house
grapes in the fruit stores.
Naturally, considerably larger
capital is required than in ordinary
truck farming, but the original outlay
for frames and sash is an interest-pay-
ing investment. Roughly, it will cost
10 cents per square foot to equip a
garden with sash protection, and, with
reasonable care, these sash should
give 10 to IL years service, says a
Farm and Home expert.
In many localities there is an abun-
dance of sunshine at all seasons of the
year and an absence of extremes of
temperature. In these regions very
slight covering or the application of a
small amount of heat will carry plants
through the winter in good condition.
These conditions prevail in North Car
olina and tide-water Virginia, and
large areas are devoted to frame
trucking, using, not glass, but cloth
coverings. Vegetables grown in
frame are shipped in carload lots from
these sections. Naturally, the cloth
covered frames are less expensive
than sash, the cost being from 35 to
80 cents running foot for bed IA
feet wide. In most sections the glass
covering is necessary.
While three acres is good sized
sash farm, somewhat larger area
should be available in order that the
frames may be moved once in three
years to guard against disease. The
type of frames varies in different To-
calities. but generally they are nc
more elaborate or expensive than is
absolutely necessary. The usual type
has for its sides two lines of IL inch
boards set on edge and held in place
by stakes driven into the ground, the
bed being feet wide, and as long as
may be desired. Farm and Home.

MECHANISM OF HUMAN HEART

In the human subject the average

minute. These beats are more fire.

be an abnormal sign to find in some
particular individuals the habitual fire.
quency of the hearts action from 6U
to 65 or from 70 individuals the
habitual frequency of the hearts

IN animals the range is from 25 to

In the warm blooded, except in the
case OF horse,' which has very
slow heart beat, only 40 strokes a
minute. The pulsations of men and
all animals differ with the sea level
also. The work of healthy human
heart has been shown to be equal to
the feat of raising five tons four hun
dredweight one foot per hour, or LIS
tons in "a hours.
A curious calculation has been made
Dy Dr. Richardson, giving the work OF
the heart In mileage Presuming that
the blood was thrown out of the heart
at each pulsation in the proportion OF
6s strokes per minute and at the as.
sumed force of nine feet. the mileage
OF the blood through the body might
be taken as 207 yards per minute,

total of 1889, 9,776.OOO.

Borrowing Money on Land.

Swiss farmers find it comparatively
easy to borrow money of the mortgage
banks which exist in many of the can
tons. The chief advantage secured by
the farmer in placing mortgage with
the cantonal or state mortgage banks
is that he escapes the necessity of re-
paying the principal sof his mortgage
in single payment, and he is prac-
tically relieved from the danger of
foreclosure according to Farm and
Home.
The interest rate charged by the
cantonal mortgage banks is about the
same as that collected by other banks.
For instance, farmer wishes to raise
loan of $1,000 on his property. He
secures the money from the cantonal
bank at Al per cent. He could prob
ably do as we'll for himself if he went
to private sources, but here is where
the cantonal banks help him out. If
he went to a private bank to borrow
money at Al per cent for stated num-
Der of years, he would be required to
pay that bank his interest each year.
and the full amount at the end of the
term.
Now, with the cantonal bank he is
required to pay each year, in addition
to his Al per cent, per cent as amor
tization. After the first payment he
owes the bank $40, 900 less l per cent.
Naturally, the second year he must
pay interest, not on the $40, 900, but
on 80, 900. However, his actual pay
ment is still 81 per cent of the $40, 900.
Each year, however, larger proper
tion of this 81 per cent goes to liqui-
date the loan. In this way the farmer
ultimately pays back the entire loan
without having been burdened with
one big payment in any year, as he
ordinarily would have been. Only in
very rare cases are the loans made by
these mortgage banks on farm proper
ties foreclosed.

The Best Rabbit DOG.

Most lads think they must have a
hound to hunt rabbits, but as one of
the "old boys. prefer sharp-scented
cur dogs Of medium size. They are
better than any hound ever tried.
A hound depends altogether on scent
and makes too much noise, which
frightens rabbits and they soon hole.
Hounds are always in the way around
the house and of very little worth ex-
cept for tracking. A cur dog will
look under brush, etc., and start game
much quicker than hound. They are
not SO apt to hole game and are of
much more worth on the farm than
hounds.-J. H. Andre, in Farm and
Home.

RACEISON

The Maui Baseball League opened
its playing season yesterday, and. from
now until late in the fall the Valley
Isle will have regular diamond con-
tests.
The Maui News of last Saturday, an
nouncing the opening of the season,
says:
1t seems as If there will only be
three teams in the baseball league this
season. The Stars, Kahuluis and La
hainas may battle it out for the cham
pionship. 1t is to be regretted that the
Paia team seems unable to get into the
game. However, there may be a
change at the last moment and Me-
deiros' Pets may come and join the
band.
The Lahaina boys are showing good
spirit by deciding to play. They will
have to journey long distance each
Sunday, and the expense money that
can be allowed them is but small
amount
The first game of the season will be
played tomorrow on the Wailuku dia-
mond. The Stars will go up against
the Kahului bunch and Play Bali will
be called at half-past O'Clock. From
that moment on, there will be one con-
tinuous joy-burst, and the fans will be
kept at their top for an hour and
twenty minutes, or So
To mark the importance of the day
the chairman of the board of supervi-
sors, S. E. Kalama, will grasp the bat
and try to hit ball pitched by Treas
urer Baldwin ont of the lot. Sheriff
Crowell will be behind the bat and
will don the catching mask. 49,.

the custom every year when the
hockey season first opened for the
girls to play the faculty for the first
game. Every year the faculty has
come out on top and usually with two
or three times as many goals as the
girls make Therefore, it was great
surprise and moment for much cele-
tration when, just minute or two
before the whistle blew, the girls shot
The ball between the posts for the de-
Gliding point. 49,. IL ..>~. IN
The second big surprise of the af-
ended in a way that was entirely eX-
pected. The Observation-Disclosures
beat the seniors with a score of seven
runs against the seniors six. The
lower classmen went wild with en-
thusiasm when, in the ninth inning the
freshmen-sophoTore pitcher, John
Kaheakua. caught an easy grounder
from Aleck Desha, putting that run
ner out on first when there were al
ready two outs and three men on
bases. One nan in would have tied
the score with the freshmen-sopho-
mores bat by some splendid playing
that one man oil not get in. ...
