Some one who has noticed the tend
ency of hogs to scratch when they get
an itchy spell has hit upon the plan
of driving a hardwood stake four or
Eve inches In diameter into the ground
and deep enough so that 1t will stand
solid This is wound closely with
coils of a good sized rope and the rope
saturated with crude petroleum. The
pigs make use of these stakes often,
and the oil is automatically distributed
on these itchy spots. The plan Is
simple one and ought to be worth try

Reports from Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and some other New England
states are to the effect that the maple
sugar and strip output Of the present
season is poor. there being but small
flow of sap, and that containing very
little sugar. This is bad news for low
ers of fapjacks, for maple sugar and
strip will be scarce this year and the
price will consequently be high.
