CHARCOAL FOR SWINE
One of Cheapest and Fest Pre-
ventive of Diseases.
Missouri Writer Gives in Detail He
Method of Using Timber Covered
With Iron Covers to Secure
Slow Burning Of Heap.

Charcoal is one OF the cheapest OF
hogs. 1t is especially valuable in win
ter, whether the animals are in the
fattening pens or In the woods lot.
Charcoal can be bought, but this
takes away it's cheapness. 1t can be
burned on the farm, and the burning
Green or dry timber, corn cobs or
heavy brush can be turned into char
coal.
The method I have used for a good
many years is very simple. Along in
the fall and winter, when I need more
charcoal for the hogs, I dig a trench
somewhere between s and 10 feet in
length. I make it about three feet
wide and about as deep as it is wide,
says a Missouri writer in the Farm
Progress. If possible, burn the
charcoal in the woods lot near the
the time and trouble of hauling the
wood.
Pile the trench full Of wood, putting
in enough dry timber to start it
blazing we'll. Arrange the timber so
you can start the fire near the center
of the trench and at the bottom of the
heap, so the fire will spread upwards
and to either side through the logs.
Let it blaze pretty strongly, and al
low enough Roadway to reach all
parts of the heap. I want every stick
in the pile to be ablaze before I pro
coed with the next step.
use big sheets of iron to cover over
the trench after it Is thoroughly
ablaze Several years ago I picked
up three or four old scraper bot
toms, thick, heavy iron plates about
forty-eight inches in width. I use
these to cover the trench, laying
them edge to edge, and stopping the
places where they overlap, with wet
clay. This keeps all the heat in, and
the process of slow burning can go
on underneath them. A little gaseous
smoke and some of the heat escapes,
but most of it remains under the
plates.
let CulS lTOu-Iluu6u PIT StdIlu lOI d
day or two before removing the
plates. I hardly ever fail to find about
a wagon-bed full Of fine charcoal
when | open it.
The use of the sheet iron plates
seems to smother the fire just enough
to keep it from burning so freely as
to destroy all the wood fiber, and yet
gives it enough leeway to permit a.
slow combustion. Of course, if the
pit is opened too soon the blaze will
leap up again, and all the work will
be for nothing.
In turning corn cobs into charcoal
follow about the same method as
when turning timber into Goals. They
are placed in the pit, started to blaz-
ing, and then checked by being sealed
up under the sheet iron. They char
In about the same thine as timber.
AS a mineral element in hog rations
charcoal is hard to beat. 1t is espe-
cially valuable in stimulating the ap-
petite, and in freeing the intestinal
tracts of the animals from various
disturbances.

HOW A GARDEN MOLE LIVES
little Creatures Have Remarkable
Appetite, Feeding Entirely on
Earthworms, Grubs and Insects.

Moles feed entirely on earth worms,
burrowing grubs, and on insects, and
have a remarkable appetite, together
with love, passion and hatred in en-
ergy and voracity.
They are built particularly strong,
full of muscle, and have a hand, spade
like, supplied with claws, making
capital digging machine.
In observing a mole when put on
the ground after being caught, it will
Immediately plunge it's sharp snout in
the earth and give two or three fear
full strikes of fore-paws enough to bury
most of his body-the hind feet give
a comica1 kick in the air and the mole
gets out Of sight with startling
quickness and find him if you can.
The mole hills which we see are not
homes but composed of material which
is worked over in forming temporary
passages looking after prey.
A mole's only true home, fortress or
kingdom, is located at a distance from
the hunting grounds with which COM
munication is kept up.
A mole will consume the weight OF
it's body in remarkably short time.
Snails and slugs it seizes from behind
before they know mole is after them.
Another wonderful thing is how soon
a mole will succumb without food, as
a IL hours fast will result in death
for the little animal and all of its
family.
Therefore, the poor mole has to
work hard most of it's life for living,
and especially is this true in the win
ter.

FEW PRACTICAL FARM HINTS
Field That viii Grow Crop Of Strong
Weeds Will Likewise Produce
Crops ThCt Are Profitable.

Did you ever realize that the field
that will grow an immense crop of
big strong weeds will likewise grow a
good crop of farm produce if the soil
is rightly taken care Of? Weeds use
plant food just as much as corn or
small grain.
The weed is the one crop that
never stops growing. It is right on
the job from spring until fall and it
doesn't need much cultivation either.
Potatoes should never be handled
with iron forks or shovels. If any
tools are used they should be made of
wood, because the least abrasion of
the skin Will often start decay.
The home water system is no longer
an impossibility. 1t can be installed
in practically any farm home and it
does not represent prohibitive cost.
Farm management is the thing that

known throughout the f1otilla as Bob
by Frost
You will leave Newport News at
cen o'clock tonight with the destroyer

ent ship of the First Torpedo Boat Flo
tilla Off Key West, prepared for &C
tion :"
This order was warmly welcomed by
Holton and by his second in command
Of the grim, lead-colored Scorpion.
1T looks like business, doesn't it?'
observed Frost, with tentative infiec-
ton in his voice.
I'm glad we had those Earthquakes
fixed in the boiler. | suppose we
might as we'll have the war-heads fixed
On the torpedoes, too. The orders say
prepare for action Attend to it,
will you, Frost?"
Aye. aye, sir" and Frost hurried
along the grimy oily deck to the after
companiOnWay.
The somewhat informal nature Of
the dialogue between the two will be
forgiven by the fastidious when it is
pointed out that for month the Scor-
piOn had been laying at Newport News
on detached duty of confidential ma
ture under direct orders from Wash
ington, and that Holton's sole com
pani0n aboard ship in that time had
been his young second. But the period
of loneliness was evidently to end in
burst of glory and Lieutenant Holton
was truly thankful
In the preceding month the mighty
battle-ship Maine had walloWed down
into the Shiny oOZe of Havana Harbor,
a great hole torn in her forward com
partments. In her lay one of Holton 8
best friends shipmate of pleasant
days following graduation at the Naval
Academy. The cry, Remember the
Maine" was sounding from Maine
itself to California. The entire coun.
try was on the qui vive. Osgood, the
hero of many an American football
gridiron, had, as a Cuban volunteer
given up his life at the side of ma
chine gun; Frederick Funston had
served valiantly against the tyrants oil
CASTLE and Aragon, and other Ameri
cans had given evidence that the fight
ing spirit was by no means dormant ir
the heart of a nation of pigs anC
tradesmen."
With the situation thus there was
little cause for wonder at Lieutenan
Holton's emotions of mental exalta
ton. Whatever the future might hole
for him, at least this seemed certain
there would be action, and that i:
