This incident was related by Mark
Twain with great glee about certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day she handed her
devoted sympathizer the sheets Of a
story which read thus
"A man was seated in a chair by
the Preside brooding over his trou-
bles. He was sad because his wife
was dead. Suddenly a specter ap-
peared before him, and 1t was his
wife. She said Dear, l could not
bear to see you so sad and dlscon-
tented, so l have come to comfort
you. You must not be sad. You
must be bright and happy. 1t was
best that / should leave you when
did, because l was going to get di.
vorce."

now we are shoveling the crest away
from the canal in order to relieve the
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
i'm the cut at that point had been
carried to within Is feet of the canal
bottom. Digging out that Is feet of
material removed the support of tbs
Cucaracha, and down it came. If we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the Is feet with dredges, |
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide. "
What Of the future?" l asked rs
there any danger of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
Absolutely none, l believe" he an
swered. When the excavating and
dynamiting have ceased and the wa

have the slides and breaks mapped
out as far back as there is any indi
cation of their extending, and are
working back to those lines 1t Is
merely a matter of persistency and pa

when will the water be let into
the cut?"
In October" replied Colonel Goe
thals. but there will be no celebra
ton over the event. That one in Jan
uary, 1915, is giving us enough worry
and we don't forget the premature and
ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand dc
Lesseps many years ago. We will just
turn the water in-thats all. Then We
can complete the excavation there
with suction dredges, which will dc
the work cheaply and rapidly"
And when will boats be passing
through the canal?"
THAT cannot say, but the sooner
the better, for the operating crews
must be properly trained before thai

Where can the genteel poor girl
who finds herself in New York with
out friends get room for a few days
while she is seeking a permanent To-
cation?" This question was asked by
Miss Kathleen Clayburn Comegys,
daughter of a former district attorney
Of New Orleans, and who has made
a study Of social conditions in New
Orleans In answering her question
she said: There is not real place for
such young girl in this entire city,
which practically has every other
modern convenience and improvement
one could wish for There are places
for servant girls and girls who have
gone wrong, but there is no place for
the girl Of extremely meager circum-
stances who belongs to neither class"

Colon, c. Eff you wish to hear
language" Just say "Cucaracha" to
one OF the engineers engaged In build.
Ing the central division OF the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha in Spanish means q
cockroach. In the Canal Zone 1t
means the greatest Of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
OF the Culebra cut 30 different and so
expensive. Why tkat slide was named
the cockroach could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not so large. and he moves
much more swiftly.
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and It first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year Of their work on the canal Be
tween then and July 1. 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards Of material was
removed from the canal because of
1T. The slide had broken nearly 1909
feet from the axis Of the canal, and
covered an area of AZ acres. Last fall
the engineers we're congratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom Of the cut
What is going to be the cost of
that slide to the United States?" l
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge Of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass of earth and rock.
well" the chief engineer replied, our
estimate is that by the time It is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure Of about $5,0O0,00O more
than the cut would have cost II the

Should one OF the pigs or larger
hogs become sick. separate them at
once from the herd. Give very little
but laxatlyes, as sulphate OF magnesla

a rule they will be well in few
days. Should cholera appear In the
community you may have your hogs
inoculated with serum, which will pre-
vent or you may after inoculatlng
with the serum, place cholera hog
with them and make your herd i'm.

once infected they do not contract
the disease again. We also have the

excellent results and you make immune

Another treatment which has given
me excellent results, also a number
OF my neighbors. is the Snoddy cholera
remedy This is a black dark powder
prepared by veterinarian, ingredients
not mentioned. This, when properly
used, Is said to prevent or cure and
has proven very satisfactory to me.
These remedies properly applied, with
enforcement OF the laws In reference
to burning or burying all dead poul-
try and animals, and determination OF
the buzzard the greatest source OF
carrying the germs we have. will Grad
late the disease.
Now for pork production you may
use the pure breeds or crosses. Many
OF the crosses are good, but experience
has convinced me that the pure breeds
iudiciously handled will be more prof
table. In making pork we should
fatten our hogs in the fields at eight
mouths to twelve months old. The old
plan OF penning them is costly and
troublesome. After running hogs on
thu patches described above you may
turn them on a piece Of corn and
allow them to hog It down, that is,
gather the corn for themselves. They
fatterf rapidly and there is little or
no waste, besides enconomy in gather
ing the corn.
To sum up:
l. Secure good stock with easy feed
ing qualities.
2. Feed them well and keep them
growing.
3. Have something growing for
! them all the year and not depend en-.
tirely on the corn crib.
4. Remember hogs will not pay on
pine straw aud oak roots.
5. Keep hogs free OF lice and give
comfortable sleeping quarters.
6. Shade In summer and sunshine
in winter.
Z. Keep salt, ashes and charcoal SO
that they may have free access to
them.
8. Treat them kindly and keep them
/ gentle,
9. Do not keep vicious hogs unless
you are the cause Of their vicious
ness.
TO- Give fresh water and 30 not re-
quire the hig to drink from a mud
hole.
II. Feed variety, the hog likes a
variety as well as the human.
H. For profitable pork kill hogs at
8 to IL months old.
10. Remember, the hog, like all
other animals, must be fed regularly
and treated kindly.
