ALCOHOL BRINGS ONLY HARM
German Ministry Of Education Die

Brandy by Children.

The German ministry OF education
recently approved the following notice

health:
Give your children not drop Of
wine! Not a drop Of beer! Not a
drop Of brandy!
Why Because alcohol Of any kind,

g. Alcohol causes disobedIence to
parents

and early nervousness.
8. Alcohol endangers the mortality
Of children.
6. Alcohol weakens the resisting
power OF the body and thereby leads

Z. Alcohol prolongs the duration OF
every Illness.

Portable for the hogs
There are three great breeds OF
hogs. and in the order Of their numbers
they are Poland-Chinas, Duroc-Jerseys
and Berkshlres. The Duroc-Jersey hog
is rapidly becoming more popular,
and deservedly SO. They have all the
good points OF the PolandChinas, but
the sows have larger filters Of pigs
and the ability to save them. while the
fat hogs when ready for market out
weigh Poland.China hogs of the same
age aud finish. The Duroc-Jersey and
the PolandChina breeds originated in
Ohio. and constitute the corn belt
type of hog. Long grown by breeders
who selected for neatness Of frame, a
result favored by a ration, principally
corn, which consisted largely Of fat
and carbohydrates, and low in content
Of protein and calcium salts, hogs Of
these two breeds are chunky, early mo-
turing and producers Of the best lard
in the world. Hogs Of these breeds
are fine Of bone and fatten easily at
early ages, making possible the large
run Of rs and 2O0-pound hogs that
were so much in demand during the
present year and always find a ready
market
Though Of the flneboned meat-built
chunky type of hog the Duroc-Jersey
is not so extreme as the Poland.
China, being somewhat larger and
possessing more scale. Their color is
rich red or mahogany, and Is very
pleasing. The faults Of the breed are
a tendency towards too large filters OF
understood pigs, faulty backs and a
! tendency to sandy colors.

Sydney. n. S. W.-One OF the most
remarkable features Of Australian ge-
ography IL the presence OF vast I'm.
derground seas which cover enor.
nous areas In Queensland and New
South Wales. the smaller ones IN Vic
toria, and along the extreme western
coast The problems connected with
their origin. constitution and distribu-
ton are among the most interesting
known to science, while there seems
some ground for the claim that our
great arteslan system, with all It's
mineral contents. promises to be Of
more value to Australia than all her
other mineral resources combined.
II, Symmonds, a chemist attached to
tho public works department Of New
South Wales, who has made this sub
ject his own, has just had a book pub
ished by the department which is
full Of original research and startling
conclusions and In which he deals ex-
haussiyely with the whole question
from every point Of view He diff
fers entirely from the recent inter.
state conference on artesian waters,
which unhesitatingly pronounced In
favor OF the meteoric origin Of the
water /. G., that is, that the rainfall
has percolated the porous beds under
the influence OF hydraulic conditions
The diminished flow in many Of the
wells, which has been 80 frequently
noted OF late. was attributed by the
conference to the continual draining
OF the supply by the wells, which have
been put down in much greater num-
Der Of late years, and, therefore, they
recommended that some OF them
should be closed down.
On the other hand, Mr.. Symmonds
holds that the supply is plutonic, or,
In other words, that 1t comes from
the molten lavas In the interior of the
earth. It appears that when a crys-
talline rock like granite is heated to
redness in vacuo enormous volumes
OF gas and vapor are given off, which
accounts for a great deal OF volcanic
| action, for the presence OF the large
amount Of gas found in artesian wa
ter, and apparently for much of the
water itself. The fact that there is
very little common salt and other
chlorine compounds in the artesian
waters at the lower levels, the amount
diminishing with the depth, is regard
ed as strongly supporting the plutonic
origin, as, if it were meteoric, the wa
ter would absorb mere instead of
less salt in its passage through
/ the soil
Several other facts are adduced In
support Of the conclusion that the ar.
tesian waters have been expelled in
a state Of vapor from molten masses
Of rock in the interior of the earth,
such as the high temperatures of
much Of the deeper water the large
| quantities Of gas imprisoned therein,

noticeable a feature in connection
with the bores, being attributed by
Mr.. Symmonds to the presence of the
gas and its expansive force.

INJURY WROUGHT BY ALCOHOL

Many Of you have been in a close

Most good hog raisers who have
warm buildings try to have their sows

but without good houses this is i'm
practicable. without a good house
two filters a year cannot be raised to
advantage, because the spring pigs
must be put of until so late that the
fall filters do not get well started be-
fore cold weather, but with a good
house two filters can we'll be raised.
What is the necessary cost OF hous-
ing a litter? Where lumber is $25 to
s35 a thousand, good single walled
houses need not cost over $40 to $40
a pen. and double-walled $50 to $50 a
pen. 1t Is doubtful economy, under
most conditions, to make them cost
over $50 a pen, and very good sheds
are sometimes made for less than $40
pen. It is easy to get too much eX-
pense into any building, and the hog
house is no exception. No one can
afford for any purpose a building so
expensive that interest and deprecia-
ton will eat up its usefulness.
Possibly the cheapest house possible
is a low building with a single row Of
pens and no alley, but such a house
is very inconvenient especially in
stormy weather. A hog house should
always stand east and west, facing
the south, so that the maximum
amount Of sunshine may be had in
each pen

To Be and to Do.

There are no times in life when
opportunity, the chance to be and to
do, gathers so richly about the soul
as when it has to suffer. Then every
thing depends on whether the man
turns to the lower or the higher helps
II he resorts to mere experience and
tricks, the opportunity Is lost; he
comes out no richer or greater; nay,
he comes out harder, poorer, smaller,
for his pain But If he turns to God
the hour of suffering is the turning
,oint of his life.--Phillips Brooks
