The House District Committee yester-

The committee refused to permit
Henry L. White. former assistant cor
poration counsel: Daniel Donovan,

that OF the lowest bidder. James w.

A New Society Fad.

Smart women in Paris are said to be

is reverting to a London craze of over
a century ago. On May 4. 1908, Mrs.
Charles Calvert notes in her diary: Il

1t is all the fashion. 1 had a master
with me for about two hours, and !
think 1 shall be able to make very nice
shoes" In the same month Lady Sarah
Spencer writes to her brother: II am
today in state OF great vanity. have,
to my eternal glory be it spoken, made
a pair OF shoes. There is for you!
So, If all other trades fail, 1 shall GER

Reechnut Season,

This is the beechnut season. and
when beechnuts are ripe no city man
bred in the country knows perfect rest
Of mind. He wants to go back home.
The beechnut is diminutiye, but it is
full of meat and flavor. Some folks
say that the jay bird and the red
headed woodpecker haven't any sense.
They have sense enough to prefer the
beechnut to any other edible which
grows. The jay is more than human,
anyway, and he has lot more sense
than a good many humans, and so the
wonder constantly grows why it is
that the man who is not up to snuff IS
called a jay. The beech tree does
more for man than to give him its
nut-brown October offering. It's gray
bole shines warmly when the sun
strikes it. It's sight suggests warmth
in winter and GOODNESS in summer.
The shade of the beech's dropping
boughs is one of the grateful bounties
of August.-Chicago Post.

DECIDEDLY POOR
FARM COMBINATION
Dogs Have More DemoraIizing
Effect on Sheep Industry
Than Cholera on Swine.

Sheep and dogs make decidedly
poor combination on farm: The
farmer is inclined to be friendly to-
ward the farm dog, for there is a big
place for him to fill, but, after all; a
dog is dog, and the whole family
must be held responsible for the mis-
chief done by few. From one town
ship the report comes that the dogs
there killed $11S worth of sheep dur
ing the past year, says a writer in an
exchange. We doubt If all the dogs
in that county are worth that much,
but there seems to be little that can
be done to relieve the situation.
Yet one thing is certain: So long
as the dogs are allowed to roam over
the country in their murderous quest
there will be small chance for sheep
industry to grow. This seems to have
an even more demoralizing effect on
sheep industry than hog cholera does
on the swine industry.

to brag of in the way Of hogs. To
win, we must do some thinking, some
planning and some putting into effect.
There will be better hogs a few
years hence than there are now. Be-
fore that day comes, there will have
to be better men.
Breed to the best male you can
find. 1t may cost a little more. You
will get it all back in the better pigs
you get.
Keep your hogs cool, but don't cool
them in a mudhole.
Turn off some of the shoats while
the price is booming, which is most
likely just now. Stop the cost or
production as soon as you can. That's
the way to make money.
Better than a ring in the nose for
the hog that loves to root is a good
chance to root and have a good time.
Hogs are making money for you when
they are roofing good and lively.
Wheat feed, that is not too coarse,
is a fine feed for hogs this time Of
the year.
Hog cholera rarely strikes the pen
of the man who keeps his hogs clean.
The disease is a filth trouble.
If your hogs are shut up so they
have no chance to root, dig load OF
sods for them now and then and
throw them over into the yard. 1t
helps to keep the porkers busy, and
when they are busy they are looking
out for your interests all right.
A poor fence is an invitation to get
out. You haven't time to look after
that sort of thing. Make the fences
good on the start.

PAYS TO MASTER
THE YOUNG COLTS
Easier to Keep Youngsters From
Learning Bad Tricks Than to
Break Them of Them.

The earlier a colt is accustomed to
harness the better broken the animal
will be after it comes time for him to
do some light work. 1t is easier to
keep colts from learning bad tricks
than to break them of them. For this
reason have every strap and rope
used by the colt SO strong that there
is no danger of a break. Once colt
finds out that he can get away from
the halter or other part of the har-
ness, there will be trouble, perhaps
for all time.
1t is not necessary to make idle
pets of young foals, but they should
be taught to lead at the halter, stand
tied in their stalls, as we'll as display
manners in the stable, wisely sug-
gests horse trainer, and he adds:
"a wild, tricky foal, unbroken when
young, makes a double task when
subjected to the break harness as a
three-year-old. Their first lessons are
never forgotten, and it pays to master
them when young.

The hog lot has much to do about
determining the lot Of hogs.
Long legs in hog ought to bar him
as breeder. Porkers, not racers, are
what most of us are after.
Meat, and lots of it, in now and then
a mess of boiled and mashed pota-
toes.
Little soft new corn at first. It's
hot stuff. May give the porkers the
stomach ache.
doubt if any man ever had to fight
hog cholera who kept his premises
clean and fed right up to the mark.
Work off some of the shoats and
stop the cost of feeding.
Get just as near to the man who
eats your meat as you can when 1t
comes to selling time.
A few sweet apples now and then
are fine for an appetizer. Not much
meat in them, but they help to keep
the system in good order, and so are
of value as an article of diet.
Hogs do not need much salt. A lit
tie goes a good ways. But be sure
they have that little.
Throw now and then a charred stick
Of wood over in the yard for the hogs
to work at. A gooA tonic. Keeps the
stomach in good Order.
If you feed sour milk, stick to sour
milk, not change back and forth from
sweet to sour.
Somehow it seems to most Of us
that it is a big waste of time to do
much thinking about the food we give
a hog. Anything will go. That is one
reason why we never have anything
