CAUTION AT NARROWING TIME
Animal Should Be Carefully Watched
and Fed on SIop Ration-Supply
Fresh, Dry, Clean Bedding.

A few days before narrowing the
SOW should be placed in clean, roomy
pen in the central hog house or in
special portable house.
When the udder of the SOW becomes
distended and milk can be drawn from
the teats she may be expected to far
row in "a hours. She should then be
closely watched and fed slop ra-
ton rather than a dry feed, to keep
her bowels open. She should have a
medium supply of fresh, dry, Clean
dustless bedding. Barley straw or
wood shavings should be avoided.
Little pigs are very sensitive to cold
and if they arrive during cold weather
they must be given special attention.
If litter is narrowed in small port
able house the air may be consider
ably warmed by hanging a lantern
from the ceiling, and doors will add
greatly to the comfort Of the animals.
In large hog house 1T Is best prac-
tice to put the little pigs as soon as
narrowed into tight wooden box with
clean straw and cover the box with
blanket. The pigs will nestle together
and keep themselves warm. Should
the weather be extremely cold hot
bricks may be put in the bottom OF
the box and covered with an old blan-
ket with dry straw On top for the pigs
to rest in. Little pigs should be kept
in the box for "a hours longer, taking
them out for a short time every two
hours to nurse.
A SOW should be kept quiet and fed
little, if at all, during the first "a hours
after narrowing. She may be given a
drink of water, followed by a light
bran mash. The feed is then gradu-
ally Increased up to the tenth day.
when full ration may be fed. By
thus being careful milk fever in the
SOW and scours in the pigs are pre-
vented.

will murder a hundred babies to get
80 cents. It's all a question of ex-
pediency.
Now, in the taking of the native boat
Kun Shan, which happened about a
year after l left the country, there
was considerable bloodshed. That
was because the officers and passen-
gers showed fight, when they ought
to have had sense enough to see that
they had no chance.
About fifty pirates got themselves
up as harmless coolies and paid their
passage to Hongkong. They dis
persed themselves among the other
deck passengers and conversed affably
about the weather and the state of the
crops.
Forty miles down the river, just
where the stream begins to widen, a
junk lying close in shore fired a gun.
This was the signal for each peaceful
looking coolie to produce short
sword from under his blouse. One
party dived into the engine room. An
other lot rushed up to the upper deck.
Those in the engine room made quick
work Of the first and second engineers.
They then shut off steam, bringing
the boat to a standstill.
Those on the upper deck didn't
have an easy job. The passengers
saw them coming and bolted to the
captains cabin where the arms were
kept. There appears to have been
considerable of a fight, for there was
a good deal Of firing but six or seven
white men had no chance against for
ty or fifty pirates. Anyhow, all of the
defenders except one young man were
killed.
when the fighting was over three
large junks came alongside and the
cargo was transferred. The boat was
emptied. Not a thing of any value
was left on board.
Did the Chinese passengers make
any resistance? Not such fools They
were not armed, and If they had been
there was no one to lead them.
80 you see, piracy isn't quite
dead trade yet. If you doubt my word,
just go over to China and take trip
I'D the river in company with a bag Of
dollars. Give out that you have money
on board, and anchor at night in un-
frequented spots. 1t won't be long be-
fore you get chance of proving that
I am telling the truth"

MADE RAIN BRING BUSINESS
Druggist Discovered Way to Make
Capital Out of Weather Which
Hurts Trade.

Eyes, weather does make a con;
siderable difference" said a druggist
whose store is at one of the transfer
functions in a city. People do good
deal more shopping on bright days
than they do on gray ones. l have
beaten the weather twice, though.
THE first time was when l was
walking downtown on rainy day and
passed the windows of an electric
lighting concern. Everything was lii
up in there, and the whole place
seemed bright and CHEEKY. Now, when
ever the sky grows the least bit dark.
and peoples spirits get darker at the
same time, light up my entire store
The result is that it seems the one
sunny, CHEEKY spot in the street, and
people just naturally gravitate there.
1.-THE second time came about In
this fashion. One day as l got off the
car near my shop I noticed quite
crowd gathered in front of store a
few doors away from mine. At first l
thought it was an accident or some
particularly good window display, but
when l investigated I found that 1t
was just a crowd of people taking ad-
vantage Of the small awning at that
store in order to keep out of the rain.
so said to myself, there is no rea-
son why | shouldn't be able to snare
the great travelling public that Is held
Up at my corner waiting for the next
car to come along. So a. quite an ex-
pense | erected a very l"rge and ca
pacious canopy In from; Of my store.
and every time it rains Won will see
many persons hop off the GERS with
transfers in their hands and NIKE for
nv awning.
While they are waiting they look
into my windows, and five times out
Of ten they see something they want,
or something they think they do. Not
only have I gained many permanent
customers in that way, but I get a
really remarkable patronage from
trqneients who take Just that minute
while thew are waiting for car to
buy something thew could Just as well
obtain from the druggist in their own
neirhborhccd I give them protection,
and I save them time"

TREATMENT FOR LUMPY JAW
Removal of Growth While in Tissues
by Use of Knife Is Considered
Satisfactory Method.

The most satisfactory way of treat
ing lumpy jaw is to remove the
growth with a knife when in the
tissues only. The animal is thrown;
the skin is cut over the tumor, and
the swelling removed by cutting
around it in the healthy tissues. II
hemorrhage is large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps;
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red-hot iron.
The wound should be washed with
an antiseptic in one per cent. solu
ton after the tumor is removed, and
then packed with antiseptic gauze or
cotton, and the wound stitched up
The next day remove the stitches
and treat as an open wound.

thought, would like to see what the
back parts of the country were IKE.
I'VE started one morning early, my
friend young Englishman and my
self We had with US as COOK ana
general help a crosseyed son of a
washerman named All Kun. He had
rascal written all over his face; but
they told me he was the best hand at
chicken curry in the country. l de-
termined to keep my eye on him, but
as matters turned out he kept his on
me and raised me one better.
Captain Was Excited.
I'VE sailed up the river for three
days without getting very far away
from where we started, for the cur
rent runs six knots an hour. We went
on shore the fourth morning and shot
snipe in the rice fields, at least the
other two men did. At night we tied
the boat to a tree. It's pleasant
way of travelling If ones not In a
hurry.
About five o'clock the next day we
passed a guard boat, the captain OF
which hailed US. We drew up along
side and he made speech. He
seemed to be exciting himself about
something, but as he spoke Chinese
we were none the wiser. We asked
All Kun what the man was driving at
He smiled and said the captain want
ed present. So we took no further
notice of him and sailed on until we
came to a creek, in which we tied
up for the night
"It might have been about IL
o'clock when was reused by hearing
a splash Of oars alongside, and short
ly after that number of men jumped
on board. I shook my friend and he
leaped up and yelled for All Kun. No
one answered. l grabbed for my gun,
but it was gone So I pulled out the
derringer I always sleep with under
nv pillow and fired into the dark
ness. There was yell as If some
body had stopped the bullet and a
stfnkpot was hurled through the win
dow right into the middle Of US.
Don't know what stinkpot is,
Ell? It's an earthenware shell filled
with some kind Of abomination or 9TH
er, and when it is lighted and thrown
into a room every one in that apart
ment has to quit or be suffocated.
Clear out Of this, boys!" shouted
my friend.
Bursting open the door he rushed
out and plunged into the river We
were not long in following suit. One
of our visitors made slash at me
with a sword as I passed him, but
lodged. We scrambled up the bank
and ran for our lives. They sent q
few shots after US, but made no at.
tempt at pursuit. I guess they were
not particularly anxious to kill US.
What they wanted was the plumber.

But If you think piracy has been
swept off the face Of the waters en-
tirely, you're nightly mistaken. The
Canton river swarms with that kind of
thief, and the last time l was in
China l had a run in with some Of
them.
That was five years ago. l was
second mate on the Orion, trading
between Frisco and Hongkong. On
the first trip out l found that we
would have to wait couple of weeks
before we could get our return cargo
on board. I had friend in Canton,
a tea merchant, and the captain al
lowed me to run up and pay him a
visit
He was glad to see me, and to
pass the time proposed a trip further
up the river In a houseboat to a place
where there was good snipe shooting

Seoreoate Cattle and Horses.

Cattle and horses should not run
together and be shut in the same
small corral together. 1t may be all
right to pasture then together, but
in the corral, particularly during the
cold weather, one is liable to hurt the
osher. Horses will run the cattle and
cattle may hook the horses.

meeting of unemployed womeRN
They: were young and they were
old; they were fresh checked and
they were wrinkled; they were hope
full and they were hopeless; they were
still bravely endeavoring to keep up
appearances or irretrievably shabby.
There was no soap box oratory.
There was no cry of Down with the
capitalist" They didn't ask that
anyone be lowered, but only that
they might be helped up.
Around the hall were banners with
inscriptions: I'VE have helped enrich
the city. What will the city do for
us?" go deny us the right to work
is to deny us the right to live"
At first they listened to the
speeches of social workers with a
weary stolidness, and then one or
two became holder and told their own
stories.
Perhaps, if, like the soap box
orator, they had striven for effect,
they might have left their listeners
cold. But they did not care what the
rest thought; they only we're telling
aloud what they had been saying
over and over to themselves.
Some of the younger social work
ers began to cry as the stories went
monotonously on, seemingly woven

ROBERT INGERsOLL's CHOICE
Brilliant Retort Which Won the Icon-
 oclast Lawsuit

When Bob Ingersoll was in the prime of his law practice in Peoria the colonel happened to have as his client young and buxom widow The opposing coun- sel was the late Jonathan K. Cooper, as staunch a Presbyterian as he was an able lawyer.
 At tho close of the evidence, the Ar gonaut states. MT. Cooper arose and made a splendid argument for his side of the case, closing by saying that his legal opponent was prejudiced when it came to defending beautiful women.
 After the venerable Presbyterian closed, Colonel Ingersoll arose with a twinkle in his eye. and slowly and solemnly commenced as follows: Gen tlernen of the jury. the counsel on the other side is correct I do have lean ing in the direction of beautiful women. love the fireside about which play beautiful children, presided over by a smiling. beautiful mother. I tell you what 1t Is, gentlemen of the jury. 1 would rather-much rather--if I had my choice. be in hell 15 minutes, sitting on hard wooden bench beside a wom- an as beautiful as Cleopatra, than to reside a lifetime in heaven singing psalms with Jonathan K. Cooper"
 Ingersoll won the suit.
