PRACTICAL HINTS
FOR HOG BREEDER
Field of Winter Rye Upon Which
Animals May Be Turned in
Spring Is Great Aid.
(By w. M. KELLY

A few years of actual experience in
the business of breeding swine has
convinced me of the falsity of many
of the theories concerning breeding
and growing swine.
A field of winter rye upon which
the hogs may be turned early in the
spring and on which they may feed
while the other forage crops are being
sown and started will help out won
derfully in the amount of grain food
required to keep them in a good
thrifty condition.
When turned on to any green feed
for the first time one hour each day
until they have become accustomed to
the change will be better for the hogs
than to allow them to make a too rad
ical change of diet.
The man that has hogs and knows
how to keep them, has what is Litter
than a gold mine these days.
Get the kind of hogs you like to see
around you best. They will do the
best for you, because you will do the
best by them.
Hogs like charcoal, especially in
winter 1t does them lots of good ;
corrects the tendency to stomach and
bowel troubles.
The best hog is not the one that
has the longest legs. That kind will
run off more flesh than you can put
on. Length of body beats long legs
all hollow
Don't be in too big hurry when you
feed. Stop and watch the pigs and
hogs eat You can tell in that way
whether they are well and hearty OF
not.
Have you a good many small pota
toes? They are fine for hogs when
boiled soft and mashed. The hogs
relish them and they are rich in pork
making material.

IN the promenade, at the five
" o'clock tea, and en- route to the
matinee one sees hats in all the new
shapes and styles. With greater fire.
quency than any other the new sailor
f1aunts its charms in all sorts of beau
tiful designs.
Hats in this shape, with moderately
large and high crowns, and brims mar
row and almost straight, are to be
seen in every color and variety of ma
terial, and trimmed in all the trim
mings known to millinery. This is
the new sailor shape, and one of those
lucky ventures of the hat manufac-
storm.
Ribbons with small f1trwers or rib
bons with fancy feathers and orna-
ments, prove to be the choice of the
majority for trimming the sailor
shape. 1t is simple matter, too, to
place the trimming successfully, and
this hat has been a ready seller to
those thrifty women who undertake
to make their own simpler millinery.
This accomplishment, by the way, is
quite the fashion, and is not confined
to those women who wish to trim
their hats for the sake OF economy
alone. 1t is something of fad with
people who do not need 30 think of
economizing, but who enjoy making
up beautiful things of any kind. This

big strong horses running around and
playing like so many colts, and even
rolling over in the snow, for we do
have snow occasionally in "Ole Vir-
ginny." Now the writer does not re-
member ever seeing one of these
horses with cold or even cough,
all during the time they were on this
Virginia farm.
OF course / am well aware that the
climate in the North and West is
much colder than that OF Virginia,
but where teams are accustomed to
the winters of these other states, they
can be turned out with impunity,
should think, and without any fear of
injuring them.
In connection with the idea Of
horses being turned out for exercise in
the winter season, the writer calls to
mind a paragraph that he recently
read which stated that Secretary Will
son, has been wintering a herd Of
horses out of doors, for the past
20 years, on his Iowa farm. These
horses have access to a shed that they
could find protection from the cold
blasts, but it is said that they sought
protection in wooded ravine and
would not go into the shed, even in
the worst weather. This herd of
horses enjoy the best of health, and
they, being put in pasture when be-
tween one and two years old, are kept
there until they are taken out to be
broken and sold.
Here is practical illustration of
the cold weather that horses will
stand and thrive in, if they are turned
loose, so that they can get the amount
of exercise that they stand in need Of.
Too many stations are pampered,
and at the same time injured by
keeping them shut up in close stalls,
when they should have the run of the
paddock every good day during tbs
winter.
Just remember that it is almost i'm
possible to hurt horse of any class,
or of any breed, by turning him out
and letting him keep warm by NOV
ing around in the paddock, field or
pasture lot.
This same simple rule will apply
equally well to brood mares and colts

Ribbons in Infinite Variety.

The new ribbons of this spring are
lovely and of such infinite variety that
one to suit any sort of hat may be
found. For the swathing end draping
of utility hats there are ribbons in
plaids, In MORE and fancy selyages, in
shadow effect, or in tones ranging
from green-goId to goiden-brown, and
in faille with selvage in fancy jacquard
patterns. For the trimming of more
elaborate hats-those worn at church
weddings and at luncheons-are rib
bnns in hand-embroidered taffeta, in

How to Apply Water.

In dry time plants must either be
drenched or left alone. A little sur
face watering only causes the roots
to feed nearer the surface and they
will then be injured by the drought
more than if they are not watered at
all. Stirring the surface soil will do
more good than anything but generous
and continued watering. For single
plants old tin cans with perforated
bottoms may be set half their height
in the ground near the roots and the
water poured into them.

of some disadvantage in foreign coun-

dolman. Georgette's genius has man
aged to make it fairly shapely, and al
together it is about the most attrac-
tive of the many taffeta wraps to
which we will have to become accus-
toned.
1t is cut in the voluminous style
which the mode demands and trimmed
with narrow knife-plaitings of taffeta
and an applied design of covered cord.
A soft cable cord is used for max
ing it, and the taffeta is cut In narrow
bias strips and sewed over the cord.
One thing is demonstrated by styles
like that shown here, and that is that
women stick to the utterly feminine
in the construction of their apparel
no matter what excursions they may
make into the worlds of business and
politics. Therefore we shall see
them trooping to the polls to vote in
the most impractical and unbusiness-
like of clothes. 1t is the eternal fem
mime again.

OUR new styles are bewildering in
W variety and draw their inspiration
from many periods of time. But the
early and mid-Victorian eras have
made themselves most strongly felt
even in competition with those beau
tiful adaptations of the Greek draper
les which are incomparably graceful.
In fact nothing really new has be-
come established so far this season,
and we are masquerading in costumes
some of which would make our grand
mothers and our great grandmothers
feel very much at home if they could
revisit their earthly abodes.
Many of the new wraps and gowns
make no claim to being graceful.
They depend for charm on the beauty
of fabrics and their suggestion of the
femininity of days gone by.

GENERAL ILLS OF BASEBALL
Federal League Was Distinct Blow to
Entire Business Enterprise
Many Boneheed Plays.

Baseball is suffe' ing from Just one
thing after another The Federal
league was a distinct blow to the en-
tire business enterprise that has been
founded upon a national sport, as
the Fed erals will find to their cost one
of these lays. No good has been done
the sporl by the incessant yapping
about the Players Fraternity and con-
tinual weeping about the rights of
the poor, down-trodden performers.
The expressed willingness of Walter
Johnson and others to jump as soon
as they could get their price, and the
brotherly love stun between the teams
on the field, has taken much of the pep
out of the pastime and likewise out Of
the fans. Further, we will venture 10
say that no season in baseball History
ever saw so many unqualifedly bone.

beyond all peradventure that the high
salaried athletes were not devoting
their mental processes on the field to
the single purpose of putting some
thing over on the other fellows, but
were thinking Of other things says a
writer in Chicago Tribune. Don't get
the idea for minute that the fans
have not noticed and resented the fact
that numerous players, whose work
they paid high prices to see, were not
paying strict attention to business, but

fashion as he turned to resume his po
sition in the pitchers box.
Everything went finely until RUDE
shook his head when Larry signaled
for a ball on the outside. Schauer had
two strikes on the batter, and when he
refused to obey McLean's orders Larry
naturally was puzzled. Finally, after
a little elaboration, the Rube wound
up and the ball shot straight for the
groove. A minute later it was over the
fence for a home run. Pulling off his
mask Mclean ran out to the center OF
the diamond and began to rake
Schauer over the Goals.
