A certain parrot very much annoyed

things from the dining room table.
One day Jack was found stealing
pickles. and the owner in u moment Of
anger threw a knife at his head. Hi
aim was so true that he actually cut
of the tuft Of feathers on top Of the
head, leaving Jack baldheaded forever.
Some time afterward a minister was
being entertained at dinner in the
home. 1t 30 happened that the minis-

Pig Shelter.

No matter how much nOurishing feed
is given to them in winter. pigs will
not do well If they are not properly
housed. Their house should be warm
and free from drafts: also well ven
tlated. and their bedding dry and not
too dusty. The pens where the hogs
run around in the day time should be
we'll drained. A pen which has poor
drainage Is a menace to the health OF
the hogs. This is especially true dur
ing the winter.

Inasmuch as this country exported
last year between fifteen and twenty
times as many eggs as were imported.
there would seem to be little ground
for the poultry raisers of the country
losing much sleep over the flooding Of
the country with foreign eggs due to
the removal Of the tariff duty OH them.
