thing like this:

very much worried over by lack of
baggage,
Most every gent what comes

Oh, yes I told him, I've got some
thing to sell For a moment he
seemed satisfied. But his curiosity got
the better of him, and he broke out
with another question:
What might dat something be you
got to sell. boss2" he asked.
Il thought it over for a while, and
decided that I should have to give
some kind of an answer, so I said, I

Mexican Boy Orphaned at Siege
of Vera Cruz.
Marines Adopt Little Jesus Estrada
Whose Father and Mother Were
Killed During the Street Battle
in the Mexican City.

Vera Cruz, Mex.-Jesus Estrada lost
his father and mother when the
Americans took Vera Cruz. He
wasted no time in finding himself an
other father-Captain R. S. Hooker Of
the Eleventh Company Of Marines.
Jesus, who is fourteen years old, and
his new dad are great pals. The boy S
father had a small clothing store in
the plaza, and he and his wife and
Jesus, their only child, lived in the
! rooms over the shop. When the firing
began, that first morning, Estrada,
the clothier, rushed into the street,
The plaza was crowded, and, as the
firing grew louder, the people ran aim
less hither and thither. Estrada did
his utmost to keep his little family to-
gether as they were carried this way
and that by the panic-stricken mob.
By and by the human stream carried
them into a side street, and a block
| along it to the next corner where an
| eddy swept them through the door
way Of a hotel.

A squad of marines appeared on
the run around a distant corner, drag

/ about so that the muzzIe was directed
/ down the street. 1t happened that it
pointed as the open door of the hotel.
Jesus Estrada knelt huddled On the
crowded floor, kith his face buried
| against his mothers breast. Estrada,
! the clothier, placed himself, between
/ his wife and child and the door He
/ was a man of peace, this clothier, but
/ he would face death for them.

Here, length Of snout, which partly
includes length of jowl and the alb
sence of loose fabbiness so frequent

lengthy animal The idea has been
to reduce the cheap parts of the ami

dearer On that account light fore
head is necessary, but it must not be
at the expense of width of back or
depth in the pig.
AS a rule pig narrow at the poll
(between the ears) is not the widest
on his top, nor is he the thriftiest of
feeders. There may be exceptions to
this rule, but it can be applied gener-
ally. The advantages of a prominent
eye and smooth unwrinkled jaw or
cheek, as well as width between the
eyes, are that they invariably indicate
a smooth, lean-feshed animal
A short heavy head is invariably as
scciated with a very round body and
a wide and very fat back, altogether
wasteful carcass. The neck should
not be too long, otherwise it indicates
weakness, and a short neck generally
goes with a short side, which from
the bacon point Of view of course is
not desirable. 1t is important to note,
the character of the middle piece.
The ribs should spring from the
back, but they should not be entirely
round. They should rather spring well
and allow the animal to be turned
out slightly fiat from the sides. There
will then be less wasteful fat on the
top without decreasing the depth of
the pig. a2s7sg73 4,sss g eeSs3s -,s2 ss,ess-,-

CLIPPING THE CLOVER BACK
Produce Seed Year It Is Sown
Cutting Off Bloom Helps

Wnen good stand Of clover has
been secured by sowing a nurse crcp
when it has passed safely through the
critical period and this crop has been
removed, if the conditions are favor
able, red clover, alsike and mammoth
are all likely TO attempt TO produc& 2
seed crop the year they are sown, says
Wallace's Farmer. We have seen
times, when conditions were very IA
vorable, when crop of hay would
be secured from the spring sowing.
and in one case We know of, some
years ago, both a crop of hay and a
crop OF seed were produced
This would naturally convert this
biennial into an annual, and it would
be interesting to know just what hap
pened to that field the next year. Our
belief is that it would act exactly as
two-year-old clover after a crop of hay
and crop of seed has been secured
the year after it is sown We do not
think it advisable to permit clover to
produce seed the year it is sown. It
would undoubtedly weaken the stand
as stalk that has produced seed has
served its purpose, and will be very
likely to disappear the next year
We found out by experience that by
clipping our clover back, that is cut
ting it of high enough simply to take
off the seed heads, we secure a much
better stand the next year. There
fore, we think 1t is good farming not
to allow clover to produce seed the
year it is sown. Care should be taken
to do this clipping just at the right
time, and to set the cutter bar high
enough SO as not to injure the plant
