FURNISH SWINE PURE WATER
Hogs Do Not Drink Out of Filthy Pools as Matter of Choice--ln-
 diana Incident Is Related.

We have heard men argue that hogs do not require pure water since they exhibit their disregard in this matter by commonly drinking out of filthy pools. It is not improbable that hog herd may become so degenerate in its habits as to pay no attention to the supply of their drinking water. But this degeneracy, or what else you may name it, is not a matter of en- vironment, says a writer in Farmers Review. Hogs do not differ from oth- CT animals in adapting themselves to their surroundings. In fact it is one of the laws of nature that a species which can best adapt itself to varying conditions stands the best chance to survive. The hog accepts filthy water when there is nothing better. After Q while he loses his taste for pure water.
 Our remarks on this subject are prompted by the following incident re- ported by one of our Indiana readers: This man had been In the habit of al lowing his herd of hogs to secure wa ter from a more or less muddy creek. On account of the prevalence of dis ease on a farm above him he decided to provide water for the herd with hog fountain. In hauling the fountain to its position in the pasture he had to cross the creek and in getting to this point a number of hogs out of curiosity had followed They contin. ued to follow him across the creek and to the final location of the foun- tain, where they drank to their full when the water was turned into the drinking places.

CARE IN FEEDING BROOD SOW
Wisconsin Station Secures Satisfac- tory Results From Corn, Wheat
 MiddIings and Alfalfa.

On farms where many kinds of grain are grown there should be little or no difficulty In providing a suit able ration. For several years mature brood sows in the Wisconsin experi- ment station herd have been fed ra- tions composed of one-third corn, one-third wheat middlings and one- third wheat bran or alfalfa. Such feeds are satisfying and bulky and at the same time sufficiently nutritious to cause the sows to gain from fifty to seventy-tive pounds in live weight during pregnancy. A mixture of equal parts, by weight, of the feeds men, tioned, fed in the form of thick slop, is always very satisfactory. This in- sures an equal proportion and distri- button of the various feeds and is rel ished by the animals. The corn may be fed on the ear and the alfalfa need

mystery until it was all bewildering Had it not been for the mystery of it all-and mystery ever arouses the hu- man curiosity-I should have given up trying to get at the truth. Yet as a man with some leisure, and knowing by that letter of Elma Heath's that she was in sore distress. I redoubled my efforts to ascertain the reason of it all.
 On leaving Leghorn I had given up all hope of tracing the mysterious yachtsman and had left the matter in the hands of the Italian police. But, without any effort on my own part, seemed to have been drawn into a yer itable network of strange incidents. all of which combined to form the most complete and remarkable enigma ever presented in life.

Mukden Water Project,

A Chinese company under the name of Tien Pc Kung Ssu has petitioned the governor general at Mukden for permission to install waterworks in Mukden. The proposed capital is $1,- 100000 small coin, about $40O, ,000 United States currency, in 100000 shares of sl0 each. The amount to bQ paid up before starting work is $60O.000 small coin, the remainder to be paid up when required. Such a scheme is doubtless workable and would be profitable if properly man. aged, for Mukden has a population of 175,000.
 The scheme does not include piping for houses. but the water is to be conveyed to street hydrants from which every householder will be al- lowed to draw his own supply. Those who wish to have water in their houses will be able to do so later by paying the cost of laying pipes and making necessary connections. - Cleveland Plain Dealer.

not be cut, and the rest of the ration should be given as thick slop.
 Brood sows weighing from 300 to $50 pounds usually can be kept on one of the above rations for about s1.50 a month.
 If you live in section where these can be grown, sugar beets or giant half-sugar mangels may be used to form the bulky portion of the ration and to replace the bran. The sugar beets or mangels can be cut up and fed raw or may be cooked and with middlings and other meal made into thick slop. Soy beans kept on the vine make excellent winter feed for swine. They can be stacked in or near the hog lot in the fall and fed out as needed. The hogs will get abundant exercise working over the pile of vines in search of the beans.

 And although I was silent, l shared the Scotch detectives belief.
 The afternoon was chill and wet as I climbed the hill to Greenlaw.
 The sudden disappearance of the tenants of Rannoch was, l found, on everyones tongue in Dumfries. In the smoke room of the railway hotel three men were discussing it with many grimaces and sinister hints, and the talkative young woman behind the bar asked me my opinion of the strange goings-on up at the castle l decided that the man who had smoked and chatted with me so affably on that hot, breathless night in the Mediterranean must remain in ignorance of my pres ence, or of my knowledge.

 Listen. and I'll tell you The serv. ants have described the whole affair down in the village. so there's no doubt about it. Leithcourt showed Muriel the telegram and urged her to fly. At first she refused but for her fathers sake was induced to prepare to accom-. pany him. Of course, the guests were in ignorance of all this.

Leithcourt closed the door and faced him. What afterward transpired, however, is a mystery, for two hours later, after he and the two women had escaped, leav- ing the house party to their own diver sions. the stranger was found locked in a large cupboard and insensible.
