Shaved by Swiss on Border.

Innsbruck, Austrian Tirol, Oct. o.
The Swiss-Austrian frontier Is careful
" marked off and closed by barbed wire
fences. but that does not prevent fair
" free intercourse between the Swiss
and the Austrian soldiers.
Soldiers of both countries are group
ed along the Engadine border and In
the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only
one of his profession on either side. A
recent visitor to this front who de-
sired to have a shave found it was OBJ
tainable by the simple expedient OF sit
ting In a chair on the Austrian side
and allowing the Swiss soldier to ex-
tend his arms through the wire meshes.
The shave was not the equal OF one
in a regular barber shop, a bit ragged
and rough in spots, but it was better
than mont and was accomplished with
out any breach of neutrality. Aus
TRAN officers, it is asserted, resort al
most daily to the odd ~expedient.

LIVE o AND DAIRY.

the hands Of the mixer should be alb
solutely clean and dry.

for a tremendous amount Of feed, and
this feed must be furnished her II she
is going to yield the best returns.
1t Is a well known fact that disease
is more prevalent among hogs Just aft
er they are started on new corn than
any other time.

but they should be dry, tight enough
to exclude rains and SHOWS and also
capable of being well ventilated In
summer when the weather Is hot and
shade is needed.
Disinfect all troughs at least once a
week. Don't let them become foul.
1t never pays to feed lice. Keep
your pigs clean and free from pests and
they will grow faster.

HoGGING DOWN CORN CROP.
Experiments Have Proved That This
Is Entirely Practicable.

Experiments Have Proved That This
Is Entirely Practicable.
Several experiment stations have
found 1t to be entirely practicable to
hog down at least part of the corn
crop. says the Iowa Homestead. BY
this system economical gains can be
made II good judgment is used at the
beginning Of the feeding period and a
little precaution is taken while the
hogs are in the corn.
The first essential is to get the hogs
well accustomed to new corn before
turning them into the field. This must
be done by cutting and hauling some
Of the new corn put into the pasture.
1t must be remembered that II is an
absolute impossibility to get a bunch
Of hogs out of a cornfield In an hour
or two after thoy are turned In. That
is why 1t is necessary in getting hogs
used to new corn to haul 1t from the
field.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t is
wasteful to start feeding the new

Demonstration work with corn con-
Quoted at the New Jersey station has
clearly shown the value Of securing
good seed. During the past two years
the seed has been the cause Of differ
ence in yield of five to twenty bushels
an acre and even more In several tests.
The first point to consider In select
ing seed corn is maturity. AS corn
must be acclimated to a region before
the best results can be obtained, 1t is
not wise to use seed from another To-
cality, even that grown In another Sec
ton Of the state. 1t is better to secure
seed from a neighbor producing the
best corr in the community.
It Is difficult in New Jersey to pro-
duce good seed corn because each
farmer produces a different variety or
a different strain of the same variety.
Another important factor In selection
Il a pure strain. This may easily be
determined by the color OF each ear
and the color Of individual grains In
each ear. Other points to be consid-
cred are size and shape of the ear.
straightness Of rows, length Of kernel.
variety of kernel as shown by the germ
and color Of cob.

Following Fresh Farm Burrows
HOW TO KILL TURKEYS.
Most Common Method Is by Sticking
Them In the Mouth.

Them In the Mouth.
The most common way Of killing
turkeys is to hing them up by their
legs and stick them with a knife In the
mouth. making one or two cuts dag
onally across the roof of the mouth
while moving the point Of the knife
forward from the edge Of the skull.
After sticking. the birds are Drained
BY running the point of the knife I'M
der the eye OF into the roof Of the
mouth in such a way as to strike the
inside of the skull directly between
the eyes. The knife may be slightly
twisted when the point reaches the
brain, the bird giving a characteristic
CULVER when properly Drained. after
which the feathers pick easily.
The feathers are usually picked in
the following order: Flights. main tail,
back, sides, breast, legs and thighs.
Turkeys are usually dry picked and
shipped undrawn to market. The long
wing feathers bring a good price on
the market. The methods of killing
and dressing turkeys and chickens are
practically the same.-Prairie Farmer

Keep the Soil Supplied With humus
and Mulch the Surface.

BY saving the water from the early
rains crops will not suffer as much
later In the summer II drought occurs.
Usually more water is lost from the
soil by evaporation-that Is, drying out
from the surface. than crops use.
There are two chief ways OF helping
to prevent this-namely, by keeping
the soil well Supplied with organic
matter. or humus, and by maintaining
a soil mulch over the surface. This
soil mulch or layer of loose dry soil
forms a blanket. preventing the soil
water from reaching the surface where
evaporation Is so rapid In hot or windy
weather.
Every gardener should start water
saving at once. IL the newly plowed
land is disked thoroughly the same
day 1t is turned over there Is less
chance of the burrows drying out badly
before the land Is planted. Newly
spaded land should be raked over the
same day the soil Is turned.

Ancient Egyptian Temple Found.

Ancient Egyptian Temple Found.
Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-The discovery
of a temple at Memphis, Egypt. be-
longing approximately to the period Of
Rameses H., is announced by the Uni
versity museum as a result OF the
spring and summer explorations OF
Eckley B. Coke, IT., Of the Egyptian
expedition under the leadership Of DIR.

tan section.
The find is considered Of first impor-
lance and it is hoped will prove to be
the beginning Of further Developments
in the u%ncovering Of the history OF
Memphis, which was n OF the great
cities Of the world, probably the great
est in the time Of Rameses H., more
than 5000 years ago, which is known
to have been Of great Importance 5000
years ago and probably has Il history
running thousands of years behind that
era.
The temple was silted over with mud
from the Nile and covered with sand
blown from the desert. so that nothing
remained of the glories which were so
prominent in the days Of Herodotus
and which lasted until within a GER
fury or two Of the Christian era.
The discovery Of the great temple to
