DRENCHING DROVE OF HOGS
Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into
Pen Where They VIII Have But
Little Room to Move In.

The quickest and easiest way to
drench a drove of hogs is to drive
them into a small pen where they Will
have but little room to move about.
To hold the animal while drenchfng
1t a moose of sash cord or quarter
inch rope can be placed around the
upper jaw, well back toward the
angles of the lips, and the medicine
thrown into the back part OF the
mouth with a dose syringe. AS there
is danger of hog breaking syringe
it is best to use metal one. Some
times when the drench is bulky and
the hog hard to hold, it is necessary
to elevate the head and raise the fore
feet off the ground For this purpose
a pulley and rope wire stretcher is
recommended 1t should be hung in
the most convenient part of the pen
and the animal secured in the usual
way by placing moose around the
Jaw. The end of the rope is thrown
over the hook in the lower pulley and
the hog drawn UP until it is almost
off the floor. 1t is best to wait till
the hog has become quiet, well under
control, before giving 1t the drench,
as there is some danger of the medi-
cine getting into the air passages and
doing harm.

DESERT WRECKS A MINSTREL
Mule and Trained Dogs With One.
Man Show Perish OF
Thirst.

Pomona, Cal.--Hitched to light
wagon in the place OF faithful mule
which persisted in the desert, William
Green, an old animal trainer from
New Orleans, arrived here and ap'
pealed to Mayor Vandergrift for aid
He was sick and penniless.
Green left New Orleans lRst March,
headed for the San Francisco EXPOSE
ton. He had show wagon drawn by
the mule In the wagon were IL per-
forming dogs. Green himself was once
a leading light of minstrelsy.
The wandering minstrel raked in
the money till he struck the desert in
Arizona and then his fortune faded.
His mule died of thirst. He bought a
horse and it persisted on the desert.
His intelligent dogs, some of which
were valued at $500, dropped off one
by one. He says aid given by passen-
gers of an overland train enabled him
to get out of the desert with his own
life.

Hartford, Conn.-Twentytwo spinal
bone graft operations on children
Committed from improper homes to
the Newington Home for Crippled
Children, without the loss of single
patient, is the record of three Hart
ford physicians during the year.
The operations were performed by
DR.. ]. c. Wilson, assisted by Drs. R.
M. Yergason and Edward A. Deming.
The operation first performed three
years ago by Doctor Albee of New
York city is one of the most difficult
known to medical science today. The
Newington Home is operated by the
Connecticut Childrens Aid society.
For many years the name of the insti-
tuition was the Newington Home for
[ncurables, but because of the num-
Der of cures, both in spinal and hip
trouble and in club foot and paralysis
which the doctors were able to effect,
the name recently was changed.

MEDALS HAVE THEIR DUTY
Champion Crop Raiser Uses Them as

Hiawatha, Kan Gold medals for
prize crops are so numerous with S. G
Trent of Hiawatha, who has just been
designated at the Panama-Pacific ex.
position as champion corn grower foi
Kansas, that he uses the prize medals
as paperweights in his mill office.
Trent has no formula of secret prac-
tice that enabled him to raise the 1T
bushels to the acre and win the prize.
The corn was grown on his fathers
farm five miles southwest of town. In
a field of IS acres Trent measured eff
an acre, planted Boone County white
corn, cultivated it just as he would
an ordinary crop, and gave 1t no spe-
cial attention of any kind. The corn
grew and made him 1T bushels.

In the fields a big team makes haste

There is pleasure and inspiration in
the business of breeding and handling

it is just as essential to breed good
feet on to them as to get weight and
blood in them.

UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK
Device Patented by Illinois Man 10 Es-

Moved Easily.

Handling of live stock, especially
hogs that are ready for market, is oft
times cruel and a cause of real finan-
cial loss to the shipper because of
lack of unloading facilities at the local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer has
patented the unloading chute shown
here. 1t is strong and yet light enough
to be moved freely about so that hogs
may be unloaded from the wagon on to
the level ground. Cleats prevent slip
ping of an animal that is coming down
the chute, thus reducing the possibili-
ties of broken legs and bruises. The
chute may be folded up and carried on

The queen of Bulgaria, whose ability

actively to the work which she loves

so, while the soldiers of her kingdom
