FEEDING CORN ON THE'STALK
UnbusinessIike Method of Turning
Pigs Into Field and "Reckon" They
Are Doing Well.

More corn on the stalk will prob
ably be fed to hogs this year than
ever before. 1t is not a great deal
of satisfaction to see bunch Of shoats
doing we'll in standing corn and not
know what price they are paying for
the corn. We wouldn't sell corn as
a rule to any man on that basis, but
good many of us seem to be willing
to reckon" that the hogs paid a
pretty good price for the corn and let
1t go at that. Handy stock scales are
too important part of the farm equip
ment to be without, considering their
cost and the great educators they
are. To be able to state in pounds
what crops and live stock produce is
just plain business. To be forced to
give an estimate in terms of pretty
good" or poor" or fair" or others
as indefinite says plainly 81 am a

A Historic Weapon.

Mons, which henceforth is en-
shrined in British hearts, has long
been a household word for Scotsmen.
Every boy insists on an excursion TO
Edinburgh castle to see Mons Meg.
For Meg was made in Flanders, and
did much havoc at the siege of Scot
fish castles as we'll as in wars of ad-
venture into England Partly of wood
and partly of iron, the great gun was
put together late in the fifteenth cen
tury. Cromwell captured it and listed
it as "the great iron murderer, Meg"
While firing a salute for the duke OF
York, in 1852. Meg burst. A century
later it was banished from Edinburgh
to the Tower of London as useless
gun; but Sir Walter Scott saw ro-
nance and patriotism in Mons Meg,
and persuaded the ws:s office to send it
back to the castle-London Chronicle

USE CT SIGHT ON A RIFLE
Necessary Because Bullet Cannot Be
Made to Travel on
Straight Line.

The average person, if asked to ex-
plain why a rife is sighted, would
probably be unable to do so beyond
some vague remark about taking cor
rect aim.
Sights are necessary because bull
let does not travel in straight line,
but, under the influence Of gravity and
friction, begin to drop almost as soon
as it leaves the muZzle. Thus the
bullet of our service rifle Gee En-
fleld) drops SIX inches in the first
100 yards, but when it has gone 200
yards it will have dropped not II
inches, but two feet. The drop in
creases by leaps and bounds with
the distance. Were there no sights
on the rife and you wanted to hit a
mark at 200 yards, you would clearly
have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight of the object aimed
at, to say nothing of the difficulty u
correctly estimating a distance or
two feet at 200 yards.
The sights of rifle enable you to
keep your eye on the mark, although
the muzzle of the rifle is actually
pointed above it. The moving slide or
the back sight enables you autorlat-
ically to point the muzzle just so
many feet above the mark aimed at
as is necessary to counteract the
known drop Of the bullet at various
ranges.-London Answers.

Woman Would Not Do Ii.

"Of all the silly things attributed to
women" said the observant maid,
none is so bad as a masculine habit
Of which women never are guilty, and
that is picking up newspapers left in
cars. Women do not read the papers
in public conveyances to the extent
men do, but when they do, they buy
one. Every woman has too much sense
to run the risk of taking up paper
left by fellow passenger. In the first
place, she is too fastidious to do so,
but If she were not, she would be de-
tered by hygienic reasons. She knows
how easy it would be to contract a
severe illness in such way. Besides,
there is the principle of the thing.
Women look on the reading Of other
persons papers as grating, to borrow
the word from the men,"

HARM BY ANIMAL PARASITES
Some of These Insects Create or
Manufacture Injurious Toxins
Others Transmit Disease.

nv H S. EAKIN, Colorado Experiment
Station)
Too little attention has been given
in tba mast to the Importance that
animal parasites have in relation TO
The health and we'll being of our do
nestle animals.
Very few, if any, animals are ever
free from parasites in some form, and
many are infested with parasites, of
very harmful nature. Parasites are
found in many different tissues, as
the brain, sinuses Of the head, air
passages, lungs, liver, stomach, in
testines, muscles, blood, etc., and ex-
ternally on and in the skin, in the
ears. etc. Some of these cause me-
chanical disturbances, others create
or manufacture toxins which are IN
furious to the animal infested, some
transmit diseases. Some animals
may carry one form of parasite which
NAV later infect other animals of a
different species in different form.
Some of these parasites are trans
formed from animals to man and vice
versa.
Animal parasites annually cause
great pecuniary loss, and for other
reasons briefly enumerated above,
more attention should be accorded
the domestic animals; and should any
suspicion be directed to an animal,
competent veterinary advice should
be Immediately secured.

Thorn Hedue of Ypres.

The town with the unpronounceable
name, Ypres, once proved literally too
thorny a problem for English be-
siegers. When Henry Spencer, bishop
of Norwich, led his troops against it
they tried in vain again and again to
pierce the mass of thorn bushes that
lined the exterior slopes of the ram
parts. Hence the image of Notre
Dam-de-Thuine, "Our Lady of the
Garden" in the Cathedral OF st. Mar
tin at Ypres, and also the fair OF
Thuindag, fixed for the first Sunday in
August, in honor of the thorn hedge
that saved the city.

NO MALICE IN ELEPHANTS
Coed Mature Characteristic Of JunaIs
Monster, Gays Traveller Who
Should Know.

In 1905 | found myself near the
Inzia, river, an important aff1uent of
the XVIII, flowing through a fertile
region which is infested by herds Of
elephants, source of constant anxi-
ETY. and frequent losses to the agri-
cultural inhabitant, writes E. To-day
in the Wide World Magazine. In
country like this, where he Is not
hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls,
the elephant is decidedly good ma
tured. We were tcld by the mission
boys at Pana that in the rainless sea-
son, when their usual haunts are
dried up, the elephants frequently
wander near the river and attack the
plantations. The natives try to drive
them away. with sticks But it is no
good hitting them or throwing stones
at Them" l was told; they generally
refuse to take any notice. Sometimes
a mother with a calf will turn on US
and chase us for 100 yards or so, but
no real harm is meant and the ami
NAL Is not really angry, for all the
signs of fury-spread ears and raised
trunk-are absent All the same we
do run away, although we know there
is no danger. One day a boy fell
when thus pursued, but the elephant
only threw sand on him."

pushed out of the way by one of these
good-natured monsters, when the an
imal had more than enough provoca-
ton to kill him, was inclined to &C

FEW FUNCTIONS OF TANKAGE
Connects Successive Generations OF
Pigs So vitality That One May
Become Food for Next.

(By G. R. SAMSON. oregon Experiment
Station.)
Tankage connects the successive
generations of pigs so vitality that one
generation may become food Tor tns
next. When hogs are slaughtered
their blood and refuse that were lot
merly wasted are made into tanKase
and used to fatten the next crop OF
pigs for the market. While not a
great deal of this material enters In
|, to the new lot of pigs the most ex-
pensive parts of their carcasses are
made up by 1t.
Tankage is a by-product of the
meat industry that is admirably sulteo
to hog feeding, and is likely to re-
main the cheapest source OF protein
for swine. The supply is increasing
as slaughter methods become more
concentrated and efficient.
At present, large quantities OF ma
terials from which tankage is MADE
are wasted by the small slaughterlng
establishments. The use of a system
that provides for saving this material
and turning it into valuable COM
mercial product instead of into pub
lie menace to health will increase the
supply and assure its availability
throughout the entire year.
Swine are likely to remain the prin-
cipal consumers of this product be-
cause it is neither so palatable nor
digestible to cud-chewing animals.
Being product of the meat industry,
tankage has more direct relation to
the swine production than has any
other protein feed supply. 1t carries
twice as much protein as linseed and
soy bean meal, nearly seven times as
much as barley or corn, and costs
only about one-third more. 1t may
also be fed an indefinite time without
injurious results.

Pius as Virus Carriers.

Observations made by German spe-
cialists have shown that hogs which
have recovered from an attack of hog
cholera, but which are otherwise in
an unsatisfactory condition, are often
found to be virus carriers. The urine
of young pigs is especially dangerous
and is often the chief cause Of the
spread of the disease. The secretion
from the eyes and nose is dangerous,
for this may be inhaled or may come
in contact with the mucous mem
brane of healthy animals, thus caus.
ing the disease.

Cracks in furniture should be filled

until it becomes like putty, then
press it firmly into the cracks and
smooth the surface over with a thin
knife. Sandpaper the surrounding
wood, and work some of the dust into
the beeswax. This gives finish to
the wood, and when 1t is vanished
the cracks will have disappeared.
Putty used in the same way soon
