No "Smoke of Battle" Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the alb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when rifle is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few Sec
onds after the gun is fred. Only
when shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, ''the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when ap-
piled to a modern war.-POpular Me.

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

The quickest and easiest way to
drench a drove of hogs is to drive
them into small pen where they will
have but little room to move about.
To hold the animal while drenching
it 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 It should be hung in
the most convenient part of the pen
and the animal secured in the usual
way by placing a 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, we'll under
control, before giving it the drench,
as there is some danger of the medi-
cine getting into the air passages and
doing harm.

Thoughtful Act Of Busy Man Led An

Of Kindness.

He was a brisk, well-groomed young
man, who looked as if he were hur-

He had crossed the green grass and

the tiny ditch that is going to be a
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old Whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled bunch of it
and slipped it into whitley gray's

Handling of live stock, especially

lack of unloading facilities at the local

patented the unloading chute shown

IMPORTANCE or EXPRESSION.

IMPORTANCE or EXPRESSION.
The remark was made Of 4 singer.
he had no expression in his voice.
The same may be said Of all the con
ditions Of life. The principal differ
ences that one notes in conduct are
the spirit which appears in express
sion. The value Of q deed consists
In the soul that one puts into it. One
may be perfectly accurate in voice,
motion, language and the formal parts
Of behavior. and yet there is no spirit
In It. NO expression Of what the real
person Ii behind the deed. So. after
all, the most important thing in in
dividual life Is its expression. The
only truth Of a statement, a song, an
act. u the spirit that accompanies
them. This makes expression the
principal object of education. There
can be no education without the deveI
opment of the spirit. A man who may
know how to sing, but does not sing,
IL not educated. Education is the most
practical matter. It's object is to do
good, and there is no way of doing
good except through the direction of
the spirit. Leave that out of consid-
GRAFTON. and education becomes no
more than a pile Of dead leaves.
