NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

It's false economy to feed corn alone
to the hogs.
Regularity in feeding fattening hogs
Is very important.
Pure air, pure water, clean food and
a clean place to sleep make hogs profit
able.
Constipation is very rare in a herd
Of fattening hogs that have all the
clean water they will drink.
Hogs know to the minute when feed
ing time comes, and if not fed will
fret off part of their previous gain.
Don't make the mistake of allowing
the young boars to run with the gifts
until they are three or four months old.
Feed large variety of food, but
avoid sudden changes-that is, do not
change the whole ration at any one
time.
The successful breeder always gives
his hogs all the clean water they will
drink before he gives them their grain
ration.
The brood SOW needs mixed diet
with plenty Of food rich in protein.
Early maturity is important in profit

HOW TO BE SAFE FROM LIGHTNING

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Rolin Lynde Hartt writes an in
tensely interesting page entitled Lets
Talk About the Weather." He tells
what the signs of rain are, and he also
describes some of the phenomena of
thunder and lightning. He says that
lightning hits cows oftener than people,
barns oftener than houses, country dwell
ings oftener than city dwellings, trees at
the edge of wood oftener than those in
the thick of it, oaks oftener than naples,
and human beings outdoors oftener than
human beings indoors.
He then gives the following advice as
to what to do in case of lightning:
run for house-not a barn.
Once inside house, stay there. By
actual count, it is fourteen times as safe
as outdoors.
"Outdoors, it is another tale, for there
you may be crazy enough to seek shelter
under trees. Don't misunderstood me
when tell which trees are most danger
ous-al are dangerous, none safe and
my only object is to drop hint to people
who are about to pitch a tent in the
woods. and who, consequently, risk being
caught out at night and unable to run for
their lives. With the proportion of hits
indicated, the list follows:
"Oaks, 81; poplars, "a; elms, IA; wal
nuts, II; frs, 10; willows, Z; pines, 6;
ashes, 6; pears, 4; cherries, a; apples, 2:

FIGHTING CABBAGE WORMS.

Different Remedies That Can Be Used
For the Pest.
There are several remedies that con-
troll the cabbage worm, says writer
In the Michigan Farmer. Hot water
heated to temperature Of 100 de-
grees F. and literally sprayed or dash
ed over the plants will kill all worms
with which it comes in contact and
leave the cabbages unframed.
Pyrethrum used at rate Of two
ounces to five gallons of water and
sprayed at frequent intervals will con-
troll the worms. 1t can be busted on in
powder form when cabbages are damp.
Buy pyrethrum in closed tin retainers,
as it loses its strength by exposure.
This powder is not poisonous to human
beings. A third remedy is kerosene
the disadvantage of being required to
come in direct contact with the worms
to destroy them.
Kerosene emulsion is made Of two
gallons of kerosene. half a pound of
whale oil soap Tor one quart of soft
soap and gallon of water. Dissolve
the soap in boiling water and pour in
the kerosene while still boiling. (Take
the materials away from the fire for
doing this.) Agitate thoroughly by
pumping the material through a force
pump and forcing it from the nozzle
back upon itself again.
This makes a solution and must be
diluted from fifteen to twenty times to
use on the cabbages. Paris green used
at the rate of one pound to 100 gallons
of water can be used safely until the
heads are half grown. or until within
about four or five weeks of harvesting
These are the most important methods
Of controlling this pest

Potatoes Under Straw.

One rather unusual way Of growing
potatoes is to hay the seed on the pre-
pared soil and cover with straw to
depth that will keep the seed moist
The potatoes develop just as they
would if planted in the ground. and the
tubers are formed above ground and
under the straw. The roots strike
down into the moist soil, and the tops
climb above the straw layer. This
mode Of raising potatoes has been prac
ticed by farmers for at least twenty
five years. The drawback is that pos
sibly the straw might catch fire and
burn up the possibilities of a crop.
Also the process is profitable only when
one has large amount of straw that
can be permitted to rot.

THERE is never a time when a hat,

a crown which Is so conservative as to
escape attention, Is out of style. A
shape of this kind with a covering Of
velvet and facing of crepe or satin,
trimmed with plumes, is about the
most reliable of all millinery. 1t has
no eccentricities that catch the atten-
ton, but its grace and elegance and
general becomingness make it always
pleasing.
The hat shown in the illustration is
a superb piece Of millinery made Of
velvet over frame whose brim droops,
in the gentlest of curving lines, just a
little at the back and front. The fac
ing, of crepe georgette, is a creamy
white. Besides the beauty of rich ma
terial, that of exquisite workmanship
adds its charm to the fine color-con-

the trimming. Such a composition re.

large flowers are scattered In many
