EXERCISE FOB LITTLE PIGS
live Them an ATn1fuI Of Corn Husks'
or Leaves TO Root In--Have Sep
arate Trough for Feeding.

Sometimes little pigs, when penned
up too closely, show signs of getting
too fat. BY giving them little more
room in which to run they will begin
taking enough exercise to drive away
this fatty puffiness. II given an arm
load of corn husks or leaves they will
root around in these and get quite a
good deal of exercise. 1t is all right
for the pigs to have that chubby look
that shows they are well nourished,
but they can get too puffy and fat.
AS to the feeding, that will begin to
take care of itself as soon as the little
fellows begin trying to eat with the
SOW. When they get that big they
should be fed some ground oats and
corn. Better use a screen In prepar-
ing this food, so that the bulls can be
taken out. Any sort of a screen that
will take out the hulls after grinding
will do for this.
1t is better to have a separate trough
and feeding place for the pigs than it
is to let them run chances of being
trampled underfoot or crushed when
fed along with the brood sows. BY
feeding in separate pen in smaller
trough their rations will not be stolen
by the older hogs. The pen can be ar
ranged near the regular feeding place
and furnished with an opening big
enough to let the pigs come in AMI
small enough to keep the full grown
and half grown animals outside.

Wasted Steam.

Ever since the introduction Of cleo
tricity we have had and made free
use of electrical meters, but 1t has
only been within the last few years
that reliable steam meters have been
in the market. and these meters, with
the accompanying coal and water
weighers, have done more to demon
strate the wasteful use of steam and
arouse the interest of the plant owner
than anything else known. In one
large plant the newly installed steam
meters unearthed leaks and other
waste amounting to over $4,000 a
year. and this is by no means an ex-
IRENE case.-Engineering World.

USELESS HORNS ON CATTLE


On the smaller class OF farms where
only few, or perhaps several. calves
are raised annually, 1t Is an easy mat
ter to dehorn them. or rather prevent
any horns to develop. One farmer
uses caustic potash. One light appli-
cation when a calf is ten days to two
weeks old, prevents all horn develop
ment. and beautiful head results. In
this advanced age no cattle should
possess horns They are useless as
they are dangerous Another thing is
to break all the cattle to lead and
stand tied. This is easy especially IL
attended to when the calves are young.
Still another thing is to arrange to
stable through all bad. cold weather,
for feeding. This is comfort for the
cattle and economical of feeding ma
terial. Reason teaches one that II 1t
is so economical and practical to
stable cows during all the cold sea-
son for feeding. It is equally fmpor-
tant and desirable to handle In the
same way all tie larger cattle The
calves and yearlings may be allowed
roomy dry sheds, but when they get
Of mature age, halter them up or Sc
cure them in the stable by
stanchions.
Cattle, that is milk cows and fat
steers, when II is desirable to remove
them from the farm, either for breed
ing or shipping away, if well broken
to the halter are no trouble to handle.
The whole process of handling all the
cattle easily and successfully as rec
commended, is we'll worth trying and
adopting.

MAT DONAHOE, IS:
PARKSIDE DRAWS 0
Star CheSrook Quarterback
Eliminates Parkside From
State Football Championship
AFTER BROWNSON
SCALPS NEXT TIME

Holding the advance of their oppo-
nents in check throughout the game
and themselves tearing through the
line steadily, the Chesrook football
battlers eliminated Parkside from the
race for the State football champion
ship on Saturday when they handed
them a l6 to defeat before the lar
gest crowd that has witnessed an in
dependent game at Front and Union
this season. From the start of the
game It was evident that the Ches-
rook lads would annex the game. as
their advance was constant after once
laying hands on the pigskin. Chesrook
will now take on BrOwnson.
Mat DonahOe. former star quar-
terback OF the Wilmington High
School eleven was the brilliant per
former of the fray. lie scored the
entire sixteen points for his team
carrying the ball for two tOuchdowns,
kicking goal from touchdown and
kicking a goal from the field. His lat
ter feat was a noteworthy fact of the
game as he had to make the boot
from an angle, but the ball fell
squarely between the posts. His punt
ing at all stages of the game kept
Parkside from within the Chesrook
goal zone. He also worked several
forward passes which netted substan-
tial gains for his team.
The Academy boys at the outset
ripped through the line at will and
not many seconds elapsed after they
got hold of the ball, until Donahoe had
placed II back of the Parkside goal
for touchdown. In the second per-
iod. Donahoe scored his second in.
stallment TO the score, II being a field
goal. After intercepting an attempted
forward pass, Donahoe evaded all hos
tile forces and scored his second
touchdown i'm the second half after
which he kicked the goal. Forward
passes seemed to be the only ground
gaining medium of the Blue and
White, Prettyman showing up to great
advantage in this department Cray
worked well with him. and he seemed
to be the only Parkside man to make
any impression in the Chesrook line.
Dayton. left guard; Rose, centre,
and Harkins, right guard, formed the
greatest defensive wall that has play
ed on team in this city for many a
day. Besides holding the Parkside
boys in check on the defensive. Ches-
rook always had holes opened for
their teammates when they were in
possession OF the ball. The lineup:
