How Fishes Breathe

air like we do? FISHING PAN.
Both land and water animals are

both in air and water. While land
animals have lungs 10 breathe with,
fishes have gilIs by which they sep

Gold fishes kept IN globe die

Some water animals have lungs.

live partly on land and partly In

one can understand, about using tire
resources of nature in a commf n
sense way, and if his ideas were fully
followed out, western Tennessee would
soon be famous as stock-growing
center. He pins his faith to lespe-
deza and other clovers and legumes
that thrive there, and raises not only
hogs but also the quality of his soil
at the same time. II he had the
money and dathe time to follow out
those ideas he would make himself
and the country around Selmer i'm
mensely rich.
On the train coming back to New
York, had the good fortune to meet
Mr.. Frederick G. Minkler, director of
the New Jersey State Agricultural
College. who makes a speciality of
hog-raisiDg. For several hours he
gave me most valuable information,
covering almost the whole range of
swinology,and it was the most interest
ing talk ever listened to. tits inspir-
ing to listen to a man who is a real
master of his subject, and this man is
such master. He believes that the
hog business, if carried on so as to
raise them on mixed rations raised on
a Farm in Tennessee, offers the best
outlook for ready-cash farming that
he knows of. Mr.. Minkler showed
pictures of hogs weighing over 1000
pounds each, of the Duroc breed,
which he says has proved best for
the South, or at least for Kentucky
He also told all about the anti-cholera
serum and its effects, which are onlg
temporary and in some cases retard
the growth of the hog, and should
only be used when cholera breaks out
in herd; of crude-oil dips for lice,
how to make hog houses for $40
apiece; of self-feeders he has devised
Of the land and the capital needed |
for certain sized herds, and hundred |
other essential things about hog |
raising. He invited me to come and |
see him, and to visit the great hog
ranch at Secaucus, N. j., where
10000 hogs are raised on city garb-
age.
1t seems to me that a hog farm and |
a cow ranch would GO we'll together,
the skim milk being one of the best
and cheapest of all pig feeds. A
creamery would take care of all the
butter-fat, and the skim milk turned |
into pork would pay big dividends
A writer in this weeks Rural New
York who says he lives in Tennessee
wishes to know about how to raise
hogs in New York, aud the paper
tells him very properly that he had
better stick to Tennessee, where the
season is longer and the feed |
and land cheaper. He is reminded,
however, that hog raising means
work, and that he cannot manage
such ranch from a roller-topped
desk.

Game Laws

We give below the game laws
of Tennessee for the benefit of
our readers. They are compiled
by the state game warden and he
calls upon the citizens of the
state to observe them, and prose-
cutions will be rigidly enforced.
We trust our people will be law
abiding.
Birds are considered the farm
er's best friends. It is claimed
the quail is the enemy of the
boll-weevil. There is a good
crop of quail, and if unmolestod
will be abundant in the future.
Those who have notices in the
Independent mean business, and
we trust that none will put them
selves in jeopardy.
The following is the law:
