Piq in Society.

Here is picture in newspaper of a dainty damsel leading a little pig along the street, as she would her lap dog. And why not? A clean little pig is as nice as clean little dog; and what is more, it is very interesting animal. There is no prettier sight anywhere than little family of three or four months pigs gamboling about in stable yard chasing little snuffs of wind and tossing imaginary straws hither and thither. We commend the young lady's judgment in choosing a pig for companion along the streets. One thing that is effectual about it is, 1t will tend to keep young men at their distance. We do hope the Dig will become aristocratic enough to make itself almost a social necessity among the aristocracy. It would cer- tainly improve them, which the dog has failed to do. Still, the dog is the hyperion of animals; but the little pig he is all grace and beauty, just like the damsel, who is leading him with silken cord. Welcome the pig to our aristocracy.-Columbus Journal.

ARSENATE OF LEAD
 KILLS CHERRY SLUG
When Cherries Are Half Grown Use Either White HeIebore
 or "BIack Leaf 40."

tBy c. P. GILLETTE, Agricultural Col
 lege, Fort Collins. Colo)
 Whether or not the cherry trees bear crop, they should be protected against the loss of foliage from the attacks of the pear and cherry tree slug. When the cherries are very small, the trees may be sprayed with arsenate of lead in the proportion of one pound of the paste to each 30 gal ions of water.
 Instead of using the arsenate of lead, after the cherries are half grown or more, use either white hellebore in the proportion of one ounce to three gallons of water or Black Leaf 40" in the proportion of one part to 500 parts of water, and make a thorough spraying for the purpose of covering the upper surfaces of the leaves.
 The Black Leaf 40" will only kill the slugs with which 1t comes in con- tact, while the hellebore will kill all slugs that eat 1t for several days after the application is made.
 The advantage of using the helle- bore or Black Leaf 40" after the fruit is well grown is that they do not en- danger the people who eat the cher ries after they are ripe.
 If one has only few small cherry trees, the slugs may be quite easily removed by thoroughly dusting the foliage in the heat of the day with air-slaked lime or fine road dust.

MARVELLOUS SPEED OF DOGS
Greyhounds' Travel as Swift as tho Flight of Carrier Pigeons-Record
 of Eskimo Animals.

Few people realize of what remark able speed dogs are capable. Some statistics in regard to this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, French scientist according to Our Dumb An imals. After pointing out the mar vicious endurance shown by little fox terriers, who follow their masters pa- tiently for hours while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs. Thus, the wolf can run between fifty and sixty miles in one night, and an arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better.
 Eskimo and Siberian dogs can tray- el forty-five miles on the ice in five hours, and there is a case on record In which team of Eskimo dogs trav- eled six and a half miles in twenty eight minutes. According to M. Du- solier, the speed of the shepherd dogs. ana those used on hunting ranges, is from ten to fifteen yards a second. English setters and pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. Fox hounds are extraordinarily swift, as IS proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six and half minutes, which was at the rate or nearly eighteen yards a second. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four-footed creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that 0: carrier pigeons. English greyhounds which are used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop, a space be- tween eighteen and twenty-three yards every second.

depth desired, keeping the wall per pendicular and smooth, and clustering with cement plaster to thickness of dirt. These silos can in most cases be built at a total cost of not to ex- ceed $1.00 per ton capacity for labor and materials, and when properly con- structed in suitable locations, are per manent.
 They cannot be constructed accord ing to the above plan where the soil is so sandy that it will not stand up. In such cases it is necessary to put in retaining wall of masonry, the ex- pense of which will usually be as much as the construction of a silo above ground.
 These pit silos are not only very economical to build, but they can be filled very cheaply, as only light en- zines and cutters are necessary for this purpose. They are particularly to be recommended for the small isolated farmer of the great plains region, who wishes to own his silo-filling machin- cry, and whose available capital is linn tied. To take the silage out a hoist ing apparatus, either a swinging crane or an overhead track is used, lifting the silage in a container with a hinged bottom, so that the feed may be dump ed into a wagon box or silage distrib- utor, as desired. In cases where an overhead track is used, the feed may be taken directly from the contaner and placed before the animals. The experience of farmers who have been using the pit also is very satisfactory, and this will undoubtedly be the prin- cipal type of silo built in the future in the semiarid sections.

A Famous Physicians
 Wonderful Discovery

After series of careful experiments and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., covering many years-Dr. Pierce, the medical di- rector of that hospital. made announcement that he could prove that medicine which he called "ANURIC" was the best uric acid solvent now to be had. As a rem edy for those easily recognized symptoms of inhammation-as scalding urine, back ache and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, lum- bago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder ful how quickly "Anuric" acts; causing the pains and stiffness rapidly to disap- pear.

BEFORE LUXURY WAS COMMON
People Managed to Get Along Without the Numerous Comforts That Are
 Now Demanded.

Il sometimes wonder" said the serene, graY-haired lady, whether we were not happier when we were poor, in the day when we had none of these modern improvements that now make living so much easier and more com fortable. I mean such things as a con- stant supply of hot water, of heat in radiators that can be turned off at will and electric lights.
 This morning I heard my daughter say in great dismay:
 What! No hot water?'
 She had turned the hot water faucet in her room in the apartment and there was no hot water. Some thing had happened to the pipes; there would be no hot water for a day or two, and this she regarded as a great deprivation. She has never known what it was to live in house without hot water and she cannot understand that in this she is enjoying a great modern luxury.
 Now you would scarcely find fiat, however unpretentious, but what had at least hot water supplied In my youthful days when we wanted to wash the dishes we had to heat water on the kitchen stove. And as for hot water earlier in the morning, why, in winter we woke to find not only no hot water but the water in the pitcher frozen; and as for heat in the room, l can well remember that there was no radiator to turn on.
 But we had good time then, didn't we? We certainly did. l sometimes wonder if we were not happier then when we didn't know what 1t was to miss any of these things, when all these modern improvements were quite unknown"

SUGGESTIONS MADE
 FOR TESTING MILK
Sample Should Be Taken Quickly in Order to Get Correct Test
 Plan Outlined.
(By c. P. UNWIN, Oklahoma Experi-
 ment Station

(By C. P. UNWIN, Oklahoma Experi-
 ment Station)
 Testing milk is the process of find ing the amount of butterfat it con- tains. In order to make an accurate test correct sample must be taken in this manner: The milk should be poured from one vessel to another and the sample quickly taken, for if the sample is not taken at once, more or less cream will rise, and a sample would not be correct.
 After getting the sample for testing the next step would be to measure 17.5 co with the milk pipette into the milk bottle, and then add about the same amount of sulphuric acid, depending on the strength of the acid. The spe- cific gravity of the acid should be 1.82 to 1.S3 for the best results.
 The acid should be added with the acid cylinder, revolving the bottle while adding the acid. Mix acid and milk by rotary motion. Place them in tester so that the machine is balanced Run the machine for about five min utes. Then add hot water until the fat rises into the neck of bottles Then run the tester about two minutes and add enough water so the fat has risen above the zero mark on the neck of the bottle. The bottle may then be read by using pair of dividers to measure the fat column.

POINTS IN SEEDING
 ALFALFA FOR STAND
Soil Is Flowed in Spring or Fall and Lined if Necessary
 Keep Weeds Down.

For the beginner seeding the alfalfa alone gives the best results. The soil is plowed in the fall or early spring and lined if necessary. Then the field is disked and narrowed often enough up to the 1st of June or July to clean the land of weeds.
 On average fields this weed killing process need not be continued later than the first week in June, but with weedy soil it is well to harrow and disk until July or August. The field is then inoculated and the alfalfa seeded at not less than 20 pounds per acre.
 With favorable season one crop or two crops of hay are sometimes secured before Septembef l, but this is entirely dependent on the rainfall and soil conditions.

Just Like the Real Ones,

Artificial ears are so skillfully made that they may with difficulty be dis tinguished from natural ones. When the person who has lost an ear applies to the manufacturer for a substitute, there is made a mold of the remaining ear. If there be left any part of the other, mold of that part also must be taken to assist in the fitting of the artificial. Manufacturers assert that no two ears are alike. and that it takes a skillful workman to prepare an ear from the mold or molds.
 When finished the new ear is pasted on the stump, or simply set in the po- sition of the lost ear. It is really only the first artificial ear that is expen- sive, the chief cost pertaining to the making of the mold. Vulcanized rub Der, which can be bent and twisted, has been found to constitute the best material for the making of artificial ears.
