Diet of Brain Workers Fixed.

Fish as a brain food is now regarded as merely a superstition by modern science. which puts the seal of ap. proval on the food which nourishes the whole body with special refer ence to the nervous system.
 Dr. George NJ. Beard says that brain power is largely an expression through the nerves of bodily vitality. In re- cent treastise Doctor Beard points out that the diet of brain workers should be of large variety. delicately served, abundantly nutritious. and that fresh meat should be a prominent constitu- ent.
 In great crises, however. that call for unusual exertion. the stomach should be rested that the brain may work the harder, but the deficiency of nutrition ought always to be supplied in the first interval of repose.

Activities of Women.

Newcastle, England, has profession al women window cleaners.
 Recognizing that hairdressing is a very suitable occupation for women. the London city council has instituted several classes where women are now learning the mysteries of curling, crimping and waving.
 The rarely awarded Lloyd's medal for saving life at sea has been con- ferred upon but one woman, Miss Kate Gilmour, for heroism in connection with the burning of the passenger steamer Sardinia, in 1908.
 New York city is to have an apart ment house planned entirely by a woman. and with each apartment in it built according to a feminine in- stead of masculine architects idea of what home should be like.

Near-East Railroads.

Our troops will not be enjoying much in the way of scenery on the railway up country from Saloniki, re. marks the London Chronicle. "Wheth- CT one goes through Adrianople to says Sir Charles Eliot "or through Uskub to Saloniki, the sides of the railway look desolate and lifeless: hills overgrown with dwarf oak alternate with plains whose bare ness is half covered with scrubby grass. There are few signs of culti- vation. and fewer of human habta- tions. Oriental railways have a way of only skirting the edge of cities, and stations are sometimes several miles from the places whose names they bear. The deserted appearance of the land is intensified hy the Turkish prac- tice of constructing towns (such as Kumanovo and Chatalja) in depres- sions of the undulating plains. where u ey are invisible at short distance"

FlSHHOOK OF NEW DESIGN
Seems to Have Many Advantages Over Those That Are In General
 Use by Anglers.

Increased efficiency and serviceabiI- ity are claimed for the new fishhook which has been recently patented. The inventor makes use of a hook having a tubular shank, provided with series of opposed openings in its walls. and rod to which the line is connected loosely engaged in said tubular shank. and provided with expansible resilient fiukes or prongs adapted to project through the opposed openings and penetrate the body of the minnow or other bait. The bait may be very cas- fly and quickly engaged upon the hook and the body of the minnow is not greatly mutilated, as the impaling members extend through the body ad- jacent to the tail Thus the minnow will remain alive for long time. It is further apparent that as the fish hook is extremely simple in its con- struction, the same may be produced

IDOL S A PUZZLE
Carving at Copan, Honduras,
 Mystery to Scientists.
Evidently Intended to Represent Ele- phant, But Strange Thing Is Where the Sculptor Could
 Have Got His Model.

Where did the prehistoric inhabit- ants of Central America get their idea of an elephant as modelled in an elab- orately-carved idol at Copan? For there never were any elephants in America. Dr. G. Elliott Smith of the University of Manchester, England, writes to Nature that this is certainly picture of an Indian elephant.
 Tt is equally clear" writes Pro- lessor Smith, that the sculptor of the monument was not familiar with the actual animal, for, according to Doc tors Maudslay and Seller, he has mis- taken the eye for the nostril, and the auditory meatus for the eye, and rep resented the tusk (note it's relation to the lower lip) and the ventral surface of the trunk in a conventionalized manner, without any adequate realiza tion of the true nature of the features he was modelling.
 Having converted the auditory meatus into an eye the sculptor had to deal with the auditory pima, the meaning of which no doubt was pug gle to him. He solved these diff culties by converting it into a geo. metrical pattern, which, however, he was careful to restrict to the area oc- cupied by the relatively small pima that is distinctive of the Indian spe cies of elephant.
 The designer also lost his bearings when he came to deal with the tur- baned rider of the elephant. No doubt in the original model the riders leg was obscured by the pima; but in the Copan sculpture he has lost his trunk also.
 All these features go to prove quite conclusively that the sculpture repre- sents an elephants head, and that it was not modelled from the real crea- ture. In other words, the craftsman was copying an earlier model (presum- ably made by some immigrant from Asia) without understanding the points of the elephant"
 Professor Smith calls attention to several other representations of the elephant in America that possess many strange details in common with the earlier sculptured representations of that animal in India. Also that the pre-Columbian Mexicans played the complicated Indian game called pa chisi, that some of the Aztec picture writings are a series of scenes taken from the Japanese Buddhist temple scrolls. He calls ludicrous the attempt to identify these elephants with blue macaws, and he cites many remark able coincidences between the attri- butes of Tlaloc, the Mexican elephant headed god of rain, thunder and light ming, and those of the Hindu Indra. also god of rain, thunder and light ming.
 His conclusion is that the Hindu god lndra was adopted in Central

replace them in the basket until the mother is through.
 For 12 hours before farrowing and for 24 hours afterwards the SOW should have no feed. During this period all the fresh, clean water that she may desire should be accessible. The water should have the chill taken of. The first feed after farrowing should be very light, preferably a bran mash. The best indicator of the amount of feed necessary for SOW and her pigs is her condition and the condition of the youngsters themselves. The SOW should receive enough to keep her and her pigs in a fair condition (not bony), and yet she should not be overfed. Overfeediug of the SOW often causes SCOUTS in the pigs.
 The pigs should be weaned at six or eight weeks of age. By this time they should be eating readily and should be continued for two or three weeks on the same mixture that their mother was receiving, after which the feed can be changed gradually to a grow ing. fattening ration if the pigs are in- tended for market. The addition of a little sweet skim milk to their ration at weaning time is especially helpful to young pigs Castrating should be done a week or ten days before wean- ing. Spaying does not pay.
 Feeding.
 The best information on the feeds available in the farmers locality can be readily and accurately given by the state experiment station. Pigs make the best use of concentrates. These can be fed in self-feeder and can be supplemented by various slaughter house, bakery, or table by-products, etc A by-product to be economical should be fairly concentrated, should be moderate in price per 100 pounds of nutrients. and should be fresh and free from taint. During the winter, leguminous hays fed in addition to the concentrate help reduce the cost of production. In the summer, pasture crops such as rape, alfalfa, bur clover, crimson clover, rye. etc. make very economical and efficient supplements for hog feeding. In practically every farming district in the United States cheap and efficient forage and grain crops are available for hog production. These should be diligently studied by the farmer, with the aid of the state and federal forces, and used in the most profitable manner.
 The selffeeder is greatly reducing the labor cost in hog production. and the principles governing it's use should become a part of every hog growers equipment It is especially useful in feeding. growing, fattening stock which is the largest part of hog pro duction on most farms.
 Diseases and Parasites.
 The prevention and cure of disease are always more readily accomplished where cleanliness and sunshine pre- vail. Probably the commonest and worst troubles of hogs are hog cholera, internal parasites, and lice. The farm CT should make thorough study of the methods of preventing and treat ing these troubles. This study should

those caused by disease, by providing proper shelter for the SOW at farrowing time. In the South this shelter can be constructed very cheaply, and even in the North it can be provided in most cases at a moderate cost. The farmer should always be present at farrowing time. but should not interfere with the SOW unless necessity calls for his as- sistance. The raiser should always cultivate the confidence of his animals by quiet and humane handling; this care and attention in times of neces- sity will pay big returns. The pigs upon arrival should be rubbed dry with a gunny sack and quietly removed to a place of safety. For this purpose 1t is we'll to provide a covered basket or hamper containing gunny sacks In cold, damp weather 1t may be well to warm brick. wrap 1t in gunny sack, and place it in the basket to warm up the new arrivals. If the SOW Is very long in farrowing. it may be well after two or three hours to place the little pigs carefully and quietly where they can get some nourishment and then

Life is one long competition, and the quicker we realize it the sooner we will fit ourselves for the struggles. There is no position for which there is not more than one aspirant If the place we want were not desirable we would not want it. And we should know that if it seems desirable in our eyes it certainly must seem so in oth. CT eyes.

From the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 The low prices received for hogs dur ing to some of the hog raisers of the country. The hog should be a paying animal. He requires less labor, less equipment, less capital. makes greater gains on 100 pounds of concentrates, reproduces himself faster and in great CT numbers, and returns the money faster than any other farm animal. The fact remains, however, that prices paid for hogs are low and discourag- ing In spite of these prices the ami nal that possesses the above advan- tages can still lift mortgages for his owner if the latter will study and apply some of the fundamental principles un- deriving the business.
 To begin with, the best can be made of poor market by having the hogs ready at the time when they are most wanted by that market. This normal ly occurs during the spring and again during early fall. The September and October market is usually the highest. How can the farmer take advantage of these facts to the greatest degree? In the first place, the hog wanted by the market usually runs between 17o and 225 pounds. Fortunately this is the most economical weight at which to dispose of the hog. Up to this point his gains are made very cheaply. Be yond 300 pounds it is doubtful if un- der general conditions feeding can be made a profitable business. The hog, if properly fed, can readily be put upon the market at POO pounds in six or sev- en months. Therefore have the pigs for the September market dropped in the latter part of February or during March. This will require that the breeding of the sows begin about the latter part of October or November first, continuing. if necessary, during the first week in December. The pigs for the April market should be dropped in early September. These pigs can then be weaned before the November breeding season starts. To have the DlSS uIOpptu III CtpiCihbCi IL "Aii pN necessary to breed the sows during May or early June. Under certain con dtions it may be impossible to bring hogs to the 200-pound mark at six months; however. a great effort should be made to attain this goal, as time means money, and the longer hogs are held the greater will be the labor and overhead charges. The cost of feed for maintenance also will be in creased.
 Breeding. Farrowing. Weaning.
 On the average farm there should be radical improvement in breeding and the care of details during farrowing, weaning, etc. There are many com plaints throughout the country either of small filters or else a great mortal ity in pigs. By keeping the production records of sows and selecting from those that produce and raise large av- craze filters breeder can raise to its most efficient point the size of his lit ters. This probably runs between sey- en and eight to the litter. The hog raiser can prevent losses, other than

Sir Stanley Buckmaster will be bet ter paid for his services than his predecessors under the Plantagenets, when. according to MT. J. B. Carter's History of English Legal Institu- tions," the chancellor ranked as a humble parsonage.
