you see we had a great variety of
service.
Along the lake we saw the vine
yards and orchards, but it was moth
ing like those of the Iowa farmers.
We saw many of the noted factories,
such as Welch's grape juice building,
American Locomotive company works,
Heinz pickle factory and other places.
Through New York and Pennsylvania
we went through deep cuts in solid
rock and through tunnels and over
hills Then we rea' he'd the Delaware
river. This was very beautiful. We
followed it down nearly to the coast.
We went through the Delaware gap.
which is considered one of the most
beautiful places.
Coming down the valley it was sure
ly beautiful to see the villages lying
there with the big hills and timber
for a background and with the silver
like river at the bottom. 1t was sure
ly clear for the sandy country. The
solid rock bottom keeps it as clear
as a crystal We went down the river
until it got very large and we were
within twenty-three miles of New
York, but we had to go roundabout
way, which made it about ninety
miles We reached Long Island this
morning and ate our breakfast on the
train We did not see much of New
York City as we went through it dur
ing the night, but | expect to see
more of it later.
Well, mother. l wish ! were home
so could tell you more about the trip.
l expect you had better send this
to Archie because it takes a whole
evening to write it and | wish that
they might have it to read.
Well, | must close for today.
AS ever with love,
Your son,

CANNING DAYS,

The canning days have surely come
That keep the housewife going some
TO cook and stew from morn till night
And see that stuff is put up right
TO fill all jars from base to cover,
TO save the stuff to help out Hoover.
When jars and glasses are all gone.
And her preserving not half done,
She looks about for things to fill.
That she may go on canning still
The shaving mugs and cups galore
Are soon filed up and covered DER
With parafine to keep out air,
And keep the flavor rich and rare.
What sugar costs seems not to matter.
She keeps on stirring up the batter
To make preserves and apple butter,
She does not stop or even stutter.
She does not care how hot the fire,
TO can and can, seems her desire.
She keeps on putting up preserves,
Until it fairly racks your nerves.
While that goes on you wish and wish
That she is filling her last dish,
And that the canning days were DER.
And you'll tmcll cooking fruit no
more.
But after all, what minds the cost,
For when the air is full of frost,
And you sit down to eat your meal
1t makes you grand and glorious feel
TO eat preserves and home made jell.
It's worth the cost as all can tell.
Oh. happy, happy, happy man,
1t makes you glad your wife can can

4Indienities to Hoo.,

An unusual rainfall had injured a con-
siderable portion of the railways roadbed
making traffic impossible, so Atterberry's
hogs had to remain penned en- route on
the FIT. Worth & Denver City Railway
until normal conditions could be restored.
Suit was brought for damages alleged to
have resulted from the delay. and among
the claims was the rather unusual one for
damages asserted to nave been caused by
unloading the hogs into pens which were
full of mud and water, agencies, 1t is
claimed, which are injurious to fat hogs.
10 avoid unnecessary damages therefrom,
Atterbury t%houghtfully hired a man to
herd the hogs on the m which ex-
pense was also charged against the car
rier, and listed In the damages.
Perhaps Atterberry's hogs were brought
up under the theory Of changed environ
ment, whereby they came to look with
contempt upon the habits of common
swine, which wallow in mud and filth;
but, be that as 1t may, the carrier OBJ
jected most ~strenuously to being forced
to pay damages for subjecting the hogs
to such "indignities." and, for that and
other reasons, took this appeal. Ft. Worth
& Denver City Railway Co. v. Atterberry,
1870 Southwestern Reporter, 1888.
Judge Hall delivered the opinion of the
Texas court of civil appeals. and as to the
question of damages from the muddy pens
says: ut is shown that there were sew
eral pens at Childress; that the unloading
pen was dry on account of having slnders
in it. and hat the other pens were muddy;
that with the exception of the unloading
pen the other pens were about two inches
deep in water and mud. Appellee testi-
fled that he did not keep the hogs in the
pens all the time; that he herded them on
the prairies two days, and put them back
in the pens at night. Appellant insists
under this assignment that no injury /.
shown and we ara ino1fnoh m rf,o 1,;a;1.
that this contention is correct. The court
could not judicially know, nor could the
Jury from common knowledge say that
mud and water two inches in depth wa,
injurious or even uncomfortable to hogs
during the summer months. The nature
and we'll known habits of these animals
would indicate that the reverse of the
proposition is true

Getting Rid of Old Tin Cans.

Here is a household hint. presented by a
man to the readers Of the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. He Is interested In his
wife's housekeeping, just as she is inter-
ested in the pictures he paints.
"Out in our backyard, under the plum
tree he begins. I'VE have a large block
of grant. Whenever we empty a tin can
in the house. we rinse it we'll and then I
take it out on this block and flatten it with
one stroke of the sledge hammer, which
we keep standing nearby. The we put
it in q box and, when the box is full,
send it way.
You know how large a box it takes to
hold two dozen cans Of tomatoes. Well.
that will hold nearly q six months supply
OF tin cans. flattened out this way, and 1T
does not take more han a second or two
to smash them flat. Treated in this way,
they cannot hold water, and. as they are
rinsed we'll. they do not attract flies and
do not give out any odor. And, as I say,
they take up so much less room as trash,
which is an item when you live in the
country n do not have your rubbish
collected for you and carted off daily,
