healthy and vigorous, it put them in
the best condition to make good gains
from their grain feed.
It pays to feed grain on pasture, for
pasture alone will do little more than
keep up pigs weight. A light to
medium grain ration is usually most
profitable. About two or three pounds
of grain a day is good ration for
shOats weighing eighty to one hundred
pounds. If you have scales, weigh
your pigs occasionally and feed about
three pounds of grain daily for each
100 pounds live weight of hogs.
Good rations for summer feeding are
easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa or
rape pasture, feed corn and little
skim milk. On blue grass or timothy
pasture feed three pounds of skim
milk to each two pounds of corn.
More milk would do no harm. If
skim milk is not at hard, it will pay
to feed Oil meal or tankage with the
corn, where blue grass or timothy pas
ture is used about one part tankage
to eleven parts corn or one part Oil
meal to seven parts corn.

HAPPINESS IS EVER ELUSIVE
And Never Can Be Found Where One
Seeks Only to "Have
Good Time"

Many young people think of little ex-
cept how they can have a good time. If
there is work to do it is only some
thing in their way, to be got rid of as
soon as possible no matter how. They
think they can live as butterfly does
when in it's glory and sip honey every
hour from everything they see.
To find something entertaining, to
be amused, is all that they think Of
This is very natural and it is we'll that
they can look on the bright side of
life. But they should know also that
life is not all a play spell.
There are duties to be performed
and real happiness comes only after
work well done. Happiness is not
found when sought as the chief thing
in life. Entertainments cease to en-
terrain. The brilliant companion does
sterling qualities of character back of
the brilliance. Work is the blessing
of mankind. Play is relished more
after work is done.
There ought to be some earnest pur-
pose, some worthy aim in the heart of
everyone. Live not for the present mo-
ment. Live to be and do. There are
consequences to all our acts. Folly
sown brings bitter harvest which no
one can escape reaping. There are in
nocent joys to which all, especially the
young, are entitled. But it should be
learned that living to some worthy
purpose brings the truest enjoyment

A MEMORABLE ECLIPSE.
When the Sun Was Totally Obscured
In This Country In 1906.

When the Sun Was Totally Obscured
In This Country In 1906.
The most remarkable eclipse of the
sun witnessed in the United States in
the centuries since its discovery took
place on June 16, 1906. There were
eclipses previous and since then, but
that of 1906 is regarded by astrono-
mers as the most memorable of all,
that of Aug. Z, 1862 being the next in
grandeur and interest.
The eclipse of 1906 was to be seen
over all parts of North America. For
tunately the day was a remarkably
fine one, scarcely a cloud being visible
in any part of the heavens. The suns
entire surface was covered at twenty
seven minutes and thirty seconds past
II o'clock.
James FenimOre Cooper, the novel
list, though but youth at the time OF
the eclipse, was so enthusiastic an OBJ
server Of the spectacle that twenty-five
years after the event he wrote a mi
mute account of what he saw and how
he felt during the wonderful occur
renee.
Mr.. Cooper states that as he and
other spectators in his company first
| discerned through their glasses the
oval form of the moon darkening the
suns light an exclamation of delight.
almost triumphant. burst involuntarily
| from the lips OF all. The people began
gathering into the street. Their usual
labOrs were abandoned, and all faces
were turned upward.
The monday heat began to lessen,
and there was something OF the cool
ness of early morning. Mr.. Cooper
| further states that "all living crea-
| lures seemed thrown into state of
| agitation. The birds were futtering
| to and fro in great excitement. They
| seemed to mistrust that this was not
| the gradual approach Of evening and
were undecided in their movements.
Even the dogs became uneasy and
drew nearer to their masters.
Every house now gave up its ten
ants. AS the light failed more and
more with every passing second the
children came focking about their
mothers in terror. The sun appeared
like young moon of three or four
days old. One after the other the
stars came into view, which filled the
spirit with singular sensations"

We have heard from RELIABLE
sources and have read in the Gleh
Flora Star that Assemblyman Miller
has had a bill prepared and will in
troduce the same in the legislature
providing for the creation Of three
towns out of Town 1913 and Town
1914 making each of the three towns
6 by miles.
Of course the people living in the
territory affected are not to be con-
sidered at all. The only thing to do
is to get even" with some people
who did not support Mr.. Miller and
and have no use for his sponsor.
If Vance or his sponsors think they

The Reporter was not concerned
two years ago when the town OF
Lawrence was split in three parts,
in disregard of remonstrance signed
by every voter in that town.
And, if the Reporter cared to be
fair and wished to print the facts, it
would find that the present town d1-

territory affected. In view of the
facts. it doesn't sound well for a

Marvels of Speed and Power.

Nothing afloat, so far as is known,
will approach the new battle cruiser
planned by the United States in the
horse power of their engines, according
to the Army and Navy Journal. The
plans for the cruisers, which are near
ing completion, call for turbine en-
gines which will develop 100000 horse
power.
The largest merchant ships range
from 10000 to $4,000 horse power.
Even the new scout cruisers will ex-
reed any of the merchantmen in the
horse power of their engines.
The scout cruisers will have turbines
with combined force of 10000 horse
power. Both the battle cruisers and
the scout cruisers will have a speed
of approximately 35 knots, or over
40 miles per hour.
