MORE HOGS SHIPPED TO FARMS.

J Washington, Dec. 22.-There has been a large increase this fall in the number of hogs shipped to farms and ranches for breeding and feeding, in stead of being sold for slaughter. This movement of "stockers and feed ers' from the large markets of the country was four times as heavy during October this year as during the same month last year, and for September and October combined the movement was three times heavier this year than last. These hogs that have gone back to farms ana ranches instead of being slaughtered will. of course, increase the pig crop next year. The movement is considered d definite indication of some of the re- suits of the campaigns of the United States department of agriculture. state colleges, and other agencies waged in all the leading hog -produc- ing states with the object of bring ing out the saving of breeding stock this winter.
 Figures of the bureau of markets of the United States department of agri- culture show that from the large markets of the country twith the exception of Chicago and Omaha, from which figures arc not available) 65,210 stocker and feeder hogs were shipped during October this year. while only 14,246 moved from the same markets in October 1916. Dur ing September this year 23,457 stock CTS and feeders were shipped, as compared with 12S79 during Sept ember 1917. This gives a total of SS.667 for September and October this Year and 27,125 for the same period last year.

Gift Bringer In
 Various Countries

VI
 TNHE Dutch girls sing pretty little
 instead of writing, a letter to Santa Claus:
 Santa Claus you good-natured man,
 Give me some nuts and sweetmeats-
 Not too much, not too little.
 Throw them into my apron.
 For a Christmas without gifts would be no Christmas at all. So always there is gift bringer, akin in nature, if different in name, to the good St. Nicholas, once bishop of Myra, who loved children and whose memory lives vitally today through it's association with the great. Christmas festival. Kriss Kringle, Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Sunderkloos, are identical The holy Christ child comes to Germany. In mystical Brittany the Christ him. self is thought to come to bless the households of the pious, especially the homes of simple shepherds. In Spain on Twelfth Night' all the people, young and old, put their shoes and slippers out on the balcony out side the window in order that the three kings journeying by may see and fill them. There are also grotesque Christ mas visitors. Knave Ruprecht, terror of Teutonic babyhood, has a load of nuts and apples and other goodies with him, as we'll as his traditional bunch of switches. :.
 The ''julbok" or "klappeybok," tall, thin beast with goatskin covered head, is after naughty Danish children, just as the ''habersack" is after those in the Hartz mountains. Sunderkloos sends sometimes q goat laden with presents.
 The animals which the saint of Christmas uses for his carriers are quite as various. Donner and Blftzen and the other fleet reindeer come first. Santa drives a span of reindeer in Swe- den. In Alaska he comes by dog team. Cancels, so the story goes, bring the three kings into Spain on their gift bringing errand, though sacred art would show us that horses might be used as we'll historically. : In Holland, on the Zuyder Zee, St. Nicholas comes on skates over the fro zen wastes of water. In England there are in use for Christmas several imita- tion horses, the hobby horses of the Morris dancers, which caper still in Staffordshire, according to their an cient habit.-Chicago Tribune.

The First Christmas Day
Told For the Littlest Children

N ISTEN dear little children, and <you shall hear about the very first
 Christmas day.
 It was in countrM across the sea- far away from here, that some shep- herds were watching Their flocks one night. The sheep were resting on the grass, the little lambs were fast asleep beside their mothers, but the kind shep herds were not asleep. They were watehing~ that no -harsa should happen to the sheep.
 Perhaps they were looking up at the stars and the beautiful moon above them when suddenly there appeared a wonderful light in the sky, brighter than the moon, or stars, as If the sky had opened and they saw the glory within.
 While the shepherds were looking up, wondering what was the cause of that strange light, a beautiful shining angel came near to them and said:
 ''Fear not. bring Xou good tidings which shall he to all people. This day is born Savior, and ye shall find the babe lying in manger.
 And suddenly the angel was joined by a multitude of the heavenly host singing praises to God. This was their song: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth Peace, good will toward men
 When the angels had gone back to heaven the shepherds said they would go to Bethlehem and see this Savior of whom the angels sang.. They went and found him, little baby, in a sta ble, with no cradle to lie in, only a manager for his bed. That little baby was Jesus, who when he grew up said: "Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not, for of such fs the kingdom of heaven." His birthday was the first Christmas day, and ever since that time we kept that day as joyful and happy one.-New York Press.
