Mix the lime, salt and sulphur thor
otghly and then mix with the charcoal
and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in
one quart Of hot water and sprinkle
the solution over the whole mass, mix
ing 1t thoroughly. Keep some Of this
mixture In a box before the hogs at
all times, or place In a self-feeder.
Dry s0ws can be placed In pasture
by themselves and given very little
grain. Those which show an excep-
tionally rundown condition from suck
ling their pigs should be. separated
from the rest Of the herd and fed grain
until they regain breeding condition.
Where pastures are very luxuriant it
Is possible to carry breeding sows on
pasture alone, but in such case their
condition must be studied closely by
the breeder, In order to be sure that
they are receiving enough nourishment
from the pasture. Hogs require .atten-
lion regardless of condition, age or sex,
but the management Of the brood sows
Is the surest test of the breeders skill.
Age Of Breeding.
The age at which a young SOW is
first bred will depend upon her devel-
opment, but 1t Is seldom advisable to
breed her before she is eight months
old A very young SOW seldom pro-
iuces large litter. Another objection

play an important part in the present

If the feeding and management are not

sUlders Ride on FLEA

There is an aspect Of spider and fly
relations which fabulists and natural
lists alike have overlooked. A CORE
spondent who has brought the micro
scope to bear on many housefies, finds
that the parasite upon that hateful in
sect is often an immature spider, says
the London Chronicle. Too weak yet
to spin its web, 1t makes the fly itf
winged palfrey, and courses from place
to place at the will Of its captive; Ell.
Their until Pegasus perishes naturally,
or, presumably, until the rider is able
to make meal of his charger. This,
If confirmed, seems to carry us a step
farther in the study of parasitism and
eommensalism.

SAUSAGE MAKERS nspsr.ss.

An old story which is being revived
nowadays concerns two rival sausage
makers. They lived on opposite sides
Of a certain street In London, and one
day one of them placed over his shop
the legend, I'VE sell sausages to the
gentry and nobility Of the country"
The next day, over the way, appeared
the sign, 1--WE sell sausages to the gen.
try and nobility of the whole coun-
try" Not to be outdone, the rival put
up what he evidently regarded as q
final statement, namely: "We sell sau-
sages to the king" Next day there
appeared over the door Of the first
sausage maker the simple expression
of loyalty, "God save the king"

RUST WEARS OUT MACHINERY
Cost Of Farm Implements Can Be Re-
duced by Making Every Tool
Last Much Longer.

The price Of farm machinery has
been advancing for some time. The
cost can be reduced BY making every
machine last longer. A large propor-
ton of farm machinery wears out too
soon because II Is not given proper
care and attention. More machinery
is worn away every year by rust and
weather than by service. The life OF
any machine may be heightened by
protection from weather, good lubrica-
ton, and prompt attention to repairs.
Farm machinery frequently is left
standing in the field throughout the
winter. Housing not only protects the
implements from rust but leaves them
In good condition for nse the follow
ing season.

ItaIx,a Aerial rramwaxs.

Before the war the aerial tramwny
was utilized In various parts of the
world for transporting materials across
chasms and up mountain sides, but II
remained for the Italians to adapt II
to their necessity of negotiating the
sheer heights in Alpine warfare, ac-
cording to the National Geographic
Magazine. A young engineer of Milan
is credited with having first suggested
its present use, but it seems to have
exceeded In usefulness his widest
dreams. Few facts have been given
out concerning the extent of the sys-
tenn, but when this war is over thrill
ing tale of engineering feats in its con-
struction will remain to be told.

HaiIstorm Insurance In Germany

Hailstorm insurance is more extern
sively carried on in Germany than In
any other country. During the last
As years the German hail insurance
companies have collected the enormous
sum of liza, 100000 marks (mark-
2S.8 cents), In premiums, and have
paid out 9O2, $4,000 marks in indemni-
ties. During the year 1915 the COM
panies realized a profit Of 7,999,975
marks, which was much In excess Of
their average earnings, and the busi-
ness Of the year showed an increase
in insured values of 4O4, 100000 marks.

Tennyson wore the same hat year

green with age. How long exactly he
had had this hat nobody seems to
know. His Inverness cloak was not
quite so ancient, but had long since
seen its best days. The great poet
was scrupulously clean in his person,
but he would not part with his old
