The Oldest livinu Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe is the shellfish, known as the

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-Good
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in a small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray GatewOOd. in
structor in animal husbandry in the
agricultural college.
"The problem of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood. 'is more difficult to solve
in winter than in any other season of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept off the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on a field
which is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
fields in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be-
cause hogs are likely to remain in
their sheds too much in the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take certain amount of ex-
ercise."

Mr. Bowser got out Of bed on Mon
day morning, after his third call to
breakfast, and proceeded to dress.
When he reached as far as his socks
they were not in sight. He did not
rush to the hall and call for Mrs. Bow
ser to come up on the gallop ana eX-
plain matters. He looked around him
until he found one of them on his foot
and the other crushed into his shoe.
He had trouble in finding his collar and
necktie. and his watch had somehow
worked under his dresser, but he didn't
make a kick-nOt a single kick. He
ate breakfast without n kick and, us
he walked up the street on his way to
the office, he smiled blandly at an old
horse limping down the street.
Mr.. Bowser didn't kick when he
came home. He didn't kick through
out the evening. He was as peaceful
as pumpkin growing under the July
sun.
Tuesday morning he had the same
difficulty in finding his clothes to dress.
One shoe had gotten into the closet,
where he had thrown 1t during the
night ut gnawing mouse, and ii took
ten minutes to remember Ii. The but
ton had come out of his shirt collar
and 1t took ten minutes more to find
it asleep in bed. Not one kick. Not
one swear word. Mrs. Bowser limited
that they would soon need more coal
| for the kitchen range, but that did not
disturb Mr.. Bowser's placidity in the
| least.
And. walking up to the corner, he
shook hands with three or four men
whom he hardly knew and told an old
woman that the war would soon be
over and everybody would be rich. If
a lonely old mule had come along and
| brayed in Mr.. BOwser's ear he would
not have raised riot.
Tuesday evening ut dinner Mrs. Bow
ser timidly mentioned that she wanted
| to do some house cleaning next day
and that she would get up in the morn

her breath waiting for Mr.. BOwser tC

The winter months are always rainy

unite in efforts to get rid Of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
tanned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities. In cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, In 1904. at
Folkestone, England, a town Of about
$4,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, In three
days killed 1,645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count In the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, O., a rat hunt took place
some years ago In which each Of the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving banquet to
the winners.
There is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long in
tervals of indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period OF
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bOunties, because they
secure a friendly rivalry which stim-
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and some Of its colonies
