Portuguese City of Macao Has Long
Been Known as the Monte Carlo
of ens Orient

Macao is said to be the most pros
porous bit OF Portuguese territory in
the world. 1t is the famous Monte
Carlo of the Orient" where gambling
and a considerable opium traffic have
their headquarters. Roth these vices
are ones to which the Chinese are par
ticularly addicted. and Macao has be-
come a great resort for the Weather
Chinese natives.
1t lies on a sandy peninsula. half
way on the trip between Hongkong
and Canton. The Portuguese acquired
It in the olden time when they were
the most daring explorers and traders
in the world. Their descendants live
there still, bur they have mingled and
intermarried with the Chinese until
what amounts to new race has been
produced in the native-born Portuguese
colony in Macao.
Macao is a prosperous city, as most
capitals of the god Of chance are won't
to be. Various gambling games are
played, but the favorite is fan-tan. over
which the Chinaman can develop an
apparently disproportionate amount Of
excitement. In fan-tan, a number of
coins or counters are hidden under a
bowl, and the players bet on how many
viii be left when the coins have been
counted off In fours. Simplicity can go
no farther, but il is possible to lose
as much money over this primitive
form of gambling as over the most

! have friend-a young SiX-foOt Of
ficer, powerful as a horse-at one of
the environments in the far South, who
has way of showing his men the need
for individual responsibility, Edward
Hungerford writes in Everybody's
Magazine.
1t is his practice to skirmlsh around
the camp late at night and approach
the sentries, giving careless, indiffer-
emf, casually friendly replies to their
challenges. The sentry in his happy
go-lucky back country fashion, feels
that the stranger is not merely a
friend, but of the cantonment. Then
200 pounds of Drawn and muscle
land upon him; he feels an awful
blow in the pit of the stomach; his
gun is taken away from him, and he
finds himself sprawling on the ground.
AS soon as he can get his breath he
looks at his attacker and begins:
"What the"
Exactly so,"' interrupts the officer.

BEST FEED FOR YOUNG PIGS
When Little Animals Begin to Nose
Around for Something to Eat Sup
ply ShelIed Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
met of Agriculture)
One of the best feeds for young pigs
Is shelled corn. When pigs are about
three weeks old, sometimes less, they
begin to nose around for something to
eat, and at this time, in order to make
them gain more rapidly, shelled corn
should be supplied.
1t should be in a self-feeder in a pen
where the pigs can go to it and will
not be bothered by any Of the rest of
the hogs This can be arranged by a
creep just large enough to admit the
pigs handily. Don't forget that these
little fellows grow quite rapidly and
from time TO time the creep must be
made larger.
After the pigs are four or five weeks
old, especially if they do not have good
grass pasture. the addition of some
shorts, tankage or oil meal is advisa-
BILE. Nothing would be better, how
ever, than skinned milk.
The self-feeder In which is kept corn
and other feeds should be maintained
right along until weaving time, and
after that if the pig is intended for
market purposes. Pigs to be used for
breeding purposes may be kept on a
seIf-feeder all the time with splendid
results, but in some cases they get too
fat and logy and do not take the prop
er exercise. The most profitable pig Is
the one that never quits growing from
narrowing time until he is driven over
the scales.

Every minister, priest, and rabbi in
the United States is to be asked to
join in the campaign that aims to in

every farm product.
The United States department of ag-
riculture, through the states relations
service and by cooperation with the
federal council of churches is sending
a special letter to all preachers asking
their assistance in the foOd-pro6Sction
campaign. The preachers are being
asked to get In touch with county
agents and with the state extension
service, which represents the state ag-
ricultural college and the United States
department Of agriculture, and to de-
vote as much time as possible to en-
tightening their people regarding tho
necessity of local food production.
They are being furnished with data re-
garding the great burdens upon the
transportation system of the country,
and, In sections where the food pro-
duction Is insufficient for local needs,
a special message is being sent to urge
increased production to meet local de-
mands.

O'Reilly shifted it joyfully.

the place afforded, and Senior Carbajal
was the most attentive of hosts.
He evinced an unusual interest in
the affairs of his American guest, and
soon developed habit of popping into
the Iatter's room at unexpected mo-
