When a father decided that his son
needed application Of the CAD, he in
formed the boy that punishment was
not far off and went into the yard to
cut a switch, says Indianapolis News.
When he returned the boy was gone.
He searched and did not find. Then
he called his wife and both of them
searched. They searched low but not
high, for if they had cast their eyes
aloft they would have seen that the
boy had climbed a telephone pole and
was safely out of harms way for the
time being. A neighbor spied him and
gave away his whereabouts. The boy
sought compromise, saying he would
come down at declaration of peace
and no sooner. The compromise was
finally effected on the promise that the
next time he needs a whipping he will
get one twice as hard as is needed, to
make up for the one he missed.

FOR AILING PIGS
Breaking Out Of Body Caused by Mar
row Ration High In Protein
Can Be Remedied.

When pigs are fed on a very mar
row ration with high content of pro-
TEN and a limited amount of energy
and fat-forming material, they are
subject to a breaking out of the body
which causes considerable irritation.
This has been noticed when pigs are
turne> on a pasture very rich in pro-
tein, especially when the pigs had
previously been on feed that was
lacking in this content. These pigs
will unquestionably improve if you
will feed a mixture of IL parts of
cornmeal, two parts of shorts and
one part of oil meal along with the
separated milk. Spray these pigs
again with light crude oil and apply
over the worst spots of the body a
mixture of three parts of unsalted
lard and one part of flowers of SUI
phur. >
