Gloomy Russian Writers.

According to Charles Gray Shaw In
the North American Review. Russian
fiction Is not gloomy so much because
1t represents actual Russian conditions
but because Russian writer's are BY
nature gloomy. At least that he be.

subject Of his article, for he says:
1T is a terrible thing to fail into
the hands Of the living God, but that
is what happened to Fydor DostoieV.

Cool the Milk.

New England dairy ymen need no special
education to realize that milk properly
cooled and kept cool is likely to reach
the market In better condition than that
indifferently handled. As one authority
says, farmers have good chance here to
"turn cold into gold" 1t 10 commonly
accepted that milk and cream should be
cooled to 80 degrees or lower. As .
rule, ice is necessary to do this effective
". II ice 10 not available, then one
should use the coolest water 1t Is pos
sible to obtain. Never use water that
has been warmed by running over the
ground or by standing IN tanks. Use IL
direct from the we'll or spring unless .
colder source is available. 1t Is . good
idea to arrange for running water 10 .
tank or storage tank. Some dairymen
plan their equipment 90 that all water
pumped for farm lstock passes first
through the cooling tank. Az to the
size OF the tank, authorities say that best
results are secured where three gallons
water are allowed for each gallon milk.
This is where ice 10 used,- and II it is not
used then double the capacity of the
tank is advisable. Cans should sit In
the tank on . rack 80 that the water can
circulate under them. Now that hot
weather is again ahead Of rs, dairymen
will remember that Immediate cooling
of milk and keeping 1t cool 10 dollars
and cents In their pocket, since the re-
turn OF few cans of sour milk cuts

1hese Ships Laid Up.

"A Dutch East Indian cannot help
smiling when he finds fear expressed
that the German and Austrian ships In
East Indian harbors might run out
to sea as raiders" said a Hollander
who Is in New York on business.
"Forty steamships fed into our har.

burg American line and the Orsowa, an
Austrian boat from Fiume.
"These ships will require no more
watching because Of the luxuriant
growth Of shell and coral. The steam.
ships must now be covered with q
layer Of coral and shell from thirty
to forty inches thick. About two
years ago attempts were made to move
the Won Reist, but no greater speed

a cup Of tea. Some Of the guests per.
mitted their little boys to 60 over to
Mrs. McPherson's to play while the
mammas were gone. When the
Hooverized function was well under
way there was a knock at the door
and Master Mcpherson inquired
whether "Miss" Gregg was there.
Better come over to our house and
get Jack, for he's awful SICK" was his
announcement.
Mrs. Gregg seized her wraps and
made bee line to rescue Jack. A

There was another violin number,

Mrs. Wrong also dashed forth to
give succor to her offspring. She. too.
returned after a while, and seemed
rather put out. She forestalled the
impending questions by announcing:
"Cigarettesl I'll finish the treatment
later"
Mrs. Wagner had Just finished re-
heeling a sock and the function was
about to close when the telephone
rang again, and Mrs. Redough was
summoned. 1t was her husband.
"Now don't you tell me that you
have been smoking cigarettes and are

management of Boar and Brood Sow.

professor L. 8. Corbett, Head Department of
Animal Industry
In lecture recently which was both
interesting and timely, Professor Corbett
told of the pressing need for increased
production of pork, and the particular
attention which should be given the
breeding stock at this time. he said In
part: "The United States Food Admins
tration is urging the farmers OF the
country to produce more pork. Last
year the hog production of the United
States was per cent short. The de.
mand for meat and fats from the Allies
is enormous. 1t 10 necessary that the
United States increase It's hog produc.
ton at least 15 per cent over normal
production. This means 23 per cent In.
crease over last years production.
Certain of the states have been asked
to increase their hog population as much
ss so per cent. Although the state of
Maine is not primarily . hog raising
state, our farmers can help out the ma
tional situation to an appreciable extent.
The hog ia the most economical pro-
ducer of flesh and fat of any OF our farm
animals. They make the quickest re-
turn for the feed consumed and there
fore have been resorted to In this at.
tempt to partially relieve tho tremen-
dous shortage OF meats and fats.
The care Of breeding hogs calls for
especial attention. In many cases In
adequate care IL the sole answer for lack
OF success. The farmer keeping small
number Of hogs 10 very apt to neglect to
give them the proper care.
Breeding animals, whether male or
female, should be provided with suitable
feed 80 that they viii be kept In Q
thrifty and growing condition, They
must not be allowed to fatten. The fat

all animals, especially breeding stock.
II 10 often difficult to induce swine to
exercise. II necessary, shut them from
the house during the middle OF the day.
Feed them on the side of the yard op-
posite the house. - /,
A dry, well.ventilated house should be
provided. Bedding should be supplied
often and In small quantities. When
largo amounts are thrown In, much Of II
10 wasted. Sows.with small pigs should
not be bedded with large amounts Of
coarse straw - tho pigs are liable to be-
come entapgled In the straw and be
crushed under the SOW.
All hogs, especially breeders, should
be kept free OF lice. The parasites live
on the blood OF tho infected animals and
cause an unthrifty and emsciated condi-
tion. This lowers the vitality 20 that
the animals have very little resistance to
disease. Crude oil rubbed on the heads
and behind the cars will usually rid the
hogs of all lice. y
