WINTER SHELTER FOR SWINE
Farmer Cannot Expect to Realize Big
Profit From Animals Exposed
to Rain and Cold.

The time IS past when we can ex-
pect to leave our hogs unsheltered
during the late fall and early winter
rains and expect to realize the best
results from feeding them. The thick
layers Of fat may be protection but
they are no insurance against pneu-
nolia and kindred ailments. The hog
is not protected by thick coat Of
hair as are the other animals and he
is more in contact with the damp cold
soil underfoot.

troubles, torpid liver and the depress-
ed feeling that accompanies such dis

digestion or nervous dyspepsia and
liver trouble, coming up Of food, pal
pttation Of heart, and many other
symptoms. A few doses Of August

Some Grain Is Essential In Addition to
Forage in Fattening Lambs for

there is always the danger of leaving
behind few which have strayed from
the main flock. To avoid this trouble,
fence off "sheep tight" a plot Of two
or three acres. In this plot grow
forage to be used gradually to accus'
tom the lambs to their regular forage
in the larger field. This plan will he
found very convenient.
The lambs will eat the lower blades
,o of the corn and will learn to eat the
"down" corn. However, they will not
become troublesome by breaking down
the stalks in order to get to the ears
If sufficient food is provided. If it is
desirable to pasture off the grain In.
stead of husking out the corn, 1t will
be necessary for best results to break
the stalks for the lambs. Just enough
stalks should be broken each day to
furnish grain to satisfy the lambs. II
too much is broken down at one time
it will be wasted.
"No one ever made sheep fat by
bered that as the fall season advances,
feed becomes scarce and unpalatabIe.
If the lambs are to be marketed as
tat lambs they should not be forced
to remain in the cornfeld too long
without some additional feed. This Is
particularly true where rape Is not
available. It is necessary about
November I to begin feeding soEae
grain in addition to the forage. Many
feeders also feed hay at this time, CIV
ing the lambs each evening as much
as they will eat before morning. A
few of the larger feeders begin feed
ing corn silage about November l..
As much silage as the lambs will eat
up clean in about an hour, is the right
amount to feed both morning and eve.

Provide plenty Of salt and good wa
ter. Shed or barn shelter Is not alb
solutely necessary, but it is advisable
to have shelter to protect the lambs

MYSTERIOUS Theft Of Diamonds.

Precious stones, worth almost $780,
OOO, in transit between London and
Ceylon, have disappeared. This is said
to be the biggest robbery Of its kind
between London and the East, though
there have been many greater between
other places. The famous pearl neck
lace case between London and Paris of
a few years ago, in which the pearls
were replaced by Jumps Of sugar, In
volved an amount Of $4,000.
There is remarkable resemblance
between this case and that on the
Nagoya, which occurred last July. On
that occasion diamonds worth $25O,OOO
were stolen from the vessel in transit

TOAD is FRIEND OF FARMER
They Are Useful Guardians Of Grow
ing Plants and Vegetables
Devour Many Insects

Despite Its general unpopularity,
the toad Is harmless, interesting and
valuable creature. While the toad Is
often thought to be poisonous, the
fluid which comes from gland behind
its eye Is not harmful to human beings
unless it comes in contact with ten
der part of the body, such as the eye
or lip. Toads change their skin peri
odically by splitting the old skin down
the back, peeling 1t Off like jersey
and swallowing 1t. They are also use
full guardians Of growing plants and
vegetables since they eat all sorts of
Insects. Their chief weapon against
their enemy. the snake, is their ability
to initiate their bodies to twice their
normal size. thus making 1t difficult
for snakes to swallow them.
