FEEDING Pius by Machinery.

A hogmeter is not a motor-hog 4;
II Is a pig self-feeder. Two of these
ingenious inventions have been tried
by the Western Australian minister for
agriculture on his farm, with eminent
ly satisfactory results.
The machine is a combination Of a
hopper, q grinder, and a delivery plat
form, which has ten divisions. The
ground wheat is equally distributed by
delivery chutes. The shouting instinct
of the pig has been requisitioned to
supply the motive power, the divisions
on the platform being so arranged that
the animal, in trying to snout 1t out
Of the way for more feed, forces the
platform round, thus grinding for itself
more wheat, which falls in the next
and succeeding divisions, and so on.
Ten pigs ear fed at the same time.
There is no waste. The pig does not
crush more than he can eat, and he
cannot possibly eat more than he
brushes.

IMPORTANT PART OF BUILDING
Ceremonies More or Less Elaborate
Generally Accompany Laying Of
Cornerstone.

The United States government puts
up public buildings all over the coun-
try, and q cornerstone is customarily
laid. But there Is no hole in the lat
ter unless it be requested by the local
authorities, or a Masonic body desires
TO conduct a ceremony.
The MasOns take a special interest in
cornerstones. On such an occasion
they appear in full regalia, and a cop
per box is used to hold the articles in
tered. The box is soldered up and
placed inside the cornerstone, which
Is then sealed with cement.
In Europe 1t Is a part Of the busi-
ness Of monarchs Il lay cornerstones.
In this country the services Of a presi-
dent are always in demand for the pur-
pose, if obtalnabie. On a conspicuous
corner in Washington is q cornerstone

POORLY PAID MAIL CARRIERS
Dogs That Bring News From hume
to the Lonely Men In Alaska Get
Little for Work.

There is a good deal Of ak over
the meager pay received by mall car
riers, but the most poorly paid Of Uncle
Sans mail carriers receive far less
than the familiar postman, yet never
make complaint. They get q pound
and a half of dried salmon for a full
days pay.
They are the husky and the Mala-
mute, the native Eskimo and the ma
tive Indian dogs In the great Yukon
country. Without them the gold-seek-
ers, the fur traders, the shOpkeepers
and the mission workers in the interior
of Alaska Except for the more fortu-
nate ones who live along the ines of
the few %railrOads) would receive no
mail from the time the ice forms over
the rivers in October until 1t breaks up
IN May.
Even the most inaccessible of post
onlces receive mail once Il month In
winter Though only one mail is car
ried them, and for those in the interior
Of Alaska the husky and the Malamute
are mail carrier and Santa Claus com
bined. They would be without word
from the outside world fer eight
months every year if it were not for
the mail dogs.
These animals are pushed TO their
utmost by c~onsiderate and cruel driver
alike, for there is a prescribed task for
them every day, and all they got out
OF it is a pound apd a half Of dried
salmon at the end Of the day.
When they are not working their al
lowance of Ash is cut down. In the
summer they are fed on the refuse OF
fresh salmon ut the fishing dumps,
where the mail contractor boards them
out until the rivers freeze again.
