Trees of Known Fame,

The only tree known to have been
planted in memory of Abraham Lin
coin right after his assassination has
been nominated for a place in the
Hall of Fame for "trees with a his
tory" which the American Forestry
Association is compiling. A. S. Bailey
of DEBORAH, Iowa, where the tree now
stands, informed the association that
the tree was planted by one John
Finn, who is still living.
When Abraham Lincoln was assas-
sinated Mr.. Finn was in Chicago and
he returned home much depressed. A
few days later, on April 81, 1865 Gov
ernor Stone of Iowa declared a day
of mourning for Lincoln. Finn went
into the woods and dug up small
blackberry shoot which he transplant
ed on the street in front of his home.
The shoot took root and today is one
of the most magnificent trees in Iowa.
1t is ITO feet high and nearly twelve
feet in circumference to which facts
the American Forestry Association
points as a great lesson in what can
be done in tree planting.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution, the Grand Army of the
Republic and historical societies of
the country are said to be reporting
many other trees with a history to

Make Your Own.

The funny columns have taken it
for granted this long while that the
man who tries to make his own bever-
age at home is certain to concoct eth
ser an explosive mixture that will lift
the house off the cellar or a poisonous
compound that will kill at forty rods.
No doubt there are occasional acct
dents of this kind. But they have not
put an end to experimentation or to
successful and oft-repeated processes.
Was it the governor of Washington
or some other governor of Washing
ton or some other governor who is re-
ported to have said that before the
passage of prohibition they had TWEEN
ty-three breweries in the state, where
as now they had something like 300,-
900 brewers Many man has grown
so expert at the business that he is
spoiled forever for the commercial
product that was once good enough
to his taste, and spends his spare
hours pottering over a delicate pro-
portioning of ingredients and illegal
brewing contrivances. Many a Wo-
man has added beer or some other
drinkable to her list of products to
be bottled and canned They break the
law, OF course, but they have so much
company in doing it, and are SO Sc
cure in their belief that there's moth
ing wrong in mild percentage of al
chohol, that the matter never bothers
their consciences.
The Eighteenth amendment, for all
that, has greatly reduced the amount
of alcohol consumed among us. Drinks
manufactured at home are usually
homeopathic. But to an extent the
effect of prohibition has been to
drive the big breweries out of bust
ness and scatter the work they used
to do among a great many household
ers. Aside from the fact of it's IL
legality there is nothing Objectionable
about homemade beer. 1t doesn't
contain enough alcohol to start
fight, and might well have been ex-
empted in the first place from the ac-
ton of the Volstead law.-New York

Harvey Slattum Says Pork Can Be

Harvey Slattum of New Sweden a

hogs can be profitably fed at the
present time despite the fact that
feed is high, and pork low He not
only makes this assertion, but proves
it with facts and figures, as we'll
The young man had been studying
about the proper method of raising
hogs in Professor Earl Springer's
classes all last winter, and he deter
mined to find out whether or not his
teacher told him the truth. He ask
ed his father this spring if he could
not undertake the feeding of a drove
of hogs. This request was granted,
and Harvey selected Is grade Chester
Whites, narrowed during the middle
of April. On June 9Th he began his
systematic feeding, his hogs weigh
ing an average of 33 pounds each. He
placed a self feeder in their pen, Civ
ing the porkers daily rations of she'll
ed corn, tankage, oil meal, shorts and
skim milk. For 80 days he kept care
full account of every particle of feed,
and his records show that each pig
gained an average of % pounds dur
ing that time.
The following is the tabulated cost,
of feeding the hogs for 80 days, taken
from Harvey's feeding record:
