PROPER CARE OF YOUNG PIGS
First Thing to Be Done Is to Cut on
Four Sharp, Hard Tusks-
Never Pull Them.

Soon after pigs are born, the four
sharp, hard tusks, two in the upper
and two in the lower jaws should be
cut off. Take pair Of nippers and
cut the teeth off, but not too near the
gums. Often these tuslzs cut the sow's
teats, make them sore and she will
not let the pigs suck. Then, also, the
pigs cut themselves with those tusks,
and sometimes stick them through
their tongue cannot suck, and starve.
They cause sore mouth. They are soft
and easily removed.
A pair T. sharp scissors will cut
them easily but under no circumstan-
ces should they be pulled out. If it is
seen that pig is getting too fat, it is
evidence that it is robbing it's mates
To prevent this, take a sharp knife
and cut it's rooter in two or three
places, deep enough to make 1t sore:
and it will stop taking more than its
share.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITS
onJv About q or S Per Cent Of Live
Stock Is Purebred and Demand
Steadily Growing.

There are many opportunities for
good profits in the breeding of pure
bred live stock. When it is consid-
cred that only about or 5 per cent Of
all our stock is purebred and that
the demand for better stock is steadi-
" growing it must be clear that there
is still room for capable men with
love for live stock to make breeding
a profitable business. But the man
who is not prepared either through
training or inclination to devote
large part of his time to the care and
MANAGEMENT Of his stock is surely
making q mistake to engage in the
purebred business.

Held to All Superstitions.

When the first missionaries visited
larsovan, Turkey, The old Armenian
church members were Christians In lit
tie more than name. Their beliefs
were a mixture of superstitions with
Il suggestion of Christian origin.
They feared the evil eye, and wore
charms to break it's power. They put
branches Of a thorny plant over their
chimneys in the form Of cross to
prevent witches from coming down
and strangling their little children.
They visited the graves Of saints and
offered prayers for relief from sick
ness, tying rag on a bush nearby
with the hope of returning home leav-
ing their disease tied to the holy spot.

WORRIED OVER 0LDH. c. OIL.
How One Man Many Years Ago
Worked Out a "soIution" Of
Present-Day Problem.

It is a curious fact that the high
cost of living seems to have been a
topic of conversation from the time
when the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary. Every age produces
alike it's lamentations and it's theoreti-
cal solutions of this problem. But few
men have been so ingenious as to
classify all the causes under ~ head
ings, as did the anonymous author Of
entitled: IAN Attempt to Discover the
Cause of the DEAFNESS of Provisions
and High Price of Labor in England"
According to this analyst, the causes
reduce themselves to the following:
The enormous size of the metropolis,
monopoly, sample markets for grain,
large farms, blowing with horses in
stead of oxen, post chafses and flying
stages, expectation Of grain, taxes on
necessities, tithes, public funds, in
crease Of money and rapid fortunes,
decrease Of industry among women,
the want Of a better plan for the
militia, the want of proper poor laws.
= Many Of his items appear familiar
to us today. Some Of them, indeed,
are our own pet reasons for the high
cost of living. But what on earth had
blowing with horses to do with the
case? Or, for that matter, post chaises
and rapid communication by means
Of stage coaches? Perhaps, however,
in another 40 years some Of our eH-
plantations may seem equally, ridicu'

it never gets one anywhere. What

A scarcely perceptible shadow
crossed the womans face, but she
smiled sweetly just the same, hoping
to remove any sting as she answered
Joe Barton-prosy, thrifty Joe, whom
she had been refusing regularly since
her pinafore days.

but I wouldn't marry the best man on

Barton, sensing his usual dismissal,
lighted his cigar and went out.
The expression on Hannah Saw

she opened the door Of David Pow

his bedside; but it changed quickly TIC

moaning in delirium and burning with

losing, why T."
The look Of pain which took pos
session of Hannah's honest face
stopped the other woman's sentence
in midair, but she went on resolutely,
determined to get David away at any
cost.
"Of course, Miss Sawyer, since
you've been so kind to David, I'll be
pleased to have you go home with US
to visit, but I'm a pretty fair nurse
myself"
Hannah was quite unmoved by this
thrust and went about arranging to
be away from her boarding house for
time. When David was able to be
removed in an ambulance to Mrs.
Compton's comfortable place outside
the city Hannah Sawyer went with
them.

sister but the room in which re lay.
That night Hannah packed her suit

house without even announcing her
departure.
She dreaded the question which she
felt was sure to come from her little
family of boarders, especially Joe Bar
ton, but she braved the storm and ap-

though she had been away only over

Samuel J. TiIdens "Barrel."

Samuel J. Tilden was the first pres
idential candidate who used an i'm
moderate amount of money. He was
the wealthiest nominee that either
party ever had, "Girard'' writes in the
Philadelphia Press.
During his campaign "Sammy's bar
rel" was big issue. It was then that
''barrel" came to have sinister mean
ing and referred of course to barrel
Of cash for political purposes.
It seems probable that Tilden spent
more Of his own money to be elected
president than was spent out Of the
pockets Of all the presidents since his
time. ~.
