The climax of masquerade week came on Saturday night when the prize was given to the most comical figure. It was won and well won by William Hanlon, who brought with him a sweet feminine dummy se- curely fastened to his feet. With this dainty creature he danced and shim- rnied in modern fashion to the en- tertainment of the onlookers. A col ored bridal party won great applause too. by their antics.

Dice Gaming Ancient Sport.

Gaming with dice and cards has pre-
vailed from the earliest times. We
do not read of gambling houses In the
classic literature Of Greece. but there
can be no doubt that the vice was very
widely practiced in private houses. In
Rome, under the emperors, gambling
prevailed extensively. Augustus and
most Of the succeeding sovereigns were
passionately fond of the dice, and the
Emperor Claudius wrote a book on the
subject. A Roman would transport
to a gambling resort his whole fortune

after losing all, would even seize the

Success in raising hogs depends on
two things-well-bred stock, both
sows and sires, and proper housing.
Well-bred stock is plentiful, and no
farmer i'm these days of better farm
live stock can afford to breed or raise
scrubs" In every community, eSpe-
cially in the so-called "corn belt"
states, hogs are one Of the principal
farm products, and high-bred, if not
registered purebred sires, are availa-
BILE. With a start Of one or two we'll
bred sows and the service of a pure
bred boar, careful management will
insure a good profit in hog raising.
The second essential-good houses
Is just as available as good breeding
stock. During the last ten or more
years, architects who have made a
careful study of the needs of farm ami
mails have designed, and local con
tractors have erected, thousands OF
buildings-barns, hog houses and
chicken houses-thst provide the live
stock with houses where they can be
kept at the highest state Of productive
ty and in the best of health.
The product that farmers turn into
cash with their hogs is flesh. Both
can be obtained with "scrub" stock,
but the cost is prohibitive. About the
same amount of care will bring a well.

bred young pig to marketable size In
half the time required by a scrub"
and the amount of feed both consume
per day is practically the same.
Before the days of efficient hog
houses, a farmer considered himself
lucky IL half the litter was brought to
maturity. Young pigs are subject to
many diseases and have little stamina
TO withstand them. Pneumonia is one
of them. The pigs that were Uttered
in the early spring and were not
housed in weather-proof, w%ell-venti-
lated and warm quarters had and still
have little chance of reaching ma
turity.
It was with these facts in mind that
the modern hog house was designed.
And in passing II might be said that
no type of farm building has beer
given more attention in the agricul-
tural colleges than hog houses.
The modern hog house is a well
constructed building. 1t usually is set
on a concrete foundation. with a con-
crete floor. The side walls are wealth
er-tight. and the roof is designed so
that a maximum of sunlight can reach
the pens on both sides of the building.
Also some system Of ventilation. either

floors, whether they be Of concrete or
cinders, are covered with heavy
boards, raised slightly above the
ground. On this half floor there is
placed Plenty Of bedding, so that the
young pigs VIII be kept dry-with en-
phasls on "dry"-and warm.
When the farm has such a hog
house, rhe sows farrow in early spring
and again in the fall. which is as ma
ture intended. Late February pigs are

riding at breakneck speed and calling
to Williams that they had found a
yearling steer killed by the wolf
Williams motioned them to go back
but they did not understand what he
meant and he was forced to return to
meet them. Thus he lost the best
chance he ever had of getting the
wolf with t rifle. When he returned
to the trail he found the place where
the wolf had bedded down to sleep.
The noise made by the horsemen had
given it the alarm and it had gone
back down the canyon very close to
the hunter and escaped.
Early, in September the wolf step
ped on trap and was caught slightly
by one foot. Apparently the trap
had tipped so that it caught only one
side of the foot and the wolf was able
to pull loose. He left some hair in
the trap. This happened again in the
early days of October.
Williams finally got the wolf-Oc-
tober IL. Here is his own account Of
it:
"He stepped into trap in the
morning and it got a good grip on
him. He ran with it about $50 yards
when the hook caught in a tree, but
that did not seem to stop him at ALL
He broke the swivel of the trap and
ran on with it on his front foot. l
trailed him three miles and got sh9t
at him and got him. He has been so
lucky that l expected the gun to fail
to shoot, but it worked. He is small
er than the average male wolf, weigh
ed ninety eight pounds, and measured
just six feet from tip to tip. His
teeth would be good for fifteen years
longer. He broke some Of them off
on the trap, but aside from that they
were in good condition. He is an old
wolf with fur that is almost white"
