(Prspared BY the United States Department.

Two litters Of pigs year from one
SOW is usually practicable, and adds
materially to the success of the farm
project, the United States Department
of Agriculture has demonstrated.
Spring pigs should be farrowed early
in March in order to finish for market
In the early winter. Fall pigs usually
are timed to arrive In September,
which gives them a chance to get well
started before cold weather arrives.
After narrowing and before placing
the pigs with the SOW to nurse, cut
out the eight small tusklike teeth at
the sides Of the mouth. These are
very sharp and might tear the sow's
udder or cause pigs to hurt each other
at nursing time. They can be broken
with bone forceps, wire nippers. or
knife, but should never be pulled out.
As rule the SOW should not be
fed for the first "a hours after far

the Best Results.

The brood sow needs a variety in
her food and exercise. In expert
ments conducted at the North Dakota
Agricultural college under the direc-
tion Of Professor Shepperd it was
found that sows will readily eat alfalfa
hay, and that when this is fed with a
mixture of about half barley and half
shorts at the rate of 211z pounds daily
for 2OO-pound SOW, splendid results
have been secured. Equal parts of
barley, oats and bran or shorts also
makes very good feed Exercise is
also very important. 1t was found
that the best way to give the grain
feed was to sweep the floor clean and
scatter the grain on 1t. This results
In the sows spending hours on their
feet getting their feed. Observations
indicate that sows fed variety Of
foods and given plenty Of exercise are
not likely to produce hairless pigs.

FOR FILLING sILos
Automatic Device Installed at oreoon
College Does Work In Sue
cessfui Manner.

An automatic tamper used in filling
silos has proved successful at the
Oregon Agricultural college. The
tamper Is the first one used in the
state. It is said to increase the ca
pacity of silos packed in the ordinary
way SO per cent. Not only does 1t
pack uniformly, but 1t increases the
keeping qualities through closer pack
ing.
1t works as a small steam, roller
which runs around on top Of the en-
sllage as 1t is fed into the silo. The
operator handles the tamper and the
feeder at the same time, therefore
cost Of operation is not Increased.
The capacity Of the silos at Oregon
Agricultural college was increased
SO 1-3 per cent over the previous rec
ord Of close packing.

That steers can be fed at a profit
this winter is the belief of H. II. Kill
dee Of Iowa State college, formerly
chief Of the dairy husbandry division,
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
There are so per cent less cattle In
Iowa feed lots, he says, than a year
ago. Since fewer farmers are feeding
he believes that meat prices are bound
to be higher III the spring. After re.
marking that feeding is the surest way
to get the greatest margin out Of the
grain crop, he gives this assurance:
"There Is no reason for anxiety ae
this time over the feeder question,

One meal will not satisfy our

These assertions may seem

 How did you trace it, then?"
 He took large sheet of paper from his pocket, all covered with dates and names.
 "I have spent the whole day" said he, lover Lloyd's registers and the files of the old papers, following the future career of every vessel which touched at Pondicherry in January thirty-six ships of fair tonnage which were reported there during those months. Of these, one, the Lone Star, instantly attracted my attention, having cleared from London, the name is that which is given to one of the States of the Union"

 What then?"
 "I searched the Dundee records, and when I found that the bark Lone Star was there in January, 'S5, my suspicion became a certainty. I then inquired as to the vessels which lay at present in the port of London"
 "Yes?'
 'aThe Lone Star had arrived here last week. I went down to the Albert Dock, and found that she had been taken down the river by the early tide this morning, homeward bound to Savannah. I wired to GraWesend, and learned that she had passed some time ago; anad as the wind is easterly I have no doubt that she is now past the Goodwins, and not very far from the Isle of Wight
 What will you do, then?"

BEAUTY CHATS
MANICURE DIRECTIONS
By EDNA KENT FORBES.


 In answer to S. J. and several other readers who have written for the in formation, I would like to make few suggestions about the best meth ods of manicuring. ~
 First of all, learn to take care of your hands so they do not need an elaborate manicure more than once every week or so. You probably know how to do this already. After the hands are washed and while the skin it still soft from the water, push back the culticule around each nail with the end of an orange wood stick. It is an excellent idea to keep an orange wood stick on the bathroom shelf, then it is always handy and you are not apt to neglect this treat nent-for the good appearance of the nails depends greatly upon the way the cuttic1e is kept, and this method will give a smooth finish to the nails and will do much to prevent hang nails.
 The next important thing is the shape of the ends of the nails. 1 think it is a good idea to shape the nails every day by going over them with a, strip of punice board This will keep them from getting too long and. will always give that fresh ap- pearance that follows a professional manicure.
 The third most important thing is the polishing of-the nails. A good polish will cover up multitude Of manicurng defects. although you should not depend upon a high polish to cover up unsightly nails. Polish ing is very good for the nails because it stimulates the circulation of the blood around the finger tips. Some manicurists even say that a good daily buf1ing of the nails will help to ward off the unsightly ridges that are a sign of age.
 Another good thing to rememper is that the nails need a certain amount of artificial nourishment, especially if you do manual work. Both olive oil and cocoa butter are very good to rub into each nail.
 Curly Head-As it is easier to pre- vent freckles than to cure them, the best advice I can give you is to rub your skin full of cold cream and to use quite a littlep owder before going out into the wind and sun.
 A. J.-Many of my readers have found that a daily massage of the bust with a piece of ice is an excel lent method of reduction.

CHAPTER CCXV.

CHAPTER CCHN.
 When Jim didn't come back to town on the second day after our visit to Betty and Terry. I began to worry about Terry's stock.
 Because I thought some member of the Harrison family ought to watch over Terry'S investment, I bought paper, turned to the financial page and ran my finger down the list until I found the stock Jim had told him to buy. There it was, with four columns of figures next to it, and the figures that told it's story for the day: Opening, B F; high, S6; low, 29; closing, 29 A.''
 Closing my eyes, I did a little fig uring. Jim had told Terry to buy at the opening the day before and had he still was perfectly safe on his 3-point margin, even if the stock had fallen below what he paid for it. If it fell any more tomorrow Jim would be there to put up more margin for Terry.
 That seemed all clear enough. So I went in to take off my hat and coat and freshen up for dinner But I couldn't dismiss Terry from my mind. I kept hearing him say:
 Jimmie, do you know of a sure thing? The little Missis needs a trip. They've done about all they know here, and I'm by way of thinking if she had a change she might pull her 
 Dear Terry! What anxiety there had been in his voice. How he longed to have his proud, tortured Betty whole again! And to think, a little stock deal-co1d figures, what would once have considered a dry as-dust financial transaction-hligh ght give Betty back the use of her right hand! Something, made me go to the telephone and call Terry. You aren't uneasy about your stock, are your" I asked after I had inquired about Betty.
 Mot a bit!'' replied Terry hearti- ly. 'It's on the rise again, and though when it went to the lowest 29-it just wiped out my margin, Pm sure old Jimmie put up a bit and carried me. So that's all right I did some rapid mental arithme- tic. If he had bought at 31, as Jim had said, 29 wouldn't have wiped out a fve-poiht margin. What had he paid? What must he have paid? |?
 What did you pay, Terry?" I asked.
 'I got my formal slip this morn ing informing me that Harrison, l West & Go. had bought for my ac- count and risk 100 shares at 34,'' re- piled Terry. Guess the old stock went up bit before West could

 Suppose Dick West hadn't put up more margin and the brokers had sold Terry out Perhaps his five point margin just covered a five point drop. I didn't know. I called the office, but it was closed. Then I tried Dick West at his hotel. but he was out and not expected in till late. I began pacing up and down in nervous uncertainty. Then I thought of our neighbor, Lane Cosby. He would know He could explain.
 Without stopping to reconsider, I hurried out to the elevator and up to the Cosbys. MT. Cosby was in kind and obiging on the part of Fate. I found him mapping in a big wing chair and in his den and he numbered up cheerfully to serve me. Rapidly I poured out my story with out, of course, telling whose invest ment it was that worried me so.
 Let's see; let's see.' rumbIed Lane Cosby. 'I'H just fish up a special paper I have here and then we'll see what your stock did yesterday
 
 ing he'd tell me whether a five point drop wiped out a five point margin instead of fussing with financial jour nals. And as I looked something went click in my brain-the finan- cial paper gave the price of the stock by hours.
 It had been 31 at ten as Jim had said; S11s at eleven; 32 at twelve. And it hadn't reached 34-the price Dick West had charged Terry-unti1 one o'clock.
 Suddenly I knew what had been bothering me. It was. suspicion suspicion born of my instructive dis like of Dick West, my resentment of his treatment of Phoebe, my aversion for his sharp, close set eyes. .
 Had Dick West bought Terry's stock at ten o'clock, paying 31 to other brokers and charging Terry 34 :? That meant $500 profit made by cheating Terry. Had my husbands partner stopped to that? And what would become of that money? Would | it go down to the credit of Harrison West while Terry, who trusted Jim absolutely, lost his $500, so that the firm could make such a profit? The room seemed to rock under my | feet.
