Everyday Adventures

That's what you call service
When you grow completely tired of
the room you've been renting, tired
of the wall paper and the pictures
and the lady, and you feel as
though you won't be able to get
through the coming winter, unless
you can ''get away from it ALL
And so you ask one of your friends
who is a ''roomer" if there is a
vacancy in the house where he
lives, and he says, "Yes, and there
will be another one as soon as l
can find somewhere to move
And then you stop in at some
houses that have Rooms to Rent"
signs on them, but the rooms turn
out to be about as bright and
CHEEKY as telephone booths
And you're just about at the end
of your string when someone asks
you why you don't look in The Pal
ladium Rooms and Board" column
and you do, and it looks like
gold mine to you
Because you find the addresses of
some notwithstanding rooms,
and after looking them over you
find one in a pleasant neighbor-
hood that suits you to a "T''-
Oh. man! That's what you call
service!

both who desired to restrict slavery
and to free the slaves.
There were three great orators in
that day. the most distinguished that
America has ever known-Webster,
Clay and Calhoun. OF the three, Web
ster was renowned for his classic die
ton. his speeches read the best; but
Clay was by far the most effective
with the great masses of the people:
he was the great popular leader"
Mr.. Foulke here read from Carl
Schurz's biography of Henry CLAW the
account of the big Wing convention
in Dayton, where a hundred thousand
people were assembled, and Clay was
nominated for the presidency. From
Dayton he continued his "triumphal'
progress into Indiana and it was in
Richmond that the slavery question
threw its dark shadows across his
path when Mendenhall presented the
petition asking him to free his slaves.
Many Like MendenhaIi
HIS reply was masterpiece of ora
torical skill and the assembled multi
tude was lost in admiration. But in
the presidential campaign which fol
lowed in 1874 there were thousands
OF Mendenhalls to rise as stumbling
blocks to his ambition. The Liberty
party was organized with James G..
Blrney as its candidate Clay was de-
feated, and although a president more
friendly to slavery was chosen in his
place it was the Liberty party which
mad divided the Wings and defeated
him
This party was afterward continued
as the Free Soil party and later form
ed the nucleus of the Republican par
ty, which nominated Abraham Lin
coin, whose election was followed by
the Civil war and the final emancipa-
ton of the slaves.
1t was therefore a very important
event in our country's history which
we commemorate today, and these
memorial tablets, where they perpet-
uate events, not only stimulate our
patriotism but also add greatly to the
attractiveness of the community in
which they are found Boston is a
more attractive city because the
Bunker Hill monument is there and
the Old South church and Faneuil hall
are still preserved
There is an added interest even in

Conditions Point to Good
Profit in Fall Pigs

Indications are that the man who
has planned to raise fall pigs this
season has struck it right. Census
figures and other reports from
corn belt states show a decrease in
the number of hogs. By next
spring and summer when fall pigs
are ready for market the pork
shortage will be pronounced. This
situation accompanied by cheap
feeds mean profit in the fall raised
pigs.
There is no economy in keeping
fall narrowed pigs On light rations.
Their life should be short and the
20O-pound weight reached in not
more than seven or eight months.
Especially during the fall the pigs
should be well fed to get as much
size and growth upon them before
winter as possible. 1t is at best
much harder to keep young grow
ing pigs in thrifty condition dur
ing winter than in the summer.
Llberality in the kinds and
amounts of feeds given is advisable
Use milk for the pigs until they
reach rs or 100 pounds in weight.
In case ordinary skim milk or but
termifk is not available, it will pay
to use some one of the commercial
milk feeds. Not very large amount
of these milk by products is neces-
sary, but little is a big help.
Corn is the most satisfactory
grain at present prices, if it is prop
erly supplemented with feeds like
milk, tankage, wheat shorts or lin
seed meal. Instead of using only
one of these last named feeds is a
good plan to feed two or three. In
this way the lack of green feed is
more apt to be obviated than if the
pigs diet is confined to two feeds.
Feed bills this season are not 60
ing to be large and returns are
sure to be good with anywhere
near an average price for finished
hogs.

history.
In regard to the National Old Trails
road, we may well say:
II we hold not in reverent memory
The adventurous deeds our fathers
hands have wrought,
so may our virtues all forgotten be,
Nor honor from our children's lips
be sought.
Keep then the trail laid in our faith
ers' days
When forth they Jared, the wilder
ness to roam,
And consecrate those long and toll
some ways
Ger which they passed to seek their
prairie home.
Not to F1aminian nor to Appian way
Greater the need of honor that is
due;
A nations pathway! Let the memory
stay
Fresh IN the souls that from this
planting grew.
Far be the road, by stately foliage
lined,
And IN each tree and leaf America
enshrined

Mixed Diet Best for
Hogs in Fall Months

At this time of the year reports
of disease among hogs commonly
show an increase. Frequently little
hog cholera is found during sum-
mer, but with fall conditions much
more is reported The aggravated
cause often is the change from dry
to green corn. Hogs accustomed
to dry feeds all summer are put up
on green corn quickly without be-
ing allowed enough time for their
digestive systems to become &C
customed to the RADICAL change in
feed. Then diseases which had not
been able to get hold upon the
hogs when healthy begin to affect
the weaker ones of the herd.

He said:
Henry Clay was one of the great
est statesmen this country has ever
produced There is.no finer man
on earth than a true Irish gentleman
and Henry Clay had all the highest
traits of an Irish gentleman, and a few
OF the worst. 49, He made friends
as no other American statesman ever
did. $50 Henry Clay was graduate
OF the university of hard knocks. He
also took several postgraduate courses
in it. We must remember that the
first signs of public disfavor came
when he opposed slavery.
He was natural leader, and unlike
other statesmen | might name, he al
ways carried his district by large
majority.
The one thing which seems to stand
forth most plainly is his loyalty. AS
a patriot, no man was ever more loyal
For him, America was first and al
ways. His reputation. his fortune. and
his life. he gave to America

Main street was the tavern, the old
Huntington House, in the place now
occupied by the Colonial building.
There were no railroads nor consid-
cradle manufactures.
The old Friends meeting house was
indeed there, the same building after
wards occupied as an oil mill north
of the railroad and Henry Clay, when
he came to Richmond was invited to
be present at yearly meeting and sat
in the gallery.
There were then two great political
parties in the country, the Wing party
and the Democratic party. Henry Clay
was the leader of the Wings. These
two parties however did not represent
the most vital issue before the people,
the slavery question, just as the two
parties today often do not represent
the most vital issues before the
country.
There were shareholders in both
parties, more perhaps in the Demo
cratic party, for that was strongest in
the South, but there were also men in

Hard Work to Kill Mites;
Best Materials to Use

1t takes several months to starve
the mites in an infested chicken
house after the poultry has been
removed. In tests made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture some mites were still alive
after 113 days in an abandoned hen
house. The nests indicated, too,
that the mites live longer in damp
locations than in very dry condi-
tons, which accounts, in part at
least, for the idea that mites are
worse in damp, badly ventilated
houses.
The only way to get rid of these
pests is TO break up their hiding
places. Dust baths will not control
them. Roosts should be taken
down and all unnecessary boards
removed. In badly infested houses
the mites are to be found every
where, including the roof. For
small coops hand atomizer will do
for applying insecticides such as
sprays, but for larger houses a
bucket pump, knapsack sprayer or
barrel pump, is desirable A rath-
er coarse spray should be applied
from all angles and dAen thor
oughly into all the cracks. The
floor also should be treated. as
many mites fall to the floor when
roosts are being removed
Commercial carbolineum, which
consists essentially of a high-grade
anthracene oil, has proved very eff
fective against mites. The killing
power of this substance, which is
derived from coal tar, lasts for sew
eral months, and mites which may
be inclined to come in from other
buildings are repealed for a long
time. This material costs, ordinar-
lily, 81 a gallon, but as its results
are superior to those recorded with
any other material, and the treat
ments required are fewer, its use
is strongly advised.
Crude petroleum, while not so eff
fective as carbolineum, retails its
killing power for several weeks, and
in most places is very cheap. Since
it does not dry into the wood so
rapidly it is more likely to soil the
fowls and the clothing. Both of
these materials can be sprayed bet
ter if reduced with kerosene at the
rate of about one part of kerosene
to three parts of the other particles,
which should be strained before the
spraying is begun.
1t has been found that one spray
ing with either of these materials
often will completely eradicate the
mites, but ordinarily it is advisable
to make second application in a
month, and in some cases a third
treatment is needed. Poultry
should be kept out of the houses
until the material is well dried into
the wood. 1t is advisable to spray
or paint chicken coops a few days
before putting broods of young
chicks into them.

GROW CELERY IN WINTER

Celery may be grown in a base
ment during the winter. Dig up
the matured celery plants before
freezing occurs. being careful to
have a ball of dirt attached to the
roots. Pack closely on the floor
or in a well ventilated box and keep
watered well. When ready to use
the celery cut the punches off
above the crown. If the roots are
kept watered new stalks will grow.

KEEP lSECTS FROM SEED
WITH CARBON DIStI PHID

Many seeds, especially beans.
corn and lettuce, are subject to in
jury by a number of insects, all of
which may be destroyed by fumi-
cation with carbon disulphid. say
experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Carbon
disulphid is a liquid that can be
purchased in tin cans at any drug
store. When poured into a dish it
evaporates rapidly, producing a
foul-smelling gas that is. heavier
than air.

HOUSING PIGS

There are some late fall pigs due.
Don't forget that some of them may
become chilled if the sow is not put
up in a good warm place Pigs
may be warmed by putting them
in a tub in which is a jug of hot
water or hot bricks. Take just as
good care of these late filters as
you would the early March filters.
They will need it if they are to get
a good start before real winter ar
riveS.

SPRAY PIGS

Don't start into winter with
lousy pigs. Bunch them up in
pen with or 6 inches of straw on
the floor and sprinkle or spray with
good disinfectant Part of the
liquid will fall on the straw and
then get on the under side of the
pigs.

STORE CABBAGE

Cold weather is coming. Don't
forget that cabbage is not a plenti-
full crop this year. Store it on
shelves in an outdoor cellar if one
is convenient. Another very good
method is to set the cabbages in
the ground, cover with a pole frame
and then pile straw on top.

COVER TURNIPS

Turnips give off an offensive
odor just as cabbage does if they
are stored in the basement Treat
them the same as you would pota-
toes. by placing them in pile, GOV,
ering with a thick layer of straw
and then with dirt.

TIMELY HINTS

Many perennials may be divided
this fall and reset of good advant-
age.
Apple and nut trees furnish shade
as well as fruit. They should be
set in the background.
Dig your gladiolus bulbs if the
frost has killed the foliage. If they
are still green, allow them to con-
tinue their growth and increase the
size of the bulblets.
Place squash on shelves in a dry
room near the furnace or in a warm
attic room. They must not be in a
damp or frosty place. They will
stand a great deal of heat and dry
air, but little moisture. If you want
squash or pumpkins to keep well,
handle them carefully so they are
not bruised.

If you haven't put out any tulips
or other spring Towering bulbs,
now is a good time. Plant tulips
about four inches deep and mulch
with straw or strawy manure late
in November.
Peonies should be planted now.
Do not set the top buds, or eyes,
more than two or three inches be-
low the level of the ground. Mulch
the first winter.
Don't put the lawn mower away
too soon. 1t is better to have your
lawn go into the winter with a
"clean-cut face" than long, strag-
Cling growth.
