PASTURE REQUIRED FOR HOGS
ter Should Net Be Expensive to
tho Farmer.

The economy Of having plenty Of
meat, lard. sausage and other products
from hogs seems not to have occurred
to many farmers. else more would raise
their meat. But 1t is fact in some
communities very few hogs are raised.
Fer best results pasture is required
for enough pigs to he raised for meat
enough to do the average farmer. But
sufiiciel.t for SOW and her litter
should not be very expensive. A small
area Of land fenced so the land may be
sown to two or three different crops
will go a long way toward furnishing
economical pork for the farm home.

ONE is BORN EACH MINUTE
Here Is Gold Assayer Who Bought
"GoId Brick" Believing It to Be
the Real Thing.

The fact that gold Is so scarce now
adays is responsible for an expensive
mistake which a st. Louis assayer,
made recently. When he was offered
10 pounds for $1,000 he jumped ut thu
''bargain," thinking he had made q
rare good buy. He cautiously assayed
the offering. 1t assayed like gold. 50
he bought it. Later it struck him as
being strange that the gold was in
the form of brick, and he decided to
melt 1t. Alas. for the bargainl The
nice shiny gold plating ran OF. leav-
ing brass beneath.
The next time that assayer Is Of.
fered gold brick for sale. he will
not decide that no swinder would be
foolish enough to sell near-gold 10 an
expert assayer. nor will he purchase
before he has made sure that he as
sayed deep enough.-Detective Story

"The League Of Nations has failed.
To champion 1t is to show an ignor.
ance equal to the copy readers.
"You remember, am sure, the es-
cape Of A. Savage Lander, the explor-
or. from Thibet? Landor escaped,
you know. but he bore the marks of
brutal t0rtures.
"This happened back In 1909 or
1910. There was a copy reader In
Chicago at the time who had never
heard OF the Explorer Lander, and
when the dispatch about him came in,
the poor ignorant copy reader edited
It SO that it appeared In his paper In
the morning like this:
IA savage landor has made its ap-
pearance In Thibet but the beast e.
