Complaints from packers indicate

ing hogs against cholera by making
injections in the ham or shoulder. u
practice that often results In infection
and the formation of deep assesses In
the hams and shoulders where the se-
rum and virus were injected. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has long advised against using
those parts as points of injection, and
the department veterinarians are in
structed to avoid the possibility Of such
injury by selecting some other place.
The ham has been favored as place
for making the injections because they
can be made more rapidly and easily

QUESTION Of TREE PLANTING
Problem Is Worthy Of Very Much
More Consideration Than Is U.s.
ually Given It. /,

What kind of tree should one plant
beside ones home? asks Good House
keeping. Obviously 1t should be n fast
grower. Also it should be ornamental.
Preferably it should give shade that
is lofty and not too dense. A produc-
tive tree will answer as well as one
that is merely ornamental. If a grated
tree is planted rather than n Seeding
it will produce in n very few years.
Nut trees are both ornamental and
productive. The black walnut and the
pecan seem to be well suited to this
sort of planting. Why not try one or
the other, or possibly both, one on
each side of the house?
The black walnut is a rapid grower,
reaches large size, and has foliage of
great beauty. A mature tree will pro-
duce a great quantity of nuts. The
pecan is also large and beautiful, as
well as long-lved. Among the most
beautiful and stately of the trees ut
Mount Vernon are pecan trees planted
by George Washington and still in ex-
cellent condition. Commonly one
thinks of the pecan as tree for warm
latitudes only. Both 1t and the Eng
lish walnut will thrive much farther
north than is commonly supposed. For
planting near the house, then, the
black walnut, the pecan or Il good
shagbark tree would be an excellent
choice. The foliage of the walnut is
always beautiful and in the fall the
leaves of both the hickory and the Pc
can are symphonies in brown.

Whist Happened at Party Given BY
RebeIIlous Women.

Tea was not brought over by the
first settlers. When the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth tea was selling
in England at from $40 to $50
bound. It was luxury that had been
known to Englishmen only few
years.
Early settlers got along without
India or China tea for long time.
They used roots, herbs and leaves
found in the fields and woods as a
substitute for tea. Sassafras tea was
a common drink
Tea was advertised for sale in Bos-
ton In 1762 for the first time, accord
ing to historians. In 1866 patriots be-
gan to take the pledge not TO drink
tea because of the tax that the English
Government placed on it 1t became
fashionable for patriotic ladies not to
serve India tea, but as substitutes
therefor Labrador tea" and Liberty
tea"
Capt. Page Of Davers forbade his
spouse to taste tea beneath his roof
as long as the tax remained, but the
strong minded and ingenious lady as
cended TO the fiat roof of the house,
invited her friends to follow and there
she served tea TO them.
Some other ladies Of the town Jared
less fortunately. They used to borrow
for their tea parties the big teapot
OF the osce famous Bell tavern. ONE
day after drinking the forbidden bey-
erage the master of the house unex-
pectedly walked in, jumped to the fire.
grabbed the teapot and turned it over
and out rolled big frog. The jovial
patriots at the Bell tavern, suspecting
the use of the pot. had placed the
frog in it. Some of the DANES never
drank tea afterward. for It made them
sick
Isaac Wilson OF Peabody persisted
in selling tea. 50 the Sons Of Liberty
seized him and compelled him to walk
about town penitently repeating:
I, Isaac Wilson. Tory be,
I, Isaac Wilson, sell, tea.
The celebrated Boston tea party was
followed by tea parties in ether New
England towns In Salem soon after
the Boston party David Mason was
suspected of having had his negro ser
want smuggle two chests Of tea into
the home. Patriots entered and
searched the house. They found the
tea They gave 1t to boys. who par
AIDED with it to Salem Common and
there burned it.
Even after the Revolution trade In
tea was not wholly unrestricted. It

The EnaIIsh Thank You.

The expression thank you" is much
more current in England than in Amer
lea. It is also used with much wider
significance, often as the equivalent OF
II beg your pardon. = For instance,
says the Travel Magazine. an English
person passing before another or per-
haps iostling one or even treading on
his foot will say in apology Thank
you.
The phrase is heard constantly II
a saleman in shop or newspoy on
the street solicits your custom and
you refuse it he will say thank you"
quite as cheerfuIly as il you made a
purchase
There is a difference in the utter
ance TOO. The English emphasize the
second word very strongly and finish
with a rising infection as IL asking a
question. An American Is recognized
at once by his accenting the word
''thark" and closing with the falling
infection.

Storage up To Date.

The growth and development Of ia
cilities for storage Of all kinds in the
United States, and in New York espe-
eially, during the last twenty-five
years, has been marvellous. Few per-
sons outside the business realize its
immensity. Whether it be the Ncold
storage of pefishable goods, the stor-
age of general merchandise and house,
hold goods. or safe deposits, It has all
evolved from the same idea. and II
has certainly grown to proportions
that are wondrous.
Everything that has name, almost,
finds its way into the storage ware
per berries; lemons and lead; vase
line and vehicles; wines and wire;
spices and spaghetti; turpentine and
tea; rugs. rum, rhubarb and rope;
soaps and sheepslnns; paints and
peanuts; gums and glue; herbs and
hammocks; fans and feathers; hbres
and feits; copper and crystal; corn
and cutlery; needles and nails; en-
gines and extracts everything one
can think of. And. naturally enough.
some strange articles, from time to
time. for safekeeping. One superin-
tendent Of big storage house in the
city was one day accosted by a man
who came with an educated pig. He
had nowhere to lodge the animal. Ii
he put 1t in a stable. it would be
teased to death. So he wanted II
kept in storage. The superintendent
took the animal and kept it for three
days. at the end of which time the
owner returned for it. It was one
more experience to be added to the
pigs education.
A warehouse in the West has in
storage tombstone. 1t was purchased
by an elderly lady whose son died in
the Philippines. She purchased
tombstone for him and then suddenly
suffering financial loss. she was unable
to arrange for her sons remains to be
brought home. She is still poor. but
every year she visits the storehouse
and decorates the tombstone in mem-

The Former Clever, But Cold Hearted
The Latter AffectIonate.


Do you remember the trained pigs
which cayorted madly about the arena
when the circus was at the Garden?
Well, some one with hankering after
the secrets OF pig training tried TO
worm those secrets out of Mr.. Ker-
slake, who educated the prancing
porkers, and this is what he said:
Just keep at 1t. Patience. patience
and then some more patience. That's
the only secret 1 know.
pigs learn readily enough, but their
consarned perversity is what upsets
the whole thing Trained pigs are
rare and they are always in demand,
but they certainly cause lot of trou-
BILE. A few years ago the first trained
pig to appear on the stage earned for
his trainer a salary of $3.50 a week.
mo, they never care much for me-
l don't think a pig is capable Of real
affection. He is smart, though. Take
a puppy six weeks old and pig OF
the same age and the pig will learn
trick in half the time required by the
puppy; but a pig is contrary.
He finds out what you want him to
do and he goes ahead and does just
the opposite. and seems to get a lot
of enjoyment out of it. They cannot
be forced into doing a thing and TO
whip pig would ruin MIN for train-
ing. Just patiently going over and
over a thing is the only way. Pigs
will stand about ten minutes training
at one time"

analyze the relative merits of the ra-
zorback and common pigs the clown,

much laughter in the arena. came
