Finds Inspiration in
Cabin In the Woods

Back from the river two miles, In
a swamp interviewer by brush and
fallen trees, John Burroughs bought
two or three acres of land. Here he
spent many enjoyable days clearing
and draining the swamp in order to
get use of the rich corn, celery and
potato soil.
At one end of the swamp on mas
sive rock, Burroughs built with mis-
own hands cabin, the sides being
of slabs of different species of wood
that grew about the swamp. with a
big stone fireplace in one end that
Burroughs ranked as a great piece of
masonry. Of course, the slabs sug-
gested the name Slabsides that Bur-
roughs gave it, says the Lincoln Jour-
nal.
He would stay at Slabsides for
weeks at a time, but each day visited
his vineyards to get his mail from the
post office He would walk leisurely
along, observing the wild creatures
and flowers that bloomed by the side
of the woodland road. The interior
of Slabsides is made up of rustic fur
niture which Burroughs made himself.
The rustic table has turned out many
manuscripts from Burroughs pen.

Peaks in the East
H0Ue Famous Names

Up in the White mountains of New
Hampshire rises what is known as the
Presidential range. There stands
Mount Washington, whose bleak sum-
nit is higher than almost any other
mountain east of the Rockies. Near
it rise the weather-beaten peaks of
Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson, Mount
Madison and Mount Monroe.
There is another Presidential range
more complete than this hidden away
between the covers of the New York
telephone directory. Among the 1885,
600 telephone users Of New York city

man who has ever held the Office OF
President of the United States All
are there-Wa Washington, Adams, JEFF
ferson, Madison, Monroe and every
other, down through Jackson and LIN
coin and Grant to the present day.
Many another famous name appears
in the pages of New York's telephone
book, but it Is rather remarkable that
the roster of the presidents should
be there without a single break.

to determine the amounts of linseed

Ing ration for best results. Similar
tests are also being made on alfalfa

Tight-wooled Wyoming lambs of
medium weight were selected. At the
time the experiment began they vera
valued at $13.05 hlvldred and aver
aged about siEty-three pounds per
head. The standard ration, consisted
of corn and alfalfa hay to which was
added varying quantities of oilmeal or
alfalfa molasses meal. Each lot con-
sisted of 80 lambs.
The greatest profit was made on the
lot fed corn, alfalfa and medium
(.237 pound daily per head) allowance
Of oilmeal The lot averaged "a cents

78 cents per head, were made on the
lot which received corn, alfalfa and

most profitable group which made 20

meal (.554 pounds per head daily
being SO cents per head and on a light
feed (.186 pounds per head) being Ga

and alfalfa with no supplements made
profit of 40 cents head.
In this experiment both alfalfa-mo-
lasses meal and linseed oilmeal had
higher replacement values when fed
in small amounts than when fed in
either medium or heavy allowances.
Feed prices were as follows: Shelled
corn, 60 cents bushel; oats, 40 cents;
oilmeal, $50 per ton; alfalfa-molasses
meal, $50 per ton; prairie hay, $12 per
ton and alfalfa hay, $15 per ton. The
largest daily gains were made in the
lots receiving oilmeal. The lowest
cost of 100 pounds gain was in the
group which received a light allowance
Of alfalfa-molasses meal, corn and al
falfa hay. Only three cents behind
came the group fed alfalfa hay and

groups having a higher cost per 100

MRS. cows STORY
NARY GRAEIAM BONNER

"a very strange thing happened not
long ago., said Mrs. Cow.
She chewed her cud for moment
or two, then swished her tail and
whisked an annoying fly off and looked
about her.
II heard this story from one of the
children who had been visiting at the
seashore. She didn't tell it to me but
she told the other children about it
and / was listening.
"As / said, she had been visiting at
the seashore.
"She told about the ocean and the
swimming and the sailing
"She told about the castles which
they built in the sand and of houses
made of sand which the ocean came
and washed away.
II thought 1t rather rude of the
ocean but then l suppose the ocean
isn't so very mannerly. Anyway she
didn't seem to mind.
"But she said that one day they
took a drive and they drove along a
road which went back little way
into the country.
AT the seashore she said there
were no country things at all it was
just a little seashore place with an
enormous ocean and lot of sand as
far as 1 could make out from her de-
scription.
1.-THE ocean at times became very
rough and there were some bad storms
but she seemed to like it though
am sure wouldn't.

meadows or fields or streams.
"The ocean, it seems, is great deal
larger than this stream of ours near
by. heard her say that.

Vermifuge One of Best
Remedies for Pic Worms

A vermifuge of from three to five
grains of santonin mixed with from
five to eight grains of calomel is one
of the best remedies for worms in
pigs. This dose is sufficient for 100
pounds weight. If the pigs are small
and it requires two or three to weigh
100 pounds, the large dose should be
given. Divide the drove into ten or
fifteen hogs each. Then place ground
feed in a trough moistened with milk
or water and sprinkle the powder even
" over the feed. They should not have
any feed for at least twelve hours be-
fore the medicine is given. 1t may
also be given in capsules and when
this method is used the dose is from
two to three grains each of santonin
and calomel. The pigs mouth is opened
and the capsule dropped well back.

Form Dense Slpan1ps

common on seacoasts and tidal river
shores in tropical and sub-tropical
climates. The dominant vegetation
consists of mangrove trees inter-
spersed with plants of similar habit.
The accumulation of debris and mud
among the roots and trunks builds
up the land so that bays are filled
and river banks extended until the
streams are restricted to narrow
channels between dense walls of trees
which completely conceal the shores.
Many such swamps are found on the
coast of Florida.

Natures Tonics Needed
for Young Growing Pics

Natures tonics for young growing
pigs are exercise, sunshine, plenty of
green succulent feed, and clean sur
roundings, say live stock specialists
at the South Dakota State college.
The man who will be most successful
in weaving high average number of
pigs for each sow kept on his farm
is the man who will plan to take adj
vantage of these tonics. A large part
of the success with the litter, there
fore, will depend on getting the SOW
and pigs on pasture when the pigs
are ten days to two weeks old, or as
soon after that age as possible. 1t is
just as important to the health and
thrift of the litter for the mother
to get exercise as for the pigs.
