A Buck port Legend of Colonial Days
b Me tin.
- OIom by the road" on the outskirts of
the old seaport town of Bueksport, on
tb Penobscot river, Is small family
cemetery. Within Ks Inelosore sleep
the Backs, the bine Wooded folk who
first settled the town and bequeathed
It their name ana a li-gcnd.
I The largest and nK.Jt conspicuous
monument In the cenu ;err Is n tall
granite shaft, which Is In plain sl-!;t of
"the highway. On one side la t'a in
scription: "Col. John Buck, 1 be Founder
of Bncksport, A. D. 1762. Born In
Haverhill, Mass, 171& Died March 18.
1785." -
j On the other side Is the single word
"Buck," and also something not
wrought by the marble worker. On
the smooth surface of the pedestal Is
cottons outline, which can be easily
imagined to be a foot of normal size.
The people who say that It Is a foot
believe tar the legend which has oft
been told in Bncksport
TEe. story Is that Colonel Jonathan
Buck waif a very harsh man and the
JeadJng: sptrtt In his day and genera

comHronlty, In whlii '! resided. He

wfiaff hettta3n woman was accused ef
witchcraft ait the first clamorlngs of
the popautc1 Colonel Buck: ordered that
she bw linprisonedr and later she was
aenteiwed to be executed as a witch.
; lb execution day came, and the
woman wnf to tie "gallows, cursing

Sgfstrtf stood ratrwred. All was
readyr nd the-hangmaK wo about to

turned" to Coronet' Bucfcv and,' raising
onrnand toward heaven, stwsaid:
-"Jonathan Buck,' listen to these

whic&Trto m-speak-to you. Ton will
soon die, and over yoorgrave they will
erect a stone, that alt may know the
Mpot where your bones lie and crumble
to dust ' '
"Upon that stone the Imprint of my
foot shall appear, and for all time, aft
er, your accursed race has vanished
from' the face of the earth, will the
people from- far and near know that
you murdered a woman."
She then turned to her executioners,
And another act transpired to make a
part of American' colonial history. The
"witch curse" bad been almost forgot

had been fulfilled. An attempt was
made to remove the stain, but every
effort only tended to make It plainer.
The Imprint of the foot Is there today
as plain as over. Amateur photogra
phers have taken pictures of It, and a

FEEDING SWINE.
tome fftstake That May Aeoount Far
Faltorea In Raising Them.
By t. L. rr&ATTOl.
It is a mistake for one Inexperienced
to undertake the feeding of hogs un
less he expects to make a study of it
and Improve upon his mistakes.
It is a mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet You ask what
kind of feed to give them. I will ask
what kind of feed can be produced
an your farm and in your locality j "then
give them a variety of It These feeds
shonld be given in such relation to
tacit other as to meet the varied needs
ef the swine system.
It Is a mistake to forget that the
hog la a grazing anlmaL
It la a mistake If the bog la not fed
In a clean place, free from both dust
and mud.
It is a mistake to overlook or un
derfeed. Ordinarily It Is a mistake not to feed
the liquid before the soilil food.
It Is a mistake to feed constipating
food and nothing to correct It
It Is a mistake to feed all sizes to
gether whenever the smaller ones are
to a disadvantage.
It is a mistake not to provide the
herd with comfortable quarters at all
times. Failure In this will Impair the
usefulness of the feed.
It Is a mistake not to grow the pigs
rapidly from birth to market They
should gain every pound possible on
the way.
It Is a mistake to feed the brood
sow much corn before farrowing. She
Should have cooling and laxative foods.
It la a mistake to feed her heavily
for some days after farrowing.
It la a mistake to feed her pigs sonr
milk when they are learning to eat
It Is a mistake to fall to feed the
pigs bone and muscle forming mate
rials during their growth.
COMBINATION FEEDER.
Rack That Is Highly Reoommended
For Pawling Ewes With Lambs. '
The combination feeder shown in the

la 2 by 8 feet This rack may be made
In any length and placed so as to di
vide spaces.
In this rack may be fed roots, bran,
bay, silage or any other food. It Is
probably the Ideal rack fcr ewes with
lambs.
Salting the Cows.
A supply of salt available whenever
the cows want It is necessary to main
tain a high yield of milk. Salt stimu
lates the appetite and assists diges
tion and assimilation, which Increase
the flow of the fluids of the body. Bait
ing feeds for dairy cows once a week
Is not sufficient It la a good plan to
keep rock salt under shelter where
the cows can get at it at will and then
feed loose salt once a week In. such
quantities as the cows will eat' Loose
salt may be used exclusively If It can
be sheltered from rain. It is not best
to mix salt with feed, for frequently
the cows will get more salt than they
need, which will reduce the flow.
Rations For Brood Sows,
Brood sows should always have suf
ficient nutritious foods to keep them lit
good- condition. At farrowing time the
sow should not be too fat If she has
had plenty, of exercise and Is hi fair
condition aha will be better prepared
to care for ber offspring. She should
aot be fed corn every day of the year.
This grain should be given most spar
ingly just before farrowing and In Its
place a ration of two quarts of oats
and one quart of soaked corn with one
quart of wheat This will prove as
excellent ration.

A GLUTTON FOR WORK.
Story ef the British Civil Service In
the Last Century.
Thev British cIvQ service during the
middle of the last century waa a de
lightful place for yeung gentlemen who
wished a "Job" with nothing to do.
Mr. Arthur W. A'Becket in bis "Recol
lections of a Humorist" describes bis
first day in the war office. After read
ing the Times through no short task
and listening to the conversation of his
colleagues for awhile he ventured to
address his chief.
"Can I do anythlngr I asked. "Is
there anything for me to dor'
He seemed a little perplexed. The
other denizens of the room paused for
a moment in their conversation to hear
his reply. It seemed to me that they
appeared to be amnsed. My chief look
ed at me and then at the papers In
front of him.
"Ahr said he at last with a slgb of
relief. "Are yon fond of Indexing?"
I replied I was fond of anything and
everything that could be of the slight
est service to my country. If those
were sot the exact words I used, that
was the spirit of my answer.
"I see, a glutton for work," observed
my chief, with a smile that found re
flection on the faces of my other col
leagues. "Well, A'Becket Just Index
this pile of circular."
I seized upon thevundle and return
ed to my desk. Oh, how I worked at
those circulars I There were hundreds
of them, and I docketed them with the
greatest care and entered their purport
Into a book. From time to time my
official chief, so to speak, looked In
upon me to aee bow I was getting on.
"I say," said he, "there's no need to
be in such a desperate hurry. I am
not In Immediate- seed of the index.
Ton can tako your' time, you know.
Wouldn't you like a stroll in the park?
Most of us have a little walk during
the day. We none of us stand on cere
mony and are quite a happy family,"
But no; I stuck to my Indexing and
after some three days of fairly hard
work found my labors done. I took up
the bundle of circulars, sew la apple
pie order, and laid them on my chiefs
desk. '
"I say, A'Becket" said he, "this
won't da Ton are too good a fellow to
be allowed to cut your own throat and
for your brother's aake I will give you
a tip. Don't do more than you are
aaked to do. Now, I gave you those
circulars to Index because you would
bother me for work. I didn't want the
Index. Now It's done if a not the least
bit of , use to me. Of course It may
como In useful some day, but I scarce
ly see how It can, as the lot are out of
date. But of course It may," he added
to save my feelings.
