The pretty daughter of a physician ia engaged to a college student of whom her father does not altogether approve. His daughter is too young to think of marriage, the doctor as serts; the college student is too young to think of it, likewise. It is out of the question. She explained all this to her lover the other night. "Father says," she summed it up; "father says, dear, that I will have to give you up." The young man sighed. "Then it's all over?" he murmured, with gloomy interrogation. And the girl laughed and" blushed. "Well," she said, "well, you you know that when the doctor gives you up that's just the time for you to take more hope. . Isn't it sometimes that way?" Reboboth Sunday Herald. Careless and Cappy. We have undertaken to blend in bne the best of the two proverbial conditions to be careless and happy, hairless and cappy. We are now hap py and cappy, and frequently careless as well. A pretty figure may be con jured up a figure in leaf-green satin veiled with rose and silver shot gauze. The dark hair is covered by a sai lor's cap, point and all, worn flatly over the whole head, the point failing at the back. Instead of being made of scarlet cashmere, it is of the gauze, over silver tissue, and studded with pink and yellow topaz, while it is bor dered with great gray pear-shaped pearls, these, of course, hang'ing around the back of the neck and over the soft hair in front.

Willie had been to see his old nurse, and she had shown him her treasures, including some very strik ingly colored scripture texts which graced her walls. A few days afterward his aunt gave him a dime to spend at a bazaar. Seeing that he seemed unable to find what he wanted, she asked him what he was looking for. "I am looking for one of the Lord's advertisements, like Mary has in her room," said Willie. Easy Game. "What you need," said the kindly friend, "is a change of air.

" Winter Months on' the form I i How to Improve i mm 6 I w i w mil Copyriiiht. ioio. bv Western Newsyaper Union At the present time there is consid erable controversy as to the merits of the lard type and the bacon type of Bwine. The long, narrow, thin fleshed bacon typo, which dresses 70 to 75 per cent, on butchorlng, as com pared with "the lard type, which dresses 84 to 87 per cent., meets with little favor in some sections. In fact Immature and unfinished lard hogs sat isfy most of the bacon demands. On the other hand, the lard type, which Is low, deep, broad, heavily-fleshed, and including the Poland China, Duroc Jersey, Berkshire and Chester White breeds, is. always in demand. Selection of Breed. The selection of a breed is due rather to personal preference than to any superiority of ono of the four va rieties of lard hogs. Efllcient manage men will succeed in the long run, no matter what breed is selected as the foundation stock. The market itself does not differentiate between breeds but rather requires uniformity in type combined with superior finish and quality. The best plan for each farm er to follow is to select the breed that most closely corresponds to his par ticular conditions as determined by personal preference, method of pro duction, local popularity of the breed and the market demands. Due to the fact of the rapid re sponses to the introduction of superior blood and the ready retention and transmission of acquired characteris tics among the swiije family, the up grading and improvement of the scrub herd is a relatively simple matter. There is no excuse for any farmer maintaining a herd of inferior scrub hogs on his farm. By the use-' of a good, pure-bred sire anyone can, in a few years and at little expense, es tablish a grade herd equal to a pure bred herd as regards pork production. Of course, this necessitates the rejec tion of all inferior animals from the breeding herd and the maintenance of only the improved types. Importance of the Boar. The herd boar should be a pure bred, prepotent sire strongly evincing his breed characteristics and possess ing the necessary market confirma tion. He should be short and broad A AAAA' " v.?V - - J ; vA, A",rrv b k A" A 'S ' i Fattening Swine Can Be Kept Most Economically In Lots With Individual Houses for Each Dozen Hogs. A Feed Wagon Is a Labor-Saver. In face, broad between the eyes and possess short, broad ears. His neck should rise rapidly between the ears and widen rnto a body which is long, uniformly wide and deep. Massive forequarters and narrow hindquarters with insufficient depth in hams and twist should be avoided. Re finement in tho head is essential, sup plemented by a broad, strong, slightly arched back, a wide loin and wide deep hams. The legs and feet of the boar should be short, strong and sound. Having selected a boar correspond ing to the above type, it is best to quarantine him for three or four weeks to eliminate all danger of the Introduction into the herd of parasites and diseases by way of the newly purchased sire. A boar should not be used for service earlier than the age of eight months and then should be only allowed to serve one female a day, preferably in the early morning, before feeding. The sow 'should correapond closely to breed requirements, although she can bo a little more refined in fea tures and bna. She should possess ten to tweive sound teats, also a quiet, docile temperament indicative of a good mother. Both the boar and sow should be in good condition for the breeding season and should be grown rather than fattened. During preg nancy the sows should be forced to exercise by scattering their feed in difrerent places or by making them root for their feed mixed with litter. Rations for Breeding Swine. Some of the best swine rations used at Wisconsin college of agriculture are about perfect. The only objection to them is that they are too expensive for long-continued feeding operations. A good ration consists of 100 pounds of mixed feed fed as slop, composed as follovs: Cornme.il 30 pounds, ground oats 30, wheat middlings 30, oil meal 8, salt' 2. This ration is particularly adapted for swine from the weaning period until they reach 300 pounds in weight. All the corn that the pigs will clean up can also be supplied whore they Profitable Pork Production Breed, Breeding and Feeding ihe Foundation of Success. Management of the Sow and Young Pigs Dy PROF. G. C. HUMPHREY Wisconsin College of Jlgricullun are being fattened for market, without danger of causing digestive disorders. The oil meal in this ration not only gives consistency and uniformity to the slop, but it also regulates the di gestive organs and improves the qual ity of ekin and hair. A good brood sow ration consist?, of cornmeal 23 pounds, ground oats 23, wheat middlings 23, wheat bran 23. oil meal G and salt 2. This is an ex cellent ration, the wheat bran giving it bulk and increasing its laxative effects. A, good ration for small pigs In cludes ground oats (free from hulls) 35 pounds, wheat middlings 35, corn meal 20, oil meal 8 and salt 2. This should be supplemented with warm skim-milk for young pigs, led just i before and after weaning time. A good ' - v . . A Good Type of Brood Sow for Pro ducing Market Pigs. plan Is to feed small quantities of this ration to four-vfceks-old pigs for two weeks and then wean them and gradually accustom them to the grow ing ration. In the case of the first two rations oats may be omitted and the same amounts of corn and wheat middlings increased or barley may replace the corn, as it is excellent for bacon pro duction. 1 Corn and clover pasture produce excellent gains towards tho end of the fattening process. In the brood sow ration bran may be replaced by roots and oats may be omitted, providing the sows have abundant ex ercise. After the farrowing period sows need the growing ration for the maintenance of large litters. Care at Farrowing and Weaning. The sows should be housed in com- fortable. sanitary quarters and fed as usual up to the date she is to far row. Knowing the date the sow was bred, and that the period of gestation for swine is 112 to 116 days, it is easy to approximate the date of far rowing. When the sow's udder be comes distended and milk can ba drawn from her teats she is due to farrow within 24 hours. After far rowing, tho sow should bo fed the slop ration and laxative feeds to keep the bowels open. She should be bedded with oat straw or shredded corn fodder, which furnishes a dry, dustless bedding. Dust of any kind will cause coughs or pneumonia among the -little pigs. Keep the sow quiet immediately after farrowing, allowing her only cold water, and at the, end of 24 hours give her a light bran mash. After this the feed can be increased gradually up to the fifth day, when a liberal ra tion may be fed. Judicious feeding prevents milk fever in sows and scours In pigs. At the age of four weeks pigs begin to cat. and it is well to have them feeding well before weaning time. Fresh milk added to tho small pig ra tion satisfies their demands. The ra tion should be fed in. lt easily cleaned V-shaped trough. Shelled corn should be kept in a dry place before the pigs, and they will scon lc-rn to oat it. The main point to be considered in feeding young pigs is to r;row them and not to fatten them. Thoy should thrive on a well-rclishcd ration and grow steadily. Weaning can be com pleted at six to eight weeks of age. Where only one litter cf pig3 ia raised annually it is possible to let the pigs run with their dam for ten to twelve weeks, while in other casc3 only part of the litter is taken away from tho sow and the rest left with their dam to gradually dry off her milk flow. Sod for Orchard. The pear orchard will do best when allowed to prow up in soil. Slow and hardy growth in sod makes pear trees more resistant to disease.

Travelers approaching Los Angeles from the north are astonished some times at seeing from tho car win dows flocks of pigeons numbering many thousands just on the outskirts of the Angel City. These- belong to the world's largest pigeon farm, own ed by T. R. Johnson, and justly considered one of the show places of southern California. Merely as a curiosity it ranks with the alligator farm, the numerous ostrich farms and similar freak establishments. The pigeon farm consists of about eight acres of sandy, gravelly land along the bed of the Los Angeles liver a "river" only by courtesy dur ing the long, dry summer months, Money Makers. when it becomes practically , a mere rivulet. The farm was established about ten years ago on a compara tively small scale; but the venture proved so profitable that the owner developed the business along lines such as have marked the growth of other great modern Industries, until he claims to now have more than 100,000 fully grown pigeons in his i establishment, not to mention tens of ; thousands of squabs. Any one ques ! tioning the accuracy of the figures has 1 the privilege of counting. As a mat iter of fact, the estimate probably is many thousands below the actual ; number. ; The object of this vast pigeon breed ing establishment is the production iof squabs. At the present time about 40 dozen squabs are killed and sent to market every day; but a little later in the season the daily output will bo much greater, so that the annual squab crop from this one establish ment is about 250,000. These sell at anywhere from $2.50 up to $4 per dozen (depending upon the time of year), and it is evident that the in come from the mammoth pigeon farm foots up to a very tidy sum annually. However, this is not all "velvet" by any means. The birds consume be tween two and three tons of grain every day and the labor of looking after them, keeping the buildings clean and sanitary, and killing and preparing the squabs for market is not a trifling matter.

Then put a wire screen with a one-inch mesh over the top. The chickens can not get into the water and one filling will do for all day. DOOLMMSEC jflllPHlil Food flavors the egg. Dry houses prevent roup. Too much raw meat produces worms. The first essential in the production of eggs is the health of the hens. Poor drainage in the chicken yard always results in unhealthy birds. Feeding cannot bo properly regu lated when a mixed flock of large and small fowls are kept. The orchard is a splendid place for poultry to range in. Poultry is a very good insect destroyer. It would be a good thing to move the poultry yards occasionally giving the hens new, clean grounds to live on. With young chicks there is as much danger of overfeeding as underfeed ing. Feed often and regularly, iu stead of too much at one time. The south slope of a hill mates a splendid location ior a poultry house. The north and west sides are nat urally protected from the cold winds. In some places chickens are pur chased, confined and finished for mar ket on milk and ground feeds, the milk constituting the larger portion of the diet.
