GREATEST MOTHER IN WORLD
labt . jiw
The greatest mother in the world,
perhaps, is Mrs. Jane Morris, re
siding in Jackson county, near the
foothills of the Cumberland mountains
in Kentucky. Mrs. Morris was born J
and reared in the mountains, lias little
education anil until a few years ago ]
had never been outside of her liumedl- j
ate vicinity, there being to this time j
110 railroad In Jackson county.
Her claim to greatness lies in the
fact that she can boast of a total of
518 descendants, nearly all of whom
are living and none of whom ever has i
been accused of crime.
' My life's motto has been," said the |
venerable old mother the other day,
"th<> Golden Itule. The duty of a wife
is to her home and her country, to

SAILOR SAVED BY HIS CAT
Writing in a London (Eng.) paper,
an officer relates a most curious In
stance of a cat unintentionally saving
the life of a man. Some time ago, he
says, he v as in a collision catastrophe
in which a steamer sunk a sailing
ship in the Atlantic. The steamer's
boats were promptly lowered, aud.
notwithstanding the darkness (it was
night) saved a number of the crew of
the sailing ships. Those in charge of
the boats, thinking that they had
saved all, were about to return to
their steamer, when they heard the
piteous mewing o* a cat. Rowing up
to the sound, they lifted a cat out of
the water, and as she was raised the
head of a man rose from under her.
He was tne last of the men of tne
sailing ship, and the cat had taken
refuge on his head. Ho was uncon
scious, but was resuscitated, so all
the men were saved.

CURSE WAS ON GREAT HOTEL
A curious tradition lingers around
the Savoy Hotel, London, where some
wonderful alterations have just been
carried out. When this great estab
lishment was first opened it had a
singular run of ill-luck. One of the
directors, seeking to learn the cause
of it, was told an odd story. The land
on which the hotel was built had for
merly belonged to a monastic order
which was expelled at the Reforma
tion, the property being confiscated.
On leaving, the abbot had cursed the
ground, declaring that any enterprise
connected with it should not prosper.
On hearing this tale the director
sought out a monastery of the ex
pelled order which still exists in
Devonshire, and by much tact and
diplomacy induced the abbot there to
go through the form of removing the
curse. No one who is aware of the
position the Savoy holds in
today can doubt that the removal was
effective.
WAT TYLER'S ENORMOUS BOOT
No man living In England has a
more remarkable collection of relics
than Lord Uangattoek at the Hendre,
Monmouth. Amongst them is an an
cient anil clumsy boot, which belonged
to the celebrated Wat Tyler. Invited
to a parley at Sinithfield with Richard
11., in 1380. Tyler addressed the king
In a menactng manner, now and again
lifting up his sword. On this, the
Mayor Walworth stunned Tyler with
his mace, and one of the king's knights
dispatched him. The sole and heel
of this boot are enormous, and on the
side of the leg is the mark of a sword
cut.

MANY ADVANTAGES WITH
CONCRETE FEEDING FLOOR
Prevents Feed From Being Trampled Into Mud and Con
tributes to Health of Animals by Lessening
Chances of Infection.
Since the advent of high-priced
corn and hogs, feeding floors of a
more permanent nature than those
made of wood are receiving a good
deal of attention, writes L. E. Trocger
of lowa in Orange Judd Farmer. The
advantages of a floor of some kind of
material like brick or cement over
plank need not bo argued. There are
a good many feeding floors made of
the first named material to be found
throughout the corn belt, and without
exception they are proving a good in
vestment.
In short, he main points in favor
of a feeding floor of permanent na
turo is that it is a feed-saver, as it
prevents feed from being tramped in
to the mud; it provides a solid founda
tion for troughs, prevents mudholes
around troughs, and undoubtedly con
tributes to the health of the pigs by
lessening the chances of infection by

intestinal parasites. It is a practice i
with some n>en to clean off the floor i
with a shovel every day when the i
floor is used for growing pigs, which J
removes thousands of worm eggs
when tho herd is wormy, and there j
are few that are not to a certain ex- t
tent.
The accompanying illustration shows
the main points in a feeding floor j
that combines all tha best fea
tures with cheapness. This is con
structed as follows: Select a well- !
drained spot in the hog lot, remove ■
all rubbish and litter till a solid
earth surface is secured. Level the j
surface, and if there are any soft
spots fill with clay if obtainable, and
tramp firm. On this surface spread i

FARMERS CURE
THEIR MEATS
This May Bo Rone Rntlier Eur.lly
and Fluvor of Product Much
Finer—Delicious at Cer
tain Times.
(By 8 C, MI Ll,Eft.)
In these days of salt peter, benzoate
of soda, formate and other dope
used by the big manufacturers In
the curing of nearly everything we
eat, I wonder why more of our farmers j
do not preserve their own foods, |
particularly meats. It seems to me j
there is more danger in the use of j
preservatives in the use of meats than j
anything else, and pickling of meat 9 |
on th>- farm is such a simple matter
that every man who kills his own pigs
. hould in addition to hams and bacon
put down a barrel of meat pickled.
Properly cared for 4 it is delicious at
certain a-ons of the year. <>n the
old farm In Virginia the following
method was always u><d. No better
meats were ever put on the farmer's
table:
For each 100 pound of meat take
two pounds of siiK.tr and four pounds
of salt Mis will ultd when the meat
:s first eut rub it well with pure salt
on the ll' sh side Let it lie a day or
i.i mi th« n drain out un> blond that

for the brick. If considerable dirt
has to be removed to secure a solid
surface it may be necessary to fill in
with ashes before the sand is spread.
In this case the ashes should be rolltKl
if possible, at least, made as solid as
can be with the means at hand. In
the meantime the retaining wall
should be put in. This should be made
of concrete six inches wide and ten
or twelve inches high, so that the
base will rest on firm soli. The cor
ners may be reinforced with old iron
rods or wire if such material is at
hand.
The bricks should now be laid,
breaking joints, and when all down
a half inch of fine sand should bo
spread over the surface of the same
to fill the crevices. If a firm founda
tion is provided for the brick there
will be no danger of the brick heav
ing or working out. The troughs
| should not be set in the floor, as
I .slop will sour under them in
! warm weather and rats may burrow
J beneath.
If it is desired to feed pigs away
j from the sows the floor can be fenced
i in and doors made in the fence that
will keep all but the pigs out. A floor
that is 16 feet wide and 30 feet long
i will furnish space for about 100 pigs
or a car load of fattening hogs, and
will cost for materials only around
s:io to S4O. Feeding can be made very
convenient by building a combination
corn crib and granary adjoining the
! floor. In the granary part a variety
of feeds can be kept, also a feed
cooker and other adjuncts. This is
I a very good arrangement for a small
I l'arm.
1 a barrel. It should then be allowed
to lie three or four days when it
should be rubbed with another portion
of the mixture and three or four days
later repeat the operation with the
remainder. It should then be packed
tightly In a barrel. After lying three
or four days It is ready to hang up.
It must be kept in a cellar or some
place where it will not freeze while
the curing process is going on. When
I applying the salt and sugar mixture
it is more convenient if one has two
barrels to use at the same time.
A great many people do not seem
to understand that smoking meat does
J not cure it except as the warmth from
the fire causes the moisture to evapo
: rate. There is no particular virtue
; in the smoke itself and meat could he
1 as well cured by any kind of slow
[ gentle heat even if no smoke eame
from it. However, the heat from
clean, fresh hickory chips can never
be improved upon and if people be
lieve that the quality of the meat is
improved by the sweet odor from
; this form certainly no harm will lie
| done. The main thing is to keep the
heat regular and at a low point iu or
| der that the moisture may be diawti
out from the meat evenly.
