ADVICE TO OAK. BARK PEEL
ERS.
Bark, immediately after being
peeled, should be placed np-right
against the logs and allowed to re
main thus for twenty-four hours in
favorable weather. If weather
unfavorable then forty-eight hours,
after which it should be piled If
the ross and sap side of bark is dry
better pile it up not over twenty
four hours after peeli ng.
Never turn the flesh side of bark
toward the weather. Bark should
be piled "on logs raised at least
eighteen inches from the ground
facing west and having a sharp
pitch or slope to shed the water
that falls upon it and the twigs
and undergrowth cut entirely
away from around it. Any num
ber of tons may be placed in a pile
when bark is stacked np in this
manner. These piles must be well
propped on all sides to prevent
falling over. When loading wag
ons in the woods for hauling to the
railroad, any portion of Ipiles left
should be carefully covered. One
good soaking rain falling upon tbe
flesh of fresh peeled bark will take
out fully one-third of the tannic
acid in twenty-four hours.
THE TITLE COMPLETE-
Years ago, when the mountains
beyond Altoona were survejed a
deep, steep sided gulley was not
surveyed. It was not thought
worth wile to go down and up its
steep sides. It was the hollow
through which the Indian path ran,
the path that the Indians traveled
when crossing the Allegheny
mountains from the valley of the
Juniata to tbe valley of the Cone
maugh. Now the Pennsylvania
railroad spans the hollow at Ilorse
shoe bend, and a short distance be
low the railroad bend is the Al
toona water works. When the
mountain survey was made no
human foresight could see that the
hollow would come in as a piece of
property requiring a clear title.
The progress of civilization made
the rugged uninviting looking ra
vine valuable, and when the owners,
Altoona city, and the Pennsylvania
railroad company came to run their
chain of title back, they learned
that the early surveyors had not
surveyed it, and that the state had
not issued a patent and warrant to
any one. The city authority and
railroad authority went post haste
to Harrisburg for fear some other
persons might beat them to the land
office and secure the state title.
The city of Altoona and the rail
road company secured tbe patent
from the state last week and their
title is now complete. The hollow
comprises about 17 acres.

A BAZ0EBACK HUNT.
ROUNDING UP THE HOGS IS LIVELY
AND EXCITING WORK.

W'bile It Is generally accounted that
the sheep and Angora goat furnish
most of the revenues to the rancher In
the broken and wooded country south
of the Staked plains and west of tbe
Colorado river. It la nevertheless a fact
that the raaorback hot; contributes a
full share. Probably there Ib no coun
try anywhere better adapted to tbe
production of cheap pork. The billa
are covered with cedar and a great va
riety of scrub oak trees, and the can
yons and river valleys are heavily
wooded wtth pecan and Spanish wal
nut, so that there la alwaya an abun
dance of excellent mast, and It might
be mentioned that the cedar berries are
considered equal to corn In lard pro
ducing qualities.
With this sort of feed, which is al
ways abundant, the expense of care
and feeding Is removed, the animals
simply running at large over tbe coun
try. so that the only outlay required
Is that of the first cost of a few head
for a start. Running loose In this way
they are not subject to the diseases
common to the hog in the sty or feed
lot. and, being excellent fighters, they
hold their own with the wolves and
other wild animals which prey on the
sheep and goats. Thus they multiply
very rapidly.
In order to get the benefit of the In
crease In his stock, however. It Is nec
essary for the rancher to get his mark
on the pigs. As this, owing to the
roughness of the country and the wlld
ness of the sows. Is no small task. It Is
generally the custom for all the hog
owners In a given section to turn out
together with their dogs and prac
tically "round up" the range.
Compared with one of these "hog
hunts" a cattle "round up" Is a quiet
and commonplace affair. On the morn
Ing appointed the dogs are turned loose
and started out on a hog trail, and the
men rjde after them Just as on a wolf
chase. As tbe pigs cannot bold out
very long one of them Is soon caught.
and his squeals bring back the rest of
the bunch to bis aid. As soon as the
pig is free tbe sows form a circle
around the pigs, from wblcb they now
and then dash out at their tormentors
and all tbe while grunting like the rat
tling of a hundred old wagons. By the
time the uproar has reached Its full
height the hunters ride up and hiss tbe
dogs on to seize the sows. When one
Is caught, two men go to the assistance
of tbe dog, one with a club to beat off
the other bogs, tbe other with a bit of
rope to tie tbe one seized. Wben all
of tbem kave thus been put out of
the way of fighting, the pigs are
caught and marked. Then tbe sows
are given their liberty, and the dogs
start out on a new trail. When It bap
pens that there are bogs belonging to
several different men, tbe pigs are sim
ply divided.
While the work of "marking Is more
like sport than labor it Is not less ex
citing than that of getting tbe hogs
ready for market, for as It Is Impossi
ble to drive them any distance even to
the corrals at the ranches it is neces
sary simply to butcher tbem out In tbe
hills.
So a Ions In tbe early part of tbe
winter, after the new mast lias fallen
and tbe licj;s are as fat as tbey will
get. tbe ranchers load tbeir wagons
with salt, grub, kettles and lard cans,
take tbclr dogs and Winchesters and
strike out for the hills. They innke
camp near some spring or water bole
and then bes'n t!:e work of "kilHus,"
wblcb Includes the rendering of the
lard and saltiug of tbe meat. It Is like
a great bunt. Whenever a wagon
load of lard and meat has been put up
It Is taken to tbe nearest ranch and
left there until tbe "klllini;" season Is
over; then it Is loaded again and
freighted to the nearest rnllroa 1 point,
where It is sold at the market price.
It is said that ouly one man In that
country ever tried driving his hos to
market. That was "Uncle" Ben Pep
pcr, who lives a few miles above Junc
tion City, on the Sooth I.lano river.
He bad, be supiosed, about 300 head of
fat hogs, and tbe idea of that "killing"
worried him. So he hired all tbe men
In tbe country, got all the dogs In Kim
ble and Edwards counties and "round
ed up" all the hogs to be found. It
was. of course. Impossible to keep the
herd together, and as it scattered Ben
ordered bis men to separate a little
and keep moving toward Kerrville.
At noon on tbe fourth day tbe line
was within half a mile of the Guada
loupe river, tbe men were half a mile
apart and every dog worn out. Then
Ben decided that be would like to
know bow many hogs he had, as after
passing tbe Guadaloupe It would be
Impossible to see them In tbeopen
again. So be ordered tbe ends of tbe
line to swing In and close up toward
tbe river. It was nearly sunset when
the circle was completed, and be climb
ed Into a tall pecan so as to get a bet
ter view of the bogs wben tbey should
come swarming out Into the river. He
watched Intently until night was fall
ing; then he saw a lean, old sow
emerge from the busbes and go down
to drink, and a moment later the driv
ers began coming out. He nearly fell
out of the tree. He has never tried
driving since. Kansas City Journal.

With each returning February there
Is bold In the ancient wave dashed
town of Gloucester, Mass., a ceremony
solemn tn motive. Impressive In form
and absolutely unique in origin and
character. It la Gloucester's day of
mourning for ber sons who, during the
preceding 12 months, have gone down
to death on tbe distant fishing grounds.
Headed by the clergy and commonalty
and by bereft relatives, the people of
the town march In long and slow pro
cession to the appointed place of meet
ing, 'Where, during the remainder of
the brief winter's day, in chant and
prayer and formal addresses, tbe sor
row In which all share finds fitting and
touching expression..
Everybody who lives in Gloucester is
Interested In the fishing Industry, and
so It falls out that the city's life is
about equally made up of intervals of
Joy and sorrow. When summer opens,
the general tone of public feeling Is
bright and hopeful, but at the end of
the season, as the fishers come in, some
with flags at half mast, others bearing
fateful news, tbe whole town la de
pressed.
All the residents show a concern In
the sailors who are lost and In the wel
fare of their families. Even tbe citi
zens of fortune In Gloucester, who
suffer no personal bereavement, have
been brought closely Into touch with
the poor fishing families through re
peated tragedies at sea. The scenes
in the fishing quarters during the late
fail and winter months, when news of
death Is brought by almost every re
turning boat, arc most pathetic. Some
times tbe news comes with a shock; at
others, wives aid children wait for
weeks In anxiety, and never know tbe
details of the fate of their loved ones.

TRAPPED BY LETTER.
Evildoers Are All Aaaloaa to Bear
From the Woraea They LoTe.
"It Is queer what risks some men
will take to get a letter from a woman
they love," said au official of tbe gen
eral delivery department of the post
office. . "Criminals who can be found
in no other way are often arrested
when they call for mall at the general
delivery window. Generally tbe men
call for letters written by some wo
man. -
"Along close to the holidays last year
a Plnkcrtou detective came to the office
and waited for three days and nights
for a man wanted in tbe east. The de
tective knew that before tbe murder he
was accused of committing the mnn
had corresponded with a woman in the
east. The detective bad been waiting
three days, when be received word to
go to Columbus, O.. as there was a let
ter at that office for tbe man. He
went and had not been there long
when the man made his appearance.
The detective arrested him at once and
proceeded to Cleveland, where the
prisoner was tried and sentenced to
death.
"Another Instance was where not
long ago the authorities were looking
for a man accused of committing some
big crime and had no clew at all as, to
where be was. So every postofflce In
the country was sent word to look out
for a letter for that man. Some time
after oue came to our offloe. and we at
once notified the - authorities. A de
tective came on Immediately, and
when the man asked for his mall be
was at once arrested." Indianapolis

The bigger the gun the shorter Its
life. Those monsters, tbe 110 ton guns,
cennot be reckoned upon to fire more
than 80 full charge rounds without be
coming quite useless. The C7 ton gun
(an fire 105 rounds, while the G Inch
breechloader Is good for 400 or 4.r0 full
charge rounds.
The reason of this Is that tbe terrific
heat and corroding effect of the pow
der wear away tbe bore at tbe cham
ber end. and then the shell does not
.catch the rifling.
There Is nothing for It then but to
send the gun to the factory and have
the barrel bored and lined with a new
tube.
Eighty shots from a 110 pound gun
would be good business iu any war.
Where the Inconvenience arises Is In
tbe fact that during pence the men
cannot practice as much as desirable.
Still there Is a way out of it to a cer
tain extent, for It is found that a half
charge, which Is sufficient for prac
tice, wears out a gun only one-fourth
as fast aa a full charge, and even in a
way a three-quarter charge Is power
ful enough. -
Now a 110 ton gun, though It can fire
only SO full charges, can fire WO three
quarter charges and 320 half, charges.

An ingenious theory for tbe estima

an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes blm Into, primitive
country. He says that In one great de
pression in Wyoming tbe trees have
been recording tbe rate of erosion of
the slopes for about 300 years so accu
rately that the data to be obtained by
a careful study of tbem will be a fac
tor of extreme Importance In enabling
scientists to convert geological time
Into years. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly, be
makes the rough deduction that, ac
cording to their records tbe pliocene
and pleistocene periods would repre
sent about 1,500,000 yean, and that,
on this basis, the cenlzolc time would
be about 4,000,000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from tbe
beginning of the Cambrian epoch
would be 04.000.000 years.

RINGS ON YELLOW PINES.
Twa Circles af New Fiber Bleaalasr
lata Oaa Hark Each Year.
"It is very curious to note the suc
cessive growth circles of our yellow
pines," said a veteran lumberman from
the Pearl river district. "Until my at
tention was especially directed to the
subject by a forestry expert a few
years ago I bad no Idea that the mark
ings were so beautifully clear and dis
tinct. Tbe tree acquires two rings of
new fiber every year, one In tbe spring
and one In the fall, but tbey blend to
gether and form a single, well defined
circle. .
"During the first ten years these
successive accumulations are of about
equal thickness, and for tbe next two
decades the diminution Is very slight.
but after tbat tbe rings become thinner
and thinner, and wben the tree gets In
to the eighties and nineties the growth
Is very slight Indeed in fact, a mere
film. Nevertheless the ring Is always
formed as long as the tree Uvea and
can be clearly discerned with a glass
after It ceases to be risible to the nak
ed eye.
"During the visit of tbe expert to
whom I referred we cut a good deal of
timber on my place ranging between
18 and 18 inches In diameter. Tbat
tree Is 125 years old.' be would say,
tbat one Is 100. tbat Is about 140.' and
so on. Afterward we measured the
growth rings with the Instruments he
carried, and In every Instance be bad
hit tbe age within a few years. It
seemed wonderful, but was simply the
result of experience combined with an
accurate eye.
"There are some very ancient pine
trees In the Pearl river district, and
many of them figure in th.1 traditions
and folklore of tbe settlers in tbeir
neighborhood. There are couple of
such patriarchs on a tract near my
mill, and when tbe standing timber
of the place was recently sold I am
glad to say tbey were especially ex
cepted in tbe terms of tbe contract. It
would have seemed like murder to
some of the country folks if they bad
been cut down." New Orleans Times-
