Among the most frequent requests that goto the United States senate are those asking some prominent member to give money to charity or ganizations, hospitals and other phi lanthropic undertakings. One day a charity worker asked Senator Flint of California, who is not a wealthy man, to give a large sum of money for a free ward in one of the hos pitals. "I am sorry that I cannot comply with your request," said the senator gravely; "but judging from the num ber of similar demands that have been made upon me in the past, I have de cided that I can promote a greater charity. The vast amount of money spent on hospitals in this town con vinces me that thousands of people are going to die and be buried with out flowers. Hereafter, I shall devote my spare money exclusively to send ing flowers to the dead."—The Sun day Magazine. New Idea in Judicial Lore.

Thompson's Eyo Watsi CONVENIENCE OF DIVIDING FALL AND SPRING HOG HERDS By This Method Farmer Will be Able to Distribute His Time Equally. Economize in Room, Sell When Markets Suit Him And Furnish Customers Kind of Pork Desired. (By C. C. BOWSFIKLP, Illinois.) Every farmer, who raises as many as 100 hogs in a year, ought to divide them into spring and fall herds. By this means he will be able to distrib ute the labor to suit his convenience, economize in room, sell when the mar ket suits him, and furnish his custo mers on short notice, any kiud of pork desired, from suckling-roast to prime bacon. The thoroughly practical man can turn hogs into money very rapidly, but the business needs to be on a scale extensive enough to enable him to properly divide his llelds and build ings, and to make thorough experi ments, with different types, and differ ent kinds of food. I have observed two or three bad failures recently, which were caused primarily, by the old and erroneous idea that hogs do not require much ground room or forage. In raising pork for the market, the farmer ought to keep hi mind these vital points: Cost of feeding, danger of disease or sickness, and range of market prices. Starting the season with 50 to 100 pigs just weaned, the owner should provide pasturage of some kind. I would give this lot of young animals one mess per day.of brain and shorts moistened with slops, skimmed milk or whey. This is ample in a grass-lot of five or ten acres. Clover is excellent for forage, but srtichokes and rape are better. A Berkshire Gilts. little corn soaked in water is good I when the pigs begin to show growth. What they need above all else, how ever. is the range, with just about such a line of food as would be re quired to give young cattle a steady and rapid growth. Field-peas ought to be available toward the end of summer. The hogs can be allowed to do the harvesting themselves. This will give firmness and sweet ness to the flesh, and could be used right through the fall, instead of corn. My preference would be to give the final month to a dressing up with corn. This crop being ready in Octo ber, the fattening process can be ASALFTPEST WORKS INJURY Weevil Is Not Native to America, Hut Introduced From Europe, Asiaaoil A(rica. (By F. M. WEBSTER.) The alfalfa weevil is not native to America, but has been accidentally in troduced from Europe, western Asia, or northern Africa, where it is very common, and where, while more or less destructive to alfalfa, it is prob ably prevented by its natural enemies from working serious and widespread ravages. The insect winters entirely in the beetle stage, seeking shelter, before the frosts of autumn commence, either in the crowns of alfalfa plants, close to the surface of the ground in field or under leaves, matted grass, weeds, and rubbish along ditch banks, hay stacks and straw stacks. Indeed it is oftentimes found in barns where hay is kept over winter. It has been estimated that fully 80 per cent of the beetles that go into winter quarters in the fall live through until spring. With the coming of spring the beetles make their way The Alfalfa Weevil: Adults Clustering on and Attacking Sprig of Alfalfa. forth from their hiding places and attack the young growth of alfalfa as soon as there is sufficient food for them. In ordinary seasons they appear in March and the egg-laying period usu ally lasts from March or April until early July. Some idea of the abundance of these eggs and the extent to which the pest may breed in vacant lots and other waste lands where alfalfa has escaped from cultivation and grows as a weed may be obtained from the fact that in one case a single plant hju been found to contain 127 of theße rushed through the month of No vember, or until conditions are right for marketing. The clearest profit is made in ten months, at which age, the hogs ought to average 250 pounds. Animals that get good pasturage, and about such a diet as 1 have described, are pretty sure to escape disease. It is essential to have plenty of pure water in the hog lot. The farm should include three or four small fields, securely fenced, so that one kind of forage could be rested, while the other was used. Then again, if the owner detects fever or other sickness in the herd, it is easy to segregate those animals which are affected. Prompt action along this line, may prevent heavy loss. Dipping is another essential, and as it is neither difficult or expensive, it ought to be attended to, twice each summer. With this kind of hog farm ing, cholera will not be known, and the stock will get a steady growth, from beginning to end. If the weather be severe, when it comes to the last month of feeding, the hogs should be kept in clean, roomy pens, but even to the last day, they should have some succulent for age-plant to eat. Clover or alfalfa is suitable for this, and carrots are ex cellent. in connection with the corn, or peas. It is for the good of the animal, and of course for the owner's pocket, that a program of this kind be marked out. Feeding 50-cent corn, for six or eight months, will not do. Farmers must learn that forage is natural to the hog. and that it will give the growth at a small cost. Allowing full rental value for the land, the cost of all food supplies, and the wage value of the time taken up in the care of the stock, from the date of birth, to the marketing 100 hogs 10 months old averaging 250 pounds, can be turned off, at a cost not ex ceding S7OO. It may be done for a little less, but if it is to be a business proposition, let it be figured as a business man would count the expense. With care ful experimenting and observation, for several years, 1 get no figures very far from $7 for a marketable hog weighing 250 pounds. Keep Up Cow's Condition. To keep up the condition of the cows and to supplement the pasture a little wheat bran and flaxseed meal can be profitably fed all through the summer. egg punctures in the midst of the egg laying season, with the punctures fresh and new. As one puncture may contain anywhere from a tew to over 30 eggs, probably 10 or 15 on the aver age, this single plant presumably con tained between 1,200 and 1,300 eggs at the time it was observed. If these hatfXed and half of them developed into female beetles and 80 per cent of the latter passed the winter, this plant might in a year give rise to over 150,- 000 beetles. The alfalfa weevil has no natural enemies, except frogs and toads, both of which are by far too few in num bers to greatly restrict the ravages of the pest. AIDS FOR THE HOG BREEDER Two Pastures Better Than One- Vicious Aiiim.it Should be XLilled Provide Shelter. The breed of white hogs is rapidly disappearing from this country. 112 Free range for hogs does not mean that they should be allowed to run over our neighbor's farm. With good fence wire as cheap as it is today it is an easy matter to di vide up the hog pasture into convenient lots. Two pastures are better than one, because while the hogs are feeding in one field the other will be recover ing and later furnish much more at tractive feed than as if both pastures are used as one. The vicious hog that is forever breaking out and causing trouble for one's neighbor cannot be killed too quickly. It is a good plan to provide sum mer shelter for the hogs on a high spot where the wind will have a full sweep. Cow of Quality. It Is unofficially reported that a Jer sey cow ownd by a member of tho American Jersey club, of New York, in a year's test gave 14,452 pounds of milk. The average daily was 39 6-10 pounds milk and 2 pounds and 1-7 ounces of butter. Feed for Dairy Cows. High-priced feed and low prices for milk or its products is a very unde sirable combination, but it is some times economy to submit to a present loss, rather than allow a milk How togo by default.

DISTRESSING CASE OF HIVES "I retired one evening and after Bleeping a couple of hours was awak ened by a burning sensation all over the upper part of my body. It was Just simply terrible and made it im possible for me to sleep the rest of that night, so I had to sit up all night changing my position every couple of minutes. As the hours went by it grew worse and soon I started to scratch myself. When daylight ar rived I saw that my body was covered with large red marks about an Inch or two apart. My face was also af fected. I went to see a doctor. told me that I must have eaten some thing poisonous, and I had the hives. He prescribed a medicine and also gave me some ointment. "As the days went by I steadily grew worse, the marks changing from one part of my body to another. The medicine and ointment were of no use. One evening by chance looking over the papers I saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised. I Immediately procured some Cuticura Ointment and applied it to my body. It seemed to ease my skin right away. I kept on using the Cuticura Ointment for a week and can say that it certainly was the finest preparation I had ever used. It completely cured me, and I have not been troubled since."

Mrs. Browning. Apropos of the jubilee of the death of Mrs. Browning, it is not generally known that the event occasioned one of the tenderest things her husband ever wrote. He tended her alone the night before she died, and wrote of her passing in a letter of infinite pa thos addressed to their mutual friend, Mrs. Blagdon: "Then came what my heart will keep till I see her again, and longer—the most perfect expres sion of her love to me within my knowledge of her. Always smiling and with a face like a girl's; and in a few minutes she died in my arms, her head on my cheek. . . . There was no lingering or acute pain, nor con sciousness of separation. God took her to himself as you -would life a sleeping child from a dark, uneasy bed into your arms and the light." Dust and Tuberculosis. As a result of the dangers from con sumption to those exposed to various forms of dust, and at the request of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the United States government has recent ly appointed a commission to work in co-operation with state authorities in making an investigation into the con ditions of the metal mining industries in the United States, with special ref erence to diseases of the lungs. The work of the commission engaged in this special task will follow lines somewhat similar to those worked out by the Royal Commission of Aus tralia. whose report was recently re ceived In this country.

A lady lecturer writes from Philadel phia concerning the use of right food and how she is enabled to withstand the strain and wear and tear of her arduous occupation. She says: "Through improper food, imperfect ly digested, my health was complete ly wrecked, and I attribute my recov ery entirely to the regular use of Grape-Nuts food. It has, I assure you, proven an inestimable boon to me. "Almost Immediately after beginning the use of Grape-Nuts I found a grati fying change in my condition. The ter rible weakness that formerly pros trated me after a few hours of work, was perceptibly lessened and is now only a memory—it never returns. "Ten days after beginning on Grape- Nuts I experienced a wonderful in crease in mental vigor and physical energy, and continued use has entire ly freed me from the miserable in somnia and nervousness from which I used to suffer so much.

WHERE WIGGING FELL DOWN Employer Now Realizes That There Are Such Things as Grand mothers of Office Boys. Outside his own cleverness there Is nothing that so delights Mr. Wiggins as a game of baseball, and when he gets a chance to exploit the two at the same time, he may be said to be the happiest man in the world. Hence it was that the other day, when little red-headed Willie Mulligan, his office boy, came sniffling into his presence to ask for tho afternoon off that be might attend his grandmother's fu neral. Wiggins deemed it masterly stroke to answer: "Why, certainly, Willie. What's more, my boy, if you'll wait for me I'll go with you." "All right, sir," sniffed Willie, as he returned to liis desk and waited pa tiently. And lo and behold, poor little Willie had told the truth, and when he and Wiggins started out together, the lat ter not only lost one of the best games of the season, but had to at tend the obsequies of an old lady in whom he had no interest whatever.— Harper's Weekly.
