His Future Expenditures.
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

New Idea in Judicial Lore.
The suggestion of a French judge,

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

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.

If too many sheep nre confined on a

"As the days went by I steadily

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

forms of dust, and at the request of

and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the
United States government has recent

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

A LADY LECTURER
Feeds Nerves and Brains Scientifically.
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.
"I find Grape-Nuts very palatable
and would not be without the crisp,
delicious food for even a day on any
consideration. Indeed, I always carry
it with me on my lecture tours."

WHERE WIGGING FELL DOWN
Employer Now Realizes That There

Outside his own cleverness there Is
nothing that so delights Mr. Wiggins

gets a chance to exploit the two at

it was that the other day, when little
red-headed Willie Mulligan, his office

to ask for tho afternoon off that be
might attend his grandmother's fu

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

whom he had no interest whatever.—
