DEVICE FOR DRESSING HOGS.
Frame Is Made Similar to That Used
In Derrick for Hay.
An excellent method of constructing
a hog scaling mid hanging outllt is,
first, put up three poles IS feet long,
malting a derrick similar to one some
times used for stacking hay. To do
the scalding use n pair of tacklo
blocks, setting a barrel or scalding
vat under the center of tho poles and
doing the lifting with tho tackle. A
platform for scraping is of course nec
essary. The next step is to set up a revolv
ing or turning pole with two cross
arms, ns shown in the cut. The cross
arms should he mortised in and held
firmly in place by bolts. Tho bottom
Hog Dressing Device,
of the pole should have an iron pin
driven into it, and a hole bored in the
crosspiece at the bottom, into which
the pin fits, to hold the polo in place
as it is turned. A hole is also bored
In the upright pole high enough to in
sert a stick of hardwood or irontbar
to turn tho pole so that the arms
above swing under the derrick and
out again as the hogs are dressed and
hung thereon. The dressed carcass is
lowered onto one of the arms from the
derrick, the tackle removed, and
the hog swung around out of the way.
In this way four hogs are killed, the
last one can be left hanging on the
tackle.
Selecting Breeding Ewes.
See to it that the ewes for breed
ing purposes are not thin and emaci
ated, for if one has passed through
the feeding season and is in this con
dition there must be something wrong
with her. Make sure that there are
no broken mouthed or aged ones in
your flock; neither should the ewe be
too fat. A good frame is essential for
the producing of healthy progeny. The
open market is the best place to se
lect your stock, unless some neighbor
can accommodate you with a surplus
from his ilock. The beginner should
nover select his ewes without having
along a competent Judge of sheep who
will advise with him as to selections.
Sheep Good Property Now.
Our sheepmen seem to be feeling
good almost everywhere. Good prices
for wool, a strong demand for finish
ed mutton and away up figures for
feeders, along with the present high
tariff duties agreed to for some years
to come, all tend to give stability and
promise to a business that is all too
apt to be affected by little things.
Sheepmen can confidently go ahead
now, laying a good foundation to
their business, confident that they
cannot make a mistake in putting
good money into good rams and good
feed nnd care into tho whole flock.
The outlook is certainly the best sll
around that it has been for years.
Horse Sense.
A temper under control is an in
valuable asset to tho stockman.
Feeding heavy at night doesn't
wake up for a light feed in the morn
ing. Feed regularly.
Many good horses are ruined by be
ing brought in too hot and allowed to
stand in a strong draught.
The colt which is handled right and
carefully trained will never have to
be broken, in the sense that word is
eo often used.
Whenever possible clean the horse
outside the stables so that tho' same
dirt and germs cannot get on them
again.
Disposing of Old Horses.
It is a much-mooted question as to
what should be done with the old
horses. The veriest horse crank- alive
would hardly advocate keeping nil of
them, but in tho name of ordinary,
evary-dny humnulty don't keep the
faithful friends until past their useful
ness, and then let them go for a song
to some huckster.
Feed for Growing Hogs.
Growing pigs require different feed
from fattening hogs, though nearly as
much of it. A pig should havo food
that stimulates growth, bono, flesh
and muscle forming foods richer In
protein than In fats. Mill;, 3r.rt3,
peas, oats and clover with a slight
allowance of corn make a good pig or
shoat ration.
Wisconsin's greatest hog man tells
of carrying CO hogs through tho sea
son on 10 acrea.of good clover without
grain. They galnea little In weight
but considerable In framo and would
have done batter with a little grain.

Theme:
FISHING FOR SOULS.
BY THEODORE L. CUYLER, D. D.
-1-
Jesus Christ commissions Ills ser
vants to bo "fishers of men." A good
motto for ministers nnd Christian
people everywhere, nnxlous for lnrgest
results, lies In Christ's command to
Petor on the shore of Galileo: "Launch
out Into the deep!" Peter's reply to
his Master was that they had been
tolling all night nnd had caught no
fish; "nevertheless, Lord," he says,
"atThy word I will let down tho net."
He was despondent, but not despair
ing. Tho command of his Lord is
enough to rally his faith. To the oyo
of faith many things are clear that
to the eye of sense aro exceedingly
dark. Faith sets tho bow of Peter's
little smack toward tho deep water;
the fish aro there, and not in the shoal
water near the shore. So out Into tho
deep they pull; down goes tho net,
and lo! such a great multitude of
fishes aro enclosed that two boats are
required to bring the abundant haul
safely to land.
Here is a lesson for pastors, Sunday-school
teachers, parents and all
who long for the salvation of souls.
Perhaps last year was not a year of
success. Failure in any ' good under
taking is a calamity; It often breaks
the neck of a weak Christian's cour
age. Failure ought to provoke a true
Christian to fresh ardor, and new at
tempts to retrieve tho losses of tho
past. Failure has a reason for It, and
it ought to stir every honest heart to
the solemn inquiry: Whose fault was
it? God does not break His promises.
His injunction is: Be not weary in
your good work, for In due season ye
shall reap. If ye faint not. Shallow
interest, shallow feeling, shallow pray
ing, catch no fish for the Master.
The minister who longs to convert
souls must lay hold of the deep truths
of God, and strive to penetrate the
depths of the hearts before him. Down
in the bottom of the unconverted
heart is the lurking depravity, the be
setting sin, or the unbelief that keeps
the sinner from Christ; and the truth
must go deep to reach the roots. It
must uproot the sin to make conver
sion thorough. My brother, you will
need strong doctrine to do this. Phil
lips Brooks well said that "no exhorta
tion to a good life that does not put
behind it some truth as deep as eter
nity, can seize and hold the con
science." Preach all the doctrine your
Bible gives you, and in love to the
sinner's soul.
Fishing for souls is a personal work.
It is not confined to the pulpit; every
man or woman who possesses faith
and an ardent love of Jesus should en
gage in it It is not a "professional"
business, restricted to a few, and to
be done in a set fashion. Nor Is it to
be accomplished only by a whole
church employing a huge net to bring
in a multitude of converts at a single
draught. Sometimes a powerful and
general revival does this. But conver
sions follow individual effort with in
dividual hearts. A pastor often ac
complishes as much by an hour of
close friendly conversation ns by
an hour of public preaching. The
Sunday-school teacher can reach his
or her scholars most effectually by a
private visit, and a faithful talk with
each member of the class. Personal
work does the business; each flaher
must drop his own hook; baited with
love. No one is scolded to Christ, yet
an unconverted person will bear a
tromondously searching talk if It is
conducted in a frank, tender spirit and
unmistakably prompted by affection.
Tho real aim must be persuasion, that
Is, to persuade the sinnor to let go his
sin and to lay hold of Jesus. He is
wise that winneth souls.
Pastors, teachers and church mem
bers aro too often reluctant to take
hold of the "hard cases." Sometimes
they are dismissed as past saving. The
fish that bite readily nre easily caught,
but that Inveterate Sabbath-breaker,
or thnt Jiard drinker, or that open
scoffer, aro too often passed by ns
hopeless. That w.-ts not the fashion
of Peter and his fellow-fishermen, nor
should it bo ours. The Almighty
Spirit which subdued Saul of Tarsus
will attend us if, with strong faith, wo
grapple with the most chronic cases
of open Impenitence. Sometimes
theso "hopeless cases" yield the soon
est, far sooner than some decorous
churchgoers who havo become hard
ened under a thousand sermons nnd
through many seasons of rovlval; and
when a conspicuously irreligious per
son Is converted, tho effect upon tho
community is all tho more pbworful.
One thing Is certain, and that la thnt
those Christians who in their daily
conduct, live nearest to Clirlst, will
win tho most converts to Hlra. Let
us launch out Into the deep, and lot
us remember that the socrot of sue
ccse on Galileo was that Jesus was
on board tho vessel,
Out of tho silent loneliness of the
heart, tho prayer of confosslon rises
to tho Fatherhood of God. The wolght
Is lifted off tho soul. . . . Half
the wolght of the secret pain lifted
off; we begin to feel ashamed of hav
ing despaired of life; we begin to feel
tho duty of forgetting sin and pressing
forward Into the work of righteous
ness. This is the blessed work of
prayer to God, of simply entrusting to
him all. Stoppord Droolc.
Ancient Iceland.
Iceland was founded A. D. 874, by
men from Norway. In tho words of
John Flake, "It was such a wholesale
colonization of picked men ns had not
been noon since nnclent Greek times,
and was not to be seen ngaln until
Wintb.rop sailed In'o Massachusetts
Bry, It was not long before the popu

crops were heavy, a llvoly trade with

The Cat "Yumped."
The Nlckllugtons, suburban house
holders, brought back from tho beach
a cat which the Swedish mold discov
ered there and had gradually educated
to pome athletic tricks, Mr. NIckling
ton was endeavoring to demonstrate
to visitors what had been tnught. Mak
ing a hoop of his arms he invited the
cat to leap through the opening.
"Jump I jump! Jump!" he bade tho
feline coaxlngly. Kitty never stirred,
1 but turned away In Indifference.
Tho maid arrived. Nicklington ex
pressed his disappointment. Tho
maid, Olg'a, insisted that It could per
form and would.
"Here," she commanded to the cat.
"Come, yump! yutup! yump!"
The cat yumped through, Hthely
and gracefully.
Cableways.
The ufce of eabloways for a large
variety of purposes js an Interesting
development of modern engineering.
Such ways aro employed on tho Pana
ma Canal, the steel cables being sup
ported by lofty movable towers. The
present limit of span Is more than
2,500 feet, and the speed of the con
veyors may exceed 1,800 feet per min
ute. Such ways span gorges, valleys,
roads, railways, and obstructions of
many kinds. The system is used for
building dams, by dumping In a stream
beneath: hauling logs from booms by
means of cables stretched above the
river; running blocks out of quarries
up inclined cableways; dredging chan
nels: piling lumber, steel plates and
bo'ims on cars, and various kinds of
exeavr.tiTig.
Bacteria Affected by Glass.
From the Investigations of a Ger

are affected favorably or otherwise by
the character of the glass containing
the water in which they are suspend

Marked differences in the behavior of
tho cholera germs were noted, accord
ing to the kind of glass composing the
vessels used. The degree of alkalin

Is believed to be an Important factor
