What becomes of those secret serv ice men when the president makes love?

KELLTj The question which breed of swine to select for the economic pro duction of pork is perhaps of less im portance today than in the past. The leading swine breeders have be gun to recognize the fact that they must shape their favorite breeds to meet market demands. As a natural result, the type of all the leading breeds now conforms to a fixed stand- s. b it J J mmm Healthy, Well-Muscled Hog. ard that meets the demands of the packing houses. The hog that best meets the de mand of the present time is a well: muscled hog, that will supply a fair amount of lard, and fat meat well marbled with lean, and be ready for market at any desired ago. Practical pig growers, and feeders of market hogs look for good quality, depth, length and width of form, and uniformity of type, regardless of the breed, color and characteristic mark ings. However, It is essential that we se lect our breeding animals from some well-establshed breed, for promiscu ous mating of swine of various types has a tendency to destroy the types of all the breeds employed in the crosBos and to throw away the result of years of systematic selecting and raiting, and perpetuate a certain fixed pe in the breed. This point , has ueen illustrated by mating a half Po land China and half Chester White sow with a pure-bred Berkshire boar. The pigs resulting from the cross were red, spotted, speckled and striped, showing that the improved type of all three used in the cross was lost, and with it the improvements in color and markings. The result was the return of the off spring by the principle of heredity to the original scrub type. CARING FOR AILING ANIMALS Syringe Invented by Illinois Man for Dosing or Inoculating Horses, Cows and the Like. The Scientific American, in describ ing a syringe invented by H. 1 Cal houn of Dow. says: "Calhoun's invention relates to syringes, particularly to the type used for dosing or inoculating animals, such as horses, cows and the like, and the main object thereof is to provide a Syringe for Dosing Animals. syringe which is provided with means for automatically discharging the con tents, and the means for manually controlling said discharge; means whereby a person may manipulate a syringe of relatively large size with one band while being free to employ the other for other purposes." HOGS INFESTED WITH WORMS Many Owners Never Suspect Anything Wrong Until His Animals Show Visible Signs of Sickness. Some hog growers positively know their hogs are not infested with worms, although they have never giv en them anything to prevent them. Some think their hogs are all right in this respect. The downright truth is that 90 per cent of the hogs are infested with worms and the owner never suspects until his hogs show signs of sickness. It pays to be on the safe side all the time in this regard. Keep Pure-Bred Males. When live stock is a factor on the farm make every field heg-tigbt. and sheep-tight; have thoroughly good per manent pastures; grow leguminous crops; build a silo; and keep only pure-bred males. These five things are absolutely essential in the eco nomical production of live stock. Function of Live Stock. It is an important function of live stock on the farm to furnish a market for the crops grown, enabling farmers to convert the grasses, forage crops, legumes, and so on, into higher-priced finished products and to return to the soil the plant food taken from It. Dcn't Swear at Horses. Dont swear at the horses it doea no good, as they can't understand that language. The light struck Britherby's glasses at such an angle that they presented nothing but a flash ing blank to Oral lup. Behind the glasses Britherby's eye at the moment were resting on the Janeway bungalow across the street, but Grallup did not know that and he stiffened indignantly and passed bis new neighbor with a stu diously averted gaze. The next time they met neither took the least notice of the other. Grallup remarked to his wife that that fellow who had bought out Korker's equity evidently wsb a cut or two above Bib berly Heights or thought he was. Brltherby, a day or two later, vu talking to Morfew, whose house is be tween Grallup's and the former Korker place. "Who's your distinguished neighbor on the north?" he asked. "The nabob of the place, I presume. I think I made a mistake in not asking his per mission to butt in here, lie seems to resent it" "Nonsense!" said Morfew. "That's Billy Grallup. Nothing of the nabob about Billy. Great chap, Billy. Youll like him when you know him. "I don't believe I'd want to know him," said Brltherby. Morfew meant, to ask Grallup what he had been doing to his face, but for got it and so the feeling between Brltherby and Grallup remained and grew. In course of time they were in troduced and acknowledged the intro duction as coldly as politeness al lowed. After that they bowed scru pulously when they met It was early last fall that the pas sive hostility of the two men became active to the verge of tragedy. One Btlll, calm night, somowhere about twelve o'clock, Grallup waa aroused from an uneasy slumber by the bark of a dog. "Confound it!" exclaimed Grallup. I wonder whose darned dog that is. I wish I was within good shotgun range of it and had the shotgun." A quick successlon'of staccato barks seemed to answer his thoughts with defiance. Grallup got up and leaned out of the window, listened a minute, closed the window and said something Improper. "I might have known it," he contin ued, savagely. "He's about the only man In the suburb who would main tain a nuisance like that." He tried to Ignore the noise, but the closed window had.only slightly dulled it and it was too maddeningly irreg ular. He bounded out of bed and into his slippers, threw a coat over his shoulders and, stopping only to take a couple of croquet mallets from a closet in the hall, hurried out of the house and ran down the street toward Brith erby's. The barking had stopped, but he knew where to go. He was almost at Morfew's when he was aware of a ghostly white-clad fig ure hastening toward him. The next moment he was face to face with Brltherby, who was In pajamas and carrying a baseball bat. For an Instant they glared at each other In the moonlight. Then Hrith erby spoke: "So you thought it was about time to fo something, did you?" he snarled. "I should think it was, myself. A man who will keep a dog like that I've got my opinion of, any way." "What are you talking about?" de manded Grallup. "I'm after that In fernal dog that's been barking his head off in your yard all night, if you want to know. Do you mean to say it isn't your dog?" "I never owned a dog in my life," said Britherby. "I thought it was your deg and I was going to take the liberty of .killing him and you, too, if you offered any objection." "I had much the same idea," sn.ld Grallup. "But if it isn't your dog. whose " Furious barking interrupted him. It came from the rear of Morfow'8 house. ."So it's his dog!" said Britherby. "Now, what do you think of that!" "I think as you do," said Grallup. grimly. "Morfew's a good man in some respects, but this Is an outrage. I suppose he's lying there snoring!" "I'll tell you." said Brltherby, pois ing his club. "It you'll stand by me I'll batter his door down and if h,e doesn't get up and kill the beast, we will." "I'll Just go you on that proposi tion," said Grallup. They pounded until Morfew came to an upper window and asked them what the dickens they wanted. "We want you to . come down and do something with that dog of yours," said Britherby. "You've no business keeping a brute like that around," supplemented Gral lup severely. "Have you two been drinking or are you Just plain crasy?" asked Morfew. "Routing a man out of his rest at this time of night! That's not my dog, you lunatics. I don't own a dog.'' He slammed down the window. The two laughed. Then Britherby shivered. "You'd better come back with me," suggested Grallup. "I've got some medicine that's good for that and you can wear my overcoat home.'' "Thanks, old nan." said Britherby. "Any other time IH be delighted, but I guess I'll get back to bed new." He held out his hand and Grallup grasped it cordially. "Good night, old chap." said Oral fup. "Ill see you la the morning, then." Chicago Daily News. REQUISITES OF GOOD H0RS3 Well-Bred Mars Is Splendid lnv rnent for Any Farmer Cat Colt Only From Best Stock. (By W.

Bear In mind in breeding horses thai it is just as essential to breed goo4 feet on to them as to get weight an4 blood in them. The purebred mare is a good Invest ment to the small farmer, and if haj will allow her to share the work of the place she will do nearly as much; work as a gelding, and raise a goo4 colt besides.

UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK Device Patented by Illinois Man Is Ee pecially Good for Hogs May Be Moved Easily. Handling of live stock, especially hogs that are ready for market, is oft times cruel and a cause of real fina cial loss to the shipper because ol lack of unloading facilities at the local stock yards. An Illinois farmer hae patented the unloading chute sliowa here. It is strong and yet light enough to be moved freely about bo that hogs may be unloaded from the wagon on te the level ground. Cleats prevent slip ping of an animal that is coming down the chute, thus reducing the post ibilP ties of broken legs and bruises. The chute may be folded up and carried oa Chute for Live Stock. the load of stock, or put buck o t of the way when not in use.

DRENCHING DROVE OF H3GS Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into Pen Where They Will Have B.t Little Room to Move In. The quickest and i-asiest way te drench a drove, of hog3 is to drive thoTu into a small pen where they will have but little room to move nbout. To hold the animal while drenching it a noose of sash cord or quarter inch rope can be placed around the upper jaw, well back toward the angles of tho Hps, and the medicine thrown into the back part of the mouth with a dose syringe. As there is danger of a hog breaking a syringe it is best to use a metal one. Some times when the drench is bulky and the hog hard to hold, It is necessary to elevate the head and raise the fore feet off the ground. For this purpose a pulley and rope wire stretcher is recommended. It should be hung la the most convenient part of the pea and the animal secured in the usual way by placing a noose around the jaw. The end of the rope is thrown over the hook in the lower pulley and the hog drawn up until it is almoat off the floor. It is best to wait till the hog hae become quiet, well under control, before giving it the drench, as there is some danger of the medi cine getting into the air passages and doing harm. For Fattening Sheep, Peas are strongly recommended for fattening sheep. When red In combi nation with either corn, barley or oats, equal parts, better gains are made than when elthei of the above cereals la fed alone. This is especially true where timothy hay or corn stover la fed as a roughage. I ! 1
