“Hogging Down” Corn.
Unless Nebraska has an unusually
favorable fall this year, there will be
soft corn in many localities when the
first killing frost comes. Such corn is
hard to keep in cribs and very difficult
to market. Bearing these facts in
mind, the Animal Husbandry Depart
ment of the College of Agriculture
says that serious consideration should
be given the hogging down of corn.
By this method of feeding not only can
the labor involved in harvesting corn
be reduced to a minimum but more
pork can be produced from a bushel of
corn.
In answer to an inquiry sent out by
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
Station, 158 farmers reported that bj
hogging down corn they were able to
make a saving of 6.89 cents a bushel.
Pigs should not be put into the corn
field until the corn is dented. If they
are put in earlier, the maximum food
value of the corn cannot be obtained.
The exercise that pigs get from run
ning in the cornfield helps to enable
them to maintain health and to develop
rugged constitutions. By reason of
added thrift, pigs fed by this system
can be subsequently finished more
rapidly for the market than pigs fed
in the dry lot.
Queer Quirks of News.
Montgomery, Ala.—Mrs. Mary
Brandon, 91 years old, saw her first

London, Eng.—The natives of Mor
occo are taming wild camels by allow
ing them to smoke cigars. A hole is
drilled in a piece of wood, in which a
cigar is placed and put in the camel’s
mouth. As long as he is smoking he
is tractable, but when the cigar is
finished, he immediatedly becomes wild
again.
San Francisco, Cal. — Mabel B.
Barnes, a waitress, spilled soup on the
shirt-front of Charles D. Powell,
millionaire Birmingham business man.
She blushed and apologized. Their
eyes met. They will be married soon.
Berkley, Cal.—Beatrice Millard, 7
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Leon Willard, is a mental marvel.
She spoke sentences when 10-months
old. At 3, she wrote. At 5 she was
reading Stevenson and Kipling and
passed the Binet mental test for adults
At 7 years, with less than a year’s
schooling, she is ready to enter high
school.
Denver, Colo.—Pearl Sharpe Frank
lin, white wife of a full-blooded negro,

ess, so that her white daughter may

woman’s husband is opposing the mar
riage, claiming the girl is whit* and
should not marry a negro.
Allerton, Pa.—John L. Detweiler of
Skippack township and his wife are
both deaf. Their dog, however, seems
to know their affliction, and warns
them when the butcher, the mail car
rier or the baker stops at the door.
Clarksburg, W. Va.—The 18-months
child of Mrs. Harry Wolf, when
operated on recently, was discovered
to have a frog weighing more than
half a pound in his stomach. It is
believed the child drank a tadpole in s
glass of water, which thrived on the
milk fed the child and developed.
Southwestport, Mass.—Mr. and Mrs
Charles Wing, married for fifty-twc

Williamsburg, Va., in an address de
clared that religous revivals, camp
meetings and Billy Sunday revivals
are fruitful sources of insanity. The
women are especially affected, said
Dr. Price.
Evenly Matched.
Brooklyn Eagle: “You havn’t any
serious or organic trouble,” said the
young physician, cheerfully.
“You are a little nervous and run
down, that’t all. Take more exercise
eat less and forget your troubles.”
The hypochondriac snorted.
“Young man,” he demanded, his
voice shaking, “how long have you
been a doctor?”
“I took my degree three years ago,”
answered the medico.
“And I am an invalid of 25 years’
experience. Who are you to disagree
with me?”

Billiousness and Constipation.
It is certainly surprising that any
woman will endure the miserable
feelings caused by billiousness and
constipation, when relief is so easily
had and at so little expense. Mrs.
Chas. Peck, Gates, N. Y., writes.
“About a year ago I used two bottles
of Chamberlain’s Tablets and they
cured me of billiousness and consti
pation.” Obtainable everywherp.
Gossip.
Gossip! The very name has a
nasty sound. You’ll find her sneak
ing into the stores, the school room,
the churches and societies. You’ll find
her masquerading under the name of
friendship. You’ll find her leaning
over the back fence or edging in be
tween husband and wife. No place is
sacred to her. She blackens the char
acter of men and women and of in
nocent girls. She ruins the careers
of young men. Suppose a man or
women is not as you are or as you
may think they should be. Do you
know you are right ? Let other people
think as they believe they should think,
whether it is about politics or religion
or morals. Don’t gossip about them,
Hell may be paved with good inten
tions, but the supporting pillars are
the gossipers.
