Parson Knew Better.
Uncle Jim Sugarfoot killed a fine
rabbit for the entertainment of Parson
lleavegrace, who was expected to
dinner, but as rabbits were out of
season, he thought to avoid what
might prove an embarrassing situa-
tion by making the parson think it
was chicken he was eating.
"Brother lleavegrace." said Uncle
Jim, when It came time for a second
helping, "what part of de bird would
you like now?"
With a merry twinkle in his half-
closed eyes, Parson lleavegrace re-
plied:

SUGGESTIONS REGARDING HOG CHOLERA
Excellent Specimen of Healthy Hog.
HIS TALE OF TROUBLE
YOUNG MAN LOUD IN DEMAND
OF NEEDED CHANGES.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Keep posted concerning the condi-
tion and health of hogs on your neigh-
bors' farms, advises the department
of agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor-
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the terms of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet of men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly in or-
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
ly discovered.
If any hogs In the herd are found to
be "off feed" or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd, and keep
them and the main her«S under close
observation dally. If there Is a ten-
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble Is probably hog chol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
End brace plate, ten Inches wide,
nine Inches high.
Casters, six inches in diameter, 1%-
inch face, extra strong caster socket.
Base frame two Inches by one-quar-
ter-inch angle iron.
Great Damage Caused by the Chinch
Bug.
The department of agriculture states
that chinch bugs in 60 yeara have
probably caused a loss of $350,000,000
to the American farmers. The bugs
are more effectively destroyed during
the winter months than later when
they have left their winter quarters.
The burning of dry grass, leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields Is the best method of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug is distributed gen
erally throughout the United States
except in the extreme West, and has
described in Farmers' Bulletin 379 oi Particular damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west.
The greatest losses from the Insect
have been In Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky.
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Wis-
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska.
Oklahoma and texas. The bug when
full grown Is about one-fifth of an Inch
In length. It Is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids in
the destruction of the bug. This is
particularly effective to the north-
ward. In the Middle west, when the
grass Is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences so
that It cannot be burned. Leaving the
thousands. Dismiss from your , ground bare of vegetation peimits the
the department.
When the first symptoms of sick-
neBB are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble This Is particularly true
of swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease to spread in
the herd do not temporize, but imme-
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board. Prompt administra-
tion of the serum is essential to sue
cess.
Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill
mind all thought of such diseases as
"lung plague," "Infectious pneumonia,"
"pig typhoid," for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given to
hog cholera by uninformed men.

weather, which kills them. It is often

bugs before they enter the young

Hard as It Is Sometimes to Get Into
a Flat, He Found It Very Much
Harder to Get Out
of It
"I think," said this young man. with
great emphasiB on the personal pro-
noun, "that there ought to be on the
inner side of the exit door of every
fiat, just as there is required by law
to be on every exit door from a
theater, a conspicuous sign plainly let-
tered Exit.' Ill tell you why.
"Last night I called on a young
lady of my acquaintance who lives in
a flat and I passed a very pleasant
evening. But when I tried to go
away I got into trouble. The parlor
in this flat is at the front end of a
hall that, I should think, speaking
moderately, was 60 feet long. On ono
side of this long hall there is a solid
wall, but on the other side there are
numerous doors, opening, I suppose,
into sleeping rooms. There is one
such door directly opposite the door
by which you enter this flat from the
outer hall. It was by confusing that
last bedroom door with the exit door
which it faces that I got lost.
"There was a time when folks used
to escort their guests to the door and
say good-by or good-night to them
there, but it seems that the present
style Is to say good-night in the parlor
and let the guest find his way out,
and that's what happened to me last
night.
"When I struck the parlor end of
that long hall 1 thought I could find
my way all right. There was the long
hall, with the wall on one side and
that string of doors on the other, all
Just as it was when I came in, and it
looked easy. But when I got down to
the far end of It I'm blessed If I could
remember which side of it I came in
at, and instead of taking the door to
my right, as I should have done. 1
opened the left hand door, and—
'"Hey, there! What's bitln' you?
Get out of here!" I heard somebody
saying.
"Of course it was the young lady's
kid brother. He had been In the
parlor a little while earlier in the
evening and then disappeared, and I
knew now that he must have gone to
bed and that I had broken into his
room trying to find my way out.
" 'All right youngster,' I says to
him as gayly as I could, but I shut
his door as quickly as possible and
made for the door opposite and got
out Into the hall and pressed the ele
vator button for an emergency call—
and I didn't come to fully until I had
got out of the house Into the open air
"There ought to be a plainly let
tered 'Exit' sign on the Inner side of
every flat house exit door."

SUCCULENT FEED FOR SHEEP
Most Flockmasters Have Been Slow
In Experimenting With Silage—
Must Be Fed Properly.
(By K. L. SHAW.|
The use of this succulent feed for
sheep has attracted the attention of !
most farmers only during the past
few years. Although a few sheepman
fed silage many years ago with good
result, most flockmasters have been
slow in giving It a trial Owing to
the wonderful Increase In the use of
silos on farms, and owing to the
cheapness of silage as compared with
other succulent feeds, such as roots,
farmers are constantly raising the
question regarding the feeding of si-
lage to sheep A great deal has been
said of Its bad effects upon sheep, but
these have arisen either because an
Inferior quality of silage was fed or
on account of carelessness on the part
of the feeder In not feedlug it prop-
erly.
A good quality of silage Is eitreme-
ly palatable and can be fed to sll
classes of sheep vUb good results. U
must be borne In mind, however, that
silage which is either very bout, moldy
or frozen should not be fed.
The amount of silage reported In
feeding trials varies from one to five
pounds per head per day. The amount
to feed depends upon the class of
sheep and the character of the other
feeds comprising the ration. As a gen-
eral rule from two to four pounds per
head per day Is considered as much
as should be fed.
Spraying Fruit Trees.
It is not necessary to apply arsen-
ate of lead, parts green or other ar-
senical poison to fruit trees, except
when the trees are In leaf. These
materials are poisons, used to destroy
Insects which eat the foliage and fruit
Because of this, these poisons do no
good at times when the leaves are off
the trees.

Catering to All.
A Boston merchant tells of an old
grocer in Massachusetts who was
about as "slick" an article as one
would care to meet.
"One day," said the Bostonian, "I
stopped before his ehop and looked
curlosuly at a long line of barrels of
apples, some marked with an 'A,'
some marked with a 'Z.'
" 'What is the meaning of these
markings?' I asked. 'The barrels
seem to contain the same kind of
applee.'
" 'They are the same kind, son,'
the old gentleman replied, 'but some
customers want a barrel opened at
the top and some at the bottom.'"
