I Poland-China Sow and Litter of Pigs.
(By W. H. UNDERWOOD.)
In raising pigs there are several
things, very essential, which are diffi
cult to secure in the right decree in
the winter time, and which sometimes
’make the winter litter rather costly.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
land they must have it for their eco
nomical growth. This has been fully
Idemonstrated by the experiment sta
llions in the different fattening trials,
i jThe cost of the grain in several in
* (stances was almost double with out
eide feeding as compared with a warm
Shelter, all other things being as near
ly equal as was possible.
< Warmth is even more of a neces-
Bity to the suckling pig, and to ob-
Italn that warmth and give the little
(fellow sufficient amount of exercise
is where the difficulty comes in.
It Is an easy matter to make the
bed warm enough, but as soon as the
Elg leaves the nest for exercise out In
le open, it becomes chilly and soon
returns to the warm bed. Not taking
exercise sufficient to keep it from be
coming too fat, thumps follow and
death ensues. An abundance of exer
cise is necessary to avoid the thumps
In young pigs when they are getting
all the milk and other foods they can
eat.
In raising winter pigs there are
Bix really very important things to be
|taken into consideration: Warmth,
exercise, good feed, ventilated quar
ters, sunshine and good blood.
In order to have these a warm and
quite roomy building, which will make
(ventilation easier and allow the pigs
|to play without going out In the open

I
(By R. B. BUCKHAM. Salem. Mass.)
A very small acreage of woodland,
if properly handled, can be made to
yield the necessary fuel for the house
hold, from year to year, and yet main
tain an average growth, or even in
crease in value.
The tree growth of the woodlot
should be encouraged in every possible
way. All dead wood should be con
scientiously removed and added to the
woodpile. It will serve well as excel
lent kindling, at least, and does away
(With cue of the chief sources of dis
ease among growing wood. It has
been proven that a very large per
pentage of all the ailments of forest
trees arises from the decaying dead
wood lying about them.
Thinning correctly is a second re
quisite to making the woodlot most
profitable. Where the standing growth
Is too close! all are compelled to suf
fer for the lack of air and light.
Hence some can well be removed, to
the benefit of the remainder.
Where an area of any dimensions
has been laid bare, it should be re
seeded immediately, if the second
growth does not start satisfactorily.
It is as poor economy to allow parts

sufficiently warm they should be out
of doors as much as possible, es
pecially when the sun shines. Plenty
of sunshine is the greatest disinfectant
and invigorator known.
Some years ago I had a couple of
litters come early In the winter. The
weather was very cold and for want
of a better place to keep them than
the one in which they were farrowed,
I penned up a little corner of the cow;
stable in which were kept at night;
30 head of cattle. The building was
35 by 50 feet, and when ^closed at
night with the cattle in It was quita
comfortable. This proved to be al
most an ideal place for the pigs.
They were given fresh bedding
every night and a fresh supply of bed J
ding put In every day. Those pigS
grew exceedingly fast. /
Under ordinary farm conditions it la
•a doubtful proposition to attempt to
raise many winter pigs with good re
sults, but under special conditions a
few Utters may be made profitable.;
The greatest obstacle is to provide
enough warm space for the pigs to run
about freely without becoming chilled
for lack of sufficient sunshine.
Scours and thumps often cause very’
serious losses among young pigs. The
former is caused usually by over-feed
ing, by providing badly spoiled feed,
by an abrupt change of ration or by
a change In feed that affects the milk
of the dam. The latter is generally
brought about by over-feeding and
lack of exercise.

portion of the farm.
The Increase of the more valuable,
trees should be encouraged, such as;
the oak, pine, hickory and ash. Some !
trbes are of no value, save as stovei
wood, and are poor, even at that.
Yet, strange enough, at the start they
are the most vigorous, and always suc
ceed at making the most rapid growth
at the start; thus holding their own at
the expense of their competitors.,
There^are weeds among trees, as well
as among plants.
Forest tracts are indispensable to.
the welfare and best interests of the;
community. We cannot well do with
out them, because of their salubrious
influence upon the climate, their con
servation of the supply of moisture,
and their value for purifying the at
mosphere, to say nothing of their com
mercial value.
We must look to the farmer for
the presence of the necessary amount
of forest trees. Upon them will fall*
the burden of bearing this responsi
bility.
But that they will profit largely
therefrom is well illustrated by the;
fact that the artificial timber tracts
which already exist In what was for
merly the great, bare, wind-swept
western plains, are already of incal
culable value.

time to say ‘good night’ now.
SAVED OLD LADY’S HAIR
“My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, ‘Aunt, why don’t you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment?’ Mother did and they helped
her. In six months’ time the Itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
‘‘My own case was an eczema in my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would flee to my
mother’s friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any one’s. Ellsworth Dun
ham, Hiram, Me., Sept. 30, 1909.”
What World Lost?
“It was the worst calamity that ever
happened to me,” sighed the pale, in
tellectual, high browed young woman.
“I had written a modern society nov
el, complete to the last chapter, and
a careless servant girl gathered the
sheets of the manuscript from the
floor, where the wind had blown them,
and used them to start a fire in the
grate.”
“What a burning shame that was!”
commented Mrs. Tartan.
Sense of Taste.
From a series of experiments re
cently made at the University of Kan
sas it is evident that the average per
son can taste the bitter of quinine
wheu one part is dissolved in 52,000
parts of water. Salt was detected In
water'when one part to 640 of the
liquid was used. Sugar could be tast
ed in 228 parts of water and common
soda in 48. In nearly all cases women
could detect a smaller quantity than
men.

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His “Boys” Call Him the “General Ad
viser Without' Pay”—He Is
Partial to None.
When a man loves to live he usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such a man is Augustus E. Vaughan,
immaculate of dress and of heart ven
erable in years and usefulness, whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston’ Common or at the Young
Men’s Christian Union.
His specialty is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be a cigarette smoking boy or a rum
sodden and disheartened derelict of a
man. His creed is cheerfulness and
his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in a frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
l.ocks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on. the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many a man he has met
there has later become as clean of
body and heart as himself, and all
through his infectious good nature and
brotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young man of 75 unceasingly
labors he is known as “the general
adviser without pay,” and he is as in
terested in their ambitions as they
can be, and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always one of
them.
Mr. Vaughan is not engaged in ac
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain or
shine, to talk with his "boys,” as he
calls them. Some of these have never
before known a real friend. He is
highly educated, and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-five years ago, and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White of
Mayflower fame.
“I love to live,” said he to me, “and
I want to help ‘the boys’ to enjoy liv J
ing, too.”
Tribute to Painter’s Skill.
One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket of
fruit on which a number of insects
have gathered. On a pale yellow ap
ple, which is the centerpiece In the
cluster of fruit, is a large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
Injured by some one who endeavored
to “shoo” it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. “A
tribute to the painter’s genius,” says
the letter recording the fact, “for which
the work had to suffer.”
Progress In Railroading.
“Yes,” said the lady whose dress
case is covered with strange foreign
labels, “the way railroads run now
labels, “the way railroads are run now
adays is a great improvement over
what they were 50 years ago.”
“But surely you had no experience
as a traveler 50 years ago,” says her
friend.
"I don’t mean that But nowadays,
don’t you notice, when there is a wreck
it is always had at some point conveni
ent to a cluster of farm houses where
the victims can go for coffee and to
get warm?"
Asking Too Much.
“The count has promised that he will
never beat or kick me if I will marry
him,” said the beautiful heiress.
"But has he promised to work for
you?” her father asked.
"Oh, papa, don’t be unreasonable.”
