A Hindu mind reader found hla out fit In bad shape one day and was obliged to enlist the service of a tele phone man to again place him on “ speaking terms" with the occult world.

To the under side of the rug eighteen turns of copper wire in the form of a coil were carefully sewed, the two ends passing through the wall at the floor and into the next room.

Quite often I have heard the com plaint of sows eating their pigs, and only a short time ago a neighbor of mine had a fine brood sow to eat her pigs Immediately after farrowing. Now this is not natural for a sow to io so, and when they do there is a reason for it, If that reason Is only looked for. Sows by nature are not cannibals ind if they are In good physical con- Jition they will care for their young ind raise them in the proper way. On the other hand if she is nervous ind fretful at farrowing time she Is ipt to eat her pigs, but when they nave the run of good pasture and are properly fed and cared for they sel- lom eat their offspring. If a sow Is compelled to live in tne barnyard, sleep in manure piles or itraw stacks, and only fed a little dry corn she is apt to be feverish, con- itipated and have but very little milk, ind in such cases she is likely to eat ber pigs or lie on them and smother them before they are old enough to iuck. I have a large basement under my barn where the frost Is never seen and in case the weather is very cold I give my sows a good, warm, dry pen in this basement. I don’t care about the pen being over large, a pen sixteen feet square is large enough for four sows up to two weeks before [arrowing, after which I place each sow In a separate pen with her pigs. I like this pen to be ten feet square with light bedding, cut straw Is pref erable. The best food for a brood sow Is wheat middlings, the coarser the bet ter, or wheat bran and middlings may be mixed half and half. This should be wet to a stiff mass with milk, house slops or water, where It Is available skim milk Is the best for this purpose. Besides this she will eat and should have plenty of clover or alfalfa hay; it is surprising the amount of clover hay that a sow will eat, especially to those that have never fed the same to hogs; in addition to this 1 always feed my brood sows about four or five pounds of sugar beets to every hun dredweight per day; I feed them whole for the purpose of giving the sow exercise in eating them, some advise the feeding of raw apples but I do not like to feed any great amount of them especially if they are sour. One winter I kept six sows in the same pen and fed them the following rations per day: Twenty-seven pounds of sugar beets, ten pounds coarse middlings and all tbe clover hay they would eat, and they came out in shape that was hard to beat and raised forty-seven nice healthy Willamette Valley Chautauqua Plans — . ^Portland.
