P. Spalding was here Monday on business. Judge Spalding has had an experience in raising hogs that demonstrates that a practical man makes money when he attends to his swine. During the year 1911 Judge Spalding had the misfortune to have cholera strike his swine herd. When the battle was over he had seventeen sows- twelve old ones and five gilts and one boar shoat left.

He has not bought a hog since that time. During the year 1912 he sold $795 worth of hogs, the product of these seventeen sows, killed thirteen big ones for meat and lard and has one hundred hogs left. We call that some management and some hog raising. Wm. A.

Conn, west of New London, had a similar experience. In 1911 he lost all his hogs save a little red gilt. During the past year, from this one little gilt, he has raised and sold $222 worth of hogs and has eleven on hand that will average about 130 pounds each, besides his sow. That is going some, too. Let's hear the experiences of other bog raisers.

Ralls County Times. What Scouting Does for the Boy. The difference between Boy Scouts and boys who are not is told in an interesting way by Daniel Carter National Scout Commissioner of the Boy Scouts of America. "Recently," he said, "the house of my sister-inlaw in Brooklyn caught fire. By the time the fire was out the children were out of school.

The boys and girls gathered around. Presently one lad, who was a Scout, went up to my sister-in-law and asked her if there was anything he The Homeward Way. Through the valley and up the bill Lies the homeward path I follow: The frosty night comes swift and chill And the mists are white in the hollow, Low in the west the sunset's roses Brighten and fade as the long day closes. amn cold and weary and half afraid, In the dusk of the lonely valley; glance behind me, half dismayed Lest the ghosts and shadows rally. Dark before me the village lies, Silent against the paling skies But suddenly out of the gloom before.

I see the home lights burning, Good cheer streams out from an open door, To welcome the one returning: And all forgotten the lonely way, am safe at home at the close of day. Life is a journey toward fading skies, And oft does the stout heart tremble, When sorrow and trouble like specters rise, And the ranks of woes assemble. We are travelers all, and the night is chill, And the way is lonely and up the hill. But some time, out of the dark and cold, Where we wander alone and weeping, A light will break, and a gate unfold, And out of it music sweepingThen all forgotten the lonely way, Home at last, and the break of day! The Identification Complete. In his New York speech before the Southern society, Governor Wilson, speaking of panics, said: "The machinery is in existance by which the thing can be deliberately done.

Frankly, I don't believe there is any man living who dares to use machinery for that purpose. If he does. I promise him, not for myself, but for my fellow countrymen, a gibbet as high as Haman's." He doesn't mention any names but several prominent financiers were seen to dodge when they read it. The identification is as complete as it was in the case of the poker player, a one eyed man, who was suspected of cheating. Another man at the table stood it as long as he could and then courteously remonstrated: "I do not mean to be peronal, but if the man who has been cheating cheats any more I'll shoot his other eye out." -Bryan's Commoner.

They worked busily, gathering up the rubbish that had been caused by the fire, and soon had the yard in an orderly condition. Meantime, boys who were not Scouts were standing around idling." Ella Ewing, Tallest Woman in the World Dies. Quincy, Jan. Ella Ewing, the Missouri giantess, said to be the tallest woman in the world, died at her home near Gorin, not far from this city, today at the age of 40 years.

Miss Ewing was 8 feet 3 inches tall and for many years traveled with the circuses as a freak attraction. She was well known in Knox county and northeast Missouri in general. She appeared in practically every town in that portion of the state, including Hannibal. The giantess was born and raised in Knox county and proudly claimed that she was the tallest woman in the entire world. Her services as a freak attraction for services were in demand throughout the country.

She received big salaries during her career in the show world. Arrangements for the funeral are being made. A specially built casket will be required for her remains which will probably be buried in Gorin. Rose Petals Instead of Rice. Since the safe and sane 4th has been so admirably launched, there should be a movement for the safe and sane speeding of the departing been traced to the throwing of rice and old slippers.

Like other old customs, it may be modified with benefit. Confetti, the earliest substitute for rice, is less painful, but newer and more poetical are flower petals to throw after the bride. These may be bought from the florist, or can be fashioned from tissue paper. A pretty idea is to use petals of the bride's favorite flower. They may be heaped on a big salver and passed among the guests while the bride is changing her frock.

Another novelty for the safe and sane good luck speeding are tiny horseshoes, slippers, hearts and rabbit's feet and other charms cut in silver paper. These can be bought but are easily prepared at home. They are cunning when used as place card favors in small pasteboard boxes. An extra supply of the wedding cake boxes, marked with the initials of the bride and groom, may be ordered for this purpose. One original maid of honor prepared soft balls for the wedding party, made of cotton covered with silvered paper, on which were painted various mottoes appropriate to the occasion.

A slipper of silver paper, marked with the initials of the bride and groom, and the date of the wedding, was prepared for each of the bridal party and passed on a tray while waiting for the bride to -K. C. Star. Treatment of Carrier Diseases. The treatment of disease carriers from the view point of Preventive Medicine is two-fold, first, their isolation; second, their cure.

When normal people, they cease to spread the disease in question. The normal people then have no means of coming in contact with the infection. This may be illustrated by the work done in some of the large State Hospitals where formerly ty- I phoid fever was present a great portion of the year. All of the patients were examined and the typhoid carriers detected and put in a ward so that they no longer came in contact with the normal patients. Typhoid fever then ceased to develop.

This is a conclusive demonstration of the danger of typhoid carriers in the community and the possibility of preventing typhoid fever by isolation of the typhoid carriers. Naturally in a community the ty: phoid carriers, even when detected, cannot be isolated. The question is what should be done with them, There are two ways of dealing with them so that they may not be a menace to society. First, teach them how to protect well people from coming in contact with infected matter arising from their systems; second, treat them with the purpose of freeing them from disease germs so that they again become normal people. Address questions on prevention of diseases to Preventive Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia.
