WHAT OIL MEANS TO U..S. It is 60 years since the flrst ofl well was drilled in Pennsylyania, thus ‘inaugurating the era of ofl, the.Pitts- burgh Gazette-Times observes. The discovery was at once recognized as possessing great value, but there could have been slight appreciation of the mammoth - proportiens to which the industry was destined to grow. .Hailed as an illuminant supplanting candles and whale oll, the business has widened beyond any possible dreams of those who were active in the early days'of ofl. The center of the indus- try has long since departed from the -place of its origin. The Southwest and the Pacific coast, almost: ap-un- known land 1n the Infancy of the.buki- ness, now produce thousands of bar- rels to the original oil regton’s; one. Oil is used as ‘an {lluminatt “on" offl- llons of farms and tn Isolated places all over the world, but that Is no long- er the chief product of crude. Gaso- line, at first a troublesome by-product, 18 now the main result sought. The millions of motor-driven vehicles that ‘have come into existence in the past score of years would not have’ been’ possible had we not had this desirable product to provide an explosive fuel to drive them. i Vast quantities of the crude prod- wuct are used to drive locomotives and ships. The war might not have been won had not the allies had .access. to the flelds of Mexico and the Unlted States. And not only as fuel,does ' the greasy product enter into the” world’s commerce, but as a lubricant | 1t lessens the friction of bearings, from ‘the sewing machine to steamships. The dy-products even entér the realms-of medicine, and while the limit would seem to be reached In utilizing the wacte from the refineries it is possi- ble that further subdivisions may yet ‘increase the number.. The story of oll is a romance that equals the: tale’ nfsteel.ntltlllnlnmtlnjoln; of time compared with the metal that has brought such wealth to Pennsyl- vania. Byron Too Theatrical. In its review of a recent work by the Italian critic, Emilio Cecchi, on English poets of the Nineteenth cen- tury, the London Telegraph says: “On the topic of the most famous controversy between FEuropean and British criticism—the greatness of By- ron—Professor Cecchi takes very de- cidedly the British view, if indeed he 18 not carried so far by his repug- nance to the abundant alloy in By- ron’s poetry, as in his life, as to make too little of the demoniac force which renders his anarchy impressive. Even thst last expedition to Greece, which has commonly been felt to redeem many aberrations, has for our critic the fatal touch of the theater which the man and the poet so rarely es- caped; and he compares him, much to his disadvantage, with that Genoese gentleman who rushed to embark with Garibaldi’s thousand. in evening dress and a crush hat, and in this accouter- ment went to his death at Calatafimi— a De-Mussetlike figure, luminous with its trusting smile, but touched with a purer spirit of religiosity than Byron could have achleved or understood.” End of Coal Deposits Seen. It is calculated that English coal will come to an end in about 900 years, German coal in 1,400 years and Amerl- can coal in 2,000 years. Yet it is consoling to think that for our de- cendants there are possibilities of warmth which are independent of coal, suyu the Manchester Guardian. It may, for instance, be possiblé to har- ness the Niagara falls, the Zambesi, the Congo falls, or even the tides them- selves. Then there is also the theory that only a few miles below the sur- face of the earth there are hugé car- bide deposits, and some day, perhaps, borings will be possible which will then discover an almost limitless source of heat. Finally, it is conceiva- bleé that the problem of the disintegra- tion of matter generally will one day be solved, If a gram of lead could be All| pum—— e i #Prepared by the United States Departe ment of Agriculture.) If every farmer in the United States | who raises hogs—and approximately’ 76 per cent of the six million seven hundred thousand edd American farm- ers do raise hogs—would decrease mortality to the extent of one pig to the litter, the annual increase In the: crop of young squenlers would be 5, 025,000 head. If they were all raised and mnrket- ed at 250 pounds aplece, the yearly increase in pork production would be| 1,256,250,000 pounds. According to the United States department of agri~ culture, experienced and careful - hog: growers raise about seven pigs out of each litter, while the averaxe pork pro- ducer ralses only four. Thys, between farrowing and marketing, there is a loss of three pigs a mm on 'the aver-. age farri. the sows previous to farrowing, com- fortable sanitary quartersfor the dams during farrowing, careful atfention not to overfeed the sows and thus induce digestive disorders among the young pigs, and efforts to develop in the pigs a large, bony framework mther than the fat. 1 thoroughly shelters the porkers, young and old," against wlnd,_rnln, sleet. and._snow,. ls ewsentlnl flnd, spite high prices” ‘ot buflding materialy ‘ft—should ‘be-provided-if-mot-already aviilable, ~Althofigh féeds-are high in’ price it Is necessary to.feed the soW and pigs both adequatelyand :weil. Fortunately, the price of" pork on the hoof is such as to render the *two squares and plenty of filler & dany” a profitable investment. Sanitary Surrounding for. Sorwl. Dry, well-ventilated quarters, which have been disinfected and ¢leaned up' for the reception of the pig crop, should be provided for every -sow which is to farrow. A guard rail, made of 2 by 4inch pieces set four inches’ from the sides of the pen and about ten inches above the bed, should be provided in order to'prevent injury to the pigs. An attendant should be ac- ‘cessible, particularly in cold weather, in order to assist the sow and, if nec- essary, to rescue the pigs from freez- ing. Before the pigs are placed with their mother the eight back, tusk-like teeth should be cut off with bone for- ceps or wire nippers. Care must be taken to not injure the jaw bone. Give the sow plenty ef wurm water after IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO USE CARE IN CUTTING SKINS FROM ANIMALS “Succelsful management of the fall' hog crop Involves careful feeding of Adequate housmg "'which | *.

The sow should be, fed lightly for the next four or five days and should not be put on.full feed again until the pigs are about ten days old. Aim to feed the 801 f such a manner that the pigs yvlll deyg}op rap- idly and will prosper from » until weaning time. Make Gains Rapldly. Handle the pigs so that they will gain in weight as rapidly as possible. The modern hog is a meat-making ma- chine of wonderful efficiency when kept running . smoothly and evenly from birth to marketing. When the pigs are about three weeks old a creep should be arranged where they can have access to feeds away from the other hogs. - The best feed to use at this time is shell corn in a self-feeder. Whep.the pigs are about six weeks old it. is generally advisable to place an- other self-feeder in the inclosure, in which shorts, middlings, -tankage, or .fish. meal are placed. It is advisable not to wean the pigs before they are ten weeks of age or over. When the pigs are weaned gradually reduce the feed of the sow. This will have a tendency to dry up the flow of milk and the pigs will be weaned - and scarcely know it. Give them access all the time to the self-feeder contain- ing the ahove feeds. If this method is followed:: they will. notice practically :né-difference -at -weaning-time and will nfldr b stutited 1h" their growth. * ack Frost a Foe.' 18 ‘more difficult to raise pigs in the wlnfer thnn .in the summer, due to the cold wenther as well as to the fact that the animals have to be kept In- doors so much of the time. Extreme "I'varlations in temperature are liable to induce colds und eyen cuuse the devel- opment of pneumonin. The careful bréeder should practice every precau- tion, to protect his young pig crop agalnst disease. He should keep plenty of charcoal before the hogs at all times and should provide them with condition powders if necessary. A chircoal mixture of ‘one bushel of charcoal, one bushel of hardwood ashes, eight pounds of salt, four pounds of air-slaked lime, four pounds of ‘sulphur and two pounds of pulver- ized copperas makes a fine mixture of mineral matter. The lime, salt awpd sulphur should be mixed thoroughly, and then combined with the charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in one quart of hot water and sprinkle farrowing, but do not feed her for the | the solution over the whole mass, mix~ first 24 hours unless pecessary, a0’ |ing it thoroughly. completely resolved into helium, the energy thereby produced would be equal to that ylelded by the burning of 200 tons of coal. i He Wears a Neckiace. Did you ever hear of'a man wearing a necklace? Wel®, that is what the male Canadian warbler does, while on the female of this attractive bird there is only the slightest indication of a necklace, says the American Forest- ry assoclation, Washington. The warbler’s necklace of black spots shows up very strikingly his olive green and yellowish throat and breast. On the back the bird is‘of a slate gray color with the- tail more of an olive brown tone. This is a very lively bird. Tt is very seldom still for more. than a few :seconds before it dashes out at some tempting bit to eat. It Is partial to the wooded banks of streams. It usually keeps in under- brush near the ground. Real Diamond. Sam, the chore man, returned from the city with a scarf pin that con- tained a “diamond” of no usual size. It was the pride of his heart, and the envy of his village companions. He treated all inquiries from them as to its value and its authenticity with high scorn. His employer, after a week of bask- ing In its radiance, asked Sam about its history. “Sam,” he said, “is it a real dia- mond?” } “Wall,” eaid Sam, “if it ain't l". been skun out of a half-dollar.” Wool Growers Use Press. ‘Wool ranch proprietors: are making use of a. small press to. put the wool into a compact bale, which cuts down their _mdun: and transportaties Housecleaning Hedgehogs. It s said that when in camp during the winter the woodsmen of Maine en- tertain many strange guests—blue- jays, chickadees, wood mice:and hedge- hogs among them. One woodsman on leaving the camp on a Saturday aft- ernqpn used to neglect purposely to close the door of his shack In order that the hedgehogs might enter and clean his floor. Inasmuch as the principal constitu- ents of the camp menu are pork and beans, bacon and other dishes rich in fat, grease is spilled upon the floor in a week and a hedgehog will risk his neck for a bit of fat. Just as soon, therefore, as this par ticular camp was deserted by its oc- cupants the spiny gluttons would has- ten In and begin to plane off the sur- face of the floor with their chisellike teeth, eatlng away all the wood that held a trace of grease. On his return to camp the owner could sweep up and enjoy the comforts of a clean house for another week. The only se- rious objection to this method of housecleaning lay in the fact that it was necessary to lay a new camp floor frequently.
