FeW greater authorities on education than this gifted son-in-law of the great Potior Arnold of Kuxhy over breathed. Among other worthies whose names tQ\18t al?0 , be mentioned In this con cretion is t hat of John Casapheii Sharp, the Words worthies poet nnd philosopher; Arthur Hugh Olough, the poet, and Charles Klngaley, the gifted author of that Imtnortal thriller. !

To force the growth of plants by the use of artiflrial light, lis not a how idea, bilt jS system hitherto has been too expensive In proportion to obtain* able results. Recently a man engaged In horticul ture discovered an efllcnclous method of applying light for this purpose. Ar ranging In winter quarters his plants as he wished them to grow, he sup plies a lamp with mercury vapor for fuel and the seeds germinate In less than half~the ordinary time, whiTe the vigor qnd intensity of the color of the flowers Is superior to that of the prod net grown naturally. Another curious phenomenon no ticed In connection with this action of light is an1 infinite multiplication , of the downy substance commonly found on* stems. Those grown. In shadow have th& stems relatively bare. Very good practical results have been ob tained by this system. Hot Blast of Volcanoes. Writing In the -Monthly Weather Review George N. Cole sets forth de tailed arguments to prove that the hot blast which swept over the city of St. Pierre during the eruption of i Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts in connection with the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and Herculanesm, the eruption of Taal, Sakurajlma, etc., derived Its heat from the sudden compression -of the air sur rounding the volcano, and not from conditions In the volcano ItSelf. In this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot crater gases that caused the destruc tion, but the dynamic hea^Jng of the air attending the propagation of the explosion wave. Admiralty's Humor. The Rrltish. admiralty has a sense of humor, and occasionally -displays It In official documents. An old sen captain wrote to the de partment complaining, more in sorrow than in anger, of the way in which his ship had beoix dazzle-painted: "First you make me look like a parrot, and then ^you make me look like a hay stack. and I don't want to look like either.'' lie goL hack- the official re* ply : "We don't want yon to look like either a parrot, or n haystack, but we do want you to look like as if your stern was where vourJiead ought to bo." t < Mines Threaten Shipping.

THE SPRING UTTER Careful i'eedin# and Manage- j merit Spell Succesa.*^ Olemfcou C( llejjvV -With hog prices at an uar level. a shurtu&e of hog ? lu tJu European countries, and pi > r ct$ for n large oxport trade with t'id Central p worn upon the dec laration of pcilcc, ti| production o{ I m ? u 1 1 1 be <? :^ of tho most uu portaiit onterprlsus of the farm in 1919, especially in the South with its natural advantage* for growing, for* age, which la one of the .moat Impor tant factors for economic pork pro duction. o > The' llrat period In the feeding and management of a litter of pigs begins when th? 4 aow becomes pregnant and (Milts when ;-ho f H IDWS. Tile second period begins yith the. hirth of the ontlQues until the pf?4 reach n..i? urit y or are marketed. h> this time most of the spring pigs have been farrowed, and the problem now i? to push them tepidly ?u*d econom* icnlly for the market. If the pregnant bow's ration has supplied sufficient protein for hone and muscle 'building in the pigs and she has been kept in good physical condition through ex ercise, the product should be a strong, Inalthy littor that will make rapid iiixl (Mioap gains, For the first few weetfs, when the pigs will bo nourished entirely by the sow. her ration should bo sufficient to furnish nn abundant flow of milk, Ilowover, If sh^ is overfed, causing a heavy flow of milk, the pig*, aire likely to liavc M-ours. If this occurs, the feed of the sow should bo reduced im mediately, *fhd she should be fed 15 to 80 grataa of copperas in her slop Aiofhthg* :'to night until scourtiig Cease.' . Titration for a sow suckling !>:??' >ut 4 per C(>ut of her live \ wheq not on pasture. Tint for t' ' est rogults the sr>w and pigs ' ! be ou pasture. Whoa, on a non-leguminous pasture such as rape, rye, and ilenmida grass, the k sow should havo a -grain ration equivalent to 3 per cent of her live weight. On Alfalfa, red clover, and other legumes, the grain ration need not ho over 2 per cent of her live weight. The sow's grain ration should be well balaneod. .Sevpral balanced rations are givon later in art icle. iy ? Tho young pigs wtyl begin to oat aC 3 to 1 weeks of a go. If the littor is small and the sow is on pasture and has "a liberal grain ration) the pigs will ne6d little additional feed. If tho litter Is large and Urn mother a light milker, the tpigs should be givon a slop of sklm-milk and wheat shorts In a creep not accessible, to the mother.' If mftk Is not available, the shorts may be made Into a thin slop witli water. At 7 or 8 weeks of age, corn jtfffry? be substlttued for one-half the shorts. Tho^age of weaning depends upon whother or not two litters are to bo raised per year. In -no case should pigs bo weaned under 8 weeks of ago; 10 or 12 weeks is better. ?At yeaning pimo tbo feed of the sow Is reduced to slack the milk flow/ and the rations of the pi,g8 sholud be increased so that there will be little interruption in the growth pf the pigs. The weaning should bo abruptly, and under no cir cumstances should the bow bo return ed to the pigs. The most critical is weaned and is eating well. The feeding from then on is a matter of making the best ration from the avail able feed. For the cheapest gains pigs should be on pasture at all times. Home pas tures for summer grazing are alfalfa, clover, cowpeas. soy beans, peanuts, Bermuda grass, rape and -velvet beans. However, pastures should not be relied upon to make pork alone. The most rapid and cheapest gains are produced by supplementing the pastures with a grain ration. ; Thei amount of grain to feed when hogs f are on pasture is approximately 3 per cent of their live weight. The follow ing grain mixtures are recommended: Corn 1Q part#, tankage 1 part; corn and middling1 equal .parta; corn 6 parts, soybean meal 1 pari; or corn 2 parts, velvet bean meal 1 (part. With leguminous pasture, sijch as alfalfa, clover, cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, etc., corn alone may compose -the grain ration. ? There are other factors affecting the physical condition of the anipial that exert considerable influence upon the rate and economy of. gains. There should bo clean drinking water and a pool where they may wallow. Tho ?hog has a very high body temperature and requires considerable water and shade to keep cool. Hogs cannot make rapid gains unless free from lice. t?ico may be controlled by the use of crude petroleum rubbed on the hogs or by dipping with, any of the cpal-tar dips. Hogs should have access at all times to mineral roughage, which is a gen eral tonic and appetizer. The follow ing" mineral roughage is recom mended: ' L Charcoal or slack coal 2 bn. Wond ashes Hmr Alr fllfifcked Hmo 8 lbs. Salt 8 lbs. Copperas ,? . 2 lbs. The cbpper^s is dissolved in warm wator and poured oVer the entire mix ad mass. ?
