Pigs die of thumps because of the stiffening of the casing that holds the heart, and the lungs grow fast to the brisket from two to six Inches back of the forelegs, contracting the action of these organa. The cause of thumps is that the pigs get too large an amount of milk produced from rich, protein foods, such as corn, etc., and that the pigs do not have proper exercise. The farmer who loses his pigs with thumps to the fellow who does not believe In the proper amount of exercise for man or beast.

In sections where the corn crop is likely to be short it must be handled carefully to get the best results from It. If the corn Is fed and one has a silo the com i should be cut as soon as it begins to dent and put into the silo. If without the silo then the plan should be to allow- the corn to stand as long as it is possible to do so without danger of frost. When it is cut it! should be (carefully shocked and fed In any way that is the most economical While the writer does not like the plan of feeding it to cattle in open yards or fields with hogs to follow, the plan is one of economy, and. perhaps, ought to be. followed this year by those who have done it heretofore.

Keep in mind the lesson w-hich the short corn crop teaches, the value of the silo and plan for one another year.

Pennsylvanla Man Finds Gold Pieces Before His Very Door. SCRANTON. Fa., September S.-While William Beller, of Dallas, was chopping the stump of an old tree in front of his residence his ax came In contact with something metallic. Peering Into the hollow of the stump Beller saw u large tin can. black with age. Beller pulled out the can and was amaxed on finding that it contained 120 twenty-dollar gold pieces. He took into his confidence his neighbor, Chester Gates. • Mr. Gates said that the find was doubtless part of n fortune hidden by an outlaw band which his grandfather hud told him overran the Dallas region Just before

the war of 1812.

N ALL Statee where fruit Is grown

to any considerable extent there sure one or more societies whose members meet annually to discuss fruit growing. As a rule,

these meetings are held during the winter and. usually, In some large city centrally located. That such meetings ars helpful to those who attend them Is true, but It seems to the writer as If plans might be made at such meetings so that there might be a summer meeting of the society held on the fruit farm of some member who was successful in

his work beyond the ordinary.

There Is some such man in every horticultural society and he would be glad to have other fruit growers see what he is doing. Put the plan on a business basis. Don't arrange to go and live on for a day or two, he may be unwilling or unable to stand this expense, but arrange so that a day may be spent on his farm at as /little expense and Inconvenience to him,as possible. The Idea to suggested now tso that it may be considered at the ocimlng fall and winter

Insect powders, whitewash and kerosene >oll on the roosts are good, ami all should* be used, but when one has a house badly Infested with mites the quickest and uiost thorough method Is kerosene emulsion. This is made, by shaving a half pound of any hard t<oap Into a gallon of soft water and settling it over the fire until it comes to a boll, when the soap will be dissolved. * Take from the fire and stir into it two gallons of keroetene, stirring until the mass becomes nearly cold. When wanted for use take one part of the emutoion and to it add ten parts of soft water. While this emulsion can be most effectively applied by tho use of a spraying pump, it may be applied with a brush as with whitewash, and If done thoroughly will destroy the mites and-their eggs as well. Do the work now. but hear In mind that it must be done at any time when mites are discovered, for once the peats get into the house then good-by to eggs and to the good health of the fowls.
