Lubricant Is Center of a Romance That Equals the Tale of Steel--: Helped Win War. It Is 60 years since the first _oll well was drilled in Pennsylvania, thus inaugurating the era of oil, 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 proportions to which the Industry was destined to grow. Hailed aa an illuminant supplanting candles and whale oil, the business has widened beyond any possible dreams of those who were active in the early days'of oil. The center of the indus try has long since departed from the -place of its origin. The Southwest and the Pacific coast, almost' as* un known land In the infancy of the, busi ness, now produce thousands of bar rels to the original oil regton'sfi one. Oil Is used as an illuminant *on*" mil lions of farms and In 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, is 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. Vast quantities of the crude prod act are used to drive locomotives and ships. The war might not have been won had not the allies bad access, to the fields of Mexico and the United States. And not only as fuel does the greasy product enter into the' world's commerce, but as a lubricant It lessens the friction of bearings,from the sewing machine to steamships. The t7-product even enter the realms -or! flnedldne. and while the limit would aeem to be reached In utilizing the wa**e from the refineries it is pdssl We that further subdivisions may yet Increase the number..

Byron Too Theatrical. In Its review o^ a recent work by the Italian critic, Emillo Cecchi, on English poets of the Nineteenth cen tury, the London Telegraph says: "On the topic of the most famous controversy between European and British criticismthe greatness of By- ronProfessor Cecchi takes very de cidedly the British view, if indeed he Is 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 that 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-Mussetllte figure, luminous with its trusting smile, but touched with a purer spirit of religiosity than Byron could have achieved or understood." End of Coal Deposits Seen. It is calculated that English coal will come to an end in about 800 years, tierman coal in 1,400 years and Ameri can coal In 2,000 years. Yet It is consoling to think that for onr de cendants there are possibilities of warmth which are independent of coal, says the Manchester Guardian. It may, for Instance, be possible 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 huge car bide deposits, and some day, perhaps, borings will be possible which will then discover an almost limitless source of beat. Finally, it is conceiva ble that the problem of the disintegra tion of matter generally will one day be solved a gram of lead could be ^Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) If every farmer in the United States who raises hogsand approximately 75 per cent of the six million seven hundred thousand odd American farm ers do raise hogswould decrease mortality to the extent of one pig to the litter, the annual increase in the crop of young squealers would be 5,- 025,000 head. If they were all raised and market ed at 250 pounds apiece, the yearly increase in pork production would be 1,256,250,000 Rounds. According to the United States department of agri culture, experienced and careful hog, growers raise about seven pigs out of each litter, while the average pork pro ducer raises only four. Thus, between farrowing and marketing, there Is a loss of three pigs a litter on' the aver age fartu. Suc&fesful management of the fall hog crop Involves careful feeding of the sows previous to farrowing, com fortable sanitary quarters for the dams during farrowing, careful attention 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" rather than the fat. Adequate housing which thoroughly shelters the porkers, young and old, figaihst wind,', rain, sleet and snow,, is essential and, de spite high prices of building material? available. Although feeds are high in price it is necessary to feed the sow" and pigs both adequatelyand well. Fortunately, the price of ptork on? the hoof is such as" to render the ^two squares and plenty of filler a day" a profitable investment. f 8anjtary Surroundino for 8ow*. Dry, well-ventilated quarters, which have been disinfected and cleaned 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 4-inch pieces Bet four inches from the sides of the pen and about ten inches above the bed, should be provided In order to prevent injury to jthe 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 of wurm water after farrowing, but do not feed her for the first 24 hours unless necessary, an/ completely resolved Into helium, the energy thereby produced would be equal to that yielded by the burning of 200 tons of coal. He Wears a Necklace. Did you ever hear of a man wearing a necklace? Well, that is what the male Canadian warbler- dees, while on the female of this attractive bird there Is only the slightest indication of a necklace, says the American Forest ry association, Washington. The warbler's necklace of black spots sbows 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.. It 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?" "WaH," said Sam, "If it ain't Tf aknn out of a half-dollar." Wool Growers Use Press. Wool ranch proprietors are making ua of a. small press to. put the wool Into a compact bale, which cuts down their -^handling and transportaoea easts Trarx materially. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO USE CARE IN CUTTING SKINS FROM ANIMALS Skin Drawn Tight Kelps Work With Knife. then provide a thin slop of bran and middlings. 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 teed the^^^'ln such a manner that the pigs wllldeT$pp rap idly and will prosper from,.birth until weaning time. Make Gains Rapjdly. Handle the pigs so that they will" gain in weight as rapidly aa 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. Wh.en_.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 above feeds. If this method is jfolfcwedi they will notice practically neUffereac *t weaning*tltne and will nevV* be stunted in their growth. JiV,5""'^iJk Frost a Fo*. ft is more difficult to raise pigs in the winter than in the summer, due to the cold weather'as well as to the fact that the animals have to. be kept In doors so much of the time. Extreme variations in temperature are liable to Induce colds and eyen cause the devel opment of pneumonia. The careful breeder should practice every precau tion, to protect his young pig crop against disease. He should keep plenty of charcoal before the hogs at all times and should provide them with condition powders if necessary. A charcoal 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 and sulphur should be mixed thoroughly, and then combined with the charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in one quart of hot water and sprinkle the solution over the whole mass, mix ing itthoroughly.___ Housecleaning Hedgehog*. It Is said that when in camp during the winter the woodsmen of Maine en tertain many strange guestsblue jays, chickadees, wood mictrand hedge hogs among them. One woodsman on leaving the camp on a Saturday aft ernoon 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, eating 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. Two of A Kind. "A scientist, eh?" "Yes.". "What's his specialty?"
