From the stairs they could see the library with the fire Just started. There was a big tree all trimmed ! And under end around It there were Just the things they all had been waiting for, and a lot of other things they had never expected. Ob, how beautiful It was. It looked to the children as If It couldn't be real and It seemed to them as If they must be dreaming—as If all this won derful room, filled with presents and stockings and everything else that was fine, could not be real after all. But they had thought this way on other Christmas days and they had not been dreaming on other Christ mas mornings. To be sure they dream ed of Christmas before Christmas came but *hey didn't dream of any thing nearly so wonderful as Christ mas always was. There were four children. Lucy and Betty and Robbie and Billy. There, In the center of the library, was the big tree. It was covered with candles and though It was daylight the candles were lighted and the shades pulled down so as to make the tree look Its very best. And too. If wasn't so very bright at that hou», for they were always up very, very early ou Christmas morning. They began to see the things on the free they had asked Santa Claus for. ind then they looked to see If tip had taken the notes they had written for him wishing him a Merry Christ mas. Sure enough! He had token them. They wondered If he had been pleased 3 WE__rc "Christmas Cornea But Once a Year!" and they hoped very ipuch that he had. All these thoughts went through their minds very qulekly and then they began to say. "Ah," and "Oh." and "Isn't It wonderful." and "Look !" "Well." said their daddy, "let us sit down and look at all our presents." They sat down on the floor. And each one took a slocking which had been hanging in front of the mantel piece. Every stocking was well filled. And each stocking stuck out queerly so that no one could guess what was In It. What n guessing match there was . . « .. c . before they emptied the stockings— just to keep the surprise a little long er. for they had an Idea that Sauta Claus wanted them to be as surprised as possible. And when they did guess what was In some of the stockings It flln . .. , , h looked ' . . . . . at and the oranges and apples had rolled out of the toes, the presents were taken from the tree. The candy canes and candy animals and the decorations were kept on, for the candy would tie eaten later on and i the decorations would lie kept through the Christmas season. There were many presents around the foot of the tree. And now they knew that they weren't really dreara ing. They were really, really alive. | and this was really, really Christmas, Everything about It was real and ■ fhelr presents were real and they wide awake and beginning to ; were feel hungry, for they hadn't watte*! to have breakfast first. They ate San ta'a wonderful oranges and mother said to daddy: "Dear me. I wish I could find big Juicy oranges like Santa Claus does. He's a better shopper than I am !" And their daddy laughed and said. "He's a smart old fellow. It's hard to get ahead of him. can't fin- 1 such good oranges we get them every year through his good ness !" "He's the dearest soul In all the world." said Lucy, "except the faro And even If wo Ily." "He'a wonderful,' said Betty, "arid oh. my dollle Is ao adorable. He gave Just the kind I asked for." "He's a wonder." said Bobble and Billie together, and then everyone took his or her orange and paraded me Into the dining-room, singing once more.

According to records of the United States department of agriculture for j u, e 13 months from April 1, 1918, to A ,, rtl 39 , 1019, hog cholera killed 2,815, j 004 hogs, valued at $62,042,688.16, In the United States. This Is the 1 o.m i ogs j, y numbers for a similar period j In the live stock history of the United I States, but on account of the high | price of hogs the monetary loss was heavy. For example, during the year ending March 31, 1913, hogs number ing 0,004,470 and worth $58,833,653 died from cholera, while the next year the disease took 6,304,320 hogs worth $07,697,461. Department experiments show that timeliness In vaccinating bogs against cholera Is all-important When ex j >■ s> % % '/■j !S ' v C Cholera Control Means an Increased Pork Production. posed hogs were vaccinated, while still apparently healthy, losses amounted to only 4 per cent, but when vaccina tion was deferred until the animals showed external signs of sickness losses averaged nearly 29 per cent. This shows that the man who puts off the preventive treatment until his hogs are sick with cholera stands only about one chance In seven of prevent { ing fatal results. It Is important, also, j to maintain hog yards and barns In clean and sanitary condition. MEAT PRODUCTION IS BEHIND Consumption Is Increasing. However, Points Out Animal Husbandry Head of Kansas. Meat production has not kept pace with the growth In population In the United States, according to Dr. C. W. MoCatnphell, head of the animal hus bandry department, Kansas State Agri cultural college. "In I960 there were COO head of cattle In the country for every 1.000 persons." he said. "This has now been reduced to 350 head. "The figures for hogs and sheep show a similar reduction. years hogs have dropped from 800 to 600 head for each thousand persons. In nine and sheep from 880 to 4.50 head, * ..

DADDÏÏ EVENING " 'AIRY TALE 1 l & Mdiy Graham, Dormer = BIDDLE'S CHRISTMAS. 1 "t must toll you about the Christ* mas which Biddle Bird-all Is gulag to have," said Daddy. "The rat who does such wonderful thingsV" asked Nancy. "Yes. the cat," said Daddy. "But this I time we ape to hear of the things 1 which are to he done for Biddle for Christmas. They had s tine Christ mas for him last year, and they will have another fine one for him this year." "Even Biddle Is getting excited about It, I suppose." said Nick. "Yes, 1 do believe he must be dream ing about It." said Daddy, "for 1 have heard that he sleeps with an eye open most of ihe time for fear he will miss something. "And they fell me that he sits a great deal by the window watching for Christinas packages to come. "They have a red bow for his neck and they bavo some delicious cat* nip all ready for him. He will love that, and It will make him feel s< sleepy and so comfortable. That, he thinks, will be the nicest present of J \ | all. "As Biddle was sitting by the win dow the other day a little tin) dog ran out of one of the opposite houses and barked at Biddle's little master who was on his roller skates. "The little dog was frightened, but Biddle looked much disgusted. "*Thal dog,' he said to himself, Ms very foolish to mind roller skates. I'm loo fine and sensible a est for that.' "Just the other day he saw lh* first real signa of Christmas. The ash pile In the garden was covered with snow, and It looked pretty, y that old ash pile looked qulle lovely, for It looked like u mountain of snow and was of such a beautiful shape. "Biddle didn't care about the beauty , really of the ash pile, but he hud always re membered that Just before Christmas there was lots of snow so that even the ash pile looked like a snow mouniuin. "Of course some fine Biddle may make a mistake for this heavy snow storm has happened to come Just at this certain lime since Biddle was a T~ Jt JL. 4 . / t ■» — ■Looked Quits Lovely." he was quite sure little kitty, and that without any mistake It would soon be Christmas.

Of tl'js, only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. So, when we pay 15K a pound for live hogs, we are really paying more than 2IK a pound for the meat which we will get from tht.se animals, even after taking into account the value of the by-products. But people show a preference for only one-third of the whole—the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hams. This means that when we are sell ing Premium bacon at 43'/2< per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30/, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6/ or 8/ per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1/ a pound. The choice cuts are higher because of a demand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog—or about I/6 th—is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes months, and adds to the costs which must be met. \ ! j | Swift & Company, U.S.A.
