"A man should never be ashamed to exhibit his art," added Ysaye, with a significant smile. 9e A NEW MIOSQUITO-TRRAP. Depends on Use of Paint -Invented By Dr. Balmaln. Some one has invented a night trap for mosquitoes which, according to Chambers's Journal, has proved high- ly successful under exacting tests. - The contrivance depends on the use of the luminous paint that Doctor Bal - main invented some years ago. in this paint there is no phosphorus. The mosquito -trap is a short glass cylinder, about six inches in length and one inch in diameter, The interior surface of it Is coated with Balmain com- pound, and the ends are*sealed. On the outer surface of the glass there is a coat of adhesive substance like that on ordinary fly -paper, and the tube hangs by a string in any conven- ient place, Exposure to daylight causes the Bal - main paint to collect and store up sun light, which it throws off at night The faint, steadyglow attracts the insects, and as there is no heat abou the light, the mosquitoes settle upon the glass, and are caught by the ad hesive. When it is necessary to clean the trap, you take a piece of wood -a match will do -and scrape off the In- sects, and then apply a fresh coating of the adhesive. -ri On the Farm Practical Rog ltfanagement, Swine offer a greater opportunity for improvement and upgrading than any other class of live stook. There is no reason why any fanner raising hogs should have a herd of scrubs and inferior individuals, Starting with a pure-bred sire and continuing to use a sire of the same breed, but a few years aro requir- ed to establish, at little expense, a. grade herd equal to pure brads in every way, for pork production. No. class of animals increases so rapid- „ ly and none so readily lotains Ste' quire(' oharaoteristics, Even when, started with an inferior lot of sows, t I a uniform herd can be developed by using a good boar and sash Duo- ' seeding year rejecting all inferior' animals from the breeding herd. The boars should be carefully se- lected to insure prepoteneyl quality” and soundness, Keephim in prime condition, free from parasites or disease, give him plenty of exer- cise and not too heavy service,. writes Mr. 3, G. Fuller. The sows must have the same - quality and size as the sire, and in addition get sows from the large litters of prolific dams. A dozen sound teats and a quint disposition should bo required. Once a sow has demonstrated hex value, keep her as long as she is vigorous rather than depend upon untried ones. Rations for breeding swine• must be planned according to the needs 1 of the animals. Breeding animals should be grown and not fattened. They need plenty of exercise and a variety of nourishing food, but not fat -forming materials, Corn alone is a very bad feed for sows and should never be given exclusively. Change the food to suit her condi- tion. When nursing a litter add wheat bran and oilmeal to the ra- tions, The caro of the young pigs is the foundation of the fattening of the market animal. Wean the pigs at eight weks after they have been trained to eat a ration of shelled corn and slop in sufficient amounts to avoid a check on their growth when removed from the dam. /bark the pigs of each litter by the ear notch system and discard the runts or separate them for special care. Provide dry sleeping pens and am- ple runs. Sanitary quarters and bedding, with careful feeding, can alone prevent serious losses from the many diseases and parasites which are common to swine. aF Husband -"Want to go to the theatre to -night l" Wife -pointed- ly -"I have nothing to wear."
