KNOWLEDGE AND SILENCE
The telephone Is very wise but des-
n't say a word; good gracious, what
would happen if it told all that It
heard? The nearest that It comes to
speech Is with Its calling bell; no
doubt ‘tis far much better that no
secrets It can tell.
., It hears a lot of gossip and a lot of
every point, tbe litter was ear-marited
1 4 scandal, too; It bears an Irate creditor
when seven days old by tbe county
agent, E. R. Eudaly in the presence
of the president of the local County
livestock Association. The scales on
which tho pigs were weighed were
tested and sealed by the Waco city
inspector of weights and measures
For raising this great litter, Mr. Hill
won $335 in cash prizes; $200.00 of
which was offered by the National Du ^
roc Jersey Ri?"ord Association. Peoria.
Illinois, and the balance by the Waco
yell: "Pay me or I will sue.” Many
business secrets are carried on its
flash, and it hears tbe doctor telling
bow to core the baby's rash.
Borne words are of the sweetest that
a human evei spoke; some squabbles
uie so awfully bot they'd shame a fire
of coke. In war it takes an order for
a mighty smashing fight; it hears a
parpose, which was to bring a blight
on some of that multitude of tax bills
that gained favor from a too pessimi-
stic forecast, of the state's probable
financial condition during the two sue
reeding years. This other prediction
was that the State would collect more
of hack: taxes than was counted on In
the estimates submitted to the Legis-
lature.. There was good reason for
that prediction at the time It was
made, and events since have made it
more plausible.
Doubtless it is the duty of those
who are charged with the manage,
meat of the State’s fiscal affairs to

It Is really a comparatively simple
matter for anyone who la willing to

essential to success, therefore, unless

Scraping
Scraping is seldom necessary with a
mole skin, nor are they thick or tough
enough to stand much scraping. Squir
rel skins, should have the excess fat
removed, for which purpose an old
blunt knife Is the best tool. Here is
one place where careless scraping
will tear the skin or pull the fur
"through by the roots.”
Salting is done in either of two wa;*s
usually a mixture of equal parts of
saltpeter and alum is rubbed into the
slightly oily skin, using all that will ba
taken up or will adhere because of the
moisture present. The other way Is to
a ply with a small brush all of a sat-
urated saltpeterjalum solution that
will be taken up. This is more fre-
quently used for bides that are dried
out. Either will do the work.
