Desirable Qualities in a Pig.

If all the desirable qualities in pig,
a vigorors appetite is of the first i'm
portance. A hog that will not eat, is Of
no more use than q mill that will not
grind. And is undoubtedly true that
the more a pig will eat in proportion to
his size, provided he can digest and as
simulate it, the more profitable he viii
prove.
The next desirable quality is, perhaps,
quietness of disposition. The blood is
derived from the food, and flesh is
derived from the blood. Animal force
is derived from the transformation of
flesh. The more of this is used in un-
necessary motions, the greater the
demand on the stomach, and the more
food will there be required merely to
sustain thevital functions-and the more
frequently flesh is transformed and
formed again, the tougher and less
! palatable it becomes.
This quality, quietness of disposition,
| combined with a small amount of useless
parts, or offal, has been the aim of all
modern breeders. Its Importance viii
will readily be perceived if We assume
that seventy-five per cent. of the food is
ordinarily consumed to support the vital
functions, and that the slight additional
demand Of only One-sixth more food, is
required for the extra Offal parts and
unnecessary activity. Such n coarse,
restless animal would gain, in flesh and
fat, in proportion to the food consumed,
only half as fast as the quiet, refined
animal. To assume that rough, coarse,
savage. iIl-bred mongrel hog VIII require
one-sixth more food than quiet, refined,
welI-bred Berkshire, Essex or Suffolk,
is not extravagant.
THE BARON steel process for convert
ing articles of cast iron into steel Is
now being used for the preparation OF
tools. The cast iron tools to be con
verted into steel are first placed in re-
volving drums, and the rough surface
which the castings present rs they leave
the mold is thus worn smooth by attr
ton. They are then packed in layers
in iron boxes, closely with clay, and
subjected to the action of oxiode of iron
or some other decarboniZing agent
After being annealed in these boxes fol
a period of from three to six days, thC
tools are brought into the state of NAL
leable iron, and it only remains to con
vert them into steel. This conversion
is effected by exposing them in a large
retort in the center of an oven to the
action of certain gaseous compounds o.
carbon. BY this means about a ton O.
iron tools in the retort may be convert
ed into steel in from eight TO ten min
utes.

saIuted even him with "a merry
/ Christmas. -
A merry Christmas
/ The stranger stayed and wandered
among the graves. There was a world
of silent memery seething in his heart.
Beside that vision of the little boy, lis
tening awe-struck to the choir, there
we're others of a young man, vain, ex-
travagant, selfish, counting as of naught,
or of little value, all the love and pride
and household Joy which looked 50
very fair from this point of view, this
lonely wandering among the dead /
More pictures still. OF a young man.
reckless and cruel in his sins, full of
that bravado which dares God and good
men out of fear of the devil and his
painions of the CHASTITY horrors of a
convict ship; of a Stunned man on
wild, Iawless shore-the prodigal feed
ing on the swine's husks. Then of a
little rough, miscellaneous group, lis
.tening to a simple mission sermon.
which even black fellows" could un-
derstand, and which, perhaps, was the
more likely to touch the white men, be-
cause it was so like what they had
heard at their mothers knee, or IN their
Sabbath-school of a hard heart brOk-
en-, of a sinner seeking salvation, as
men dying of thirst seek for water
springs. And then the sweet household
instincts, dried and dead under the for
getfuIness of God, stirring again in the
remembrance of Him, and the return to
His ways. O God such IoRgings for a
comforting word in the old familiar
voices such dreams of atonement and
reconciliation
All these memories between that lit
tie boy and this strange, silent man,
whom nobody knew.
Was there any long -tried servant of
God in Norman that afternoon, poor,
humble, stricken, and tempted to think
that God in his mercy fOrgets his JUS
tice, and tears the moral from the page
which He purifes with His pardoning
blood? Or was there any needless
young sinner, fattering himself that he
viii repent in time, and that then all
viii be as if he had never sinned ?
Could either have read the secrets of
that silent wanderer, each would have
got lesson never to be forgotten.
GLOW can I bear it ?" he said within
himself " I wanted to hear the divine
love and forgiveness in a dear human
voice; but I must not tear open old
wounds, that are healed as much as
such wounds can ever heal. It is just.
They cannot forget. My life lies
among theirs like waste field, whence
noxious weeds creep into other peoples
gardens. Will God himself forget?
How can bear even His pardon, if His
eye is fixed ever on the sins that hang
about my neck? And yet, o God,
though Thou sslayest me, yet will I
trust in Thee"
And so he made his way through the
long grass to a square, old-fashioned
grave-with all the names on it very
old, except one, which, with its remar-
kable epitaph, had only been written
the very last year.
