Breeding Swine.

1t does not follow that because it is
profitable to make the greatest weight
of carcass for the butcher at ten
months, that it is also profitable to
breed from either sex at so early an
age. We are aware that some excel
lent breeders advise that the SOW
should have her first litter at twelve
months but eight months is too
young for the SOW to have acquired the
proper maturity to be coupled with the
boar, and the pigs in many such cases
are weak and puny. Nothing is really
gained by coupling before the SOW is
ten to twelve months old. The pigs
will be much more valuable under the
latter plan.
Ne believe that too early breeding
reduces the number of healthy pigs
reared, more than all the gain in time
is worth. From several reports we have
received from large breeders, four per
litter IS full average raised from this
early breeding, while if the SOW is al
lowed further to mature, six would be
the average in breeding upon large
scale. There is no doubt that the at
tention given to high feeding and early
maturity during the last few years has
rendered the SOW fit to breed earlier
than formerly, but there is danger of
carrying this too far and thus weaken
ing the constitution.
If SOW shows herself a good breeder,
it is economy TO keep her several years
as breeder, for the extra number of
pigs she will rear will pay for the extra
feed. Great care should Se used not to
give the SOW, while in pig, too much
concentrated food. The principal brood
is narrowed in spring, and consequently
the SOW is kept in doors during the win
ter, and she is too often fed almost
wholly on grain, which is apt to keep
her in feverish and badly oonstipated
condition. This often causes the
pigs to be but poorly developed and too
puny to rear. She should be fed, as a
part of diet, upon roots-tu nips, beets,
carrots-or othergreen and laxative food
when obsainab e, or, in lieu of these,
upon second crop clover cut green, or
upOn nicely cured aftermath of timothy
or other fine grass, with her grain.
This is best if cut short and mixed In
small quantity with the meal and grain.
But If none of these coarse foods are at
hand, then take bran and q very Little
oil meal. and mix all into slop with
the grain to be fed. This viii keep the
bowels of the breeding SOW in nearly
the same coalition as on grass. This

sc History of the Grange Movement;

lies" Being a full and authentic &c
count of the struggles of the American
Farmers against the extortions of the
Railroad Companies. With a History
of the Rise and Progress of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry. Published
by the National Publishing Co., of Gin
cinnati and Memphis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, I'M
questionably, the War which the Farm
ers are wagiDg against the Monopolies
of all kinds that have for SO long been
robbing the people and expressing the
tOiling portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists. and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
| its growth, actual condition and pros
poets. It then shows how this noble
system his been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail.
road directors, who seek gain at the ex
| pense of the community; and We are
| given a terrible and thrilling account Of
the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author
yields fearless and vigorous pen, anC
points out the evils which this selfsl
greed has entailed upon us. He show
how the great corporations have beer
able to control the whole country hov
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our Congress, State Legislator es
and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists an(
their outrages, the author takes up tn,
cause of the wronged and oppressed
farmers, and gives us detailed state
ment of the evils from which the farm
ing class is suffering. He analyze
skillfully the causes of these evils, ant
shows how and by whom the farmer
are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work
devoted to a history of the Order o
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete &C
count of the organization and objects o
the order is given its laws and mod
ofprocedure are stated and each fea
ture is explained at length.
It is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume of the day, and as
comes at a time when the whole coun
try is suffering intensely from the e1
fects of the evil it denounces, canno
fail to have tremendous sale. 1t is a,
ably written work, and bold and Wig
orous plea in behalf of the farmers an
all who are oppressed and robbed b
the grasping Monopolies which ar
causing so much trouble.

Why English Workmen Don't Like
the United States.

The other day had shown to me
some letters written by various poor
men who ha gone out from Yorkshire
and settled in a town of Central New
York, and they said that, though they
could earn enough there to make them
much more comfortable than they had
been in Yorkshire, they were all re-
solved o come back, and suppose by
this time they have done SO. They
we're very vague in giving their obiec-
tions, but said that they found life in
America void of all interest for work
ingmen. They found none of those
little clubs in which at home york
shire) they we're won't to meet and talk
over the politics of the day. They
found no learned gentleman anxious to
lecture to them occasionally. The
aniusements were Of the most miserable
description-chiehy negro minstrelsy.
The local newspaper never had an inter
esting article, and was a tissue of the
driest local items. The preachers
preached a dull, humdrum orthodoxy,
and were rarely as we'll educated as
their own English parsons. Altogether,
life in a New York town they found in
tolerable, and preferred their crust in
Yorkshire, with the old surroundings

The PhiIosonher,s Stone,

One is surprised to remember how
many eminent men have believed in the
philosophers stone as a means by
which everything could be turned to
gold. Roger Bacon believed in its pro-
duotion, and Arnold de Villeneuve pro-
fessed that he could increase the stone
at pleasure. In 1915, Henry VI. granted
patents and commissions to find out
the philosophers stone, "to enable the
king to pay all the debts of the crown
in real gold and silver" No gold, of
course, was ever made but the king
had forge smithy built for practice In
Pail Mall, on the site of the first Carl
ton house. Ripley, the alchemist, wrote
on the twelve gates" leading to the
discovery of the stone, IN 1470 but he
repented his wasted life, and begged all
men would burn his books, which were
false and vain" Basil Valentine, the
German monk, was of the opinion that
the metals were compounds of salt, sui
phur and mercury, and that the philos-
opher's stone was composed of the same
ingredients. Cornelius Agrippi joined
the French alchemist in searching for
the stone. Dee and Kelly sought for
the stone. Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton
joined in a process for multiplying
gold, " for which company was estab-
Iished in London. Leibnitz joined
society of Rosicrucians in Nuremberg,
in the pursuit of the philosophers stone.
Bergman, the chemist, relates num-
Der of cases in which gold was supposed
to be formed by the use of the philos-
opher's stone; though they were the
results of fraud, by secretly introducing
into the crucible gold pretended to have
been obtained by transmutation. Some
times crucibles were made with q false
bottom, gold or silver being concealed
at the real bottom; when, heat being ap'
piled, the false bottom disappeared, and
thegoldor silver was found atthe bottom
of the crucible. Sometimes gold or silver
were introduced in charcoal-the hole
stopped with wax-or in hollow rod
with which the crucible was stirred, thu
ends being closed with wax. A com
mon exhibition was to dip nails in a Ii
quid, and take them one-haIf converted
into the gold. These nails were one
half gold and one-haIf iron, the goli
being covered with something to con
ceal its color, which the liquid re
moved. However, on the principle tina
'''tis an i'll wind which blows no
body good, some benefits have accrue'
to mankind from the ancient practic
of an art which is now considered
low delusion and imposture. TIL
books of the alchemist show the effect
of experiments and though they wer
guided by false views, they made mos
useful researches, and thus laid tn
foundation of experimental science an
modern chemistry. Two centuries agC
Sir Thomas Browne regarded alchem
cal studies as the cradle of chemistr!

THE TOMB OF LAzARUs.-The most
recent discoveries by the Palestine ex-
ploration expedition are such as to
excite the liveliest interest of the Chris
tan world. The explorers have found
on the Mount of Olives a number of
Jewish Greek sarcophagi bearing IL
scriptions. In these were the bones OF
Christian Jews, and one of them bears
the name of Lazarus. Others are in
scribed with the names of Simon and
Martha, land although the discoveries do
not claim that these sarcophagi actu-
ally served for the entombment of the
biblical individuals known to the world
under those names, they leave it to be
inferred that such may be the fact. The
tomb of Lazarus-the scene of one Of
the most marvellous of Christ's miracles
it is believed will be definitely located
before the exploration is finished.

The German Military.

Anybody that loves the military will
get his fill of it in Germany. The huge
casernes which mark every city, the
prevalence of uniforms, the iingling of
spurs and swords in every public room,
the drills and parades, the sentinels, re-
mind you that you are among the most
successful warriors of modern times.
The people grumble increasingly at the
inexorable service, but are most proud of
its results and the great king who inaugu-
rates it. The three years discipline, with
the opportunity afforded to reduce them
to one by previous study, is an excellent
education for most. Many who would

AN AMERICAN FossIL SKULL.-A
strange discovery, interesting to geolo-
gists, is reported by the Usage Mission
kan Journal. A human skull was
recently found near that place imbeded
IN a solid rock which was broken open
by blasting. DR.. Verify of Usage Mis-
sion compared it with modern skull
which he had in his office, and found
that, though it resembled the latter in
the general shape, it was an inch and a
quarter larger in greatest diameter, and
much better developed in some other
particulars. He says of the relic: cit
is that of the Uranium of the human
species, of large size, imbedded in con-
giomerate rock of the tertiary cless,
and found several feet beneath the sur
face. Parts of the frontal, paraetal and
occipital ones were carried away by ex-
plosion. The piece of rock holding the
remains weighs some forty or fifty
pounds, with many impressions of ma
rine shells, and through it runs a vein
of quartz, or within the Uranium crys-
talized organic matter, and by the aid
of microscope presents beautiful az
pearance." Neither Lyen nor Hugh
Miller, it is stated, nor ny of the rest
of the btpranean explorers reports any
thing so remarkable as this discovery at
Usage Mission. The Neander msn
comes the nearest to it. but the Mean
derthRl bones were found in loan only
two or three feet below the surface,
whereas the Kansas skull was discov-
cred in solid rock.
