When To Make Pork.

Don't forget that warm weather is
the time to make pork. There is but
little profit in feeding hogs, so far as
pork making is concerned, when the
thermometer is down to zero. Re
member this fact, and commence feed
ing early. Hogs that are to be mar
kcted this year, ought now to be in
fair condition. and should be fed un :
spsringly from this on until they are
ready for the market. The great mas,
Of Western farmers rely entirely upon
our great staple -corn--for . fatten
ing food; and certainly there is moth.
ing that equals it for this purpose
With large majority oi feeders, the
growing crop is depended up~n to fl
the hogs now on hand for the market
and, when this the case, they should
commence Just as soon as the corn is
hard enough to be of service. But
when there is sufficient quantity Of
old corn on hand, it will be found
more profitable to continue its use un-
til tho new crop is thoroughly ripened
If the hogs tire Of it in its hard. dry
form, it will de- found profitable tt
shell it from the cob, and then coax i
LAY about twelve hours-before feed

successful pork making lies in keeping

The laboriog classes, man for man. are
"a part ct his society. Each one has
his vote, each his quan,um Of power
according to his capacity to use it.
The tittcst survive and move forward
in every craft. One poor devil gets to
be a section boss another poor devil
gets TO be a foreman; ano,her p,or
devil rises to be a superintcnd nj ;
another poor levi. promotes hims, Il
into Il capitalist; aud so on. Succes,
in life, advancement, is work. we'll di,
rected work, brain power joined to
manly power. The man who does no,
get on, high or low, college bred or
factory bred may charge it to himself.
nobody else is to blame. The world is
full Of examples Of ,he humhlest oper- :

gan on nothing, or worse than no,hiny,
and rose to eminence.
In the country all men start even in
the race. The fool who happens to
have inherited fortune is as ponr of.

Ex.G0v. Austin.

The first intimation the Gov. Austin
had that his name had been mentioned
by some Of his friends in this State as
a candidate for governor this fall, was
on his arrival here from California on
Monday. and he authorizes us to say
that such mention was made without
his knowl.dge or consent, and he does
not wish to be understood as being a
candidate. The Lake City Leader,
which was the frs. to suggest it. stat
ed that it had no knowledge that he
would consent to the use Of his name,
but that there we're many in the State
who wouid like to see him governor
again, which is true. He deos not,
however contemplate resigning his
present position as third auditor Of

To Investors:
The remarkable success

The remarkable success of the
Government in the negotiation of it's
new four per cent. loan is one Of the
most prominent events ia the financial
history Of the country. For some
time past the demand for Government
bonds has been strong and steadily in
creasing, and its elimination seems to
have been reached in the enormous
popular subscriptions to the new four
per cents which amounted to seventy
six millions OF dollars
A number Of reasons may be as
signed for the extraordinary pcpulari
ty Of the loan. Among them may be
prominently noticed the plethora Of
money, and. the greatly increased con.
6dence in the Government under the
existing administration. The latter
has inspired this confidence by its
efforts to reform the Civil Service.
and ty its policy Of reconciliation.
Ry the former the Government will te
able to effect large saving in its ex,
penses. while at the same time it in
creascs the standard OF efficiency in Tvs
officials.
BY the policy Ct Cancellation in
the Southern s ates. local self govern
ment is secured. and the prosperity of
the nation at large greatly promoted.
and the national credit is thereby in
creased for whatever tends to make
united people must strengthen our
securities.
The steady increasing probability
ofspocie resumption on the day ap-
pointed likewise tends in the same di
rection, for in the ordeal through
which all securities must then pass.
Government bonds are likely to show
the least shrinkage.
The recent collapse in prominent
corporations whose shares were highly
esteemed by investors, and tho great
decline in other shares formerly divi-
dend paving and now unproduc'ive
has en'a;ied snch vast losses, and so
much suffering. that there can hardly
be doubt that large amounts Of mon
cy which were formerly invested in
dividend paying shares will hencelorth
seek investment in that which is sure
and safe. In other words. more atten.
ticn will be paid to the security Of the
principal, and less to the rate Of inter.
est For these reasons. too. Execu
tors and trustees are likely to exercise
much more care in the future in the
change Of trust funds than has often
been the case in the past. All these
influences vii! tcnl to keep up the
demand for U. s. Bonds. And, these
influences all at work found expression
in the enormous popular subscriptions
70 the new 4 per cent. lean.

"No Money In Handling Sheep"

Occasionally man is met who is
ready to exhaust his stock of exple-
tives against sheep and 'the sheep
business He is satisfied there is
no money In it, for he has tried it
lie speaks from experience, and
stands proof against figures and ar.u.
ment. Get such a man down to par.
ticulars, and it will usually be found
that he went into the business on
what lawyers would term er parte in
formation. Men who were deemed
reliable had said and written that all
the way from 20 to 100 per cent was
being made from the money they had
put into sheep. This was better than
could be done with any other live
stock : SO he sold a portion OF cattle
and hogs, which he new how to han
die. and bought sheep. Of which he
knew nothing. He saw no reason for
paying 81. to So or even more. for
sheep, when plenty could be had for
sl.50 to So; so he bought the cheap
ones. Having been told that shscp
required very little attention, he gaze
his but little. After they had been
on the farm a few days. he walked GU;
10 see them. aud found that the change
in plsturaye had given the scours to
some tf the weaker ones, and from
lack Of timely attention the masyo.s
had worried them to death. lie went
back in a few da to fad that the
dogs of the neiyhborheed had noticed
the change from cattle to sheep, aud
evidenced their approval by making
holocaust OF handsome percentage
of the best ones. To escape repeti.
ton of this latter experience. he drove
the Anck into the barn yard at night,
aud found next morning that the
mules had crippled half a DOZEN Of
them. Never knew before that young
mules would bother sheep BY and by
peddier came along with soma rams
OF which marvellous stories were told
rs to pedigree and shearing qualities.
ard he bought one and turned in
with his sheep. Didn't remember the
date, but it must have been rather
early, as what few lambs he got came
in March. and, having no "good place
to run during stormy nights. most of
them died. Before this the high.
priced, fne- e-redigrecd ram had died
as we'll as soodly number Of ewes
III of which he was unable to account
for, as they had a stalk field to run in,
and constant access to the straw pile.
Shearing time came, and his wool was
light; the buyers found fault with the
b1rs, and cut the price On the
whole. he had bad luck" with sheep,
aud would have done better if he had
"stuck" to cattle aud hogs. Such is
pretty fair sample Of the experience
of those who know there is no money
in the sheep business"
