BEST AGE TO FATTEN Hoes.-In refer
ence to the question whether it is best
" TO put early pigs into market at nine
months old, or winter them over winter"
I win say that from fifty years expert
ence in hog-raising, have yet to learn
that there is any profit in keeping hogs
over winter. Summer, fall, and winter
pigs in this climate should be guarded
against. Spring pigs, with proper care,
can be made to weigh two hundred and
fifty and three hundred pounds dressed.
at nine TO ten monthsold. These weights
are over the average of hogs received at
the stock yards of Chicago, st. Louis
and Cincinnati. By putting the young
into market at this age, the breeder gets
the use of the money for his crop much
earlier, which, of course, is an item of
convenience, if nothing more. In keep
ing the hogs from eighteen to twenty
months, there are dangers of loss bv
death, with expense of feed for the extra
ten months, with only q chance to put
on fifty or enc hundred pounds more to
each animal. One litter a year, and that
in March and April (none after April is
decided upon by our best hog-raisers in
Illinois as the best way. Some ef the
choicest sows, that have proved to be all
right in raising one litter, are kept over
and yearly put to breeding, until
younger and better ones grow up and
take their places. Selecting the best,
and disposing of the poorest, is the true
rule of practice.

Potatoes for Cows.

The RUrdJ Ne,O Yorker says: Pota-
toes as cattle food will probably come
into common use this season in those
districts where heavy crops glut the
local markets and heavy freights pre-
clude the distant ones. In this connec-
ton, the results of series of expert
ments by Dr. Wolff, n German chemist,
may be profitably instructive to some of
our readers. He experimental in feed
ing raw and cooked potatoes to two cows,
together with hay and rape-seed cake.
When fed on cooked potatoes the animals
did not give as large quantity of milk
as when fed upon raw; but the milk
made nearly third more butter, forty
two pounds of milk having been re-
quired to make u pound of butter in one
case, and only twenty-seven in the
other"

Wearing Flannel.

The majority of people are not aware
of the beneficial effect of wearing flannel
near the body, both in cold and warm
weather, as prejudiced people believe.
Frequently colds and constantly hack
ing coughs soon leave on adopting
flannel garments. There is no need of
bulk about the waist, which condemns
the wearing of flannel with those who
prefer wasp waists to health, for in that
case the flannel can be cut as loosely
fitting waists, always fastened at the
back. There are scarcely any of the
bad effects of sudden changes of weather
felt by those who wear flannel garments,
and mothers should endeavor TO secure
such for little people, in preference to all
those snowy outside trimmings which
fashion demands.

Worth Trying.

The following successful experiment
is reported. A Frenchman is to be
credited with discovery that if mortar
is likely to peel off, the tendency can be
prevented by substituting sawdust for
hair in the original mixture. He had
previously tried in vain to make mortar
that would stay in place on building
exposed to damp winds near the seashore.
After frequently renewing the mortar in
the old way, he tried the use of sawdust
in place of hair, and was quite success
full. The sawdust had been thoroughly
dried, and its coarser portions was re-
moved by sitting. Cleveland Trade Re

Gloves and Pin-Money.

Gloves were introduced into England
in the tenth century, but were only used
by the wealthy people, and were con-
sidered very valuable. AS New Years
gifts they were quite popular, or some
times glove-money'' in place of them.
Pin-money" originated in somewhat
the same manner. Pins were so costly
that money spent or laid aside for them
was called pin-money,' and it became
so important that it grew into the name
of dover, which was settled upon the
lady at her marriage.

"a" In selecting crops to plant it should
he borne in mind that the growth of
some crops impoverishes the soil more
than that of others, and also that some
make richer manure than others. A
crop of red clover, for instance, does not
impoverish the soil as much as one of
timothy grass, while ton of clover
will make manure worth about half as
much again as that made from an equal
weight of timothy hay. The manure
from given weight of peas and beans,
also, it is calculated, is worth twice as
much as that from an equal weight of
oats, barley, rye or Indian corn.

CB- An Iowa paper very truly says
that extra price received for superior
article is nearly all profit. And this is
especially the case with the farm. 1t
costs no more to raise good horse than
poor scrub. No more feed, care, or
time is required. And if the plug horse
can be raised so as to pay expenses, there
is fine profit in raising first-class
horses. The same in the case with meat
cattle. In fact, it costs more per pound
to raise such steer as would sell for
three cents per pound, than one which
sells for six cents per pound. In this
case there are nearly double the number
of pounds, and double the price per
pound, and yet, the choice steer takes
no more food or care then the other
In this case not only the extra price is
the profit, but the extra weight also.

Safe Robbed of $4,000.

A daring robbery was committed
at Westernport, in this county, on
Saturday morning. The store of
Messrs. J. S. Jamison g. Co, mer-
chants. situated on Main street, near
the bridge that spans the Potomac
river, connecting Westernport with
the town of Piedmont, w. w., is a
large three-story frame building, the
third floor being let to several secret
organizations. The lower part of the
house was used for the mercantile
business of the above named firm.
About 2 o'clock Saturday morning
Constable NaviL, who lives in an adj
joining building, was aroused from
his sleep by a loud explosive noise.
He sprang from his bed and raised a
window to ascertain what was the
matter. when ne was confronted by
two men who babe him with pointed
pistols to take his head in. ..
Mr.. N. retired from the window,
and knew nothing of what afterwards
happened until the arrival of Mr..
Kolbaugh, the store manager, dis
closed the fact that burglars had en-
tered the store, forced the paddock
from the door, and afterwards blown
open the safe with gundowder. From
the safe was distracted S35, 900 in reg
istered United States bonds, $4,000 in
cash, and about $4,000 worth of val.
liable papers. The latter we have
heard were picked up some distance
from the store and restored to their
owner. The registered bonds will be
of little value to the rogues. Three
suspicious characters have been no.

and summer trade. He guarantees
fit and satisfaction in every way.

Fun at a Wedding.

We remember attending we'd

when the minister propounded the
usual question, twill you take this
man to be your husband?" etc., she
meekly replied " you please"
Only two months later, upon being
questioned whether she was happy,
the answer came: "You bet am"
Such are the sad changes brought on
by married lifel Who has not known
the young bride, so delicate, so frail
and angelic that she was hardly able
to lift" her eyebrows, but who, in
the brief period of one year, bad ac-
quired the power and art of propell-
ing a ten-pound fat-iron towards her
husbands head with a velocity and
painful accuracy only equaled Oy his
skill in lodging it. For just such
"mishaps" as are caused by tiat-irons
as well as for all bodily pains and
accidents, and for Rheumatism, Kel-
ler's Roman Liniment is the most
wonderful relief and restorative on

and endorse it as the best they have
