The pig has been recently spoken Of in
contempt when compared with our other
domestic animals. But II we examine his
good qualities at all critically we must
award him high place in our agricul.
ture.
He is found to produce pound Of pro.
duct from less food than either cattle or
sheep, and is therefore the most economi.
cal machine to manufacture our great corn
crop into marketable meat. Our people
are becoming wiser every yearand export.
ing less, proportionately, OF the raw
material, and more Of condensed product.
II It takes seven pounds OF corn on an
average to make pound Of pork, as is no
doubt the case, the farmer begins to see
the great economy OF exporting one pound
OF pork, bacon or ham, instead OF seven
pounds OF corn. The difference in cost OF
freight makes profit Of itself; besides
the pound OF meat is usually worth more
than seven pounds OF corn in the ioreicn
market The production OF pork should
be encouraged on the further considerS.
ton that It carries of less Of the valuable
constituents OF the soil than beef. The fat
pig contains only three.fourths US much
mixed matter per'cwt. as the fat steer, and
only two.tifths as much nitrogen per cwt, !;
and therefore the production OF ton OF
pork on the farm will carry off little
more than half the fertility carried of bv
ton OF beef; besides ton OF beef will
require nearly fifty per cent more food TO
produce It. This gives in round numbers
the comparative effects OF producing pork
and beef, tits thus evident that the MIC
should have high place in our agricul-
ture; should be iostered in every way, his
capabilities studied and pushed, his dis.
ease carefully noted and prevented, for he
Is the most promising meat producing an
imal on the farm. The pig is an excellent
adjunct to the dairy, turning all the refuse
milk and even whey into cash. As he Is
king OF our meat exports, so let us treat
him with great consideration, -!Moore's

TnE GAINESVILLE Enterprise says the bulk
Of the wool clip Of Eastern Ohio has been
purchased at from 30 to IS cents, and a
few sales have been made at 30, 81 and
IS cents. 1t seems that the farmers who
held longest got the highest prices, and
the tendency Is still upward, but we
should think that now, while the market
is blooming" would be an excellent time
to sell. The rapid sale OF the wool clip
and the distribution of q great deal Of
really money will have a tendency to
make money matters easier in the rural
districts, and the effect will soon be felt in
general trade.

THE WOOL MARKET.

Interview With n Leading Manufacturer
on the Cause OF the Present FURRY.
Washington (PA.) Observer.
The WalCottville Wooden Mills, located
at Walcottville, Conn, have a reputation
second TO no other establish ment in the
United States, in the manufacture Of fine
cassimers and face goods, such as doeskins.
Mr.. George Workman, leading proprietor
OF these mills, and for more than twenty
five years heavy buyer OF fine woods in
this market, put in m appearance among
us this week. An Observer reporter hunted
him up at the Fulton House and after
preliminary talk on commonplace topics
asked for an opinion Of the cause OF the
present furry in the wool market.
"Well, said Mr.. Workman, in his pleas.
ant, hearty manner, ~ have decided
opinion on that subject, and it agrees with
that entertained by all the manufacturers
east with whom l have talked. During
February and March last, wool in the
eastern market dropped to the lowest
figure it has reached since '6l. l bought
10000 pounds at Sll. A friend OF mine,
Mr.. Geo. Bullock, bought $1,000 from
Thomas Ice, OF Philadelphia, for 81. The
result Of il was that q certain number Of
heavy concerns went into the market a lit.
tie later and cleaned it up. Several mills
that l know OF laid in an entire wears
stock. The Pacific Mills, ut Lawrence,
Mass, purchased between two and three
millions and the Middlesex Mills, 1900.

"Can present prices be sustained?"
81 do not think they can, unless the

ably, which will hardly be the case. You
see that most Of the heavy buyers are now
OF the market and 1t would be suicidal for
smaller concerns to buy strongly at present
prices. They will get in about four
months stock and then let up for fall QUO
tations, as propose doing. Analysing
the cause OF tho present furry it can be
seen that Q reaction will in all human
probability set in soon"
"What Is the outlook for manufacturers
in the east?"
''Rather discouraging. Our firm manu-
features staples and are not forced to sell
at sacrifice at the close Of the season.
But l know firms, and will instance the
Uxbridge Wooden Company, that are
closing out ll.ounce goods that shoaldnot
be sold at less than 81 % at IS and 95

these times, and ii Is an easy matter to

CONVENIENT BEAN POLES.

Take three common laths to every two
hills, two for the beans and the one fol
brace, set in the form Of a tripod, letting
the tops cross about one inch or more,
and one four-penny nail will hold them
together. The object OF letting them
lap by little is to hold the vines up, OF
when the top is reached OF course they
lop over and can not slip down MS they
would do on straight smooth pole. Some
Of these beans will grow eight feet or more
in hight, but there is no necessity for it,
and better crop is produced by clipping
the ends OF the vines.

A writer in foreign. journal devoted to

the introduction Of the japanese goose in

beautlfulin appearance as II is possible for
goose to be. 1t is eQuallyat home on

graceful and swanlke; they Withstand

domesticated geese, and can 10 kept with.
out shelter even in the most severe winter
season. The Japanese goose Is much more
prolific than the ordinary breeds, and
commences laying in midwinter, rarely
showing any inclination to sit before June
or July, which Of course renders it neces-
sary to hatch their eggs under ordinary
fowls Of some good heavy breed. The
Cochins have been found best adapted to
this purpose. AS regards food these birds
are by no means fastidious, and the yield
Of feathers and down is described us some

come stubborn. Remember that by pa
tience and gentleness be can be got to do
anything that will not hurt him.
.. When the horse shows signs Of shy
ing at an object, do not beat him, but
lead him up TO it, allowing him to stand
and look as he comes closer, and after he
examines it few times he will not fear
anything of the kind again. In passing
by hedges with colt, throw in stones and
stop him until he takes no notice OF the
noise.
8. Before putting on any article Of har-
ness, let your colt smell it, and then rub
against his head, neck and body.
4. Always start horse with the voice,
never with the cut Of the whip. In start
ing turn little to one side, in stopping
when going up a hill do the same.-LOndon

ferred upon the matter, and | thought
its cause could not be so well promot-
ed by separate as by united meetings.
And so, for the present at least, We
work together on this wise. The col
lege allows me to arrange for and To-
cate the meetings, and gives me the
assistance of one of the following
named gentlemen to each meeting,
viz Prof. w. o. AtwateF of Middle
town. Conn.,, who lectures upon the
General Principles of Fertilization
and of Feeding :" Prof. n. Greasy of
Amherst, who lectures upon the "Var-
ious diseases of farm animals, their
treatment, etc." Prof. Perkins OF the
Vermont University, who lectures up
on Parasites and insects, and the
laws of vegetable growth" The as
sisLance which these gentlemen are
thus enabled to render will make, we
think, the meetings eminently practi-
cal and useful to the farmers of YER
mont. Ii is desirable to hold as many
meetings as possible, and the superin-
tendent hopes that special efforts will
be made b. all, by old and young, to
attend them. lie also desires and eX-
poets the aid and cooperation Of all
those who have heretofore taken part
in the meetings, by way of reading
papers or leading in the discussions
upon any of the topics relating to ag-
lcuIture. Especially does he invite
all those who have been at any time
members of the Board Of Agriculture
ia Vermont to aid him in his work by
reading papers at the meetings or in
giving him any advice or information
by way of making experiments or
otherwise that will in any way adj
vance the cause of agriculture. Meet
ings will Ue announced duly in the
papers as far as possible. Our work
will be greatly facilitated if the friends
will make arrangements to receive us
when we wish to come, remembering
that we are all the while on the move,
and continued correspondence in To-
eating meetings is very inconvcnient.
Invitations to hold meetings will be
considered in their order, and are So
llcited in the future, upon the ground
that where the people are ready for us
there we may hope to do the most
good. JOHN b. MEAD,
