When to Feed Corn for Patching Hogs
Inns question has been asked and an

Store hogs in healthy condition and of
good breed should lay on pound of adj
ditional weight for every FIVE and six
tenth pounds of merchantable corn fed to
them, and will do it on the average, with
reasonable care. When they do not do
it, we think there is detect somewhere.
If the above statement, which in our
experience we have verified, be true, one
bushel of corn-a part in meal and fed
as slop, and part in the ear or shelled-
should make ten pounds addition to
the weight. Ten bushels of corn will then
represent 100 pounds of pork The fol-
lowing conclusion is then reached: 1t
pays, when corn is worth 80 cents per
bushel, to convert it into pork when it
sells for So per 100 pounds, as the man.
ure will abundantly pay for the care
when properly saved. So when corn is
40 cents, pork should sell at "a per 100
pounds; corn at so cents, pork So; 60
cents, pork Sc; corn rs cents, pork should
sell at $3.50 When corn is worth 81 80,
pork must sell at SIS per 100 pounds. If
the pork sells for less than is thus repre-
sented by the correspondingprice of corn,
it is fed at loss; if more, the advance is
proft-in each case regarding the manure
as pay for the trouble
Fattening is accomplished most profit
ably as the cool weather of autumn adj
vances, the animals having plenty of
water or mud in which to roll when they
choose, with good shelter and warm quar-
ters in which to lie. The feeding place
should be kept clean, and corn in the ear
or shelled fed night and morning, as much
as they will eat up clean, and slop or
meal at noon, with pure clean water
night and morning. The fatter they be-
come the closer their quarters may be.
In the early stages of fattening they need
room for exercise, with wheat bran, char
coal, and sulphur occasionally to keep
them in condition and increase the size
of bone and muscle, for when quite heavy
they need only rest.-Prair5e Farmer.

States Agricultural Bureau, for Deem

is as culpabIe as they Now, just as soon as the
committee entered into the consideration of this case
they discovered it to be most mertorious one and
made favorable report thereon. 1t must be
evident that in all these cases, (and there are
hundreds if not thousands just like them, which
Mr.. Bentley has shelved) had the Commissioners
entered into their consideration animated by
the spirit which actuates the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, he would have come to the
opinions they did as to their character But he will
not dive into minute examinations of facts and cir
cumstances belonging to cases but simply takes fu-
gitive look and if there is the least technical obec
ton to granting the pension, the application is
rejected Then it must. be reached through the
Invalid Pension Committee who bring out the
full merits of the case-aU that lfr. Bentley
could have readily discovered-and it reports in
favor of the claimant Such being the history con
cerning evidence connected with pension applica-
tions and the two methods presented by the com
mittee and the Commissioner, the necessity for q
Court of Pensions as advocated by Mr.. Geddes o.
Ohio last winter is impertive. Mr.. G. assures US
that he will bring up his bill at upon the meet
ing of Congress and labor for its speedy passage.

A Debt on Honor and Debt on Bond.

"A DeDC on Honor ana q DeDJ on fSOnu
The debt due our Union soldiers for bountes
which were intended to be pid by the passage Of
the Equalization Bounty Bill, is emphatcally debt
ofhonor This species ofobligation among all bu-
siness men and even with members of the sporting
fraternity whose ideas of morality regarded by
many not specially to be emuated, is recognized
sacredly binding than any species of in
debtedness If A meets B on a street in New York
and says to him: ''I am short to-day-lend me
$l,000-will hand it to you tomorrow" and
opens his pocket-book and pays over said amount,
taking evidence of the loan, witnesses being
presentone of these debts is created and A, if an
honorable gentleman will feel a pressure upon him
to settle that debt before any others due-be they
notes. drafts, bonds bills of exchange, or any other
form of indebtedness The reason for this is obvi-
ogs The money loaned is on the basis of the honor
of the borrower that forfeited the borrower feels he
will be henceforth but subject for contempt and
reproach The soldier, when he entered the army
trusted the Government for the bounty which it has
been continuously paying. To quote the words of
Senator Morton in his speech on the Equalization
Bounty Bill:
/ The Government by three four bounty laws estab-
shed the principle of paying bounties the of 800
year That is the starting point wish TO state dis
tncty that the Government established the principle of
paying bountes the rate of 800 year. $50 for six
months $500 for years. and $500 for three years But
turned out that owing the construction of the laws
and the rules established by the War Department many
honoraby discharged soldiers did receive their bounty
at ALL
The soldier enlisted aware of this principle A
debt of honor created between the Government
of the United States and himself The Government
took his services and rendered no equivalent pay
ment Will not the people of the country realize
this fact Do they not know that this is part OF
the honest floating debt of the Nation that has
not been discharged? Because the soldier does not
hold any certificate of Indebtedness for this bounty
shall he be deprived of its amount? Shall con
struction Of the War Department cheat him out Of
his honest dues? No. thousand times no, for as
Senator Morton remarks at the close of his rrefuta
BILE speech;
Justice TO the soldier cannot always be deferred. 1t
must and will triumph some time If it does come
this Congress- it will come at other Congress 1t is
part of the debt much the $50 bonds tht

tice 1t obligation resting upon this Nation and
it takes S90 100000, $50 000 000 make differ

Hon William r. Myers

The good which one faithful friend can do for the
soldiers, is now so clearly shown, by the changed
action Of the Pension Office, since Mr. Myers start

train from again referring to that gentleman and his
present canvass in Indiana 1t would, indeed, be a
great misfortune to the soldiers of the whole coun-

If you turn to the early history of the United
States you will find that when GEORGE WASHING
TON having laid aside the sword at the close of the
war of the Revolution, assumed the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States, he was always afterward
addressed by the modest title of Esquire, nothing
more pretentious or aristocratic ever bestowed
upon him; he repudated all titles of anti-repub
lican character How changed are men. Now, we
not only dub r. b. Hayes HIS Ercelleacyn but

tend to command, l00, 900 men But not every fell

lean designations. They be Counts, Barons.

that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of the town are In . healthy

The streets are all IN good repair. and

order. As the cost Of new sewers and re-
pairs on old ones IL always very heavy, the
