1t is most profitable to make pork
from young pigs, A bushel of corn
will produce more pounds of increase
in weight when fed to a pig three
months old. The cost of producing q
given weight of pork increases with the
age of the animal. If it is desirous to
produce an increase of one ton of pork
by feeding 100 swine that increase will
be more cheaply obtained by feeding
pigs under six months of age than by
feeding those which are year older,
or older ones. The man who allows his
young pigs to have a scanty allowance
of food permits the opportunity for
profitable feeding to slip by and is
obliged to produce his pork at an in
crease cost, by feeding when the swine
are older.

A BOYS SONG.

Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and over the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the mower mows the cleancst-
Where the hay lies thick and greenest-
There to track the homeward bee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Why the boys should drive away
Little sweet maidens from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so we'll
That's the thing never could tell.
But this know, love to play
Through the meadow, among the hay;
Up the waters and over the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Burrowing at ease. forget awhile TO dread

The crimson dahlias blossom full and fair;

Prom the wide barn, across the trodden way
Come on the air the scent Of fragrant mows
And the sweet breath OF cows.

HE WAS IN NO HURRY.

He was man who looked as If he
took life easy-one Of those sort of men
who seemed half inclined to die to save
the trouble Of breathing.
He sauntered into doctors Office the
other day as if time hung with leaden
weights on his hands.
Doctor in" he asked.
"Yes," replied the maid servant.
"Awake,"
"Yes, sir"
"All right just tell him I'd like to see
him. If he was asleep, / was going to
tell YOU not to disturb him. Is he at
breakfast :"
Yes"
"Well, l will wait until he gets
through"
He waited half an hour. At the end
Of that time the doctor appeared, hurried
ly wiping his mouth with his handker-
chief.
The man was leisurely examining an
album on the center table.
"Good day, sir, smiled the doctor.
"Ah, good day. Nice day."
Beautiful"
Remarkable, for this season OF the
year"
"Yes, SIR"
"Good for the crops"
Probably"
"Sorter looks like rain, though, in the
east"
The doctor assented.
The visitor then began on another
subject, and said that the grass was bet
ter than it had been for many years pre-
vious.
"What on earth does the fellow WANT"
reflected the doctor.
"Are you ailing, SIR" he asked.
"Oh, no"
"Your wife -
:" Bless me, MOI"
"Then," queried the doctor in desper-
alton, "what do you want Of me ?"
"Oh, l just called to remark" replied
the man as he got up, "that my mother
in-law was taken violently with fits thii
morning, and if you could just droE

JACK AND THE BEANS TALK.
Jack was bad boy, who loved to blow

|
Jack was bad boy, who loved to blow
peas and pebbles and things at people
through long tin tube and fetch 'em
back Of the ear, or in the eye, or any
where so that it would hurt.
One day as he was about to put a
bean in his pipe, preparatory to firing it
in the face Of a beggar not far off, the
bean said:
Jack if you shoot at the beggar you
will only waste me, for he is already
blind. Take me home and plant me in
your mothers garden, and this talk I'm
giving you now is nothing to the talk
you'll get when I grow up"
"Jack needed this advice and after
hitting the blind beggar in the small Of
the back with a boulder, he FASTENED
home and planted the bean.
Soon green shoot appeared, which
in very short time grew to wonderful
proportions, being as thick as a telegraph
pole and reaching far above the clouds.
Then Jack stole pair of pole climbers
from telephone man, and pumpernickel,
bologna sausage and mustard sufficient
for three days journey, from saloon
keeper and after setting fire to his moth
er's house he started for heaven,-here
he calculated to steal few pairs of gold
en- slippers and bring them to earth,
where they would do the most good.
Jack was much pleased with his trip,
his only regret being that he didn't have
a wagon load Of paving stones to send
crashing through few houses, but he
contented himself by eating all Of his
provisions, and at nightfall he crept into
a rift in the stock and fell asleep as
soundly as if he had been in church. This
was fatal to him, for in the process of the
stalks rapid growth the opening that
Jack crawled through became closed.
If this story teaches anything, it is
that, although as Daniel Webster said,
there is always room at the top" it is
not always policy to attempt to get there,
and further that if the attempt be made,
care should be taken not to fall asleep
on the road.
Had Jack been content to remain upon
earth he might have been train robber
or q bank cashier, and amassed for
tune in a speedy and noteworthy manner.
In his last moments, however he had
the consolation Of knowing that he would
die with his boots on, and that was
something.

A PORCELAIN OF THE REFORM
ALTON
something

In 1916, Martin Luther discovered aud
published " The German Theology" a book
which belonged to period one hundred
and fifty years previous. 1t originated
among mystical German monks and Is very
remarkable for the clearness of its views
on sin and salvation. At an age when the
Romish Church had so wretchedly OBJ
scured the bright shining of the Gospel by
connecting salvation with human merit
and making religion external, consisting
largely Of ceremonies, the clear views OF
this writer, or writers are truly wonder
full, showing with other facts earlier and
later that there has never been period
when there were not some who have had
clear view of the simplicity and purity OF
the Gospel.
1t shows that sin Is selflshness; Godli-
ness is unsehshness, the reproduction OF
the life Of Christ In US: that we must be
obedient to Gods win even to the forsak-
ing Of all things and that man may arrive
to so high degree in the new life as not to
be moved by outward things. The whole
book is full Of deep, rich and suggestive
thought.
Luther said that next to the Bible and
st. Augustine ''no book had come into his
hands that had taught him so much OF
what God and Christ and man and all
things are"
Chevelier Bunsen placed 1t next the Bi-
BILE and it Is held in high esteem among the
Cermaus aa n mammal of devotion and AS
passed through sixty editions.
Chas. Kingsley commends 1t as treatise
calculated to show US our utter sinfulness
and entire dependence upon Christ.
| And Prof Stowe looks upon 1t as calcu-
lated In these times, when the outward Is
pressing itself upon US with such impor-
tunity, to awaken the inward life.

ganization embracing the slaves from ev-
cry portion of the South. Our men, es-
capped from captivity, have been passed
by the negroes from plantation to plan
tation, from county to county, and from
State to State, with system and regu-
larty that could only result from organi-
zation. And the same thing occurred in
the same way in Texas, louisiana, Ar
kansas and in every State through the
South. At every point the same ideas
prevailed among the blacks, and the same
methods were adopted for the assistance
of distressed Union soldiers. Signs given
in Arkansas would be readily interpreted
by the negroes Of Georgia and South
Carolina This organization was too ex-
tensive and too effective to have been
perfected during the short time that the
war lasted. 1t must have taken years to
have worked it up with the limited means
of communication which the blacks pos
sessed. What its objects were, at the
first perhaps no one can tell but l can't
help thinking that if there had been no
war, the Southern people would have had
a trouble with the negroes that would
have surpassed anything they experienced
during the rebellion"

tage Of darkey regiment they never left
a negro alive if they could help it. l
remember at the battle of Guntown, when
the colored brigade came into action. The
Johnnies raised the cry Of no quarter to the
negroes"
THAT was their doctrine" said the
First Wisconsin, land they tried to live
up to it. You all know what happened
at Fort Pillow, and I heard Welch tell
ing the other day about how they bayo-
netted the unarmed negroes at Rcamss
Station"
"Yes," replied the Thirty-ninth Indi-
ana, 81 myself saw the rebel cavalry at
Stone River ride along our wagon train
on the Nashville pike and deliberately
blow out the brains Of every black team
ster they could find. don't know wheth-
er they did this because Of pure cussed-
ness or because they wanted to scare other
negroes out Of the idea Of taking refuge
under the Old Flag. If the latter was
their object, it was q most signal failure,
for the darkeys always embraced every
opportunity to get inside Of the Union
lines, and when the government conclud-
ed to make soldiers of them they were
eager to enlist l think there were very
few able-bodied men of all those negroes
who went into Savannah with us who did
not join the army"
