1t is mistake to allow sows to breed
before they are at least year old, as
they are not then sufficiently matured,
and pigs from such are sometimes too
weak to live. Hogs ought not to sleep
under old houses or in bed OF dust
If one has dozen hogs, pen ten feet
square, closely walled up on the east
and north sides, to break off all the
raw, cold winds, dry in all kinds of
weather and a good roof overhead, is
the best sleeping place for these ami
mails. Put in leaves with clean litter q
foot in depth, and sprinkle on these
every week or two kerosene oil from q
common garden watering-pot. If there
are signs of lice or mango, put little
carbolic acid with the kerosene oil.
By having an open pen for hogs to
sleep in, one may 60 into it and exam
inc it, and see that it does not get foul,
and can clean it out and put fresh,
clean litter in the place of the old, and
mix sulphur, kerosene oil, carbolic
acid and other things, to keep the
litter from becoming foul and I'M
healthy. This cannot be done when
hogs sleep under old houses, or in shell
terless nests of their own making in

Spring Care OF Currnnt and Gooseberry
Bushes.
Currant and gooseberry bushes should
receive attention, first, by trimming off
all dead branches, and such of the live
ones as are necessary to bring the bush
into proper shape; then the land should
receive liberal dressing of good, we'll
decomposed manure, or what would
be still better, light dressing of
manure and liberal dressing Of ground
bone, say six pounds to the square rod.
Whatever implement is used to loosen
up the soil and cover the fertilizers
should not penetrate the soil very deep,
as the roots of both the current and
gooseberry bush naturally grow very
near the surface, and those that run the
nearest to the surface are the most i'm
portant feeding roots. Many planta-
lions of currant bushes have been very
much iniuted by blowing the land and
cutting off all of the spreading feeding
roots. 1t is important to stir the soil
early in the season, and great care
should be taken to clean out every turf
of grass or other plants that have sur
vived the winter. as success in growing
these fruits is made much more sure by
clean culture.

Something for Nothing.

All newspaper publishers have had
experience with men who want to
advertise themselves or thier bust
ness in newspapers without cost to
themselves. 1t is pitiable to see the
shabby means they take to attain
the end they have in view. Men,
who would feel insulted if they were
called dead beats, will with bland
etfrontery ask publisher to "please
mention so aud SO" Ian advertise
ment or, handling in what is really
an advertisement under the guiss of
communication, they will say,
"Here's a little item that will help
you to fiji up with" Men who do
this-and there are some in every
town-call themselves honorable and
would not think of asking q real es-
tate owner to- let them use one of his
houses few Isnths~ser nothing;
nor would they ask him to fett~them
cultivate and use a part OF his farm
without expecting to have to pay
rent for 1t.
The advertising columns Of his
paper is to the publisher what the
house OR farm is to the real-estat
owner-his source ofrincome. Why
any one should expect the newsps-
per publisher to be more generous
in squanderipg bis substance than
other business men is something
that cannot be accounted for, except
on the supposition that some people
have an idiotic idea that printers set
up type for the love of the work,
and that ink and type and printing
presses are gifts from heaven to sin.
full men, who publish newspapers
merely for the purpose of smoothing
the pathway Of their fellow men on
the rugged road to fortune, and who
hope not for reward this side of The

the bar Der was passing the steel over
his face,..the man began to sled tears.
This attracting the attention OF the
proprietor of the shop, he directed
the manipulator OF the razor to
sharpen the implement. As the
shave continued the mans tears
flowed increasingly, and the barber
continued TO whet bis tool, occa-
sionalIy changing razors, and stri
wing as diligently as possible to
amellorate the suferings of his Gus
toner.

the latter cup. "Your face must be
very tender. Does it pain you
much?
"a razor pain me! Do you sup

"Then what the deuce have you

boss.

the barber sadly. II never bleed a

MAKE SOMEBODY GLAD.

BY R. r. DAVIS.
On life's rugged road,
As we journey each day,
Far, far more Of sunshine
Would brighten the way,
If, forgetfni of self
Aud our troubles, we had
The will and would try
TO make other hearts glad.
Though Of the worlds wealth
We've little in store,
And labor to keep
Grim want from the door,
WitRa hand that is kind
And heart that is true,
To make others glad
There is much we may do.
A word kindly spoken,
A smile or a tear,
Though seeming but tribes,
Full often may cheer.
Each day to our lives
Some pleasure 'twould add
10 be conscious that we
Had made somebody glad.
Those who sit IN the darkness
OF SORROW, so drear,
Have need of n word
OF solace and cheer.
There are homes that;ar desolat
Hearts that are sad
Do something for some one,
Make somebody glad.
