There can hardly be doubt that hogs
are to rule high another year Farmers all
through the country have been selling close
and short since early last fall, when it be-
came certain tha, the corn crop would be
short. The number Of hogs wintcred was
less than usual, owing to high>priccd corn,
and the prospect of light corn crop again
this year has caused the marketing Of thou-
sands upon thousands early this summer
The supply Of hogs is unusually short, and
high prices must prevail.

TUE HABIT oY SAvrNa,-Childreu who

and economy is very important. AS go the
boys pennies and dimes, so, very likely, will
so the mans dollars and hundreds by and

the person accustomed to save has more
pleasure in laying up&tban speudthrift
ever knows. -
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly. Money so obtaiucd is
pretty certain to abide with its possessor.
But money that is inherited, or that in any
way COMES without fair and just equiva-
lent Is almost certain to 90 as it came.

last half of his life in affluence and comfort,

actual fraud. Among the wisest aud most
thrifty men of wealth, the current proverb

The Culture Of Jute.

AS is known by many of orr readers,
Mr.. Menelas has been planting and expert
menting with jute for the last four years.
There has never been any question about
the growing of jute in the Southern coun-
try-the only thing that has puzzled those
who planted it was cheap mode OF pre-
pairing it for market. The old process of
rotting it was too slow and expensive.
Many machines have been invented to ex-
tract the fibre from the wood, most of which
have been failures. But it seems that the
machine brought here from st. Louis, and
operated by Mr.. Albee Smith, is success.
1t is carried to the field and the jute is
passed through it as soon as it is cut down.
1t works well.
Mr.. Menelas has fifteen acres in jute that
will yield two thousand pounds per acre,
which can be sold at four and one half
cents per pound. 1t win thus be seen that
il is profitable crop,
