pigs in the spring, run them on grass
at mere nominal cost, with a little
milk and ground feed through the
summer, and make them weigh $50
pounds each by the following March.
This will give 10000 pounds of pork
that, at fair estimate, will be worth
g cents pound. This will bring
$682.50. Pigs will feed to a much
better advantage when divided up and
not too many kept in pen. Four in
one pen is enough, and they should
be carefully examined for the first
week to see that they agree, for if
there is one in the pen which is abused
he will be sure not to do much at lay
ing Oh flesh, and will materially reduce
the profits of feeding the lot. Pigs as
we'll as steers, to lay on flesh, must be
contented and not bothered by fighting
and restless animals. The program
should be, eat and sleep; and the more
they do of each the more flesh they
they will lay on. A pig while stand
ing on his hind legs trying to gaze over
the side of the pen, calling loudly for
his meals, is losing flesh rather than
laying it on, but the hog that is sound
ly snoring up to the moment that his
meals are brought to him, and then
gets up, eats, and goes back to bed
satisfied, is the animal that is doing the
most good for the food consumed.

Honey Harvest.

American Farm and Home.
From all parts Of the country come
reports Of an unusually abundant honey
crop. The Amer can Bee Journal
thinks the markets in the large cities
will be glutted, andunless a home mar.
ket is created the prices will be run
down very low and sales will be ex.
ceedingly slow. aea
We don't believe that the markets
in any of the large cities have been or
will be glutted with nice comb honey,
and there has not been time for the
last thirty years when it failed to sell
readily at from 20 cents to 80 cent,
per pound. Is here not ample profit
in producing hoIey at that price? II
is very true that extracted honey re.
quires a good deal of pushing. That
is one of the things easily adulterated,
and consumers much rather pay a fancy
price for comb honey, which they know
to be pure.

MAUD MULLERS RAKE.

Maud Muller worked at raking hay,
And cleared her 40 cents a day;
Her clothes were coarse, but her health was
fine,
And so she worked in the sweet sunshine.
Singing as glad as bird in May.
Barbara Allen" the live.long day.
She often glanced at the far off town,
And wondered il eggs were up or down.
And the sweet song died of strange disease,
Leaving phantom taste of cheese,
And an appetite, and nameless ache
For saltwater and ginger cake.
The Judge rode slowly into view,
Stopped his horse in the shade and drew
His fne-cut, while the blushing Maud
Marveled much at the kind he "chawed"
He was "dry as a fish, !" he said with wink,
And kind thought that good, square
drink
Would brace him up, so the cup was filed
With the crystal wine that the old spring
spilled
And she gave it him with a sun.browned
hand;
"Thanks!" said the judge in accents bland,
ga thousand thanks, for a sweeter draught
From a fairer hand"-but then he laughed
And the sweet girl stood in the sun that day,
And raked the Judge instead of hay.

scalding tear.
He is the young-man-afraid-of,the-

living alternately with each.

Profitable Hogs.

Breeders Journal
Pigs, to be raised at profit on land
that is worth from $40 to $50 an acre,
must be provided with the necessary
conveniences for handling them. 1t is
not necessary to have piggeries that
cost thousands of dollars, built of stone,
with a cement floor and slate roof,
but they can be equally comfortable in
cheap buildings. In summer the best
and most profitable place for the hogs
is in clover pasture, and those that
are large enough to be fed for the
butcher can be more proGtably fed here
on strong grain feed, in addition to
the grass, than they can in the close
and dirty pens They will roam more
and will not lay on quite so many
pounds Of fat as they would in confne-
ment, but they will, with their exer-
else, produce large quantity of lean
meat and be in frst.class condition for
a final feed of a couple of months in
close pens, the finishing off to be done
as the cold weather comes on and the
pastures becomes poor.
Breeders of hogs, to make success
of raising pigs at mere cost, ought
to have their sows raise but one litter
year and have them come in about
the first of May, letting them have
their pigs in an open pasture. In this
way the SOW is under natural conditions.
Her bowels are free from the costive-
ness which is so productive of trouble
at the time of pigging. In the sow,
costive bowels are the cause of the
loss of mere pigs at birth than many
are aware of, and the sow should be
fed with loosening bran mashes suf-
fciently long time before she pigs to
have her bowels in good open condi-
ton. After the pigs are once born and
get up and suck, if they are out on a
clover pasture they can be raised with
but little expense until the cold wealth
er of fall. If the little pigs are pro-
vided with liberal supply of ground
oats and corn, half and half by meas
ure, they will amply repay, with the
amount of flesh that they will lay on
and the growth they will make, all
the expense.
Pens in which hogs are to spend the
winter should be built so that they are
comfortable and warm. Floors can
not be warm if set from the ground SC
that the stiff breezes of cold air of q
temperature Of 10 degrees below zero
are allowed to blow under them. Pens
should not 90 to the other extreme o.
being so warm as to sweat the hog
when closed at night, for when the
doors are opened in the morning thu
inside of the building will be seen GOV
cred with frost, and the hogs will b
reused out of their beds with their hail
damp. They are in this condition very
likely to catch cold, and a severe
cough is the immediate result. If thu
hogs have warm floor and are pro
vided with liberal supply of warn
bedding, they can stand a moderate
degree of cold. There is scarcely {
pig>pen on the farms of the averag
farmers of the West which could no
be improved hundred per cent b,
the addition of few dollars worth o
lumber and the small trouble of fttlnj
the pen up in more comfortable ant
convenient manner, Why are the hoI
pens not cleaned out and hedded a
often as the horse.stalls?
Almost any farmer can raise thirt

TESTING THE NEW TARIFF.
How the Chinaware Dealers Hope to
Meet the Increase In the Duty.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-"There is one
thing that protection won't protect for some
time after the new tariff law goes into ei-
fect,n said Custom House Inspector to q
reporter yesterday.
"What's that2 ?" the reporter asked.
"Orockery," the officer replied. The
merchants are hustling along in the live
liest kind Of way to get in ahead OF the
new law. There are three drays loading
and two more ready for load. All crock
cry, and there Is hardly anything besides
crockery in the hold OF this vessel. What's
the point? It's clear as a crystal, when
you know how 10 look for it. Under the
present law the tariff on imported crockery
Is not over forty per cent. After July l 1t
it will be sixty per cent ad valorem on
plain ware, fifty.tiye per cent on decorated
and fifty per cent on all other grades. Be-
fore that law becomes operative there will
be such stock OF English goods in this
