Hints to Pork Makers.

While it has been demonstrated that
under %favoring circumstances twenty
pounds Of live hog can be made from
fifty-six pounds of shelled corn, it has
been even more thoroughly demon
strated that tens of thousands Of men
every year feed millions of bushels of
corn to hogs that never return ne
fourth that quantity, while a good round
per cent. of them fall even short of that.
A hog to fatten or ven grow rightly,
must not be cold, and especially not
cold and wet too, as he is sure to be if
much exposed in inclement weather;
hence, he should have quarters where
most of his time, when not eating, will
be passed in healthful sleep, warm and
undisturbed. This can not be had in q
leaky sly, or a manure heap. In re-
ferring to the plan Of keeping corn or
food all the time before them Il writer
SAYS: '.Surely in this way their APP
petite and relish for it can not be SO
good as when only as much is given as
they will clean up; then next time they
come with alacrity to what should be
to them an enjoyable feast. This by
no means signifies that they should be
allowed to become squealing, screaming
hungry. The more they eat the faster
they are likely to lay on flesh and fat,
and they will eat most when fed a rea-
sonable quantity, and at regular inter
walls. To keep them full, without be-
ING at any time cloyed, is the happy
medium to k."-C olman's Rural
World.

A Wagonload Of Dollars.

The vaults Of the subsTreasury are
over-stocked with silver, and General
Edwards a couple of days ago, de-
termined to move a portion of his stock
to n Safe Deposit Company. Ac-
cordlngly, about two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, an express wagon backed up
in front OF the main entrance to the in
surance building, and three officers, de-
tailed for the service, took position near
it. A gang of colored laborers with
hand-barrows, were then put into serv-
ice, and, for a half hour, they passed
in and out, carrying at each trip one
or two white duck bags, on whose sur
face were plainly outlined the big silver
dollars which formed the contents.
Each bag contained about one thousand
OF the coins, and two of the bags were
about as much as any one man was
capable OF carrying. The line of car
riers were under surveillance of de-
tectives from the moment they took up
their loads at the door of the vaults
on the main floor, until they deposited
them on the rear end of the wagon.
where two clerks were keeping tally.
Quite a crowd collected to witness this
great volume of precious metal, and
many OF the expressions of the darkies
and OF the passers-by were amusing.
When ninety sacks had been loaded
into the wagon, representing ninety
Thousand dollars, the big springs were
very. much fattened and the vehicle
creaked.-St. Louis Republican.

As to the Postal Card,

1t is a good rule never to use a postal
card for any message which could not
with propriety be shouted across the
street. There are many matters to be
communicated from one human being
to another, which are nobody's bust
ness outside of those who do the COM
municating. 1t does not necessarily
follow that these things are always
secrets, or that they are anything to be
ashamed of. But there is a sanctity and
a degree of decorum in a sealed letter
which never a pertain to the open
card. The card is easy, hasty and of
little trouble to write. But for the
message of affection, the neighborly
greeting, the exchange of social fellow
ship or the conveying of important in
formation, let us enjoy the old-fashioned
sealed letter. philadelphia Press.

of DR.: Frances A. Nye, of Harlem, in
the Medical Register about a year ago.
Thinking she might be a relative, he OBJ
tanned an introduction to her. A COM
parison of family histories revealed that
they were not related. A years ac-

of names and professions was also
united with a coincidence Of dispositions.

AND now, as the violets appear, and roses
become about twenty cents apiece cheaper,
the young man tells his friends that he
thinks of going to Europe some time in
June. And all his contemporaries secretly
envy him, ana look upon him as a man
born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He
tells them how he is going to climb the
Alps, and sail over Lake Como, and wander
through the Colosseul.. and the Castle of
Chillon. He makes a great impression on
his friends, and invites them to see him off,
which they do with a great deal of enthu-
siasm. Then he disembarks at Halifax, and
goes off to Michigan, where he spends the
summer on his uncle's farm, and gets the
skin of his hands thick and lard enough to
sole a pair of boots, or to be palned off
anywhere for a clearinghouse steak. And
when he comes back he speaks of Ravenna
and Athens as though he had been living
there in opulence all summer, and not hoe
ing corn and chasing mad bulls.-Fuck.
