Feeding Pigs for Fattening.

An error quite prevalent among farm
ers and others in feeding and fattening
pigs, which often leads to disappointing
results, is the notion that the pig thrives
best and fattens fastest upon the most
concentrated food and does not require
bulk in its food to promote health All
are aware that corn, or corn meal alone,
with water, is not wholesome ration
for the OK or horse, but think that the
pig is so differently constituted that
bulk in food is not essential. A greater
error could hardly be conceived. In
the natural wild state the pig, as well as
the horse and OK, is accustomed to
bulky, less concentrated food, which
seems to have been forgotten, and he
is piled with concentrated food from
weaving age till slaughtered, except in
perhaps certain cases where economy
or parsimony is studied. From these
exceptional cases lessons ought to have
been learned that there is better way
of feeding than giving only the most
concentrated food. | have seen pigs
fed, some on only meal with water. and
others with meal mixed with other and
bulky food, and have invariably found
the latter the most healthy and always
ready to eat when their food was Of
fered and no waste occurred. Where
the pigs were fed with meal alone and
drink, the pigs after awhile seemed to
become cfoyed and ate less heartily,
ofton wasting much of their feed.
Theory indicates, to my mind that
meal fed alone goes into the stomach
in the state of dough, so that the gastric
juice cannot penetrate the mass to per-
form its office properly, while the more
bulky substance mixed with the meal
acts as divisor, permitting the gastric
juice to. pass through and digest it
rapidly. Clear meal being so slowly
digested, lying so long in the stomach,
creates disturbances and fever in the
system, while the pigs fed with more
bulky food are always healthy, lively
and ready for their food. Pigs fed on
meal alone are less evenly thrifty, as
they, after eating well for time, will
stop and fast awhile. They apparently
recover, and then eat again, but never
with the seeming relish of those fed
with the more bulky food. This easily
accounts for the fact that corn and cob
meal are said by some to equal corn
meal alone for feeding and fattening
purposes. ......
When we consult the chemist he tells
us what analysis decides; but when we
compare actual results we find that
there is something that chemistry fails
to reveal. We find it thus in many of
our farm operations. Science, while
throwing much light on our everyday
occupations, must have the aid of ex-
perience to demonstrate perfectly. The
two never clash, but assist each other.
Actual experience demonstrates that
corn. and cob meal is superior in feed
ing value to whole corn; not that the
same weight of each contains the same
nutriment, but that there is some factor
which lies below the surface, and that
factor think is explained in the fore
going. Cor. Country Gentleman.

IS THERE A BUSINESS PANIC
FORESHADOWEDs

Business panics sometimes occur
without any good reasons; it is moral
ly criminal to help on panic when
there is no justifable cause for the rea-
son, money panics always produce dis
tress to the working classes. There are
many prominent business men,
whether the wisest, we cannot say,
who seriously apprehend stagnation
and arrangement of trade; they say
confidence in the future is impaired by
the uncertain action of Congress, and
if the present Congress adjourns with
out settling the tariff, leaving it still
an open question, business failures in
great numbers will follow. Stocks of
various kinds have been depressed in
the market since the first of January
and are still gradually declining. The
many business failures which have re-
Gently occurred are attributable to the
apprehension of unfavorable or want
of decisive action on the tariff. Near
ly all the great manufacturing es-
Establishments of this country are in
timately dependent on the legislation
of Congress. If it were definitely set
tied that the present tariff would be
ct alone, the great industrial interest
of the country would move steadily on
as in past years.

Samuel Hale and John V. Aver, Of
Kenosha. Both of these gentlemen
came to Kenosha as early as 1897; they
were for number of years engaged in
the mercantile and grain trade, under
the well known firm of Hale & Aver.
Their success in business was varied |;
they relinquished their trade here in
1859 AMI established the iron company
before mentioned. They made this
business a great pecuniary success, and
in few years the firm of Hale & Aver
was distinguished as one of the most
wealthy in Chicago. They both retired
from active business some ten years
ago, and are now dead. Herbert c..
Aver, son of John V. Aver, after the
death of his father, became the chief
successor in the business of the COM
pany, which is represented as being
one of the greatest iron establishments
in the world. Among other causes al
legged for the failure of the firm is the
tinkering of the tariff in Congress.

HON. C. q. WILLIAMS.

(The statement below was accident
ally omitted last week.
Different statements having appear
ed in the papers in respect to the fu-
ture of Mr.. Williams, the following
article from the Lake Gene0G Herald,
wefeel authorized to say, is the correct
version as to his present purpose and
determinations for the future
In the first place Mr.. Williams is
booked for the Register. and not, Re-
ceiver at Watertown.
In the second place. Mr.. Williams
has been offered no foreign mission.
The fact is that Mr.. Williams owns a
tract of land near Watertown and he
had laid all his plans to develop his
property during the next two years
and voluntarily retire from Congress
at the end of that time. The result
of the late election anticipated him a
little on the latter point, and of course,
disturbed his plans. He did not want
to practice law again, nor did he want
to go out of the country even if he
could. Before he left home, his friends
say, he had decided on this Land Office
project, and went up to see Senator
Sawyer about it, who heartily APPROX
ed of it. When the matter was brought
before the President, he did not think
the place good enough, but suggested a
territorial judgeship, while the Secre-
tary Of the Interior desired to give
him the governorship Of one OF the
territories. Many strong and infuen-
tial friends, both in Wisconsin and out,
mentioned places abroad, and among
the rest that to Spain was spoken of !;
Senators Sawyer and Cameron insisted
upon filing an application for judge
ship, but Mr.. Williams told them all
that he did not want any of these, but
would be fully satisfied with land
office, simply because it would enable
him to carry out plans already formed.
The President and Secretary thereupon
allowed him to select the place and ten
dered it to him then and there without
the slightest hesitation. The salary
lis only $4,000 per year, but it is equal
to fully $4,000 at Washington. Now
If Mr.. Williams has not got what his
talents and his experience really en-
titled him to, or what his friends think
he ought to have, it is noBody's fault
but his own.
