1t is, we think, generally admitted that the
grain for stock is greatly increased in value by
steaming and cooking before feeding Mr. Joseph
Watts, of ABaity, Ore, who has been engaged for
the last three years ia buying hogs and fattening
and killing them for the market, gives some of
the results of his experiments in that line. He
fattens from 100 to $50 hogs at a time, feeding
barley ahd sometimes wheat Under present
mand is limited and prices low so that
it is necessary to fatten the hogs as
soon as possible after being taken off the stub
BILE fields. In his experiments he finds that it
takes about six pounds of raw wheat, or nearly
seven of barley, to make pound Of pork and
that hog while fattening will consume that
many pounds Of wheat daily for each 100 pounds
of live weight. Ground barley. steamed in u
vat four hours, is the feed now used. The grain
fed is ground on the premises family gpist-
mill and a six-horse power being used fer the
purpose The results of feeding steamed cooked
food, as tried by Mr. W., are very satisfactory,
requiring one third less feed to grow the same
weight of pork as compared to using raw food
Good sound pork raised from feeding corn,
wheat and barley. as a rule varies little if at
all, in price from that from hogs principally
raised by Cinnamon and others on slop and
garbage from hotels, and offal from slaughter
houses. This of course, Is wrong: 1T is an in
justice both to the producer and the consumer Of
the best pork, and needs regulation.
A cheap and convenient steamer for this pur-
pose may be made by taking I 3-+by IA or Isl inch
lumber and making a trough laring at the top,
with ends grooved in and a bolt run through to
hold the sides firmly up to their place. The bot
tom IS made of stove-pipe iron closely nailed
over the outside edges. A furnace upon which
the trough is to rest may be built either of brick
or by digging a trench in the ground. An old
stovepipe should be attached to carry up the
smoke and create a draught for the fire. The
size and length of the trough may be suited to
the needs of the user but it will give better sat

Who Mrs. Grmdy Was.



Who was Mrs. Grundyl Ii seems strange, in
deed, that so little should be known about the
anteeedents of Mrs. Grundy, who is always so
anxious to know about other people, but the
fact must be admitted that Mrs. Grundy' s
origin is enveloped in the profeundest mystery.
Nobody knows who she. was or how
she first entered society. She WAS not

Mrs. Malaprop. She FIRST made known her ex-
istence to the public on the 18th Of February,
1900, in drama entitled 'Speea the Plough

of the characters alludes frequently
to her mysterious influence by the
words, What will Mrs. G1undy say" Beyond
this nothing is known of her. There is, of

Sixty years ago, at the time of her marriage
Mrs Polk considered remarkable for her
beauty and twenty years after, when she pre-
sided at the White House, it was so fresh and
unimpaired as to attract great admiration and
be noted in the published works and private
journals of distinguished foreigners. Time, of
course, has stolen the vivid coloring and curved
outlines of youth, but he has not robbed her of
the upright figure and dignitied carriage. and
has left brightness in her eyes and vivacity

charm in her faultless manners Crowned with
eighty years of honor she rose to receive us.
From the library of the dead President she can
gaze upon the tomb that marks his resting
place, and in that same library remain his hat,

and different purpose in every heart. Mr.. Curtis

which he will not so to defeat Blaine When he is told
he cannot beat Blaine with Edmunds he shrugs his
shoulders and says the responsibility will rest with

to Edmnhds They want to beat Blaine, but cannot
appreciate victory purchased by the nomination Of
Edmunds. The truth is that neither Edmunds nor
Arthur can be said to be in the race beyond the
tent Of bare possibilities. If union Of these two
forces We're possible, it would still leave Logan and
few favorite with broken booMs, from the frag

Tan1agno, the most famous living tenor, has
engagement, which closed last night In com
mon with thousands of others, visited the Scala
Theater, where 1.-The Prophet was produced,
with Tamagno, CT course, in the title role. The
excitement was intense, applause, enthusiasm
and cries of bravo" constantly inteRrupting the
artists. Nnen the great tenor appeared he was
fully fifteen minutes acknowledging the greeting
extended to him. He was called before the foot
lights at least twenty times and the presents be-
slowed upon him embraced boxes of iewelFy and
many other costly articles. Dainty handker-
chiefs were constantly being waved by the ladies
and the star evineed genuine emotion at the
ovation rendered him. Tamagno is here
regarded as the most wonderful tenor Of the age.
His voice is beautiful and powerful to an extra
ordinary degree. It is capable of covering 150
orchestral instruments. 100 musicians compris-
ing double orchestra upon the stage, 800 cho-
rus voices and ten soloists. In appearance
Tamagno is tall and slender and BLONDE of the
most pronounced type. He is thirty years of
age and Of fine figure. The costumes worn by
him are magnificent and his jewels the rarest Of
precious stones. An expression of establishment
was visible OH the face of every member Of the

picture did he present of Christ. His poses
were copied fFoan pictures produced by the great

The Coronation Chair of Great Britain.

LonuOn Ielegfaph-
Last night, in the House, of Commons, Mn.
Kenny complained that the public notice at
tached to the coronation chair in Westminster
Abbey had been altered by the omission of all
reference to the legend that the coronation stone
lin Irish Liza Fall was first used
for the coronation of the Irish kings,
and was only carried to Scotland by
try Mr.. Shaw Lefevre, in reply, offered to
show the honorable member letter of explana-
ton he had received from the dean. The legend
to which the honorable member referred was
not admitted to be accurate by many of the best
Irish authorities, The explanation furnished
by Dean Bradley was to the following effect:
Among the interesting features of Westminster
Abbey the coronation stone has always been
popular. Many years ago an inscription in
Latin was attached to it stating that the stone
was the pillow on which Jacob rested his head at
Bethel. and the legend went on to say that it
was carried from Palestine to Egypt, and thence
to Spain. From Spain it was said to have been
conveyed to the Hill of Tara in Ireland
In the year 1851, in order to meet the conven-
fence of the visitors to the Great Exhibition the
head guide wrote on a label notice to the effect
that the stone had been used at the coronation of
the ancient kings of Scotland and Ireland, but
omitted all reference to the legend relating to
Jacobs pillow, while retaining the closing part
referring to Ireland. The label having become
dusty and dirty the guide, whe has considerable
antiquarian knowledge turned it over recently,
and on the back wrote simply the historical fact
with regard to Scotland, and ignored the legend
entirely. Dean Bradley adds that biologists
have conclusively shown that the chair is of
Scotch limestone and that no stone of the kind
is to be found IN Palestine or Egypt He has,
however, in contemplation the addition of sep
arate inscription, setting forth the curious le-
gend of its travels in the Holy Land as distinct
from the authenticated history OF the stone.
