Care of Hogs.

It is an exploded theory that hogs
can take care of themselves, eat any
kind of food and still thrive. TO obtain
the best results q farmer must use the
strictest care in feeding his young pigs
and give several articles of food besides
corn: Grass, roots, artichokes, potatoes
and beets can all be fed with advantage.
A writer in speaking of this whole mat
ter expresses himself thus: ''Probably
the most common failure to give good
care to Western swine is in the matter
of sleeping places. The hog is very
sensitive to cold, and will try and keep
warm by burrowing into his litter, or,
when in large numbers, crowding close
together or upon each other. Either of
these is directly opposed to receiving a
supply of pure air, and the hog needs
this as much as other domestic ami
mails"

Capt. Chichester's looks and words
seemed to give fresh proofs Of his af-
lection, and she lived in 8 dream Of JOY
and love. The awakening came, when
one morning ct breakfast she heard
Sir Charles Brandon say: 6 Chichester,
here is an invitation to You from Lord
Wildwood. i. am going to shoot with
MIN tomorrow, and he hopes will

"Oh, do move on, Miss Molyneux,"
said Jane Norris, '.you are keeping us

Florence disengaged her hand and
went upstairs. Her happiness was at
an end. They would never meet again,
and he had said nothing to her. Nay,
it almost seemed as if he had avoided
speaking to her. What fool she had
been to think he cared for her! An un-

on the envelope and motto. The in

tore it open, and read the contents as
quickly as her agitation would permit.

Land hunters are plenty in our parts
now, and they seem to be we'll pleased

have to come down with the stamps"

some OF our citizens have been dIsposing
of some OF their real estate, thereby
easing themselves of financial burdens.
and at the same time putting themselves
in better shape To help develop the
country.
The Sharer brothers are pretty good

''Off'' in his Christian life his prayers
would hardly bring him the desired aid.
So he thought to compromise the mat
ter and his prayer was as follows: ''O
Lord, if yer can't help me please don't
help the BAR, but jist keep still and yel

that he will get badly ''chawed up''

The LenOra Leader, in its issue of last
week, in a lealer on the Senatorial ques-
ton, does Mr.. Granger manifest injus-
Jice, on bOththe questioned his standing
and on matters growing Outsof the Con-
gTessiOnal situation and the u. S. SEN
atOrShip. We do not know, of course,
what the Leader bases it's opinions upon,
but it is fair to presume it will be willing
10 correct its Measurements when called
40 its attentiO..
In the first place Mr.. Granger was a
supporter of Judge Hanback,, both before
the comfy convention and after, and of
course remains so. In the next place it
was With mis- advice and app oval that
the convention of last Saturday, after
iUs composition being shaped almost ex-
clusively upon the question of who
should receive the delegation from this
county to the Oberlin convention, and
resulting in 80 to II in his favor, that
the convention passed resolution en-
dOrsiDg Hon. John j. Ingalls, for his
own successor.
In view of The above facts, it seems
TO us that it would be fair TAI drop ont OF
the discussion, these questions, and tad
uniting that both he and Hon. j. r..
Hamilton stand on common ground)
Eiew the matter of who shall be Senator
from the stand point of who will best
represent the interests of the district
should he be chosen as Senator.
Against Mr. Hamilton we have no word
to say, and should he be chosen as our
cand. date the HERALD will support him
as heartily as it knows how. But Mr.
Granger is also man against whom no
word can be said and in whose favor
much might be said, and the Leader and
other papers of the District should re-
member that what is said while smart
ing under defeat by defeated candi-
date or his intimate friends should
always be received with some degree oil
allowance Their sober second thought,
like ours on the Congressional question,
will do much better TO follow

ing questions were taken mp and dis
cussed by the association: Question,
SHOULD we feed sheep for mutton or
for WOOL This question was gen
orally discussed by the association,
much interest being manifested by
the members.
Next came up the question as to
how ''Can we best Gespose of our
wethers.'' 1t was the general opin
ion of the members that it was best
to take them out of the herd early in
the fall aud feed them for market,
feeding grain such as rye, corn and
oats, rye was fAvorite grain with all
the members for feeding purposes.
The question "What kind of bucks
should be used for breeding purposes.
Was continued until meeting. On
the question of representing the
sheep industry of the association at
the next Phillips County fair was re-
ferred to Willard Hanson. r. M.
Baker and John Rooney, as com

Perhaps few items from this part Of

presumption will be duly accredited to
the ignorance of the writer in regard to
such matters, but am anxious to say
to the boys that SO far as the seasons
are concerned that which we have long
waited for is here. The year of Jubilee
am Come! Shake!
Never before since the first settler
laid off his coat and went to work on
the banks of the Solomon has the pros

been so promising or those already ma
tured. so good. The rye crop is simply
immense. such as only Kansas can pro-
duce. We saw Hncie Henry Ferritt

that grain i'll the streets of Log an, meas
uI1ng seven fest nine inches In height.
The fall wheat is equally good as is also
spring wheat, potatoes and all kinds of
vegetables and small grain, while the
corn, sorghum and all other crops are
almost assured.
Real estate is rapidly changing hands
and OF course rising in value.
The building boom has struck our
