The Commissioners were in session
last Monday and had the building of the
Children's Home before them again, but
done nothing practical. There is "sand"
lacking in that body on this matter
| Gentlemen, settle the business at once
and be done with it. The longer you
hesitate and waver the worse for you.-
Don't fool with it any longer. Business
is business, and let it be done. Do what
you honestly believe to be right and just
to yourselves and the county, and you
need have no fears of the result. They

Suicide steadily increases in civilized
society, as a bold matter of statistics, but
statistics do not give the striking increase
of suicide among the very young and the
successful. The past few months has
included the suicide of three rich men,
two of them millionaires, and there art
few months in the year which does no
include the suicides of children under Il
or IA. When to this is added the casua
fact that a clergyman has recently JUST
fed suicide for the incurable, and tina
Mr.. H. W. Beecher has not hesitated tt
turn a sentence with the phrase "the
grace of suicide"-as if self-murder nigh
in some shape be meritorious-it is diff
cult to avoid the conclusiont that the sen
timent and attitude of the community
toward this crime is slowly changing
, 1t excites less horror than it once did
and is oftener in the thoughts OF men a:
a possible escape from the worry, thu
pressure and the disasters of civilized
life.

Be In Season.

There is always an advantage gained to
farmers by prosecuting the labor necessary
to the farm in season. If necessary work
is delayed, circumstances are liable to
occur that will keep all the work OF the
year out of its regular season for accom-
plishment. Last spring was an excellent
illustration of this fact. In the very early
spring, there was season of compara-
lively warm weather, with fine oppOrtu-
mites tor the performance of farm labor.
which was indulged in by some; others
from fear of frosts, delayed work and soon
came on rains. so that it was impossible
to work. the planting of crops was delay
ed; being followed by dry weather, the
effect was to retard growth, and especially
in the case of corn, considerable was
caught by an early frost in an unatural
state, whereas seasonable work would
have avoided such result. There is
world of truth in the saying that it is much
better for the farmer to drive his work,
rather than be driven by it.

Helpful Hints.

Dusting should be whipping process.
Do not attempt to drown vegetables
while cooking.
If you work by gaslight, the jet should
be shaded, and the light clear and steady
Wash the hands thoroughly before u.s.
ing glycerine. and make the application
before the skin is quite dry.
1t any poison has been swallowed, give
instantly half glass of cold water, with a
heaping teaspoonful each of common salt
and ground mustard stirred into it.
Sponges which are to be used in the
bathroom may be sottened by boiling for
a few minutes in three waters, placing in
cold water each time.
Chamois skins make excellent busters
for furniture and with careful washing
they will last for years. They should be
washed in cold water with soap. rinsed in
clear water, and dried in the shade.
Starch for laces: Take the best fine
starch and mix in the proportion of two
tablespooutuls to as little water as will
make a smooth paste. and to this add a
pint of clear coffee ;let it boil ten minutes
add a little spermaceti, strain it through a
piece of muslin. and it is ready for use,

Feeding Pigs the First $50 Days.

Feeding Pigs the First $50 Days.
As we have often said, ,pig-raisers should
avoid giving young pigs specially fat
tening food. In the dairy there is plenty
of skim-milk. which is well adapted to
grow the young pig. as it is rich in phos-
phate OF lime to grow the bones, and OF
cneesy, albuminoid matter to grow the
muscles A little corn may be given with
the milk. Such pigs never grow into lit
tie round dumps Of tat, but grow into
rangy shoats. Yet. probably, majority
of our readers have the pigs without the
skim-milk. and we must name the food
for pigs under such circumstances. One
OF the best foods for the Young pig ls
small quantity Of linseed-o oil meal, table
spoonful to l5-pound pig. increased as
the pig grows this, fed with oats and corn
ground together, made into a slop, will
cause rapid growth. but not premature
fattening. Cotton-seed meal is sometimes
used, but we cannot recommend 1t tor
Young pigs. 1t is not so easily digested.
and it has not the same beneficial laxative
effect as linseed-oil meal, which is found
to be a promoter of health in the pig.
This can be procured at any considerable
town all over the country. and those who
raise large numbers of hogs can
afford to send to the oil mills tor it, and
get it at wholesale rates. 1t can be bought
at the mills at 500 to S25 per ton, and it
is always worth these prices as food. 1t
is so rich in muscle forming matter as to
be of great value to feed with corn. which
is so deficient in this quality National
