The Pig as a Plowman.

Farmers everywhere are influenced
by the construction of railroads Gnd
other means OF quick transportation,
but none of them more SO than those
who grow meat as a branch of their
farm operations. The ~pork-raisers in
the older States come in competition
with the swine products of the prairie
States, where the pig is a condenser Of
the corn crop, and among the most
economical methods of sending that
cereal to market-yet even with cheap
freigLts, 1t will not do for Eastern farm
ers to abandon the sly, and look to the
West for their salt pork and ,lams.
There are economies to be practiced in
sw~ine-raising that will make the East,
ern farmer successful in his competi-
ton with the West. He has the pro-
lection of freights over long distances,
which can never be very much reduced.
The home market will always be re-
munerative, SO long as pork products
are in demand. His lands need ma
nure, and that which is made in the sty,
and under cover, is among the best of
the home-ma lie fertilizers. Herding
swine upon pasture, or old meadow,
that needs breaking up, is not very
much practiced, but is one OF the best
methods of raising pigs. They are as
easily confined wirhin Il movable fence
as sheep, utilize the grass and coarse
feed quite as we'll, and perform a work
in stirring the soil that sheep can not
do. The nose of the pig is made for
roofing. and we follow natures hint in
giving him Il chance to stir the soil. a
movable yard. large enough to keep
two pigs, can be made OF stout incl
boards, about fourteen feet long, and
six inches wide. For the corne posts
use two by four inch joists. Nail the
boards to the posts six inches apart,
making four lengths Or panels four feet
hjph. oFasten the corners with stout
hooks and staples, and you have u pen
or ward fourteen feet square, which is
easily moved by two men. Ii you place
two tifty-pound pigs into this
ward they will consume nearly all
the grass and other vegetation in
it, in three OF four days, and thorough
ly disturb the soil several inches in
depth. When they haze done their
work satisfactorily, the pen can be
moved to the adjoining plat, and so on
ward through the season. The advan-
tayes of this method are, that it util-
lies the grass and other vegetation, de-
stroys weeds and insects. mixes and fer
tilizes the suriaae of the soil about us we'll
a s the ordinary OF tillage. In
the movable yard there is thorough
work. Even ferns and small brush are
etfectually destroyed. Worms and bugs
arc available food for the pig. And it
is not the least of the benefits that the
small stones, if they are in the soil, are
brought to the surface, where they can

s. The Foreign Elements in Our Popu.
latiOn."

AS the great mass Of the immigration
has come since the year 1920, the
numbers of the foreign element in the
first and second degrees may be esti-
maed with approximate accuracy from
the number OF persons Of foreign birth
and parentage given in the census re-
turns of 1880. While 10, 1913, 75S immi-.
grants had landed in the United States
from 1920 to the middle Of 1880, there
were in the country in 1850, 1850 1876
persons of foreign birth or having one
parent foreign-born. If from this sum
we take 33,252, the surprisingly large
number Of persons of foreign birth hay.
Ing both parents born in the United
States, who are for all the purposes of
this study "nativcs,' we have, q o
lation foreign in the first. and second
degrees of IA, 1922, 744, of whom $780,
94S were foreign-born. This number
still does not represent quite all the
new element, since q large number of
small children figuring in the census
Of 1880 must have had parents Of
the younger generation of the new
population born upon our soil. There
is no record of these third-degree for
eigners, of course, and we must pro-
coed without regard to them, simply
assuming that the figures relating to
the old stock embrace q certain num-
Der, not proportionatety large, who be-
long to the new. We may Judge Of the
relation in which this mass Of people
Of foreign birth and %parentage stands
to the population which we are accus-
toned to regard as the leaven of our
nationality-thc stock to which all
other elements are to be assimllated if
possibility comparing it with the
white population of native parentage.
The whole population of the country,
minus persons of foreign birth and
parentage, native negroes, and Indians,
is %, 6Ol. 676. This is not much more
than half the population.-J. D. Cham.

history IS only equaled by the elegant
simplicity of his style.
II met the other day a little article
on the difficulty of getting correctly the
last words of great men, and referring
particularly to William Pitt. II
BROUGHT to rny mind Daniel Webster.
The evening before he died, his phYsi-
clan repeated to him the words: 'Thy
rod and Thy staff they comfort me-
and Mr.. Webster replied, as if in SYM
patty, but too weak to complete the
sentence: '''Thy rod and Thy statf,'-
the fact,-the fact 1 want Here the
matter rested as at first reported, and l
think. as publicly repeated by MIR.
Everett. The true account, as it came
to me very directly, is as follows: Mr..
Webster asked whether he was likely
to live til! morning. His physician,
DR.. Jet1reys, not willing to give a direct
answer, repeated from the twenty-third
Psalm; .Thy rod and Thy staff etc.
MI. Webster saw the evasion, and in a
clear and rather severe tone said: 'Ihy
rod and Thy stail!-the fact, the fact, |
want i. e., he wanted an answer to his
question.
..This reminds me of the last, or near
lv the last words of his distinguished
friend, jeremiah Mason. His daughter
said in Il suppressed voice: .He Is uy-
mo, MI. Mason asked what she was
saying. Nothing. father she replied.

OF u Lady of Millville, N.J., Who was Pro.
nounced Beyond Hope OF Recovery-How
1t was Accomplished.
Mrs. S. C. Dougherty says: IT had been a sufferer
from Dyspepsia from the time I was sixteen years old.
l had consulted various physicians and been under
their treatment during most of the time, but finding
no relief, had given up in despair of ever having my
health restored. A friend DR.. DAVID
kENNEDY'S FAVO2lTE REMEDY, which l tried,
and have been cured. It's the best medicine 1 ever
knew Of, and worthy Of the greatest CONFIDENCE
The above is but one of the hundred facts which
prove that DR.. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE
REMEDY is without an equal as q cure for diseases
peculiar to females. But, if the reader desires more
evidence, read the following proof from Mrs. Carrie
Key, the wife of Sergeant Key, Co. c, Sd \. j. Reg,
who says under date OF March 1, 1884:
1.-Two years ago my husband came home in the
spring from Virginia, where he had been in charge
ut Il schooner. He was taken down with .Muluriul
fever. We were both sick with it. After consulting
our family physician and finding no permanent relief
we tried your FAVoRITE REMEDY. and 1 can say
that it completely cured us of malaria, and is the best
medicine fits kind 1 ever heard Of.
Dr.. KENNIDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY is a posi-.
tive cure for all diseases of the Blood, and habilual
Constipation. AS proof of it f.. j. Sears, of Tincland,
says, under date of March I'd: II have used Dr..
KENNEDY'S FAVOR1TE REMEDY and l am viii.
Ing to acknowledge it the best medicine in the world
for the bowels l ever used, and FAVORITE mi
Di is most excellent preparation for the Blood"
These are facts which can but convince the most
skeptical that DR.. DAVID K~ENNEDY'S FAyORlTE
REMEDY is an honest preparation which no family
should be without. 1t is the result of the scientific
knowicdge OF medicine attained only by the years of
experience Of an educated physician. 1t Is Il positive
