Some farmers hold that it is good
plan to harrow the corn stubble to break
it down. level the ground and loosen the
soil. thus letting it dry out more quickly
and forwarding the time when it may BE-
ploughed. Springs work usually needs
crowding along as RAPIDLY as possible,
and as corn hills are not pleasant things
to plough. why not harrow it first?-M

PRACTICAL RATloNs.
BOW Work-HOrses Can be Fed 10 fsco,
Advantage 1t the Least Cost.

BOW WOrk-Horses Can be Fed to Good
Advantage 1t the Least Cost.
we have an inquiry as to how it is
profitable to feed the heavily-worked
horse, and as to the cheapest effective
ration to use, hay being worth $40;
corn-meal. SIG; oats, $22; middlings.
Sl6; new-process linseed meal. S25 per
ton; straw and corn fodder, $6 per ton.
here is pretty good list to get ra-
tons from. Let us suppose that two Of
corn is ground with one of oats, per
weight. Oats being the most expensive
oy weight, we will use less of this grain.
In making up ration, particular atten-
Ilon must be given to a proper balance
OF constituents. The horse is useful
only Tor his muscle. and the liberal nour-
lshment OF his muscles must be provided
Tor. Corn-meal is deficient in albumin
ODDS or heterogeneous matter for the
muscles. 1t is particularly rich in heat
and reproducing elements, conse-
quently 1t can be fed in larger
proportion in winter than in summer.
Ahddlings are less heating than corn
AAClis anu AuOIC IuuScle-IOrminO. This
food may very properly be used as
considerable part of the ration for work
horses Straw may be used to good ef-
feet in the work-ration, but there must
be more nitrogenous food to balance it.
Ii straw only is used as the coarse fod-
der. then there must be sufficient extra
heterogeneous food to make it equal to
hay. Let us see if we can balance the
straw to the standard of hay, and still
cheaper the ration-12 pounds of hay
cost SO cents. II pounds of oat straw,
So cents This makes the difference in
cost cents. The hay has &c of a pound
of digestible albuminoids, and the straw
has only lie of pound; now, the diff
ference is half pound. Two pounds
of linseed-meal viii more than make up
this deficiency, and will cost only l-2
cents, leaving balance of 1-2 cents as
a saving on the use of the straw and lin
seed meal.
We will now give q few detailed "a.
tons, giving only the digestible nutri-
ents, as these represent the value Of
food.

Protecting Their Rights.

Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly to the determination
to achieve success by the liberal use OF
printers ink than has the Brown Chemical
Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting bus
mess about five years ago, they have ex-
pended over 81 ,500, 000in the preparation and
circulation Of printed matter, more than
half of which has been paid for newspaper
advertising. All this has been done to make
known the virtues Of their celebrated Iron
Bitters~
As might be expected. very large sales
have resulted from this enormous outlay,
making it about as staple in many drug
stores as is -four at the corner grocery.
Like all good things, it has been largely
initiated. They claim there are unscrupu-
lous manufacturers who cater to just this
sort OF trade, and some dealers SO lacking
in principle, that because q greater profit
can be made on fraudulent than on genu-
inc medicines, are willing to delude the
public by pushing of Iron Tonic Bitters
and other Tonic Medicines in place Of genu-
inc Browns Iron Bitters. The company,
finding these frauds practiced 40 extensive
~ and all other means inadequate, have at
last determined TO try . little cold law to
put . stop to Thorn. Suits for heavy dam
ages have therefore been commenced
against Non-Secret Medicine Manufacture
ers for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; and 9th
ers for selling Browns Iron Tonic; a drug.

HOGS BRISTLES.

The Economic Uses to Which the Hair Of
the American Porker Is Put.
There is . wonderful economy shown
In the disposal made of the American
hogs carcass at the Union Stock Yards.
Every hide, hair, muscle, tendon, Iga-
ment and bone goes to some profitable
and practical use. Look, for example,
at the hair product; there's fortune
in it. This branch of the general util-
ity to which the hog is put is monopo-
lized by New York firm. Through
their agent they have contracts with all
the packing and pay them a GER
tain sum for the hair product of each
hog slaughtered. This averages from
to 5 cents during the regular season,
dated from November until April l.
The price paid this year is cents.
During the summer months the prices
range from 2 to 1-2 cents. The hair
is shorter and less valuable during that
period of the year. A large force of
men is employed in each slaughter-
house to attend to this work.
When a hog is scalded two men range
themselves on either side OF the bench
on which the carcass lies and with
tweezers rapidly pluck out the large
bristles. These are carefully packed
in . barrel and prepared for shoe
makers use. The hands of the men fly
like lightning in this work, while KEEN
ness Of vision is absolutely necessary.
Then the scraping machine is brought
into play, and like a flash the hog is as
smooth rs an egg from snout to tail-tip.
The hair is then carefully and thor.
oughly washed, pressed, and forked into
carts and taken to the bayfield,. where
it is spread out like new-mown hay. Ii
is not quite so aromatic, however. The
firm has two of these plats of ground,
each over one hundred acres in extent,
but the principal one is situated SOUTH
west Of the yards, and bounded on two
sides BY Forty-seyenth and Ashland ave-
nue.. The vast triangular tract is level
as table, and frequently its entire sur
face is covered by the hirsute overcoat
Of the hog. The curing" process usu-
ally occupies all of four months.
II is shaken up and winnowed
constantly until thoroughly dry,
and all the foreign particles have been
shaken Of. The bristle department re-
quires especial care. The hair is there
packed up in bales and shipped. It is
quito lucrative industry, as may be in-
ferred from the fact that few We; rs ago
rival concerns attempted to obtain =
foothold, and competition ran the price
up to fifteen cents per hog. This was
ike . railroad rate war-neither could

II. c. Laforce, special examiner Of the
Pension Department., was to-day called
upon by Nelson Painter, farmer of thi.
county, who voluntarily surrendered his
pension certificate, on which he has drawn
four dollars per month for years. He said
that he was satisfied that the disability
which had entitled him to pension was
permanently removed, and it would not be
honest for him longer to accept the Gov
ernment's money. Mr.. Laforce saws this
is the first case he has had of this kind in
an experience of six years, and it is the
second he ever heard of.
