CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.

The Importance of Treating Them Well
! During the First Month of Their Life.
The future of the little pigs, their
vigor and general value depend much
on the care they and their mo Their re-
ceive during the first few weeks of
their life. If they have been well cared
for and properly fed at two months old
they should be weaned. If there is a
pasture at hand, turn the pigs into it
and in addition feed them warm or
cold slop of brand or shorts.
Pigs require no corn until they are
fully developed, and there is no econo-
my in feeding it to them. Pigs from
two to six months old need more mus
cle-forming and bOne-forming than fat
tening foods. AS clover is rich in these,
a pasture is very desirable. The best
kind of pasture for pigs is one of blue
glass and clover mixed. If treated in
this manner, at six months old they
should be in very good condition to
receive a corn diet and be ''fattened"
for market.
After a certain period the more corn
a hog receives the more his constitu-
ton is impaired, and it ought to be the
aim of every feeder to delay this feed
uub11 buG 4dSb 1llOAlAEubg 50 bldb Ut
fore the time it begins to deteriorate
him he will be ready for market.
Root, such as beets, potatoes, car
rOts, mangels, ETC., should be fed
in moderation, and little salt and sui
phur, mixed with wood, coal or cob
ashes, makes a very desirable occa-
sional addition to the diet.
Figures show conelusively that an
acre of clover will produce more pork
than an acre of corn, estimating the
yield of the latter at fifty bushels. It
is estimated that an acre produces
10000 pounds of clover and that Is
pounds of clover produces one pound
of pork, in other words, about 675
pounds of pork may be produced from
one acre of clover IL a bushel of corn
will make II pounds of pork, there will
be but 600 pounds as the product of an
acre.
In the corn-growing States corn is
the best and cheapest food for hogs; as
with it well-deveIoped, full-grown hogs
will lay on fat very rapidly, but even
when plentiful and cheap its exclusive
use is unwise. When feeding corn
regularly give also roots, potatoes,
apples, pumpkins and other vegetables,
stewed or boiled.
Regularity in feeding and watering
should always be considered important,
and the amount of feed given to each
animal, or pen of animals, should not
vary much.
The cost of production should be
duly considered. Weaned pigs at two
months old and averaging forty pounds
are usually worth about 81. Fed for
six months in pasture, receiving also
peas, bran, shorts. etc, they should
weigh 200 pounds when taken out and
placed in the fattening pen. The cost
Of this increase of 100 pounds would be
about S.. Four months of fattening on
corn, roots, etc, should bring the
weight to upwards of 800 pounds, at an
additional cost of about 50; making a
hog year old cost S10.-Fron1 II. b.

AN INDIAN WEDDING.
Mrs. Stearns' Description of a Sad Scene
witnessed in Dakota.

Mrs. Stearns' Description of Sad Scene
witnessed in Dakota.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Stearns, of Dakota.
was an eyewitness to a veritable Indian
wedding, and she describes it as fol-
lows:
have been through one of the
strangest experiences of my life in the
last few hours. have been to an In
dian wedding. There was large tent
with the front opened, and row of
stakes covered with canvas making a
fence upon each side leading to it.
Outside was quite small tent,
trimmed with all kinds of pretty feath-
ers, and over the door a wildcats
skin trimmed with beads and porcupine
quilts. In the large tent, back in the
center, against very gay curtain, sat
a young girl, a half-breed, not more
than fifteen years old, dressed in a skirt
and jacket of bright buttons and bOar's
teeth, her hair long and black and fall
ing in front, while wreath of feathers
on her head completed her wedding
outfit. All around were ornaments,
and yards of pink, red and yellow cali
co as drapery, and, on a little green
trunk near the bride sat the old chief
wrapped in a buffalo robe, looking
like great bear. Along on one side
of the tent sat the women and girls,
and upon the other side the men,
young and old. They were all
painted frightfully, and wore dread
full ornaments, bright blankets and
feathers, and most of the men had on
but little clothing. Near the middle
of this group were piled the provisions
of the feast, pans and kettles of meat,
bread and boiled corn.
''The ceremonies began with the old
chief drumming upon q drum, and
making a shout and noise like an ami
NAL. He then arose and walked around
the girl several times, got on his knees
and again walked around her, knocked
her from side to side, then smoothed
her HAIR, gave her something that he
called medicine, then took a dish and
placed it before her, knelt down and
took a sip of what was in it, as she did
also. He then stood up, went through
with some mumblings over her head,
and then began to pass the feast, first to
the women, and then to the men. The
girl took off her outside gray robe, and
it was given to her mother, as we sup
posed. Underneath she had a short
blue dress, which was taken off; and
when the eating was concluded the
poor little girl' probably, as so often
among savages, sold for a price, and
with no voice in her fate1 ''slipped out
of the tent in a little plain pink calico
Dakota dress, and with bare feet and
legs, looking frightened and cold, went
to her tent all alone. Then they made
ready for the dance, but we did not
stay to see that. and had no wish to
tarry. Chicago Journal.

THE BARBER's BIB.

An Invention to Further the Comfort of
Men Who Have Their Hair Cut.
Permit me to experiment with my
new invention" said the barber to his
first customer the other morning as the
victim settled himself back in the chair.
''You want a shave, hair cut and a
shampoo, don't you? Well, here's
Just the thing that will prevent the
finest hair possible finding its way
down underneath your collar and
tickling your shoulders all day. 1t
does away with choking you with
towels and leaves your collar I'M
sullied.
siWen, we'll; let us see" said the
customer, with resigned look
A sheet of tfssue-like rubber about
the size of a table-napkin, with a
small round aperture in the center was
brought forth. Stretching it out the
barber pulled it down over the vic
TINS head. When in its proper place
the ''hair-cutting bib, as the barber
called it, fitted snugly around the Gus
TONER'S throat just above the collar.
It spread out over his shoulders and
chest in a generous fashion. When
the artist was through with his manip-
ulations, he again stretched out the
bib and removed it, leaving the neck
gear of his customer free from the usual
finger marks and dampness-
