ROOTS FOR SWINE.
Some of the Cheapest and Most Nourish
ing Messes for Hogs.

Some of the Cheapest and Most Nourish-
ing MeSses for Hogs.
The spring is the time to discuss the
Importance of growing roots for the
hogs as the fall usually finds the farm
er too late in the season to make
amends for any negligence during the
spring. The best and most profitable
root crop for the hogs is the sugar
beet. 1t should be put in the ground
early, so as to get good start, and
when the crop is ready for harvesting
it should be stored in manner so that
the roots can be fed every day. The
old plan of storing them in mounds
only to have them sealed up, and out
of use, is passing away. All the root
crops can be stored in bins in the barn,
with layers of dry dit or sand between
the roots, and they will not only keep
well, but be within easy access of the
farmer at all times The sugar beet is
very rich in sugar, and will conse-
quently not only act as dietary por-
ton of the food, but also fatten the an
imal and create heat for the BODY.
They may be cooked or fed raw, and it
is best to feed them both ways. One of
the chea3est and most nourishing
messes for hogis cooked beets, thick
ened with middlings. This food will
do as much in the way of forcing
growth on the young stock as more
highly concentrated and costly food
Turnips are grown at but little ex-
pense, as they can be put in the
ground late in the season, ard with
good management be made to yield
large crop. The root crops for swine,
however, should consist Of variety,
and the farmer should grow not only
beets and turnips, but parsnips and
carrots also. Potatoes are excellent,
but the seed is more expensive COM
pared with other root crops. The
cheapest pork is that made by securing
rapid growth on roots and grass

REPENTANCE.

As Defined by Sam Small In one of His Re-
cent Sermons in Chicago.
When L was young man in all the
fullness OF my sins and waywardness,
when / was disobeying continually my
fathers commands, when was run
ming riot in all the forbidden paths
against which he had warned me, and
in which he had told me not to go;
when | was doing all the devilment l
could find ready at my hands, what
was it my father was continually pray
ing and wanting me to do? 1t was to
repent of my course, to change it, and
it didn't make any difference to my
father that l came home drunk at
night, and got up in the morning look
ing sorrowful and mournful about II,
and was half scared and sncaked about
the breakfast table and said was sOr-
~. 1t didn't make any difference to
him whether got drunk again that
day and came home again drunk, and
all the blubbering and snubbering and
sobbing and crying and talking /
could give him didn't amount to row
of beans as long as kept at what I
was doing. What my father wanted
me to do was to quit my devilment and
go to doing right, and when reduced
to its very last analysis that is what re-
pentance means. and repentance in its

down to the concrete thing itself,
means that man must recognize the
fact that he is sinner, liar, q trans
gressor against God, and that he owes
Him his allegiance, and owes Him his
truth, and owes Him the consistent and
continuous discharge of every moral
duty. What we mean by repentance
is a man quitting his rebellion, and
quitting his sins and quitting his mean
ness against God and turning round
and doing the right thing and the square
thing toward God.
Another thing about repentance is
this: Il has three characteristics in Or
der to make it perfect. 1t must first
be speedy. and second it must be sim
cere. and third it must be steadfast In
other words, it is quitting at once and
quitting altogether and quitting at all
times.

A FOOLISH JUDGMENT.
A Plain Exposure of Colonel IngersOll'a
Method of Assailing Christianity.

"A RAN Exposure Oh Colonel InSersOil1
Method of Assailing Christianity.
Mr.. A. c. Wheeler, of the New York
World, better known as ''Nym
Crinkle," has taken to the lecture
platform with the object of refuting
Colonel Ingersoll. The other evening
he lectured at Providence, r. l., and
exposed the brilliant infidel's method
of assailing Christianity in the follow
ing effective and digniied manner:
The man who judges Christian
theism by the errors of its sects and
the vices of its imitators is very much
like the man who. having heard a
great deal about the ocean, sets out
from his inland desert to see it and
plants himself where great sewer
empties into it from a populous city.
He sits down on dock to contemplate
the muck and mire when the tide is
out. He looks at the oyster cans and
paper collars and dead dogs; he sur
veys the sluggish refuse that bubbles
and crawls in tepid currents, and he
exclaims: Well, is this the blue,
sparkling sea, whose foam gave birth
to Aphrodite and whose crested pillows
have rolled SO long through poetry and
song? 1t won't do You feel like
taking that man by the neck and lift
ing him up SO that he can see some
thing. You undertake to explain to
him that the ocean is much larger af-
fair than he has any idea of. You tell
him that out there, beyond the head
lands, is the mighty monster curled
ike green serpent round about the
world; that there it races in trackless
eXpanse with its sweet fathomless cur
rents that traverse all zones from the
steamingcau ldron of the tropics to the
sapphire cliffs of the Nosth-that there
it murmurs with scented breath, aud
hurls itself with tremendous hozannas
against the coast and continents Of the
worlds and is forever pure and whole
some no matter how much filth pours
into it. He listens to you contemptu-
ously. He's got the paper collar in
his eye and the dead dogs in his nos
trils. and he says: 1t won't do Then
he goes back to his desert and writes a
lecture on the corruptions of the great
myth"

beings, the consciousness of existence.

A USEFUL PLANT.
Why Rhubarb Should Have . Place IN

Why Rhubarb should Have . Place in
Every Farm Garden.
Every farmer should have in his
garden a good bed of rhubarb, as it
comes in early and makes excellent
pies. Whenever rhubarb throws out
a great many leaves, and the stalks
are small and almost worthless, the
roots should be dug up and trans
planted. dividing them so that only one
thrifty bud is left to each piece of root.
This should be done as early in the
spring as the buds are formed ready to
push through the surface soil. Ny
plan is to dig ditch twelve inches
deep and eighteen inches wide. fill this
with compost composed of one-fifth
hen droppings, one-fifth stable manure,
one-fifth leached ashes and two-fifths
surface soil, well mixed. planting the
roots eighteen inches apart in a straight
row. After the first year it will be-
surprising to see what rank growth
your rhubarb will make-large stalks
and many of them. When rhubarb
gets cut of season, if you wish, you can
keep the rest for winter use by can
ming. Cut the stalks the proper length
SO they will 60 in a common glass can.
