MISTAKE IN FEEDING.

We feed TO much of the carboyn-
drates and not enough OF the al
buminoids. If farmers would re-
duce their corn rations and in
crease their bran feed there is lit
tic doubt that they would make
better and cheaper animals. The
albuminoids create growth as rap
idly as corn, and lay up flesh in
the most desirable parts. In the
case of hogs albuminoid-fed ones
invariable have better hams and
shoulders and less lard than those
that have been exclusively fed on
corn. Now these arc the most
valuable portion OF the hog and it
costs no more TO raise big hams
and shoulders, if you feed right,
than it does if you raise small hams
and shoulders and a surplus amount
of lard. OF two hogs that were
killed, both the same age and
weight and slaughtered at the same
time, the one fed on albuminous
but hams weighing fifteen pounds
and four ounces, and the one fed
on carbonaceous food cut hams
weighing twelve pounds. The
shoulders of the former weighed
ten pounds, eleven ounces, and the
latter six pounds twelve ounces.
The quantity of milk little pigs
get from their mother at each meal
is very trifling; it is exceedingly
rich and taken often, and If this
goes on many weeks and no more
bulky food be taken, they have
some day almost suddenly to rely
on food of perhaps ten times the
bulk. There is literally not room
for them, with only two or three
meals a day, to stow away suffi-
cient to carry them on IN good con-
dttIon. The natural and uniform
distinction of the intestlnes has
not been going on, and the conse-
auences are far more serious than
they appear at first sight. Those
that to all appearances are healthy
and salable have undergone such a
strain through the sudden change
in food that the chances are many
that the pigs will have weak sus-
ceptible parts about them. Always
excepting weakly constitutions,
brought about through unsatisfac-
tory breeding. 1 think unfair
weaving brings moro pigs into
difficulties in this country than any
other cause.-Heber Humphrey,
in London Live Stock Journal.

No class of men are more in debt
to their wives for the success that
comes to them than are farmers.
The wife and the mother who has
the courage to go out with the hus'
band of her choice and commence
the struggle of life with him on the
prairie, or on . new farm, with but
little capital except OF head and
heart, is worthy to stand by the
Spartan women on whom the poets
have exhausted their words OF
praise. Upon her falls the brunt
of the strife, no matter how hard
the husband may toll; his work
closes with the day, but hers con-
tlnues long after, and with her
children and the small chores that
many of the beginners look after,
her lot Is not one to be enVied,
And when after years of struggle
success, with reluctant feet, comes
to crown the husband with honor,
the b;os-Ast wreath should adorn
the brow of the noble wife who
was the stay and anchor, Il. =" COM
fort and the source of all hope in
the stormy days of trial. The
wealth should crown her queen.

A practical farmer and quite q
sklllful mechanic, mentions a sim
pie and effective remedy for loose
ties: "Instead of attempting to
swell up the wood work by soak
ing In water" said he, "give the
wheels a good coat of boiled lin
seed oil. This will fill the pores
as well as water and swell the
wood, tighten the tires, and is
much more lasting in its effects,
and at the same time is acting as a
preservative of the wood" Such a
remedy IS extremely simple, and
the wonder is that it is not gener-
ally known and put to frequent
use,

Growing one crop on the same
land continuously is an evil insep'
cradle from new countries. The

usually men of small capital, and

their preference. So long as the

Loss of fertility is not the whole

An exchange says: Cut a hole
IN one end of an egg as big as this
capital o. In the other put a pin
hole. Now blow out the contents
and you have the empty shell.
Next mix plaster of paris and wa
ter together to the consistency OF
cream, add a few drops of carbolic
acid. Pour this into the she'll I'M
til 1t is filled, and in twenty-tour
hours it will be dry, and you will
have a medIcated nest-egg. Five
cents worth ofplaster of paris will
make dozen, and the same amount
of carboIic acid is sufficient to
scent a hundred. The scheme,
though novel, has the merit OF be-
ing practical. 1t is we'll known
that carbolic acid is an insecticide
as well as a powerful dislnfectant.

Physicians rightly characterize constipa-
ton as an obstinate impeachment to the well
fare Of the body. The performance OF the
more important functions, such as digestion,
hillary secretion and an active circulation OF
the blood, are interrupted by it in greater
or less degree, as the development OF the
complaint is incipient or mature. Not at
once, of course, but with reasonable prompti-
tude, Hostetter's Stomach Bit.ers will remove
every symptom to which it gives rise, as well
as the minor maladies that spring from 1t,
among them indigestion and chronic bilious
ness. From drenching cathartics it is vain TO
hope for permanent benefit, and there are
few purgatives that are not violent and pro-
fuse in their operation. Blue pill and Gallo
mel are designed to act upon the liver only,
and taken frequently are pernicious 10 health.
The Bitters produce relaxation of the bowels
without pain, and renewal of their regu-
larity. 1t also conquers fever and aguc,
and kidney troubles also succumb to the

to getting ditch with the least

not only pull off your coat, boys,

The idea that a man don't know

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The Outlook Generally Favorable, with Few
Exceptions Caused by Bad Crops.

NEW YORK, July 16-Specal kilograms to
Bradstreet's show repetition of the favorable
trade features noted week ago, and report a
quite general hardening of domestic money mar
kets and widespread Improvement in mercan-
tile collections. AT few cities autumn buying
has begun, notably Louisville, where takings are
said to be large. The unfavorable wheat
crop prospect seems to discourage spec
ulation on the New York Stock Ex-
change, and the temporary stoppage
of hostilites among the granger roads was not
sufficient to put prices up Some activity and
strength were developed IN the trunk line stocks
on the improved earnings. Money is in fair sup
ply on call atfrom to per cent Exchange is

Now that the domestic wool clip has been
cleaned up, interest centers on the degree of
shortage as compared with last year. Conserva
with the greater share of the de-
crease in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia.
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas. London wool
prices are no higher; domestic quotations are
unchanged and holders very firm. Stocks of
cotton goods at the East are small, and some
brands are higher, checking sales to jobbers.
Print cloths are firm and higher.
The steel-rall mills indicate their prospect by
increasing the total allotment for the year to
100000 tons, l. 100 600 tons having been already
contracted for The activity in Bessemer pig at
$40 per ton-its production aggregating l95, 600
tons monthly out of $4,000 TONS the total
monthly production of anthracite and bituminous
iron-is accounted for by the condition of the
rail industry.
The wheat markets have been quieter, with
prices huctuating within moderate range The
damage to the spring wheat is currently esti
mated at from 10 to 20 per cent, earlier reports
having been exaggerated. The result is to leave
a strong undercurrent of feeling that higher
range of prices for wheat is likely to prevail
during the coming crop year than has been
quoted for two years. This is emphasized by
unfavorable crop reports from the United
Kingdolns Russia, India Australia and else
where. The effects of the drought on general
trade in some portions of the spring wheat coun-
try constitute the marked exception to the gen.
orally favorably trade reports mentioned above
