Points in Pig Keeping,

New York Tribune: tisjust as true
this winter as last, that the late pigs
do better on theground. Ihave erected
a very warm sty, longest north and
south, with the opening to the south,
in which the pigs sleep. This sly is
set in sheltered place facing south,
and yard is attached to it which is
also protected from the west wind.
Here's platform has been put down
and the trough placed on it. This
makes the feeding spot clean and keeps
dirt out of the trough. Another plat
form in the yard is for the oats and
corn, which are given to the pigs once
a day. Their other feed consists of
fine wheat middlings mixed with the
kitchen Stops. These pigs are growing
finely and they also keep their forms
and are entirely free from any stiff
ness. The sty is battened and banked
around the bottom with manure. The
bed is on the ground but is dry and
often zreplenished with clean straw.
This is the best way / know of for
wintering young pigs. Milk would be
better to mix-wita the middlings ifone
had enough. My pigs get coal ashes
Just as they come from the stove with
the cinders and unburnt bits of coal
and they relish them exceedingly.
They also get charcoal frequently and
salt to lick. They are also fed raw
beets.
We live and learn, or ought to.
Generally Duroc-Jersey sows will have
MICS Mt eight months ace A sow
should never have pigs before year
old, although we have had them bear
large litters at ten months and do
well. Such practices will DWARF breed.
The lesson from these facts is that
where large number OF pigs are kept
there must be number OF pastures,
and they must be adapted to the kind
of hogs which are to be kept in them
Next spring we shall add three more
permanent pig pastures to those We
have already. There should be one
for each boar and they must be sep
arated from each other Each one
should have a dry shelter. Hogs
never should be kept in pens in sum
mer. When farmers get up to the
proper appreciation of pigs as real
factors to the farm, ifnot benefactors,
they will, believe, have new pig
pasture each year as well as the per-
manent ones. This is an advanced
idea, and it should be the future corn
lot. Let them root. They will not
turn over much of it but they will en-
rich it wonderfully.-FD ID. Curtis, Kir-
by Homestead, n. Y.

Causes of Poverty.


Chicago Times.
Certain causes produce poverty,
just as certain causes produce wealth.
The man having no property, trade
or practical education, who mar-ies
in early life woman in the same con-
dition as himself, and raises dozen
children, should naturally expect to
remain poor all his life, and to make
a liberal contribution to the number
of destitute and miserable. II he
meets with an accident, falls sick or
becomes dissipated, he and his family
must necessarily be supported by pri-
waite charity or by the means at the
disposal OF the public authorities A
gentleman who visited most of the
houses in one of the poorest streets in
London found that the families aver
aged seven in number, that the heads
of these families had no means when
they were married, and that few of
them had any regular occupation.
Most of them were addicted to the use
OF grog and tobacco when they could
obtain them. Why should they or
Others reasonably expect that their
condition would be any better than it
Is. All the causes that produce pow
erty and misery had been at work and
had produced the natural result. They
are operating elsewhere, and the effects
are everywhere the same.

The hands, like the face, require very
little covering. The blood-supply of
the hand is liberal, and the circula.
ton within it free, and it is thus we'll
able to resist ordinary cold and to be
Indifferent to ordinary fluctuations of
temperature. Except In quite cold
weather, gloves may beregarded rath-
er as ornamental than as necessary
to a perfect attire. The continual
wearing of tight kid gloves must some
what impair the circulation of the
part, and render the hand attenuated
by discouraging the proper use of it's
muscles. A white and emaciated or
delicate" hand is, however, at the
present time admired in ladies, and
there is, therefore, some reason for
constant glove-wearing. Individuals
with feeble calculations, as-well as
those who are liable to chilblains on
the hand and to chapping on exposure
are obviously more in need of some
hand covering than are persons in per-
feet health. According to DIR. Buck,
silken and wooden gloves are more apt
to lead to chapping than are gloves
made of kid or dogskin. The kid
glove, by the density of its structure,
affords protection against wind, but
as protection against cold it is COM
paratively valueless.

The Summer Fashions.

The newest brocades are velvet frise
on satin grounds with floral designs.
Dog collars worn with low and
square-cut dresses are velvet or satin
covered, with beads corresponding
with those on the dress.
The newest fancy fringe consists Of
poppy heads attached to heading of
beaded gimp, tassels OF beads depend
ing from them.
The newest English jackets for
young girls are OF corded, brocaded or
elastic cord. They are closely-fitt
at the back, with loose fronts, some
times fastened diagonally. They have
numbers OF pockets, and have large
wooden buttons.
The tendency on all sides, at home
and abroad, is to simplicity in morn.
ing and afternoon dress. Trimming is
no longer superhuously employed as
of late, but is confined strictly to pur-
poses of legitimate use and ornamen-
tation. Skirts are full and plain
They sometimes are arranged in plaits
from the waist, without overdrapery
in front, and frequently they fall in
natural folds, especially in the case of
the lighter fabrics, which appear to
best advantage when they hang per-
lectly straight and plain.
The tiny bright-colored beads are
coming over from France in quantities
never before deemed possible. One of
the prettiest found. if not the most
adaptable, in which they are import
ed, is the wire braids. They are strung
upon wires and woven in squares,
with large bead in the center of each
alternate square, and thus form a
braid ten inches wide. 1t can then be
used as covering for panel in an
underskirt, or to face back rever, or
to simulate a panel over the hip by
attaching it to the edge OF the basque.
Irridescent or FURNISHED Jets are usu-
ally used in this manner rather than
white or black jets. Another popular
design in which these beads are used
is effected in this way: The Jets are
strung upon wires and then bent to
form any sort of flower or geometri-
cal pattern. One flower connects with
the other, and, as the wire is fine and
very yielding, a whole dress front can
be covered in this way in one single
piece. Beading on net and lace is, of
course, still very much in vogue, but
the new way is more safe and adapta-

Girls at q Fencing Academy.

New York Letter: Since it is the
fashion now to be robust and muscu-
lar, many of the young girls of New
York are devoting great deal oftheir
time to the art of fencing. On Broad
way, in the vicinity of the Metropoli-
tan Opera house, is a well known fenc-
ing academy, presided over by good
looking French professor, where any
morning may be seen a bevy of young
women, attended by their chaperones,
preparing to do battle with the deadly
foil in costume which appears to be a
combination of Roman warriors
dress and that OF Brighton Beach
bather. Short-sleeved tunic trousers
reaching to the knee, long stockings,
with canvas sandals, a broad belt,
heavy gauntlets, and, when far enough
advanced, an iron mask, make up this
startling toilet.

Yancey Killed by Ben Hill.

Iheard the other day from a high
confederate source, writes a CORE
spondent OF The New York World, a
true history OF the cause which led to
the death of Confederate Senator
Yancey. Yancey, when he returned
from England, made a report to the
confederate senate of his failure to
secure recognition of the southern con-
federacy in England. 1t was in that
speech that he used the oft-quoted
sentence, "Cotton is no longer king"
He said then that the confederacy
could give no guaranteed fit were recog-
nized of its ability to maintain q
stable form of government. The
states rights theory carried to an ex-
treme would soon result in anarchy.
This speech was made in executive
session of the confederate senate.
During the debate which followed he
became involved in heated dispute
with Ben Hill. During the discussion
an insult was given by Yancey, or at
least Hill regarded it as an insult, and
he resented 1t. He picked up large
glass inkstand and threwi it at Yancey.
1t struck him upon the spine, below
the center OF the back. He tell over
into his seat and tainted From that
blow he never recovered. He died
several months afterward His illness
was spinal trouble resulting from
the blow gwen him by the inkstand
thrown by Mr.. Hill.

Strange Tales of Alaska.

Gov. Swineford, of Alaska, tells
some strange tales of how things have
been conducted in that territory,
writes Washington correspondent OF
The Boston Herald. Hesays that on
his arrival there he found the affairs
being run by an old collector, the old
marshal, and the captain of the Pinto.
The collectors name is French, and
he is the brother of Steve French, the
republican politician of New York.
Gov. Swineford says there is a law
prohibiting the importation of liquor
of any kind into the territory, and
yet the worst Of whisky is bought at
Portland, Oregon, at about $3.50 per
gallon and taken in large quantities
to Alaska, and sold at from So to SIP
per gallon. When the governor spoke
of the vicious quality of the whisky,
he acted as though he had tried it,
and spoke with q sad recollection OF
its taste and effect upon the stomach.
The governor thinks he has had a
pretty hard time of it, and says he
found things in bad way. He had
only been in poss ession OF the house a
short time when the retiring marshal
brought him bill for the furniture.
He paid the bill, amounting to be-
tween 5000 and $500, and soon after
ascertained the furniture belonged to
the government. The marshal is now
far away Soon after his arrival at
Alaska the steamship company sent
HIM a pass. He at first hesitated
about accepting it, but finally did so,
and soon after had occasion to make
q trip to Juno, $50 miles distant. The
regular fare is $50, but with pass it
is only IS, as the ship simply charges
for the meals. When he returned he
asked the clerk to make out his bill.
When it was presented it was for $50.
He expostulated, saying: 81 only
paid SO, and why do you make it
out this way"
"Your pass pays for the rest, said
the clerk.
"But don't want to do anything
of this kind said the governor. 81
simply want bill to show what / act
ually paid"
With the remark that he was very
particular, and that that was the way
the other fellows always did, the clerk
proceeded to make out the bill for the
$40. The governor by this time had
become interested, and, upon looking
into the matter, discovered that it
was a practice with the republican Of
ficials to ride on passes and have their
bills made as though they had paid
money and nave them cashed at the
treasury. The governor says that
there is more to be done for the terri
tory in Washington than in Alaska.
He says the Indians of Alaska are
peaceable and Industrious people, and
entirely able to take care OF them
selves.

who suppose the culture too difficult
for prentice hands. Tie ground was
ploughed the latterpart ofApril, soon
as dry enough; planted to little Gem
peas, in rows four feet apart. When
fairly up they were cultivated, and
Early Ontario potatoes planted in
rows between the peas, except that
two spaces were set with early celery
for summer use, 100 plants. The last
week in July alternate rows of pota-
toes were dug, and rows OF celery set
eight feet apart, 300 plants for fall
use. About August 20, 200 plants
for winter use were put out. This
last planting should have been 800
plants to make full supply for win
ter and spring for family of ten to
fifteen. The plants were set sixinches
apart in the row; eight inches would
be better, where the ground Is made
as rich as it should be.
AS the soil was not more than ten
inches deep and underlaid with clay,
made it deeper by throwing out for
the celery rows about six inches oftop
soil and then six inches more, keeping

rotted manure, hen manure, and wood
ashes, mixing them thoroughly. The
trenehing would not have been neces-
sary had the soil been sufficiently
deep and rich for the roots, which run
very deep in good soil. With excep-
ton of the plants intended for winter,
the celery was banked up gradually,
as it grew. At the first banking, the
ground was first loosened with hoe,
then each plant taken separately in
left hand and dirt enough drawn close
around it with right hand to hold the
leaves together and upright After
ward, more earth was brought up to
the plants, from time to time, with
hoe or spade. The plants for winter
were dug in early November and pack
ed close in a trench one foot wide and
as deep as the plants were high. The
soil was filled in close to the plants at
the sides, and the plants covered with
leaves six inches deep In December
as many more leaves were put over.
With this protection the celery kept
well.-Professor c. I'll. Damn.
