THE PIG.
Result OF Experiments on Pig Feed
ing in Illinois.

In his experiments in pig feeding,
Professor Il. F. Hunt, OF the Illinois
College farm concludes as follows:
1t required 1880 pounds of skim milk
to produce one pound Of pork when fed
with corn meal in ratio LII to fatten
hogs.
Skim-milk could not be economically
fed to fatten hogs unless it was waste
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
1t required on an average 10 pounds
or .074 bushels of shelled corn to pro-
duce one pound of pork during an aver
age period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced 1876 pounds.
1t required 4.37 pounds Of corn meal
to produce one pound Of pork, or one
bushel of corn made into meal and fed
dry produced 1913 pounds of pork.
When fed dry shelled corn Is more
economical than corn meal to feed to
fatten hogs.
1t required 7.35 pounds. or % bushels
OF ground oats to produce one pound
OF pork, when fed with equal parts, by
weight, of corn meal.
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
Corn-fed pigs gained about As pounds
per week and ate about 81 pounds of
corn per 100 pounds live weight.
The gain for the amount of food con-
sumed decreased during fattening.
Pork was produced during cold wea
ther, with corn at % cents per bushel,
for less than three cents per pound.
An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused a very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
We believe Indian corn to be the most
economical pork producing material du-
ring winter months in regions where ex-
tensively grown.

Francis O'Reilly, the well known livery man
Of No. Is Prince street, New York, says Of ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTHRs:
For the last forty two years have been en-
gagged in the livery and hacking business. I
am greatly aided by my four boys. We are
much exposed to the weather. and we have
found ALLcoCK's PLAsTERs of very great SER
vice. We use them as chest protectors, placing
one on the chest and one on the pit of the stom-
ach. They not only ward off the cold, but act
as tonic.
we are frequently affected with rheuma-
tism, kinks in the back, and pai-s in the side;
but one or two of ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs quickly
cure US. My wife and daughter have been
using ALLCocK's PLAsTERs for weak back and
think the world Of them. | have now been
using them for twenty years, and always have

DEATH In A FIRE TRAP.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Bow.
cry this afternoon was the scene Of
a horror such as the city has not
known and seen by daylight in re-
ntyears. Through enormous crowds
ambulances ran carrying naked
men, painted red with blood, TO the
hospitals from burning tenement
and factory, in which sixteen men,
women and children had died by
fire, and of those that escaped for
the time all did not survive. The
air was black with the soft coal
smoke OF the fire engines, and laso
with the thin flames that leaped
from the top of the tenement. 1t
was the rear building at 1877 Bowery
adjoining the Peoples Theatre on
the South. At o'clock in che af-
ternOon sixty people who lived there
or worked there at tailoring were
busy in the crowded rooms of the
six-story building. At 4:30 only the
dead were lett. A woman in child
birth had been burned TO death with
her child. Shapes of horror, black
and distorted remains of men and
women, lay on the Bowery sidewalk.
The fire broke out on the second
floor and seemed to be through the
building in a minute. The poor
creatures in the tenement were pan.
ic.stricken and rushed from floor to
floor. Some got down by the fire
escapes and made their way through
smoke and fame on ground floor
to safety. Some made their way to
the root of adjoining buildings, and
the majority of those who escaped
were taken across p ladder 10 the
Peoples Theatre. After they were
safe men jumped from the roofs of
buildings to the street in terror.
The thirteen dead bodies were found
burned to a crisp in the different
floors of the buildings after ehe fire
was put out. .E0

SHANGHAI NEWS.

The people of this community were
shocked on last Saturday. the 4th, by
the news that Elias Stuart, on orphan
boy about 10 years old, raised by Hon.
NJ. S. Grantham had been killed in
the following terrible manner: Mr..
Grantham had sent two teams loaded
with lumber, to the camp ground,
near Gerardstown, and had reluctant
ly consented for Elias to accompany
them. When two or more miles
from Mr.. G.'s, going down a rough
and steep hill, the hind axle of the
wagon suddenly broke down, turning
the loaded wagon over on the boy,
killing him instantly. His neck and
back were broken and the back of his
head crushed. His remains were fol-
lowed to the grave on Sunday by a
large number ofsympathizing friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grantham have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their bereavement.
There seems TO be singular fatal
ity attending this family three of
the boys, Arthur, Charles and Elias,
have been killed by accident in the
last three or four years.

The deadlock between the Presi.
dent and Commissioner Black in re-
gard to the latteI's resignation is
likely to continue until after the
election. Gen. Black will not resign
and the President will not make
him resign for fear of stirring ND a
pension controversy in the cam
paign. This is the understanding
among those who have positive
knowledge of the situation. Gen.
Black will not admit that there is
any friction between him and Mr..
Cleveland, and he refers all inquir-
ers to the White House. 1t is said
that the President was greatly DIS.

MISLEADING THE VOTER.

AZ per cent. tariff Is projection, how
eau a 40 per cent. tariff be called free
traief" This is a fair specimen Of
the logic employed by the Democrat.
ic press to defend the Mills bill and
deceive thoughtless voters. s---
Any average when applied to the
tariff is not only misleading, but
practically untrue. Some articles are
now admitted free, while others are
subjected to the most unnecessary
and oppressive duties. F0riinstance,
the duty on rice is 113 per cent. and
on sugar SO per cent, neither OF
which is materially changed in the
Mills bill, because these two commod
tiles are grown by Southern planters,
from whence vast proportions OF the
Democratic electoral vote must
come; but the duty on potatoes,
which is now 80 per cent, and on
other vegetables, is removed alto
gether by the Mills bill, because
these articles are grown principally
in the North, where Democrats are
not in the habit of polling such phe
Ibmenal majorities.
Similarly wool, which is now du
table at from "a to "a per cent, is
placed ON the free list by the Mills
bill on tile absurd plea of cheaper
ing clothes for the workingman
which, if it becomes a law, win have
the effect OF turning thousands out
Of employment and depriylng them
of the money to buy clothes. How
is any intelligent average possible
betwee articles some of which pay
no duty and others more than d
hundred per cent? What meaning
does such talk convey to sensible
people and the average voter in the
states where the tariff battle is te
be fought out this fall is sensible, as
the Democrats will find to their cost
