Frank Bangs arrived here yesterday
on the AlbatFoss, and declares that

Feeding Pigs.

A report from the Agricultural college
of the University of Illinois gives the re-
suits of some experiments in feeding pigs.
Numbered in these experiments was enc
made in feeding corn in the ear, shelled
and ground into meal Conclusions from
these experiments were that: Looked at
from all sides these trials indicate that
when fed dry, whole corn produces better
results than corn meal Where the differ
ence is simply due to the cost of grinding
the corn, the difference in the cost Of pro-
ducing 100 pounds of increase at the low
price of % cents per bushel for corn, will
be % cents or more-an item worth the
attention of every hog raiser.
Experiments were also made to deter
mine the comparative value of cornmeal
and oatmeal Two lots of hogs were fed.
Lot one ate, during the period Of five
weeks, 40S % pounds of cornmeal, costing
1928, and 40S.25 pounds of ground oats,
costing So So; making total cost of food
S5.68. The increase made was 1855
pounds, which makes the cost Of food per
100 pounds Of increase, $3.50. The in
crease produced by coCnmeal cost So. 5S,
and by sheIled corn So 80 per 100 pounds.
1t thus cost $1.32 more per 100 pound. OF
increase with mixed food than with corn
meal, and S1.60 more than with shelled
corn

Taking Other Peopie's Advice,

There is probably however, no more
melancholy fact in human affairs than the
infrequency with which any individual
mans experience is Of use to anybody
else. If we profit by experience at all, it
seems to be mainly by the experience Of
the human race, or Of our particular nation,
rather than by that of any individual
friend, or relative, or preceptor. No
matter how much we may respect
CT admire Brown or Jones, or
even father or uncle, we generally
take care not to follow his advice in the
management of our own lives. Every
body who has had much experience IS q
counselor knows well that people usually
seek advice in order to get encouragement
in pursuing a course on which they have
already determined. In truth, it may be
said that most Of Us are constitutionally
incapable of doing well what other people
think best, unless we also ourselves think
it best. To follow successfully plan
traced for Us by somebody else, it has gen
orally TO be plan which does not concern
US except as another mans agent or ser
want and has his satisfaction for its su-
preme object.-New York Post.

Story for Newsnaner Men.

Newspaper men everywhere will appre-
ciate the point of a story that is told by
Chicago people about W. Z. Curtis, TIE
well known correspondent, who was sec
rotary and afterward member of the
South American commission. 1t seems
that Curtis went to Europe some time ago
for The Chicago News, with the special
mission of investigating and writing up
Anarchy, Nihilsm and other kindred af-
flictionS of the Old World monarchies.
When he came back his material was put
in shape for one big issue Of the paper.
1t had cost some $4,000. Before it could
be printed Curtis, on railroad train with
an old fellow journalist of The Inter
Ocean, talked for hours about his Euro
pean trip. The others memory was re-
tentive and he printed in The Inter Ocean
next day three column 'interview" with
Curtis. 1t was the pith of all his elabo-
rately prepared article, which was
"killed. New Orleans Times Democrat.

Catching the Puhlio FANCY.

I havo On acquaintance who earns q
handsome living, with money TO spare, by
inventing new devices Of ali kinds likely
10 catch the capricious public fancy. He
has invented toys, bats, advertisements,
inks, pens, pencils and I know not what
else, and is now concentrating his energies
upon q novelty in stationery. The de-
mand for new styles and shapes IN fancy
stationery is constant. Any oddly, how
ever eccentric IN color, size or form that
it may be, is certain TO go. What he pro-
poses Is to preseutatly put upon the
market black paper and envelopes, to be
written on with white ink. He has per-
fected his device, he AYERS, and expects to
reap handsome fortune by it. For per-
sons in very deep mourning, especially
those who have lest wealthy relatives
who have remembered them in their wills,
IL should certainly possess unusual
attractions. As We have had every other
color in stationery but black, nothing
will, suppose, remain after it but for him
to invent some substitute for paper TO
write on.-Trurnble In New York News.

htion size, seven-eighths inches round,

His broad harness straps were always
properly adjusted. SO that there should De
no reasonable ground for the laying back
Of ears or the letting fly Of heels.
The authorities deemed it important
that Williams and his mules should be in
Washington on the day Of Lincoln's in
auguration, and they started for the ns-
tional capital on March /, but history fails
to record the exact date OF their arrival
inasmuch as the ceremonies passed OF
successfully, and without interference
from the confederates, we may infer that
the whole six added the music Of their
voices TO the cheers that went up from IL
front CT the Capitol On that memorable
occasion. They remained on duty in and
about the 6efenses or Washington until
May u, 1852, when they were transferred
to Fortress Monroe, and reported to Gen
Mcclellan, c. his lawful representatives.
They marched up the Peninsula, partici
pated in the siege OF Yorktown, the battle
Of Williamsburg, snd TIE arduoUs mud
marches of the Ch;ckahominy. At the
seven days fight al six were present for
duty, and, with indiscrinlinate efficiency,
hauled army supplies or CHASTITY loads Of
dead and wounded, until they reseAsd
Hsrrison's Landing with the Army Of the
Potomac. Thence Williams drove back
to Fort Monroe, and was shipped 20
Washington with hts team In time 10 haul
ammunition out to Manassas Junction,
and take part in what al Irish soldier Lad
called our annual batting at Bull Run. s"
They saw the tables turned ut Antietau,
and turned back again at fredericksburg,
where they were in the ammunition train.
Under Gen. Hooker, the team followed
the fortunes Of war through the Chaucel-
lorsville and Chantilly campaigns, ard
was with Grant in front OF Petersburg
But there, sad 10 relate, the faithful
saddle mule, on whose back Williams had
ridden SO many weary miles, was killed
by artillery fire from the enemy's works.
Her surviving comrades bore up under
this affection and admitted a new ineuun-
bent, with their usual grace. The intro
duction OF stranger was not permitted
to interfere with regular duties. and the
team worked right along until the fall of
Richmond.
In June following ds85). hostilitiss had
ceased, and the team was ordered back to
Washington, where it was transferred
back to the regular army, and was on
duty Herewith in August 1866, There
Is no evidence forthcoming TO show that
the faithful Williams Is not still cracking
his black snake over the backs of his
historic team st some remote frontier
post; but, in the nature of things, the
four footed members of the association
must long since have been honorably re
tired, or perhaps shot, for such is the
merciful method Of dealing with the super
animated government mule.
None of these animals was more than
fourteen and half hands high, nor
weighed more than 900 pounds. They
frequently went without hay or grain for
four or five days, snosissing on vayside
groupings; and several times they were
without water for twenty-four hours

Exercise without apparatus.

Very good exercise in lifting can be OBJ
tanned without special apparatus, as by
lifting chairs in different ways. Thus the
chair may be lifted at arms length by a
front rung grasped knuckles upward or
downward; or by the lower end of a
front leg-the back being in every case
brought to vertical position and so main
tanned while the lift lasts. Strength may
be tested either by the weight of the chair
lifted or by the time during which the
chair is held out. 1t is noteworthy that
often the man who can lift the heaviest
chair at arms length in some particular
way may be surpassed by another wheE
the mode of lifting is altered. And again,
those who lift the heaviest weights in
these ways are not always those who can
maintain their hold longest Resolution
comes in as a factor in the last named
test. One will often see great and strong
but easy going man lift out at arms
length weight which another cannot
bring for moment TO that position, who
yet viii not hold out half that weight for
half the time at which 1t will be held out
by the weaker, whose resolute will enables
him to sustain his hold TO the very last
