Imitation Is Impossible.

It has been shown that in many cases it i
easy to successfully initiate.
Scarcely has new invention been an
nounced before host of limitations spring
up on every side.
No higher cncomium car be paid the in
yentor or discoverer than to encounter
imitation, Notwithstanding such 1lattery /!
not acceptable
In some cases successful imitation is rem
dered impossible, inasmuch as the imitatol
is unable to lend a complete knowledge tc
the subject or has not the means at hand tc
Iid him.
Perhaps no article has been the object Of
attempted imitation more than the world
wide specific for the prevention and cure OF
kidney and liver disorders, Familiarity known
as Warmers Safe Cure.
in the preparation of this intensely popu-
lar remedial agent 1t is claimed that it is
impossible to successfully initiate safe cure,
even if the correct formula IS known, be.
cause the peculiar devices and highly ex-
pensivc mechanism used in its manufacture
are beyond the reach of the Would-be imi-
yator.
Adding TO this the lack Of a long expe-
rience, which has rendered perfec; every
SCep IN us preparation WnlCn inventive
genius can suggest, together with tie great
skill exercised in the selection of only the
very best materials, the genuine article is
perfection itself.
Some effort is also being made to initiate o
popular line of old-fashioned log cabin
"heme cures" known as warmers Log
Cabin" remedies, comprising a sarsoarilla
for the blood, hops and buchu for the stoni-
ach and system, cough remedy for colds,
rose cream for catarrh, extract forrelef
from pain, hair tonic, porous plastes and
pills.
Successful imitation is rendered inpossi-
Bile for the reason that the same cae has
been given in their preparation.
An expensive laboratory, costing thou
sands of dollars, has been special. con-
structed for their manufacture and is lnder
the immediate supervision of one of the best
chemists known. "a
Poor material and means employed WOW
be susceptible to easy imitation, but Jftf
the best Of material, machinery and skilled
labor employed, these household articles arc
given to the public beyond the reach of al
successful counterfelters.

FEEDING THE HOGS.
Items of Interest to Farmers Based on
Recent Experiments.

ANtctHI bAPcEiihouLSs
Custom has long prompted the far
fmer to feed his hogs on carbohydrate.
(fat-forming foods), corn being the
principal substance used, it being sup
posed that heavy weights could not be
lobtained without excessive fat, but new
light has been thrown on the system ia
the recent experiments of Prof. Henry
of the Wisconsin Experiment Station,
which is very valuable to every farmer
i'm the country. He found that by
feeding to obtain the largest proper
ton of lean meat not only the health OF
the animals was promoted but greater
weight was obtained. He selected six
pigs, and began with them when they
were 100 days old. Up to the begin
ming of the trial the pigs were fed alike
from the same trough, with mixture
composed of shorts. cornmeal, butter
milk and skimmilk, the pigs hav-
ing been cross bred Jersey Reds and
Poland Chinas. The pigs were divided
into two lots of three each. The first
dot Az were fed ration composed of
six parts dried blood, six parts of
shorts and fourteen parts of sweet
skimmilk by weight, while the second
lot OBJ were fed all the cornmeal they
could consume. They had small back
yards for exercise, and were fed for
1856 days. Lot A consumed IN the 1856
days 1902 pounds of skimmilk, Lbs
pounds of shorts and 23G pounds of
dried blood, while lot b consumed
1,G90 pounds of cOrnmeal. OF the
actual digestible matter of the food
that of lot A contained 1928 pounds of
matchmaking food (proteine) and
1873 pounds of fat-producing food Gear
bohydrates), and that of lot b con-
tanned 155 pounds of muscle-producing
food and 1,193 pounds of fat-forming
food. The weights and relative pro-
portions of lean and fat on the car
casses of each lot We're: Live weight
of lot A, 6694 pounds; dressed weight,
541S pounds; external fat $50 pounds;
lean meat, 233 pounds, and live weight
of lot b, SCI! pounds; dressed weight
AL pounds; external fat, 1j6 pounds,
and lean meat, 1871 pounds. The
hogs fed for lean meats were
10 per cent. heavier when alive, the car
casses when dressed were 81 per cent.
heavier, the bones % per cent. heavier.
the large muscles of the back GA per
cent. heavier, the tenderloin muscles
So per cent heavier and the blood ~
per cent heavier. OF all the meat
that could be cut from the carcasses
of lot A only SO per cent was fat,
while the fat from lot B was 46 per
that by u judicious system of feeding
hogs can be made to contain q larger
proportion of lean meat and weigh
more in the same period of time than
hogs fed exclusively for fat, but he
fails to give the proportionate cost of
the food, which is the most important
item. The question with farmers is
whether lean-meated hog can be pro-
ing more fat and of the same weight
Dried blood cannot be easily obtained
on some farms at low cost. and corn,
being staple product. will be given
the preference. The experiments.
however, are some of the most valua-
BILE ever conducted, and will at some
future time work a revolution in the
present system of swine feeding.-N. G.

TO many persons many kinds OF
noses, noses lovely and noses unlovely.
The great Napoloon's nose was big.
Gladstone's nose is big, but it ends in
a sharp point. Bismarck has big
nose that is, however, almost flat on
the end. General Grants nose was
not too large, but it was large enough
to be prominent. Blaine's nose is very
prominent, and all his children, inclul-
ing his daughters, are easily distin-
guishable by the same large protuber-
