FATTENING PORK.
Some Good Methods of Feeding-Resul
Obtained.

Some Good Methods of Feeding-Rcsults
Obtained.
1t is generally claimed that the most
satisfactory pork is produced from pigs
fattened and slaughtered before they
are year old, but for purposes of econ
omy and the use of waste material, pigs
are wintered and the fattening carried
on after they have attained considerable
size.
II pigs are to be fattened, it is better
to give such feed during their early
growth as will develop the frame, make
bone and give suitable foundation
upon which to build in the fattening
process. Such feed may consist of skim
milk, house slops, ETC., with which is
mixed small quantity of fine feed.
This seems to be a suitable food for
bodily development, which becomes a
necessity If the best results are desired.
There is probably no better material
for fattening pork than corn-meal. 1t
is pre-eminently a fat producer, and for
that reason the feeding of it should not
be too heavy with young animals, unless
it is mixed with albumenoid material,
and substance for the development of
bony structure that can sustain the fat.
We practice mixing the meal with
water and slops instead of cooking it as
formerly. Our thoughts were turned in
this direction by experiments at the diff
ferent stations of the county, and we arc
satisfied that the results are fully as
good as by the old course which involved
more trouble.
The practice pursued by some OF mix
ing grains in grinding for hogs, such as
corn, oats, rye, buckwheat, etc, may
serve good purpose to use in limited
quantities during the entire period of
growth, for the reason that it contains
all the elements necessary for the deyel
opment of muscle and bone. But in
producing pork our idea is not SO much
to secure lean pork, but fat; il lean meat
was the sole aim, then the character OF
the food would be entirely changed.
Pork is not all of it produced for the
meat, but for the fat that is now SO ex-
tensively employed in the culinary de-
partment, and for that reason there is
little danger of getting pork too fat.
When there is danger in that line there
is no trouble in producing change, as
feeding experiments have abundantly
proven.-William II. Yeomans, in South
ern Farm.

A WOMAN CONDUCTOR.


She Understood Her Business, Got Mar
ried, and is Happy.
Talk about woman suffrage" said o
veteran railroad conductor to a reporter,
81 can relate to you n phase Of woman
that few people have seen in this coun-
try.
"A few days ago was going out from
Denver, Col, on the Denver and Rio
Grandc railroad, when was thrown in
company with lady who opened my
eyes, conductor as i was. She was n
petite brunette, who had the vim and
manner Of what | would term a manly
woman. Not impulsive and given to
erratic spells, but purely woman given
by nature to manhood's ways.
This lady was conductor on a branch
train tapping our line, and she was the
first female i ever knew acting In that
capacity.
but you must not think that she was
at all slow in meeting all demands, for
while she had her range and could go
Just so far, to that extent she did her
work superbly. She collected fares and
punched tickets like q man, but when it
came to putting some fellow off because
of his failure to comply with the require
ments of the railroad company 1t was
her custom to call on man to do the
work. The brakeman on the train was
usually present to do her commands,
but have known cases where the pas
sengers were called on to put other pas
sengers off the train.
81 will relate a singular occurrence
that took place at certain point in
the Northwest. The lady conductor
had charge OF the train, and burly,
gruff passenger from Iowa got on board.
He had not cent to pay his fare to her
knowledge, and when the ticket col
lector came along climax occurred.
She demanded his fare.
81 haven't got it to give you,' he
said.
Then you must get Off she replied,
emphatically.
AT the next station?
Yes"
"'Then have seat said he, and she
sat down by his side. She first passed
her lynx eye about, and seeing no man
around resolved to say no more.
"At the next station the mountaineer
quite unexpectedly arose, reached into
his pockets, paid his fare, and, giving
the lady scrap of parchment on which
was inscribed his name, stood on the
platform and gazed wistfully on the
train as it pulled out.
81 don't know what transpired during
the interim, but that lady is no longer a
conductor on any train. She is married,
and the mountaineer who was on the
train is her husband. He is wealthy in
mining interests, having many shafts in
constant operation. That's my idea OF
woman suffrage. The theory before the
country now has been instigated and ia
now being agitated by class of the fem
mime sex who have been, to greater or
less extent, excluded from proper un-
derstanding of life's obligations, who
have been given but one opportunity
when we find them married. This woman
to-day is any thing but suffrage ad'
vocate. memphis Appeal.

The historian Of tho Ono Hundred and
Fifteenth New York regiment pays in
cidcntally tribute TO the Thirteenth
Indiana OF the same brigade. 1t prob
ably fought more battles, he says, than
any other regiment in tho Tenth Army
Corps, and was celebrated throughout
the army for its bravery and splendid
fighting qualities. Its numbers became
at last so reduced that 1t was specially
organized and armed as battalion of
sharp-shootcrs.
At one point in front of Petersburg,
whore squad of the Indiana boys we're
Watching tho movements of tho enemy,
several of their number were rapidly
picked off, and the survivors could form
no idea whore the fatal bullets came
from.
Finally, ono man, shrewder, and IL
possible, braver than tho rcst, declared
that he would take his position on the
fatal spot, and find out the author of tho
bloody work, il It cost him his life. So,
with u select party of comrades, he re-
paired to the place, and began eagerly
watching the enemy's lines.
For three or four hours all was quiet,
but at last negro was observed walking
lcisurcly along tho Confederate works.
He carried In his arms long fence rail,
which he threw carelessly across tile
san dbags in front of him, and then dis
appeared.
In n moment the crack OF rifle vns
heard, and one of the Indiana boys fell
over dead, shot through the forehe hd.
Our hero saw at once that the negro was
the man who had played sIch
havoc with our boys, and that the in no.
cent looking fence rail contained
rifle.
He kept a sharp lookout, and preser T.
ly saw tho negro aiming fence rail at
him. He drew up his rifle, aimed quick
ly, and two rifles cracked at the same
instant. The champion of tho fence
rail fell over dead, and the Indiana man
received n slight wound in the scalp.
This was the end of tho mysterious fire
to which our sharp-shooters had been
subjected. -, .-...t.
One evening, says the New York
soldier this same man came up where
the One Hundred and Fifteenth lay, and

The rcgimental flag was strapped to
post on the breastworks, and all day tho
enemy's sharp-shooters had been trying
to cut it down. Toward evening they
opened an cmbrasure in the fort OPP
posite, and began throwing cannon-balls.
Boys" said the Indiana sharp-shoot-
er, they are trying to cut down your
flag, are they? Just let me get up to
the works, and I'll shut up their music"
The embrasuro was n mile distant,
but "lndiana' took aim, fired, and to the
surprise of all, the bullet entered the
hole, causing several heads to disappear
in an amazingly short time.
He fired five shots, and put four of the
five into the embrasure, and the John
nies, not liking such sharp practice,
ceased firing, and nothing more was
heard of that cannon for several days.

A man down in Colerain Township,
Lancaster County, lost his pension a
short time ago in a way that he thought
for time was rather mysterious, but
he now understands. Three or four years
ago he was allowed a pension for total
disability, and he received the sum Of
1880, which he claimed to be due him.
After that he received S14 month.
About two months ago the pensioner,
who makes posts and rails and sets
fence, was at work near his home when
well dressed and pleasant looking
stranger came by and engaged him in
conversation. As the pensioncr hewed
the posts, the newcomer began talking
about that kind of work and asked him
how much he could do in week. Tho
pensioner, who is inclined to brag about
himself, said that he could make more
posts and set more fence in day than
any other man in the neighborhood.
The stranger soon went away, and since
that time the countryman has not re-
ceived pension. He has since learned
that the stranger was detective in the
employ of the Government, who had
been sent there to find out whether he
was as badly disabled as he claimed to
be.-Reading pa Times.

ANCIENT BRIDGES.
Early Acquaintance OF the Chinese WI
EnrlneerInR SrIenca.

Early Acquaintance OF the Chinese with
Engineering Science.
The Chinese suspension bridges, dat
ing from the time of the Han dynasty
(202 B. c. to 22O A. d., furnish striking
evidence of the early acquaintance Of
the Chinese with engineering science.
According to the historical and geo.
graphical writers of China it was Shang
Lieng, the commander of the army under
Kaen Tsu, who undertook the construc-
tion of the roads in the province
OF Shense, to the west of the capital, the
high mountain and deep gorges Of which
could be reached only by circuitous
routes. At the head of an army of 10, 900
workmen Shang Lieng cut through
mountains and filled up the valleys with
the soil obtained from the excavations.
Where, however, this was not sufficient
10 raise road high enough, he
built bridges resting upon abutments
or projections. At other places, where
the mountains are separated by deep
gorges, he carried out plan of throw
ing suspension bridges stretching from
one slope 10 the other. Those bridges,
appropriately called by the Chinese
writers "hying" bridges, are sometimes
SO high as to inspire those who cross
them with fear. At the present day
there is still bridge in existence in
Shense, 400 feet long, which stretches
across gorge OF immense depth. Most
OF the bridges are only wide enough to
allow of the passage OF two mounted
men, railings on both sides serving for
the protection OF travellers. 1t is not
improbable that the missionaries who
first reported on Chinese bridges two
centuries ago gave the initiative to the
construction of suspension bridges IN
the west,--Iron.
