TREATMENT OF HOGS.

They Need CIeanliness Every Bit as Mucn
as Human Being.
often wonder why it is that people
are so careless with their stock. es-
pecially with their hogs. There IS
more money realized from hogs, and
in less time. than from any other stock
fed for market, and yet they are less
cared for. 1t seems to me that farm
ers should be ashamed to treat the
poor creatures as they do. Of course
there are exceptions, but very many
farmers are certainly too careless OF
their swine, so much SO that they
suffer great loss by it every year.
If there was more care taken of hogs
there would certainly be less disease.
Many farmers have ponds for watering
places for their stock. and give their
hogs access to them, let them wallow
and drop their excrement in the pond
until it becomes too foul and filthy for
frogs to inhabit. Yet the stock must
drink this water as long as it is thin
enough to swallow. They are often fed
in a manure pile. and have to sleep in
a fence corner with the top rail for a
storm shelter. If this class of farmers
buy thoroughbred boar and his pigs
do not do well and make three hun
dred-pound hogs at nine to ten months
old, under the above conditions. they
denounce the thoroughbreds failure.
Just let these men try drinking filthy
water and eating one kind of food for
twelve months and see if they thrive.
l tell you a hog needs cleanliness as
well as human being does. They re-
quire pure water, good dry sleeping
quarters and a change Of food, and
they must have these. 1t is my opin-
ion that if all hog raisers would be
careful in the treatment of hogs the
losses would not be but fraction OF
what they are to-day by contagious
and other diseases. 1t will cost but q
very little to make comfortable quar-
tiers for hogs, and those who pay out q
little money and take little time tt
provide such quarters will soon get i
all back with interest. Not only this
but when you butcher your hogs you
would relish your pork better if you
knew that your hogs had not beer
raised in filth, the meat would taste
better to you. and the pig would no
be squealing in your stomach.-Cor
Western Swineherd.

Condemned Historical Review by tins
Greatest of Norwegian Poets.

Condensed Historical Review by the
Greatest of Norwegian Poets.
During the long period that Norway
was united with Denmark 145O-l0l4)
all official positions in the country were
almost exclusively held by Danes. and
it frequently happened that they were
totally unfit for their post, and did not
even understand the language OF the
peasants.
Less than the many errors and the
insolence of these officials was needed
to arouse the Independent spirit OF the
Norwegian peasantry, who during the
long union with Denmark never for a
moment had allowed any encroach-
ment upon their Independence, which
the feudal right to their farms, in
herited from their fOrefathers, had
for generations-nay, for centuries
maintained.
An attempt to bind Norway more
closely to Denmark was made by in
ducing some of the sons of the old
peasant families on the large farms to
stay for some time in Denmark. Most
of these farms are found in the heart OF
the country, and in the Throudhjem
district, and many are found on the
coast as far up as Nordland. These
sons were to be made noblemen-which
they, however, thought they already
were. They were at first to go through
a course of military discipline and to
learn "gOod manners" but the attempt
proved miserable failure, for the lads
gave the officers and their teachers a
sound thrashing, and got up mutiny.
and had at last to be sent home again.
An attempt to organize a Norwegian
corps of Lifeguards, in attendance
upon the King at Copenhagen. was just
as unsuccessful, and terminated in the
same way. Such occurrences, how
ever, tended to strengthen the claim OF
the country for national independence.
What was Norwegian could not be
made Danish; this was gradually being
understood.
Thus the yearning for independence
developed quietly, and soon found a
mouth-piece in the Norske Selskab (the
Norwegian Society, literary gather.
ing of Norwegian students at the Co
penhagen University; their victorious
fsticuffs with their Danish brethren
became in time a spiritual alliance fol
the welfare of the father-land. The
ancestral pride of these Independent
Odel-peasants had long been the nat
ural foundation for this awakening
patriotism; now it also became the
historical-legal ground for their claim
for political self-government. In due
time it attained its end, when Norway
in 1914 became an Independent king
dom.
Then the people entered upon new
era, which quickly discovered then
from their old barbarous customs, ant
in which the natural strength and abil
ity of the people reached to attain
ments which united what hitherto hai
been disunited and hostile.
Under this gradual growth, with self
made laws, and with municipal as wei
as national self-gOvernment, with al
increasing enlightenment and good
schools, with newspapers. with liter
allure, with lectures, meetings, pOlitica
and social movements, the people have
made astonishing progress, and under
this newly awakened life the old-fash
Toned religious intolerance has become
an archaism. -Bjornstjerne Bjornson
in Harper's Magazine.

Ticissitudes of Fortune in the Career of the
Noted Banker.
Among the pushing throng of Broad
way to-day was an old gentleman clad
more in the garb of a countryman than
that of a great financier. His clothes
were plain, and his white SLOUGH hat
with its broad brim gave him the ap-
pearance of a well-to do-farmer. The
hair and beard of Jay Cooke is now
snow white, but he still moves along
as if contented with life. No one
familiar with his everyday appearance
would think he was the famous banker,
the man who has handled more mil
lions than any other private Individual

than any other, and finally has grown
rich again after he had grown old.
While he is by no means as familiar a
figure as he used to be, and does not min
gle in the uncertainty of ''the street.
as of yore. he is more frequently seen
among the hustle of business than al
most any man Of his age.
Jay Cooke has had singular career.
When the war broke out he lived out
along Lake Erie, at Sandusky, and Sal.
mon P. Chase, while Secretary of the

life, which he followed to disaster. and
then built anew from nothing. Mr.
Cooke never forgot or neglected his
home in Ohio. and one of his charities
is a beautiful home ON an island in
Lake Erie, few miles from Sanduskv
which he bought and named ''Gibral.

romantic walks, and built a commodi.

the house with every Imaginable com.

GRATutrOuS ADVICE.
Hfnts for Young Men Who Desire to Gro

aints for Young Men Who Desire to Grow
Wealthy and wise.
Oh! young man. in your youth either
split rails or work on canal boat.
Then when you grow older, the Presi-
Dental chair may be yours. Do not
dream of organizing youthful band of
faithful followers to go West and
slaughter Indians. for the red men,
with the assistance of bad whisky and
government ammunition, are killing
themselves as fast as possible.
Always speak kindly to your sick
uncle. He may make will some day
and, perchance, he might leave you
one of the family spoons; or, even bet
ter, you might become the envied pos
SCISSOR of his antique oak boot-jack.
When your parents disagree on some
slight subject preserve a discreet
silence. and, if possible, leave the room.
for when your father comes out second
best. as he invariable will, he may take
his revenge on your youthful hide.
Do not cry when you have to stay
indoors and play with the little girls.
As you grow older, you will find that a
little girl is a great comfort, even
though she consents to be only a sister
to you.
Read your Sunday-school books but
do not believe all they tell you. For
if you did, you would imbibe the very
erroneous theory that virtue and hon
esty are the only roads to riches and
that the good young man alone sue
ceeded in marrying the beautiful
heiress.
In sharing candy or fruit with your
younger brother. always bear in mind
that too much would make the little
fellow sick. Remembering this, you
will always be justified in taking the
larger share for yourself.
On the occasion of your fathers birth
day. do not seek to please him by in
vesting your boarded pennies in a pair
of embroidered slippers. A little
slipper in the hands of an angry parent
is often source of great discomfort to
mischievious youngster.
When your country cousin comes to
visit you, do not take advantage of his
ignorance by making him believe that
the cable cars are run by thunder and
lightning; for, when you return his
visit next summer. he may repay evil
for evil by telling you that a horuet's
nest is huinming bird..-Time.
