A Suggestion to EMPLOYERS.

The quality that enabled man to
make it pleasure for his employees to
work for him." was q valuable one, and
one that had much to DO with his sue
cess. just what it was may be difficult
to tell. Perhaps it was the interest he
showed in their welfare, the smile with
which he greeted them, the considerable
ness with which he treated them in
bargaining and paying; or it may have
been something else. 1t was not
solely in the amount of wages he
gave them, for it is not alleged that he
gave them more than was paid by
others. There is magnetism in some
men that is not possessed by Others,
and since it is native quality it can
not be secured by those who are with
Quit. At the same time, it is possible
for men to make themselves more
agreeable than they are, and if this be
done, they may overcome the natural
defect of GOODNESS or harshness. How
easy is the work-by the carpenter, the
mill-man, the miner, the cook, the
clerk, even the preacher-when the
employers make it a pleasure.-United

a fondness for fast horses. A year or two
ago he had one thaSwas said to be a "fyer,"
and marvellous stories were told Of what she
had done, and was capable of doing. But
an intimate friend noticed that the owner
of the wonderful horse never staked any
money on her.
"Why don't you back her for good,
round sum, if she can do what you claim
she can ~ he asked That would prove
that you had confidence in her, but as it
it is"
"See here, my FRIEND" said the other,
with twinkle in his eye, "don't you know
me well enough to know that I'm FOO modest
to bet on my own nag, especially when l feel
sure that she can't come out ahead 7"

what be undertakes, he doesn't feel too mod
est to say SO. When DR.. Pierce put his

TOBACCO RAISING.
Ii Is Not Nearly SO Exlausting to the so
as Corn,

IL Is Not Nearly SO Exhausting to the SOIL
as Corn.
When the culture of tobacco was first
introduced in this section it brought
with it the idea that large quantities of
manure were requisite to secure a good
paying crop; the consequence was that
every grower whether his possessions
were large or small, piled on his tobacco
land all the manure he could get. The
depreciation of other farm products soon
became so apparent that the question
arose whether the tobacco crop was
paying. The investigation showed
that those farmers who had never
raised plant were the money lenders,
and the growers as rule were
the borrowers, and the acreage
through this discovery and the intro
duction of the Sumatra Leaf dropped
from 525 in 1880 to 2S3 in 1889 in 10
Daviess County alone. But those who
had been more successful than the most
of their neighbors continued in the bus
mess.
A system of experiments was then
adopted to ascertain whether this vast
amount of manure was requisite to our
soil to secure good crop of tobacco.
The following is the results of these eff
forts. One grower called the attention
of the writer to lot of tobacco grow
ing, which was the eight crop in success
sion, on a piece of newly-cleared land.
The soil was dark and very fertile. The
growth was very large and the yield
satisfactory, and no fertilizers had been
applied. Another reports the fifth crop
in succession without any manure ex-
cept what had been previously ap-
piled in former crops; the yield was SC
satisfactory that he proposes to plant
the sixth. This was prairie soil
And still another; he broke up seven
teen acres of an old prairie pasture, or
which he planted corn, except one acre
this he planted with tobacco. and ha.
raised four successive crops without any
manure, and the last yielded 1,SOI
pounds per acre, packing weights. In
the spring of 1889 he made a little
change in the location of thi
acre, taking a small piece of tn,
corn ground and throwing out a
much Of the tobacco land to b
planted with corn, and the result
showed that the corn on the Tobacco
ground was much larger than on tn
balance Of the Geld. and the tobacco o.

SWINE BREEDING.
The Origin and Establishment of Dis
tinct Types.

Tho Origin and Establishment of Dis.
tinct Types.
In the discussion of this question one
who has given much thought to the
subject says: 1t is a fact that the
various breeds, though SO different in
form, ETC., are Of one common parentage;
therefore, 1T must be certain that the
laws of breeding have been discovered
and closely followed. After having APP
proximated perfection by selection of
breeding animals, we are at least en-
abled to maintain the many excel
encies of the breed. Bat the question
is asked: "How are we to do this?"
Admitting these herds have been es-
tablished for many years after mature
and judicious selection, with certain
ends to be obtained, we'll defined and
settled in the minds of the
breeder, how can you be assured
progeny of an animal will be possessed
of good points of sire or dam?
And there is the great point after all,
whether the breeding for specific pur-
pose, such as early maturity, prolific
ness, predisposition to lay on fat or lean,
Is haphazard business, or whether it
is in the domain of almost unerring and
absolute certainty. 1t is a fact conced-
ed by all intelligent breeders that the
ability of an animal to transmit it's
qualities to it's offspring is largely in
fuenced by the length of time that par
ticular breed has been bred for specific
purpose.
This principle, named prepotency in
q breeding animal, is valuable just in
proportion as he or she is possessed of
this principle, and this prepotency is
more or less potential in proportion to
the time their progemitors have been
bred in that particular line. That is to
say, if two animals are as nearly alike
as possible as to individual merits,
one of which has not been uni
formly bred for a specific purpose,
the other having been SO bred, we have
no certain assurance of the product of
the first named, but can with almost
absolute certainty do pend on that of the
latter, and herein consists the great
value and need Of purity of blood in
breeding animals. Keep pure breed
ing stock. Let your breeding stock be
pure bred, not only full blood, but re-
corded in the Herd Book; ana animals
with good and desired qualifications,
and particularly those that are so much
demanded by our bacon curers of the
present day, as every step removed
from some pure fountain head only
make matters worse. You can not es-
cape the uncertainty and actual losses
which are sure to follow the use of
cross-bred animals (the boar particular.
lyl, however great the merit possessed
by them.
Though it is perfectly true that some
of our best breeders have studied to
produce types of the pig which are APP
preciated in the showyard .and are Wig
orous and prolific, at the eame time
there are also breeders that have but
one end in view, "the prizes" 4or which
the competing animals may have been
inbred and fattened in an unnatural
manner, and are consequently worthless
for the improvement of stock, an end
worth aiming at, seeing that there is no
