A little more than a year ago
many cities were visited by the
agents Of u great national loan and

ters which were in Minnesota. Cir
culars were scattered about show
ing the great profits to be secured,
and advantages were named which
threw the local associations into
the shade. Agents were appointed
and preparations made to d" bust
ness on a magnificent scale, afford
ing homes for the borrowers at mar
velously low rates, and dividends
and shareholders which would ex.
coed the profits of those who loan
money on the principle which pre-
walls in establishments whose sign
is three gilded balls. The result
was that large sums of money were
collected and loaned, but not SO
much was heard of dividends. Last
week came the announcement that
the Minnesota officials have decided
that it is necessary to close the af-
tfairs of the association, because its
liabilities already exceed its re-
ceipts. The statement shows that

License Laws Unjust. Sinful and
Ubiquitous.


Mr.. EDITOR
In your last issue Teetotaler
makes the assertion that every man
who teaches that license laws are
the most unjust, etc., prays and la
bOrs for the return to the good old
times, when every body could do
just as he pleased about making
AMI selling whiskey and killing his
neighbor with the Internal stuff!
Now l understand him to say, that
making and selling whiskey, with
out license, as in the good old times,
would result in killing men indis-
criminately by the makers and sell
lers. This l understand to be his
argument, and this is true. And
observation, as well as well as rea-
son teaches US that licensing the
making and selling of Whiskey
does not and can not change the
nature of the "infernal stuff" or the
effects of it when made and sold,
aud that whiskey made and sold
under license laws kill men just as
effectually as without license.
Then l should like to ask him, II a
law licensing a traffic that kills
sixty-fve to seventy thousand per
sons every yesr is not "most un.
just law?" Is it net sinful? Is II
not ubiquitous? Certainly it is,
am as ever, for absolute prohibition
as the only effective remedy against
the indiscriminate sacrifice of hu
man life by the makers and sellers
of whiskey. w. H. HENRY.

Romance Of an Umbrella.

While working in an umbrella factory
in Sheffield, England, about three years
ago, Miss Annie Hodgson wrote her name
and address on an umbrella which she
had just completed. The result brought
about by this careless action is quite ro-
mantle. Along with hundreds Of others
the umbrella was shipped to this country,
says the Albany, N. Y. Argus. At New
Yorkit was sold to merchant and finally
reached Long Lake, Hamilton County,
and was purchased by young man named
jerome Wood. Some weeks passed be-
fore he noticed the name on its interior.
T len he wrote to the young woman whose
ad lress was on the umbrella. She an
sw red. The correspondence, thus
strangely started, lasted until her depar-
ture for this country. she took up her
residence in Troy as housekeeper for her
brother. After some time she went to
Palmer's Falls, thence to Racquette Lake,
where she was employed during the SUM
mer at The Antlers.n
Mr.. Wood was employed at the lake eby
w. w. Durant, and it was there that the
lady and gentlnman first met. AT
Luzerne the other day Miss Hodges and
Mr.. Wood were made one. So much for

THE STOCK-RANCA.
Experiments b Swine Fssdinr.

experiments in swine Feeding.
In the sixth annual report of the Wis
consin Experiment Station, Professor
Henry makes the following deductions
from the results of experiments to de-
termine the effects of various foods upon
hogs:
l. For the market price or cost of
production, Indian corn is beyond all
comparison the cheapest single food ar
ticle for hogs. g. Hogs will live long
time and make fair gain upon an ex-
elusive corn ration. 8. When kept
upon such ration they grow quite fat,
but when yet small, have the form and
appearance of mature hogs, being
dwarfed in size. 4. When kept upon
corn ration, with or without ashes, if
keptin the pen, hogs seem satisfied; af-
ter eating they lie down in apparent
comforts to await the next meal. 5. The
carcass OF the hog on corn ration con-
tains more fat and less terthan does the
carcass of the hog on mixed ration. 6.
The carcass of the hog on corn ration
may contain quarter less
muscle or lean meat than that on mixed
ration. 7. Hogs on corn ration have
less blood in their bodies than those on
mixed ration. 8. The liver of hogs on
corn ration weighs less than that of the
hogs on mixed ration. 8. The kidneys
of hogs on corn ration are smaller than
those of hogs on mixed ration. 10. The
skeleton of the ihog on corn ration is
lighter than that of the hog on mixed
ration. II. The hide of the hog on
corn ration weighs less than that Of the
b og on mixed ration. 12. The hair OF
the hog on corn ration may be less than
that of the hog on mixed ration. Is.
The bones of the hog on corn ration
have much less strength than those of
the hog on mixed ration. IA. Hogs
living on corn meal, water and salt, did
not seem to have their bones strength
ened by feeding we'll water, instead of
rain water. Is. Hogs living on corn
meal, salt, and rain water, had their
bones doubled in strength by feeding
hard wood ashes, and still further
strengthened by feeding ground bone.
16. Hogs fed on ground bone or hard
wood ashes had the ash material of
their bones about double in amount,
ground bones giving better results than
wood ashes. II. Hogs living on corn
meal, salt, and water, when fed ground
bone or ashes, drank more water, con-
sumed more food, and made much
heavier gains than those not getting
bone or ashes. 18. There was no in
csease of muscle with the hogs on corn
ration getting ground bone or hard
wood ashes, over those on the same
feed getting no ground bone or ashes.
10. While the body of the hog, perfect
or imperfect, is the result of inheritance,
itcan be greatly modified by the food
given.

THE PoULTRY-YARD.
Care in Raising Poultry.

Care In Raising Poultry.
j. M. Rice, of Christian County, Mo-,
contributes the following to the Prac-
tical Farmer:
Most farmers read the poultry journals
or articles on poultry in our farm papers
with great MANY mental reservations,
especially when the question of profit is
treated. AS general rule the condi-
tions as to market are not SO favorable
on the farm as it is to those who consti-
tute the majority Of our poultry writer's.
They are generally breeders of thor
oughbred stock and live close to the
best markets, devote their whole time
to the business and have the inside"
as to both quality and prices. But aside
from these we Judge the difference in
profits is accounted for principally in
the question of care. We often hear it
said 1if we only got the prices" of some
supposed favored locality then we
GOULD make it pay largely" But they
forget that generally where large prices
are received, large expenses III raising
are found. Now the most pertinent
points in care at this season of the year.
are the care in setting the hens and Of
the chicks until they are at least o
month old. The common faults are set
ting hens where they are constantly dis
turbed by the laying ones; not examin-
ing the eggs to see if they are fertile,
resulting in o comparatively small hatch
and many of these killed in the nest.
The little chicks receive the vermin
from the mother, Weakening if not de-
stroying many Of them; they are trailed
about in the dew, caught out in many
showers, in fact the disasters to the
young chicks are legion in numbers.
Now first, the nest boxes should be 30
arranged that they can be slipped from
the laying room through the partition
into quiet apartment, where nothing
but the other setting hens and the at
tendant enters. Here feed and water
with other necessaries are kept, and
only an occasional outing is ever neces-
sary, and but little attention otherwise
is needed until the chicks are twenty
four hours old. Fanciers have much to
say as to their food, but we take it that
there is no special secret here. II the
mother is lonsy, as ID apt to be the case,
il care in q very special manner has not
been given to house aad fowls, put as
