by the author of "Tom Brown

scanning the English literary
field, would doubtless revert to
the time-hOnored maxim "blood

has left an exalted and enduring
reputation, and in "Robert Els

Humphry Ward, has shown an
earnestness Of literary purpose
which has thrilled thoughtful
men and women throughout
Christendom. And now comes
another granddaughter of the
good old Doctor, Miss Ethel NJ.

HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion Of The Caucasian and
the Opinion of others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics Of the Day.

The world was surprised last
week by the news that North
Dakota had passed a law legal
izing a lottery, with the under
standing that a part OF the pro-
ceedS was to 20 to pay the State
debt. 1t now turns out that the
State is bought up by the Lou
isiana State Lottery. In other
words the Louisiana State Lot
terry furnished money to the
Republicans to buy up enough
vote ) to put them in power on
the condition that the party
would legalIze a similar Lot
terry in that State. The charter
of the Louisiana Lottery expires
III 1892, and there is no hope
that it can ever get another
i'll that State, so in 1892 the Lou
isiana State Lottery will move
to North Dakota and proceed
with operations there. This
corrupt bargain not only brands
an already tattooed and dis
graced party with additional
shame, but also a disgrace to
the State that its treasury should
bea beneficiary of such legalIzed
robbery. There would be nc
difference in principle, if the
State had licensed lot of high
way robbers on the condition
that a part of their thefts should
go to the States Golfers. .

We were out driving a few
evenings since with DR.. Carr, of
Wilmington, who Is visiting in
Clinton. We passed several
farms near town where by eva
sion a clay sub-soil Was exposed.
The Doctor observed that such
laad should be plowed with a
sub-soil plow, thereby enriching
the land and making it suitable
for clover and timothy. He said
he knew many such farmers
with a poor sandy surface soil
that had been made valuable by
such management.

The Hog.

Commissioner Johu Robinson,
assisted by Profs. Massey, Cham
berlain and others, held a Farm
ers' Institute III Wayne county
January Both and Dist. The
Argus, in reporting the proceed
ings, says:
"Thursday morning Professor
Chamberlain discussed the sub
ject of swine and swine raising.
He said: Say what you please,
but pork is our main depend
ence for meat supply, and we
cannot get along without it.
We must either raise or buy it.
Which shall we do? The hog
is valuables ass a producer. He
turns into a most valuable pro-
duct all kinds of waste materi-
al, and because Of his independ-
ence in regard to the quality Of
his food and his habits, he is
the worst treated animal in the
world. He requires reasonable
treatment and makes Il good re-
turn for it. He is, however, sub
ject to certain sanitary laws
which seem often 10 be forgot
ten. Hogs should not be kept
in large heardS; should be fed
On the cheapest and Lealthiest
food, which is clover or grass.
Meat produced frem this feed
will not be so fat, but will be
better than that raised on corn
exclusively. Hogs properly
managed will improve land
faster than any other animal
they improve the land upon
which they are pastured most
rapidly. Glover for hogs can
not be grown successfully upon
all lands. but rye is a great sub
stitute and can be grown any
where. The first nine months
of a hogs life is the time to
make the most of him, and the
cheapest and best meat can be
made during this period, Up
to seventy-fve pounds pigs make
most returns for food given; af-
ter this weight is passed the in
creased weight is at gradually
increasing cost. therefore, it is
a mistake to keep hogs un,il
they grow old. Did not recon-
mend any special breed Inany
are good, but whatsoever breed
is chosen thoroughbred sires
should be used. The boar shOnld
be close built, active; soWs l0ng
er, roomy, with at least twelve
good nipples. The skin should
be clean, hair soft, ears delicate;
feet and legs clean and small
head small face short and dish,
ed. There are many draw backs
but with care we can raise oul
own meat and save the continu
al outlay Of money we need t
keep at home. / think porl

advantages here are far saperi-

most ot this State we can grow
clover with much greater sue
cess than there. Here We gel Il

get no crop 1t year, and only a
partial crop the third, while we
get crop for three years.
Mr.. W. F. kornegay said that
lie was one of the farmers who
did not even have q pig. lie
had thought tlat he was SD sit
uated that ii would net pay him
could dc better raising beef,
but he believed that pork could
be profitably raised in she way
suggested by Prof. G. lie re-
membered how his father used
IL raise hogs, feeding heavily
the year round on corn, and he
lad always been sure that meat
raised that way must cost 10
cents per pound. He believed,
however, thas pasturing land by
any Eink of stock was injurious
to the land.
DR.. J. f. Person said that he
thought that Mr.. kornegay
made a mistake in not raising
his meat, as we ought TO make
our farms self-supporting. He
had raised more meat this year
than ever before, mainly on crab
grass and rye. He did not Craze
the rye but used the grain.
Mr.. Bryan: | have pastured
hogs on green rye for several
years and want nothing better
[ have some spots that ] SOW in
rye in august or September and
Use the rye for winter and spring
feed. They follow the rye il
one lot with field peas, an early
kind, and in another by ground
peas (spanish) and sweet pota-
toes, and turn the hogs on the
peas, then on the potatoes and
round peas, and this helps
wonderful in the production Of
cheap pork. TO make the most
out of this plan the lots should
be rich, and this method Ielps
to enrich them. | have never

Prof. Chamberlain: Hogs eau

spoken of by Mr.. Kornegay
There is a big difference in hogs
Pork can be raised more piof
table than ny other meat, be
cause a large percentage Of the
fool consumed by them goes t
make flesh, than i'll any Other
animal. Hog cholera cannot b,

DAIRY NOTES

WHEN the udder is inGamed milk frequently and apply cold water. If it is very bad case apply linseed meal poultice.
 IF that dog insists upon having fun with the COWS on their way to or from the pasture tickle him with so1e cold lead if there is no other way to stop him.
 LET the laziest man or boy and the best-natured one drive the cows to and from the pasture, and never complain about his slowness if he keeps the cows moving.
 IT costs at least two ounces of butter per COW before the effect of bad fright caused by strange dog running through the milk-yard wears away, says an ex- change.
 IT is to be hoped the dairy show at the coming Columbian Exposition will be made National dairy school, where the producer can learn to make finer goods and the consumer learn to know what fine butter and cheese really is.
 Or the millions of COWS that are kept for dairy purposes in the United States, statistics show the average income to be about twenty-five dollars each, sum far below the cost of properly keepink COW for daipy work in any dairy dis trict

The Galley slave.

Think of six men chained to bench, naked as when they were born, one foot on the stretcher, the other on the bench in front, holding an immensely heavy oar (fifteen feet long), bending forward to the stern with arms at full reach to clear the backs of the roWers in front, who bend likewise and then, having got forward, showing up the oars end to let the blade catch the water, then throwing their bodies back on to the grooming bench. A galley oar sometimes pulls thus for ten, twelve or even twenty hours without 8 moments rest. The boat swain, or other sailor, in such 8 stress puts piece of bread steeped in wine in the wretched rower's mouth to keep him from fainting, and then the captain shouts the order to redouble the lash. If slave falls exhausted upon his oar which often chances-hei is logged till he is taken for dead and then pitched un- tremendously into the sea.-Stanley Lane Pool

sustained Moderation Impossible.

For those who once give way to intem- perance there is no such thing as mod eration. Such is the testimony of the license of the Rickmansworth retreat for inebriates We have not one case on our books Of sustained moderation after leaving us," he adds; :" it is either relapse or cure.'' On the other hand, the number of patients who voluntarily submit to restraint for fixed period under the inebriates acts and who are permanently cured of their habits of in- temperance is very large. and many of these become prosperous men after hay ing sunk to the lowest depths of degre- dation. As the advantages of these retreats become better known there is less unwillingness on the part of intem- perate persons to become inmates of them, more especially, for such is the magic in a name, since the obnoxious epithet '' habitual drunkard was omit ted from the amended acts relating to these establishments.-L Daily News
