Addresses Of Welcome.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July S.-The features
of the morning in Pythian conclave circles
were a grand reception at exposition build
ing and the opening of the deliberations of
the supreme lodge at the west side Turner
hall. The weather is a shade cooler today,
and the movements of the Knights more
spirited in consequence. The exercises at
the exposition building were opened by
Mayor Peck, who made one of his
characteristic speeches of welcome. Gov.
Hood followed with a welcome on
behalf of the people of Wisconsin. The ex.
ecutives of the city and state were followed
by remarks by Grand Chancellor Hoskins
and Judge ]. 2. Linton. Following The
reception members Of the supreme lodge
were escorted to west side Turner hall

CoLLINsvILLE, Tex, July 8.-More par.
ticulars can now be had regarding the
Texas and Pacific wreck that occurred yes
terday three miles south of this place at
Range creek bridge. As the train of seven
teen cars approached the bridge on a down
grade at pretty rapid speed aryheel
which had been running loose broke own,
causing the force and pressurS OF
the whole train to spend self
at that one point, crushing Vthe
bridge to splinters and demolishing thir-
teen cars that were tumbled into the creek
with their contents, forming the worst
wreck that ever has happened in this part
of the country. No one was seriously hurt.
The engine and caboose escap q. Conduc-
tor Ford was in charge of the train, which
was loaded mostly with fee, beer, whiskey,
oil, coal and coke. 1t took but short time
for hundreds of the natives to surround the
destructive scene, anG in a shorter time
their nestrils seemed the wasting beer and
wine which they drank of freely, and then
barrels of whiskey that were not
wasting. Soon the boozy crowd be-
came uncomfortable by the officers
that were put in charge and in open def
ance hundreds of dollars worth of goods
were stolen. IL is es imated that $4,000
will not more than cover the loss sustained
by the railway company, and it will be yet
another day before the wreck is cleared so
trains con pass.

time Of year be cold or warm, the pigs
should always be furnished with dry,
comfortable quarters, under shelter, and
straw nest. Nothing goes further to
promote healthy and vigorous growth of
bone and muscle tnan free run on good
pasture Yet this fact is still ignored by
thousands of farmers, especially in the
older States.
But what We are most interested in is
to promote rapid growth on a cheap
diet. There are very few dairy farmers
who utilize for their swine more than half
of the nutriment contained in the sour
milk, buttermilk and whey from their
dairy. This swiil is generally fed in iT-
regular quantities; it is often given too
sour; it is poured into unclean troughs,
to be guzzled down with a certain
amount of filth; and it is not fed in con-
nection with solid food. All of these
conditions -ob the cheap and valuabl"
swill from the dairy of its real worth, and
pigs will gain very slowly upon it.
Waste milk and whey cost no immediate
outlay; if they are not utilized as pig
feed they will be thrown away. Do not
feed whey in excessive quantities; do
not feed it at all when it is very sour.
Buttermilk may be mixed with the whey
before feeding. A clear diet of butter
milk has a tendency to make the pigs

Swill is enough to make them develop as
fast as nature will allow. If they begin
to fatten diminish the grain and give
them a more extensive run. Remember
that hogs are grazing animals, so give
them bright hay in winter and the run OF
clover yard in summer. BY all means
keep them out Of the mire; allow no filth
holes to exist in their quarters. In sum
mer furnish them with a troughtul oI
clean water at least once day. Starting
with spring pigs there is no reason why
farmers may not, at low cost, make o
them large shoats for fall fattening. A
pig which has had natural, healthy
growth all summer is, without extra
feeding, partially fattened by fall

FOOD AND CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.

In the East we do not have access to
cribs of cheap corn, such as our Western
brothers are favored with for the pork

more economical way Of producing this
standard meat. am strongly in favor
of every Eastern farmer raising his own
pork, but | want to see 1t accomplished
on II paying basis. If two. thirds of the
farmers outside Of the corn belt, who
raise hogs Tor family use, would figure
out the actual cost OF their home-fed
pork, they would find that it far exceed
cd the moneycd worth Of the commodity
in their local markets. The principal
causes are slow development of the grow
ing shoat, and the final cost of fattening
it. We must make the shoat grow
faster, and fatten it at nominal outlay.
First, pigs should not be taken from their
dam too young; they should suckle her
until they are at least six weeks old; the

ration Of producing food. Before
they are wcaned, the young pigs will
learn to feed in the trough with their
mother, and, at six or seven weeks Of
age, they are capable of maintaining q

this stage Of their growth, pigs are very
easily stunted, and they need a liberal

WHY FARMERS OUGHT TO KEEr BEE:

WHY FARMERS OUGHT TO KEEP BEES.
The fact that bees are pollen distribu-
tors is sufficient reason why place
should be made for them on every farm.
If kept for no other purpose than the ben
eft they do TO growing crops and fruit
bearing trees and plants by spreading the
pollen among the blooms, these indus
tricus workers would be a valuable ad-
junct. Testimony Is abundant and con-
elusive as to the desirable effects Of bees
upon grape-vines, fruit trees and fruit
bearing plants generally. Indeed, one
prominent apiarist goes so far rs to insist
that few hives OF bees judiciously
placed will revive fruit farm from n
non n-paying to profitable investment.
Field crops, scientists tell us and wide
awake farmers know from their own OBJ
servation, are greatly assisted by the
honey manipuatiOns. Indeed their
influence is required for the perfect floral
fertilization Of some Of the cereal crops
and the meadow grasses. Where the
farmer is too busy to give his personal at

suggested that he purchase few hives
and turn these over to the care of his
wife and daughters. They will find the
pin-moncy accrung from the sale OF the
honey a convenient and pleasant return
for the labor and time spent among the
bees The outdoor occupation, too will
prove a welcome and healthful change
frc n indoor drudgcry, which they can
then afford TO hire done.-NeU YORK

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
DUCKS SHOULD HAVE SHADE.


The duck is more thickly covered with
feathers than the hen, aud is, therefore,
more subject to the effects of heat on very
warm days. They are sometimes affected
by sunstrokc and die in a few minutes.
Ducks have but few diseases, but they
will thrive only under proper conditions.
They must have some kind of shade in
summer to protect them from the direct
rays of the sun.-Nelo York Herald.

Trusts and the Tariff.

In the debate on trusts in the United
States Senate. Senator Vest gave an in
teresting list of trusts, and showed the
dependence of these monopolies in each
case he named upon tariff duties exclud-
ing competition from abroad.
I. The steel rail trust, buttressed by a
tariff tax OF $17 per ton. :,
2. The nail trust, by a tariff tax OF
$125 per 100 pounds.
3. The iron nut and washer trust, by
tax of So per 100 pounds.
4. The barbed fence wire trust, by a
tax Of 80 cents per 100 pounds.
5. The copper trust, by tax OF $2.oo
per 100 pounds.
s. The lead trust, by tax OF $3.50
per 100 pounds.
Z. The slate pencil trust, by tax OF
80 per cent.
s. The nickel trust, by tax of $l5
per 100 pounds.
8. The zinc trust, by tax OF $3.50
per 100 pounds.
Id. The sugar trust,by tax OF 81 per
100 pounds.
II. The oilcloth trust, by tax OF 40
per cent.
II. The jute bag trust, by tax OF 40
per cent.
13. The cordage trust, by tax OF 3o
per cent.
IA. The paper envelope trust, by a tax
of IS per cent.
Is. The gutta percha trust, by tax OF
35 per cent.
lis. The castor oil trust, by tax OF 81
cents per gallon. .
IL. The linseed oil trust, by tax OF
25 cents per gallon.
Is. The cottonseed oil trust, by tax
of 25 cents per gallon.
l9 The borax trust, by tax OF 20
per 100 pounds.
90. The ultramarine trust by a tax
of rs per 100 pounds.
Senator Sherman added to this list the
match trust, at the head of which is
General Alger. Of Michigan; the Stand
ard Oil trust, and various grain trusts.
1t will be noticed that all are articles
required and used by the mass OF the
PEOPLE. Thus in the Republican tariff,
common, coarse blankets and woolen
goods always bear much higher duty
than the fine goods used by the rich,
and this discrimination runs through
the whole of the Allison bill and its sue
cessor, the Mckinley bill. Both these
bills tax the poor man much more
heavily than the rich.-lSan Jose
