A Pound Of Pork.

Prof. Hunt, of the Illinois College
Farm, after a series of experiments, has
b following to say regarding the

pork:
/. It required 1880 pounds of skim
milk to produce l pound of pork when
fed with cornmeal, ratio ]. 147 to fatten-

2. Skim milk could not be econom-

sulphur Din and Aneora Goats.

We always welcome the testimony of
those who have had experience in any
line of farm work or who have found
out any new thing that is helpful, as we
consider such information the most
valuable; therefore it is with pleasure
we publish the following from the pen
Of MIR. w. H. Steele, Texas:
In answer to the inquiry of James
Hare, Texas, about sheep dip, I will say
after an experience of sixteen years
with many kinds of dips, I find none
equal to the lime and sulphur dip. It
is cheaper than any, as effective in cur
ing scab as any, and does no harm what
aver to the fleece, if used shortly after
shearing. Sheep with much wool
should not be dipped in it, as the lime
the staple dry and brittle for a time, and
will tighten the weight of fleece at
.shearing.
The least amount of lime that will
dissolve the sulphur, is the proper pro-
portion. We use here twenty pounds
Of lime to eighty pounds of sulphur,
cooked in 100 gallons of water, for sew
eral hours until the sulphur is dis
solved. The liquid is then a black
green color. One gallon of this mix
ture is diluted with five gallons of water
and used either hot or cold. 1 prefer it
hot. Soak the sheep two minutes in
vat, and dip again in ten days, and q
complete cure should be the result.
Ny experience with Angora goats is,
they are tender and delicate, will not
stand the storms of winter like sheep.
The fleece is very light, one pound be-
ing q fair average of any flock that l
have seen, and in Texas they shed their
hair SO earlyin the spring, that shear
ing must be carried on at a dangerous
time on account OF cold rains, therefore
q barn must be provided for them.
When poor, they get afflicted with lice,
and need to be dipped. They rarely
have more than one kid, and they donot
herd we'll with sheep, as their tastes
differ.

Angoras, they're bu-ti-full things!

vANcE,s WAREHOUSE SCHEME.


The National Farmers Alliance Claims 1t

The senate committee on agriculture and
forestry has just had under consideration
Senator Vance's bill to provide for a sys-

throughout tbs country to be operated by
the government, which is to issue its notes
upon the deposits of grain therein.
Col. Polk, president of the National

formulated by a committee for that pur-
pose by q convention of the National
Farmers alliance and Industrial alliance,
held in st. Louis December 8, 1889.
he sketched the decline in agricul-
tural values Ia the face Of the
marvellous progress and development of
other industries and interests during the
past two decades, and insisted that some
thing should be done for the farmer. He
charged the fault upon the financial system
Of the government, which had resulted in
high prices for money and low prices for
products. He suggested that as q remedy

So far from farmers being Jealous of
each other, and trying to keep their
neighbors from initiating and sharing
their successes, they ought rather to re-
jotce in and encourage this. Often the
combination OF q number Of farmers in
one specially helps to create n market
for 1t. andsnakesi it asuccess, where, il
they grew it alone, it would prove q
failure. 1t 10, therefore, the interest of
farmers to make public their successes,
SO that those In their ~neighborhood may
share in them. All crops have their
especial adaptations to certain locations,
and when these are discovered it is
egerybody's interest that the knowledge
be made as public as possible. There
need be nothing selfish in the farmers
conduct of his business, as the demand
for his products is always larger than
he can supply, and generally increases
in proportion with the amount pro-
duced. Besides, as this business Of
growing and marketing special crops
increases, more is learned about them,
and they can be produced and sold more
cheaply. In this way, each locality is
able to retain q profitable monopoly of
its speciality.

will be clear and white; but if Of a dark

What a Hoste.s want,

A hostess who vents to make her din
ners popular may have them as simple
as she likes, but there are some laws
she must observe as strictly and with as
much fear as were those of the Modes
and Persians.
She must not have tepid oysters;
neither must ice be served about them.
She must not have the napery starched
until the man with q young mustache
kins to his lips, he is risking the de-
struction of the pride of his life.
She must not bake what ought to be
roasted, not serve a fllet until nobody
knows whether it is a rubber shoe or q
piece of oilcloth.
She must not have a servant who is
interested in anything except good serv-
ice. He shouldn't smile if the wit
test man in the world told the funniest
story, nor should he appear interested
If o political secret on which hinged
the future of Ireland was heard by him.
She should count the sweets Of tho
least importance, and not believe that o
bad dinner can be bolstered by n very
much decorated cake or pudding. f.
She should see that her coffee is as
clear as her conscience, and as strong as
her love.
She should not ask anybody whether
they will have cream or not, for people
who go out to dinner should learn
to do without it.
She should not attempt to elaborate
q menu, for she wishes each dish to
reach the height of perfection, and
when the successful dinner is achieved,
she should give the cook a large dose of
encouragement, a medicine pleasant to
take.
The woman who understands the art
of dinner-giving is the women who is
past mistress of the art Of keeping her
husband at home.-NeW York San.
