Feeding for Lean Pork.

/ by having proper proportion OF
protein in the ration, says Professor
Henry, and giving ample food, the mus
cles Will then be developed to their
normal size, and the pig will be a
healthy preventative of its kind, with
plenty of red lean meat in its carcass.
If the animal is fed on such ration il
Will grow to good size, and if slaugh-
tered before it has arrived at a worry
heavy weight there will be found a
goodly proportion of lean to fat in the
carcass. After the animal has reached
mat urity, as to size, l believe that any
feed that We may give will be utilized
almost altogether in the direction of
/ increasing the fat in the body. In other
words, if We feed well -grown but not
fat hog long enough, even upon pro-
tein, he will become fat hog, with
little or no more red meat than at the
beginning of the final feeding period.
To have meat with Il goodly proport ION
of lean in it We must begin with the pig
and give plenty of protein during the
growing period, so that the muscles
shall have their full natural develop
ment. This accomplished, we can put
him on the final feeding period, sup
plying tie cheaper, more abundant
carb- hydrates, as Indian corn and bar
ley, to finish off with, closing the period
before there is too large proportion Of
fat to lean.
\ Patent Tree Destroyer
3. W. Nesey, of ldalia, Mo-, sends the
following clipping from an agricultural
paper, and asks our opinion of the
patent tree destroyer therein described:
An invention Is said to have been
patented IN New Zealand and in other
colonies. which, If 1t does all that is
claimed for it, will revolutionize the
settlement of timber lands. 1t is a com
position, which when trees are
lnoculated with it, mingles itself
with the sap and circulates
through every branch and leaf,
utterly destroying the life and render
ing the standing tree IN three months
time dead and rotten, and SO highly in
tiammable that W hen fired it burns away
literally root and branch, for the fire
cfceps down the roots into the ground
consuming them so thoroughly that the
land can be plowed afterwards. 1t is
available also for old stumps, doing in
a month what nature takes years to ac-
compli5h. The process Of incubation
is simple. 1t is the boring of a hole
about six inches into the tree with an
inch au1lr filling with composition
and afterwards plugging with cork,
tough clay or other suitable substances.
1t Is also very inexpensive, costing only
a few cents even for a large tree"
This IS undoubtedly simon pure
humbu@, wholly unworthy of serious
INVESTIGATION. 1t bears internal evidence
of its humbug character lnthe statement
that, through the process of circulation,
a live, green tree may be so inoculated
with II composition that it Will die and
become so highly iniiammabIe within a
few months that it may be fired and
burned up root and branch. It's yarn.

Mr.. L. II. Strykie of Australia, while
at the Leland hotel, said the people of
that continent are in need of metal fur
niture. He has been to England to Sc
cure school desks and seats of light metal
which will he durable and cheap, but
neither in England NORM Americahas he
been able to get what lie wants. He says
the pest of Queensland is the white ant,
against the ravages of which sheet iron
roofing and tin covered chairs are the
only protection thus far devised. The
ants eat wood of every description, Dor
ing the doors and house rafters until
they are honeycombed, tables, bedsteads
and bureaus suffering similarly. Mr..
Strykie thinks a metal furniture factory
which could supply these things at q
price permitting them to be shipped
long distances would have large trade
on the Australian continent. Chicago

The lord OF Soma was a very angry
man, but, though he might rage and VOW
vengeance upon the heads of his tenants
he had to obey the orders of his chief
And thus relief came at last to the lone
suffering peasants.
But, alas for poor Sogoro, the irreve-
cable law of the nation pronosnced his
oifense deserving of death, and he was
turned over to his legal lord for execu-
ton. In feudal Japan the nobility held
the power OF life and death over their
peasant yassals, and now the cruel Kot-
suke-no-Suke, thirsting for vengeance,
determined to destroy the whole family
OF Sogoro. In vain his tenants, his samu-
RAJ, his councillors, and even the princes
OF the surrounding country besought
the lord of Soma to be merciful. the
bloody tyrant was memorable. Sogoro
ana his wife were condemned to be cruel
he'd, and their three sons, aged Z, 10 and
IL respectively, were ordered to be be-
headed in the presence of their parents
On the day of the execution all the in.
habitants of the 1876 villages Of Soma
assembled to bid Sogoro and his wife
farewell and to encourage them with
their presence and prayers. There was
not one there, even to the executioners
themselves, that did not call down the
blessing of heaven upou the martyrs.
while curses, deep and bitter. were
hurled against the hated Kotsuke-no-
SIflTa A ftat. ha l. e
to the crosses the three boys were led
forth and beheaded in their sight. Friends
received the bodies aud bore them away
to prepare them for burial. o Man, So
goros wife, turning to her husband, said
in a cheerful voice:
Remember, my husband, that from
the first you had made up your mind to
this fate. What though our bodies be
disgracefully exposed on these crosses,
we have the promises of the gods before
us; therefore, mourn not. Let us fix our
minds upon death; we are drawing near
To paradise and shall soon be with the
saints. Let us cheerfully lay down our
lives for the good of our people,"
well said, wife," responded Sogoro,
gayly. Il am happy because l have at
tanned my hearts desire. Our petition
was successful; had | 500 lives, and
could 900 times assume this shape of
mine, would die 500 times to redress
the wrongs of our people,
Then the executioner, taking his spear,
thrust it into the side Of o Man and into
the side of her husband, and both died
there in the sight of tine sorrowing peas
ants. And Kotsuke-no-Suke's chief coun-
cilor, when all was over, came and knelt
down before the dead body of the farmer
and said:
although you were but a peasant you
saved your brethren. You bruised your
bones and crushed your heart for their
sakes. Honors shall yet be paid to your
spirit, and you shall be canonized as a
saint; you shall become a tutelar deity
among the people of Soma"
And SO it came To pass. The farmers
of Soma made the grave of Sogoro place
of prayer, aud gradually came to look
upon him as divine. Finally, a temple
arose in his honor, and he was at length
duly canonized as Buddhist saint.-W.

A Remarkable Duel Between Two french-
men Who Were Rivals In Love.

A Remarkable Duel Between Two French
men who Were Rivals in Lave.
A Partisan duel. which occasioned
great sensation at the time OF ITS occur

and Alphonso Riyiere, the cause being
the success of the former In wooing

rival by slappng hiH on the cheek, and
il was agreed that duel should take
place in which the life of one should be
ended.
The details were left TO their seconds

other upon the field neither of the young
men knew in what form they were to

four men met in quiet wood. They
were Riviere, with Monsieur Savalle, his
second. Delagrave, who was accom-

The great Russian Traveller, Prezeval-
sky has discovered new wild horse.
more nearly allied To the domestic hors.
than any previously known species. Pre-
zevalsky, on his return from Central
Asia brought with him one of these new
species. The horse is described az l,av-
ing warts on his hind legs as well AS on
its fore legs, and has hard hoofs like the
true horse. But the long hairs of the
tail, instead of commencing at the base,
do not begin until about half way down.

TIE TIE STATE OF SoU2Il CAROLINA,
County OF SOCoNEE.
To His Honor James Aldrich,
Judge Presiding in the 9th judicial
Circuit, February torn, 1890,
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to
make the following our presentment
for the information of the Court at
the present term ::
AS the present law makes it the
duty of our foreman to be present
at the settlement of the County
Treasurer with the County Auditor,
we have deferred making an exam
nation of the reports of the County
and School Commissioners until
after the said settlement, when our
foreman will have such information
that will enable us to better under
stand said reports.
We have by the committee Of
our body visited the Jail and find
the Jail in good condition and we'll
kept and the prisoners we'll cared
for. We find that the fire c-places
and heaters ought to be repaired,
and that the County Commissioners
have said repairs under adviscment
and will have the same done. We
find that by a neglect of the Sheriff
two prisoners have made an escape
from the jail since our last term of
Court, but we recommend that he
be excused for the same, but that he
be more careful in the future.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners buy nice and dura-
bic set OF furniture for our Court
House, and that they require the
Clerk of the Court to take strict
care of the same, and that tho Clerk
do not hereafter let the Court House
for any purpose, except to general
public purposes.
We have by committee visited
the poor house and farm and find
it in good condition, the paupcrs well
cared for and the farm in good con-
dition and the Steward is doing a
good work there.
We find that generally the roads
of the county arc iii tolerably good
condition, but there are some places
in need Of immediate attention, and
as the usual time for work is at hand,
we presume the matters will receive
proper attention from the proper
officers.
We hereby tender to His Honor
James Aldrich and the Solicitor our
thanks for their kind assistance and
courtesy extended to us during the
term. w. a. LowERY,
Foreman.
