STICKING A HOG.

hold the head down to the ground by
placing the left hand on the snout.
Now place the point of the knife-a
seven-inch blade is long enough for any
hog-on the animals throat, at tho
same time looking over the carcass,
and push the knife in straight line in
the direction of the root Of the tail, as
shown. Withdraw the knife quickly,
and gushing stream will follow itout.
The idea is to cut the aorta, the
great artery rising from the left ventri-
Gle of the heart. If you do not stick
just rig hit the first one, you will see why
when the hog is opened. A little OBJ.
servation, however, will soon enable
you to become expert.-Prairie Farmer.

WINTER CATTLE FEEDING.
Tho Higher the Feed, the Greater WI
BE the Profit.

The Higher the Feed, the Greater VIII
he the Profit.
We are asked our idea of feeding
cattle this winter" 1t is fact borne
out by the experience of many feeders,
during a number of seasons, that the
higher the feed, the greater proportion
ate profit in cattle feeding. 1t is prob
able that part of this profit is obtained
by more careful, economical feeding
than when grain is plenty and cheap.
It we had cattle in good shape that
would make prime beef we should feed
them this winter and turn them off as
soon as ready for the market, which,
by the way, answers the second ques-
ton asked by the same person: "When
do you think the best time to sell cat
tle?" Fat ones we presume are meant
Sell when ready for market.
Had we poor or Indifferent cattle we
would either sell them now for what
they would bring, or else carry them
through the winter as cheaply as posi-
BILE and have them hold their own or
gain little, then fatten them on grass
and dispose of as soon as ready. 10 do
this first provide them warm quarters,
if the same be made of poles and straw
or wild hay, then feed them hay and
enough grain to keep them in good
heart. If we did not have enough to
do that, we would sell off enough of the
stock to make the grain feed properly
the balance.
If part of our winters roughage con-
sisted of standing corn stalks or range
we should hot,se at night and on stormy
or extra cold days, and feed entirely in
doors on those days. In doing this we
should endeavor to make every pound
of grain fed do it's utmost. Would feed
all grain, either whole or ground, in
tight troughs so that there would lie no
waste by trampling under foot in stable
or in mud out of doors; for this reason
would feed with the stock confined by
stanchions or otherwise.
Every man must weigh his own cir
cumstances, surroundings and capacity,
then use his judgment about the chan
ces for profitable feeding this winter-in
fact he must do that any winter, any
time.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

stitutionS.
When tie proposition to prohibit tho
sale Of alcoholic beverages in the Union
League Club of Brooklyn was under
discussion several of the members ex-
pressed the opinion that q political club
could never be carried on with such q
restriction. - - a.&.3. Ia
If the practice Of those clubs general
~ affords criterion of what their re-
quirements are we presume this is
sound opinion. a very great part of
the receipts of the Union League Club
of this city, for instance, comes from
the sale of wines and liquors on every
day of the week. The bar is one of the
most important features of the house,
and its profits are essential to the main
tenance of the establishment. If it
were closed on Sunday the club would
not only lose considerable revenue but
the members frequenting the house,
and more especially the restaurant,
would be loud in their outcry against
such an abridgment of their privileges.
They are ready enough to advocate the
prohibition of the sale of liquors on
Sunday in outside bars, but they will
not submit to it in club for which they
themselves make the laws. They want
their drinks on Sunday as on other
days.
1t is very doubtful, therefore, wheth-
er the experiment of shutting up the
bar of the Brooklyn Union League Club
on Sunday will be more than tempo
rarily successful, though the vote in its
favor was nearly unanimous. The sort
of men who attend a club with any
thing like regularity are usually those
who have no prejudices against drink
permanent. They also are the members
who are most influential in the affairs
of the association, because they are
most about the house; and even if they
did not have their way the other even
ing, they are sure to have it in the long
run. They would not join a club un-
less they expected to get the privilege
of drinking when they pleased.
The only way to assure the perma-
nent closing of the bar on Sunday is to
shut it up altogether. The result would
be disastrous to the club, probably; but
if the encouragement Of Sunday drink.
ing is reprehensible, it is fully as wrong
to encourage drinking at any other
time. If the provision of alcoholic bev.
erages is discreditable anywhere, it is
more especially culpable in a club com.
posed of men who profess to regard q
Lar-room as disreputable place, dan.
gerous to the welfare of the community.
Proportionately to the number of their
frequenters, too, the club bars make as
many drunl1ards as any others; and
they are likely to continue to do so,
even if they follow the example of the
Union League of Brooklyn in selling
liquor on six days of the week only

and Skins.
The Pacific Steam Whaling Company
has issued peremptory instructions to
all the company's captains not TO call
at Honolulu. Once they leave this port
the whalers are to proceed direct to the
whaling cruise, and are to stop at no
point where stock of liquor could be
laid in. The company has always
been opposed to liquor traffic, but it has
been asserted that every whaler that
went into the Arctic during the past
season was well stocked with rum and
whisky, which they secured at Homo
lulu. The liquor is used for trading
purposes with the Indians, and it is
said that the whalers always fare well
by the bargain. An immense quantity
was taken to the Arctic last year, but,
as the Indians had very little to sell,
there was not much market for the
rum this time As the rum could not
be got rid of in barter, and as the
whalers could not bring it back into
port, it YVES handed over to the In.
dian chiefs, who are to act as agents
for the captains Of whalers and dole the
liquor out to the Esquimaux in ex.
change for bear, fox and deer skins.
In fact, it is estimated that when the
whalers left the Arctic they left five
thousand gallons of the worst spirits
ever distilled to be disposed of in this
manner.-San Francisco Alta.
