CHINESE PIRATES.

Their Murderous Attacks ON ships in Chi
mesh Waters.
That portion Of the China sea lying
between the Sunda Archipelago and the
city of Shanghai is a region of coast
trade which is carried on mainly by
native junks. Two evils menace foreign
sailing vessels in these waters, the ty-
phoon and the pirate. And in no quar-
ter of the globe Isl the passage for sail
ing vessels mord beset with dangers.
The prevailing winds are from the coast
and the pirates Have the advantage in
making an attack, and in case they are
defeated, being well acquainted with
the waters, find safe hiding places
whittier large VESSELS dare not pursue
them. The methods of attack of the
pirates are varied. Often an entire
band of marauddrs will ship as passen-
gers and seizin4 favorable opportu-
nity make Themselves masters of the
shin. When they make attacks from
the shore in theiI junks upon merchant
ships, they use q sort Of hand grenade

The late Gen. Spinner was the SON of

prevent him from Expressing his views
in forcible English at times In March,
1861, Just after Salmon P. Chase had
been made secretary of the treasury by
President lincoln, Gen. Spinner was
selected as dIStates treasurer. He
had during his liff as member of the
lower house of congress been an ardent
abolitionist, and had made himself par
t.cularly obnoxious to the southern
Pro-slavery element As soon as his
commission was handed to him he went
to the courthouse and approached
Judge Merrick, who was then on the
bench as associate Judge of the United
States circuit couFt for the District Of
Columbia. 81 hate come to take the
oath OF Office said Mr.. Spinner, land

the Judge was OPPOSED to his views al
an abolitionist, and that he would havf
nothing to do with him.
"Does not congfess, as part of your
duty, prescribe thht you shall adminif

pointees?" inquired Mr.. Spinner.
s'Yes," said MeFrick, but congress
can not compel rhe to administer the
oath or to have Anything to do with a
man as personally distasteful as you
are"
Congress may bot be able to force
Won to administrative oath to me-" said
Spinner, shut there is one thing it can
do. 1t can abolish your - old court,
and will see that it is done" He found
another official competent to administer
the oath, and who IA he had spare time
he went up to the capitol and got
friend of his to introduce bill to abol-
ish the circuit court for the District of

court of the District of Columbia This

dent, and Judge Merrick was thereby

PERMANENT PASTURE.

Practical Points CoIlated from the Ex-
perience OF Dairymen.
At late meeting of the Illinois
dairymen's association one speaker
said he prefers sowing all kinds of
grass seed excepting clover, early in
the fall, and that, as every square inch
of ground is capable of containing
seven grass plants, he uses As to SO
pounds of seed to the acre; or-as some
seed weighs but pounds to the bushel
from 2 to s bushels of seeds For
permanent pasture mixture of vari
cites is necessary, so that animals
may always find some fresh growth,
but fo- moving ground it is best that
all ripen at the same time. He gives
orchard grass the trad. both for pasture
and meadow, as yielding most with
least drain on the soil, and least liabil-
ity to die out. 1t is social grass, doing
better in company with clover and other
grasses than alone. He has had twelve
years experience with meadow seeded
in early fall with 90 pounds orchard
grass, of meadow fescue and of oat-
grass, following these "a pounds with
4 of red clover or 2of alsilxe, to be sown
in the spring. All these mature at
about the same time. For permanent
pasture ground his preference is for 90
pounds orchard grass, of blue (green)
grass, of meadow foxtail, 3 of meadow
fescue. 2 of rough-stalked meadow, s Of
timothy, Q of fall oat grass, 2 of alsike
clover, of red clover and of crested
dogstail, making in all Al pounds to the
acre. An important point brought out
by the American Dairyman counts
against the policy of soiling, although
seldom taken into consideration. Grass
grown in the shade. either of its own
blades or of trees or bushes, is never
eaten by animals except under pressure
of starvation, and cannot be supposed
to have much nutritive quality or to in
crease the yield of milk or flesh. Every
one who has occasion to notice pasture
ground has seen the short, sweet. nutri-
tious grass growing in the full light
eaten down constantly and patiently to
the very dust, while close alongside
whole mouthfuls might be taken at .
bite Of long blades looking as If good,
but utterly rejected by the instinct of
the grazing beasts. A large part of the
heavy growth moved and carried in for
soiling must often be of this unsavory
character.-W. G. Warning. in N. Y

SPRING FATTENlNc.
Keep Hogs So That Short Feed VIII Fat
ten in = Few Weeks.

Keep Hogs So That Short Feed VIII Fat
ten in = Few Weeks.
There are two seasons that may be
considered the best for fattening hogs
One is in the fall, as the weather be-
gins to turn cooler and new corn begins
to ripen sufficiently to feed, and the
other is in the spring, after the weather
becomes somewhat settled and grass or
clover has made enough growth to fur
nish good supply of feed. In order to
get the best results at either of these
times it is necessary that the pigs be in
a good thrifty condition.
In many cases there is a failure to Sc
cure the best results at these times for
the reason that the animals must needs
make up for what has been lost during
the summer.
All feeders recognize the fact that the
cold weather of winter and the heat of
summer are the two most unfavorable
seasons to fatten hogs. With care in
feeding and making comfortable,
steady gain may be kept up, but usual
ly it is not a good plan TO fatten at
these times. But it is great a1van-
tage to keep them in good condition
during the season in order to reap the
full benefit of the more favorable sea-
sons to fatten. While hogs will fatten
the faster if confined in a close pen,
there is an increased risk of loss from
disease, SO that, taking health into con-
sideration, the better plan is to allow
them the range of good pasture.
Clover is better than grass for hogs,
although with good feed in addition a
very satisfactory growth can readily be
secured on grass. Corn with clover
makes a very satisfactory ration for
fattening in the spring. In many cases,
however, it will be good plan to add
a small quantity Of oil meal and wheat
middlings. This adds to the variety
and will be beneficial in this respect,
and when corn is high. as it is in many
localities now. a ration of this kind
will lessen the cost. Health and thrift
are necessary essentials in securing the
the best gain at the lowest cost. and
plenty of green food after a long feed
ing of dry grain with variety of grain
win make thrifty growth.
Hogs ought to be kept SO that short
feed will fatten in short time. Gen.
orally hogs that are ready to market a
little early-that is, little early in the
spring and little early in the fall
usually bring the best prices, and SO it
will often be an advantage to push
them little. A pig narrowed in Sep
TENDER can, by keeping it in good con-
dition during the winter and then
pushing after grass or clover gets
good start, be made ready for market
by the middle of May. at least, and viii
return better profit than if fed on
until August or September.-St. Loui
Republic.
