Raising Pigs in Winter.
From the Argus and Patriot.

L EOA1 Tue ana 1dtflOI.
There is no trouble is raising pigs in
winter time at moderate profit, even
when porkis as low as at present.
Three things are essential moderately
warm place, plenty of dry bedding, and
frequent suitable feeding.
The writer has made pork in winter at
four and half cents pound, buying the
pigs and all their food. and had a rich
manure pile to pay for the little time given
to them, besides the profit on the pork. If
their feet Me in snow or ice or half
frozen mud ana manure, they will not
gain fast. They must be comfortable.
They must be fed so that they will lie
down and keep quiet.
A good ration for young pigs is equal
parts of weight Of wheat bran, middIings
and linseed meal (uot cotton-seed meal).
Where linseed meal carrot be had, it may
be omitted. This should be thoroughly
mixed and scalded They will thrive on
this without milk. If skim milk can be
added, so much the better. When they
weigh forty pounds corn meal may be
added to the ration. 1t will pay to feed
them five times day for four months or
even longer, giving them all they will
eat up clean ana no more. The bran may
be reduced as they get size, but it pays
to give some bran as long as they live.
Corn meal should be the main part Of
the food after they get up to $50 pounds,
and the farmer should raise it on his own
farm.
It will pay to scaId the food every day
| am certain that they gain faster. 1t is
a good way to mix the food with boiling
water. cover it up tight and let it stand,
but feed it warm. When they get large
and fat two or three ears Of hard corn
after they have had a good supper
vii! be relished and will digest before
morning.
Fine-boned. thrifty pigs are best, and
when they weigh 200 to $50 pounds they
should be marketed.

Calf Feeding.

The latter half of the milk drawn from
the cow at each milking contains from
twothirds to three -fourths of the entire
amount of the cream. If feeding calves,
put the milk first drawn in vessel by
itself and save for their use, reserving the
rest for the dairy. The calves may thus
have the advantage of fresh warm milk
while the cost of raising them will be
materially lessened and their feeding will
not be such Wholesale drain upon the
dairy.

Mutton and Pork,

The farmer who is feeding for pork
counts his gain on average hogs at one
pounds of corn given. The experiments
Of the Royal agricultural society of Fog.
land showed that sheep would gain a
pound in live weight on four and half
pounds of linseed meal and peas mixed.
But at the same time the S 'eep would con-
sumo about eighteen pounds of clover hay
giles. Thus the entire ration that pro-
duced pound of English mutton would
not cost as much as the ration producing a
this-and perhaps the principal one-is
that the ration given to the sheep is diver
siied, while that given to tie hog is moth
ing but corn.

WINDOWS WISDOM.

Economic Gems Dropped by the Dead
Treasurer
By the tariff act of 1884 an additional dis
eliminating Guty of 10 per cent. was levied
on all goods imported in vessels not OF the
United States. And in all changes Of the
tariff prior to the war of 1912 this discrim
mating duty of 10 per cent. was re-enact
ed. So great was the development of our
shipbuilding and shipping interests under
the fostering influences of these acts that
we sold ships amounting to hundreds of
thousands Of tons to foreigners and soon
took front rank among maritime nations.

No nation has ever fostered more Iiber-
ally or projected more carefully its inter
nal and coastwise trade than we have
done, and the resultant magnitude and
prosperity of our domestic commerce is,
/ believe, without parallel in the history
Of the world. For the accommodation and
development of our home trade, we have
built IS per cent. of all the railroads of
the world. We have more miles of rail
road than all Europe, Asia and Africa
combined. The floating tonnage of the
United States engaged in coastwise COM
merce, and on our lakes and rivers is
very far iii excess of that of any other

Presidents of the United States have re-
peatilly express ed the national humiliation
and Appealed TO congress in behalf of our
rapidIy-vanishing merchant marine, but
thus far their words have fallen upon deaf
ears. Letus hope that the urgent appeals
of President Harrison on this subject may
bear fruit in some well-devised measure Of
protection anil encouragement. The
American people ask no odds against any
IN the world Give them an even chance
and they will distance all competition, but
how can they be expected to compete un-
aided against foreign shipyards and ship
owners, backed by the power and the
treasures of their governments? The
amount that has been thus contributed to
sweep our commerce from the seas cannot
be accurately sta ed, but it is known to
have reached hundreds of millions of dol
lars.

Decoration Day Exercises.


The beautiful National exercises Of Jecorat-
ing the dead heroes graves, was appropriately
observed in Hope. A fairly large concourse
assembled in frost of the G. A. r. Hall at
lO:3O O'Clock a. m., which headed by the
Hope Cornet Band and the Geo. P Foster
post proceeded to the cemetery, and with the
beautiful ritual OF the post in comme,noratOn
OF the day, the graves were strewn with gar
lands of flowers, as a token of the love,
honor and esteer in which tho fallen hoeres
were held in the memories of all patriotic
citizens Of the land they died to save.
In the afternoon large crowd assembled
at the Congregational church, where appro-
pirate memorial exercises were the order. A
quartette composed Of Mrs. C. j. Paul, Mrs.
G. V. Russ and Messrs. jacobson and Ise,nn-
ger, assisted by Mrs. G. G. Merriell as organ
ist, furnished appropriate music, Mrs. F. N.
Gilmore also rendered Il very pretty aud ap-
! propriate solo durDg the exercises. Very able
addresses were listened to from Revs. S. B.
Mahaney and N. L. Stimson, together with
volunteer speeches from several of the memb-
ers of the post and this constituted the pro-
gram of the day.
1t is very fitting that such occasions should
be observed with all the fervor and zeal that
becomes them, and that love Of such a
beautiful cememony may be instilled in the
hearts Of the rising generation, that when the
last roll call is sounded for tho brave boys
who still remain with us, and they are called
to join the silent majority whose graves we
now decorate, they will consider it sacred
duty entrusted to them to do the same honor
over the graves Of those who now, on the 9Oth
Of May of each succeeding year, do honor ia
their fallen comrades.

Such is the name of an ancient Jewish coin
of certain character, Of which it is said there
are but two in existence. 1t is over rare on
account Of its antiquity. Judging from the
Hebrew characters upon either side, its origin
is presumed to date back to the days Of King
Solomon, and ii is valued by connoisseurs In
that line at thousands Of dollars, while It's in
trlnsic value is comparatively nothing. Many
large collections can be found of coinsof gari-
