The greater thriftiness of pigs from q SOW that has borne one, two or three previous filters is partly due doubtless to the greater amount of milk she gives. There is probably as much proportional difference here as betw,ep mature COW and a heifer with her fJst calf. Besides, in the young SOW the milk is not so rich, as part of what should go to make it is kept for growth of tho mother. It is possible to keep sows too long, but this is more frequently from their learning bad habits, becoming unruly or eating their young, than from failure to give full messes of milk, or to produce good filters of thrifty young. and sometimes even farrow more than thsy have teats, in which case it is economy to kill the weddings in excess.

The golden wedding of s. N. Fisk ard wife, 6 highly respected couple, was TO. gently observed at their home in Brain. tree, Mass.

There was the slme carpet on the floor and the same paper on the wall as when the orig lnal wedding took place.--Springfeid Republican. -,.. ..'-. -.....

Best Way to Raise Hens.

Grasp them firmly with the right hand under both wings, and lift them gently.
 l have tried prying them up with a board, but they seem inclined to resent it more, and it is apt to cause great
 disturbance among the rest of the flock; then, too, you never know which way a hen is going to point, and she always starts so suddenly that if your footing is not secure you might get hurt. So, on the whole, think the former way is prefer able. Poultry Journal. -'

SecretnrY Rnsk's Renort.

Secretary Rusk's report says that wheat growing in the United States, ex- cept for home consumption, does not pay. The worlds market is too limited and too easily glutted by the agricul- ture of more primitive wheat grow ing countries now entering into compe- tition. He finds that while fruit grow CTS in California are paying their debts and making money, grain growers are not getting ahead and settlement does not progress in grain growing counties.

Keep Dairy Untensils Clean,

Strong, ill-tasting and stinking butter is generally caused by uncleanliness of pails, churns, and milk spilled on the floor, nearness of pig stys, COW yards, or filth of any kind. Milk is an absorbent of gases, is easily tainted and when it is tainted good butter cannot be made. Thorough cleanliness should be the first care of every dairyman.

Boston. on ''rhe Attitude of the Cath
Ollie Church Toward the Negro"
Among the guests of the Rev. Father
do Ruyter wero Mayor Austin Harring-
ton, II. Fl. Ward, William Michael
Byrne and others. Bishop Curtis pre-
sided and introduced tho speaker,
Mr. Ruliin opened his lecture by re-
ferring to the condition OF the colored
race previous to the rebellion, and
said that up TO the time of the emanci-
patton the Catholic Church had made
very little progress among them. As
soon as emancipation was declared,
the Catholic Church was the first to
come forward to care for tho negro. 1t
had always maintained that slavery
was wrong, and eXerted its best efforts
to prevent the traffic, consequently it
had proved itsalf the greatest friend Of
the colored race
About 500 persons were present, and
the lecture was interesting and enter

Oriental firm of Boston, the Schultz
Company OF New York, and the Ameri,
can Wood Powder Manufacturing
Company of New York, are the lead,
ing gunpowder establishments of the
East. Heretofore they have been in
aotlve competition.
The manufacturers Will, when the
Trust Is in operation, deal differently

At present the stock kept on hand in
the magazines is owned by tho manu-.

poses to compel the dealers to pur.
chase say 1000 kegs at once, and thus
invest their own money in the stock
from which they supply their custom
