HOW TO MAKE PIGS PAY.

Swine may be made the most profit
able of farm stock. Their productive
ness is amazing if counted up for a few
years. A SOW we'll cared for will pro-
duce two filters of from seven to ten
pigs each every year, and what the total
number would be at the end of five years,
allowing one-half of the pigs to be sows,
we>Ieave for some of our young friends
who have mathematical faculties to cal
culate and inform us for the benefit of
other readers. These pigs-say, sixteen
for the two litters-may easily be made
to weigh 200 pounds each when year
old, so that one SOW will yield her owner
5000 pounds of pork every year for five
Or six years, equal to from 10, 900 to co.
600 pounds of pork for her contribution
during her useful life. But it is very
rarely that the pigs are ever looked upon
as worthy of much careful regard. They
are more commonly treated as the weeds
of the farm stock, prolific, growing
without care and in spite Of neglect. It
would not be advisable to increase their
number, but it is advisable to increase
their value, by lessening the number and
improving the keeping of them. Ten
pigs of 100 pounds each are much less
profitable than five of 200 pounds each,
and one well kept SOW is worth more
than twice as much as two i'll kept ones
which produce each one litter in the
year. To reduce the store stock one
half and treat these twice as we'll would
treble the profit from the years in
creases.

getting ahead. The greatest trouble has
been through buying and breeding cows
(which produce the greatest number OF
pounds of milk without any regard what
ever to the quality. Between the cows
giving thin milk and the patrons who
skim or water, dairymen producing good
milk and factorymen have hard time
of it. Factorymen have come to realize
that their best friends among the patrons
have been the poorest paid. Going from
bad to worse, matters have come to a
point where, unless some more equitable
system is adopted, We must expect the
factory system to drag out miserable
existence, if it is not driven to the wan.
Is it any wonder, then, that intelligent
factorymen have come TO the conclusion
that milk must be paid for on merit onlyi

A VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
IN orge klsia Kicked in the FACE bx
vicious Horse in Tindali,s

IN orge Klein Kicked in the FACE by
Vicious Horse in Tiuda,,s
Barn
george Klein, who is employed as fore>
man at Tindalts livery stable on Third
avenue, met with very painful, if not a
very serious accident at 7;30 last evening.
he had been attending to the unharness-
ing of horse in one Ct the stalls in the
barn. and while talking to some one at
the other end of the barn. he stepped out
OF the stall snd just back of the horse.
when suddenly he received vicious
kick in the face, which rendered him IN.
conscious. He was picked up and
placed on bed in the office, where he
was attended by Drs Eyster and
Garter and his injuries being
found very serious, Mr.. Tindall
had him conveyed to the Rock Island
house where be could receive proper at.
tentlon. The examination by the physi-
clans showed that the mans right eve
had been displaced. being forced inwardly
and in downward course in such man
ner as to leave it resting partly on the
cheek bone. The bridge of the nose was
broken and forced aside until it all
most rested in the socket of the eye The
frontal bone was also fractured which
necessitated its removal by the physicians,
and the unfortunate sufferer had sus-
tanned some bad bruises about the shout
der. Naturally he experienced consid-
cradle pain during the night, but tn
morning was resting quietly and it is
hoped that his i iuries will not result as
seriously as was at first supposed.
General sympathy is being expressed
all about town for Mr. Klein in his mis-
fortune, for he was particularly obliging
and pleasant in disposition. and is well
liked by all who knew him. His em.
ployer, Mr.. Tindall, speaks in highest
regard of him and his work
