FALL PIGS.
Pros and Cons of the Profit and Loss in

Pros and Cons of the Profit and Loss in
Them.
So far as is possible it is desirable to
have the pigs come in September. This
will give them a good opportunity to get
well started to growing before severe
cold weather sets in, and they will thrive
much better during the winter than if
they are farrowed later. But many do
not consider it a profitable plan to breed
for fall pigs. The cost of wintering
them, considering the growth secured, is
too much to make them profitable.
Yet the sows must be kept and win
tered and in many cases where three or
four COWS are kept this is no inconsider-
able item, and only to have one litter of
pigs each year would make considerable
difference in the cost of these, as it is
but fair to count the cost of feeding the
SOW against the pigs up to weaving time.
The n thing necessary to make fall
pigs profitable is to give such manage
ment as is necessary to secure a vigorous,
thrifty growth. If pigs are wintered
and in the spring do not weigh any more
than in the fall previous, they are GER
tainly not profitable. Whether pigs are
farrowed in the spring or fall, nine
months is as old as pigs that are to be
marketed should stay on the farm. If
they are fed well and made comfortable
they ought to be ready for market at
this age.
AS with much other work on the farm
if the best results are secured some man.
agement ahead must be given. The
starting point is to breed sufficiently
early SO that a good growth can be Sc
cured. Pigs ought to learn to eat well
before cold weather sets in, they are less
liable to be stunted than if they must be
weaned and learned to eat later when
the weather is cold. Another item of
Importance in wintering pigs economic
ally is to provide them comfortable quar-
tiers and this can be done in advance. IF
they are narrowed sufficiently early in
the fall and are provided with comfort
able quarters they can be kept growing
steadily and at a cost that will leave a
fair per cent of profit. But if the hogs
are to be left to look out for themselves
during the winter the best plan is not
to breed for fall pigs.-Nebraska State
Journal.

Some Good Distance Riding.

General Merritt, in 1879, rode with a bat
talon of the Fifth cavalry to the relief of
Payne, and covered ITO miles from II a. M,
Oct. 3, to $50 p. m, Oct. 5-two days and
six hours-accompanied by a battalion of
infantry in wagons, which much retarded
the march. He arrived on the scene in
good order and ready for the fight. Single
couriers had ridden in over the same dis
lance from Thornburg's command during
the previous two or three days in less than
twenty-four hours. Captain F. S. Dodge
marched his command on the same occa-
sion eighty miles in sixteen hours. Lieu
tenant Wood, of the Fourth cavalry,
marched his troop seventy miles in twelve
hours-6 a. m. to 6 p. m.-and came in
fresh, and double that distance has been
made from 10 q. m. till 5 p. m. next day.
In 1870 o men of Company II, First
cavalry, bore dispatches from Fort Harvey
to Fort Warner, $40 miles over a bad road
twenty of it Sandwich little and bad
water, in twenty-five hours, eighteen and
a half of which actual marching time.
The horses were in such good condition at
the end of the ride that after one days
rest the men started back, and made the
home trip at the rate of sixty miles II day.
In 1880, Lieutenant Robertson, First caval-
ry rode from Fort Lapwai to Fort Walla
Walla, 102 miles, over the snow, deep in
places, in twenty-three and a half hours;
and starting next morning, rode back in
two days.
These are but a few out of scores of equal
performances. The keen appreciation of
pace and of the ability of the animals rid
den in such feats is marked. Men who
can do work like this and come in fresh
must be consummate observation-disclosures

Points of Interest.

A century ago this year Of grace, 1891,
the breeding of Shorthorn cattle began
in America. They were improved 80
much for a time that they seemed to
reach a climax, like nations, and then to
go down hill. They were bred for years
too much for mere size and fat. This
must at length deteriorate any breed of
animals, and these fine cattle went out
Of fashion for the time. Now, however,
we have a Shorthorn revival in America
which promises great results anew.
A case is reported in which a colt was
cured Of a bad attack of scours by ad-
ministering to it every four hours a tea
spoonful Of elixir of lactopeptin in half
a pint of sweet milk. When the treat
ment began the animal was so weak it
could not stand, but in three days it was
well. The same stockman tried the
lactopeptin cure next on some young
pigs with the scours, and it worked like
magic. He gave the pigs each one-quar-
ter of a ~teaspoonful three times a day.
Hides preserved in arsenic have been
decided By the treasury department to
be already d~isinfected, no matter whence
they come. They can, therefore, be adj
mitted directly into this country with.
out any certificate of ~disinfection.
For splintin a horses leg try firing the
spot and then blistering it with a mix
ture made of seven parts lard to one part
biniodide of mercury.
Change your pigpens from place to
place. If you can put them over a par
ticularly poor spot of ground, in a season
or two it will become Of the most
fertile places on your farm.

City Council.

lcIom WeuQe6uAy6 DAuy.J
The main feature Of the council meet
ing last night was the question of allow
ing the bills of the Bismarck Water
company. There are two funds on which
these bills a be allowed-the general
fund and the water fund. The general
fund has no available cash, while the
water fund has a surplus. However,
there is a contract between the city and
the water company. The water COM
pany is. naturally in favor of
having the bills allowed on the water
fund, while some of the council think the
general fund the proper one. The mat
ter was finally referred to Attorney
Louis Hanitch for legal opinion. When
the council adjourned it was to meet
Tuesday night when the opinion is to be
filed. The council also authorized the
building of a sidewalk near Mr.. Kupitz's
residence in the southeastern part of the
city and the clerk was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids accordingly.
The question of salary for chief
Of police was also discussed, but
no action was taken. Alderman De-
Graft thought the chief Of police should
receive $75 per month, and the question

Gospel on Wheels.

The chapel car "Evangel,.. arrived
about noon. At 4 o'clock in the after
noon a service was held by Mr.. Boston
W. Smith, known as "Uncle Boston, in
Minnesota, for the special benefit of boys
and girls. The story of "John 8: &c."
the street waif, was told with such
pathos, that all were moved with deep
emotion. Uncle Boston found his way
to the hearts of his young friends, and
was gladly adopted by them as. their
uncle. Christ was made very real to
them and sin was shown to be that
which makes the heart morally and
spiritually black. Mr. Smith has a win
some manner, and a pleasant voice.
In the evening the car was crowded
with adults. Revs. Ryan and Kline Of
fered prayer. Several sweet songs were
sung. Mrs. Kline, the Baptist pastors
wife, presided at the organ. MI. Smith
then explained how the car would be
used in Sunday school and other n
listic work. He gave some exceedingly
interesting instances Of the value Of such
efforts. His own experiences have con-
vinced him that very much of such work
is needed. His remarks charmed all
who heard them, and were stimulating.
Christians stepped out of the car with a
renewed desire to seek to win the un-
saved to Christ. Mr.. Boston leaves with
the car by the No. l train to.day for
Dickinson.

Worlds Fair Notes,

Thirty acres in the northern portion
Of jackson park have been reserved for
sites for the state buildings. The ground
has already been apportioned among
the states, consideration being had for
the size and Importance of each and the
amount it will probably expend upon its
building and collective exhibit. The
entire space will be artistically divided
by beautiful walks and driveways.
A herd Of eighty-fve buffalo will be
exhibited at the fair.
An enterprising Nebraska man says
that he will take to the exposition a crowd
of $4,000 school children. from Omaha
and vicinity. He proposes to have each
car load in charge of a teacher, and he
has already begun negotiations with the
railroads for special rates and special
trains.
It is next to certain that the exposition
will be open evenings, in all of it's de-
partments. The directory has called
for plans and estimates for lighting, by
electricity, all Of the buildings. It is
proposed to blight both the buildings and
grounds SO brilliantly that everything can
be seen at night as we'll as by day, and
it is expected that the scene at night
will de one of marvellous brilliancy.

Poor Crops in Washington,

The Spokane Daily Chronicle in a
recent issue published the following
which s~ubstantiates the reports of travel
ing men that Washington is now enter
ing the era that usually follows a doomed
country. The Chronicle says: The
farmers do not, as a general thing, re-
port crops as good as was anticipated
some time ago. A short talk with
several Of the ranchers who came in from
Deep Creek and vicinity to-day in re-
gard to the crop prospect in that section
did not give encouragement for a he avy
yield in any n product. The cause is
attributed to the late frosts and the con-
tinuous cold nights, the drought in the
early part of the season and the ravages
Of the squirrels, which have been worse
this season than usual.
Mr.. N. Smith, a substantial farmer liv-
ing within two miles of Deep Creek Falls,
says that his crop Of grain has been
seriously damaged by the squirrels,
"AASAAs UOBCUAOl WILL Guo Cuu0 lEOSLS,
cold nights and dry weather, will make
his yield very much below last years.
"The ground became 80 dry" said
Mr.. Smith, ''in the early part of the
season hat the rains which we have
had all along since have failed to
thoroughly wet the earth. The moist
ture did not go deep enough to produce
the most good. I find, however, that
my potato crop is just about an average,
while in some places it is not so good.
I have been over the country almost to-
Davenport, and I find the crops in some
localities very much better than in
others, but none of them will hardly be
above an average.
Mr.. Peter Carson, who owns and
farms a large ranch in Crescent Park
could not give quite so favorable a re-
port of the crops as Mr.. Smith. He said
the frost and squirrels had rendered
forty acres of his wheat worthless, and
that the yield on the rest of his grain
would be very small.

One Girls Story of Why She Prefers the

"IIiIsre, Cash No. ~ The writer had
nst entered one of the large dry goods
tores of Boston during the holiday sales,
when he heard the above cry, and turning
10 look at the speaker, young lady of 10
years, the recognition was mutual Less
than year before she was sewing in a
wooden mill in one of the many mill towns
of New England, in which the writer had
been employed. She was a good sewer and
was paid s1.25 per day, and although she
was an orphan she had good home, and
paid but $50 per week for board, which
left her s. every week clear
Now the question came to nv mind,
How came she here And having a desire
to hear her story, and there being no chance
to hold long conversation with her at
that time, she made a date with me for the
next afternoon, which was Sunday, to call
at the house where she was rooming. |

she introduced to me rs her ''chums''
After conversing for some time upon diff

found her working here in a store in Bos-
ton, or if she liked it, and if she got more
pay than she got in the mill She told me
the following story, and l have no doubt
that 1t is the story of hundreds of store
girls IN all the large cities. She had visited
the city short time after had left the
mill, and while in one of the large stores
she got the idea she would like 20 be sales
lady, the work seemed to he so easy and
they all dressed SO nice

she could stand ii no longer So she left
Der position in the mill, left her nice home,
and came into the city. She applied for a

little money saved, and had enough of c.o,.l-

rather than go back TO the mill
To the question of which was ne harder
work, the mill or the store, her answer left
no doubt in my mind which was the harder.
In the mill she was treated respectfully.

she did not so back TO the mill, she said she
could not, she had got so used to the city
that the quiet life of the mill would not do
for her now, but she wished that she had
remained in the mill, where she was happy,
instead of coming TO the city, and her ad-
