HOW THE WISE MAN FIXES HIS TROUGH.
The following pertinent advice is given
in Farm Journal, authority for the fore
going:
Plant out big LOT Of early sweet corn
to feed the pigs this summer. Look out
for the seed now. Where the most is
said and done for pigs there the pigs pay
the best. The more you think of your
pigs the more they will think of you.
Begin now to feed the brood SOW, 80 she
will not be crazy when the little pigs are
born. Give her plenty of bran and sue
culent food. Let her have run out of
doors.
Don't make. a practice Of breeding
young and miniature sows If you want
strong and healthy pigs. Don't feed
breeding sows corn, and so make them
fat; if you do, ten chances to one they
win kill their pigs. Don't go to the
other extreme and half starve them;
but give laxative food, such as roots,
bran or linseed meal. Don't let the
brood SOW run with shoats or other store
hogs, and at least put each sow by her.
self, in the place where she is to have
her litter, a week or ten days before she
is to farrow. 1. will pay you well after
weaving to feed the little pigs three
times day on warm food, feeding no
more than they will eat up clean. Give
them few oats to eat between meals.
See how much pork product can be
sold in a manufactured state and so get
double the price for it-sausage, head
cheese, spare ribs, bacon, hams and
shoulders and lard. These are the
names by which to sell the pigs. They
sound better than simply pork. Put
them in the best possible shape and sell
by sample, taking orders and then de-
ivering afterward.

Caustic agents are horribly slow and un-
certain, and, in the end, troublesome to
both owner and patient, SO that there
are very few instances where their use
is to he recommended. Growths in
which the base is diffuse, and round
which it is impossible to get a ligature,
should be dissected out or removed with
the hot iron; but in all cases where prac-
ticable the ligature is best, as the excres-
cence is less likely to grow again when
removed in this way. The action Of the
ligature is to cause construction, and de-
prive the growth Of the blood supply by
which it is nourished, and when this is
done it dies and drops off.
Large growths have corresponding
ly large vessel Of supply, and when these
are removed with the knife, unless the
vessels are picked up and tied or scared
with the hot iron, the hemorrhage is
frequently considerable and often very
troublesome to the amateur surgeon.
With the igature there is none Of this.

THE DOUBLE HITCH.

THE DOUBLE HITCH.
and if the knot known as the double
hitch is employed very large warts may
be taken off without much difficulty
even when the attachment is far from
being narrow.
The success attending this method de-
pends entirely on the tightness of the
construction, for unless the blood supply
be entirely cut off the growth will NOT
atrophy. Therefore we must have nc
granny's knots or others that will slip,
but something that can be drawn very
tight and that will not become loose.
The double hitch is perhaps the best, as
it requires no tying, and can be tighten
ed by drawing in the free ends. The
ends being within the two rounds, are
pressed upon by the connected portion.
and kept firm so that it cannot slip.
Moreover, when the ends are left long il
can be drawn tighter from time to time
as it cuts into the substance Of the wart.

How to Grow Big Corn Crops.


:, An Indiana farmer, writing in The
Farmers Review, tells how he has
gained his prize crops. He says:
The acre Of corn with which COM
peted for a premium in 1889, and on
which had drilled 500 pounds of phos-
phate, was planted three feet and two
feet alternately in width, with one stalk
every twelve inches in the row, and
yielded me 115 bushels. The same acre
was planted again last year with rows six
feet and three feet alternately, with
stalks twelve inches in row, and yielded
100 bushels of corn Of far superior quail
ity to the year before. No fertilizer was
used this time and the season was not
quite so good as the year before.
concluded, therefore, that made a
mistake in planting my corn too close to-
gether. Two one-fourth acre plats were
selected in which have not been able to
detect any difference in quality Of soil,
one plat planted as above, six feet and
three feet, and the other all the rows
three feet in width. The grains were
dropped in each case twelve inches in the
row, cultivation the same. Result: The
first named produced twenty-five BUSH
els good corn. The second, with one
third more corn planted, produced six
teen bushels good corn and eight bushels
light chaffy corn, equal in feeding value
to eighteen bushels good corn.
do not believe we can have any iron
clad rule to plant by. Some ground will
stand closer planting than other. I also
believe corn can stand closer planting in
Michigan or Wisconsin than it can in
southern Indiana or Kentucky.

HAY for Horses,

Professor Henry is credited with say
ing that ten pounds of hay is sufficient
for horse literally fed on grain. As a
rule horses consume much more hay
than is best for them or profitable for the
owner. The practice of filing hay chute
or deep manger with large amount Of
hay and allowing the animal to eat at
will should be avoided. With little ex-
perience ascertain the real needs of the
animal, and keep him to that.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-The "'Frisct

holders for an injunction to preven

Atchison railroads was resumed in the
United States circuit court this morn
ing.
Mr.. Ed. Keran, counsel for tine
Atchison and Frisco roads and theil
officers, secured the consent of the
court to introduce the entire annua
report of the two roads from 1879 to
date, from which Henry Hitchcock
counsel for the stockholders, had read
excerpts.
On Friday the case of both roads
and the record evidence being con
cluded he took up the work of reading
the affidavits Of the officers of both
companies and of the merchants and
tradesmen who have business with the
two roads, and also with the stock
holders who are in favor OF consolida-
| tion.
The affidavit of T. w. Reinhart, vice
president of both the Frisco and Atch
inson roads, was first read and is con.
sidered the weightiest evidence in the
case. 1t is nothing more apparently
than a somewhat deplorable condition
of the Frisco finances when he made
the examination last fall. In his re-
port Mr.. Reinhart says the company
has steadily been falling behind and
its floating debt was considerable in

power, but in spite of their efforts in

from o. 8 Darrow and Jesse Cox ON
the question as to whether the Worlds
fair directors had right TO grant
minimum rate of wages. The direc-
tors claimed that it would cOufiict
with their bylaws, which required
them to let contracts to Ghe lowest bid

to the effect that the directors had a
right to grant a minimum rate and
that it did not conflict wirh the by,s

by the labor people from CHEESE opih
ions was that he directors knew their

this excuse as n subterfuge TO escap
