THEIR SAD FAREWELL.
Wisconsin People at Washington Meet
and Make Merry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 80. = The
reunion of Wisconsin people last even
ing under the auspices of the Wiscon-
sin Republican Association exceeded
all expectations. The armory of the
National Rifles, one of the largest halls
in Washington, was we'll filed. Every
body wondered where they came from,
declared that Wisconsin had smaller
number of government employees than
any other state. Many had been so
long away from Wisconsin that they
needed introducions to Senator Sawyer,
"Hod" Taylor and Jerry Rusk. Great
great care was taken to invite every
body who had ever lived in Wisconsin,
and that list included all sorts of
people, from cabinet officers down
to the watchman in the pension office.
The reception was held from 10 1890,
the receiving party being Senator Saw
yer and Mrs. White. Secretary Rusk
and wife, Representative La Toilette,
Brickner and Haugen, and wives.
After this pleasant formality, Geo. C.
Hazelton delivered the address of well
come in place CT Senator Spooner, who
He said that all Wisconsin people
should be proud Of their state as fore
most in progress and love of liberty.
They were also not very backward in
asking for offices, judging from the
crowd before him. He believed that if
Senator Sawyer's health held out he
would get promotion for al of them, and
get places for the balance CT the
state. Representative La Toilette was
then introduced and made a bright and
witty speech. He said this affair had a
touch of sadness for many in the Wis
consin delegation. 1t meant that all
except one would in a short time bid
farewell to Washington and go to their
homes in Wisconsin. He knew there
were still large numbers IN his district
willing to accept office, and he would
turn them over to Senator SaWyer'S ten
der care. He eloquently described the
location, resources and people OF Wis
consin, pointing to Senator Sawyer and
Secretary Rusk as q sample Of what
pluck, genius and perseverance may
accomplish in the Badger State. The
balance Of the evening was spent in
dancing. There were some attractive
costumes, those of Mrs. White and Mrs.
Rusk being very handsome. Among the
more prominent of those present in

A SUMMER SOLITUDE.

Broad slopes, robed regslly in purple ling,
Where green moist moss and scented thyme
lie hid:
And harebelis hang the wind-stirrcd grass
amid;
And ferns and foxgloves fringe the peat
stained spring
Here flames a yellow TUT Of furze, and there
narrow patch Of vivid color shows
The ant-built hiloeks where the cistus
grows;
And rudy bracken starts up everywhere.
The scattered sheep stray singly DER the
waste:
Above. the plOver sounds his plainti-r pip- /;
Out yonder rise pair OF startled snipe.
And seek fresh shelter with a timid haste.
And far out west there CLEANS the wide gray
main
A silver glory where the sunsprite spills
His subtle charm-and meath the northern
hills
Faint smoke goes up Of cities Of the plain.
silent solemn place and holy ground,
Where God speaks in still small voice,
which they
Hear not who hurry by; but those who stay,
And hearken, catch the tender whispered
sound,
And hearing, gain a strange, strong peace Of
heart;
new sweet patience for the pains Of life;
A calmer courage for its stern fierce strife;
A conscious power to do a nobler part

a good story is going the rounds of

ment of certain big circus. Accord
ing to a contemporary, it has been the
custom of Barnum & Bailey for many
wears to mail circulars signed by Mr.
Barnum to the clergyman and ministers
of any town the Greatest Show on Earth
was coming to, calling the attention of
these reverend gentlemen to the moral
nature of the exhibition and discounting
any objections that might be made to a
frivolous circus. Shortly after Mr.
Barnums death one of these circulars
was received by minister of the First
Congregational Church Of Hartfort,
Conn, addressed to the Rev. MIR.
Halves. Now it happens that the Rev.
Mr. Halves has been dead for ten years.

PROFITABLE HOGS.
There Is Money in Feeding Pigs for Lean
Meats.

Ihere Is Money an Feeding Pigs Tor Lean
Meats.
1t is cheaper TO produce meat that
contains large proportion of lean with
the fat than to fatten hog to such a
condition as to fit it only for the pro-
duction of lard, and it is a fact that
feeding for lean meat greater weight
of carcass is secured and at no more
expense than in producing an excess of
fat This is explained by reason of the
fact that when an animal is given food
containing the elements of growth of
bone and muscle as well as of fat the
condition of the animal is sustained in
manner to permit more perfect diges-
ton and assimilation and greater pro-
portion for the support of the system
of the nutritious elements that are re-
CURED and which are more evenly dis
tributed through the body, instead of
the semi-diseased condition produced
when corn is given as an exclusive diet.
Hence the farmer who diminishes the
ration of maize, allowing but portion
only, substituting therefor bran, mid
dlings, milk and clover-cut fine and
scalded-win have his hogs larger,
heavier, healthier and of better quality
of flesh than from corn. While giving
the advantages of a systematic method
of feeding for the best results in pro-
ducing the heaviest pork, the fact that
prime lard brings price that makes it
desirable on the part of the farmer to
have his hogs fat, it must be admitted
that it is a serious obstacle in the way
when lean meat is advocated, but the
lean meat is simply interspersed with
the fat, and the greater increase from
the variety of food does not diminish
the supply of lard. The farmer will
find that in those portions of the car
cass from which the lard is produced
but little difference will be observed,
and the hog win be much more valuable
as a whole. -Colman' Rural World.

AMONG The POULTRY.

If ducks are kept, be sure to have the
duck house tight and dry.

disease, especially cholera
THE hens laying thin-shelled eggs is
often caused by a lack of gravel.
WHEN the hens arc confined mess
of cooked meat will promote laying.
Do NOT sell off all the old hens.
Keep some of them for mothers next
spring.
OLD geese should not be sold; they
furnish the most and best feathers; sell
the young and keep the old.
a YOUNG duck is easily chol1ed if fed
upon dry feed alone Water should al
ways be supplied to them when fed
THE moulting season requires from
eighty to ninety days, and the hens re-
quire good care while this is going on.
ONE advantage with stone drinking
vessels is that they viii keep the water
cool much longer, while they are easily
kept clean.
In selecting out the ROSTERS to keen
for next seasons breeding, take those
that are compact, of medium size and
very active.
If young turkeys can have the run OF

viii pick up much grain that would
otherwise be wasted
