When Properly Conducted the System 10
Very Profitable.
This system when properly conducted
is capable of being carried on with

lots of twenty each. An acre of good

pigs, says writer, as it will pasture.
giving them a full ration of grass, with
this great advantage over pasture, that
you may mingle the grain ration with
it so as to produce the most rapid
growth with perfect health. Pigs in
pasture, fed on grain at the same time,
are apt to take mostly to either the
grain or the grass, and thus not make
as rapid progress as when the ration is
properly combined. We have never
seen a pig that did not relish green
clover and grain mixed together.
1t may be mingled in any proportion
the feeder chooses, and the animal thus
be pushed slowly or rapidly, as circum-
stances require. This system should
become the prevailing one in the west
adopted as matter of economy-pro-
ducing greater results from the same
capital and labor. A swine-herder,
under this system, may prepare the ra-
ton and feed 500 pigs, looking after all
their wants, and producing much more
uniform growth than under the present
system. The cost of labor per head
will be very trivial. A modification of
this plan may be adopted in connection
with pasture, by feeding the grain,
mixed with small portion of shortcut
grass, in long troughs. Any green food
may be used in lieu of clover; such as
green rye, oats, millet, Hungarian
grass. green peas, ETC., but nothing, ex-
sept the peas, is equal to the clover

A HEALTHY PEOPLE.

Statistical Information Regarding the
Death Rate Among Ouakers.
The report of the Society of Friends
in the United Kingdom states that the
number of members is about 1850, and
as the deaths in three years averaged
$50 per annum the mean annual death
rate may be calculated to have been
1876 per 1000. <. Bearing in mind the
strong evidence that is supplied by the
figures of the high mean of age of the
members, this mean death rate may be
accepted as proof that the health condi.
ton of the society is eminently salts
factory. It may be noted that $50, or
81 per cent. of the 76s deaths in the
three years were of persons aged up
ward of sixty years, and although this
remarkable fact, without information
of the proportional age distribution of
the living members of the society,
gives no clew to the mean duration of
life among Quakers, it affords conclu-
sive evidence that the death rate at all
ages of the members is remarkably low.
Taken as an abstract fact it is certainly
remarkable that only fifteen deaths of
children aged under 5 years occurred
during the year 1889 among the $780,
600 members. From a statistical point
Of view, however, it is essential to
know whether this is due to the fact
that the rate of mortality among the
young children of Quakers is so alb
normally low, or to the more probable
fact that the membe of the Society of
Friends include a very abnormally
su:all proportion of young children

SALOONS AS NEIGHBORS.
The Kind of Business That Peope Don't

The Kind OF Business That Poop Q Don't
Want Next Door.
There is a world of suggestion in the
fact that very few men can be found
even among those who uphold the liq-
uor traffic in general. and who vote for
it's perpetuation, who are willing to
have a saloon planted near their own
doors. 1t must be a cause of sad and
painful surprise to poor and guile
less saloon keeper, who has been sus-
tanned in his business for years largely
by the votes and influence of class
of eminently respectable and well to
do people, to find how much he is not
wanted when he attempts to transfer
his place of business into the midst of
his eminently respectable and well to
do advocates and csympathizers. It
was the lamented ARENAS Ward who
said that after long experience he had
found that the only comfortable place
to have a boil was on some other man.
So the general feeling seems to be that
the only good location for saloon is
next to some other man. The situa-
ton is such, however, that, as rule,
only those who have wealth and influ-
ence are able to dictate the location Of
saloons-to put them next to some
other man. 1t is of little avail for the
poor and humble jewellers in the tene-
ment districts to protest against the
saloons. No one cares how many rum
shops are thrust upon them. They who
are the weakest and least able to with
stand the temptations of the grog-
shops must be made to suffer their
vicious and communicating presence
whether they will or no.-Christian at

Our guns not being loaded proved

jumped up and tried to strike the

lures stopped for minute and swan
in circle round the canoe. They
knew that they had cornered their

over their coming feast. Our attempts
to frighten them, however, were inef-
fectual, and when we struck one on

There was slight ripple in the water

fins of an ugly-loolxing shark glided
through the water. The heavy floods
had made the water in the inlet so deep
that the finny monster had ventured
far inshore after food. The noise Of
the battle had attracted his attention,
and he was approaching the scene.
The five alligators waited expectant-
ly for the new enemy, and when the
huge shark turned over to seize one Of
the creatures the heavy sarrians re-
turned the attack. The battle was evil
IDENTIFY a surprise to both parties. The
shark was unaccustomed to such tough
skinned enemies, and after the first en-
counter he regretted his rashness.
But it was too late to retreat then.
The alligators, pressed on with hunger,
surrounded the huge fish and soon tore
him to pieces. The red blood dyed the
water for many rods around, and the
splashing of the heavy tails told the
story of the fierce conflict going on.
The shark was gamey to the last, and
before he succumbed one of the huge
saurians was floating on his back dead
and another swimming painfully toward
the mangrove swamps badly injured.
We lost no time in getting away from
the scene of the conflict, and when we
reached the camp we were completely
exhausted. The remembrance of that
race, and how the shark saved us, is
always before our minds when we
