MONEY IN PORK,

The outlook for Hogs Brighter Than 1t
Has Been for Years.
Those farmers who read the papers
an6 try to keep up with the times,
know that corn and clover make good
growth for pigs and good pork. If
SKINNED milk can be added, so much
the better; less corn and clover will be
required. 1t is pretty well settled, by
those who have tried it, that a hog
weighing from IS to 100 pounds in
May will double its weight by fall
with no other food than the clover
pasture. An acre of clover will pas
ture eight to ten hogs, an equivalent
of 1000 pounds of pork or equal to 150
bushels of corn. But we would not
confinc hogs to either corn or clover;
if they can have only one, by all
means give them the clover. 1t is bet
ter to combine the two and then oc-
casionally throw in a little something
else to make variety. The clover is
best relished when young and tender.
Hence it is better to keep enough hogs
to the acre to keep the clover well fed
down.
The destruction of hogs last year be-
cause of the short corn crop, the open
ing of foreign markets to our pork
products, and the short hog crop this
year, added to the naturally increasing
demand because of increase OF popula-
ton, ali point to higher prices for some
time to come. Our big corn and grain
crops this year will help out wonder
fully in supplying the demands Of the
market, as swine breed rapidly under
favorable conditions and modern meth
ods of breeding and rearing produce
marketable pork in remarkably short
period With plenty of feed and a good
demand no one need hesitate about.the
profitable production of pork until fu-
ture signs, some way off, shall point to
the prospects of a glutted market IN
til then pork must be a paying product,
and still more SO because of the higher
price of beef of the best quality. Sure
ly, the avenues of prosperity appear to
be opening freely to our farmers, who
have been resting SO long under cloud
The farmer who has faith in the hog
may reasonably hope to now enjoy the
reward of well doing. -Colman's Rural
World

He Thought He Was Riding Free, But
the Conductor Knew Better.
A little ragged boy slipped into Y
crowded cross-town car few night;

ward the front end, took possession of
fraction of seat Then he squirmed
for full possession An old-young man
sat next to him and looked protest

"way back, so he won't see me. amt

The face of the old-young man tool;
avowal of purpose, and he made room
for the urchin. But he made matters
straight with his conscience by short
lecture.
"You wouldn't cheat the company
would you?"
The boy nodded aad laughed "Yor
bet would" said he. Then he became
more anxious HAS he took up the
fares yet?" he asked.
NO" said the old-young man.
"Wottle do?' asked the boy. "I'l
tell him paid once"
Then the conductor came elbowin9
his way along, collecting the fares.
Hes got his eye on me-" whispered
the boy, in a frightened way. II seer

No. Keep still, He won't see you.
The old-young man became suddenly
conscious that his attitude was not in
the strict line of probity he had though
to impress on the boy.
Don't lie, whatever you do" he
added.
Then the conductor held out his hand
and the old-young man dropped dime

never heard him. He was too intent or

SPECIAL TALENT
To he of Value 1t Must he Applied to
Something in Particular.

pohNhhAhk W
Talent, cultivated or uncultivated, IL
it is only of average quality, is finan-
cially of little value 1t becomes of
value when 1t is above the average, and
its value then will be found to increase
in n geometrical rather than an arith-
metical progression. Itis in this respect
like diamonds or pearls, the relative
values of large and small being out of
all proportion to size, every increase in
size adding to the price in much great
er ratio, until, like the Koh-i-noor and
other historical gems, they become Of
almost priceless value. So it is with
talent and skill. man may have a
talent for music, and may have be-
slowed upon it considerable cultivation
Up 10 point it will only afford recrea-
tion to himself and pleasure TO his
friends, and at the same time be Of
very little market value, even though a
not very wide gulf divides him from
professionals receiving fabulous sums
for their services
Special professional skill or knowl-
edge has proportionally very much
greater value than average knowledge
In professions like those of law and
medicine, there is so much ground to
cover and so much knowledge to &C.
quiro that it is almost impossible in a
lifetime to master every branch of the
study, and 10 keep pace with the new
acts judicial interpretations, or medical
discoveries which each year produces.
To attempt 20 master the whole would
| usually result in general <nONle edge
and skill of only average quality. 1t is
the specialist who makes reputation
and fortune. The great secret Of
professional success is to possess some
branch of the skill or knowledge in a
greater degree than the average OF
these in the profession, and if possible
beyond all others 1t is better for the
individual, and certainly better for
humanity, that a medical man, for in
stance, should devote himself heart and
soul 10 the investigation and study ot
some particular form of disease, and
thereby add to pre-e xisting knowledge

The ,crong eoay,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-

perhaps, palhate for time. But
they may drive the disease to the

The right way is a proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem

Oeepest Lake In the World.

By far the deepest lake known in the
world is Lake Bailial. in Siberia 1t is
in every way comparable with some OF
the great lakes of America, for, while
its area is only 5000 square miles, max
ing it much smaller than the three
largest of our five great lakes, and
about the exact equal to Lake Erie in
superficial extent, its enormous depth,
1000 to 5000 feet, makes the total vol
ume of its waters almost equal to those
of Lake Superior. Its level is 1850
feet above that of the Pacific ocean,
but, Notwithstanding, its bottom is
more than 5000 feet below it There
are many other deep lakes in the world,
but so far Baikal takes the palm. Lake
Maggoire is 5000 feet deep, Lake Como
1000, and Lego-di-Garda, another Ital
ian lake, nearly 1900 feet in depth
Lake Constance averages about 1,00C
feet, and Lakes Superior and Michigan
about 500 feet-St Louis Republic.

self sown seed among the bushes and
grass in the vinnity of gardens from
whence the wind has originally waited
its plumed seeds. The roots of the
large varieties often grow to an inch
and half in diameter and foot or
more in length, and should have few
side roots. The leaves are long and
grass-like, and the flowers which ap-
pear the second year from the seed are
large, handsome and of Il peculiar soft
purple color, opening early in the
morning and closing before noon. For
winter use the roots should be packed
in sand or earth and placed in the eel

warming water for Cows.

Cows don't like to drink very cold
water; if the water is drawn from a
well it should not be pumped until the
COWS are turned out TO drink unless the
temperature of the air is higher than
that of the water. Whether it will pay
to warm the water depends Il great
deal upon the number of cows and the
eoidness of the water They will drink
more warm than cold water, and if
milk is sold the increased quantity of
milk they will give frOm drinking
warm water must be taken into the
calculations when considering the ad-
visibility of warming the water. II IS
doubtful whether there be amy rich
ness added to the milk from the in
creased quantity caused by the cows
drinking more warm water than they
would have of cold; therefore, butter
makers would have less indueement to
warm the water than those who sell
milk. National Stockman.

beyond proper hours-that is to say,
beyond the "a fe limit Of endurance. be-
cause there are conditions that require
prolonged effort But there must be
compensation. TO balance each hour

But man, physically, is but an animal,

of the pork, mutton, wool and egg pro-
ducers as on their breeding, care and
management hinges much of the in

breeding is as necessary as in building
