When fed too long upon any one kind
of food hogs are very liable to get OF
their feed, and especially so with corn
Hence the necessity of a variety.
One advantage in always keeping the
pigs thrifty and growing is that they
are always ready for market, and al
advantage can often be taken of better
markets.
Sheep. when well sheltered during
the fall and winter, will not only shear
more wool, but it will be OF a better
quality than those exposed to the
weather.
Success in hog raising means that
there must be regular growth for
every pound OF feed consumed, and
the conditions necessary TO secure this
must be observed.
Pigs raised by mother who has fully
attained her growth viii have better
start at weaving time than those fall
lowed by a half-grown SOW, and in ad-
oltlon Will have a better constitution
1t costs no more to winter than to
summer a calf that must be fed on milk
and a fall calf is ready to take advarl-
tage of the growth of grass IN the
spring, while a spring calf must be
wintered on dry feed
Rough food and grain are both neees-
sary in wintering Cattle in order to
keep them in good, thrifty condition
Cattle will often live through the win
ter if they have the run OF the straw
stack or are fed sufficient fodder
Diseases Turk in the feed tro1ghs that
have sour feed in them Clean every
| thing out of them after each meal If
there is any danger OF fermentation
Also examine the bins where ground
feed is kept. If there are any Jumps,
! throw them out Sour feed will scour
a horse, and is apt to bring on serious
| bowel complaints :
Make it a point to keep the cattle as
quiet and comfortable as possible and
they will require less food TO keep
/ thrifty and gaining, The more rapidly
1 an animal is fattened the less food Is
necessary to sustain its vitality. Lib
! eral and abundant feeding Is the most
! economical and saving OF time in gro
| ducing the same effect is a gain ia the
! profit
With good breed and good food and
/ care February pigs can be made ready
to market in September or the early
part of October and nearly always bring
! good prices, while they make their
growth and can be fattened under very
4 favorable conditions. If February pigs
! are desired, it is best, SO far as is pessi-
BILE, to use only well matured sows, those
| that have narrowed at least one litter
of pigs and proved themselves good
mothers. Then, if kept in good, thrifty
| condition and provided with comfort
able quarters, one can raise them with
no diffiulty.

confidence unless issued by the most
substantial of banks. He knows that
If there was the faintest suspicion re-
garding the solvency of any bank it's
notes would not circulate at all. He
knows, finally. that the question as to
the issue of state bank notes is not an
issue in this campaign any more than
the question as to the disposal of
'.arid public lands" which occupies a
cons picuous place In the republican
platform.
The very men who are fighting so
valiantly against the wildcat currency
of the last generation are particularly
vehement in their assertions that the
force bill is not an issue involved in the
campaign. With respect to that Mr.
MacVeagh pertinently observes: ct
must not be forgotten that only two
years ago such measure was warmly
advocated by President Harrison. earn
estly supported by the republican
coming a law
Mr.. MacVeagh might have added that
the Minneapolis platform is not more
explicit or emphatic upon any other
subject than upon the one of the force
enacted and enforced and declares
that ''the party will never relax its eff
forts" until such laws are enacted and
enforced If the republican platform
means anything by it's most deliberate
and explicit declarations the party is
as much in favor of a force bill as il
was two years ago or at any othe'
time
The republican party must be sadly
short of confidence when it abandons
and repudiates one of the most con
spicuous of the planl1s in its platform
and seeks to magnify into a thing Oh
tremendous portent little hid-away
plank in the democratic platform which
is of no more Importance in this con
test than the republican deiiverance
about the Nicaragua canal. A party
which abandons half of it's platform
and stands in mortal terror of the other
half is in a very bad way indeed. Chi.

Republicans Repudiating Part of Their

The organs and attorneys of mo-

to divert attention from the one great
Issue of the campaign by making long
speeches and writing long articles
against the wildcat currency with
which the country was afflicted thirty
or forty years ago. Wayne Mac
Veagh summarily disposes of all this
rubbish when he says that 1.-The aver
age voter knows that the irredeemable
paper currency in use before the war
can never reappear."
The average voter knows that such
currency cannot be made legal tender
and that he cannot be compelled to
take a dollar of it unless he wants It
He knows that the constitution ex-
pressly provides that no state shall
make anything but gold and silver a
legal tender. He knows that state
bank notes would not circulate one
hour in company with the $1,000, e00,-

occurrence in that city, bringing a
scene of festivity to an abrupt and
startling conclusion. While the 30

given to celebrate his success at some
examinations which he has just passed
in credita bic manner, he suddenly
threw down the instrument and before

Wounded.
Sr. LOUIS, March Pa story
Of desperate fight in which one
man was killed and another
mortally wounded, comes up
from the Sac and Fox Agency,
Indian Territory 1t appears
that two settlers on the adjoining
claims, named Geo. Barton and
James Zule, quarreled on Tuesday
eve last over debt, and Zule was
badly thrashed. zule went
home, got Winchester and laid all
night within easy gun-shot of Bar
toms house. When the latter
stepped out the door Wednesday
morning Zule shot and seriously
wounded him. Mrs. Barton
dragged her husband back in the
house, and while shutting the door
Zule forced his way in with his gun,
and swore that he would kill them
both. Then followed a death
struggle between the desperately
wounded man and wife an one side
and Zule the other. Finally Barton,
although exhausted from loss Of
blood, wrenched the gun from Zule
and placed it against his head, blew
his brains out, thus ending the con-
fiict.

The IRON HAND
OF cIotofe the Only Weapon That Can
Throttle the Opposition
70 THE FREE SILVER BILL.
Hand WIN Ask the Committee on Rules
to Set q Day for Fnrther Com
sideratfon.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
iron hand Of CIoture is the only
weapon that can throttle the oppo-
sition to the free silver bill and
force final vote upon that meas
ure in the house.
Mr.. Bland and friends are al
ready preparing to invoke
this last parliamentary resource to
secure decisive vote on the pass
age Of the bill.
Advocates of the measure have
constantly claimed from thirty to
forty majority on the passage Of the
bill, and the opponents Of the bill
have generally conceded a majority
from twenty to thirty.
The conclusion irresistible is that
a secret change of sentiment has
taken plase within the past few days
in certain quarters.
Mr.. BA nd viii at once call upon
the committee on rules by resolu-
ton or otherwise to report an
order setting apart a day or number
of days next week for the further
consideration Of the silver bill, and
naming the hour when the question
shall be put on the final passage of
the bill, and no intervening motions
will be entertained until such vote
is taken.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The

that he has not fully
recovered from the recent

Secretaries Foster and Tracy had
conference prior to the meeting,
presumably in regard to orders to be
sent to naval and revenue vessels to
be assigned to duty patrolIing the

1t is practically settled that this
service will be assigned to the war

killed himself in sight of a sick
ened crowd who dared not in
tersere, yesterday. He had an
attack Of delirium tremens and
was strapped tohis bed. He escaped,
ran to a neighboring fsh-monger's s
stall, secured knife, and then ran
up the street to a vacant lot, where
he turned and warned off the fisher
men who we're pursuing him.
Ie then drew the knife
several times across his throat, the
crowd which had collected being
too horri6ed to interfere. At the
fourth stroke he severed the jugular
and wind pipe and feel dead in the

A Girls Meal Tells Her Position in Society.
There is just as great an opportu-
nifty, if not greater, to judge a wo-
mans social standing by the meals
she enjoys while in public eating
place than if you undertook to arrive
at the same conclusion through the
medium Of her dress. Fashions in
eating change as well as in every
thing else. The quiet, we'll groomed
girl in the cloth suit and plain little
jacket who is putting away two
great slices Of underdone beef
with evident relish is the society
girl par excellence of to-day. She
belongs to the very elect, the circle
wherein physical training has be-
come wise and healthful fad, and
the roast beef and fine complexion
is the result. At another table a
girl who has not the opportunities
of her more favored sister to in
dulge in foie gras, ices and cham
pagnes every evening, is doing
justice to salads, ices and olives
with a rare appreciation of each one.
Roast beef she has in plenty every
day Of her life, but it is not often
she can indulge in dishes she knows
the names Of but seldom has an op-
portunity Of tasting. She belongs
to the upper middle class, as they
say in England.
