Barley-Fed Hogs.

From st. Paul Saturday Reporter Dec.
3lst 1893.
Gao. Fau,er, OF Fow'e r Bros. Mapleton.
North Dakata, brought in a couple more
loads Of barley-fed hogs last week, of their
own feeding, that compared with any hogs
Fowler has tried hog raising in that north
ern country for several years, feeding bar,
ley and occasionally wheat screenings and
finds he can raise as good a hog on barley
and as cheap, as on corn. In fact, he
brought in q load OF barley hogs two years
ago that were the best received here that
year.
We think Northern Minnesota farmers
especially those above the '''cornbelt,"
would do we'll 10 think over the above
when they are selling wheat at 40 to 500
pei bushel. Hogs can be raised as well and
as cheaply i'll Northern Minnesota as in
1t may take better winter quarters in
Minnesota. but to offset that it is we'll to Re.
member that a case of hog cholera was
never heard of in the colder climate.

ia at lis market value for cash. The ayer-
age cost o fhogs Oh this market for the past
five years is about "a so, which pays a profit
in excess of any crop the farmer can raise,
while the present price is about $3.50 per

be raise [ anil marketed III from ten to
twelve months. Eve y farmer north of st.
Paul should raise, at least q few hogs, and
they should use good Judgment in securing
good breeds Of hogs. Farmers who wish
to engage in hog raising can secure tho
breeding hogs, any day i'll the year, at the
Stock Yards in SouthsSt. Paul, this fact II
mentioned as farmers are constantly askina
as where they can secure the stock hogs.

GILLESPIE BLAINE.
HIS TlRELESS BRAIN is FOREVER
AT REST.
The Angel OF Death Has Claimed
the Foremost Statesman Of
the Age, and America
Has Lost Her Fa-
vorite Son,
A Nation MOurnS.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-One more name,
that of james G. Blaine, has been added
to the list of the nations dead. Once
more the thoughts Of the people are
turned toward the man who, as the
"Plumed Knight" was such an object of
devotion. For years he stood in the
very first rank of the great men of the
land and few men have ever welded such
a potent influence as James G.. Blaine.
He was the one whom his party delight
ed to honor and whose word was law
with his followers. With the exception of
the presidential chair he achieved every
form of success possible to a statesman
in a free country. He began at the bot
tom of the ladder of fame. He rose to
the top, and with his death there passes
away one of the foremost figures in the
history of the republic. Few men have
had so many ardent admirers and de-
voted riends. He made many bitter
enemies as we'll. This was but a natural
result of the position he filed in life.
But now all animosity is buried, and
friends and political foes alike unite in
expressions of regret at the passing away
Of the imam from Maine"
The news of Mr.. Blaine's death spread
through the departments with startling
rapidity. Within a few moments after
the event the rumor reached the state de-
pertinent and ran through the entire
building in an inconceivably short space
of time. Officials and clerks poured into
the corridors in search of information
which would substantiate the rumor,
and the telephones were kept busy with
inquiries. The first intimation of his
death came by word of mouth, and soon
after was officially confirmed from the
White House. While the death of the
statesman created a profound sensation
throughout the building, this feeling was
intensified in the state department, where
there is hardly an official or employee
who had not a personal acquaintance
with the dead man. Although the event
was daily expected and every one was
in a measure prepared for the reception
of the sad news, it was a shock to every
one. It is a noticeable fact, as indicat-
ing the character of the man who, for
two terms held the highest position in
and was one of the foremost men Of tho
age, that he never again passed under
the portals of the state department
After the Day Of His Re~sfgnattOn.
He has never %re-entered the depart
ment which so long had him as the chief
since that memorable Saturday, June 3,
when he penned the brief resignation,
which probably caused a more profound
sensation than any similar missive in the
history of this country. The resignation

STUDENTS of natural history have
pointed out many instances of ami
mails and birds adapting themselves
to changed conditions of life. A
somewhat interesting example of this
is asserted to be taking place at the
present time in Australia. The
feeces of the strains of English
sheep imported into that continent
: said to be growing decidedly light
er, owing to the fact that the heavy
fleece is not necessary under a warm

NASHVILLE, Tenn. August 29.-It is
understood among the operatives Of the
Louisville and Nashville road that the
boilermakers, machinists and black
smiths employed by the company have
been ordered to strike next Friday, no
matter what the other employees do.
They have formally decided not to &C
cept the reduction, and will walk out of
every workshop from Cincinnati TO
New Orleans, aud all the branches.
This action has strengthened the feel
ing OF opposition among the other en-
ployes to the proposal Of the road. This
proposed action of the machinists is
given out in labor circles 10 this city as
corrtct. The employees Of the Nashville
and Chattanooga road have signed an
agreement with the company, accepting
the reduction until December l, when,
if business justihss, the old rates will
be restored.
