mad rather see hundred mon and

Plan for Cheap Hog House.

Build regular frame, Z or feet
high, 2Ox32. Have your feeding floor
right in the middle, lengthwise, feet
wide, with five stalls on each side of the
feeding floor; also a door to each stall
all around. For feeding floor the door
on one gable end also one window on
each gable end and half windows on
each length side as high up as can be.
For floor take good oak plank. For
partitions 1 would take sycamore or
any other kind of hard lumber. Each
stall ought to have its own trough, and
stick out to feeding floor enough to
put in your swill and feed; and one or
two wooden ventilating chimneys on
the roof. Windows ought to be fixed to
open when wanted. This hog house
will be handy for winter and summer
use. You must have four long sills
and two short ones. All the bottom
timber ought to be oak. On cost you
Gan have your own figures. My, figures
are SIS a thousand feet on lumber all
around; would bring it to about 1925,

BARRED WIRE FENCES.
They Were Used in France Long Ago
1851 and 1863.

They Were Used in France as Long Ago
as 1861 and 1865.
The writer has already called atten-
ton to French patents of Grassin-
Baledans, 1851, and Jannin, 1865, for
barbed wire fences, which are both an
terror to the earliest date of invention
set up by the first American patentee of
a barbed wire fence, who, as is well
known, provided the wires of wire
fence with series of spur wheels
Almost about the same time a Breton
brick manufacturer. Gilbert Gavillard,
received q French patent, dated August
81, 1857, No. 77,570, for barbed wire
fence, which may be described as fol-
lows, by following as nearly as possible
the French descriptions:
This fence is composed of three gal
vanized wires and of spines, also gal
vanized, placed between and clamped
by two strands, while the heads are
covered by the third strand. These
strands of galvanized wire are twisted
together, SO as to present iron thorns
on all their faces. In order to form a
fence, it suffices to plant posts in the
ground and attach thereto, by means OF
iron wire hooks, three of these artificial
thorny branches, which are placed at a
suficient distance apart to prevent an

ever again essay any new role.
He is not perhaps too old, for though
he is So years Of age his health and
general physical condition are excel
lent. He does not spend so much of
his spare time at his plantation in
Louisiana as formerly. He is inter
ested in politics and is warm personal
friend of Grover Cleveland. Although
a man of much iberality, he was never,
like his father or his grandfather, i'm
provident, and is now worth about
$500, 900. The last new venture he en-
tered into was with the late BILLY"
Florence, when they organized a COM
binatlon to produce line of the old
time comedies. The venture was high
ly successful, from both financial and
artistic point of view. and was in oper-
alton when brought to close by the
death of Mr.. Florence.
Besides Mr.. Jefferson's ability as a
comedian he is both writer and an
artist. There are various paintings on
exhibition which testify to his genius
in the latter line, and if there were
nothing else to recommend him in the
former, his autobiography in the Cen

of sparkling humor. established his

RECIPROCITY TRIED.
The Balance of Trade as Affected by Re-
publican Measures.

publican Measures.
Exports of gold and the excess of i'm
ports over exports invite attention to
the degree Of success attending the at
tempt made in the Mckinley bill to
regulate trade balances by reciprocity
arrangements. The need of such ar
engagements was strongly urged by
reference to the large excess OF our i'm
ports from South America over our ex-
ports to those countries Thus, for the
fiscal year 1890, the last before the Nc
Kinley bill was passed, we imported
from Brazil merchandise worth S59.-
000, 900, and sold her merchandise worth
Sc, 200, 900. So the balance of trade to
be settled IN gold. as the republicans
| were in the habit of stating it, was
SAT 200. 900, though we actually sent to
Brazil in that year only a little more
than half million dollars in gold and
silver
The reciprocity section of the Nc
| Kinley bill was intended to correct this
| inequality in our trade-to make our
exports to South America equal our i'm
ports thence, or, at any rate, to reduce
| the excess of imports. This was the
main object sought, and to accomplish
it the president was armed with power
| to tax the products of countries that
failed to adapt their tariff laws to what
was supposed to be the interest of our
| trade.
| After trial of reciprocity up to the
close of the fiscal year 1899, our expert
ence with Brazil, the leading South
American country and the first to agree
to the reciprocity requirement, was as
follows: Our exports to Brazil had in
1 So6 in r
$4,000, 900. In the same time our i'm
ports had increased from $50. 900. 900 tc
Sis, 633, 900. The balance of trade had
increased from SAT 200, 900 to s104, 900,
900. Our net exports of specie in the
same year were about 5000, 900 (nearly
all silver), or very little more than two
| years before. This is explained by the
fact that our South American balance:
are mostly settled in London.
1t is luminous commentary on thu
republican party's promise to check i'm
ports and keep our gold at home, tina
when it reluctantly loosed its hold OF
power our imports had largely in
creased, our export trade had dwindled
and our gold was leaving the country
in millions per week. In the fiscal yea,
1889, toward the close of which Mr.
Harrison became president, we imported
nearly SOS, 600, 900 more specie than W.
exported. In the following year tn
net imports of specie were SIS, 000, 600
In the fiscal year 1891, the net export
of specie were nearly S73, 600, 600. In tn
last fiscal year the excess of export
was not large, but for the twelv
months ending March 81, 1898, it wa
s94, 900, 900.

ideas The world at large has long
since passed its verdict upon the mat
ter. Excellent as was Sheridan's ORR
gina1 play, jefferson has certainly pro-
duced version more to the public
taste.
Mr.. Jefferson has played and made
great successes in the characters Of
Salem Scudder in ''The Octoroon,"
Newman Noggo in ''Nicholas MCKEE
by DIR. Ol1apod in a "Poor Gentle
man." DR.. Pangloss in the ''Heir at
Law" and Caleb Plummer in 1.-THE
Cricket on the Hearth
In character Mr.. jefferson is one Of
the most genial men in the dramatic
profession. He was married the second
time on December 20, 1867, to Miss
Sarah Warren, relative of William
Warren, the comedian. He has ever
been liberal in the extreme to his breth-
rem In the profession, giving time and
F.; money whenever he was called upon.
It was Joseph Jefferson who first prof
fered his assistance to the family of
George Holland after the death of that
genial comedian.
| It was Mr.. jefferson who went with
the son of the dead actor, at Mrs. Hol-
lands request, to the pastor of her
church to ask him to hold the funeral
services in his church, but who refused
upon learning the profession the de-
ceased had followed. 1t was to Joseph
| Jefferson this minister OF the Gospel
said that though he could not hold the
| funeral services of an actor in his
| church there was ''a little church
AROUND the corner" where the funeral
services could possibly be held. In re-
| lating the event Mr.. Jefferson did
not appear to care about the slight
yes, insult-to himself as a member OF
the deposed profession, though there is
no doubt he did feel it keenly, but it
cut him to the quick to have his dead
friends son hear such slight put upon
his father. Mr.. jefferson was probably
never so much incensed in his life as he
was at that unfeeling minister.

The Production of Milk,

In our experience in producing milk
we have succeeded best by using from
l6 TO 20 pounds daily of a feed composed
of 100 pounds of bran. SO pounds of
wheat meal, so pounds of buckwheat
shorts and so pounds of corn chop, says
a correspondent. The bran we use is
not the new process bran-that we
have found out by experience to be
worth q good deal less than we paid for
it-but good, solid, old-fashioned
pran-shorts and all The wheat meal
is made by grinding low grade wheat
and taking out only the bran. The
buckwheat shorts we regard as es-
pecially useful in causing a large flow
of milk, and the corn we add for its
heat and flesh producing elements. A
ton of this mixture costs us, at present
prices, s10-75 per ton. We occasionally
add oil meal in small quantities, but do
not think it would pay to add regularly
at s25 per ton We have no arrange
ments for cooking, and SO feed dry
