A dispatch from Lincoln, Kan, says;
"When the Alliance swept the state OF
Kansas the farmers of this district
placed in nomination and elected to the
office of congressman preacher and
farmer, Mr.. Baker. 1t was asserted by
many of the new congresSman's enemies
that he was what is technically known
as mouth farmer and his aspira'
tions as u farmers candidate brought
out much adverse criticism from the OPP
position. While it is possible that Mr.
Baker is not an active farmer, there can
be no doubt about his daughter being
eligible TO seat among the Alliance
people. Miss Hannah is now running a
farm of her own near this town and has
been caring for it for several years.
"Shelocated and entered il herself, and
has done all the hard work on 1t for the
last four years. She is but tweutytour
years old, yet she takes mans part and
does a mans work.
"She has woman hired to help her,
and in the heaviest season Of work EN-
ploys a man to assist in cultivatiug the
l40 acres which she has brought to u
high state of cultivation. Miss Baker
goes to the field in mans garD and
plows and sows, attending to all the du.
ties usually followed by man, and has
made money ever since she began to do
the work. She has never been compelled
to borrow a dollar, and today owns the
farm, debt free, with an enormous crop
on 1t.
"She had the farm we'll stocked at the
beginning from sum of money she had
been saving since she was little girl.
She raised chickens and sold them dur
ing her girlhood, and religiously put the
money away until she had enough to
give her a good start, and then she took
| the farm and made her start. She has
| l40 acres under cultivation, and twenty
acres in wood pasture, on which she has
some very good stock. She was unfor
tunate enough last week to be bitten by
a rattlesnake while plowing up new
piece of ground, but by prompt atten.
ton she soon recovered and is now at
work again, and says it will take more
than snake to stop her from working.

II il is true that General Beaurrgard left

twirled the wheel of fortune for the Louis

There were sure winnings in the lottery for
him, and he did not di,daiu to carry them

people know, finds one Use OF his vast in

lottery, the turf, is worth cultivating pure

of possible gain.
The baron has given to hospitals, homes
and benevolent associations, principally In
London, without regard to their creeds or
nationalities, all the money won by him
upon the turf during 1891 and lSe. In
1891 the winnings amounted to 5000, and
in 1872 to e35,OOO. The amounts received
from him by various institutions vary from

No matter what may be the season,
the tea gown and the house dress must
always be of interest to the woman who
likes to look nice in the house as well as
out of doors.
In these days of steam heated aud
comfortably warmed apartments one
does not need to make the house dress
any warmer in winter than in summer,
because the temperature is at summer
heat all the year around. Therefore,
greater latitude is afforded to a woman
in buying her house dresses than in buy
ing her street dresses.
At luncheon which was given a
short time ago by young society wom-
an who had just returned from LenOx
and wished to entertain few Of her lady
friends before starting upon an autumn
trip, the prettiest gown of all was that
which was worn by the hostess herself.
She had no intention of being elabo-
rately dressed, and therefore the material
which she selected was plain white CASH
mere. The bodice was square necked
and tight fitting to the waist line. Be-
low that it was slashed all around. The
skirt was perfectly plain, and hung full
both front and back. To relieve the
cling.ng appearance it was lined with
silk, and this gave it more graceful
hang and an appearance of heaviness
The sleeves of this gown were Of the
same white cashmere, and consisted of
one big puff Over the cashmere there
were bands of white satin ribbon.
There was broad white satin collar
trimmed with white valenciennes lace,
and little of the lace edged the front of
the bodice and took the place of belt.
The effect was lovely, and so much
admiration did the gown provoke that
the hostess declared that she felt quite
embarrassed at wearing so pretty
gown, as if she had tried to outdress her
guests.
The same gown in two shades of blue is
quite as pretty, and by reason of its color
is not as dressy in effect and makes an
admirable luncheon gown.-New York

FEEDING PIGS IN WINTER.
Attention to Feed Needed to Produce
Best Results.


Growing pigs need d richer ration in
winter than in summer. While they
have the run of good pasture, slop
stuff and bran or bran and oil meal
made into slop with skim milk makes
very good ration In the winter,
however, in a ma jority of cases a richer
feed is necessary, One reason for this
is that IN a majority of cases little or
no feed is secured in the pastures, and
they must depend almost entirely upon
dry feed, and that must be supplied to
them. Then ration that will supply
animal heat to better advantage is
needed in winter than in summer;
and especially so in severe cold
weather. For this feason it is nearly
always advisable to feed lit
tie corn in connection with other mate
rails. While it is rarely best to make
corn anything like an exclusive ration,
yet with bran, slop stuff, oats and oil
meal some corn can be fed to an advan-
tage. In nearly all cases it will be best
to feed whole, either on the ear or
shelled. The objection to using corn
meal in the slop is the difficulty in mix
ing. 1t settles very apidly to the bot
tom, and is objectionable on this ac-
count Ground oats with corn meal is
one of the very best ways of feeding it.
Oats and barley in equal quantities
make one of the very best rations that
can he made up for growing pigs at any
time. When bran and slop stuff are
used some oil meal should nearly all
ways be added, especially in winter, but
where it can he secured at reasonable
price the better plan is to use some
corn. During the winter it is nearly
always safe to feed all that they will
eat up clean at each meal If they can
| be allowed to run cut there svery little
danger of overlooking, that is if no
more is given than is eaten up clean.
| With no class of stock, whether feeding
| for growth or to fatten for market, is it
| advisable to give more than is eaten at
any one meal, and if good health and
thrift is to be maintained with CROWN g
pigs care must be taken not to over
feed. Better have them go little
hungry rather than to leave a
lot of feed. 1t is not only the
waste of feed that should be con.
sidcred, but the health and thrift OF
the pigs. The ration that shold be
supplied can best be determined by the
growth and thrift of the pigs If sui.
ficent is given to keep thrifty this is all
that is necessary, and the nearer this
can be done the more satisfactory will
be the results. Every item must be
considered, not only to maintain good
health, but to resolve how best results
as regards growth can be secured at
the lowest cost, and while one ration
will be be best with one farmer some.
thing else will be the most profitable
with another. but this is something
that each must determine for himself.
