PORTRAIT SWINDLERs.

The crayon portrait swindlers are
ont again in full force, and, we sup
pose, reaping a rich harvest from
that class of people who ''cant afford
to take the paper, but invariably
get snapped up by any thing that
holds out an offer of getting something

swindlers operate about like this E:
You will receive letter circular
from the Enterprise, "Chicago"
or some other PORTRAIT Co." stating
that if you will send a picture of any
member of your family they will
make you large and handsome
crayon portrait therefrom and send it
to you entirely free. They explain
that this offer is made to YOU only
and is done to introduce their work
into your locality and they expect
their profit from future orders from
your friends who see the handsome
picture in your possession. All they
ask of you is that you tell your
friends where it came from. As
they only make one free introductory
picture in community, they ask you
to not tell any one that it is gift.

PROFITABLE PIGS.
The stock OF New Pork VIII Be Quit
Limited Next EMIL.

The Stock OF New Pork VIII 30 Quite
Limited Next Fall.
The advice is often given to breed
for early pigs that can be pushed rapid
ly during the summer months, and be
sold before cold winter weather comes
The two considerations that enter into
the rearing of profitable pigs are the
cost of production, and the price real
lied when sold. If breeder attempts
to raise winter pigs, he must go to the
expense of providing warm houses for
the herd and take almost constant care
Of the pigs to prevent loss in cold,
cloudy weather. Whcnwarmcr weather
comes they must be fed on grain which
has been carried through the winter
and is at its highest value, making the
cost of raising and futtening the very
highest possible. The price in No.
vcmbe is generally lower than at any
other time, SO that the farmer loses
on the price of grain fed and on the
price of pork sold
On tie other hand, if pigs are far
rowed in the spring they live with the
dvms until new oats are at hand, and
on these, with slop made of shorts
and bran, they do finely until new corn
Is ready fer cutting. During the fall
the pumpkins from the cornfcld will
make both fat and growth, and fit the
system for heavy feeding of corn dur
ing November, December and january.
BY February the pigs are in fine con-
dition and bring big price. February
and August are the two months out of
the twelve when the highest price is
reached, so we see if pigs can be raised
safely, easily, cheaply and sold ut the
highest market price, the greatest
amount Of profit is secured A warm
shed can be built cheaply in which to
finish these May pigs, and cold weather
creates Il good appetite.
The west is almost depleted Of hogs,
and the supply for the next eight
months is but little more than sufficient
to meet the demands of the markets.
The stock of new pork will therefore
be quite limited next fall. 1t will pay
anyone to take good care of his spring
pigs this year. The best policy for Il
farmer to pursue is to raise n certain
number Of pigs every year, regardless
of the ruling prices at the time. Then
he will have some to sell when sea-
son of high prices comes, while he who
reduces his stock during dull times
will find himself without hogs when
there is good market. American

CHICAGO, j une 1 ] ustice. MEL
vile w. Fuller; of the United States
supreme court, has granted the super
,sedeas sued out BY the worlds Golum-
bian Exposition company, and the gates:
|ofi the fair were open SUNDAY. The
chief Justice on Saturday indef nitely
the opera Hon sof the injunc-
Etion granted by Judges Woods and Jen-
kins, of the United States circuit court.
Unless there is q speedy hearing in
the circuit court Of appeals, some thing
that cannot now: be decided, the gates
may be open for several Sundays to
come. While hearing Of the appeal is
set for next Thursday the two judges
who have been summoned by the
chief justice to sit with him are
both engaged in their own courts.
These judges are Judge Allen, Of
Springfield, ILL.,, and Judge Bum, of
Wisconsin. They may be unable to at
tend at the time fixed. and as they are
the only available members OF the court
the hearing may SO over for some time
yet. Pending the hearing, however,
much delay may intervene before the
order of supersedeas will be effective,
leaving the directors at liberty to con-
tinue running wide open Sunday it
they SO desire.
d REASON FOR THE ACTION.
Chief Justice Fuller granted the sus-
pension Of the order enjoining the di-
rectors from opening the gates Sundays
on the represent ation of Edward Walker,
chief counsel for the appellants, that to
allow it's operation would work a hard
ship upon the exposition company.
while the government could not be in
jured by leaving the gates open pend.
ing the hearing Of the appeal.
There was little in the way of
argument and the supersedeas was
issued as matter of couEse on the petit
ton. Little attention appeared to be
given by him to the actual arguments,
he taking the ground that this case
was just like any other and that the
defendants were entitled to the super
sedeas asked until the case could be
heard in the court of appeals next
Thursday and final decision reached.
All parties in interest agree that the
hearing in the court Of appeals shall
settle the entire controversy,
