Pork.

Secretary Rush, of the department
of agriculture, says that farmers in all
parts of the country are inquiring as
to the probable profit of feeding corn
to hogs at the present prices. He de-
sires to state that the prospect for
large returns from judicious feeding
has seldom been as bright as now. In
average years it takes about Q lbs. of
hogs, live weight, 70 bring the price
of busbel of corn. This year lbs.
of hogs brings as much as bushel of
corn. IF 10 us Of pork age made from
bushel OF corn, which may he taken
as fair return, then the present
prices of hogs would make corn bring
about IS cents per bushel If fed to
these animals, which is about twice
as much as it is now quoted at on the
chicago marget. Instead OF sending
pigs and half fat hogs to market, as
thousands have done, only to find that
such animals were unfit for packing
and would bring but comparatively
small price; these animals should be
kept on the farm and fattened on the
corn which is now SO cheap in COM
parison with the present prices of
pork. The high price OF hogs is large
ly due to the meat inspection carried
on by the department of agriculture,
which opened the markets of Europe
and enabled shippers to send the sur
plus hog products out of the country.
Following this came a shortage in the
hog crop. The number of hogs
packed this winter is not only less
than it has been previously, but the
hogs are lighter in weight, so that
there has been a much smaller guam
tity of hog products prepared. When
the advance in price came the farm
ers sold their breeding stock which
comet be replaced for at least two
years. He therefore thinks it is per-
fectly safe to feed hogs under present
conditions until they are fully ma
tured, as the shortage of the hog pro-
ducts and the unrestricted foreign
markets for inspected meats offer the
best possible guarantee for good
prices.

Tennessee Methodist: Beyond
controversy the question of ques-
tions, the issue of all issues before
the American public and the Amer
lean church to-day is the whisky
problem. The ravages of the horrid
traffic are too enormous, the hell too
deep to which it is sending its army
of victims, the woe too wretched
with which it is crushing the inno-
cent hearts of wives and mothers,
for enemies to the deadly monster to
hesitate over theoretical differences
or waste time in specializing over
Utopian schemes for deliverance. 1t
is a monster iniquity hedged about
and hid away in the politics of the
country, and is feasting and fatten-
ing upon the blood and brains and
bullion of this republic, and will
bend only beneath the bruises of the
ballots of our Christian citizenship.
We need great patience and forti-
tude. God is in this movement to
throttle rum. While this is true,
we are not to supinely lean on this
truth and expect God to bring de-
liverance by some superhunan in
tervention; but by faithful cooper
alton with him consecrate our ener-
GIGS and prayers and means and
ballots to help in the furtherance of
his benign and manifest will.

Dress Reform.

The philosophers of Minnesota evi.
IDENTIFY believe that the most needed
reforms of the age are external and
belong to one sex; they say in effect
''let us dictate the apparel of woman
and we care not who reforms the
tariff
Last winter, knowing their own fra
lily and remembering they were dust,
they framed a bull to abolish tights
for women's wear, but heartlessly
omitted to legislate for "a substitute.
This winter the order is, no hoop
skirts under penalty of fine and inn
prisonment. For they whisper,
oline, we, the men of the little state
of Minnesota would be obliged, like
the Populists of Kansas, to take to
the middle of the road" They should
have publicly proclaimed that fact.
and the women of their state would
doubtless have held monster mass
meetings and formed large anti hoop
skirt leagues, rather than To suffer the
loneliness of treading the pavement
alone, unrefreshed by the tonic of
breath>capturing tobacco in face and
eyes; with no jam of idlers at corners
and CROSSINGS; finding no work for tic
trails, which miss their true vocation
vixen they have no street cleaning
contract, and losing the display of
chivalry, from those so near and yet
so far, which is always SO soothing
when given as a substitute for justice
The Legislators mean well, but have
just awakened from Rip Van Wrinkle
nap of rather longer duration than
the original. They cherish the illu.
sion with which they fell asleep, that
woman is a doll, whose apparel they
are to select, and whose notions they
are to control. A hoop skirt of mod
crate size has something the effect in
relieving the body from the weight
of clothing that the bloomer customer
had, and as the attempt TO wear that
costume in 1852 was mobbed, ridiculed
and reviled, SO in modern methods the
hoop-skirt must be legislated out of
existence instead of each man using
his gentle home influence in the do
nestle circles;-0! rash, misguided

Lewiston Tribune: New York is
having no end of trouble with her
license laws. Anybody can now get
a license to sell grog anywhere in
in New York City. The free traders
have their way fully in domestic
grog. A saloon has just been Ii
censed in Irving place against the
petition of every householder in that
quarter. The idea is to get as large
a revenue as possible out oficenses.
They take a dollar out of one pocket
for crime and put a nickel in the
city treasury's slot. This is the size
of the argument for licensing Grim
inal traffic. There is no satisfying a
criminal traffic. The Tammany
Hall legislature now contemplates
passing a bill to permit grogshops
in New York City to keep open
nights and Sundays, when by law
other business shuts up. From Civ
ing the liquor traffic perfect freedom
the passage is natural to giving it
perfect license-special privileges
not accorded honest business.

DR.. ]. d. Smith: With the rec
ord of the licensed liquor traffic
written as it now is in blood, the
churches everywhere declaring that
it is the greatest of all hindrances to
the progress of Christianity in the
world, and our court of last resort
declaring that it could have no legal
existence if not legalized by our rep
resentatives in Congress and in our
State Legislatures, and claiming, as
we do to believe in the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man
IN government, we cannot, we will
not, we dare not vote with a party
or for the nominees of a party whose
policy is to sell any man or set of
men the privilege of engaging in
and carrying on this otherwise IL
legal sin and wickedness. And the
man in this enlightened age of
Christendom who can look this
question squarely in the face and
then continue to thus vote, invites
and merits the curse of God upon
himself and posterity as much as
did the Israelites by their refusal to
enter Canaan and destroy idolatry.
