PIG-PEN POINTERS.

ONE objection to corn as an exclusive
ration to hogs is that it is a hard grain
to digest.
THE best preventive against swine
disease is generally cleanliness and
plenty of wholesome food.
WHEN a good brood SOW gets her
full growth her filters will be larger,
healthier and more uniform.
WITH the many and of the poorest
plans of management is that of ex-
changing males between neighbors,
it is only in fact a system of inbreed-
ing that is certain to tell sooner or
later.
In securing choice pigs the selection
of the male IS of the utmost import
ance, and it is only by using one that
is thoroughbred and possesses good
individual merit that the best results
are possible.
THE greatest quantity of meat in
the SHORTEST time cannot be secured
without good breeding and suitable
feeding while we cannot secure good
quality without a continuation of
good management.
In nearly all cases when early pigs
are desired it will nearly always be
best to depend upon old sows that
have been tried and have proved her
self to be a good mother. If this is
done early pigs can be made most
ofitable.-Farmer's Guide.

RUSSIAN PRISON DENS.
Remnants Terrible Tales substantiated by q
Russian OdiciaI's Report.

Remnants Terrible Tales substantiated by q
Russian OHicial's Report.
The publication in Russia of the re-
port of DIR. Suschtchinski, a well-lnown
physician, showing the lamentable con
dition of the famous-Or infamous
prison of Tinman, is triumph for the
friends of truth and progress in that
country. Although it has been gener-
ally known outside of Russia that its
penitentiaries lacked almost every.
thing which humanity had devised for
the alienation of the sufferings OF
prisoners, Russians themselves, save
the unhappy wretches confined within
prison walls, have been kept IN ig.
norance of the true state of affairs.
Heretofore, books, magazines and pa
pers emanating from this and other
countries, with the slightest de.
roga tory reference to Russia and Rus
sian institutions, have been seized anC
contiscated by the censor. A great and
praiseworthy change has come upon
Russia when permission is granted tc
spread broadcast a report such as that
of DIR. SuschtchinsSi.
Over 10000 men and women are con
fined annually in the prison of Tinmen
on their way to Siberia. Although the
building has only accommodations foi
"a few hundred persons, in May, 1892
2,4s0 men and women were crowded
into the small and narrow quarters
and in the hot days of the following
August there were still 800 i'm the pris

ing there was no room for the misera
BILE creatures to lie down, and they
were obliged to stand up Throughout
the night, packed SO closely together
that they could scarcely breathe In
the day time they We're allowed
to move about in the prison
yard, or. the doctor says, they
would have been smothered." The
hospital, the physician admits, was
enc only in name. For days at a time
il was without water and the physi
clans were unable to attend to the
sick. The death rate under these de-
plorable conditions was naturally
frightful. Cholera ana other diseases
carried off the prisoners by the hun
dreds Though eighty nine thousand
rubles were added to the prison treas.
