No Blanks in this Competition.

This is competition of rather all unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes Tor the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it, The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
petitve plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe
titon, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize. He has substantial result to show
for his work one that will command its val.
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point Of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
paientng. Tie simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

PIo.PEN POINTERS.

PUMPKINS can proftably be raised to
feed hogs or cows in the fall.
Avon getting your breeding boar too
fat; rather give him food that forms
bone and muscle.
THE curl in the pigs tail is an indica-
ton Of health and thrift Don't fail to
keep your eye on the indicator.
STAaNANT water is the home of dis
ease germs; hence it is the best policy
to have drain in the hog yard.
WHEN you purchase any pigs quar-
antine them for thirty days before let
ting them associate with your others.
NEVER feed a pig soliberally but that
it will always be ready to eat heartily
at the next meal. 0yer-gorging is as
Improbable as half-starving it.
THE grass-fed sow never becomes adj
dicted to the vice Of pig eating. Her
whole system is in good condition, and
only feverish, constipated sows devour
their pigs.
WHEN you are compelled to keep
vour swine penned up, if you expect
them to thrive as they should, you must
see that they get some green food daily,
In winter artichol1es, turnips and the
small potatoes should take the place Of
grass and clover. Colman's Rural

Cattle foods are classed as carbon
aceous and heterogeneous; the former, of
which corn is the principal one em-
ployed, produces chiefly heat and fat
there are scarcely any milk-producing
forces in it, nor is it's fertilizing energy
Of any great value. Living on heat its
function is to produce heat in the ami
NAL structure; therefore, don't feed n
mich cow any more corn than will
serve to balance her ration proper
ly. The heterogeneous foods are those
rich in albuminoids and which pro-
duces muscle, and therefore milk. They
are oats. wheat bran, cottop-seed meal,
linseed meal and some others. These
foods not only produce the most and
best milk, but they are the best to pro-
mote growth in the young animal
Clover, if cut in season and perfectly
cured and saved, forms an almost per-

Feeding sheep for market can in
many cases be made profitable if prop
.er care is taken in the management, yet
the larger proportion of the sheep sent
TO market have not been fed into q
proper condition to make the best NUT
ton. This not only lessons the price it
is possible to realize, but also affects
the profits and tends 10 restrict con-
sumption. 1t is an exceptional case
with any kind Of stock when it can be
considered desirable to send to market
before they are fully ready, and espe-
cially SO at this season when 1t is COM
paratively easy with little care in
feeding to fully fatien for market.
With good pasturage a very little extra
feeding win fit an average sheep into
good condition for market Wool and

terrible misslles into the Alabama
with alarming precision and accuracy.
The effect soon began 10 tell aud the
Alabama began 10 settle. Cheer after
cheor resounded on the decks Of the
Kearsarge and enthusiasm grew more
lntence with every shot.
Seven times ronnd the vessels had
passed and they were on the eighth.
Suddenly the Alabama left the circle
and headed for French waters. The
Kearsargs pursued and with we'll de
rected aim hastened its sinking condi-
ton. Large ragged holes we're WISH
bIein the sides Of the Alabama through
which water rushed in torrents The
boat was clearly doomed Her colors
were struck and the Kearsarge ceased
firing. Two Of the junior officers,
however, who declared they would
not surrender rushed TO the port guns
and sent several shot at the Kear-
sarge. Commander Winslow ordered
another broadside, believing the strik-
ing Of colors mere trick. The Kear-
sarge took a position where il could
use grape and canister with terrible
effect, when a small white flag APP
peared over the stern Of the rebel
ship. For the second time firing was
ordered to cease. This ended the bat
tie, which had lasted one hour and
two minutes. Captain Semmes sent
away the wounded and those who
could not swim in the quarter boats,
and then with the remaining officers
and men jumped overheard He,
twelve other officers and twenty-six
men were rescued by the yacht Deer
hound, which was asked to save the
men by Captain Wlnslow, John Lam
caster, the owner Of the Deerhound,
then steamed for Southampton, and
thus il was that the thirty-three men
who were properly prisoners Of the
Kearsarge, and could have been Sc
cured, escaped the clutches Of the
United States government by meanes
Of the shelter Of a neutral flag.
The Alabama sunk soon after in
ffty-Rve fathoms of water, at a dis
lance Of four and a half miles from
from the breakwater. Suddenly as
suming perpendicular position,
caused by the falling aft Of the bat
terry and stores, strait as a plumb line,
stern first, she went down, the jib |
boom being the last to appear above
water. Down sank the terror Of mer-
chantmen, riddled through and
through, and as she disappeared to
her last resting place there was no
cheer; all were silent"
The Kearsarge fred 173 shot and
she'll; the Alabama about twice chat
many, yet the Kearsarge had only |
three men badly wounded, one Of
whom died later. The Alabama's loss
was heavy. The wounded Of the sur
vivors from the Alabama were taken
on board the Rearsarge and the lat
ter's boats and pilot boat rescued |
seventy men.
