Grinding Feed for Hogs.

We have many times urged the i'm
portance of this upon swine breeders.
A farm mill for this purpose is not
expensive, and neighbors growing such
few hogs could jointly use one. But
any one feeding hogs and various
other kinds of live stock in any con-
siderable numbers can we'll afford a
mill of his own, as all kinds of stock
are more profitable when fed with
meal instead of whole corn, wheat,
rye, barley or oats.
The american Ag,ieuIturist, touch
ing upon this subject as to hogs, says {:
"The feed for hogs, if gound, will
give enough better results than if fed
whole to amply repay the cost of
grinding. Much of the grain is wasted
when not ground. The hog eats hur-
riedly and does not thoroughly masti-
cate his food, especially where a num-
Der are together. Consequently
large portion OF the grain passes into
his stomach in condition unfit for
digestion, and fails to be assimilated.
With properly prepared food, the hog
will also be kept in a healthier con-
dition. The greatest cause of indi-
gestion-partially masticated grain
will be removed, and the animal will
be stronger and will fatten more rapidly.
Improper food is source of disease
among hogs which is overlooked by
farmers. If more attention were
given to proper preparation of the
food for hogs we would have much
less disease among the herd"

A Short Lay Sermon.

4 man is always better employed
in drying the tears of others than in
shedding his own. If the i'll fortunes
of life and business overtake compet-
itor a word of sympathy from you may
brighten his hopes and keep afoat his
business interests, while a blow from
YOU inflicted in malice and i'll will may
clog the wheels of his enterprise and
mar his ambition beyond recovery. 1t
will pay you, whether you are the
Kings cup bearer or wood newer,
to be and continue poor in honesty and
charity toward your fellow beings and
business competitors, while others
around you grow rich and powerful by
disloyalty and roll in the fabulous
millions of their i'll conceived gain. 1t
will pay you to live i'll cellar or the
corner of a housetop and lend your
days in healing the sick and down.
hearted. while others beg their way
upwards into palatial homes and spend
their days in idle luxury feasting on
the blood of their fellow beings.
1t will pay you to suffer the humble
ness of life unsung in historical VOL
umes and unknown and unhonored but
by a single eye. 1t will pay you to
seek a friend and your daily bread,
while Others cfinge and crawl for the
grasp of fame's hand and the sweet
draught of public nobility and honor.
Above all, it will pay you to thew
to the line and let the chips fall where
they may: If in such a course you
have grown gray bless God and give
up the ghost. You merit more than
earthly reward. You will have eaten
many small potatoes and smoked poor
cigars. You will be rewarded beyond
the riyer, not here.

Good Rules to Observe.

Every man who believes in his coun-
try and wants to promote the speedy
return of good times should resolve to
observe these rules:
Spread no evil reports, and believe
none until you have verified them at
first hand.
Look on the brightest side of every
event, whether it be the notice of a
bank suspension or the report of a
cholera ship arrived at quarantine,
and refuse to accept or repeat the
darkest version of it.
If you have money boarded and
owe debts, pay up those debts and put
SO much money in circulation.
If other persons owe you money and
you know they are solvent and honest
people who will pay if they are not
crowded and forced to realize their
assets at shameless sacrifice, don't
crowd them.-New York Recorder.

Have You ever s;. heard the wind go
IT'S pitiful sound to hear!
1t seems to chill you through and through
With strange and speechless fear.
It's the voice of the night that broods out
side
When folks should be ak2ep,
And many and manys the time I've cried
To the darkness that brooded far and wide
Over the land and deep:
Whom do you want, o lonely night,
That you wall the long hours through ?"
And the night would say in its ghostly way
" OOOOOOOO.

My mother told me long ago
(When | was a little lad)
That when the night was wailing so,
Somebody had been bad
And then, when | was snug in bed
Whittier | had been sent,
With the blankets drawn up round my
head,
I'd think of what my mother said
And wonder what boy she meant
And, 'WhO's been bad to-day?' I'd ask
OF the wind that hOarSely blew,
And that voice would;say in its awful way
"YOoOOOOoO

That this was true | must allow
You'll not believe it though
Yes, though I'm quite model now,
/ was not always so.
And if you doubt what things 1 say,
Suppose you make the test;
Suppose, wheE you've been bad some day
Aud up tn bed are sent away
From mother and the rest
Suppose you ask WHO has been bad %
And then you'll hear what's true
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest

Cut Straw and Eggs.
TPoultry Keeper.l

An old farmer who secures eggs all
through the winter, when asked for
his secret, replied that he gave his hens
plenty Of cut straw. For awhile, there
was much unbelief in the reply, as j,
was supposed that the farmer was
feeding Gu, straw to his hens accord
ing to his sta,ement); but when the
facts came out. it appeared that the
cut straw was really the secret, but
it was used, four inches deep, on the
floor of the poultry house, in which
millet seed and wheat were scattered
the hens thereby, being provided with
a warm place to work. The cut
straw grave them scratching bed and
it kept them in exercise, prevented
disease, and promoted the appetite.

Woman's Purity A Nations
Greatness"

The purity of woman is a nation
greatness. Look to the United States
and to England and see the cause OF
their power and greatness, and it can
be attributed to the purity of their
women. Then on the other hand look
to France, where marriage VOWS are
considered as little, and where the
purity of woman is hardly demanded,
where a wine seller in which to stow
away their wines is of more importance
than the virtue of their wives and
daughters.
Wherever Nation, State, county,
town or neighborhood fail to respect
the virtue of the women, and look
down to it instead of revering it, then
that Nation or State or county or
town or neighborhood is on the down
grade and it is only question of time
when it reaches the bottom, where it
will be abhorred by all good women
and men.
1t is hard, hard thing to build up
good reputation 1t takes life Of
devotion to principle, yet the lowest
whelp in all christendom can by his
foul mouth SANDER, soil the character
of the purest woman or the noblest
man. The man who would say any
thing that could in anyway injure
woman's character, is lower than the
cur dogs, as they will defend each
other from assaults. Lord help the
man who whould stoop so low as to
say harm against the sex that gave him
birth.
Hold woman's purity as high as you
do your religion.

RAISING DOGS.
A NEW INDUSTRY SUGGEST
ED,
There Is Money in the Business
---Some Interesting Facts Pro-
duced---Dogs as Farm Animals
and Beasts Of Burden.
Elizabeth City Economist Falcon.

Elizabeth City Economist-Falcon.l
We have had much to say OF new
industries that might be established in
our town that would be of great ben
eft to it and give employment to many
of our people who are dependent upon
their daily labor for their support.
We have devoted much thought and
much newspaper space to the subject.
But we are now on a new and
hitherto unsuggested industry-raising
dogs. We are in earnest. There's
money in dogs. There's usefulness in
dogs There's safety in dogs. There's
domestic happiness in dogs. There's
economy in the use of dogs. The cost
of raising one horse will raise forty
dogs, and forty dogs are worth more
than five work horses, will do ten
times as much work as horse in any
draft and can be kept at the same cost
as one horse and require less grooming.
A team of four dogs, when broken to
the plow, will do more work than a
horse and will have more intelligence.
In harness to cart four trained dogs,
of the proper breed, will pull 1000
pounds, ano are more manageable
than team of horses. In the town
of Liege, Italy, they use dogs alto
gether for transportation on their roads
and streets, and a trained dog will
pull 500 pounds and make more speed
than draught horse. They have COM
pletely supplanted horses as beasts of
burden. The success Of dog transpor-
tation in Liege is marvel. a horse
is not seen on the streets. Dogs are
seen everywhere, sometimes drawing
heavy loads, sometimes running with
great speed to empty carts adapted to
the dogs. Horses are raised for food
but not for draught purposes. A dog is
a much more intelligent working ami
NAL than horse. He is more kindly,
more tractable, more grateful for kind
ness and more devoted in his attach
ments. In his moral nature a dog is
a higher link of the animal creation
than man. He is a closer and more
unselfish friend, he beareth longer and
is kinder, and his attachment rises
superior to the blasts of adverse fort
une. He is the lost link in creation.
Had he the power of speech he would
take rank ahead of man in bravery, in
tenacity of friendship, in instructive
impulse, in endurance, in stick, and
perhaps in intelligence. In docility
he would be greatly superior to man.
We can not tell the amount of intelli
gence he would develop had he the
power of speech. Raise and train dogs
and you put your money in your
pockets. Raise and train dogs and you
will add to our new industries. Queen
Victoria has 60 pet dogs and she would
not have them unless there was some
thing in them. A dog is lesson of
happiness, of kindness, of unsel6shness,
of humanity. A man with 40 trained
dogs would need no advertisement of
his business in the newspapers, and
the chickens would be safe on his hen
roost at night in any community, and
he would have an impregnable fortress
around him against all his foes.
