Care of Pigs.
The Care of Young Pigs" was the
subject Of paper by I. ]. Smith Of
Windsor. Col Barnett Of Logansport
read a paper on the advisability of rails
ing two filters from a SOW in one year.
The value of full filters was made the
theme Of a discourse by II. o. Boyd Of
Rushville.
At this point It was evident that the
business Of the association could not be
finished during the afternoon, and upon
session. The remaining subjects Tor dis
cussion were, therefore, postponed until
last night.
The number Of hogs required to consti-
tute a herd for exhibition at fairs was
discussed informally, and by request the
president appointed a cOmmitte to draw
up some recommendations sOr sugges-
lions to fair associations on the subject.
Three, instead of four sOws, it was
thought were enough for a herd. :
committee was also appointed to draft
memorials on deceased members.
The Swine-breeders' association elect
ed the following officers at Fridays
session:
President-Thomas NJ. MINIS Of
Mohawk.
Observation-Disclosures Riley Of Thorn
town.
secretary-Cott Barnett Of Logans-
port.
Treasurer-B. w. Harvey Of Blooming
ton.
Executive Committee J. Smith OF
Windsor. r. S. Bratten Of New Ross
and r. II. Berry of Rushville.
The committee to which was referred
the matter Of revising the premium list
and rules governing the swine depart
ment reported, suggesting that the rules
governing herds be made as follows:
/ Age herds shall consist Of one boar
and three sows over one year old, to be
Cvued by the exhibitor.
, Young herds shall consist OF one
boar and three sOws under one year old,
TO be owned by the exhibitor.
Resolutions were passed deplOring the
death Of T. NJ. Reveal and J. II. Belvit
who were members OF the association.
The only subject discussed during the
evening was the raising Of pigs. Ii was
led by S. NJ. Shepherd of Indianapolis.
Mr.. Shepherd is as successful as a swine
breeder as he is as lawyer and his
views were considered as Of much value
by the association.
A number Of recommendations were
made to the fair associations concern
ing the classifcations Of exhibits. The
association adjourned to meet next
January in connection with the congress
Of industrial associations.

The great value OF Hoods Sarsaparilla

understood, for it is not in numbers nor
IN blgness of a carcass that appeals TO
the Buffalo or Philadelphia mutton mar
ket, nor the judges in the show ring.
1t is quality of flesh and fleece that calls
down the money from the East. Uni
tormity OF size, well marbled with fat
ana flesh is the feast for an epicure, and
IN spite of all your tariff legislation
there is market for quality.
And the same fact will apply to wool.
1t is the reliable quality well prepared
and established in the market. Once it
IS known that what you have is the
best that can be had, price does not in
terfere. This theory came from practice
and men who are on top are not forever
experimenting to produce a new and bet
ter type, superior to our royal thorough
breeds which represent the skill and
years Of intense anxiety Of the founders
of failure and success. One year the
means employed proved judicious and
answered the highest anticipation, the
next year perhaps great disappointment
and almost discoura cement, but pluck
and determination finally overcame and
the world pronounced the new breed a
great success. It is done by first fixing
in the mind a type and breeding to it
regardless Of expense, until one ram is
like another and no matter upon what
they are crossed they leave an individual
impress.
"Such discrimination in breeding for
wool or mutton would soon revolutionize
our markets, encourage consumption and
the mutton industry would not be for
ever bowling with her sore toe.
The breeder who has nerve and con-
tinuity enough to keep up the English
reputation of any popular breed is the
winner in the end. 1 assert that the pro-
clivity Of our American fiock-master to
run the gamut from wrinkles and horns
to snuffles and legs is the greatest i'm
pediment the sheep industry has ever
known.

Changing Phases.

Changing Phases.
THE changing phases of sheep indus
try are distasteful and more should be
said TO prevent the changes than how to
perform them successfully. There is a
demand for every breed and breed for
every demand. 1 would urge a close ad-
herence to one breed cultivated to its
highest perfection. Though the present
may be unpromising, time is a critic that
meets our equity, and if we must wait
it can't be long until the right will kill
the wrong and the pure blood will have
the victory
Papers on the technical subjects of
selecting a lamb to head the flock,
breeding and feeding for mutton
and scab in sheep were read, and the
convention adjourned until today, when
officers viii be elected and an adjourn
ment taken.
Upon motion the following resolution
was read and adopted:
Resolved, That we extend an invita-
ton TO all those attending the industrial
associations Of Indiana to meet together
Wednesday morning at 1880 o'clock in
room u, state house, TO discuss the effect
that the proposed tariff legislation would
have on our industries.
Resolved, That a committee Of two
be appointed to present a copy of these
resolutions to each organization now in
session"
The Indiana wool growers associa-
ton ended its work Wednesday morn
ing and adjourned. BY invitation the
wooden goods manufacturers, in session
in another room, held a joint meeting
with the wool growers. A number of
addresses were made. c. B Stevenson
n
reduction in the tariff on wool, while
G. 3. Rowland argued that free wool
would do away with the sheep and
wool industry A number of speeches
were made strongly contradicting this
position and some able arguments were
adduced in support. c. F. Darnell
stated that in 1892 there had been 50. 600
sheep sold at the Indianapolis stock
yards, while in 1898 there had been over
$4,000.
The following resolutions were writ
ten, proposed and warmly supported by
a small coterie of republican politicians
and railroaded through with considera-
bic opposition, however:
Whereas, A tariff bill has been in
troduced in congress known as the Will
son bill, which grossly discriminates
against the farming interests by placing
on the free list twerty-nine of the fin
ished products of the farm, which are
now protected by fair and equitable
duties. and also making a large reduc-
ton in the duties now properly assessed
on twenty-one other finished products
Of the farm, therefore be it
Resolved, That we denounce said
Wilson bill as unjust, unwise and I'M
called for, and we invite farmers every
where, from Maine to California, to join
US in denouncing the Wilson bill, and,
regardless Of former party affiliations,
to join us in pledging ourselves to vote
against any man who shall vote for or
favor the Wilson bill or any similar
bill"
The following officers were elected:
President-J F. Tomlinson, Falkland.
Vice-President-C. i. Darnell, Indian
apolis.
Secretary. W. Robe, Greencastle.
Treasurer. L. Thompson, Marion.

Midwinter Fair Aftermath.

The Miiwinter Fair. San Francisco, CAL.
Is now being dismantled, and in few weeks
only the Fine Arts Building will remain.
Although the weather was bad throughout
most OF the life Of the Fair. an although
the great strike prevented the large at
tendance which was expected in the closing
days, yet the managers are able 10 report
that the finances are satisfactory. After pay
ing all obligations, the Executive COMMITTEES
will have enough money left to put the
grounds in fine condition and perhaps buya
few works OF stntuary with which to orna-
ment them. The total attendance was Il
tritie over $500, ,000 which was far in excess
Ut the most sanyuine expectations. The
plan Is to retain the grand court, with the
fine artificial stone sidewalk and driveway
surrounding it. and to make this part OF
great mall, with il han istand at this end un-
der the shelter OF Strawberry Hill. The art
Building, which is Of slon". will be retained,
and will form Il picture gallery AMI museum:
1t Is probabl.. that the bronze cider press,
which attracted so muca attention Il Chi
cago. will be purchased and placAd on the
grounds.

NAIL IN HORSES FOOT,

Any kind of punctured wound re-
qulres special treatment, because
healing of any wound must begin at
the bottom oft, and if otherwise the
diseased matter in the wound will be-
come inclosed in it, and must break
out in time in some way or another.
Thus, an incompletely healed wound
will in time become an abscess that
may give much trouble, especially in
the foot, which, being enclosed in its
horny covering, affords no escape for
the pus formed, and this burrows
among the tissues, forming a fstula,
or spreading SO that the bones of the
foot become diseased and the horse is
ruined. The first thing to be done is
to remove the nail, if it or a part of it
remains in the foot, then to enlarge
the opening and reach the bottom, in
jecting some active liniment or other
stimulant, and keeping the opening
free for the escape of pus until the
healing advances to the surface, when
a simple protection to the sore will be
sufficient until the healing is COM
pleted. Care is to be exercised to
keep the wound clean by frequent in-
jections of warm water with few
drops of carbolic acid in it, and if the
foot is inhamed, poultices are to be
used. The entrance of sand OF grit
into the wound is to be strictly
avoided. National Stockman.

USE OF GRAIN CHAFF,

. Without doubt the cultivated grains
owe their preservation from entire
destruction to the chaff in which they
are enclosed. Now man takes care of
the seed grain it would seem that the
chaff is, less necessary. But it serves
a purpose in keeping the grain from
drying too rapidly, and thus germinat-
ing before its time or from becoming
too wet and rotting. When damp
grain is put in the NOW or stack the
more chaffy it is the less likely it is to
injury. Two or three years ago,
while neighbor was threshing some
oats that had been stacked too green,
we saw curious sight. The oats were
bound by the harvesting machine.
Where each band passed around the
bundle, the straw was rotted through
out. 1t would be supposed that the
oats would be injured, either by
sprouting or by rotting. But the
chaft had kept the grain sound, and it
was not even stained by the mass of
moisture surrounding it. These same
oats when threshed and divested of
their chaff had to be shovelled once
each day for a week or more to pre-
vent them from heating. Boston

SOURCE OF HAPPINESS.

You might wear crown; but a guilty con.
science would line it with thorns; you might
roll in wealth, but an accusing conscience
would haunt you like demon; you may
launch into the pleasures Of the world, but
conscience will register every deed and fore
tell day of reckoning. Milton has put the
deepest philosophy into the mouth OF the
arch-fend, when he exclaims:
1.-The mind ip its own place, and OF itself,
Can make hell of heaven, heaven Of hell.
We all seem rather to inhabit ourselves,
than dwell anywhere else The world within
Is our home and constant abode. Our
thoughts are our mansions, our food, our
wealth and inheritance. Everything is viewed
through the medium of thought. Here, the
present world, the world to come, ourselves,
our foes, and the Deity are reflected. sur
yeyed and contemplated, and hence, to have
peace in heaven. When oil is tranquil
around. the mind may he like the troubled
sea and on the contrary, the last thunders
may roar, the earth quake, and the heavens
dissolve and melt with fcrvent heat, and yet
the soul fur from feeling the least alarm may
exult and sing. Nor need we wait for our
happiness till death has unlocked the portals
of bliss. Why not be happy now ? To walk
by faith, and serve our generation according
to the will of God. will enable US to realize no
small amount of blessing. Parsons.

PACKING BUTTER IN SMALL DIARIES.

Creamery butter has an advantage
of uniformity over that produced in
small private diaries. The dairy
churning is large, the cream has been
ripened all together uniformly; the
churning is all made at one time, and
hence the entire butter product for
that day is of UNIFORM flavor, texture
and color. A tub can be filled at one
time, and the merchant who buys or
sells it will find the butter exactly the
same in quality from top to bottom
of the tub.
In the small private dairy every
churning. of course, is OF even quality
of product, but one days product is
sometimes not large enough to fill
tub; and hence the different days
churnings required to complete the
filing are likely to show some diff
erence in color and general quality,
and therefore the butter will not
grade evenly in the tub. and this lack
of uniformity results in lower price.
In reality, the butter from the small
dairy may be as good, fresh, and pos
sibly better article than the other,
but this lack of uniformity detracts
from it's marketable value where but
ter is graded by experts.
Butter from these small dsiries
should be sold in prints Of one pound
each. If cream separator is used in
the small private dairy, and the cream
ripened day by day at the same tenn
perature, the butter is likely to be of
a more uniform quality, and will grade
uniformly, the same as the cream cry
article; but rs a rule, comparati, ely
few small dalries use the separator.
The farm butter may be sold to ad-
vantage in small packages OF from one
to five pounds. American Agricul.

Died for His SuperStitiOus Faith.

"That reminds me of an instance of
blind superstitious faith on the part
of New Mexican Indian which wit
messed away back in the '7Os. 1t was
lust after one Of the annual snake
dances, in the course OF which rattlers
are handled with absolute impunity,
probably because the priests had
previously removed the fangs. A re-
ward for Jealous dancing is impunity
from death from snake bites for ex-
actly twelve months, and the man 1
refer to showed his faith in the
promise by getting bit. He was show
ing a party composed of myself and
three other men q short cut across
country, and as we were travelling
along an almost hidden trail we came
across an enormous rattlesnake. We
were for killing it right away, but the
red guide implored us not to, saying
that the death Of the snake would
break the charm over him. While
arguing with us he deliberately trod
on the snake with his moccasined feet
to show us that he could not be in
jured by it. In an instant the snake
had planted it's venom into the feshy
part of his leg. We gave the animal
q wide berth and resumed the journey.
The Indian sang happily for while,
then became strangely quiet. He
lived rather longer than an average
white man would have done under the
circumstances, but as we had no
remedies with US nature took it's
course, and he died before the sun
went down. "-Globe- democrat.

CONSCIENCE,

Conscience is God within US, 1t is mans
best friend, or his dreadful enemy. Where
ain has made it an enemy, 1t haunts q man
everywhere. He has no power to resist it,
and he lies perpetually at its mercy. 1t is a
fame kindled in his soul, which inwardly
torments and consumes him. 1t is viper
which winds about his heart, and stings him
In the tendereat places. tits hungry vul-
ture, q never dying worm. which secretly
preys upon his vitals and fills him with agony
and dismay. But where conscience Is en-
lightened and obeyed, it friend indeed-a
friend at home-an inward, intimate, truly
bosom friend.
II never deserts US even in the greatest ex-
tremity, and this friendship OF conscience Will
compensate for the enmity OF worlds. He
who has friend In his own heart possesses
the most solid ground of consolation and
peace. In the midst OF storms, encomPassed
with dangers, oppressed with SORROWS, loaded
with undeserved reproach involved on all
sides with impenetrabl- gloom, he still en-
ioys inward, unutterable peace and serenity
of spirit, which the world knoweth not of.and
conscious of integrity, his heart is at rest,
trusting in God.
