STANDARD MEAT.
Pork Leads All Other Kinds in
the United States.
1T PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL

The Best Pork Made From Pigs Under
IA Year Old-They should be Given
Such Food as VIII Produce Muscle
and Lean Meat To Greatest Extent.
Pork is the standard meat food of the
farmer of this country, and perhaps al
ways will be, and it should be prepared
in such manner that it will be whole
some and palatable. To do this it is
necessary to begin with the pig that is
to be slaughtered and feed him judi
ciously. 1t is acknowledged that the
pork of European countries is more tooth
some than that of America, because it
contains less fat and is consequently of
better flavor and more digestible. The
old plan was to feed the hogs until they
were nothing but masses of fat, because
pork of this kind lasted longer than that
which would be more inviting to the
palate.
The best pork is of course that made
from pigs under year old, and these
should be given such food as will produce
muscle or lean meat TO the greatest pos
sibIe extent. 1t should not be the prin
cpal aim to produce fat at first, but to
feed such foods as will make growth and
keep the digestive organs in good condi-
ton. For this purpose a good grass
range is probably as good as anything,
and plenty of milk where it is obtainable
will be found to supplement the grass
in the production OF muscle.
II the pig is kept in thriving cond-
ton by course OF feeding OF this kind,
it will be ready to finish for the shambles
in q short time, when the slaughtering
season comes. Bran and shorts are good
things to feed growing pigs, us they are
rich in bone and muscle-forming ma
terial. A pig that is fed something after
this style will not produce as much lard
as one that is kept until year and a
half old, but the pork from it will be
sweet and wholesome instead OF greasy
mass that is prolific of disease and dis
tasteful at any time to refined taste

o,.u Rights Are Restored to All who

If defined the crimes of bigamy, polyg-
any and unlawful cohabitation in the

,ba Church of the Latter Day Saints,
oommonlv known as the Mormon
Church. through its President issued a
manifesto proclaiming that said church
No longer sanctioned the practice of po-
ivoamV and calling upon all mem bers and
edherents of said church to obey the

Whereas, January 4, 1898, Benjamin

He Disappeared Because He Was Worried
by His Stepdaughters.

by His Stepdaushters'
SAN Francisco, September 29.-The
long-lost, but now found, DIR. lyman
dined last night with Manager A. Mont
peller OF the Changers Bank. He con-
versed freely. and, as far as Mr.. Mont
peller could judge, was as rational as
any one could be. He has repeated fire.
quently his explanation as to the reason
for his mysterious sappearance-that
he was annoyed and worried by the suit
begun by his stepdaughters' and wished
togo away and rest. While in Boston
he assumed the name OF Thomas Il.
Stanley, combination of his own name
and that OF his attorney, John A. Stan
ley Of this city. Speaking of the suits
brought by his stepdaughters, he said:
when those girls were little, they
had all the advantages | could give them.
always treated them kindly, sent them
to school, had them taught music and
other accomplishments. One OF them
married young man who was not much
credit to himself or to anybody else.
Soon after the other one was married.
Everything went well then Tor awhile,
until | married my present wife. At
first they were tolerably good to her,
called her grandma and treated her
we'll; but finally they became jealous,
and whenever gave her anything they
objected, and it all ended with the suits
which they brought against me-"
Or. lyman will go to his former home
In Modesto within few days.
DR.. lyman does not believe that Slater,
the Spiritualist, was aided by spirits in
finding him. Slater said that the ghost
OF Maria Marvin lyman, the doctors
hrst wife, told him where to find the
missing man. lyman says Maria Marvin
lyman was his mother, not his wife, and
that he believes that Slater merely saw
him on the streets OF Boston and recog-
nized him, as any other man might have
done. lyman says he does not believe
In Spiritualism.

ROOTS OF FRUIT TREES.
Difficult to Break Away From an Old
Habit.


Habit.
While fruit-growers are aware now
that the roots of trees and plants extend
to great distance, still it is difficult to
break away from the old habit of manur-
ing about the trunks, trusting that some
how or other the fertilizer will be APP
propriated and fearing that if spread
broadcast it may in some way become
lost. 1t will be found difficult to place
manure in an orchard or vineyard where
the plants will not reach it, and if prop
erly spread will not be lost. Should it
sink into the subsoil root will follow it
and bring it back by the ear, as teacher
would truant schoolboy.
We have observed the roots of apple
trees in sand pits extending downward
ten feet. We recently followed the roots
of an old grape vine twenty feet under
the location OF a deunct building. When
we stopped digging the roots were as
large as little finger, were four feet be-
meath the surface and probably extended
ten feet farther. A pile Of manure about
the base of this vine would have done
but little good.
Knowing the extent and habit of root
growth, it is apparent that cultivation
close about the trunks of the trees or
vines is not necessary, and is often pro-
ductive of more harm than good in mar
ring and breaking, besides tempting pro-
family on the part of the plowman.-

SPRAYING ORCHARDS.



Since spraying the orchard is neces-
sity in order to produce understandable
fruit on large scale in all parts OF the
country, preparations to treat the trees
in proper manner should be made by
all owners of orchards, even though
small. In q district where lruit-growing
is merely side issue and quite subordi-
nate to the general farming interest it
may be inconvenient and perhaps ex-
pensive for each farmer to maintain an
efficient spraying outfit. In such cases
it will generally be found that by the
farmers of neighborhood clubbing to-
gether a spraying outfit sufficient for the
use of all may be obtained at small
cost to each, and that the work may thus
be done for all at no great expense.
What would be still better, however,
would be to offer adequate inducements
to some enterprsing young man in the
neighborhood to provide himself with
the necessary spraying apparatus and
materials for the required sprays and
then do the work for each orchardist rs
required at cost to be agreed upon. In
this way the work would almost certain
ly be done when needed, and would not
be Indefinitely postponed or inditierently
performed, as is so liable to be the case
when the small orchardist depends
wholly upon himself to provide the APP
planes and materials for spraying

FIRE UNDERwRITERS.


CHICAGO, September 30.-President
w. J. Littlejohn of the Underwriters
Association of the Northwest, who in an
address before the organization declared
the recent forest fires were ordered
started by the lumber kings in the inte-
rior, also stated mis- charges were based
on investigations made under his direc-
ton. "Those fires have occurred every
year" said Littleiohn. at was appar-
ent there must be some motive Tor the
incendiarsm. Our company accordingly
sent men up INTO Michigan and WiscOn-
sin this summer to make investigations,
and they received sufficient evidence to
satisfy me some big lumber dealers fired
the forests in order to hide the evidence
of their timber stealings. The evidence
is not sufficiently strong to warrant
charging any particular man with the
deeds. However, | am informed the
States of Michigan and Wisconsin have
appointed commissions to investigate
the fires. Until we know the results the
insurance organizations will do nothing.
There is possibility, however, in the
event of the failure OF these commits
sions TO develop the matter that some
insurance unions will take mp the prose-
cution themselves. ] am confident the
State authorities can secure all the eyl-
dence necessary, il they try"
