FAN Pigs.

VI the different kinds OF stock
on the farm hogs are paying a bet
ter profit now than any other
With Fall pigs, if fair profit is
realized, it will be necessary to feed
them in such way as to maintain
steady growth. Whenever a
young animal of any kind is kept
on the farm and does not make
growth enough to pay for the feed,
the animal is adding to its cost
without giving any returns. Young
pigs wintered on the keep-alive
plan are rarely profitable. Keep
the SOW in good condition first, as
this is essential in securing thrifty,
vigorous pigs. Three or four days
after narrowing or after her milk
comes we'll begin increasing her ra
ton, feeding her three times day
until she is given all that she will
eat Remember that sucking of
lot of pigs is a heavy drain upon
her vitality, and as the pigs grow
this drain increases, so that liberal
feeding is necessary.
Let her ration be a good milk
producing one. Wheat middlings,
bran, oil meal, ground oats, with
some corn meal, made into a slop
with milk forms one of the best
milk-rations for sow, corn alone
is too heating and fattening, al
though at this time and on through
the Winter it can be used with
other materials to good advantage,
1t is quite an item to feed the
sow regularly and literally and
with a good variety. There is
usually no difficulty in keeping
her with a good appetite ii care is
taken to supply necessary sanitary
conditions. Have the quarters dry
and warm where they eat and sleep,
but give the pigs a good range, as
growing pigs will keep healthier
and thriftier if allowed at least a
reasonably good range than if
closely confined. Where there are
only one or two sows with pigs and
they are kept separate from the
other hogs the pigs will soon learn
to eat out of the trough with the
SOW. AS soon as they show dis
position to eat the sow's rations
should be gradually increased, SO
that the pigs may have full sup
ply. If the pigs get well started to
growing while the weather is pleas
ant it will be much easier to keep
them growing, but if they get stunt
ed now it will be hard for them to
get a good start through the Win
ter.
Let them have plenty OF room in
their quarters to eat and sleep, feed
regularly and determine t.e guam
tity by the condition OF the pigs,

FARM Notes.


The principal item in raising
early lambs for market is to mature
a fine animal of good size as early
as possible. In doing this it is
necessary to give the lambs a good
start. They must be vigorous and
healthy. The ewes must be able to
supply them with plenty of whole
some, nutritious milk. Their quar-
tiers must be dry and comfortable
in order to secure a vigorous growth.
A lamb, like any other young ami
NAL, is easily stunted during its
early growth, and if stunted no
after treatment will entirely eradi-
cate the effects. In most cases the
shelter can be built to a better adj
vantage now than later, and in case
there are cold, wet storms early in
the season, the ewes can have the
benefit of it.
A cold, wet storm is always in
furious to sheep. The fleece holds
so much water and takes so long to
dry out that it INJURIES the general
health, if it does no worse.
Another advantage in sheltering
the ewes is the lessened cost of
keeping them in good condition.
The shelter need not be expensive.
The principal item is to have it
warm, dry and roomy. Sheep will
not bear crowding, neither will
they stand close confinement for
any length of time. Hence, it will
be best to arrange the shelter so
that when the weather will permit
the door can be left open, SO that
the sheep can run in and out.
1t is best to have wide sliding
doors, so that there will be no dan
ger of the doors shutting on any of
the sheep and they will not injure
themselve, crowding through in
their hurry to go in or out, If the
roof is tight and good drainage is
provided, with plenty of bedding,
it is easy 10 keep dry under foot.
rne racks and troughs should be
arranged conveniently, both for
eating and feeding. There should
he sufficient length so that all can
eat without crowding and each
sheep g its share of the food.
With comfortable quarters and
feed to keep in good condition,
here l. little risk of loss in having
the lambs in January, and if the
ewes ar. we'll fed, so as to be able to
supply plenty of milk, the lambs
will grow well from the start.
1t is qnite an item to have the
lambs ready for market early and
in good condition, and if this is to
be done it will be necessary to push
the growth from the start. A good
variety of food is an item in secur-
ing good growth at low cost.
Bran and oil meal are good feeds to
give, with corn, oats and good hay,
to enable the ewes to give plenty of
milk. 1t is nearly always best to
feed the breeding ewes, especially
those that are expected to lamb
early, more or less grain after cold
weather sets in, and this should be
variety rather than any one ma
terial.

The Fastest Train.
Nondon Daily Telegraph

Mr.. W. G. H. Church of Northhampton
writes: The distance from New York to
Chicago, as traversed by the PENNSYLVANIA
Qimited), is not $40 miles, but 913 only. This
reduces the average speed from "A to Az
miles an hour. The best long distance train
in this country is the p. m. from Euston.
covering $40 miles to Aberdeen in 11h. Som.
This is an average of As 2-3. including stops
or As without them, and the second half of
the journey is over much billy ground. For
short distances one of the best is Kings
cross to Sheffield. 1852 miles, in Oh. l0n..
which gives 81 miles an hour with stops.
and 521a without. If speed, weight,
gradients and distance be all taken into
consideration, there is nothing to beat the
West Coast Edinburgh express. Leaving
Edinburgh at 10. Is, it reaches Willesden
junction in Sh. l5m.. 3941a niles, thus averag-
ing An miles an hour with stops, and over
so without.
AS regards maximum speeds seventy miles
an hour is ofdally occurrence. For instance,
there is scarcely an express leaving at st.
fancras which does not attain seventy or
over every day in the week between the
thlrty-hfth and forty-ninth miles from Lon
don. The Leeds expresses, in particular,
generally attain a maximum of about
seventy-five during the last four or five
miles OF this decline, and register speeds of
seventy-e1ght, eighty and even eighty-two
miles. The latter have registered on more
IMAM one occasion not merely here, but
down snap on the Northwestern, without
experiencing the least extra degree of oscil-
lion.

THE TIPPING SYSTEM.

''Then, too think the system of tipping
the employees of the company should be dis
continued. 1t is small matter in the in
dividual case. but it is an eXtortion to pay
the porter for each trip you take. The
trouble is that these men are not paid
enough by the company. If they were paid
adequate salaries the passengers would not
be obliged to come forward to help them
out. 1 really think the men need the money
in most cases, and always give because
do not want to feel or to appear mean about
the matter. There is a sort of compulsion
about it, though, that is very disagreeable,
and it could all be aovided.
."These points, of course, are all to be
gone over by the committee on interstate
commerce, which will probably take up the
matter as soon as Senator Butler returns
from the south. do not know how long
he will be gone but know that this matter
has already met with the approval of large
majority of the Senate. There is one matter
that should not be overlooked in this con-
sideration The main patents on these
sleepers have expired. and there is no rea-
on why the railroad should not begin now
to take and run their own cars. was ac-
quainted with the original inventor of the
obliged to sell out to the Pullman Company
and they held the monopoly with great
care. The first patents have now, l believe,
run out, and although the Pullmans have
taken out letters for some improvements,
I think it would be perfectly easy for the
monopoly to be broken. In the case of the
New York Central there is a corporation
within corporation. The Wagner Company
is composed of members of the Central Com
pany, and the rates remain the same, SO that
the public does not get the benefit of the in
dependence of the Central from the Pullman
people in the least. This will always be I'M
til the government takes hold and regulates
the rates.
'Englishmen have often expressed their
surprise to me that we endure the limited ac-
commodations of the sleepers They think
that our night cars are very uncomfortable
Of course, in England, where the territory
is very small, there is little or no night
travel, and SO sleepers are almost un-
known. On the continent, too there is lit
tie use for the night cars, for most of the
travel is by short routes, by tourists who
travel from town to town on trips that &C.
cupy only few hours Commercial agents
are the only people nearly, who use the
sleepers, which are built on somewhat the
same pattern as ours.
81 think that this abuse can be reached
and propose to press this matter to some
sort of conclusion. 1t seems to me that the
American people have suffered uncomplain-
ingly long enough, especially as there is
remedy at hand"

SLEEPING CAR RATES.
Senator Sherman Denonnces the Pullman
Company Monopoly.
washington Star.]

Senator Sherman struck a chord that will
probably vibrate in the hearts of the whole
public when he introduced his resolution in
the Senate yesterday directing the COM
mittee on interstate commerce to investi-
gate the subject of rates and regulations for
sleeping and parlor cars. Coming coincident
with the great strike in the west the mat
ter is of unusual interest and a Star report
er sought the Senator this morning to ask
him for his views on the subject. Mr.. Sher-
man was enjoying the breeze of an electric
fan in his library when he said ''good morn
ing'' to the reporter and began to talk en-
Enthusiastically about the resolution, which
passed the Senate yesterday unanimously.
''This NATTER" he said 'has no reference
whatever to the strike that is now in prog
ress in the west. 1t is something that 1
have been thinking about for a long time,
and have talked with my colleagues in the
Senate sufficiently to find that they are in
hearty sympathy with my effort to cause
a reform il the rates charged by the Pull
man and other sleeping car companies.

is outrageous for us to be compelled to pay
such high prices for such poor accommoda-
tions as we receive in our trips to and from

that in many cases one would rather sit up

berth and no one has the upper the porter
insists upon putting down the lid and so in
creasing your misery rather than giving you
the benefit of the air. do not know why
this is so, unless it is an effort on the part
of the company to make their prestige all
the greater and the more uncomfortable.

TWO MONOPOLIES.

81 regard the Pullman Company and
sugar trust as the most outrageous monop-
lies of the day. They make enormous profits
and give their patrons little or nothing in
return in proportion. 1t is perfectly clear
to me that there is a way to reach the sleep
ing car problem with ease through govern
ment action. States have in many instances
adopted regulations intended to reduce the
evil of extortionate charges on the railroads
but there are few, if airy railroads that run
sleepers through but one state, and thus
these laws are of no avail, for no state can
regulate any corporation beyond its own
limits. For instance, in Ohio we make an
effort to control this matter, but the rail-
roads have always found a way to avoid the
law. The United States can easily control
the charges for sleepers, just as the railway
fares have been regulated by means of the
interstate commerce law. believe that that
act has been amply enforced, without very
much trouble, and 1 can see no reason why
a similar act should not be passed with re-
ference to the sleeping car problem. A
bill of dozen lines would suffice, fixing
the rates per mile to be charged by these
companies and providing a penalty for
er-charging.
L GHink Tie fdGeS SQOulu D0 roQuCoQ just
one-half. The Pullman Company, for in
stance, is very rich, made SO by the enor-
nous and disproportionate profits on their
cars. With half that profit the company
could make great deal of money and give
the public better service. Perhaps you do
no know, but it is nevertheless a fact, that
the Pullman Company charges each railroad
running its cars cent mile for every car,
and this goes into the pockets of the Pull
mans in addition to the rates paid by the
passenger. For instance, between New York
and Chicago the railroad pays about $40
for each sleeper run, and the Pullman Com
pany gets several times that SUM addition
from the public. That $40 paid by the rail
road is counted into the running expenses
of the road, and is eventually paid for his
ride. So the traveller pays twice, in reality,
for this questionable accommodation on
board sleeper. 1 feel these heavy rates
myself frequently for when we go out to
our home in Ohio we have to pay, for my
wife, my daughter and myself as much for
sleeper rates for the entire railroad fares
The Derths are so close and uncomfortable
that we have to spread out over a good deal
of space in order to avoid being made ill by
the journey.
