PIG PEN POINTERS.

SHUT in the young pigs early at night
and keep them in late on the cold morn.
ingS 5..
MAKE the brood sows as comfortable
as possible. All swine are noticeably
sensitive to changes in the weather.
Pres are better off to have something
to do, and their time is not worth any
thing. They are healthier with some
thing to do.
WHILE fixing fence fix the pig pas
ture. 1t will do more.for your pork, If a
good grazing field, than any other work
you bestow.
Now BE on the outlook for choice
pigs that will bring good litters. Raise
them on liberal feed. develop them aud
stint them early and You won't be far
astray.
BRIsrLEs has decided that he will get
more money this year for the same
weight of pork than it brought last
season, as he will cure it and sell it in
neater cuts and more attractive pack
ages
If you have made the pigs grow we'll
over winter kill them this spring. and
start with more growers. Young pork
chould bring good price, and there is
more money in growing your pork than
in making it on corn
To INCREASE the interest of the boys
on the farm give each of them pig.
Let them compete in feeding. Give
them good books and papers on swine.
and in the fall let all pork be dressed
at the same age. Invite neighborhood
boys and let the youngsters stick and
dress their own animalA Jour.

How Mark Twain's story Dore Fruit ON .

A young man of athletic frame and
we'll dressed boarded Madison street
car at Dearborn the other morning.
The car was well filed with other pas
sengers and he complacently forced
himself into a space next the stove and
started putting "a large and obnoxious
cigar. The conductor was one of the
most bulky Of Mr.. Ycrkes' night
agents, and as he walked through the
car to collect his fares he stopped be-
fore the young man and muttercd:
II don't want you to smoke in this
car"
Don't you." was the reply. lyon
evidently don't like smoking. You
ought to cultivate the habit, it is very
healthful."
There was an air of impending con-
quest about the young man that showed
he had been reading Mark Twain's
clever story of his "Trip with Re-
former" That he had profitcd by the
story was evidenced by the remainder
of the colloquy and its result.
The conductor rang up few more
fares and returned to the charge
Come" he said, smoking is not al
lowed in here
Indeed" coolly replied the young
man, as he blew a white ring into the
face, "that's too bad" and
he continued smoking.

smoke came from his lips. "Yol see
what ridiculous position you are
placed in. You tell me can not smoke
in this car. do smoke in this car.
You quote an order of the company
that you are wholly unable to enforce.
You are simply helpless. You might
be able physically to eject me. but you
would hardly care TO do that, would
you?'
The conductor stared blankly At tho
speaker. then hopelessly At the amused
and walked slowly back to
the rear platform.

condition just underneath and COM

This is shown in Fig. 2, where it is
seen that although the upper edges Of
the furrow slices have been narrowed
down smooth and mellow, they still
rest on their edges underneath. thus
leaving a succession of cavities under
the surface of the whole field. In fact,
the soil left in that condition is prac-

its connection with the subsoil is near

very imperfect, resting, as it does, on
the edges of the inverted sod. The re

FLAVOR OF MEAT.
The Character of the Food Has Much 60

do with IL.
The character of the food has much
to do with the flavor of the flesh. milk.
fat or even the eggs of animals. says
the New York Times When cows are
permitted, in pursuit of depraved and
diseased appetite, to consume the litter
thrown out Of the horse stables it
makes the milk unfit for butter or
cheese, although the person who per-
mits this may have his own taste SO
blunted as to fail to recognize the flavor
of the manure in the milk or cream he
pours into his coffee or tea. Only the
purest kinds of food are permissible in
the dairy or poultry yard, and eggs are
so sensitive to the havors Of the food
that those of hens fed on fish will have
the ranlsest kind of taste. and much
more SO if they are allowed to feed on
the manure of the cows.
This applies to the feeding of pigs for
pork. Boiled potatoes and barley meal
make the finest favored bacon. The
mast Of chestnut and oak forests gives
a peculiar flavor to the meat that some
persons think very desirable Pea-fed
pork is harder than that fed on corn,
while that made from the mast of the
beech or from other oily nuts is soft
and oily and wastes in the cooking.
Milk-fed pork is white, but hard and
dry. The milk should be fed with
buckwheat bran or meal to avoid this
hardness Of the lean meat But the
flesh of pigs fed on clover pasture
through the summer and fatted on
mixed oats and peas for four weeks
after leaving the pasture will be found
excellent in every way and distinctly
strcaky, having the fat and lean well
intermixcd. This is the perfection Of
pork, while a mass of fat on a mere
streak OF lean, hard and dry, is the
very worst
