PIG s!PIGs! PIGS!
n Circular Letter From the
Northern Pacific Freight
"a Department..

Under the above exciting hea dime
General Freight Agent Moore. of the
Northern Pacific railroad, communi-
Gates with the agents Of his COM
pany, and advances some good adj
vice to the farmers along the line.
The letter is as follows:
TO AGENTS: The potato crop in the
western states, owing to drought in
some Of them. fell far short Of sup
plying the large demands last year,
and potatoes became very scarce
during a brief period late in the fall,
causing a great advance OF price, in
consequence of which thousands Of
carloads were shipped in from Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and other
Pacific states.
The advanced price was an induce
ment for the farmers to plant a
larger quantity than usual this year;
therefore tits very evident chat there
will he Il large surplus OF potatoes
next fall, over and above all usual
demands, and unless the farmers
realize the condition and make ar
engagements to meet it, there will be
unnecessary waste and loss. We
are informed that parsnips, mangel-
wurzel beets, and other vegetable
roots will he grown to a consider
able extent this season, and that
these roots and potatoes boiled and
mixed with screenings and refuse
grain (wheat. barley or oats) fed to
pigs will produce very satisfactory
results.
1t is our desire to avert the threat
ened loss and turn itinto gain. thus
serving the farmers in two ways;
and with this in view we will under
take to induce several reliable live
stock dealers to go out on our road
and solicit orders for sows and pigs
at the lowest market price plus the
pro rata proportion Of the carload
freight rate; orders to be taken from
reliable farmers for delivery to them
Immediately after harvest. If farm
ers can club together and order
carload OF pigs to be delivered at one
station, a saving can he made in the
Price and freight rate. Hogs are
bound to command good price the
coming year.
You will please hand copy of this
to your nearest newspaper for pub
lication, requesting farmers who
usually market their grain and po-
tatOes through your station to adj
wise you as early as convenient the
number of bushels Of potatoes and
roots they expect to harvest under
favorable conditions; also to be care
ful not to purchase hogs through
any other than reliable dealers on
account OF the risk OF importing hog
cholera into the country. When ac-
cumulated in carload numbers they
can be held in quarantine until de-
termined free from disease.
II any other information on this
subject is desired they will please
correspond with me. 1t is hoped
that the farmers who have been do
ing business on a large scale and
raising hogs successfully will urge
! their neighbOrs to take hold of 1t
this season. The packing establish
ments here will always afford a
good market, and assure us they
will send buyers to buy them in
large or small numbers, according
to the supply of the individual farm
err, as soon as they can be collected
; in lots in one neighborhOod.

through the intervention Of

and it is supposed that since that
time the couple have not lived
very amicably together.

THE PURPOSE OF EDUCA-
TON.
Some Obstacles Met in Accom-.
plishing That Purpose.
GEO. ROBBINS.

We have considered the studies
which pertain to the practical and
the true. There remains another
important interest of mankind.
In the survey Of mans inner
nature and the studies which re.
late more particularly to it we find
group OF studies based upon
,eading. Writing is the auxiliary
of reading. They contain the
germs which develope, prepare
for the study of history, biography
literature and kindred studies.
These appeal to mans moral and
aesthetic natures.
History and biography appeal
more directly to the will but liter
ature appeals as strongly to the
will through the emotions. His
tory is particularly valuable in
inspiring civic pride, patriotism
and other qualities characteristic
of the individual as a member of
the city, the State or the nation.
1t affords innumerable instances Of
the fact that out Of the great
throng of humanity God is now
and evermore calling upon his
heroes to stand forth for truth and
Justice. 1t abounds with stories
which inspire youthful hearts to
deeds Of honor and right. 1t
treats more particularly OF the
associated effort Of individuals,
that is, organized communities. A
community or organization is a
body of individuals, each Of which
agrees to conform his will to def
mite form Of government or regu-
lation. Such conformity does not
enslave a man, but rather sets
him free from the chains of selfish
ness. He sees that corporation,
or a practical devotion of himself
to the good Of others lifts him
nearer to pleasure Of rational
freedom than he could occupy if
he were devoted to self interests
only.
The close student of history will
discover that its important lesson
ls-Hat truth and right eventually
all efforts for their SIP
preston. History shows in many
instances that immortality can not
result in advancing the cause of
truth and right. In the hands of
a teacher possessed of ethical in.
sight becomes valuable assistant
in moral culture.
On the part Of the child, history
is an unconscious study Of human
nature. He has made such un-
conscious study ever since he dis
covered himself as a being distinct
from other beings. The motives
and actions OF his playmates, their
pleasures, disappointments and
pains, their struggles, failures and
triumphs, have been of great in
terest, and their study Of great
p roht to the child. Nature pre-
pares the child's mind for the study
Of history, but the unskilled
teacher, who still dwells upon the
