Gelding Hogs,

Except with those selected out either
to keep for breeders or to sell to Others
for this purpose, there is no possible ad-
vantage i'll allowing this operation to be
delayed at the outside more than two
months after narrowing, while in many
cases one month old would be better.
The younger the pigs are when the op-
GRAFTON is performed the less the liabili-
ty to loss and really the less suffering
occasioned. Then if the mark is delay
ed there is the other risk Of perniciouS
breeding. Young. vigorous thrifty, we'll
fed pigs often do service when very
young. and this is another reason for
performing the operation early.
Moderate weather is rather the more
favorable, neither too hot nor too cold.
Yet if care is taken the operation can
be done at any time without loss. If the
weather is cold, a warm, dry bed must
be provided. with good feeding. If the
pigs are inclined to bury themselves in
their bed and not come out when fed,
care should be taken to start them out.
Many a stunted runt gets the start from
being allowed TO bury itself in a pile Of
bedding and to miss its meals for a
time or two. The longer it lays the
less inclined it will be to get out, and
a pig will starve itself to death rather
than turn out Of a warm bed on a cold
day. But if made to get ou and eat
whenever it shows an inclination to re.
main in bed it can readily be kept
thrifty.
In performing the operation make
the outs sufficiently low to admit OF
thorough drainage, and in cutting the
cords make a ragged cut rather than &
smooth one, as this lessons very mate
rally the bleeding. Vaseline is one O.
the best ointments that can be used
Ordinarily oile application will be al
that is necessary, and this can be given
when the operation is performed. Al
things considered, the best time is whel
the pigs are about IA month old. There
is less risk, and the pigs will mind i
less than at any time later. -Southerl

Habit.

Take a young man who has been living
civilized all through his youth and com
pei him to subsist on restaurant fare for
two or three years, and you make him a
d~yspeptio, a hopeless martyr or a married
man.
file becomes so accustomed to reading
the column beginning small steak, sir
loin steak, extra s~irloin," etc, and end
ing with SQUAD" which is always out,
that when he gets into a place where he
doesn't have to order his food and wait for
it he becomes wholly irresponsible.
One of these young men was recently
invited to take dinner with a friend who
lived in a suburban town. He accepted
with an alacrity that was not understood
until he began on the dinner.
The old passion for home cooking
was so strong that he ate voraciously and
long, to the amazement and delight of the
hostess.
He complimented everything that vas
served and asked himself the question,
which has never yet been answered, Why
can't they do things this way in a restau-
rant?"
AS he and his friend We're chatting over
the coffee he began to tumble around his
saucer as if in search of something.
What are you looking for?' asked the
friend.
The check"
Then he remembered where he was and
wished he could disappear through the
floor. He says he will rehearse before in
vading another private family.-Chicago

likely TO justify the claim OF North
Carolina, the birthplace or its inven-
tor to the rank of "hrst in war" and
probably also "first in peace" since
the dread Of gun capable of moving
on pivot at any angle and firing
twelve hundred shots TO the minute is
a strong argument in favor of peace.
The pose of some Of the figures OF
soldiers in full uniform in this ex-
hibit is quite life-like and the same
may be said Of the horses and Indians,
while the quality of the boots worn by
these "dummies" affords strong temp

torial staff was on the field during the
three days celebration at Chattanooga;
therefore these words are the result of
careful observation unbiased by sec
tional prejudice. The South is ready
and willing to do its part toward heal
ing the breach that exists, but as long
as the North persists in its patronizing
attitude and breaches the doctrine of
we ''holier than thou the consum-
nation of the era of good feeling must
still remain in the distant future. We
left the South after the war despoiled
of all its wealth and of the cream Of
its population; we left them to them
selves to regain their strength and re-
cover their scattered resources as best
they might. We did not once offer
them helping hand. We have done
nothing to restore their prosperity; we
have sent them no money. We have
done little to help them educate their
population of dependent negroes.
The South may have sinned; its sins
were those of commission. We too,
have sinned, selfishly and arrogantly,
but our sins have been those of heart
lessness and inexcusable omission.
Let US stop this patronizing. Let US
t.eat Southern people as brothers who
only made little mistake which we
! are willing and eager to forget. 1t is
our duty to be generous aud helpful,
for nowhere is the flag of our nation
more truly honored or more zealously
guarded than among the people who
once tried to reject it. The people
of the South are noble, patriotic and
true. Let them see that we can be as
generous in victory and prosperity as
they have been courageous and strong
in misfortune and defeat.

The Chicago anarchists last Monday
night held their annual meeting in COM
memoration of the hanging Of the Hay
market bomb throwers. Among those
who took part, though they we're not on

licemen. At the first indication Of in
cendiary language on the part of the
regular orators, the police spoke their
little piece to the effect that the time
was at hand when such talk would no
longer be tolerated in Chicago and it
was needed. This seems to have been an
eminently proper proceeding on the part
Of the authorities. Liberty does not

late sixties, but since then has attained
an almost national reputation, and he
deserves it. He has always been con-

same, the suggestion of fortune has
turned him into the ranks of the pre-
varicators. Should he have at his dis.
posal $3.50, ,OOO instead of scattering
it in the way he says he would, he would
convert every fertile acre in Virginia
into mint bed. On every mountain
side he would build distilery, and on
what unappropriated land there was
left ice machines would be constructed.
This accomplished, he would invite the
whole world to come to his domain and

Some of the critics of Col. Bob Inger-
soil have dug up a remark he once made
to the effect that he would believe in a
hell when Kentucky went republican.
1t is hardly probable the great orator
will redeem his promise and change his
creed, but the condition that confronta
him will no doubt be lesson that will
not be lost. In future he will not be SC
extravagant in his statements. 1t is
often the unexpected that happens. OF
course when he made the statement he
had no idea that Grover Cleveland would
turn republican.
