THE PROFITABLE FEEDING WEIGHT.

A largo per cent. of farmers Craze
and feed hogs, and the belief that
holds with many is that some future
month will bring better prices, which
can at best be cnly matter OF guess
ing. Would it not be better to adopt
the rule of getting to market as quick
ly as possible, taking tho price Mt
which they can be sold where the limit
of the most profitable feeding weight
is reached, say 175 TO 200 pounds {?
This would cut off Improbable feeding,
or in other words, stop the feeding
when it takes too much food to make
a pound of gam, and yet in series of
years give the farmer as good average
prices us he will secure by trying to
feed to catch the high prico all the
time.
1t is a very low price that will not
give a good profit on a pig that has
been made to do his best up to 175
pounds, while slight drop in price
on a 3O0'pound hog will lose man

TEXTURE OF BurrER.

The texture of butter depends partly
ON the animal, partly on feed, and
partly upon the temperature of the
cream when churned. Cows that give
the richest milk make the most solid
butter. In such cows what should go
to make suet or beef fat is turned into
the milk glands. The same. result
comes from feeding very rich food like
cotton-seed meal. A small quantity
of this mixed with wheat bran should
be fed to cows; it will make butter
much frmer during hot weather in
summer, but it will need in addition
that the milk and cream be kept in a
cool place.

TOO MARROW BARNS.

Most of the old-fashioned barns were
built with a view to economy, and
we're made as narrow and cramped as
possible. The standard width seemed
to be enough for wagon loaded with
grain in the straw to be driven in and
for the barn door to be closed behind
it. The floor was also narrow, so that
the team had to be driven out Ht the
door opposite that they went in at. 1t
is rather curious that farmers tried to
economize so much in lumber when
the woods were full of it, and larger
framed buildings might be made with
scarcely any more expense. When far
mers began to build barns with base
ments, and having only one entrance,
the barn was necessarily made wider
and its floors broader, so that loaded
wagon could be driven in and the team
be driven out beside it. A roomy barn
floor is very convenient for storing
many kinds of farm tools, but wagons
should always be stored in the base.

Green food is essential to the we'll

If hitherto neglected there is still time

more nutritious. If seeded now it will

hYPHENAreo NAMES.

ROme Are Genuine, Others sisaply stand
For SnObbsry-HOw to Distinguish.
Hyphenated names in europe may be
divided into two overwhelmingly,
those wherein the lIypllen is a mere piece
Of snobbery and afsCct@tion, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are III the minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property. usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
Of the testator ON TO their own, or else
they are men who have married hcireSSes
and been accepted as husbands for tho
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name Of their wives
20 their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object Of
creating the impression that they are of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of APP
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
"bOna fide double barrel, J" as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them, from
those who are not, for you have only TO
ask Mr.. POnsOnby-Jones for the name OF
his paternal grandfather in orde- to find

by, whereas i'll the case of surrames
adopted in Difference to tcstamentary
dispositions one Will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled to
do so are usually the owners of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefxing thereto one calculated, they
trust, to create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus 1T is quite
