"Why do you ask?" still inquired the
father.
well, think Mr.. Scaggs is both
kind and intellectual, and I somehow
hoped the good Lord would overlook his
smoking and not going to meeting"
The old man at once grew stern, ques-
toned young Horace regarding his So
licitude for their neighbor, and eventu-
ally the secret of the boys visits and
studies was brought to light. Mr.. Gree
ley forbade his son to 60 near old Soaggs
again, denounced Latin books as i'm
pious reading and threatened the lad
with the strap.
Horace Greeley, after he got to be the
editor of big New York newspaper,
used to tell the story with much feeling.
"After being forbidden old Soaggs
companionship he said, 81 went and
told the old man about it, He seemed
grieved, but told me to obey my father.
The next day | was with my teacher at
the usual hour, and after promising
him would tell my father of my visit
our lesson went on as usual. Then /
went home and told my dad, and he wal
loped me! For a whole week l contin-
ued my visits to my old preceptor, and
each night received thrashing-more
severe each timel At the end of the
week had to eat my meals standing up.
Then my father locked me up for few
days. and we left Erie for Vermont in
less than fortnight Yes. I slipped
out and babe old Soaggs goodby.
The old man was fearful and gave me
the worn volume of Cicero as a parting
gift. Of course got a licking for that
visit also, but had seen my old friend
and had my beloved Latin reader but
toned tightly beneath my waistcoat. ]

concluded, ''but l never forgave him
those lashings. He was blue Presby
terrain and could not tolerate Sabbath
breaking He was mighty good man,
but when [ think of those whippings"
and then Mr.. Greeley used to squirm,
much to the delight of his listeners.

would produce so bushels, IL Is absurd
to suppose that this quantity of corn
will raise and fatten pigs aggregating
1900 pounds of pork. If the writer of
this paragraph has a variety of pigs
which can be made to weigh 900
pounds on 10 bushels of corn, he would
confer an inestima BILE favor upon the
farming class by offering the stock for
sale. The truth is that so bushels of
corn alone will not raise and fatten
two pigs of good stoek-in fact, IL
would not be too much for one.
The conclusion of the News writer
is good, though his premises are false;
pig raising does pay when it is proper
ly managed. But if the experimenter
relies solely upon corn as food, he will
lose money. AS a prominent South
Carolina farmer remarked few years
ago, raising hogs on corn alone is as
absurd as raising dogs on fried chick
en-. In most parts of the south, where
land is plentiful, by planting sorghum,
peas, sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas
and artichokes, the farmer may keep
his pigs in good condition without q
grain of corn for eight or nine months
of the year, and at very little expense.
This is the method pursued by those
who have been most successful in the
business. Experience will show that
three hundred pound pig, raised and
fattened on corn alone, will ihave "eat-

MISLEADING ADVICE

Which Farmers Would Do Well to Beware
of in Changing From Old Methods.
In the present depressed condition of
agriculture many southern farmers
are casting about for something that
will take the place of cotton as
money producer. Diversity of crops,
Stock-raising, tobacco culture and vari-
Gus other plans are suggested. There
can be no doubt that any of these
may, with proper care and foresight,
be made to pay. But the average farm
er, in experimenting with new and I'M
familiar methods, is in danger of ac-
cepting as truth advice from incom-
petent sources, and thus bringing upon
himself disappointment and serious
loss. My attention has been drawn to
this subject by the following para
graph, entitled Facts for Cotton
Growers" accredited to the Birming-
ham (Ala.) News:
''Suppose each acre of cotton pro-
duces one bale, and that bale brings in
the market $25. 1t cost So. so to gather
it. The bagging and ties are worth 81,
which makes $3.50 to gather and get it
ready for market. This leaves $3.50,
not counting anything for rent or Gull
tivation. The acre of land will produce
fifty bushels of corn. Fifty bushels of
corn will feed and fatten FIVE hogs that
will average in weight 800 pounds. Say
the five pigs cost So each-$1O. It will
cost SIS to slaughter them. The five will
make 1900 pounds of pork, worth say
cents per pound, makes $75. Deduct
expenses, $15, leaves $50. From that
the net amount of proceeds of cotton,
and it leaves a balance of $44. so in
favor of the pig raising"
Now, in this short paragraph there
are several misleading statements
The average cotton land in the south
which will produce one bale of cotton
per acre, will not yield so bushels of
corn; 25 bushels would be considered
good crop. But even granting that it

at the Democratic state convention
! next week, correspondent called
on him at his house in Hamilton.
He stated most emphatically that
he could not, and would not, accept

was his present financial condition,
which was such as ito make it i'm

PLANNING A STRIKE.
Minority of A. r.. U. at ST. Cloud
Still UnsatiSfieN.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. H.-There
is a. big split in the local branch Of
the A. r. u, owing to the refusal
of a majority to agree to a strike on
the Great Northern road next month.
Trouble has been brewing for some
time. One grievance, and the prin
cipal one at this point, is the refusal
of the company to reinstate the three
dispatchers who were discharged sew
eral months ago. Their friends have
been trying to work up a strike on
the ground that the men were fired
because of their affiliation with the
A. r. U. Those who are opposed to
the strike say that the men were dis
charged for the good of the service"
Several of those who have opposed the
strike have been summarily voted
withdrawal cards. They are now talk
ing and telling all about a big strike
which the other faction contemplates
on the Great Northern on Sept. 20.
Rogers, Phalen, Goodwin and Hogan,
of the general board of directors, are
expected in ST. Cloud next week to re-
organize the local branch. A plan is
said to be on foot to spring an affili-
alton of all branches of train service.
Men here say that switchmen and car
shop men are leaving the A. r. U.
and that it can never bring on another
strike on this system.

MOOSE HERDS INCREASING,
Law in Minnesota Has Stopped
Their Wholesale Destruction.

Law in Minnesota Has stopped
Their Wholesale Destruction.
DEER RIVER, Mimi, Aug. H.
Moose have become numerous in the
northern part of this state since a law
was passed three years ago prohibit
ing the killing of this noble game for
a period of five years, and fixing the
penalty at $50 for each animal killed
The moose was in danger of complete
determination prior to the passage of
this close law, but now all is changed,
and the thinly settled regions of the
state, particularly the counties of ST.
Louis and Itasca, are swarming with
the ungainly animals.
Many Of them are killed every day
by settlers and Indians, but as this is
for food only, the game wardens, who
are constantly patroling the woods, do
not interfere. The law was intended
to reach the hunters who killed simply
for the sake of killing and for the mag
nificently antlered heads, and it has
been successful. AS result, the
moose have multiplied and became
tame beyond the most sanguine eXpec-
tations, and when the close law ex
pires this region will be a veritable
paradise for the hunter.
The settlers in this locality are great
ly annoyed by the huge animals, who
deliberately come into the clearings
and leave a trail of destruction behind
them as they pass through the gardens
and fields of growing grain. Deer are
also numerous here, and in some cases
settlers are suffering severely from
their depredations, as the animals al
ways destroy more than they eat. The
deer do not seem to be afraid of any
thing, unless it be a man with a gun,
and in the early morning and in the
evening they come right up to the
house and poke around in the most in
quisitive manner imaginable.

BROKE ON BRICE.
Two Sets of Delegates Chosen n,
Cleveland,

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic county convention to Sc
lect delegates to the state convention
to be held next Tuesday and Wednes-
day at Springfield, was called to order
at 10 O'Clock this morning. After a hot
fight Alfred Whitaker was elected
chairman over James Lawrence. by a
vote of 227la to 1892 The selection of
whitaker as chairman was a decided
victory for the free silver and anti
Br1ce faction. A motion by free
silver delegate to appoint a committee
of seven to select delegates to the
state convention caused a row that for
time threatened to result in more
than war of words. It ended in
number of the gold and Brice men,
headsd by James Lawrence, retiring
from the hall with the announcement
that they would at once hold trump
convention. After their withdrawal
the the motion to select a committee
of seven to select delegates to the state
convention prevailed. This committee
as selected, was composed entirely of
free silver and anti-Brice men, Tha
seceders, to the number of about
seventy-fiye, at once went to another
hall, organized, and elected fifty-nfne
delegates TO the state convention.
Resolutions were adopted condemning
the methods pursued by the so-called
