when, at last, he became notorious
enough TO be worth apprehension, he
passed in triumphal procession from
Newgate to Tyburn, dressed in the

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

USUALLY the swine pasture should
be larger than is the case on manv
farms.
WHEN the cold autumn rains come
the hogs should have a dry sleeping
place, and clean, too.
A GOOD sheep is a good friend to the
farmer. Do not abuse him, even
though he is not on top just now.
TAKING the country at large, the av.
erage value of milk cows has increased
20 cents since 1894. or from SLIT tc
$2l.97 each.
The herd of swine forms very good
savings bank for the various small
items of food that too often go to
waste when hogs are not kept
A HOG should be kept for every COW
on the average farm, provided there
are at least two acres in the farm for
each hog kept. Piggy needs room, so
do cows, horses, sheep and poultry.
ONE point in favor of sheep is that
moderate-sized flock can be kept on
very many farms with but little cost:
sometimes with actual direct advan
tage to the farm aside from the money

The sugar growers of Cuba are in a
helpless condition. They will not be
able to secure loans with which to
make the coming crop, which means
that not over one-half of the usual
acreage in new cane has been planted,
with corresponding neglect in the
cleaning of the growing crop. The
condition is distressing, and the end is
not yet, for when it is recalled that
fully one-third of the inhabitants de-

ment and living, and that the owners
thereof can not obtain money TO en-
