i1tfpening Period of Hogs.

The ripening period should be before
and after the hot season. Avoid if pos
sible excessive cold, for, as a writer
says, too much feed needs to be con-
sumed to maintain the normal tempera-
ture, while during the heated period not
sufficient food will be consumed to ma
terially increase the size of the carcass.
The nearer we can come in securing an
average daily increase, the more suc-
cessful our effort. In this earlier fat
tening process, we must not lose sight
of the fact that we realize much sooner
on the capital invested, and reinvest-
ment may be made at once. The cheap
est meat is made from the young ami
NAL, much less food being consumed in
supplying the wastes of the system.
The earlier the marketable period is
reached proportionately lessons the
loss by disease,-Western Plowman.

Elephant Plays Postum.

Several years ago large bull ele-
'phant was captured by Grips, the
famous elephant taker of Ceylon. The
animal made desperate struggle at
first, but was finally conquered and
led into the corral by two tame ele-
plants, trained for the purpose. The
moment it entered the Enclosure it sank
upon the ground and apparently died
of what the natives termed broken
heart. Every effort was made to
restore the elephant. It was treated by
the doctors, punched with spears by the
mahouts, but all to no purpose, and it
was finally deserted. But the moment
the Natives had reached safe distance
the willy beast sprang to its feet, and
with exultant trumpeting rushed
through the corral fence and into the
forest, where its cries Of delight at the
success Of its ruse were heard for some
time.Philadelphia Inquiries.

insects and Frost.

It will soon be time to study the Curl
Gus effects of frost on insects, and to
note the remarkable manner in which
some of them will revive after hard
freeze. It is a common experience to
find butterflies frozen hard in October
and November. These, when first
picked up, are very brittle, and will
break unless carefully handled. If
taken into warm room, however, or
even placed in the crown of your hat,
they will rapidly recover from the ef-
fects of the freeze, and upon being re-
leased, will fly away as joyously as if
nothing had happened.-S Louis Re-

INDIANS IMPROVING.

Annual Report Of Commissioner Brown
ins-Great Progress Made.
D. NJ. Browning, commissioner of
Indian affairs, has made his annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior.
He says that with no outbreak or dis
turbance during the year the progress
of the Indians generally i'm education
and civilization has been uninterrupted
and substantial. The main effort now
is and for many years must be to put
the Indian upon his allotment, get him
to support himself there, protect him
from encroachment and injustice and
educate and train his children in books
and industries. AS first step, SO far
d. ire atty obligations do not interfere by
requiring the payment of moneys and
issuance of rations or annuities, the
Indians are given to understand that
the government will not feed and cloth
them while they remain in idleness.
Such funds as are available for the pur-
pose arc devoted to starting Indians in
homes. If an Indian will go upon an
allotment and work to improve it, the
government will assist him in building
a house, getting his farm in operation
and making him practical farmer.
The commissioner says the government
goes further and pays the Indian for
his work. The regular Indian employees
the government paid last year $500, 600.
A great diversity of crafts and indus
tries is the outgrowth of advanced
civilization. The reports from Indian
agents, he says, show that Indians in
many different ways are coming to earn
their living. They have supplies for the
government, raise crops to sell, raise
and sell live stock, work in the woods
and on irrigation bitches, and in many
minor ways contribute to their own
subsistence.
The entire Indian service, with few
exceptions, is now under civil service
regulations. Exceptions are made as to
Indians who are employed under non
competitive examinations.
Progress in educating the Indians is
reported very satisfactory, in spite of
many difficulties encountered. The en-
rollment during the year was 1882, an
increase of 315 over the previous year.
The average attendance increased $50.
The reduction Of the number Of con-
tract schools has been made in accord
ance with provisions of the last Indian
appropriation bill, and in 1897 there
will be an expenditure of $257,s2s on
this account, against $463,5o5 this year.
The commissioner urges the passage
of the bill now pending in congress to
prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians
who have become citizens. He says the
correspondence in his Office shows that
the Indians in the west and northwest
who have received allotments are be-
coming demoralized by the liquor
traffic.
The commissioner reviews at length
the disturbances at Jackson's Hole,
Wyo., and says steps have been taken to
prevent any conflict between the Indi-
ans and local misunderstanding
