MILK FOR THE PIGS.
Good Thing When Fed in Connection with
 Something Else.

Good Thing When Fed in Connection with
 Something Else.
 There is hardly any doubt that with good management better profit can be realized in feeding the milk to thrifty growing pigs than to make into butter, take to the country stores and sell at the price usually received, at least during the greater part of the season, and at considerable saving of time and labor. But in feeding milk to pigs to make the most of it, in near ly all cases it must be fed in connec- tion with something else. From the time the pig is farrowcd until it is ready to finish for market. milk can be made its entire food, and later on its principal food. The milk must at first be supplied by feeding the SOW with good producing food, and as soon as the pig learns to eat it can be fed milk, and if the SOW is fed sloppy foods made up with milk the pig will learn to eat much earlier than if corn or grain of any kind is depended upon.
 But in nearly all cases the best way of feeding milk is in connection with other foods, as it requires too large an amount of milk alone to make pound of gain in a pig. But made into slop with middlings and bran, oil meal and bran, or cornmeal and bran, it not only makes healthy, but an economical food. But even then the lowest cost of growth will not be realized unless, in addition, good pasturage is provided. Give growing pigs the run of a good pasture clover is always best-and then feed good milk slop night and morning, and in majority of cases the best growth at the lowest cost can be realized. And if this is done milk can be sold at a better price. fed in this way to vigorous, thrifty pigs, than will be realized by making into butter at eight or ten cents pound at the coun- try store, and all of the labor of but ter making be avoided in addition. It is true that Tn a majority of cases the same milk and the same amount of labor spent in making poor butter will, with different management, make but ter that will bring two or three times that much.-Prairie Farmer.

When the spray begins to come clear it should of course be turned off at once.

CULIOnE OF GlNSEN1.
A Crop That Can Be Made to Pay Very
 Handsome Profits.

This has yielded me over $500 from less than two square rods of ground in less than five years. I have taken this season QS9N from seven beds (3xl6 feet each) 2,234 roots, weight 13l pounds. From these were taken out for replant- ing 1906 roots t504 pounds), leaving sO5 pounds to be dried for market, making 29M pounds dry, which sold for S5 per pound; 629 seeding roots, worth $2 per hundred, for transplanting, were also taken rom the same beds, and are not included in above figures. The 2,234 roots had been under cultivation in one bed five years and in the other four years, and had produced during the time at least S75 worth of seed. The first cost of stocking the beds with wild roots was less than $25. It will be observed that the stock has been de- creased only 32S roots.

 If the specimen of Australian dialect which Gilbert Parker gives in the Idler is a fair sample of what we may expect when dialect writers begin to work up that country, we have not yet seen the worst. Here is little story which reads like a missing word puzzle or cipher telegram: ''Tel1 ye low it was.

 ''This is how it happened: I walked off to the shearing shed, took down my shears, hauled out sheep, and was clipping down the right-hand side with all my might, when the manager came and discharged me. I went back to the hut, folded up my blanket, put the sad dle on my horse, galloped up the river, stopped at Sleepy Jim's sheep pen and shore hundred and forty by four o'clock next da-"

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

We slipped out of bed and drew on
our trousers and socks, and descended
the stairs, which led up from the family
sitting-room. Only two rustics, ignor-
ant of the peril Of such an undertaking,
would have done as we did. When we
got downstairs we found the parlor
door wide open, the room lighted, and
the stranger stood at the table with the
watch in his hand. We had crept down
so softly that he heard nothing. He
was fully dressed, even to his overcoat
and arctics, and as we watched him he
pocketed the timepiece and removed
the wrapper from the shawl. Sans
idea had been to raise an alarm, or per-
haps rush in on him, but as we cow
cred there and watched, a sense of help
lessness came over him, and his teeth
began to chatter before mine did. We
were about to creep back to the stairs,
when the man turned the 1amplight al
most out, and came into the sitting
room, and made for the outside door

stairs for father, but Sam drew me
across to the side window, and pulled

Hes got the watch and shawl and is

Let me explain that about the first
of the month the sheriff of our county
had taken possession of a span of fine
horses, supposed to have been stolen,
and they were being cared for in our
stables until the owner should turn up.
The stables were in the basement of the
barn and half underground. The win
dows were very small and the door a
stout one. This door had no lock, but
fastened with hasp and pin. We
watched the man until he opened the
door and entered the stables, and then
Sam said:

ENGLAND'S QUEEN.
Less Given to BIunders and More Re-
spected Than Most Rulers.
inst think of tho Ilup1arS all I;v;Do

Less Given to BIunders and More Re-
spected Than Most Rulers.
just think of the blunders all living
monarchs have made, even Francis
Joseph, of Austria, whom men now ac-
count Nestor, and all the premiers of
our time, and then reflect on this reign,
in which there has never been a blunder
big enough to be perceptible to the init
lion eyes which always watch court.
1t seems to us, wholly apart from the
difficult question of the proper limits
of loyalty to an individual, there is
enough in the known facts to justify all
the reverence with which the queen is
regarded, and which extends far be-
yond the liInit of her scepter, wide as
that limit has now become.
Foreigners occupy in many respects
the position of posterity, and among
foreigners capable of judging the rev.
eTence for the queen is at least as great
as in England, her opinion when known
to foreign courts weighing at least as
heavily as it does with her own minis
tiers. This is due, say several of our con-
tempOraries recently, to the intermar-
riages which have made her majesty
the common ancestress in so many
courts; in every court, indeed, not
strictly Catholic; and no doubt the
strange position of the queen in that re-
spect is one reason for the special honor
in which she is held abroad, but is not
the principal one. Relatives can hate
one another very hard. and the queen
is as greatly respected in Washington
or New York as in Berlin or ST. Peters
burg.
Her majesty is great because her
reign has been great-great in its en-
terprises, great in its successes, great,
above all, in that compatibility which,
owing mainly to the character of the
sovereign, it has shown to be possible
between a more than republican free
dom and monarchical institutions. The
British empire is the greatest object les
son ever given to the world to show
that a state can enlarge it's borders
without living under tyranny and with
out universal military service.-London
