The Kind of management Which Ii SURE
Give Good Results.
knowing that many a fine litter Of
pigs is ruined by careless management
of the feeder, take this opportunity
to call attention to few important
facts. First, it is necessary to keep the
sows in good thrift before the pigs
come. This insures good, stout, healthy
pigs to begin with. Many are afraid
they will get the SOW too fat. There
is little danger of this, although it is
best TO feed her milk, bran, shorts and
the like, rather than too much corn.
Plenty of good bone and fiesh-formiEg
food is what is needed, always allowing
her to have plenty of exercise in open
field.
When the pigs are narrowed feed the
sow sparingly of such food az milk,
bran, shorts, etc, for the first four or
five days. then gradually increase the
feed until you give her all she can and
will eat clean three times per day. Il
the sow has a large litter they Will get
sufficient milk to keep them doing their
best. After they are about ten days old
place a trough where the pigs can run
through the fence and eat by them
selves. Feed them sweet milk at first,
with little wheat shorts in it. y little
later Oh, feed also little corn, but prin-
cipa1ly feed them on bone and muscle
forming food. Give them all they will
eat.
When they are six weeks old decrease
the feed of the sow gradually, SO her
milk flow will gradually decrease. When
the pigs are eight weeks old wean them
off. Give them all they will eat and al
low them plenty of fresh clover grass
if possible, and they will make hogs that
you will never be ashamed to place on
any market, and they will pay you for
doing your work well. 1t don't pay to
halfway do anything. If anything will
pay at all it will pay to do it well.
Whatsoever your hand fndeth 70 do,
do it with your might, with all the care
and judgment you can possibly bestow.

AIR AND EXERCISE.
They Materially Affect the Meat of
Sheep, Cattle and Poultry.

They Materially Affect the Meat of
Sheep, Cattle and Poultry.
The meat of certain animals-sheep,
cattle and pcultry-is preferred co,
commands a higher price and is in
greater demand in the English market
than the meat of other animals. For,
the mutton of Welsh mountain sheep,
and of the Southdowns and Cheviots,
all subsisting on short and scant feed,
regularly brings from two to three
cents per pound more than much larger
and fatter mutton; the practical reason
being the greater value of the mutton,
because the sheep supplying it are
more active, performing their excre-
tory breathing functions more fully
and so producing pure, healthier and
letter favored quality of meat. The
same is true of the KyJoe and other
active cattle of Scotland. and the De-
von and other active cattle of England.
Their flesh is better favored from their
better quality of blood. which results
from greater activity. so that the juicy,
sweet meat of active cattle generally
sells at from two to four cents per
pound higher in price than that of in
active cattle. In poultry the same
distinction holds; the active, lively
breeds, usually smallish in size, supply
the healthiest AMI best quality of
poultry meat. The same is true of wild
fowl and deer. the best quality of meat
being obtained from those varieties or
breeds that are regularly the most ac-
tive in getting subsistence, whether on
the wing, or, like ducks and geese, in
the water, or on foot.-Farmer's Voice

The upper story is intended for pig
cons, and has an entrance for the at

It would be better to have small room
in the upper story reserved for the
storage of feed.
The dimensions of this house are not
stated, but the principle may be adapted
to any size and to the requirements of

a modification of the smaller hay caps

How Avoid the Rocks on which Begin-
ners Usually Split.

ners Usually Split.
The first step is to get good text
book on Bookkeeping and study it
thoroughly. Then get another one ard
study that Perhaps third could be
profitabIy added to the list. IF a bee
keepers convention should be held near
by, attend that; if not, visit neighboring
beekeepers and talk bees" with them
this would be better than the
ordinary bee conventions, though both
are good. After this, if it is the inten-
ton to make of beekeeping a special
business, much time may be saved by
spending at least one season with some
professional apiarist. If this cannot be
done, the best way will be to begin at
home with a few colonies, and allow the
bees and the knowledge to keep pace
one with the other. The beginner is
quite likely to make some mistakes, and
it is better to make them with a small
number of colonies. Perhaps ten col
onies would be sufficient to begin with.
Many recommend buying cheap colonies
of blacks in box hives, transferring
them to movable frames, and Italian
izing them; but transferring as usually
done is a very disagreeable job, requir-
ing some nerve, patience and skill, and
seems scarcely the proper work at
which to set a novice. In Italianizing
there is also risk of losing queens,
particularly if the work is done by an
inexperienced person. Still, if one has
plenty of determination and little
money this course may be advisable. It
is much more pleasant, however, for the
beginner to begin with Italians in NOV
able comb hives.
Spring is the best time to buy bees,
and it is better to get them as near
home as possible, as express charges
are very heavy, and long journeys are
likely to injure the colonies. 1 would
advise even a beginner to buy black
bees in box hives near home, and then
transfer and Italianize, rather than have
bees shipped many hundreds of miles.
The cost of beginning in Bookkeeping
might be estimated something as fol-
lows:
,Bee-smoker and yeii veil. j. 50
New hives for swarms. 70 %
Sections and comb foundations..-..... 10 90
Total OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .$76 5o
1t might be we'll for the beginner to
produce extracted honey at first. in
which case an extractor would be need
ed. This costs about ten dollars, but no
sections would be needed, nor so much
foundations, though there would be
needed some vessels in which to store
the honey. The one thing that the be-
ginner needs to avoid in producing ex-
tracted honey is extracting too closely,
taking away too much honey and 1eav-
ing the bees short of stores. No honey
should be taken from the brood nest.
Another rock upon which the begin
ner is likely to split, is dividing colonies
too early, too frequently or too late.
To allow each colony to swarm once, if
it will. and prevent after-swarming,
would be a safe plan for a beginner to
follow.-Country Gentleman.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1896-08-08

Honey just after being taken from
the hives should be put into open ves-
sells, and allowed to riPen before stor-
ing away.

The entertainment which has
been announced by the Penny

night.
The following program was
rendered:

Recitation, Annie Churchwell.
Recitation, Miss Annie Fain.
Benediction.
The entire program was one of
interest, and the society deserves
much credit for their well render
ed songs and recitations. The
success Of the evening was large
ly due to the tlreless efforts of
Mrs. Fain, who drilled the little
girls with patience and skill.
A large crowd was present, and
all felt amply paid for coming out.
1t is the wish Of all that the Pen
ny Workers give another concert
in the near future.
One feature Of the evening was
the Tleasurer's report which
showed the neat little sum OF
914.6S on hand, and this money
will be used for good purpose
sometime soon.
The above should have gone
through these columns last issue,
but did not have the space to
give it.

Dear SIR
Bro. j. L. Haddock came to the
town of Hemburgh four weeks
ago and began a series of meet
ings. The results Of which to me
are perfectly wonderful and with
out parallel. 1t is q fact (as you
are aware that March was very
unfavorable for meeting, and
the town of Hamburger has here
tofore been almost entirely in
vinceable to the efforts Of all who
have ever preached there. But
tho right evangelist came at the
right time.
1t has frequently been said
that sin and around Hamburger
was by far, the toughest place in
Hardin County" But Bro. Had.
dock was equal to the emergency
and succeened with but few
trials in smoothing over the
rough places; and Hamburger is
now q religious town.
The business houses were clos
ed most every service and reyer-
encc was shown in every con-
ceivable way, which proves to me
someone has surely misrepresent-
ed the little town.
The immediate result Of the
meeting was 30 additions, six
from the Baptist Church, sixteen
from the M. K. Church South,
four reclaimed and thirty-two by
primary obedience. The pros
pective result church organized
and gone to work earnestly and
prayerfully for tina Lord, a Sun

tended. The few who were mem
