Feeding Pea Meal to Hor,.

Pea-meal is rich in protein, which,
when peas are fed to hogs, goes to build
up the muscles or red meat. The pens
should be ground with oats or corn, us
ing two parts of the former to three OF
the latter for pigs and shoats, and ons
part peas and four of corn-meal for
older animals. To build up the lean meat
of the hog to give strong bones,
shorts should be fed. Bran, mixed with
corn-meal, shorts or some other similar
feed, will prove excellent for breeding
or stock hogs, but it is too coarse and
chaff-like for use in large quantities in
hog feeding.-Dakota Field and Farm.

THEY GO TOGETHER.
Better Roads and Wider Tires Are Ncedeo
Everywhere.

Better Roads and Wider Tires Are Needed
Everywhere.
Farmers have more reason to agitate
for good roads than any other class, not
even excepting bicyclers. Good roads
to the former mean economy in reach
ing markets; often better markets, be-
cause they could be reached at the
right time; advantages of social life
in the winter and early spring; saving
in time and in the wear and breakagc of
wheeled vehicles, and a general adj
vance in all that pertains to q higher
state of civilization.
Bicyclers are doing much to pro-
mote. good roads. Now is the time for
our farmers to make positive move
in cooperation with them
One improvement must go along with
that of better construction and drain
age of the roads. The wheels of all
vehicles should have wider tires. In
France the width of tire is from three
to ten inches, with the bulk of four
wheelers six inches. In Germany every
wagon for heavy loads must have at
least a fou Inch tire; Austria requires
tire of ~ inches wide; Switzerlad
requires al draft wagons to have a
six-inch tire. If we were to build good
roads our wagons, as now constructed,
would speedily destroy them. They
are road-destroyers as certainly as if
built for the purpose. Go on and build
the roads, and begin at once to reform
the wagon wheels.-Western Rural.

FARM AND GARDEN.
DRAINAGE OF ROADS.

kt II Of the Utmost Importance to the
Preservation of Highways
With wet or clayey roadways, surface
drainage alone is not sufficient With.
out undertakings the crown of such
roadways will dry only by slow process
of evaporation, during which time The
topping becomes more and more rutted
by the passing traffic. A subdrain in
such soil will not prove efficient for
more than about IL feet on each side;
hence, two lines of longitudinal sub
drains are needed on those parts of our
country roads that pass through wet
places, low-lying lands or clayey soils.
They should have an average fall of
about one in one hundred; minimum
fall, one in one thousand. At short in
teIvals, say from SO to 100 feet apart, are
placed cross drains to discharge the wa
ter into the side bitches. These cross
drains receive a greater fall, say up 10
one in thirty. Generally two and one
half to three-inch pipes are sufficient.
1t is advantageous to bed these tiles in
well-drained brick fragments and to
cover them with road metal. Be certain
that the tiles are correctly laid and that
nothing interferes with their free dis
charge. AS said before, unglazed round
tiles, about three inches in diameter
and, under certain conditions, jointcd
with loose collars, are most suitable for
subdrains. The bottom of the tiles
should be laid both to the proper grade
and below the frost line. after which the
tile trench is filled up to subgrade with
clean gravel. small field stones, road
metal, or broken bricks. The cross
drains are also made of unglazed tiles,
with the exception of their outlet Sec
tons, which should consist of vitrifed
culvert pipes. Regular branch pipes
should connect the longitudinal and
cross tiles. On level reaches the lateral
roadway slopes for surface drainage
should not be less than one in twenty
four, and side bitches should be pro-
vided, If necessary, as previously in
Dictated. Finally, rapid discharge OF
the side bitches, if required, through sd
jacent lands, is of the utmost im.
portance to roadway preservation

Hoes on . Dairy Fsrm.

The Indiana Farmer says: "a gentle
man who grows and fattens Is to 100
hogs in connection with his creamery.
says that in this way he utilities all the
product, except the butter, and makes
the business pay him largely. He never
has any hog cholera, for he keeps every
thing clean in connection with his pig
feeding, and the milk With bran and
meal makes succulent ration that
keeps the pigs very free from feverish
conditions. and therefore very healthy.
The milk and buttermilk with the bran,
meal, ETC., makes them grow rapidly.
and at eight months he has 175-pound
pigs to put on the market. He says by
combining the two branches of busi.
ness he finds It very profitable"

Chicago should Tol:o1 N. Louis.

Now if the democrats at Chicago will
only put as sound money plank into
their platform as thesrepublicans have
put into their platform at ST. Louis, but
little doubt will remain as to our fu-
ture standard of value, and capitalists
will at once begin to invest in American
securities and industries. This is The
surest and quickest way to bring back
good times. Sound-money democrats
should not give up the fight before the
bstile occurs.

gress in 1878, when the wave of '.free
silver" threatened to overwhelm every
one opposed to. it, may have said some
foolish things about the act of 1873, it is
significant fact that not single re.
publican OF those quoted as saying these
things, unless he lives in a slver-pro-
ducing state, has ever voted TO repeal
the essential provisions of the act of
1873 above cited. Except as to the trade
dollar (which was inserted as special
concession to the silver producers), the
act of 1873, based upon the experience
OF centuries, framed by men preeminent
for ability and integrity, discussed in
all its phases during the three years
when it was before congress, will be
recorded in history as one of the wisest
md best pieces of legislation ever en-
acted by the congress of the United
States. Its details may be changed,
but its fundamental principles will en-
dure.
Occasionally we hear man ask:
''Why didn't the newspapers say more
about the act at the time of its pas
sage?" The answer is plain. TWAS be-
cause of their being newspapers. not
ancient histories. There was nothing
lew in principle or practice in the bill.
1t was largely reenacsment of exist
Ing law, properly codified. Why did
the bill give gold unlimited coinage and
tender? Because all mint laws in ex-
istence did so. Why did it restrict the
coinage of subsidiary silver and limit
its tender to five dollars? Because these
were the provisions of the act of Feb
ruary Fl, 1853. Why did il omit from
coinage the old standard silver dollar?
Because that had been the intent OF
the act of 1858. In 1858 the dollar was
entirely out of circulation, and no at
tempt was made to bring it back into
circulation. Why did it make the gold
dollar The unitof value? Because 1t had
really been the metallic unit since 1884.
And this was the avowed intention Of
the act Of 1ssa.

PIERRE, s. d. Dec. Especial Tele-

the vote of Butte county on account Of re-

cato OF the court auditor and other irregu-
larties in the returns, and against the count

ties of Butte Fall River Hansen, Jerauld,

and Potter These were passed for the board
to examine into the sufiiciency of the re-
turning boards which canvassed the vote.
The populists are much worked up over the
action of the board in postponing the count
on the counties passed and aver 1t is for
the purpose of counting them out, but the
board has shown no inclination to take any
such action other than passing of the ccun-
ties ramed on account Of protests and the
probabilities are all will be counted
The canvassing board adjourned at 10 p.
IN. without making official footings on
any vote. 1t will reconvene for the canvass
of state officers at 10 a. m. and the national
officers at IL a. m. tomorrow. The probabll-
tiles are now that further adjournment of
