REPUTATION TOO GOOD.
Confession of . Jocuiar Man Who Lived
Up to His Record.

Up to His Record
have been told that 1 came into this
world with grin on my pink face. In-
stead of protesting when the clergyman
who baptized me sprinkled the water
in my left eye, took the whole thing
as good joke, which led my nurse to
predict that l would have short life.
My conduct during my first couple or
wears showed that l had made up my
mind to make it a merry one. The
reputation for good nature which /
have had from my earliest childhood
has proved my greatest affiiction. The
popularity which l enjoyed as baby
with all those who came in contact
with me has stuck like leech. Having
reached the age OF discretion, am ex-
pected to be happy under all possible
circumstances. Ny friends tell me that
they never met anyone who equaled me
in evenness of temper. They are care
full to spread my renown among those
who are strangers to me. The result is
that feel obliged to live up to my re-
pute. I go about ready to turn on
fictitious smile at moments notice.
MY tailor may be pressing me for pay
ment of his bills, l may be suffering
from the remorse that follows a late
dinner. may have Indigestion, or, in
fact, suffer from any of the ills that
afflict humanity; yet if see friend in

HERE AND THERE. .

Success In husbandry is not mat
ter of luck. The lucky" sheep farmer
is none other than the painstaking,
humane, enthusiastic shepherd, whose
success turns upon his attention to de-
tails.
"A good authority says that black
hogs are harder than others because
their skin is tougher and less liable to
scurf and diseases caused by parasites
that find a favorite breeding and for.
aging place in a scurfy skin.
"A decoction of lynn bark has long
been used in place of fax seed meal in
bowel diseases of horses and cattle.
1t is soothing, demulcent, and at the
same time nutritious. The green bark
is best, but dried may be used when
fresh green bark can not be obtained.
The feed for driving horsesi in sum-
mer should contain the least possible
fat or heat-producing matter. Corn is
rich in fats. and by overheating the
blood predisposses horse to founder,
azoturia and many other serious dis
eases. Driving horses should have no
corn at all in summer.
Light, warmth, pure air and clean
Illness are absolutely essential to a
horses health. Sunshine is natures
best germicide, but it-should be ad-
united into the stalls only when the
horses are absent, and awnings should
be provided TO temper the heat during
| the warmest hours of the day.
The shoes of horse should never
be driven on as tight In summer as IN
winter. Protracted hot weather causes
the shoe to absorb moisture from tho
hoof. The feet, therefore, should b
soaked frequently in a foot bath
They should also be dressed daily wit!
some simple hoof dressing to enable
them to retain moisture and to pre-
vent the box of the hoof from crack

Good News from South Dakota.

The glorious results Of this seasons
harvest Of golden grain will pour stream
of sound money into the pockets OF every
Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of acres Of
choice farming and ranch land lying east Of
the Missouri river, and within one day s
ride from Chicago or Milwaukee, which can
now be bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end of another year may be ad-
vanced in price.
The stock raising industry in South Dar
kota Is profitable, and eastern capital Is
now being invested In cattle and sheep
growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing OF live
stock, and the products OF The dairy, are
placing South Dakota emost in the ranks
of the successful western states.
Those desiring full information on the
subject, and particularly those who wish &c
seek new home or purchase land, are re
quested to correspond with w. e. Powell

THE BACON HOG.
Something About the Animal that Is Sup
planting the Lard Hog.

Something About the Animal that Is Sup
planting the Lard Hog.
Mr.. John Cownie, in his response to
our address of welcome at the swine
breeders meeting, and, we believe, In
the course of his discussion, took up
the cudgels against what is known as
the bacon hog and contended that the
flesh of the typical Iowa hog, whether
Poland China, Berkshire, Chester
White or Duroc, was superior to the
so-called bacon hog of England, Ire
land or Denmark. In the same con-
nectiou he stated that the American
beef was equal to or superior to beef
made on English pastures, and that a
large per cent. of it was sold as best
English or prime Scotch, while the in
ferior British beef was labeled and
sold as American. We have gone to
butcher shops in Dublin, bought Amer
lean cuts and the same cuts of the
best Irish for the purpose of testing
the same on the table, and invariably
paid penny more for the Irish. On
one occasion we asked the butcher
what he did when he run ont OF the
Irish, and with commendable candor
he told us he sold the American and
charged penny more for it. 1t is,
however, different with the hog. We
have studied the question on the
ground and began with Mr.. Cownie's
convictions. We are free to say we
were mistaken as he would find him
self II he would do as we did, try Irish
bacon in comparison with our own.
The fact is, the best Irish, English
and Danish bacon sells from rs to 81
per cent. more than the same brands
of American. Part of it may be preju
dice, but the Englishman has no more
reason to be prejudiced against Amer
lean bacon than he has against Dan
ish, and Danish stands as high oil
higher than the best Irish or English
The fact is, our pork, as it finds it,
way to the English markets, is too
fat. The best bacon there is mad,
from young hogs eight or ten months
old, weighing as nearly as possible
around IT'S to $50 pounds, and In abou
