VALUE OF HOG PASTURE.
A brief Report of Two Years Experiments
Conducted Mt the Utah Station.

Conducted Mt the Utah Station.
The Utah experiment station has is
sued bulletin on the value of pasture
in swine growing giving the results of
two years. Numbered with the more.
important conclusions reached are the
following:
Pigs allowed to run Mt large over g
acres of good pasture and fed full ra-
tion of grain made the most rapid
growth and required the least grain for
9ne pound Of gain, The pasture in all
the various feeding trials contained
eight varieties Of grass in mixture, and
about one-half of it was alfalfa, fact
to be borne in mind in considering the
bearing of these experiments upon the
question under consideration. Pigs con-
fined in movable pens in the pasture
grew more slowly than those running
loose and required an increase of one
fifth more grain To make u pound of
gain. Pigs on pasture and fed under
three different conditions gained O2la
per cent more and ate but . per cent
more than pigs getting grass and other
wise similarly fed, but confined in pens,
the grass in this latter case being cut
for them. The grain required tc pro-
duce one pound of gain under these cir
cumstances increased 40 per cent as
compared with those at pasture. Salts
factory gains were made by pigs fed but
part rations Of grain on pasture. Those
getting three-fourths grain ration
gained more than did those fed full
grain ration and grass either in the
yards OF i'll pens.
1t will be observed from the forego.
ing that the exercise taken by the pigs
which did their own foraging contrib
uted largely to their gain, proving that
the pasture had value of its own apart
from the mere question Of the amount
of food eaten from it. As nearly as can
be estimated this exercise alone in
creased the gain 22 per cent, while the
amount eaten increased but l y per cent,
and it at the same time decreased the
amount required for a pound of gain 22
per cent. Grass cut and fed green TO
| pigs, whether in pens or in yards, and
whether with full or part grain ra-
tion or without any grain, proved to be
of very slight value. Confined in pens
and fed ON grass alone, which it will be
remembered was chiefly alfalfa, for
three months, lost over quarter of Il
pound per day.
From these conclusions it would seem
that what with other animals is called
soiling has but little, if any, value with
swine, and the true value of grass lies
largely in the pigs getting it for them
selves from pasture. Indeed one of the
opinions put forth by the bulletin is that
grass fed to pigs in the yard is really
detrimental, it requiring more grain to
make pound of pork with the grass
than without it. These conclusions are
/ quite radical, but the experiments upon
which they are based, if accurately re-
/ ported, seem to warrant them, says as
good authority as the Iowa Homestead.

Paper Bottles.

The days of the glass bottles are
numbered. 1t is announced that In
the near future bottles will be made
of paper. A company has been form
ed to manu- acture them.
The advantages claimed for the
paper bottles are many. A glass bot
tie is extremely liable to break, and,
in the case of old wine, the breakage
of bottle in bin causes serious loss.
The paper bottle, it is claimed, cannot
be broken, unless considerable force is
used. Bottles have been made Of
toughened glass and jars have been
covered with wickerWork, but still the
breakag,s occur. 1t is claimed that
unbreakablc paper bottles will stop
this.
Paper bottles can be manufactured
for about half the cost of glass bottles,
and can be made watertight as we'll as
alright, AS brewers well know, it is
no easy matter to make a glass bottle
that is alright when beer is the liquor
it contains. All kinds of experiments
have been made to accomplish this re-
suit, but none have succeeded. With
the paper bottles the matter will be
comparatively easy, as the paper will
give when the cork is driven into the
neck of the bottle, and will be scaled
perfectly.
Glass bottles, too, will freeze and
their contents spoil. In the paper
bottles the liquid can defy the efforts
of the Frost King. This will mean a
saving in more ways than one. There
is no occasion for the laborious pack
ing in straw that has to be done in the
case of glass bottles. The paper bot
ties, being practically unbreakable,
there is no need for straw as safe
guard against rough treatment while
in transit, and as the papier mache
will keen the contents warm. there

DEATH OF LINCOLN.
How the News of His ASSaSSi.

out the Land.

April 13, 1865, there was great reJoic-
had been raised after the Lee surrender,
and because of the removal of the restric-
tions on commerce, because there was no
longer speculation, but certainty that
there was to be united country, there
was specially gorgeous and joyful cele-
bration in this city.
But there was not more of an excess OF
Joy on the 18th than there was of sorrow
on the night of the 4th, when it became
known that the President had received
mortal wound at the hands of an assassin.
The intensity of general mourning in
creased the next day, when the dreaded
news came that the murderous bullet had
completed Its dire agency of fatality.
The President, Abraham Lincoln, was
dead! 4 nation mourncd. Obeying a nat
ural. human impulse, a nation hoped for
vengeance.
Washington newspapers made the an
nouncementon the morning OF April Ia that
that evening President Lincoln and party
would occupy box at Ford's Theater to
witness the production of the comedy,
s.Our American Cousin The announce
ment was correct.
Accompanied by few friends, the Presi-
dent arrived at Ford's Theater about 8
O'Clock. The play stopped. The audience
was wild with cheers and applause. The
band played Hail to the Chief" and
every detail went to form a scene of splen-
did enthusiasm.
The play proceeded, and an hour later
pistol shot was heard in the direction of the
Presidents box. An instant later man
jumped over the box railing, brandishing
dagger, and exclaimed, "Sic semper ty
rannisr' He then disappeared by the stage
exit.
Attention was riveted on the Presidents
box, however, the people in their surprise
and solicitude making no effort TO stop
the assassin-in fact, scarcely comprehend
ing the tragic result of the report they had
heard. Mr.. Lincoln was leaning over in
his chair, unconscious. Mrs. Lincoln was
screaming, which told plainly enough that
the President had been shot.
Men climbed into the box to offer assist
ance; others followed to oyertake the mur-
derer; widest confusion prevailed. The
physicians who were soon in attendance
found that the President had received
bullet wound in the back of the head and

He was removed to private house
across Tenth street, and next morning, with
out regaining consciousness, he expired.
Meantime the city had become aroused.
The telegraph had put on the alert the po-
lice and military. The long roll was beat
in distant camps; church bells tolled; cav
airy and infantry were active on all streets,
and every road was picketed. Thousands

the Monument to His
Mem ory Here.

In Lincoln Park, one mile east of the
Capitol, standsa monument erected through
the impulses of love, veneration and graft
tude of people who were released from the
bonds of slavery.
1t represents Abraham Lincoln standing
by monolith and holding the ena ancipation
scroll in his right hand. slave, kneeIing
at his feet with manacles broken, is about
to rise. On his left is the trunk of tree
with lash and mana cles strewn about.
The monument was designed by Thomas
Ball. 1t is twelve feet high and cost
SIT 900. The pedestal of Virginia gram
lite on which it stands is ten feet high,
cost So 900, and was given by Congress.
The monument was paid for entirely by
funds contributed by former slaves Some
time after the movement was started to
build such monument, the Western SAM
tary Commission, of st. Louis took hold
or the matter, systematized the collections
and contributions reviewed plans and made
the contract.
The unveiling took place on Friday April
Ia, 1876, several years after the movement
had been started. But as the contributions
were restricted entirely to emancipated
citizens the process was of necessity slow.
Z Colored people from all sections of the
country contributed to the monument fund.
The first contribution was by Charlotte
Scott OF Virginia, who gave the first So
she earned after gaining her freedom. she
was largely responsible for the movement,
In that she said, after learning of the dea th
OF Lincoln, that her first money made as
free woman should be for a monument
Tor him. The suggestion was acted on
generally by colored people.
The date Of the unveiling was an anni-
yersary of the date of the assassination.
The ceremonies were attended by Presi-
dent Grant and all the official dignitaries,
as well as vast concoursc of white and
colored citizens. Frederick Douglass was
the orator of the occasion.

10y Henry Clay, in preference to those es-
poused 10y President Jackson. His next
work was the building Of large flat-boat
for Denton offutt, to take to New Orleans
with corn and meat. He made the trip TO
New Orleans again. While there he saw
slaves sold at auction, and said:
''If ever get a chance to hit that fnstitu-
ton. III hit it hard, by the eternal God"
Coming back, he clerked in Offutt's store
at New Salem, where he had to have several
fistic encounters. In this store he studied
the language from a grammar and the
Louisville Journal.
HIS RISE TO POWER.
In 1882 he enlisted in the war against
the Indians, but saw no fighting, though
he was made captain. In the same year
he was candidate for the legislature, and
was defeated.
He clerked again, and secured an interest
in the store with Mr.. Berry. In the mean
time he studied law all the time, which,
with memorizing Webster's speeches, made
him inattentive TO business. So the store
was sold, leaving Lincoln heavily in debt.
AT twenty-four he was out Of emplo yment,
and wanted to be q lawyer.
A friend loaned him law books, which he
read at night, aud cleared land, split rails
or worked In harvest fields during the
day.
He had never studied surveying when
made assistant surveyor of public lands in
1884. The same year he was elected to
the legislature, to which he was returned
in 1885. In this year he moved to Spring
field, the capital, where, after many hard
ships and months of study, he was admitted
10 the bar, and began a career which has no
more Illustrious example in history, en-
blazoned with honor and glory, leaving
a memory revered now and forever by
patriotic people he SO faithfully served.

innkeeper, was fair to look upon. and an
accomplished young woman. She had be-

Neill, but when he wentto New York letters
from him were very infrequent, and soon
ceased to come altogether.
Lincoln was then postmaster, and saw
the girls troubles. He pitied, then loved
