ny an
What is there in the Anglo-Saxon
nature that makes Anglo-SaXon the
prize snobs OF the world! Other races
have their weaknesses, but this weak
ness they do not share with us. We
sneer at foreign titles, yet in no coun-
try are titles so openly sold. We look
with lofty disdain at some Italian or
German count, whose ancestors have
been counts for unnumbered genera
tions. Yet we grovel before any loan
monger or brewer who has bought a
peerage, as though he were little less
than an archangel. The latest develop
ment of this craze has been the eager
ness which towns are showing to secure
a nobleman for their mayor. l always
felt contempt for the London county
council, since it elected a peer as its
chairman, entirely unconnected with
TIE metropolis, and utterly IMMERSED in
municipal matters. This was the work
of men calling themselves radicals.
And now various towns are groveling
a: the feet of some peer resident in its
neighborhood imploring his lortiship to
do it the honor of allowing himself }
be nominated it's mayor. Why? Simply
and solely because he is a lord, for
were he neighboring Jones it would
occur to no one to press the post on
him. Municipalities ought to consist
of men. not only townsmcn, but men
who have shown themselves useful
townsmen, and If one man more than
another ought to be permanent resi-
dent i'm a town, it is its mayor. In
Italy, during the middle ages, town
used to invite some baron to be it's
patron. This was because he was a
man of war and commanded men of
war, and, therefore, could defend the
burghers against their enemies. But
barons are not needed in England to
defend towns against hostile raids,
and to select nobleman rs n decora-
tive chief magistrate of town is the
very climax of rampant snobbery.-

FOUNDATION STOCK.
A Subject That should BE Studied by
Every Progressive breeder.


Every Progressive Breeder.
AS foundation principle, says Prof.
Morrow, we want to use for the sire and
dam hogs that have those characters
tics we desire and have those fixed by
good breeding 1t Is in accordance with
the best practice and with the best
theory that, given reasonable purity of
breeding, it is more important to have
an additional merit in the sire and dam
SO, in descending scale, Us we go back.
If we will Dear in mind that in going
back only ten generations. we are each
of us carrying the blood of 1924 men and
women in our veins, If there have been
no intermarriage of relations, we will
see we need not worry about what our
tenth parental ancestor was. So when
man tells me the good points of GER
tain breed of hogs way back in 1900 1t
don't carry much weight. AS rule,
we had better look to the individual
merit. He thinks we make mistake
in breeding when we insist upon get
ting coarseness, perhaps length of body,
in the dam and look for compact and
possibly slightly effeminate male.
Among hogs the male, as a rule, is
coarser than the female.
There may wisely be distinction
made in the practice of the professional
breeder and the common breeder who is
raising hogs, not for breeding purposes,
but to be sold in the market. Let the
first, as far as possible, breed from ma
ture stock. Let him see that his hogs
get good deal of exercise. Prof. Nor
row has no faith whatever in the wis
dom of the practice of combining any
animal designed for breeding purposes
without exercise, summer or winter.
On the other hand he would not have
the farmer who breeds hogs for the
general market be overly careful. 1t
will not do to say that II is wise for him
to breed only from mature animals. He
will not do it, and as rule he would
make less money if he did. If he will
renew his stock from the skillful pro-
| fessional breeder he will make more
money by breeding from comparatively
young animals. and as soon us may be
turning off the dams for pork, than he
will by following the practice SO impor-
tant to the professional breeder. 1t will
be wise for the producer of the pig that
he wants to sell for pork, to feed liber-
ally and well at as early an nge as
| practicable. -Farmers' Voice.

no-Mud Cure and Lithia Water Baths.
INDIANA MINERAL SPRINGS, Ind, Jan.
Especial During the year 1895 large
number or physicians from all over the
country have personally Investigated the
remarkable natural combination of cures
found here for rheumatism, kidney and
ing Of the Magno-Mud Cure and Magno-
drinking of Magno-Lithia water, has been
found by the profession to be the most re-
markable and successful remedial power as
yet discovered. The end of the year brought
reports from many eminent medical men,
number OF whom have discussed and rec
commended the cure In the leading medical
journals
Since the accidental discovery of the
virtues of Magno-Mud and Lithia water
four years ago, this little valley has become
world-famous. A big hotel has been built
with all modern improvements, electric
light steam heat, and directly connected
with q large bath-house especially con-
structed for the requirements Of Magno-
Mud and Lithia Water Baths. People in
search of -est health and pleasure from all
over the United States have come in num-
bers to tax the capacity of the establish
ment, and have gone to help spread the
fame OF the cure.
The proprietors, the Indiana Springs Co.,
have opened offices at 105 Hudson st, New
York City, and 45 Randolph St, Chicago,
where all detailed IL formation can be OBJ

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Over-fat hens are in danger Of apo
plexy.
Wheat is among the best foods for
laying hens.
Keep the hens scratching IL you
would keep them laying.
Generally it is not a good plan to feed
stimulating food to poultry.
The quality of the eggs depends large
ly upon the food given to the hens.
Except for feeding soft food troughs
should not be used. Always scatter
grain.
While sour milk is relished by the
hens, il should not be made to take the
place of water.
The goose will lay about as many
eggs as the turkey and can be raised to
maturity at about onc-half the cost.
Ducklings are much more easily fed
than chickens. Nothing seems to dis
agree with them as long as it is sweet.
One advantage in raising ducks,
rather than chickens, is that they grow
almost twice as fast. are free from YER
min and less liable to disease.
The guinea is n useful fowl, notwith-
standing its peculiarities. 1t lays a
large number Of eggs, which, though
small, are of good quality and nutri-
tious.
A goose is not fully matured at one
year old, but sometimes breeders will
couple old males with young females.
Avoid getting them too fat, and give
them plenty of opportunity for exercise.

DISEASES OF POULTRY.

VIII Never Pay to Attempt the Cure of

II fowls are kept clean and well
sheltered from the wind and wet, and
not overfed and have due proportion
OF both soft and green food, and a
never-failing supply of clean water,
they will usually remain free from dis
ease, unless injected by strangers.
when disease does occur among fowls
~ may usually be ascribed to our vari-
able climate, to dampness and cold,
70 injudicious feeding and to an ILL
ventilated roosting house. We would
therefore recommend, says an author
Ivy, as cure in chief for all the ills
'owhich poultry is subject, the practice
Oh the old saw, IAN ounce of preven-
Ton is worth pound of cure" And a
good general rule for the cure of sick
ness is that il be killed without de-
lay, for unless the birds he valuable
ones, il will never pay to attempt a
cure. and rarely so If they are. A
diseased fowl, as will be the result of
general observation, is never kindly
treated by it's healthy companions,
and, as most of the diseases to which
,hey are liable are highly contagious,
IL not killed and thus summarily dis
posed OF, IL should be at once removed
from the flock and confined by itself
