A bushel of corn ought TO make ten

Between Jan. /, 1883, and Jan. /,
1896, the average price of horse fell in
this country from S7lS9 to $50. Here
is one of the reasons why farmers are
not satisfied.
Yorkshire hogs, especially of the
breeds known as the small medium
Yorks, are favorites in England, but the
Tamworths are the most highly priced
Of all there. The Yorkshires are white,
the Tamworths spotted. We should like
to see men who have time and can afford

They are breed little known in the
United States. Perhaps they would be
the hog whose meat would sell best in
England. Danish government experts
selected the English Tamworth as the
foundation for improved pork III their
country.
After a hog is months old it fat

that time. 1t is best in these times to
fatten and sell pigs at about months

Nowadays it does not pay TO keep a
hog till il is over 8 months old As soon
as pigs are old enough to eat and drink,
begin TO feed them, and keep OH feeding
till they are ready for the butcher. Give
them ground oats mixed with an equal
part of rye or wheat, ground. Feed also
bran and shorts. The feed must be
moistened. Use skimmilk for this pur-
pose if you have it; if not, water or
clean slop. Give them very little corn

SECRETARY OLSEY has stirred up the
Senatorial monkeys by saying in an IL
terview that 1.-THE right to RECOGNIZES the
so.called Republic of Cuba as an indie
pendent State res s exclusively with the
executive, and that resolution from
Congress on the subject. unless APPROX
ed by the president, would be inopera-
tive. even if passed by two-thirds vote
of each House, and would only have the
importance OF advice" As the remark
seems to convey the msaning that the
president would veto the Cameron reso-
luton if passed, and ignore it lift should
be passed over his veto unless events In
Cuba led him to belief that the time
had come for interference, the jingoes
are cutting high jinks over what they re-
gard az a denial OF the authority OF Con-
press. On the other hand many OF the
more conservative and equally as intiu-
entail members Of both Houses agree
with the secretary, including a msjority
Of the House Committee on Foreign Al
fairs. The secretary holds that there is
no Cuban government to recognize and
until one is established, Congress should
not rush madly into the breech and de-
clare for war. To which the more
Thoughtful and less excitable people will
say amen. The experiences of the Uni
ted States in war ought to teach US les
son. Another war and some more PEN
sion bills will bankrupt the country.
