some of the finest specimens of real colonial
furniture which have been sold in New
York of late years have come from South
Carolina and her sister States In the North,
however, the fashion was more likely be-
mind England than before it, and anything
very early colonial in mahogany is to be
viewed with suspicion, especially If met with
IN the open market. The appreciation OF
such relics began in New England twenty
years and more ago, and most of the not
very numerous specimens have long since
been discovered and bought up, or
brought out from back halls and garrets.
The first colonists, at the North, especially,
were poor or modest people. and furniture
was not very plentiful among them. In Ply

1854 there were just fifty-six chairs; in Bos-

For number Of years the tendency in
prices OF grain has been downward and the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer in the way of
commissions have become Of more and more
Importance to the producer. This reduction
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
by dealers in half dozen cities which are
reaching out for the grain business of the
west. The public warehouses have been
most important factor in furnishing to the
farmers OF Illinois broad and active mar.
ket. This has been done without interfer-
ing with the business Of the country grain
merchants. A system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory to
the country at large, but apparently is not
satisfactory to little coterie of dealers on
the Chicago Board of Trade. This coteris
has attacked the proprietors of public Gle
vators on every possible ground and has de-
MED them the right in common with other
grain merchants to buy and sell grain. The
public warehousemen for years have dealt
in grain and the competition stimulated by
their position in the trade has been most
beneficial to the interests OF the farmer.
While tho custom of warehousemen deal
ing in grain has been established by GUS
tom the Illinois statutes are silent as to their
rights and powers. The bill now in the leg
meets any objection which could be raised
to their acting IN the capacity of grain mer-
chants and warchousemen at the same time.
The proposed legislation is in the interests
Of the producers Of grain throughout tho
state and should be enacted. The opposi.
ton comes from the Chicago Board of Trade
people who have been persistently fighting
the elevator interests for years. They have
raised the cry Of monopoly and are attempt
ing to discredit the warehouse bills. They
have made the most reckless assertions rs
to the prospective results under the pro-
posed law, while the fact is that the law does
not contemplate any new order OF things,
hut simply q continuation of the system
which 10 familiar to the state at large. The
people leading the attack on the bill are
singularly inconsistent. Their objection to
warehouseman dealing in grain is that he
is placed in a position to discriminate be-
tween himself and other owners of grain
stored in his warehouse to the prejudice
Of the other owners. This objection is fully
met by the section which provides for SUI
pervision OF the warehouse business by the
state. The Chicago Board Of Trade less
than two years ago made demand on the
warehousemen for Just such supervision as
IL now contemplated, but which could not
be granted without a change in the state
laws.

PIG PEN POINTERS.

With good clover pasture hogs can
be made to fatten very rapidly and at
low cost.
AS soon as the pigs are two weeks old
begin to feed them in side trough.
This will push them along nicely and
save the SOW.
There il encouragement in the gen.
eral acquiescence in the policy Of Civ
ing swine range-plenty Of grass and
clover, and less of the everlasting corn
diet. We no longer aim at masses Of
living lard.
Boar pigs that are doing service need
careful attention and good feeding. Do
not feed any great quantity Of corn; try
q few peas, ground oats and handful
of oil meal, and exercise them as much
- possible.
In majority of cases, however good
may be the clover patch which the farm
er has for his hogs. it will pay to buy
supply of ship-stuff to feed with it..
This for the sake of variety and for the
good of the pasture.
Plenty of hogs are killed by quack
nostrums when cholera is supposed to
be in the herd. Aconite and concen-
trated I've are fed plentifully and hogs
die. Starvation is better treatment
than rank poisons indiscriminately fed.
We can reduce the cost Of pork by
reducing the time in which we grow it.
A 20O-pound pig, well marked with lean,
Is demanded. This can be got ready in
six months often, and where butter
dairy is run considerable greater
weight can be procured.-RuralW World.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

From 35 to 40 ducks and brakes are
allowed in pen.
The shell of an egg contains about Is
grains Of salt Of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed in
barrel for shipment.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs in
about seven months laying.
Build the house ten by ten feet for
ten fowls, and the yard ten times larger.
Ducklings are marketed at five pounds
weight, which they attain in ten weeks.
Thirteen eggs are considered setting,
though many breeders are now giving
IS. -... .aa
Ten dozen eggs year is the average
estimate given as the production of the
hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as an
average for the annual output of the
turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 20 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double
the amount.
Between 40 and so degrees is the prop
err temperature to keep eggs for hatch
ing during winter.
Eggs intended for Matching should not
be kept over four weeks. They must
be turned over every day or two.
1t will require seven pounds Of
SKINNED milk to equal one pound Of
lean beef for flesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost Of keeping a fowl year, and the
same amount is fair estimate of the
profits.-Poultry Monthly.

STRONG COLONIES.

without Them Beekeeping IL nsse q
BE . Disappointment.
One Of the difficult things for the
novice in beekeeping TO learn is that
ten strong colonies will store more
honey than twenty weak ones. There
Is an anxiety for large numbers, and
each colony is counted one, no matter
how feeble it may be. So the mex
perienced Il often delighted at get
ting two, three, or even four or five
swarms from a single colony, notwith-
standing the fact that the last two
or three swarms contain only hand
full OF bees. They make sure to die be-
fore the winter is over, and then he de-
cides that he doesn't care for such very
weak colonies. but still clings to tho
thought that ono strong enough to
live through il is all right.
Many times. however, II il true econ
omy to lesson the number. even with
the view of having the largest num-
Der possible in the succeeding fall.
Suppose, for instance, there are four
weak colonies in the spring. each one
having enough bees to fairly cover
two combs. Unite two of them and
leave the other two without uniting.
You now have only three colonies in
stead Of four, and yet you may be bet
ter of; for the one colony, with bees
to cover four combs, will go right on
increasing in strength, and by the time
the white clover harvest is fairly under
way II will be strong enough to give
you a rousing swarm, and you will
now have two strong colonies for it,
while the two weaklings have only just
begun fairly to build up. They stood
still, not showing any increase in mum.
Der for long time, evidently needing
all the strength they had to keep up
existence and make good the loss Of the
dying bees by the young bees raised.

effort be to get all the honey possible,
supposing neither colony offers to
swarm, the difference is fully as notice.
able, II not more SO. The united colony
will have moro bees than there are in
both the others. 1t is easy to see that
II will store more surplus. But if you've
had no experience in the matter it may
be hard for you to believe how much
more.-Farmers' Union.

No matter how convenient a pile OF

TIPS ON DARNlNG.
Begin with n Long Thread and Run
1t Well on Each Side.

Begin with n Long Thread and Run
1t Well on Each Side.
The secrecy of this homely art lies in
running the thread of the darning cot
ton so far on each side of the hole that
it does not Immediately fray and pull
out the goods.
Take long thread of darning cotton
to begin with and run it at least half an
inch along the goods on each side OF the
hole. Continue this until the hole ia
snugly covered. Now cross these
threads in regular darning style, TAX
ing care that the same precaution is OBJ
served. A stocking darned in this way
will wear, as far as the darning is con-
cerned, as long as if no hole had ex
listed.
To darn very large holes, such as are
likely to occur from having been pulled
or frayed out in the laundry, something
more than a thread of darning cotton
may be necessary, and patch must be
used. Such holes almost surely occur
in the heel, as this part Of stocking 10
usually worn thin first and is more like
ly to fray.

them it is safe to take the heel for a
model.
From the leg of an old stocking, such
as is sure to be found in your basket,
cut kite-shaped piece of goods about
five inches long and four inches across.
Turning the stocking wrong side out
and lay the kite upon the heel so that
the long-pointed end runs up the back
of the leg and the lower rounded part
is at the base of the heel.
Run stout linen thread down the GEN.
ter of the kite, taking large, loose
stitches. Now run in the same way
across the kite-shaped piece, letting the
thread be very slack. The next step is
to sew the patch lightly to the heel by
stitching it around the outside. If deft-
ly done there will be neither wrinkle
nor crease to tell the wearer that so i'm
portant an operation had taken place.
This is especially useful with chill
dren's stockings. Boys shoes are al
most sure to be harsh and ill-fitting at
the heel. This method of renewing the
heel will be found very useful in such
cases, as they can be worn with perfect
comfort.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
