The Pig Pen.

Keep size and growth foremost In
your calculations -all you can get with
good quality.
Have a separate sleeping and living
department in your pig house, and have
the bed higher If possible than the floor.
When you start in to fatten hogs don't
cram the corn into them all at once all
they will eat-but begin small and grad
ually increase the quantity.
American breeders have developed
hog breeding wonderfully. The science
of breeding and feeding has given us
model hog, that natures in eight
months, and converts our cheap grain
crops into the best pork In the world.
Worms are not infrequently the cause
of losses, preventing hogs from making
the gains they otherwise would. If CIV
en- free access to salt and ashes at all
times, they will have but little trouble
from this source Charcoal is a correc-
tive for the digestive organs.
More roots, grass and green food and
less corn in growing our pigs will de-
velop more vigor and produce better
meat. Every farm should produce tur-
nips, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and
beets for the stock, and give the pigs
good supply In winter and early fall
along with the corn.

 4 week previous, the friends of Mrs. Hearn received the invitation, and for once in their lives, if never before, their dictionaries were sought for. We all wondered what the na- tnre of the entertainment could be. We remembered full well Washing ton-Irving Salmagundi-would we be expected to give the current events of the day, or called upon to tell something of everything we knew? Inquiries were made on all sides and in every direction, but no satisfaction gained.
 We knew Mrs. Hearn was ever on the alert for something new and novel; that she is always a most charming hostess, and that her lovely Lakeside home' so artistieally furnished, was beau- tiful with pictures, sculpture; with color, sweetness, peace and hos pitality, and that an evening with her could not fail to give gladness and enjoyment.
