THE FARMING WORLD.
FATTENINa HOGS.
FAN IL the Time Above All Others TO
Push the Porkers.

FAN IL the Time Above All Others 10
Push the P0rkeFs.
The corn field and the hog are COM
ing closer and closer together. just as
soon as the grain begins to dent, we be-
gin to cut up the corn and feed it to the
hogs that are to be fattened. How they
will pick up on it. The longer the hog
il kept after cold weather sets in, the
more expensive the animal is. We like
to fatten quickly and send to market,
and we can feed all the corn the hog will
eat from the stage above described
until the animal is ready to market. We
feed nothing but corn during the fat
tening season. If the animalhas been
on good pasture and fed q lot of mill
stuffs during the summer, it needs moth
ing of this kind, if it is fattened quick
~. OF course the laying on of fat must
be considered us diseased condition.
During the fattening process the hog is
hot, feverish, and as the fat accumu-
lates the organs are oppressed, and If
fed nothing but fattening food tho
bones and muscles get very little nouF-
ishment, but that will do no particular
harm unless the process is continued
fcl long time. If it is the animal
ought to be fed some millstuffs or some
thing like them. All the time the hog is
being fattened it should have plenty of
good pure water. Swill will not answer.
IT you ever had fever you wanted wa
ter, not milk, not tea or coffee, just WA
ter. The fat hog feels exactly like that.
As to keeping swine for a better mar
ket, everyone must be his own judge. l
think it is best to get them of as soon as
possible. It is all expense to keep hogs
after they are fat enough to kill, and the
question is simply this: Can You afford
to be ut the outlay of keeping hogs a
month or two for what additional price
you may get. As rule, no. The fall is
the time to push the swine. The tenn
perature is just right for the profitable
laying on of fat. It is not too hot and tits
not cold enough to use up the fat.-H. o.
Dixon, in Western Plowman.

WHAT THE EGGS COST.
The Proht Depends Entirely ON thu
Cost of the Food.

The Pront Depends Entirely ON the
Cost of the Food.
II q farmer has q flock that must be
confined in yards, and fed twice day, il
is doubtful if the eggs received will
more than pay for the food consumed.
The estimate of the cost of eggs is based
on the fact that the amount necessary
to be expended on a laying hen for one
year, provided all food must be allowed
her from the storehouse of the owner.
is one dollar, while the average number
of eggs laid by each hen during one
year is estimated at 100. This makes
every egg cost one cent. But it does
not cost one dollar year for each hen
except where they must be kept under
adverse conditions. Hens on farms
cost the farmers not over 25 cents hen
a year because the hens are self-sup.
porting during portion of the time,
and also because they consume and util.
ize great many substances that
possess no value to the farmer. It is
true that the hens occupy land that is
usually devoted to some crop, such as
grass, fruit, ETC., and which may also

profit from eggs must depend on the
cost of the food and the prices OBJ.
tained. There is a wide difference be.
tween IL cents and 20 cents dozen for
eggs, and if we estimate the cost of an
egg at one cent, the difference of one
cent dozen in the price obtained may
change profit to loss or nothing at
all. There are hundreds of farmers who
sell eggs at only eight cents dozen,
owing to distance and lack of transpor.
tation facilities to market. but the cost
of the eggs is correspondingly as low;
hence. the actual cost of an egg depends
rot only on the cost of the food, but the
conditions affecting the keeping OF
poultry. East of the Mississippi river
farmers should have no difficulty in
securing good prices compared with
the cost. 1t is not the winter eggs that
pay best. for they may bring high
prices and be scarce. The eggs which
give the most profit are produced by
hens that forage and secure their food
without being dependent upon their
owners.-Farm and Fireside.

The Practice Of soiling.

There is no question in the minds of
those who have tried it, of the great
saving made by the practice of soiling.
Experiments recently made at the
Michigan experimental station show
that about four times as much food is
obtained from meadow allowed to ma
ture hay, as from field pastured. In
soiling, the difference would probably
not be SO great, owing to the fact that
the grass of peas. or alfalfa. or whatever
is grown for the purpose, is cut before
it fully natures, but even then from
two to three times the number of ami
mails can be supported by soiling, as on
pasture.

TROUGH FOR HOGS.

from getting in the trough and keeps
the trough from spreading. Use one
piece two by six, and one two by eight
inches, nailed together, with ends nailed
on in the usual way. Take No. 9 or IL
wire and begin four inches from the
end, one side, and staple securely; then
draw the wire across angling to eight
inches from the head of the trough on
the other side, and so on. This gives
each hog space of eight inches.-D. H.

H. S. PERRY HANGED.
He Killed n Theological Student for
an Alleged Assault on His Wife.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. S.-H S. Perry was
hanged for the murder of Belly Lanier at
Decatur to-day. The execution took place
on a. gallows in the yard of the De Kalb
county Jail. Perry was taken to Decatur
from the jail in this city early this morn
ing, escorted by Sheriff Austin, of De Kalb,
and four deputies. One incident of the trip
served to show the depth of bitter feeling
Perry entertained toward the people of De
Kalb county. AS the small procession was
passing through East End Perry looked out
and saw store sign which read, Chris
tian Brothers" well, l am glad to see
there is one Christian in De Kalb county"
The condemned man seemed vastly amused
at his own sally, which drew a broad smile
from the guards When the doomed man
alighted in front of the Jail at Decatur his
attention was drawn to the smoking ruins
of % row of small houses which had burned
during the night. Among them was the
house in which Lanier, his victim, died. He
was startled by the coincidence, but made
no comment. On the ga!loWs the con-
demned man offered up a short prayer for
children. While the black cap was being
adjusted he muttered, Il did 1t in defense
of my wife" These were his last words.
Horace Stephen Perry was conducting a
small grocery business in Atlanta when he
committed the crime for which he was
hanged. To supplement the familys in
come Mrs. Perry took boarders at their
home. Piedmont avenue. and among
these was Belly Lanier, a young theological
student. The domestic relations Of the Per
rvs were not happy. Perry had become in
fatuated with woman of questionable
character. In the troubles that arose from
this liaison Lanier became involved, and as
a result Perry shot and mortally wounded
him in the courthouse at Decatur on Mon
day, March s. After lingering for a few
days Lanier died from the effects of the
wound. Both men were under arrest when
the shooting occurred, having been taken
into custody at Ingleside, to which place
Perry had followed Lanier for the avowed
purpose of avenging an insult to his wife.
Though both were searched. Perry sue
ceeded in concealing pistol, and no sooner
had the party entered the courthouse at
Decatur than he fired on Lanier. After the
shooting Perry said that his only regret
was the fear that Laner might live. He
declared that Lanier had outraged Mrs.
Perry. Lanier strenuously denied that he
had committed the assault. and before his
death made a statement in which he said
Perry was angry because he Oanier) had
told Mrs. Perry of PerryS alleged rela-
tions with other women.

the pitiful love of an ottawa Catholic
priest, the Able Richer, and Miss Cote,
beautiful young girl of seventeen. The able
braved the thunders of his church until the
last moment his affection for his lovely
bride overcoming all his scruples and years
the affair abruptly terminated. resulting
from visit of Rev. Father Mangin to
Able Richer on last Saturday evening. Rev.
Father Mangin was closeted with Able
Richer for over three hours. What trans
pired is known only to themselves, but the
result of ii is startling. The two lovers
have been separated. The girl is on her
way to a convent, where she will spend the
rest of her life. AS to the priest, he has
submitted. and is now awaiting the sem
tence which will be passed upon him by his
Grace the Archbishop of Ottawa. He will
probably be sent to monastery to do pen

scene full of anguish happened when the
girl was taken away from her lover. She
cried bitterly and wished TO die rather than
bury her lost hopes and her cherished IL
lCsions between the four walls Of a convent,
where she must renounce forever the joys
OF life and live in retirement and expiation.
Extraordinary pressure has evidently been

THE STATE FAIR.

The managers of the State Agricultural
Society are making commendable efforts to
make their fair next week so popular and
attractive that it will be a financial sue
cess. The programme has been given in the
papers from time to time. 1t is varied
one and should contain something that will
be of interest to all classes of people who
desire to make one day of the fair hol-
iday
Years ago state fairs were a great insti-
tuition. They were about the only occasion
when the people of the State got together;
probably the attendance was not larger
then than it has been in subsequent years.
but the expenses of the fair have increased
year by year while the attractions have not
been sufficient to bring out enough people
to pay the expenses. 1t is probable that
the state fair has been regarded more of an
agricultural exhibit than showing of the
general industries of the State because the
managers are all farmers and the exhibit
is made by the State Agricultural Society.
Those who have attended recent fairs can
not but have observed that the agricultural
feature has not been more prominent than
some others, while the general industries
of the State have not been so fully repre-
scented in those exhibits as they should be.
For that reason Indianapolis and other cit
les have not taken the interest in the fairs
that they should and probably would if the
exhibits and the attractions were of a more
general and popular character
This year the managers, appreciating past
deficiencies. have undertaken to make
popular exhibit and to give on each day
some feature which viii bring out a large
attendance. They may not have hit the
best thing. but there can be no doubt that
they have spared no effort to make an ex-
