Among the smaller countries the re-

FIRST SILVER WEDDING.


The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hughes Cap,t, king
vi France, in 8ST.
Oncc as as Hugues was arranging his
uurie's affairs he found on one OF the
estates a servant who had grown gray
in the service OF his relative. lie had
been such II friend of his masters that
he was almost looked upon as one Of the
family,
On the farm with this old man was
! also a serving woman who was as old
as he, and also unmarried, aud whohad
been the most devoted and hard-work-
ing of the women servants of the kings
J uncle, When the king heard these
praises Of the two, he ordered them to
/ be brought before him, and said to the
woman:
Your service is great. greater than

work and obedience harder than Il mau,

A very curious occurrence took place
recently in Vienna, when a patient In a
lwnatic asylum delivered d lecture at his
own request on the popularity of his
mental state The patient, who is a man
ci first-class education and exceptional
mental powers, is liable to what is
known as circular insanity. That is to
say, he isonly affected periodically, and
between his fits he is as sane q man as
one could wish to meet. His speech dur
ing the lecture was most brilliant, be-
ing characterized by exceptional clo-
9ucnce and considerable wit. The Leo
ture lasted an hour, and during that
time he contrivcd to hold his audience
without a break. His look and bcssring,
which were those Of d scholar, made Il
weli-nigh impossible for his hearers
tc associate him with insanity In any
lorm.-Tit-Bits.

Understanding permits the air and
warmth to penetrate to the roots OF
plants.
Always use sufficient bedding in the
stables to absorb and save all of the
liquid manure.
When a farmer buys a thing that he
al produce as cheaply, he is running
opposition to himself.
Common red clover and orchard
grass do weil together, because they
ripen al about the same time.
Make, save and apply all of the
manure possible. 1t is the poorest Of
economy to allow manure to go te
waste on the farm and try commercial

: REQUIRES JUDGM EMIT.
Starting n Herd of Thor0uGhbreds L.
Il Serious LMlertaking.

A"sF
We have received numerous inquiries
from young breeders throughout the
country of late, asking our advice as tc
the advisability of starting in the pure
bred swine business, and how they shall
go about ii to build up a herd. This
is a subject upon which we do not wish
TO give advice, says the Prairie Farmer,
for the reason that very much of the
success of the swine breeding business
depends upon the adaptability of the
breeder to the business. Where one
breeder will succeed and make none
out of the business, another, under like
conditions, will totally fail, and this is
perhaps, wholly due to the want OF
his liking to the business or his judg.
ment in carrying on the business.
We do not know Of any time in the
history of pure-bred swine breeding
when there was so favorable an oppor'
tunity for young men to work into the
business. But it must be done in 4
careful, %judicious way, and expansion
must come with maturing Judgment.
There is a constantly increasing de.
mand for the best sort Of pigs that ex.
perienced breeders can raise. and we
think that the demand for them will
not decrease for many years to come.
Our first advice would be TO all who
wish to enter the business to post them.
selves up well as to details--not only
as to the proper handling and manage
ment of the old and the young stock,
but as to the breeding of popular fam
lilies and getting them into line with
such stuff as there will likely be a de.
mand for.
There would be just as much reason
in a manufacturer loading up his ware.
house with a lot of goods for which he
anticipates a demand after awhile. bu,
for which there was no present call, as
there is for a breeder to raise uncallcd
for stuff. A breeder must produce just
such things as the buyer wants. and II
the taste OF the buyer changes year after
year the breeder must change with him,
1t is all right In sentiment to educate
the buyers up to what you have to SELL
If you can do it, but many have found
this process uphill work.

We generally think that the wide.
awake and up-to-date farmer has the
advantage in everything. He general,
has, but the old saying that no rule is
without its exception holds good here.
The farmer who keeps the best hogs
cannot grow a good quality of bristles.
II he has one of the hairy breeds that
show strong vitality the bristles from
a two or three-year-old boar may be
worth keeping as hristles. But they
will be far inferior to bristles from thp
wild hog as It ranges the forests OF
continental Europe. The best brands
Of hristles have always come. ard prob.
ably will continue to DO so, from Rus.
sia. They are very stiff. ard not even
the bristles from the wild hog as II
runs in southern woods are as good
Probably our southern wild pigs are
mostly killed before they have attained
age enough to have their bristles mn.

A Cooperative Effort.

A Minneapolis man once invited a
friend to dine with him, and neglected
to telephone his wife TO that effect.
In order to make matters worse, both
host and visitor stopped in at the club
on the way home, and consequently
were late for dinner-very late. The
dilatory husband undertook to explain
his hardness while dinner was being
served and put up a rather over
plausible defense in the line of bust
ness complications coming up at the
very last moment before he should have
left the office. The hostess heard him
