Swine.

1t is folly to be continually chang
ing our breed of hogs. If you have
a good kind, stick to it. Almost
any breed is better than mixture.
If we start out to get a little of the
good qualities of all the breeds, we
are likely to wind up with nothing
but the concentrated meanesses of
the lot.
1t would seem that the chief point
toward which the pork producer
must center his skill is in warding
off disease. This a matter for in
dividual effort as we'll as combined
effort. Cholera is bound to be
abroad in the land, and there are
certain conditions which add to the
malignancy of the disease, and
others which tend to thwart it.
When a boar is full grown he will
not require rich food, although he
should be allowed enough to keep
him in good health and vigor, and
should certainly have enough OF
some kind to fill his stomach. 1t is
true that if heavily worked he
should be fed accordingly.
1t is emphatically conclusion
that the hog should never be fed
beyond eight or nine months of age
and the largest profit is found in q
weight which does not exceed 2OC
pounds. Food for mere suppor
plays a very important part in the
profit or loss of heavy weights.
Pigs now already Uttered will
have a good long time i'll which t.
grow before cold, freezing weather
sets in again this fall. The sow,
will not require much more fOoc
than those without filters. If they
have vigorous start the pigs will
be ready to wean by the time tn,
grass has a good start, and they will
grow at little cost.

Agriculture.

Few farmers can afford to be in
terested in any business but their
own. If you have surplus money to
invest, place it where it will be safe
and draw fair interest without de-
handing much attention; or it is
possible it can be employed in max
ing the farm better and more pro-
ductive.
The three forms of plant food
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
really form only small portion
of our crops, but they must be
present in sufficient quantities, or
crops will fail to grow properly. If
one or two, or all of them, are miss
ing, we must call our land poor.
Our farmers are an intellectual
wide awake class of people, but too
often they spend more than they
make. Buying ION tick" is running
many of them. If our fathers did
better in "the good old times" il
was because their wants were not
nearly so numerous as those of the
farmers of to-day, and they bought
and sold on cash basis.
Truly, there must be retrench-
ment, but it is common thing for a
farmer to chew up or puff up

Says the Kornville kaleidoscope:
"An awful fire happened in this
community last evening, at Deacon
Sleekum's red barn, which took fire.
When the fire department was sum
moned, it was found to its dismay
that the water bucket was frozen
solid with ice; and in few min
utes it was complete, total and
absolute wreck. As it is not known
what the insurance was, it is inn
possible to fix the damage"

When young we look up the hill
of the future, and view shining
scene of splendor. When old we
look down the hill and view the
wrecks of disappointment with here
and there a grave to show broken
link in the family chain.

"What would you call the sound
