American continent, and il il TO be re-
GREETED that many OF the western hog
raisers do not take kindly 10 him, is
the assertion made By ]. A. Macdonald
in Hoard's Dairyman. The bacon hog
Is Synonymous with the Jersey, Guern-
sey and Iolstein, in cows, the trotter,
in horses, the MerinO, in sheep, the
Leghorn, in hens, and, like these, is
Of highly nervous organization.
The idea is 10 get an animal with
little fat and much red meat, and
nerve power. To secure this animal,
the Imperial Yorkshire and the Tam
worth, particularly the latter, with
angular forms, like that OF the dairy
COW, and the racehorse, must be Sc
cured in contradistinction 10 the
square built, broad-baeked and blocky
POland-China, Berkshire and other
breeds of the "beefy'' ham and
shoulder, lardy" hogs. The law Of
milk giving, red meat making, and
maternity, is precisely the same in the
bacon hog, as in the bovine dairy
mother. The bacon hog shows great
angularity of Conformation, a promi-
nent backbone, and we'll developed YER
tebrae-the indication Of large spinal
marrow, and strong nerve force. The
bacon hog has slightly prominent pelvic
arch, showing the strong maternal
powers, and the milk-giving function
Is shown by her udder, OF long abdom-
inal allotment, from front to rear, and
well balanced form, coupled with
strong wedge-shaped digestive capac-
ity, and her constitutions vigor is
not only shown by her large heart
girth, but by her strong, navel devel-
opment. These latter characteristics
are quite pronounced in the Tam
worth. The bacon hog is hairy ami
NAL; this is shown by her long, lean
and smallish head, and her light,
prominent, protruding eye. The bacon
hog, by reason of her highly nerv-
GUS organization, is as susceptible to
kind or abusive treatment, as is the
gentle, kittenish Jersey.
The bacon sow has the milk-giving
junction in a most extraordinary de-
gree. When not celebrating milk for
her litter, she Celebrates red meat ba-
con. The bacon SOW always impresses
one with femininity = with mother
hood. You never mistake the bacon
SOW for a barrow. Hers is the great
capacity to give milk, to bear offspring
and fifteen pigs is not an unusual lit
ter for the bacon sow.

Enthusiastically Healy, membe,
OF Parliament for North Lontb. adj
dressing meeting at Dublin, said he
regarded the new local government
act as the vestibule of home rule
There were two ways, he said. Of win.
ming the latter-either by turning the
fleets and armies against the Br;t;sh
government or by enlisting the sym.
pathies Of British statesmen. IL
favored the latter policy, and therefore
considered the refusal Of the Dublin
corporation to join in national me-
mortal to MFR. Gladstone as one OF the
grasest blunders ever committed bv
any public body.
In conclusion, he said: III America
should insist that Ireland were equally
entitled 10 self-goyernment with Cuba
and should refuse any friendship or
alliance with England until that was
granted, incaIculable blessings would
result. = 1850

New SOrk.-A special To the Press
from Washington says: A translation
Of BlancO's latest proclamation 10 the
people OF Havana has reached WASH
ington. 1t says:
"We have been vanquished and
without confederation OF our birthplace
will be tomorrow as strangers in this
eountry and emigrants 10 this portion
Of the world which today, or, perhaps,
a few weeks more, will be apart from
our Spanish fatherland.
AS strangers and as the van
pushed, / counsel you, the people of
Cuba, who deeply feel the disgrace of
their country, not to dispute any Of
the benefits which the triumph gives
TO the yielors. 1t il our obligation
now 10 be quiet, not TO take any part
in the different manifestations OF a
local political nature and even TO de-
cline participation in such affairs,
even il the right Of franchise be offered
us.
But We have one duty which
should he a duty Of love; that is to
undertake the task OF reconstruction
Of all your interests and it is your duty
also to ask for, even appeal il it be-
come necessary, from your position as
the vanquished to the victorious for a
guarantees OF your proper interests.
"lf you do as | counsel you the
United States will take care of your
lives and your interests. My mission
here soon will be finished as will be
the sovereignty Of Spain, and any one
who feels that with honor to himself
he may continue to call himself a
Spaniard, will have to matriculate his
name at the Spanish Consulate which
will be established in this city.
81 believe that have done all that |
could have done for her majesty's loyal
subjects. 1t was duty to make war
against the insurgents who never have
been grateful to Spain for her efforts
in their behalf. am convinced that
there will be no further disputes be-
tween the Cubans and the Spaniards
in the island, for it is my belief that
as soon as the Cubans begin to govern
here, they will find out how useful are
the Spaniards to them and finally
will concede to them the place they
deserve in the government OF the is
land. Your companion,

Hens and Garden.

The two do not usually thrive in
conjunction-at least, the garden does
not thrive ii the hens do. We all
know how exasperating it is to see the
fowls scratching and picking about
among our choice plants and vines,
but unless they are in some manner
restrained there is no certainty from
day TO day of their leaving them unmo-
Tested. The best way is to inclose the
garden with some sort of fence. II
p ckets are employed they will need to
be long ones, unless the fowls are OF
some of the Asiatic breeds. Wire net
ting is excellent, but in width which
will be effective is quite expensive. A
combination fence of pickets and net
ting may be built cheaply, and will
hold in defiance any hen. Make the
picket fence as usual, then stretch
two-foot wide netting (the galvanized
article, such as is intended for fenc.
ing) above that, fastening it firmly to
strips OF wood nailed TO the fence posts
and extending the necessary length
above them 10 hold the wire. The
fowls will make no attempt to scale
this fence, and the garden will thrive
and the housewives face wear smile
instead of a frown when she goes to get
vegetables for the table. On the aver
age farm it is usually advisable to give
the fowls their liberty at least during
part of the day, and by thus provid.
ing for the safety Of our treasured plants
they have the range OF the barnyard
and surrounding ground at will.-W.

Houston. "wednesday, October "a.
The first touch OF bad weather that mas
been experienced IN many weeks was re-
ported from various sections OF the south
today and caused an advance OF sqlu
points in the speculative cotton markets.
Iayerpool fukaIr.s were also 1la-64d higher

maintained an advance throughout the
day and at one time were 10 points above
yesterdays lowest. Spot prices were un-

While the fear Of damage by frost was
mainly responsible for today's improve

growing belief that cotton will strike us

traders are being ATTRACTED to the mar

The movement of cotton to market
shows no decrease OF consequence, al
though rort receipts are behind those OF

position 10 hold cotton for higher prices
prevails throughout the South is hard to
determine, but there Is undoubtedly much

of effort in this direction could be perfect
