WHEN HOGS ARE RIPE,

Information Obtained by Jerry Rusk
From Western Farmer.
Gov. Rusk happened to drive over the
State line once into Wisconsin, looking
at the farms He was particularly
struck with one farm, on which he
found everything in first-class order,
and riding up to the house, inquired the
name of the owner, when a tall German
came out and gave his name as
Theodore Louis
What do you regard as the greatest
wealth-producing agency in agricult-
ure?" the Governor asked him.
THE hog" was the sententious reply.
Upon what do you base this state
ment?"
The conversation which ensued de-
veloped the fact that Louis had once
been what is called an all wheat farm
er and kept constantly sinking into
debt He decided that something had
to be done quickly or there would be
very little left for Louis. so he decided
to try the hog. The first year he made
little money, the second year he made
more, and then he became thoroughly
/ interested. The result was that he be-
came recognized az a great authority
on hogs. His neighbors took up his ex-
ample, and mortgages began to be
lifted, until finally there was not one
on record against that community.
How long would you keep a hog?"
asked Gov. Rusk
I would not keep him-I would kill
| him."
"When?" W.
when he is ripe"
when is he ripe?'
When he is fat.''
Wouldn't it pay to keep the hog for
two or three years?'
81 tried that once" said Louis Il
took hog in the fall and weighed him,
and l took my corn and weighed it,
When spring came the corn was all
gone and the hog weighed about what
he did in the fall That made me say
next year that I would kill my hogs in
the fall and save my corn
How much does it cost to keep a
hog through the winter?'
| Three dollars"
How manw hogs winter in Min
! nesota?"
zone million. I have just looked al
| the Auditors report"
| "Do you mean to say that we lose
100000 a year in wintering our
| hogs?"
Eyes that's what do. If you xii
them all in the fall, you will have left
in your cribs $3,000,000 worth of corr
to sell"-Atlanta Constitution.

few days before the battle of Gettys7
burg was fought General Meade had an
important message to send to General
Harding, a hundred miles distant. AS
the route was through a country
swarmlng with rebels, the message was
written on tissue paper, that 1t might
be swallowed in case the carrier was
captured. The commander was in
doubt regarding suitable messenger.
He summoned General Davis to head
quarters.
General, who is the hardest rider, as
we'll as the most trustworthy man, in
the service?" asked Meade.
Colonel Parsons, SIR" was the
prompt reply.
Send him to me at once"
1t was six o'clock on a Monday night
when General Meade gave the young
officer his instructions. He was to ride
with all haste to General Harding's
headquarters and return at once with
an answer. N....
The messenger retired. Two hundred
miles were to be covered. The roads
were heavy, and they led through the
enemy,s country.
Exactly at noon on the following day
Colonel Parsons entered General
Meade's tent. The latter's face grew
purple with rage, and he ripped out a
string of oaths.
us this the way you obey orders?"
he thundered, What are you hanging
around, camp for? You ought to be
with General Harding by this time"
II have just returned from General
Harding, sir"
you lie!" exclaimed the exasperated
general
Parsons face paled, and he dug the
nails in his hands to restrain himself.
General Meade" he said, in voice
that i'll concealed his anger 'if you
were not my commanding officer, l
would knock you down for that insult. "
without the formality of a salute, he
turned on his heel and left the tent.
Meade afterward made an apology.
Colonel Parsons killed two horses and
went himself without a particle of food.
For eighteen hours he. was not out of
the saddle.

AT EPwoRTH NJ. e. CHURCH.

A Very Interesting Children's Day
Service - A Beautiful Scene Pre-
scented.
Children's day at Epworth NJ. e.
church was quite q memorable occasion
and was highly interesting to the large
congregations present, In the morning
several young children were baptized.
and the pastor preached a delightful
discourse upon the topic, "a Kings
Glory Darkened" His texts were: "Con-
slider the lilies of the field" and Solo
mon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these" The young pastor
eloquently pictured the glory of Solo
mons kingdom and then taking up
bunch of flowers spoke Of the golries
of the floral kingdom, besides which
solomon's glory paled into insignia
cance
He spoke of the magnificence of Sob
omon's royal robe and yet seen under
the magnlfying glass Solomon's royal
robes would have displayed coarseness
while with the same test the flowers
show greater perfection. The colors of
flowers In all their varying beauty and
combinations We're spoken of evidence
ing Gods wonders and benticence.
Then the royal profusion of flowers
was spoken of, there being over 100000
varieties. The relations of flowers to
human life and soul life were spoken
of and beautiful Illustrations and prao-
tical, moral and religious lessons APP
propriate to the hour were deducted.
The exercises by the children of the
Sunday school added to the interest of
the occasion. A large national flag
was stretched out near the pulpit and
upon it number of the children, one
by one, placed a star, the lettering on
which spelled Claw, Intelligence, Fra
ternity, Temperance. Uprtghtness and
Patriotism" the initial letters in diff
erent color from the rest spelling the
words Lift up which together with
the lettering already on the flag spelled
out, Lift UP the young peoples repub-

ing and beautiful. Further illustra-

NATURAL EAT.
Getting Fat is Only Question of Eating
Proper Food.


Getting Fat is Only u Question of Eating
Proper Food.
Thin people who want to get fat
should eat proper food and digest 1t,
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is
that they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They
are slowly being starved. They are
poisoned by the products Of fermented
and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial gentle,
natural vegetable digestive. attacks the
food in your stomach just like the di-
gestiVe juices, and turns it into health
full nourishment. 1t helps your stom-
ach naturally. 1t makes thin dyspep-
tics fat. 1t makes poisonous blood
pure. 1t tones up and cures the stom-
ach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like
| Shaker Digestive Cordial, because
nothing else goes SO naturally about it.
| This is why it has been so successful
in relieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
| weakness, bad taste, fever, f1atulence,
constipation, loss of appetite, headache,
neuralgia, rheumatism, etc, by curing
the disorder which causes the symp-
| toms.
A few doses will prove its value, but
you won't get fat on one bottle.
