THE M'kINLEY BABY.

Marjorie Mex. Morse to he the White
House Pet TIL 1000.
Every national administration has
It's infantile pet. The Harrison admins
tration had Baby Mckee, Cleveland had
Ruth and Esther and Marion. Maj. Nc
Kinley will have Majorie Mckinley
Morse, aged two years, and the only
baby in the whole Mckinley family.
Miss Morse is Californian and the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George T..
Morse, San Francisco.
Marjorie is the only baby among all
the various branches of the Mckinley
family, and therefore the major is more
than anxious to have her with him at
the white house. Miss Marjorie is said
to be remarkable child in many ways,
and despite her youth can read fluent
ly, recite prettily, and incidentally
charm all who come in contact with her.
Mr.. Morse is, of course, enthusiastic, as
dutiful fathers should be, and when
speaking of his child the other day he
had this to say:
1--WE will reside in the white house,
suppose, during our stay in Washing
ton. We will return in May, and then,
when the weather is more suitable for
her, we will go east again, taking Mar
jorie with us.
Marjorie is the only baby in the en-
tire Mckinley family, and the president
is very anxious to have her with him.
She is very pretty and bright child,
and-oh, of course, know it may seem
somewhat fiat or familiar for a father
to praise his own child-but, the fact is,
that everyone who comes in the house
is delighted with little Marjorie. Now,
when little girl only two years old
can read book wherever it is opened,

If you show her picture in book and
tell her about it, she never forgets it.

FARMERS AND THE TIMES.
Fears that the Farmers VIII Overdo tho
Cotton business.


We very much fear that the large
crop of cotton proposed to be planted
by our farmers this year will send the
price down to Improbable figures.
But the value of the total crop does
not depend altogether upon the value
of the lint, as was once the case. Prop
erly utilized, the seeds are worth mil
lions of dollars. With reasonable
yield there will be for sale, for cattle
feed or for fertilizing, not less than
100000 tons, after reserving enough
for planting purposes. These seeds
should be worth to the farmers S40,-
100000 to 100000, 900. Thy are
worth that much for feed, in
the form of meal and bulls.
Therefore, we are invoking no SYM
pathy for the farmers on account of
their short-sighted policy of raising big
crops of cotton, or anything else. When
they become desperately in need of
sympathy we will order some from the
factory. But they are preparing for
big crops othen than cotton. Improved
machinery and improved methods en-
able farmers TO make not only big crops
of cotton, but big crops of corn, wheat,
sorghum, potatoes and other things VIC
can't think Of now, and these will en-
able them to add thereto big crops of
milk, butter, beef, pork, poultry, wool
and mutton. There are more things in
this good southern soil than cotton
and the seeds thereof, and our
farmers are learning how to get
them out. OF course something de-
ponds on the seasons hereafter, but we
are not pessimistic, if Brother Hall did
predict another drought this year in the
southwest. We saw no indication of
the fulfillment Of his prophecy last
week when umbrellas and overshoes
were at premium; and we have but
little faith in prophets of evil anyway.
The short feed crops last year have be-
gotten desire for an abundance of the
same this year-a desire our farmers
are preparing to crafty. Prospects
were never better for full crops OF
grain, forage and roots about the last
of March. The cotton prospect has
not budded out yet but we expect soon
to see the full inforesence. With plenty
OF water in rich and retentive soil,
energy, industry and good tools, we
may well trust the rest to Providence,
and utilize the first opportunity to en-
large our corn cribs, grain bins, barns
and stables. Under ordinary condi-
tons We have 20 trouble about 10,

Preserve the Pasture.

Stock ought not to be turned into the
pastures in the spring until the grass
has made a good start, as early pastur-
ing tends to kill out the grass. Then
pastures are often injured by the stock
being allowed to tramp over them when
the frost is coming out of the ground
and is soft. Another way that pastures
are seriously injured is by allowing the
stock, or rather compelling the stock
to eat too close during the hot weather
OF midsummer. Still another way in
which pastures are injured is by allow
ing the grass to be eaten down too
close in the fall or early winter.
A good pasture well seeded
with good variety OF grasses
is too valuable to be damaged in any
way when it is impossible to avoid it.
Generally it will pay to grow some soil
ing crop that can be cut off and fed out
as needed, so as to save any necessity
for close cropping, and a larger amount
of feed in the end be received, and at
the same time the stock be kept in a
better condition. Areally good pasture
will furnish more feed during the best
part of the season, and will carry a
larger number of stock later on when
the conditions of growth are less fa-
yorable, and by growing more soiling
crops there will be less waste of feed
all through the season.-Rural World.

sows Eating Their Pigs.

The owner is often to blame for sows
eating their pigs. lie pens the SOW up
in close pen or bare lot; throws in a
small bunch of straw; gives sow some
corn, and perhaps some water, morn
ing and evening" and that is all the
care she gets the whole winter through.
In the spring she farrows six or eight
little scrawny pigs that are not strong
enough to stand. She is uneasy, gets
up, surveys the struggling mass for a
moment, then begins her feast, and
swallows every last pig. Why does she
do this? Because corn is lower in price
and less trouble to feed than mill feed.
Or, in other words, she has had no 9TH
er feed but corn for four months. Her
digestion is poor. She is feverish and
irritable and Graves something besides
corn. Her pigs give her the first change
of diet. She eats them to appease that
terrible craving appetite.
1t is not all sows that eat theiryoung
from improper feeding, but with nine
teenths of them it is the cause. This
know by observation and inquiry.
Your sows should have plenty of ex-
ercise. Let them have the run of an
old clover sod or woods pasture, as this
all goes toward keeping the system in
a healthy condition. Feed plenty OF
laxative food, such as oats, either
ground or whole, or mill feed. But feed
in slops. Better sell part of your corn
and invest the money in such feed; il
would pay you better in the end. Your
pigs would be strong and healthy al
birth. Your sows would be ready tc
go to work, quiet and gentle, with q
good flow of milk of bone and muscle
forming qualities, which is the most
essential part of pig growing. Keer
salt, charcoal and ashes by the sows al
