and labor enough in ringing 20 hogs
to pay for itself the first time. The
hogs should be confined in a close pen
so that the one who handles the holder
can walk up behind them and reach over
and slip the larger stirrup-shaped end
over the snout and into the mouth.
The hog will back up and the operator
standing in front can very easily hold
any hog perfectly still. 1t is easily
adjusted, easily taken out, and when in
use gives a leverage upon the upper jaw
which perfect control of the

CURRENCY

The Chicf Work for Congress at the Win
ter Session The Administration VIII
frame a Bil-It VIII Call to Its Aid
Some of the Closest Students of the Cur.
rency and. Banking Problem In the Prep
aration of the Measure.
CHICAGO, June 27.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington, d. c.,
Bays:
Currency reform is to be the chief
business of congress next winter.
president Mckinley has decided full
ly that he will not send to congress, at
this session, a message suggesting the
creation of a currency commission, as
he had intended a short time since.
Instead of a committee to investigate
the subject and report to congress. an
administration bill is to be drawn and
presented to congress next winter.
THE preparation of this Measure is
to be the special work of Secretary
Gage, but he Is to have the assistance
of Comptroller Eckels and of a number
of other officials and public men who
are close students of the currency and
banking problem.
This measure, when prepared, is to
be submitted to the president, and
after receiving his approval will GO to
Speaker Reed and to a number of lead
ing republican senators. If any of
these have serious objections to its de-
tails an effort will be made to harmon
ize all the differences, so that when
the work OF passing it through congress
is entered upon there may be no delays
through republican dissensions.
1T is said that this administration
measure will be a comprehensive and
adequate treatment of the currency
question. 1t will be in line with the
best and most progressive state of the
science of banking and currency, and
an effort will be made to put the ma
tIonal banking and national currency
systems upon a thoroughly modern and
scientific basis.
There will be ample provision for q
safe and elastic credit currency on
some plan similar to that employed in
Canada, or in that recommended in
what is known as the Baltimore plan.
The gold reserve will be protected, as
other nations protect their bullion
reserves, by destroying the endless
chain.
The vesing problem of what to do
with the greenbacks will be met fairly
and squarely. 1t is not proposed to re-
tire them them summarilv, but to
gradually convert them into other
forms of paper money. which will not
possess the power of draining the gold
reserve whenever exporters or foreign
bankers wish to do so. All that is done
in this line will be done gradually and
in such a way that the country will not
notice the change"

CATTLE ON THE FARM.
The Man Who Has Kept His Farm
Well Stocked IL Happy Now.

The Man Who Has Kept His Farm
Well Stocked Is Happy Now.
4 few years ago it was common to
hear the remark that farm lands were
too high in price TO make cattle raising
feasible or profitable. The demand this
season for beef-bred bulls would seem
TO indicate that the average farmer has
undergone a change of mind upon that
point. The fact is, farm lands have
been going down in price with too much
grain and grass and too few cattle, says
the Nebraska Farmer. At the same
time cattle have been climbing up in
the scale of prices, until all of us are
beginning to see more clearly the re-
ciprocal relations that should and must
exist between the farm lands of thisrich
corn belt region, and that class of cattle
especially adapted to the consumption
of corn. There is not a farm in the state
per acre to-day for having supported
a nerd of cattle the past ten years. The
fertility of its acres is retained instead
of being shipped away in the form of
hay and grain. 1t is, therefore, a pretty
well settled principle among farmers
that the man who stays by good cattle
through thick and thin is all the better
off for doing so. In all such matters,
of course, the general public mind is
bound to fuctuate. Cattle are in great
er favor while they are scarce in NUM-
bers, then they become less popular
with the masses as they multiply. But
the cattle man who goes right along
saving wood n year after another
for ten years, has a better promise of
success with his farm than to under
take to dodge from one thing to an
other with every wind that blows. Beef
cattle have their innings just now, and
happy is the man who has kept his lands
well stocked with good blood. He is a
sure winner in the long run

HINTS FOR

Color has nothing to do with the value
of cattle.
Good horses find ready sale in the
asst.
Don't send poor stock to market. II
is a losing game.
Badly ventilated stables are pretty
sure to injure the horse.
Corn is too heated a food to be fec
alone to horses in hot weather.
Kindness to the young animal is a
cheap way to increase it's value.
Give the growing animals plenty OF
room. They should have plenty OF
space.
A well mated team mean mated as
regards strength and endurance, rath'
er than size and color.
The Poland-China pig has made for,
tunes for many men, and will make for
tunes for many more.
If the rail fences are somewhat out OF
repair, try running a strand of barb
wire along the top of them.
Use the same gentle method with the
mule colt as is used with the horse colt,
1t will add so per cent. to the value OF
the mule.-Western Plowman.

THE HOG.
A Kansas Editor Tells He
Thinks of the Creature.

III vi ~
Among the many odes, apostrophes
md biographies written of the razor
back hog the Cottonwood Falls (Kan.)
Leader gets put a good one THE razor
back is a breed of hogs raised in the
south before the war and still to be
found in some localities. He is built
on the S~wiss-cottage style of architec-
ture. His ears lay back with a devil
may-care air. His tail has no curl, but
hangs limp as a dish-rag. The highest
point of his corrugated back is ten
inches above the root of the tail. He
ignores the slow, stately walk of the
Berkshire and goes in a lively 2:10 trot.
He always travels as if he were trying
to catch a train which had just whistled
for the station and he had a quarter OF
a mile to go.
1.-The thoroughbred razor-back prowls
around the woods, living OF acorns, nuts
and roots, and, if necessary, can climb
a tree like a monkey. Occasionally he
crowds under a gate and assists in ar
vesting his owners corn crop, and il
he has any time to spare from his own
tr's crop he will turn in and assist his
neighbor, often working at night rather
than see the crop spoil for want of at
tention. He never knew the luxury of
q sty. He wouldn't get fat if he could
and is only fit to kill on the day OF
eternity.
Crossing the razor-back with the
~blue-Dlood stock makes no improve
ment. The only successful way is to
cross him with a locomotive going 30
miles an hour. He then becomes an inn
ported thoroughbred and the railroad
company pays for him at the rate of
so cents a pound. The ham of a razor
back is almost as juicy as the ham of an
iron fire-dog, but not quite as good eat
ing as sassafras bark. \ man who is au-
thority on razor-backs says a razor
back is the only bird of prey that is
amphibious in its habits and can lift
a gate off its hinges without rutliing a
feather"

HIS ARGUMENT A BOOMERANG.
Court and Jury Enjoy a Laugh at .
Lawyers Display of Ignorance.

Court and Jury Enjoy a Laugh at o
Lawyers Display of Ignorance.
The nervous, why little lawyer ran
his bony fingers through his shock of
bright red hair, squared his shoulders
and turned towards the jury. His frame
quivered with suppressed excitement.
His small, yellow eyes were full OF bale
full glitter. 1t was apparent he was
about to deliver a telling blow upon
the opposition.
His immediate victim was the witness
in hand, who had been called to the city
to testify in a damage suit for personal
injuries, on trial IN the superior court.
The doctor was a pac~ific-looking man.
tall, awkward, smooth shaver. and of
heavy features, denoting a phlegmatic
disposition. The jury had discovered
he possessed a vein of humor that eX-
pressed itself in occasional dry WITH
cisms and drolleries.
The doctor had happened to be the
first person on the scene when the law
yer's client, a ~12-year-old boy living on
the West side, had been run over by a
cable ear. The attorney was trying to
shake his testimony, which was to the
effect the boy said, just after the acci-
dent, he was trying to steal Il ride by
catching on the side of the car, when he
Slipped and fell under the wheels.
Doctor" said the attorney, wasn't
the boy under the influence of opiates
when he made that statement"
NO. He said that first thing, before
the operation"
well, you can't be sure after two
years just when he said it. Isn'tit true
you gave the boy opiates before you
dressed the Lego"
NO; didn't give him opiates at ALL"
what? Do you mean you operated
on that boys leg without giving him
any opiates to keep him from suffer-
ing?"
"Yes. Ididn't give him any opiates."
Here was the lawyers opportunity.
his mdnne was tragic rs he cast a
hateful glance at the street car COM
pany's witness and turned to the jury.
Gentlemen of the jury" ne cried,
"this great corporation comes into
court to fight the claim of this boy. a
cripple for life, and asks you to believe
the testimony of this man, who con-
fesses himself an inhuman wretch.
Think of the agonies that boy suffered
while the operation was in progress,
and still this human fiend gave him no
opiates to relieve his suffering. See
him smile as he sits there on the wit
ness stand. He is gloating yet over tine
memory of this poor child's pain"
The doctor kept on grimly smiling
until the lawyer paused to let his words
strike in on the minds and consciences
of the jurors, then with a slow turn Of
the head towards the jury box, with a
half apologize drawl, the doctor said:
1--WE don't use opiates in surgical
operations; Use anaesthetics."
If the court had ordered the bailiff
to remove from the room all who
laughed the little red-haired lawyer
would have been left alone with his
thoughts.-Chicago Tribune.
