TREATMENT OF G
At Eight or Nine Months of Age They
Should be in Good shape
for the Market.

All the pigs may be treated alike I'M.
III they are five or six months old, be.
cause 10 matter for what purpose they
are intended, the first work in the prep
aration for that purpose is to build up
the frame, to develop the bone and
muscle, says Texas Stock and Farm
Journal. Whenever the weather per-
mits the ows and pigs should have free
and wide range over all the farm not
devoted to cultivation, and pasturage
should be looked upon as essential to
their development. If the ~pasturage is
good the amount of roofing they will
do will not be a damage to the range
or the farm, for they will destroy many
insect pests and the exercise will be
a benefit to the animals. A patch Of
peas should be grown on every farm for
the young pigs as well as for other
purposes, and the pigs should III in
them an hour or so every day. The peas
have much the same nutritive qualities
Us milk and are cheaper. When the
pigs have them IN sufficient quantity
their frames Lave a rapid development
and they can be brought on to the corn
feeding later with less risk of injury
t:ren if they had passed through the
sunmer OF grass or alfalfa alone. But
wherever in Texas the alfalfa can De
grown, and in many portions of the
r<ate it will thrive we'll, it ought to form
n most important part in building up
:he frames Of the young animals. After
they have become five or six months old
those that are to be kept as breeders
should be separated from the animals
hat are to be fed for market. The
methods of handling the former should
cot be materially changed, and such
changes as are made in feeding the fat
tening animals should be made gradu.
ally and cautiously, watching them un.
til they have been brought 20 full feed.
At no time is it well to confine them
solely to corn. Some green stuff
should be given them, and some va.
riety of food, with plenty of charcoal
and salt. abundance of pure water. and
they should have clean, well-sheltered
quarters. Corn, of course. will be the
principal food in finishing, but il
should never be given SO freely and
exclusively as to the hogs to be-
come in the Least tired of it. And at
eight or nine months of age they should
be ready for the market.

WASHINGTON O

Occasion.

l like gratitude. l like to hear of CRATE,
full people, and an anecdote | heard recent,
ly of one Washington man has pleased me
immensely. He has recently married the
widow of a very wealthy gentleman, and
on the proceeds of the transaction he has
built a handsome house. When the house
was finished and the moving into it was ac.
complished, the wife and her mother fell to
discussing just where they should hang the
portrait of the former husband They had just
decided to hang it in a small room ON the
second floor, when the new husband came
in and heard of the matter.
Hang him UPSTAIRS" he said. "No,
stree. No, stree. That man was my bene.
factor. | owe everything | have to him. He
shall hang in the place of honor.
And husband No. l now smiles down
from the mantel Of the drawing-room.
But that makes me think of another
Washington widow who has recently be-
slowed herself and her belongings on a sec,
ond husband.
Its so Fortunate" said she to me; "my
first husbands last name began with a W,

bands first name. All Mr.. WIS handker-
chiefs are Just the thing for Willie, and |

a little milk. 1 became so bad that a trihe
too much of even these caused terrible
suffering in the regions of the stomach,
darting pains back of the eyes, attended
with dizziness and partial loss of sight.
The only way I could get relief was by vom-
iting. Finally I had such a severe attack
that the entire left side of my BODY felt
numb and partially paralyzed, and in thia
condition. l was taken to my room uncon-
scious. The physicians failed to help me,
and none of the many remedies / took did
me any good. At last a friend presented
me with a bottle of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparil.a
and before ] had used half of it. l could see
a decided change for the better. l used
three bottles and was so completely cured
that for four years ! have not been troubled
with the old complaint, but am rugged and

A Dyspeptic's daily diet.

Dyspepsia is one of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
It IN a more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up of the entire syslem. For
tify the system and 1t will do its own fight
ing. aud promptly eject any intrudinP
disease. The success of DIR. Ayers Sarsa.
parills in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the BODY.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings it up to the level of
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep-
STA is best illustrated in cases like that Of
NJ. S. Shields, Meridian, Miss. Mr.. Shields
had got down to the last level of dyspepsia.

-OAA AAS LIT : CIV 1 Ia
A resident of this town who has lost two
children during the past six years by vio-
lent deaths has been utterly Frustrated by
the shock, and seriously sick as a result Of
It. One child taged 81 was killed by a cy-
clone in 80 while at school; another, three
years later was run over by a Burlington r.
K. train. That griefs and misfortunes may
SO prey on the mind as to lead to serious ply
steal disorders has been well demonstrated
i'll this case. As a result of them, her health
was shattered and she has been a constant
sufferer since 1890. Her principal trouble
has been neuralgia of the stomach which
was very painful, and exhibited all the
symptoms OF ordinary neuralgia, nervous
ness and indigestion. Physicians did her no
good whatever. She was discouraged and
abandoned all hope of getting well. Finally,
however, a certain we'll known pill was
recommended (Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People,
She supplied herself with a quantity of
them and had not taken them two weeks
when she noticed a marked improvement in

her condition. She continued taking the
pills until seven or eight boxes had been
consumed and she considered herself entirely
cured. She can now eat all kinds of food,
which is something she has not been able to
do for years. She is not troubled in the
least with nervousness as she was during the
time of her stomach troubles.
She is now well and all because of DR..
