Swine.

To make hog raising profitable,
good health is positively necess Try.
This they can have if you see to
planning for good range for them,
where they can have the needed eX
erci5e and supply of succulent
food.
1t costs too much to try to lay on
fat in cold weather, so it is best to
put the pig in the pork barrel and
give time and food to something
which will yield surer profit. If
the pork supply for the family has
not already been replenished from
the pen, attend to it this month.
That pork will be found most deli
cate which has little or no corn in
its makeup. II we prepare for our
table such as have lived up TO this
time on milk and vegetables, with a
proper amount of wheat middlings
and ground wheat, we shall find we
have something delicious. They
will have grown rapidly and fatten-
ed rapidly.
SubstitutiOns for lard have not
proved to be an unmitigated evil.
There is no such inducement as for
! merly to fatten hogs to their greatest
gross development, and there. has
been revolution in the pork and
bacon trade of the country.
The simpler the hog pen the bet
ter. The shed which shelters from
rain and wind, gathers the warm
sunshine and gives pure air, is all
that is demanded. Such a pen is
more easily kept clean. Large, dark
houses, with windows here and
there, are a nuisance, and they are
especially unsuitable for some sea-
sous of the year. There is hardly
anything to recommend the build
ing of an extensive and expensive
house. The thing at which to aim
is the comfort of the hogs, and in
their comfort lies the secret of profit.
If made high, there is no better floor
than one of earth. Keep them dry,
with frequent changed bed, and
they will be happy and do their best
for you.

Agriculture.

Overproduction affects only the
producer who is content with the
average crop or product of the me-
dium quality; the best cereals and
choicest stock bring remuneratlve
prices even in dull times. Mark ct
ing only the excellent, he finds both
a quick sale and a profit.
When one finds that his chief crop
is not bringing him a profit, ratNer
than seek diversity. let him study
the means whereby he can get a
better yield. This may mean both
a decreased cost and better margin.
Sanitary inspection might bewlse-
~ extended TO rural districts, some
times. Doctors have too much to DO
in the country; and then in addi-
ton to the filth and bad drainage
about the premises, our farmer fam
lilies need precept upon precept as to
their manner of diet. Three times a
day grease, grease, grease-and IN
digestion. There should be more OF
the dainties from the garden, the
hen coop and the aplary, ana the
food should be healthfully cooked.
Let the frying business stop. Let
there be less of hurried gulping
down of everything, washed down
with coffee, one, two or three cups,
as the case may be. How many
farmers have no evidence of dys'
pepsia?
ifyou want the early effect from
the stable manure, spread it now
If the coarse stuff is hauled out in
the spring it will not greatly, benefit
next years crop; but haul it any
time rather than let it leach in the
barhyard.
Look about and see what your
neighbors need; it may be that you
can find market right at home,
While these neighbors are raising
staples only, 20 be shipped away,
perhaps you can feed them and
make the money.

A MAMMOTH TELESCOPE.
Philadelphia Astronomer Proposes
40 Build One 500 Times More Pow
eFfUl Than Now Exist.

If there are indeed cities on Mars. as
Schiaparelli supposed possible, Rudolph
NJ, Hunter, of Philadelphia, proposes to
let us see them. He has conceived the
idea of telescope 500 times more pow
erful than any now known, The ex-
pense of building it would be SO great
that there is no likelihood of its being
built unless as government enter
prise.
The chief feature of Mr.. Hunters in
vention is an inclined spiral track upon
which runs an enormous truck support
ing focusing apparatus, which is sim
ply an enormous concave mirror. Mid
way of the spiral track is tall tower,
which can be raised or lowered by cleo
trio power the upper part telescoping
into the lower.
An ordinary refracting telescope has
49-inch lens, and the difficulty of
building larger sizes is immensely in
creased by the impossibility of obtain
ing fawless glass in large pieces. The
Hunter telescope would have a field Of
5O0,lS4 square inches. against 1850
inches, the greatest field now known.

Reuben j Smith. 10 years old and
eccentric. has built for himself in the
town cemetery at AmeSbury. Mass. a
tomb. as he always has had a dread of
being buried in the ground The foun-
dation of the tomb is brick On this is
an arched houselilie brick tomb. laid
in cement. the walls of which are a foot

in marble three inches thick. The mar
bic panels are inlaid into corner plas-

tiers at each side. set into the brick. So

front swings an inch thick steel door
The sarcophagus is ten feet long. six
feet wide and seven feet high to pitch
of roof
The most novel feature of all this is
the way in which Mr., Smith will have
himself buried. Instead of the usual
coffin a reclining chair will be used and
the body Of Smith will be taken to the
cemetery after death in this chair. and
chair and body will lie placed in the
tomb. The entrance will he sealed up
with foot wall of brick. The steel
door will be locked and the key de-
stroyed
Mr. Smith has always been an eng
ma to the townspeople He came here
in 1867, and says he was born in Buff
falo. y. Y. in 1928. It is impossible 10
get him to say anything about his early
life He has not done any active work
for several years, yet lie seems to be
well supplied with money and pays all
his bills regularly. When he first came
to Amesbury he worked at house paint
ing for time, and later drove the hack
to the railroad station. He is d con-
slant attendant on the sessions Of court.
and has been named Judge Smith"
He is an inveterate checker player, and
spends whole days playing the game,
and it is said that there are few IN the
state who can best him at the game.
MIR Smith does not think he has
single relative living. He had sister
but she died two years ago. The old
gentleman laughs and jokes with those
who inquire about his strange burial
place. He says he has not been feeling
well lately, and that he was afraid he
would not live to see his tomb COM
pleted. The completion of the tomb has
greatly relieved his mind. and now he
says he is prepared for the end.

y or indirectly, leads to serious dis.

ly or indirectly, leads to serious dis
eases.
1t is folly to try to make money
with a low quality of stock; how
ever we'll you feed, the returns will
not be satisfactory. A man should
be ashamed to keep a stallion for
the propagation of more scrubs.
BY all means have the work horses
of the farm of the draft horse breed.
They will do the work more salts
factOrily, and with less expense aud
worry; they will sell more readily
and for better prices; it will cost
less to get them ready for market
the service fees are not high; and
there is no horse which will cost less
labor in breaking and making gen
tie.
There is no longer such a market
for mules in the South as formerly.
SOutherners are raising their own
horses, and their own stuff for feed
ing them. Improved conditions are
not little due to improved stock.
OF keeping supply of hay before
horses all the time there is no need
it is wasteful, and is sometimes
hurtful to those which are large eat
ers. Often the better way is to give
them all the good wheat, oat or bar
ley straw they will consume during
winter. with fitting ration of some
kind of grain IN addition. This is
not only the cheaper, but the better
way, with our quiet work horses.
1t certainly saves time when
farmer has team large enough to
pull a reasonable load with ease and
do large days blowing without
harm. This is at least source of
much satisfaction, and he should
grow no other kind for his own use
or for sale.

Sheep.

At one year old sheep have two
teeth in the center of the jaw; at
two years, four; at three, six; at
four, eight; at five, ten. After that
a full mouth, and the age can not
be told by the teeth.
There is but slight possibility of
this country ever having too many
sheep: yet 1t is much better to give
attention to the quality of the ami
mails making the increase than to
the number.
The improved breeds are still de-
veloping live stock enthusiasm in
the south, and the people are sur
prised that they can raise sheep and
swine so well. Early maturity and
fine form will awaken the energies
of any stock raiser. The South is
not yes able to meet the market
created by home demand.
A mixture Of half whisky and hall
water makes a feeble compound,
and we can never make it stronger
bv adding more water. For thu
same reason we can have no hope OF
improving the quality OF our stock
by using grade rams or bulls. When
we get a flock of which we are proud
