SECRET OF SUCCESS.
1t Consists of Having Good Breeding
Go Hand in Hand with Equally
Good Feeding.

There could not be greater error than
TO suppose that all that is necessary for
the young breeder 10 be successful is
10 buy the blood and the balance would
take care of itself. We might just as
wei expect a good crop of corn if we
plant an excellent variety in a well-pre-
pared, rich soil and then not give 1t
any further attention, as TO suppose
that our pigs viii develop into fine hogs,
no matter how well bred, without the
proper food and attention In fact, the
work of making the fine hog is only be-
gun at weaving time, SO says James
Riley in American Swineherd. It is
very important to have the pig well
bred, as that is the foundation, and, like
building a house, il is important 10
have good foundation. Then by using
good material and skill in architecture
we build a good, substantial house; so
with the pig. We want ii well bred as
foundation, then by the proper meth
cd of feeding we develop ii into fine
hog. No young breeder viii ever sue
coed in the business unless he makes
study of the proper method of feeding
pigs, as feed is the principal factor II
the Improvement of swine. 1t is well
known that by grading seed wheat and
seed corn and planting the largest and
best developed grains the grain will be
improved from year 10 year; so with
the pig. By feeding the pig a well-bal-
anced ration, ration that viii build up
all the different parts Of the hog, espe-
cially the valuable parts-the loin and
ham, the muscular or lean. The pigs
thus fed till they arrive AT the proper
age to breed will transmit their good
qualities TO their offspring, and, like the
large grains of corn OF wheat, the i'm
provement will go on from genera ton
TO generation. Pigs should be fed va
riety Of feeds. The best feed for young
pigs is shorts mixed with SKINNED
milk, fed sweet, or ground wheat, or
ground oats with the bulls sieyed out
Dat hulls are not good for pigs, but
there is nothing better than ground
oats with the hulls extracted, mixed
with sweet milk This with little
corn will make a good balanced "a
ton; feed them regular and enough
TO keep them rapidly growing. The pig
should never stop growing. Our best
improved pigs should gain at least one
pound per day, or il would not injure
them 10 make them gain ~ pounds per
day if fed a muscle and bone-produ
food.

the only way 10 improve your herd and

FACTS ABOUT FLOURINE.
II Contains Very Little Protein and Is
Deficient in BOne-FOrminE
Constituents.

Prof. Snyder, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, has recently made q
chemical analysis of hourine, the by
product of the glucose mills that is now
being used as an adulterant of wheat
-four. His report, which appears in the
Northwestern Miller. is not in accord
with the claims which have been made
for this product, especially in the i'm
portant feature of nutritive value An
alysis shows the hourine contains SO lit
tie protein that a man would have TO eat
$50 pounds Of il in order to get enough
protein 10 enable him TO do DAYS work.
II is deficient in bone-forminG constitu-
ents and fat as well, and IN fact contains
little of food value except starch But
still worse, it contains sulphate Of soda
and sulphuric acid enough to make it
injurious TO health. Is il any wonder that
European consumers of American -four
are regarding il with suspicion when
there is possibility of il containing such
a worthless-and worse than worthless
substance? Is il strange that Eu-
ropean governments, which represent
people who dare not waste a penny even
for bread, are on the alert TO protect
their people against such an imposition
as -four adulterated with fiourine?
Some means should be found of prevent
ing the expectation of adulterate6 -four
TO foreign markets, and also of prevent
ing its sale to our own people as pure
wheat four-National Stockman.

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.

Keep Up the Beef Quality

Our Canadian correspondent places a

STREET CAR ROBBER.
Deliberately Unlocked Fare Box and
Emptied 1t.

The officers of the Birmingham Railway
reported robbery of an Elyton line car at
Twenty-fourth street and Sixth avenue on
Friday morning, which came to light yes
terday.
Miss Eugenia Self, music teacher, who
boards with the family of Chief Thad Null
len, of the fire department got on the car
at the above corner and handed her fare to
white man who walked to the front of
the car and deposited the fare in the box
According to the young ladys statement
he then drew a bunch of keys from his
pocket, unlocked the cash box and emptied
its contents into his pocket Fearing that
the man would next rob the passengers.
Miss Self rang the bell and alighted from
the car as it stopped at the next corner
The car was in charge of Motorman W. B.
Pool, and besides the alleged robber and
Miss Self, two negro women were passen-
gers. Miss Self reported the matter to Mr..
Mullen who communicated it to Superin-
tendent McClary, of the Birmingham Rail-
way and Electric company. When the
matter was brought to the attention of Mo-
torman Pool he was greatly surprised. He
stated that he could scarcely believe it
possible that a robbery could have occurred
without his knowledge.
Superintendent McClary is nonplussed,
as the cash boxes are double locked and
are all different and the keys to them are
carried by the inspectors, who empty them
at regular periods at the corner of Second
avenue and Twentieth street.
The change in the box checked up a few
dollars short, and the bold robber evidently
got 81 or IS.

at 1913 pounds. Matthews landed at random,
but Kerwin appeared to be able to stand
all the punching. The eighth round was the
fastest fighting ever seen in Canada. Ker-
win started in to rush, but Matthews
stopped his rushes with upper cuts and
hard jabs, and had Kerwin in difficulties to-
ward the end of the round. Despite the fact
that Kerwin was getting the worst of the
go all the way through, Kerwin did the
rushing. Matthews clever ducking and get
ting away was applauded. In the fifteenth
round Matthews landed a couple of right
swings on Kerwin's face, but the Chicago
man always came back. In the ninth round
Kerwin's nose bled and Matthews eye was
cut open in the nineteenth. Kerwin had tho
better of the last round. Matthews received
