TREATMENT OF PIGS.
A Mixed Dict Usually Produces Satis-
factory Results.

The treatment of pigs intended for
porkers and those intended for bacon
should from the age of IL or IA weeks
| be somewhat different. The former
may be pushed Oh sharply, and fed
at least three times day, says National
Provisioner. but care should be taken
not to give more food at each meal
/ than is thoroughly cleaned up. A good
mixture of two or three sorts Cf ground
corn, either scalded or steamed, with
the addition of some boiled potatoes,
mang!es or swedes, and Il little skim
milk, will make porkers til for he mar
/ ket in four or five months. Pigs iutend-
amount of exercise, and for the first
| four or five months need only be fed
| twice a day, on such food as will pro-
mote growth and produce flesh rather
than fat, but they should never be al
lowed to stop growing nor to lose their
suckers flesh. When put up to feed,
the change to richer food should he
gradual. Opinions vary very much as
to whether it is desirable to give meal
raw or cooked; for my part, ] have
| found the best results from cooked
| food.
| AS regards the diet on which bacon
pigs should be fed. it is impossible to
lay down any hard and fast rules. The
| pig, of all animals. thrives best on n
mixed diet. and every pig feeder must
I; decide for himself what is the mixture
| that he can most economically use,
having regard to the produce of his
| country. There is no doubt barley meal
| s one Of the best all-round foods for
| the production Of good bacon. with the
addition of IL small quantity Of pea or
| bear meal, and fourths flour. Maize
meal is most useful food in smal!
quantities. but it should always be
! St.aIGcd or boiled. and never be used eN-
c!usvely. or as the principal ingredi-
ent in food where high class, strraky
bacon is desired, as its tendency is to
produce fat 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance that pigs should be fed at regu-
| lar intervals. When this is not attend
| ed to they become restless and do not
thrive as they ought to. The food
should he varied from time to time
as nothing promotes good appetite
like change of food.

THE KLONDIkE GOLD.
Scientific Accounting for the Low
ness of Its Standard.


An interesting point in connection
with the question of age is that the
ground remains perennia,ly frozen,
only the surface being thawed in sum-
mer to the depth OF two or three feet.
1t would appear therefore that, like
the placers of Siberia, these deposits
have remained unoisturbed and ula!-
tered ever since the glacial period, and
perhaps some such evidence of this
will in course Of time be discovered, as
was afforded by the remains of NAM
moths ard other animals in the ST.
berian frozen mud.
1t is, worthy of note that the COM
parative lowness of standard of the cold
is, under the existing conditions. III
favor of the view that the Placer gold
is derived from the erosion OF aurifer-
Gus quartz lodes formerly existing at IL
higher level, ard has not been formed
in stu by being deposited from solu-
ton. For, according to those who sup
port the former view, placer gold be-
comes of higher standard than reef
gold after it has found its way into the
drifts, the base metals being gradually
removed by the solvent action OF rur
ming water, in which gold is not read
iy soluble. Since, however, the Klon-
dixie gold has been frozen up during a
Large part of the time since it was de-
posted in the gravel, it is obvious that
1T cannot have altered in composition
so much as the gold in river sands
further south, and might be expected
to resemble the gold in the parent
lodes, which is not usually more than
500 fine. The low standard of the gold
is not so readily accounted for by the
accretion theory Of formation Of
placer gold.-Nature.

COST OF sABLEs.
How the Price Advances After the
Skin Leaves Siberia.

] 1t is to be wondered whether the
elegant lady wrapped so snugly in her
winter furs gives thought, even 4
passinp one, to the subject as to where
the magnificent sable skin which She
wears around her neck originally came
from.
Up in the great watershed dividing
Siberia and Mongolia lives peculiar
race of people, half Chinese, half Thi-
betans. Few Europeans have ever seen
\ them; in fact, with the exception OF
one or two enterprising explorers Or
geographical enthusiasts who have
crossed the Altai range, European eyes
have never gazed upon the aboriginal
Syots of northern Mongolia.
Sable hunting in the Siberian noun
tains of northern Mongolia is con-
fined almost exclusively to the Syots
and other native races, and it would
surprise a good many fur dealers in
England to know the prices which are
paid by the Siberian traders to these
poor aborigines for the skins they co..
lect.
The Siberian trader, knowing his
market, makes periodical journeys into
Mongolia. 1t is safe to say he does not
take a kopek Of money with him, but
he drags behind him well-stuffed
caravan loaded with tea, tobacco, gun
powder and shot, strings of beads fer
the women and roughly made mocca-
sins for the men. In due course he will
come across a Syot ercampment.
The trader sits on his wagon and
barters cheerfully. With the eye of a
connoisseur and with fingers rendered
deft by long practice, he sees and feels
the smooth, warm skin of the little an
imal.
The small! black one-well, two
ounce packet of tobacco is enough for
that. That large black ore-a handiii,,
of shot AID an equal quantity CT gun
powder. A packet of tea for a lovely
skin with a long black stripe down the
center. This one, a fine skin, but Il
J little bit hurt by the shot entering the
blackwell, only a string of beans for
| that.
In their original undressed state it is
safe to say that the skins do not cost
the Siberian trader more than a few
pence each on the average. AS the poor
sable travels further westward, how
ever, he gets dearer and dearer. II
Tomsll one can get very good sab,es
for something like five or six rubles--
about 13 shillings. In Omslk few are
sold under ten. rub,es-e1 1 shilling.
| In Moscow 100 per cent. goes on. In
st. Petersburg no one except the mid
die class or a functionary would wear
a sable under IS. In Paris and Lon
| don a real Siberian sable skin will fetch
anything up to e2o, but the imitation
sab,es of the present day have done
much to depreciate this wonderful
trade.-London Mail.

why DaIed Hay IL Musty.

Much of the baled hay that comes
to market is musty. Most farmers
when they bale hay think it need rot
be very dry, as the bales are small. But
the amount of hay packed in them is
always sufficient to get up violent
ferment unless the hay is properly
dried before it is put into the bale. II
there were more care used in baling
hay the price for it would be much
better than it Is, as the hay itself

Washington. Dec. 1G.-The police have
under arrest Joseph w. Pearson, printer
% years of age, who last night made
violent attack on the British embassy with
bricks which he flung into the drawing
room in which members of the family of
Sir Julian Pauncefote were seated
Miss Pauncefote was struck by brick,

spent. and she escaped with slightly in
iured ankle, Several windows were
smashed, and the magnificent cut glass
of the main entrance doors was broken
and ruined The total damage done, II -

A telephone call was made for police as
soon as the first missiles were thrown, and
the servants rushed out and were engaged
in a fight with Pearson when the police ar
rived and arrested him. He was taken to
the police station, where his mother called
later and said she had noticed her son
had been acting strangely ever since he
graduated last June from studies he had
been pursuing diligently for two years
past. His offense may be a very serious
one, should he be adjudged sane as spe-

Col. Lester and the others of the delega-
ton would have been delighted to accept
the cordial invitation extended to them by

unfortunately, they are detained here by
their duties in the House.
All of the members of the delegation
refer in the most gracious terms to the
courtesy shown them by the citizens OF
Savannah which is in striking contrast
with the apparent neglect or indifference
of the managers of the Atlanta ce.ebra-
ton
1t is hardly probable that any of the
members of the delegation would have
been able 90 leave Washington and go to
Atlanta while the President was a guest
of that city, but it would have been
nothing more than good taste to have for
mally invited the Georgia senator's and
representatives 90 join in the reception to
the President and the members of his
party. AZ the eleventh hour a telegram
was received from Atlanta indicating in a
half-hearted way that the members of the
delegation would be welcome, II they de-
sired 90 TO pay their footing in the en-

That is the nature OF the invitation
which several members of the delegation
say they received to participate in the
