A MIGHTY NEAT TRICK.
One Smart AIeck Who Thought IL
Easy Tried and Made Bad
Mess of IL.

On the California limited the Other
day a man from the east, who thought
he was better than an +. L. V. was
aboard, and everything he did was done
better than anyone else could do it, so
he thought.
While at breakfast in the dining-car
one morning he was seated with three
other gentlemen, with whom he had
become acquainted during the trip,
The four gentlemen ordered, among
other things, soft-boiled eggs.
The gentleman who was superior to
the rest, ordered his to be brought In
without being broken. When they
were brought in he said;
Gentlemen, have in my hand soft
boiled egg" and he held up the egg
where everyone could see it. "You
know it is very delicate matter to
break q soft-boiled egg without soiling
ones hands or the tablecloth."
The rest of the party assented. II
will now show you how easy it is to do
when one knows how" lie glanced
around to see if all were looking. Each
one was paying close attention, so he
continued: "You take the egg like
this" as he struck the shell with his
knife and neatly made small break.
Then you take the egg in both hands
like this, and break it in two like"
He evidently did not mean to do So
but the egg broke suddenly and flew all
over the tablecloth, on the mans
clothes, and he dropped one-half onto
the floor while the other piece went into
his lap.
Just then the waiter, who had not
heard the conversation, came up and
said
That's all right, colonel, it err a
mighty neat trick to break an egg, sar."
The rest of the gentlemen at the table
smiled.-Topeka State Journal.

More than ever before, perhaps, in all

PROFITABLE HOG RAISING.
How to Select Pig mt -Four to Eight
Weeks Old That VIII Develop
Into the Best Hog.

Paper read BY James Riley boiore the Ken
lucky Swine Breeders association, ut Eliza
BEETHOVEN, April H. 1873
The first thing to be examined is the
pedigree, for Notwithstanding the pig
may be an outstanding good one at TINS
age, yet if it does not nave the royal
blood to back it up, there will be no
dependence in its after development.
Like begets like is true law of nature
and it holds good in the animal as
well as in the vegetable kingdom.
Therefore we want to select our pig il
possible from a SOW having long line
of meritorious ancestors, and ii 1t has
in its pedigree two or three
crosses of the blood of such no.
bic hogs as old Bob Lee, bred
by Samuel Pryor, of Paris, Ky, or
Henry Clay, bred by Ii. &. Clay, or Old
Longfcllow or King Lee, or many other
hogs of superior merit, it will be all the
better. Having carefully examined
the pedigree, and found the breeding
of the pig strictly first class, we select
the pig. | would take the score card
and carefully note the essential or ma
ior points, and the non-essential or mi
nor points; the essential points are
those that are given eight or more
points. 70 these | would add the head, as
think the head and jowl indicates feed
ing quality. The most essential point
in my Judgment is the chest, as every
thing depends on the constitutional

vigor of the hog. The chest covers the
vital parts. We want to examine the
pig between the fore legs, and see that
the breast bone comes well forward on
line with the fore legs, and see that
the fore legs are wide apart and the
chest full behind the fore legs The
next in Importance is back and loin.
would want broad back with ribs
well sprung, carrying width of back
from the shoulder to the ham, AID
slightly arched, BE careful to avoid n
sunfish back-remember the most val
liable meat in the hog is the loin, and
the more of it we get the better, The
next of Importance is the ham and
rump. We want the ham wide on
top and broad from flank to rear, and
deep and full. We should remember
that feed very largely makes the shout
der, but the ham must be bred. The
next essential is the feet and legs. The
fore legs should be wide in the arm,
well-tapered and set square under the
pig and wide apart; the foot should be
short in pasture joint, and stand up
well on toes; the hind legs should be
wide IN stiile and straight, the foot
short in pasture joint and set well up
on toes. The next is the head neck
jowl. The head should be short, the
face in Berkshires well dished,
widest between the eyes, jowl
full and neat neck, short and
wide and full on top. The other
points are non-essentials, and if
the pig is extra good in all the points
indicated it will make good hog if it
does lack some in the points not mem
toned. | would want the pig reason
ably well marked, with good coat of
soft hair, as "A coarse-haired pig will
not feed well, but | would especially
warn young breeders against being led
off by the color craze. Some young
breeders are so struck with the
color craze that they can not
see any merit in any pig that does
not have the six whitc points. The
committee of expert Judges that made
the standard and score card thought
the color and tail Of so little import.
ancc that they only gave color two
points and the tail one point.

Cattle Husbandry - Selecting Feeding
Steers.

The essential points in selecting
feeding steers are: First, to secure au-
imals of good feeding quality, and
second, To secure steers which, IN addi-
ton to quality, also have the approved
beef form. The endless variation which
one finds in these two features, between
the Texas ranger and the sharp backed,
slab-sidcd, dairy-brcd steer on the one
hand, and the high grade, pure-bred
model of the beef type, such as may be
found at the stock shows, on the other
hand, only experienced stocklnen and
fseafIESS can he's Dssted t9, put p jast
ticular shade in quality. In most cases,
the man who lacks experience will pay
too high price for his feeders. lie
should bear in mind that under aver
age conditions it costs at least
as much, and generally more, to
lay on hundred pounds gain
than that gain will sell for in
the market The feeders profit, then,
must come from the increased value of
the beef the steer carries when it is
Pun Sido'u anu pun III InS lecu lou
Thus if he can buy steers weighing
l,00J pounds for 3 ! cents pound, put
on 800 pounds of gain and sell those
steers, now weighing 1900 pounds
for ~ cents pound, the feeder will
make money, not because the gain has
cost less than 4 cents a pound, for in
average cases the gain will have cost
him more than that, but because he
has raised the value of the 900 pounds
he started with one cent u pound. In
seasons like the present, when the de-
mand for feeders is large, because of
the low price for corn, and their price
consequently high, it behooves the
feeder to select with care in order to
get animals that will not only thrive
well, but sell well on the market al
ter they are fattened. Prairie Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

To prevent pigs from getting the
thumps compel them to take plenty of
active exercise. The busy pig seldom
gets sick.

With the change in ships, their devel-
opment and undermining, from the pie
turesque type of the famous old wood

of the present day, all other conditions
have changed of necessity. The prep
aration and training for their work Of
the men who sail or command them has
altered, too, with the conditions. The
sailor of to-day has much more to mas
ter in the way of learning and science
than had his sturdy predecessor in the
ships OF half q century ago; the com
plicated machinery of modern war

tricate mechanism, the deadly torpc-

plosives and the handling and use Of
all these, demand Il preparation on the

From the coming tower will come
the order that will fire the first shot or
send forth the first torpedo against the
foe. Then when the mighty storm of
battle breaks with its pent-up thunder
to ring forth across the water, from his
narrow cage, its rim of steel perhaps
ten inches thick surrounding and shell
tcring him, he will order every move
ment governing the fight. The speaking

important position where his men are

pulse or disturb the GOODNESS of judg.
ment of the man in the conning-tower
what will the chances for similar mis-
takes and accidents be when the ship
is the center of titanic conflict, when
her decks are black with SCOT and
smoke, or perhaps shrouded thick with
the escaping steam from her crippled
engines; when they reek wet of blood;
when the great projectiles are crashing
against her side, while the hail from
the gatlngs in the enemy's tops rake
back and forth across her length; when
there is the revibrating thunders Of
steel on steel and the rending and
splntering of plates, and the air is
thick with flying bolts and rivets; or,
perhaps, to add to the deadly peril of II
all, one OF her super-heated guns will
burst to deal forth death and destruc-
ton to the men serving it.
1t will require something more than
the possession OF mere courage, or the
contempt and scorn of death and phys
ical suffering to stand cool and collect
ed in the midst of it all, scanning
through narrow aperture in the steel
wall, the patch of sea and sky, against
which the heart of an angry, seething
cloud oflow-lyng smoke, shot with fire
in its center, the ship of the enemy may
be seen. Nor will there be any partic-
ular safety for those in the brain OF
the ship; that will offer no refuge for
fear. Any moment may bring annihila-
tion to the conning-tower and blot out
in a neeting instant of time the lives
of its occupants. Bullets may stray
death dealing through its port holes, or
she'll blowing into its side may ex-
plode and blow it clear of the deck.
For while it is true that good armor
plate has been invented, it is also equal
ly true that mans inventive skill has
been at work to create projectile that
will pierce the best of armor plate, and
his labor has not been entirely in vain.

mand of the ship. He took his static,
in the tower and when a little late
