A great many little pigs are "dehorn-
ed" behind very early in life by being
allowed to sleep in damp, filthy beds
where the litter of which it is composed
is fermenting. says the Western Swine

the tails drop off, several dollars drop
off the price If they are to he sold as

that treatment cannot be good which
causes the skin to girdle and crack I'M
til the tails fall off entirely. When the
pigs come they should be made warm and
comfortable and there should at first be
no unnecessary disturbance Of the young
sters. but by the third day the bedding
should be changed and new, clean, dry
straw given. A hot, steaming bed is
bad for them in many ways, of which the
dropping off of tails is only one symp-
tom.
St Joseph Stock Yards Journal: Predic-
tons are already being made of short
age of stock cattle for 1899 and that mar
ketings of fat cattle will decrease a mill
ion. There is more danger of an over sup
ply of both than a decrease. For the past
few years every farmer or ranchman who
had a female critter bred her; few calves
have been vealed and spayed heifers are
a rarity on the market. There will be
plenty of cattle for 1899 so there is little
need for feeders to become agitated at
this time as to where the supplies will
come from

EDWARD BOX TO LECTURE.
The Popular Young Editor to Come South
to Meet Soutehrn People.

Edward Box, the famous young
editor of The Ladies Home Jour
nal, has finally been persuaded to
appear on the lecture platform,
and he will mako his debut as a
lecturer in the South next October.
lie will lecture in twenty of the
principal cities and in a few of the
neighboring Western States. The
title of his lecture will be "The Kew
to Success"-the most interesting
subject he could have chosen to
talk about. Mr.. Box is, perhaps,
the most successful and popular
young man in America. Women
read him as they do no other
writer, and it may be confidently
said that around the personality
of no other man in America is there
a greater interest and curiosity on
the part of thousands of women
that centres on this successful
editor. The women will not be
disappointed in him, as, IN looks
and manners, Mr.. Box posses all
the qualities whicd they like. He
is as popular personally with won
EN- are his writings. Up to this
time he has declined the most
hattering terms to lecture, but
last week the Southern Lyceum
Bureau, of Louisville, succeeded in
closing contract with the
Philadelphia editor. Mr.. Box has
chosen the Southern field entirely
because lie wishes to acGuaint
himself with the South and its
people, and has stipulated that
his lecturing tour shall be so ar
ranged as to allow him time for
social engagements and observa-
ton. He will not speak more
than three times each week, and
will spend seven weeks in the
South.

KEEP COOL.

We are afraid that the untoward
accident which lost to our navy the
magnificent battle ship, Maine, in
Havana harbor may influence many
hot.headed Americans, especially in
the Congress, to say foolish things
That the accident should have oc.
Cured just when it did is deplorable
indeed. 1t has required all the con-
servation that the country has in
stock to prevent the fool jingoes in
Congress and elsewhere from pre-
cipitating wholly useless and un
called for war with a friendly power.
1t is hoped that those people who
make a business of stirring up the
country will drink nothing but seltz
er water for few days, until they
learn that the deplorable explosion
of the great battle ship could just as
we'll have occurred in Hampton
Roads as at Havana.

ABOUT MRS. DAVIS.

We copy today an article from
the Lynchburg News, explaining
Mrs. Davis's residence in a North
ern city. A Mr.. Wilson who does
the talking is either unfortunate
in his explanation or is designedly
malicious in putting words i'm Mrs.
Davis's mouth which we are quite
sure she did not use with the
meaning conveyed. The whole
truth of the matter is that the
people of the United States have
been so uniformity cOnsiderate
to Mrs. Davis and her daughter
that she has ceased to recognize
any sectional division, and having
literary wares to sell she has gone
to the place, we must acknowledge
as literary headquarters. Mrs.
Davis's residence in the north or
elsewhere needs no explanation,
and certainly none from a north
ern man who speaks from a sec
tiOnal standpoint.
Nothing could better demon
strate the fact of reunion and
restoration than that the widowand
daughter of the Confederacy live
in a northern city, but New York
is become SO cosmopolitan that
only the few who yet remember
our late unpleasantness and seek
to perpetuate its unhappy cOnse.
quences regard it as q northern
city. 1t is simply the literary and
commercial metropolis of a great
country.
