FARM HOGS.
How This Glass of Stock May Be Ea.-

lily Improved.
This class Of stock can be improved
more rapidly than any other on the
farm, says ]. w. Jamison of Ohio In
The National Stocklnan. Three steps
are necessary to accomplish this most
rapidly. These are selection, feeding
and purchase. Every farm herd can
be improved in part or in all Of these
ways.
Purchase alone amounts to little
without the others. Nor can selection
and feed do it all. Where the custom
is to feed corn almost exclusively as
the grain ration the hogs are sure in
time to lack in bone. Their bones grad
ually become smaller with each sue
ceedinS generation. Selection cannot
wholly overcome this. Some farmers
try to overcome it by purchase, but
this is not wholly satisfactory and fails
to great extent. We have long since
found that the best way to secure an
abundance of bone is to grow it. There
are good reasons for this-the animals
are more thrifty; again, we cannot get
satisfactory weights without plenty of
bone.
In the matter of selection, the best
should be retained. The best in this
case means those showing the great
est thrift and that have made the most
rapid growth Rapid growth is the
most important characteristic to estab-
lish in herd, and this cannot be done
by selling those growing fastest and
retaining the slow growers.
When the farmer has good stock to
start with, it is only necessary to buy
males to introduce new blood. The
sow can always be selected on the
farm. In fact, this is a better place to
do it than on some other mans farm.
In our own case we would not expect
to purchase class Of sows as salts
factory as what we now have. that we
have worked years to develop.
We are not in favor of the practice
of cleaning up the farm of all home
grown stock every few years and pur-
chasing entirely new. This is not the
most satisfactory way to secure i'm
provement. However, it may be the
best practice for some men that make
a practice Of letting their hog stock
run out" as it is termed. "Run OUT
is the result Of bad feeding, selection
and too close breeding. The running
OUT system Of management is not
profitable. The building up Of herd
should yield an increasing profit. The
cost of males to improve a farm herd
should not deter the farmer from maxi
ing the purchase.

Row Among nIinister..

DEs MONIES, Sept. 19.-There was a
big row at the weekly meeting of the
Ministerial association yesterday over
the speech made before the Iowa liquor
dealers by Francis Murphy, the noted
temperance lecturer. Murphy was
present at the meeting of the ministers
and several of them attacked him for
taking the position he did. They ac-
cused him with temporizing with sin,
with being in league with the devil,
etc, and finally Murphy got mad and
left the meeting. The doors We're

Pope Leo Is Healthy.

Describing the habits of Leo XIII
the Domencia del Corriere of Milan
says that he is so DESTROYS of being
considered still robust that, though he
always makes use of stick while walk
ing, he no sooner observes some strang-
err approaching than he swings his
stick from hand to hand, scarcely using
it, He has excellent sight, can read
without glasses, and is quite delighted
when he has shown that he can sup
port all the fatigue of religious func-
tions. He is rather careless of his
health during his restless nights, and
when seized with poetical inspiration
rises from bed, and without waking his
faithful attendant, Pho Contra, who
sleeps in the ante-room, goes to his
desk and writes down Latin distich
by the light of the night lamp, and will
sometimes linger to compose more.

ply strength, gold exports seemed immf-

ever, soon proved to be of no consequence.
But the bears worked these various infiu-
ences for all they were worth, and succeed
ed in breaking the prices of many stocks

BANKER oLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

New York. June 3.-Liquidation has met
with very little hindrance since our last
weekly advices. -sFarious reasons can be
adduced for the change in sentiment
which has lately come over the street;
not the least among these being the loss
of leadership on the bull side. The public
want forcible and pronounced leader in
whom they have confidence; and hacking
this they become timld and inert in times
of doubt. Bear attacks are thus encour-
aged and values recede with a persistence
that quickly chills public interest. 1t so
happens that at the present time the large
interests in the street seem willing for
slow decline; whether for the purpose of
repurchas.ng stocks at lower figures, or
to prevent the market becoming too one
sided we cannot say. There is unquestion-
ably a much more conservative feeling in
banking circles than existed a month ago;
and bankers, we are glad to say, now
turn their backs upon projects that would
have been gladly considered a month
ago.
The enormous transformation of indus
trial enterprise into big combinations,
amounting to about $1,000, 600 in the
month of May alone staggered responsible
men, and they wisely called a halt In
the future these combinations are likely
to so along ON much more conservative
and safer lines while the seductive
schemes of clever promoters will be scru-
tiuized more severely.
At present the market is undoubtedly
depressed by the large amounts of these
new securities which have been offered
to the public and it is quite likely that
insiders will not be able to unload as sue
cessfully as they once anticipated. A few
