graphic Report OF Wisconsin Roundup
Instltute)
A, j. Loveioy OF Illinois spoke on
swine raising. In part he said: II Is
better to raise two crops OF pigs O
year and turn them on young than TO
raise one crop and not turn them off
till they are large. Diseases among
hogs come largely from immature
breeding and from feeding too much
corn,
A good SOW should be good mllker,
The sows and boars should be mated
during November The earlier the
pigs are farrowed the better, II we can
care for them. BY tho time the young
clover is ready we can put them on
II II the pigs have been farrowed early.
Wo feed cooked or scalded feed to all
our fattening animals during winter,
Nothing seems worse to me than TO see
q lot OF pigs In winter kept In cold
quarters and fed on cold, sloppy feed,
Careful attention to details Is neces-
sary. A man, to get the best of re-
suits, must be close observer. Watch
the condition OF the bowels and sec
that tho pigs do not become infested
with vermin. Use germicides and dis
lnfectants In your pens, DO not per-
NIT young and old pigs to run to-
gether. l have twenty pig houses on
twenty acres of land, one pig house to
an acre OF land,
Q-Do you ever have cholera among
your hogs?
Mr., Loyejoy.--I have not had any
for IL years, and then got It at the
st. Louis Fair.
Q.-What do your pig houses cost?
A.-They cost sl4 each. They are
eight feet square.
Q-What do you use for fencingY
A.-Wire fencing, which costs about
81 cents q rod.
Q.-How much more do these small
houses cost than It would cost II you
kept all the hogs In one house?
Al would not have all in one
house.
Q,--What are the more valuable
parts of hog in the market?
A.--Thc hams are the most valuable
and then comes the bacon, | would
say that the ham is worth 25 per cent
more than the side meat.
Q,-How old are your sows when
they breed?
A.-Trom ono year to eight years
OLD. Some Of our farmers breed their
sows before they are six months old,
but that is O mistake.

IL is an encyclopedia OF the literature
OF China, covering q period OF twenty
eight centurles-from 1000 d. c. to 1900
A. d, II owes It's origin to the liter
airy procllvitles Of the Emperor Kang-
he, who reigned from 1862 to 1922. In
the course OF his studies Of the ancient
literature OF his country, Kang-he dis
covered that extensive corruption had
been allowed to creep into modern edl-
tions, and he conceived the idea OF
having the text and the originals re-
produced, and preserved In an authorl-
tative form, This was a mighty con-
ceptlon, and In It's execution II remains
unique down to the present day. For
the purpose Of carrying out the work
Kang-he appointed n commission Of
learned men to select the writings to
be reproduced, and employed the Jesuit
missionaries to cast copper types with
which to execute the printing. The
commission was occupied for forty
years In its great task Before the
work was completed Kang-he died, but
no had provided that his successor
should see the book completed. The
book Is arranged in six divisions, each
dealing with a particular branch Of
knowledge. The divisions are thus
designated; First, writings relating to
the earth; third, writings relating to
mankind; fourth, writings relating to
inanimate nature; fifth, writings re-
lating to philosophy; sixth, writings
relating to political economy, New

an sure very many OF my readers,
writes 70, M. Jessop in the August Pail
Mall Magazine, will be glad TO hear
that, Notwithstanding the enormous
amount Of business with which she
has to deal, the queen Is to large ex-
tent her own housekeeper. The first
thing every morning paper OF sugges-
tions from the clerk OF the kitchen Is,
placed before her, from which In her
own hand she orders the menus Of the
day. both for herself and such OF her
grandchildren as may be with her.
These menus are at once sent 10 the
kitchens, gardens and other depart
ments concerned. to obtain the vlands
required, and their contents duly en-
tered, together with the quantities of
materials used, In the books which are
kept In the royal kitchen. The queens
chef receives a salary of 500 pounds per
annum, and has as satellites four mas
ter cooks, two roasting cooks, six ap-
prentices and six kitchen maids besides
pantry men and other lesser lights. I'M
addition to the great kitchen at Wind
sor there are the greenroom for veget-
ables, and the confectionery and pas
try kitchen. This last is n most impor-
tant department, controlled by a con-
fectloner with six assistants and fitted
up In the most complete manner. All
her majesty's favorite cakes, biscuits,
pastry, ETC., are made here and sent by
special messengers several times q
week to whichever OF her resldenceI
the court may be staying at. AZ
stores at Windsor are under proper SUI
pervislon, no materials being served
out without proper requlsltlon signed
by the head OF the department con-
cerned, Not bag of dog biscuits can
even be ordered for the kennels unless
on the proper printed form. In fact
the whole vast establishment is practl-
cally as methodlcally conducted as any
great London business. This method,
which was evolved by her majesty and
the late prince consort out OF the chaos
which descended from the days OF
George w, entirely does away with
waste, extravaganza and the abomina-
BILE perquisIte system, and moreover II
enables her majesty to exercise that
wise control over her finances which
enables her to keep the grandest cs-
tablishment on relatively the smallest
royal income in Europe.

Prttey Girl Is Rudely Awakened ns Sho
IL About to Take n Plunge.
A handsome young lady from Pitts
burg, who is stopping at hotel on
Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, had an
experience early the other morning
that she is not anxious to repeat,
While in a somnambullstic state, bare
footed and clad only in her nightrobe,
she wandered down to the beach and
would probably have walked into the
ocean had she not been stopped by
Special Policeman Marmaduke Albert
son. There were very few witnesses
Of the feat, and she is so thankful for
It's happy termination that she has
promised Albertson substantial re-
ward, The young ladys name is Miss
Belle English. Officer Albertson de-
scrlbes her as being rather tall, decid-
edly pretty, with dark hair and lus-
trous dark eyes, The affair occurred
just before o'clock in the morning.
Mike Campl, who keeps n fruit stand
at the merry-go-round was standing
outside Of his place Of business when
he was startled by the appearance Of
what he at first thought was a specter
gliding swiftly over the strand toward
the ocean. He called Policeman AL
bertson, who started in pursuit Of the
white-robed figure. When Albertson
came close to the figure he spoke, but
received no reply. He then reached
out his hand, determined to know the
worst, but instead Of clasping empty
air, as he feared he might, he found
his captive to be living, moving flesh
and blood. A few vigorous shakes
awakened the young lady, who gave a
sharp cry Of surprise when she found
herself in the grasp Of strange man.
Then she realized what had happened
and became almost hysterlcal In her
modification. She was reassured,
however, when she found that her cap
tor was an officer. Albertson called
carriage and placed the trembling
girl in 1t, taking tne precaution to
throw blanket around her to protect
her from the chilly night air. At her
request he accompanied her to the
hotel at which she was stopping. The
guests had all retired and with quick
good night to the policeman the
young lady disappeared, entering the
house through an open window. The
appearance Of the house indicated that
the girl had escaped through the same
window, after everybody in the house
had retired for the night,

Brnnenllch Fund.

BrnucnllCh Fund
Mrs. Sophia Brauenlich, who died
recently in New York, left n part OF
her estate as fund by means OF
which infant girls Of New York city
might be provided with homes in the
country. Mrs Brauenlich was firm
believer in the transmission Of the vir-
tues or vices of the parents to their
children and in order to remove the
offspring Of the vicious from contain
mating influences she established this
fund. The first child to receive the
benefits Of this fund was sent to a
home in New Jersey last week. She
and her mother had lived for weeks on
crackers and water and the mother
gladly gave up her child upon assur-
ance that she would be well cared for.
The mother is related to a good family
but her marriage was distasteiul TO her
parents and she was disowned. She
Is now in the last stages Of consump-
tion and will be cared for until the
end comes, which cannot be long de-
layed The Sophia Brauenllch fund
has been increased by other donations
and will soon be Of such dimensions as
to enable the society having its con-
troll to care for nearly a hundred
friendless little ones. For each girl
sent out there is fund put away at
interest until she is 1S years old, 80
that in case anything should happen
to her foster parents she will be pro-
yided for. There now is in Hasbrouck
Heights a homo waiting for little
girl that shall be found by the Sophia
fund to answer all requirements.
Meantime the fund is paying for tie
support Of a beautiful Brooklyn bnby,
who is with It's impoverished mother
until the poor woman can bring her
self to tho point Of giving up Eer
child.

being to market the hens before molt-
Ing begins, but where one Is not
crowded for room and has had success
In getting eggs from old hens during
the winter II would seem equally as
unwise to dispose OF nice year-old hens,
80 few words OF advice during this
critical period may be timely, Crit
ical Is the word used, but II need not
be 30 II the birds are healthy and have
not been fed stimulating feed, but one
must surely give a little extra atten-
tion during featherlng time, A little
oilmeal In their mash or feed OF sun
flower seeds twice a week VIII be found
helpful toward making new growth
OF clothes; also see that they have
plenty of cool water and shade, green
feed, grit and dust bath In cool
place, and II not having the run of n
good grassy pasture, the refuse cab
bage heads would be extra acceptable.
Increase the allowance OF feed, and as
grit Is n necessity at all times It Is OF
great Importance now.
IL tho supply OF insects Is limited,
give meat or bone in some form; you
could not receive greater returns for
money invested. A healthy hen, II
given care somewhat like the above,
Will lay through the molt, and will be
ready for the egg-basket In winter
equal to tho best Of her early hatched
pullets, but II allowed to forage
through the mott, the chances are
against your getting any Of her eggs
until spring, A word OF caution now
do not relax the feed and care as soon
as she Is seemingly clothed for the
drain has left her in slightly weak
ened condition, and she is not clothed
entire when she appears to be, as you
VIII find II you part her feathers, II
Is wise to remove or sell the cocks at
the beginning of the molt. Better sell
them unless an exceptionally nice one.
1t ought to be needless to say that
the hens should be kept free of leo
then, as they should be so at all times.
A little sulphur 10 beneficial, but itB
use is 80 abused | will not advise II.
Don't use 1t externally or internally
during damp weather A rusty nail
or two In their drinking water will do
no harm, but may do good, and n feed
Of onions occasionally will 80 far
toward keeping them in health; also
Stacked lime left where they can have
access to 1t; mix 1t with their char
coal; they will not eat enough to hurt
them.
Milk Is at all times good, but Is
probably never needed more than now.
Don't think this Is too much fusslng
and doctorlng for there is no remedy
or help mentioned but what is in reach
of every farm wife, except the ollmeal
and bonemeal, but II you have sun
flowers the oil meal is not needed, and
bonemeal is in the nature of n food,
The loss OF one or two goods hens
would more than balance against the
bother, to say nothing OF having your
hens in laying condition In time for
high prices, and then there is no sue
cess without labor, the degree OF sue
cess to correspond to the amount Of
labor, Take the best possible care OF
what you have, always aiming to have
1t better.

Applying Poultry Manure.

Do not neglect to make use Of the
poultry droppings, says the Farmer.
There Is no manure on the farm that
equals 1t, and If properly gathered
from droppings boards, 1t will be en-
tirely free from weed seeds, very
important characteristic Of fertilizers.
A great many are afraid to use 1t, fear
ing 1t Is so strong as to burn up the
plants which 1t is intended to benefit.
There Is only one proper method OF ap-
plying poultry manure to the soil be-
fore planting, and that Is broadcastlng
1t upon the soil after plowlng and
thoroughly mixing it with the soil by
narrowing. Applied in this way the
growth of the crops grown on that
piece Of ground will be simply Won
ovrful. 1t should be spread rather
thin, at least wheelbarrowful will
go as far as a wagonload of coarse
stable manure. The thicker 1t is spread
the more thoroughly 1t should be har-
rowed into the soil.
Care Of Breeding Stock.--If we ex-
pect good matches we must have good,
strongly fertilized eggs from vigorous,
healthy stock. To get good hatchable
eggs we feed very little soft food, and
that very light, cut clover hay form
ing the bulk Of 1t, with about four
pounds of ground meat to each 100
hens. At least two.thirds Of the grain
feed is cracked corn, all grains being
scattered in litter during cold weather
and sometimes covered with earth In
the yards with plow or cultlvator when
the weather Is pleasant, thus keeping
them busy as much of the time as pos
sible. Be careful not to overfeed or
give much stimulating food intended
to force the fowls for heavy egg pro-
duction. Any refuse vegetables OBJ
tainable will be help.--Ex.
High Priced Horses.-A report from
New York under date Of April 26, said:
Chicago horses broke all records to-

proud with what was certainly the best
sale Of heavy harness horses ever held
in any public salesroom in the country.
The first forty horses averaged just
an even thousand dollars head, and
the general result was an average Of
1886. There was a large and repre-
sentative attendance of local horse
owners and fanciers, and numerous
others from all the hunt clubs. and
from Boston, Philadelphia, Providence
and Baltimore.

Slaughter OF TubeTculous Cattle In Illinois.
OF late some localities In Illinois
have been stirred up by the slaughter
Of tuberculous cows, and questions
have been asked as to the law that
permits this slaughter We presume
there has been no change in the law
during the last four years. At least
reference to the new laws Of the state
show us nothing on this line, so we
presume the law Is the same as that
appearing in the revised Statutes Of
Illinois for the year 1895. The law
as then published gave powers to the
Live Stock Commissioners Of the state
to slaughter animals wherever 1t was
thought necessary. Previous to slaugh-
ter the commissioners have power to
select three citizens to appraise the
animals at their real value, and this
value can be recovered from the state,
but not to exceed S75 each for cattle
and $100 each for horses. The money
Is secured on the signature by the gov
ernor that the claim is correct. The
state auditor then draws q warrant on
the state treasurer for the amount
Under these restrictions 1t Is not like
ly that the Live Stock Commissioners
will destroy more animals than Is nec-
nssary

American horses as we'll as manu-
factures are making inroads upon the
German markets and are giving the
subjects of Emperor William some
concern. Consul Winter at Anhaberg,
in dealing with the importation of
horses into Germany, sends an article
from the Hamburger Nachrichten,
which says; "Importatlons from Amer
lea have caused the horse raisers Of
Holstein to suffer much Of late. A
stock company has just been formed
in Berlin for the express purpose OF
importing horses from the United
States. The Americans have succeed
ed in breeding horse which COM
pares favorably in every way with the
Holstein animal, especially in those
points so highly priced in work.
namely: broad hips and large
build generally. The best markets for
Holsteln horses has always been the
provinces Of SaXony, Thuringia, and
Brunswick, The demand is created by
the large sugar factories. This mar
ket has been decreasing Of late, owing
to American horses being purchased
in Berlin. A few days ago this Berlin
company shipped a drove Of eighty
through Hamburg en- route for Milan,
Italy, where they are to be used on
the tramways. Almost every week a
long freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for
various parts Of Germany. In spite OF
expensive freight and u tariff Of 81
per head the Americans have built up
n respectable competition in the Ger
man market.

Use q Pure-Bred Sire.-In selecting
flock, would not say to purchase
pure-bred ewes. While purity Of breed
ing is an absolute necessity on the
part OF the sire, 1t is not at all essential
on the part of the dam. Purity Of
breeding on the part Of the sire tends
to render him prepotent, and, because
of this prepotency, 1t gives him the
ability to effect Improvement. The lack
Of purity Of breeding on the part Of
the dam takes away her power to re-
sist change in the direction desired
when mated with pure-bred sire, con-
sequently dams Of very mixed breeding
are excellent material upon which to
commence the work Of up-grading, so
far as blood elements are concerned.
Allow me to emphasize, here, that, un-
der no consideration, use anything but
a pure.bred registered ram, and In
making a selection be sure and get q
