SENATOR HOAR ON BLAINE.
Never Believed in Charges Against tho
Distinguished American.

/ was myself a member of the judic-
iary committee OF the house, to whom
the investigation was committed. The
witnesses were examined by sub
committee But they were almost daily
compelled to report the questions
which arose for decision to the full
committee, and the evidence taken by
them was at once printed. l was pres
ent at the examination of most of the
witnesses, so l was very familiar with
the case as it went on. | expected to
be charged with the duty Of preparing
a minority report in case, as was al
most certain to happen, the commit
tee found the charges sustained. l had
no reason, SO far as l then knew, or
now know, to be prejudiced or biased
in the matter. Mr.. Blaine had treated
me with courtesy during my service
in the house, as he did everybody. He
had, as speaker. never assigned to me
any place on committees which was
specially agreeable to me, and had put
persons, whom 1 thought less entitled
to such distinction, into the chairman
ships of committees Of which | was
a member. BUT he undoubtedly was
embarrassed in this matter by the
large number of representatives from
Massachusetts who had been long in
the service. So l had no just cause
either for gratitude or for complaint.
But l had expected, if he were nomi-
mated, although these charges had been
made public, to give him my Jealous
and earnest support as candidate for
the presidency. l had, as l have said,
occasion to possess myself thorough
ly of the evidence against Mr.. Blaine
when it was produced. l reviewed 1t
carefully during the campaign which
preceded the election of 1854. | have
reconsidered it again more lately. 1
did not think at the time, and have
never thought since, that Mr.. Blaine
was guilty either of actual corruption
or of Willingness to be corrupted.
do not think he ever sold his official
influence, or was willing to sell his Of
fetal influence, or ever received or de-
sired to receive any compensation for
any exercise of his official influence
or his official power. l think the
spirit and manner in which the charges
against him were pressed and argued
before the people scarcely, If at all,
less disgraceful than would have been
Mr.. Blaine's own conduct II the
charges had been true.

Are teachers more inclined to be i'm

the Chicago Tribune. This Is the in
ference to be drawn from the condi-
ton of affairs in the Minneapolis pub
lie schools at least. The other day DR..
C. NJ Jordan, the superintendent OF
the Minneapolis schools, called a meet
ing of the teachers and lectured them
severely for losing their tempers with
children. He said: There are sitting
in front of me teachers who lose their
tempers and apply the most abusive
language to their pupils. Such words
as liar wretch lazy little rascal
and other equally opprobrious epithets
have no business to come from our
teachers" Before he concluded his
talk, DR.. Jordan made the following
surprising statement: 81 wish to say
for the comfort of the younger teach
ers that they are not included in my
censure. These complaints are made
exclusively against the older teachers,

OUR FARMERS.
HOGS ON 4 SMALL FARM.

A great many farmers who own
small farms do not raise hogs, giving
for their reasons: eve do not raise
enough corn to feed them" cit is to
! farm rs situated in these circumstan-
ces that wish to direct a few sugges
TONS" says a writer in National Stock
man. "There is scarcely a time in
the year but pigs that will weigh from
forty to sixty pounds will sell at a
| good price to men who make a bust
ness of buying pigs and feeding them.
| This gives the small farmer a chance
to raise the pigs and sell them to the
large farmer and feeder. The first es
sential to success is to have good stock,
and the next is good care and feeding.
Do not try to keep more sows than
can be properly cared for, and aim to
let each SOW raise two filters a year,
one litter in March and then one in
August Or the very first of September.
If it can be SO arranged let the sows
have the range of a clover field. For
feed there is nothing better than corn
and oats, equal parts, ground and
soaked from one feed to the next
When the pigs are about eight weeks
old take the SOW away from them,
and she will be ready to breed again
in few days. The first 100 pounds
of a hog costs the least money, there
fore, unless we have plenty of feed
without buying, there can be more
clear money made by raising larger
number Of pigs and selling them at an
earlier age. 1t is an old saying that
the proof of pudding is in the eating
thereof

PRACTICAL PIG POINTS.

Mature sows and young, strong,
strong. Little corn fed to pregnant
sows and highly heterogeneous food,
as wheat shorts and little corn or
wheat shorts, skim milk and little
corn, will make the filters strong
Exercise for the dams will give life
and vigor to the litter when it is born.
What do we want, large, fat pigs at
birth or strong, vigorous ones? The
latter to be sure. How shall We get
them? Breed for them, feed for them
and care for to produce them. Breed
for them by using dams that have
constitutional vigor, and by using
sires that have muscles rather than
fat, but the feed will destroy it all;
the all corn ration for pregnant sows
is as sensible as all oat straw for the
draft horse at hard work. She re-
quires enough to keep her own ami
NAL life, and as to the rest it should
be almost entirely of a protein food,
oats being good, wheat shorts better,
and skim milk with little corn add
ed is better and cheaper yet. 1t is
safe to say that if wheat shorts, milk
and little linseed meal were fed our
brood sows no complaint would be
heard of sows eating their pigs. These
do not cause a feverishness as does
the injudicious feeding of corn. Some
writer's, says writer in National Stock
man, urge heavy feeding at once, but
our practice has shown it to be wise to
wait until the pigs are from ten to
fourteen days old and then crowd I'M
til they are marketed.

WINTER PREPARATI N.

The summer is over, the harvest is
ended and many are not ready for
winter. 1t seems to be a besetting
sin of farmers as class to undertake
more work than can be successfully
completed within the time available
in ordinary seasons. This state of
affairs is most possible to exist under
a system of extensive farming rather
than where the intensive agriculture
of more populous countries is carried
on. TIE attempt to keep up with the
work under such circumstances is
struggle day after day and the season
! ends before it has been completed.
Mr.. @. L. Gabrilson in Farm, Stock
and Home says:
"Among the duties which call for
performance before winter fairly sets
in, that of not having shelter for stock
ready for occupancy is one which
entailes great loss. And on farms in
the newer parts of the country where
substantial, permanent buildings are
not yet realities this is likely to be the
"Having lived through all changes
incident to pioneer life, the writer of
this can sympathize with the trials and
dis engagements of life on a new
| farm, in new country. And in look
ing backward it is easy to see that if
it we're not for hope Of better days life
would be dreary waste. But as we
look around US, anywhere, there is
ample evidence that pluck, energy
and perseverance will bring reward.
''But it was to suggest getting ready
| for cold weather during the warm
days of October and early Novem
Der which prompted this remark.
One can pillow or husk corn on days
when but little will be accomplished
at spottering around in attempts to
get the homo ready for keeping out
cold and storm. And it is the same
in getting quarters in shipshape for
animals. Everybody knows how easy
it is to imagine that the good weather
will last a while longer, because of
desire to have some big job, like plow-
ing, complete before the final freeze
up. However, this is all wrong-ar
any thinking person will readily ad-
NIT. 1t is better that day Or two's
blowing be left for future doing than
| to have the inmates of the home suffer
avoidable discomfort; Or that live
stock be exposed to inclement weather
unnecessarily. "-Mirror and Farmer
