Exclusive Hog Growing,

The rapidly with which herd of hogs
will increase has bet n manly responsible
that growing hogs as a business ought to
be exc, edingly profitable. SO it is if care
is taken to keep no animals more than a
year old unless they are kept for breeders,
and to keep all free from disease. II
large numbers of hog, are kept in herd,
and fed mainly on corn or other heating
food, disease is almost sure to occur. II
it were not for this the cheap corn of the
West would long ago have brought pork
prices so low that Eastern farmers could
not produce it for sale. AS matter of
fact the great majority of farmers grow
only enough hogs to provide pork for
their own use. Keeping so few most OF
the food consumed is refuse that would
otherwise be wasted To increase the
profit. Yet there is good deal more
refuse food at some times OF year than at
others. and more than hogs sufficient for
the home pork supply can consume.
Wherever farmer finds that he is getting
over stocked with pigs he can keep them
growing, and keep healthy too, by plant
ing each year a quarter of an acre in beets,
to be used the following winter when sue
culent food is scarce. With such patch
growing every year it will be easy to
secure the largest results from all the
grain fed to fatting hogs The beets also
increase the milk flow in breeding sows,
and even the small pigs will begin to eat
them after they are seven or eight weeks
old.

The authorities of the Houston and
Texas Central railroad are considering
how best to show their appreciation Of
tho ooolness shown by Miss Mae Mosse
in a recent wreck on their line at Cham
hers creek. A trestle gave way at that
point aud a portion of the train plunged
into the water. Superintendent Daffan
of the road was in the car with Miss
Mosse and both were precipitated into
the abyss Mr.. Datfan was at once pin
ned down to the floor by broken seat.
Water was pouring into the car, and
the superintendent would certainly have
been drowned but for assistance given
him by Miss Mosse. The girl was the
only passenger who kept cool head.
Exerting all her strength, standing
meanwhile waist deep in water, she
managed to release Daffan to such an
extent that he was able to sit upright.
Even then the water was up to his chin,
but rose no farther, and so he escaped
with life. though badly injured. Miss
Mosse seeing him in comparative safe
ty, went to the assistance of others,
and rendered invaluable aid to a num-

Kale or German Greens.

We have had a number of messes Of
kale green's, the young sprouts (this
years growth) cut off the plants OF
kale or German greens that We're raised
from seed last summer and wintered
over in the field. The plants are quite
hardy, and usually come through the
winter all right Just as soon as the
ground-thaws out in spring new growth
begins, and these sprouts are very ten
der and fine.
We SOW seed in July right where We
want the plant to grow and remain dur
ing the winter. exactly in the same way
as we raise most of our late cabbage
making the rows three feet apart, but
leaving the plants little closer in the
rows than late cabbages are usually
planted. When the plants have some
size, leave but one in place and cult
vate same as cabbage. II. Greiner il

VEGETABLE GARDENING.
rvAining Plants, Replanting. Checking
and Destroying Insects.


1t is very important that training be
begun at an early stage with such sub
jects as require it. Tomatoes probably
require more attention in this respect
than any general vegetable grown. The
stems not being of sufficient strength to
support themselves long, they are easily
thrown down by wind or rain and once
on their side the points will turn in an
upward direction in few hours time,
thus causing bend which renders them
awkward to tie up and gives them
neglected appearance which it takes
them some time to outgrow.
All side shoots not required should
be pinched off at an early stage. 1t is
poor policy to allow them to gain
strength and then have to apply the
knife to cut off large shoots, which must
have robbed the plants of much useful
vitality, which might, with little
care, have been concentrated ard put to
better use. We also too often see toma-
toes allowed to run in haphazard
manner over the trellises, a few shoots
being tied in here and there and others
But system always pays and in these
it will result not only in larger and
much better fruit, but will also consid-
erably increase the yield. Our system is
to take up three shoots from the bottom
Of each plant, tying them up one foot
apart (the plants are set three feet apart
and keeping all side shoots pinched off
as they appear.
Lima beans, though taking care Of
themselves once they get hold on the
poles, should have a little assistance at
first, one or two ties being all that is
required. Too many plants should not
be left around each pole, as they only
crowd one another and result in a great
many poorly filled pods. Three plants
to a pole is as q general rule quite suffi-
oient but it is we'll to make sure that
they are pretty well established before
thinning out to that number.
AS early crops, such as peas, spinach,
lettuce, etc, are cleared off the ground
should be titled up and again utilized
with paintings Of bush beans celery,
beets, lettuce or whatever is most
wanted.
American Gardening is the source Of
the foregoing directions. and it also adj
vises to keep an outlook for bugs of all
kinds and destroy them as quickly as
possible. Paris green is the most effec-
tual remedy where it can be used with
safety The asparagus beetle can quick
ly be destroyed with this, but it must
never be applied until after cutting is
discontinued. The striped and spotted.
beetles which attack melons and cucum-
bers may be kept in check by the lib
eral application of tobacco powder,
which should be well applied under the
plants, as it is on the underside of the
leaf that the pests usually harbor.

Cleanliness in Milking.

This is the time Of year when bad odors
are most likely to get into milk, and this
is one reason why so many find it difficult
to make good butter in winter. On no
account should the COW be MIXED in the
stable where she has laid through the
night. When cows are awakened for
feeding in the morning most of them will
void both their solid and liquid excrement
which had accumulated from last nights
food After this is done lead or drive
the cow into we'll ventilated room used
for milking, and the cow should be given
the most appetizing part of its rations
here. Sometimes the COW will fail to
urin tie before leaving the stable, and the
sound of milk streaming into the pail may
cause her to attmpt TO urinate as soon as
milking begins. This is very annoying
habit, and we used partially to cure it
when we MIXED half dozen cows every
morning. So soon as they are aroused
we poured water slowly into an old tin
pail kept for that use. This excited the
cows imaginatons, each thinking that
urine was flowing into the pail. We
often had each of these cows uirnate with
in five minutes after this was done II
the COW begins to urinate in the milking
room, stop the milking until urination is
completed, and then cover the place
where the urine fell with something that
will absorb the odors. German potash
salts are the best for this use that we
know Of This makes some trouble. but
it is we'll repaid in the better quality Of

keep winter butter longer time without
spelling.

Shakespeare's Great Words
to Men.

Probably no words of Shakespeare
have go impressed weak men as those
wellknown lines: "Cans't thou not
minister to mind diseased, raze out the
troubles of the brain, and with some
sweet antidote, cleanse from that which
so weighs upon the hearl?' This thrill
ing yet plaintive cry finds an echo in he
heart of every weak, enervated, nerve
exhausted and vigoiless man, who,
through ignorance of consequences, has
brought himself TO condition of
nervous and physical debility. Modern
medical science has indie d provided the
"antidote,' and the discoveries of u
great ply sican have placed within reach
of every weak and erring man the
wonderful strengthening, vitalizing
and nvigoratiDg remedies which will re-
store him again to strong, vigorous and
powerful manhood. We refer to the
marvellous medicines of DIR. Greene of "a
II mple Place, Boston, Mass, one of
whose discoveries, known a. DIR. Grepne's
Nervura, has made his name famous
throughout the world, and whose dis
coveres of wonderful restorative medi.
cines for weakened and nerve-e Exhausted
men give hope Of perfect and complete
manhood to every suffering man. DR..
Greene can be consulted free of charge,
personally or by letter, and you can use
those grand remedies and be cured at
home, without the loss of time and eX-
pense Of trip to the city. By ali means
write To DR.. Greene and get his advice
and counsel about your case. 1t will
cost you nothing and may result in max
ing new man of you.

Anumber of property owning women
in New York have organized defensive
society called the Ladies' Legal associa-
tion. Many women, ignorant of legal
bubbles and the wide avenue for fraud
which law opens, have been swindled
by unprincipled lawyers, agents and
business men. BY forming an organiza-
ton and retaining responsible counsel,
they can obtain trustworthy legal ad-
vice at all times in the ordinary dis
charge of their business. This concerted
effort gives them legal protection which
would otherwise be beyond their means.

A certain young lady against whom
appearances certainly looked dark once
had an amusing experience of unjust
Judgment She went out on a stormy
day and was unfortunate enough to
have her umbrella turned inside out
Her two sisters were equally unluoky,
and on the following day the young
lady volunteered to take the three UNI
tellas to be repaired
Promising to call for them before she
returned home in the afternoon, she
went about her business, part of which
was to do some shopping In large city
establishment. On rising to leave the
shop she mechanically put out her hand
to take possession Of an umbrella that
was close by. 1t looked like her own,
and for the moment she had forgotten
the accident She was soon brought to
her senses.
THAT Is my umbrella, said sharp
voice at her side, and hand was laid
on her arm to detain her.
Apologizing for her thoughtlessness,
she left the shop, did the rest of her
business and called for her umbrellas,
In the street car she met an indignant
pair of eyes. Where had she seen them
before, They scanned first her face and
then the burden she carried. Three of
them |" muttered the owner of the eyes,
and 1t was evident that she referred to
the umbrellas. "Threel She's din NO

AS she spoke she grasped her own
umbrella tightly and moved farther
away from the dangerous young lady,
The color came into the cheeks of the
latter. The speaker WAS her friend Of

that the umbrellas had been stolen

If your horse does not masticate his
grain it is sign that either he bolts his
food or is given drinking water immedi-
a,ely after eating. The remedy lies in
watering before eating, or not until two
hours after, or in so feeding the grain that
it cannot be picked up too rapidly. Iron
grain boxes with cups to hold pint will
remedy the difficulty, or good sized stones
in the box will necessitate the picking up
OF the grain slowly. Some mix small
amount OF whole corn in oats. as this
insures more complete mastcation.

Probably the latest lambs sent to mar
ket are those obtained from cross OF
Merino and Southdown. They are about
as plump and heavy for their size as any
bred. although they are not the largest,
writes E. p. Smith in the American Guilt
vator. They are generally desired by
good butchers, and very often they will
command fancy prices. Their black faces
and legs, and most butchers believe yet,
and with good reason, that the South
down is the finest mutton sheep in the
world, Do the growers of Maine find the
same experience?
