Tho feed and treatment Of sovs,
writes A. N. Springer In Land and 4
Living, have much to do with the ex-
tent Of their profitable period. At NO
time should they have an all corn "a
ton, but 1t should be supplemented
by milk. bran. slop. grass. etc. Corn
is the worst feed to give a sow-that
is, for main article Of food-but often
it is the only thing they get. A SOW
fed through the winter ON corn alone.
or with mayhap a bucket Of slop occa-
sionally, is not in fit condition for TAR
rowing healthily. Her system Is apt
to be feverish and the unnatural crav-
ing will very likely lead to her de-
vouring her pigs. The pigs. too. are
very apt to be a sorry looking lot, and
il they live will never give the owner
much pleasure, pride or pront- Inc
remedy is to feed plenty of heterogeneous
foods. A rye patch makes excellent
green pasture for hogs in winter.
Lacking this and other grass or root
crops, then feed plenty OF bran and
shorts in slop. A liberal variety Is the
key to success.
Shotes, too, up to within a month or
two of selling time should have gooo
variety of feed. The last two months
the corn should predominant. But II
will always pay to give little variety
by way Of condiment. The best time
to sell hogs is when they are fat, re-
CARELESS of prices. Some are even now
selling half fatted stuff. ASK them why
and they say: 1.-The corn is worth more
than the hogs" To sell a half-fatted
hog Is not business unless there Is a
weightier reason than that of pricc to
be considered. Good shelter for all
hogs at this time of year is an impera-
tive necessity. A bunch Of hogs sleep
ing in the farm corner and squealins
as only a cold pig can squeal does not
make pleasant music to one VINO likes
to feel that his stock is warm ana wen
fed. Especially are dry, warm quarters
desirable for q sow and pigs. A colo
pig is a dissatisfied pig, and dissatis-
fed pig will not eat as it should.
A thoroughbred or good grade OF
hogs should always be kept. The thor
oughbreds are the most profit hle, and
they are SO low that it looks like q
piece of foolishness to do without
them. If you are skeptical. get a
thoroughbred male and cross on your
"elm peelers" and see II you do not
have the best bunch of pigs you ever
owned. A little better than scrub care
must be awarded them. Our motto
should be 1.-The best" for indeed the
best is none too good for one VINO
lives up to his privileges as swine
breeder. Mind. say Lives up to his
privileges" for it is a privilege to
raise hogs as fine as the finest and as
good as the best! There are four
great breeds of swine. with some otn-
ers of lesser fame, but perhaps just as
good in their sphere. The Poland
Chinas by mere force of numbers. II
for no other reason, come first, with
perhaps the Berkshires holding second
place. The third in the list of honor Is
the far-famed Chester White. And
last. but not least lat least in size). are
the Duroc- Jerseys. With such list OF
notables to choose from, why breed
scrubs?

Mr.. Hartwell.-Prof. Luger spoke
last week on this topic Of insects In
furious to fruit and the general enc
mics of the fruit grower, and he said
that one important feature IS frequent
~ overlooked. We are liable to de-
stroy a great many Of the best friends
we have in the world in this spray
ing process. For instance, the green
worm that appears Oh the currant'
deposits with the wasp. The motn de-
posts the eggs along the veins OF the
leaf, and those hatch into the worms.
Sometimes the eggs will turn blush
color, usually before they are ripe to
hatch. and you will find on the inside
of them, a little wasp. the deadly enc
nv of the worm, and i: you spray for
the worm, you spray for the wasp and
DESTROY your best friend.
Mr.. Bryant.-Would you advise let
ting your gooseberries 60 and trust to
the wasp?
Mr.. Hartwell.-He gave that as an
illustration of what IS true otherwise.

Runners of rawberries.-Whethe
early or late runners on strawberry
plants are to be used for the succeed
ing crop is a question worthy Of con-
sideration. E. A. Riehl says that the
early runners should be allowed to
grow, and then there will be few II
any late ones to cut on. Some vari-
cites of strawberries have the habit Of
bearing the next years crop only on
the early runners, and II these early
runners are not allowed to grow there
will in such cases be a total failure
of the second year. There are other
varieties that will bear fruit no mat
ter how late runners are used.
Good Soils.-According to Professor
Ansted. a good soil should be COM
posed of nearly equal parts of the three
earths. sand. clay and lime: it should
contain a certain quantity Of decom-
posing vegetable and animal matter:
it should take up moisture and give 1t
back to the air without much difficulty:
It should have depth sufficient to per-
NIT the roots of the plant to sink and
extend without coming to rock, to wa
ter or to some injurious earth; the sub
soil should be moderately porous, but
not too much so; and In case Of need
the subsoil should be able to improve
the soil by admixture with it.

grape vines are tied up. In April, the
better, as they then become Injured to

A Merchants Idea,

Some practical views on the subject
OF public roads are entertained
by leading business man OF the
city. Ho would suggest, that
the business men, who are deeply in
terested in the maintinance of good
thoroughfares, among themselves con.
tribute to a common fund. From
this fund u premium would be awarded
to the overseer, whose beat or precinct
will show the best piece OF highway.
This proposal would stimulate the
road overseer TO greater ambition and
encourage him to more energetic
exertion. He also says. that good
roads are essential to business, aud
every dollar given, will return 10 pro-
fit and practical result ten times the

The increase in the tonnage of the
Illinois Central railway and Of nearly
all common carriers since the Spanish
war, has been OF untold advantage tc
the thousands Of idle men, who found
employment and relief in different
branches Of railway transportation.
This sudden increase in traffic and
values, can be attributed mainly to the
opening Of new markets, in the prov
inces wrested from Spain. Commerce
is sympathetic and the activity in

Small Things Pay.

Farmers generally realize that the
raising OF cotton is almost a waste @

OF poultry. eggs, butter and vegetables

mirahly adapted, they would find q

These are products, that ar. always in
demand in the large centres. They
find ready sale at remuuerativc prices,
even in the home market and besides
supply the farmers tables with what
may be called essentials of good living.
| The surplus, thu IS. what is not held
for home consumption is the same as
pin money. In business, it is proven
that it is the small things that pay,
and unluckily, these very same small
things are too ot'en ctutemEed by our
toiling delivers Of the soil. Yet, the
raising of cotton cannot be entirely
bandonel, for it is the only cash arti-
Gle, upon which the merchants who
supply the farm with the requirements
Of the household. can depend for adj
jusling accounts with their creditors.
II cotton must he grown, at least let the
acreage be restricted, and attention

BURGLARY AT ANNkW0MSCUTT.
Summer Res 'dence OF Mr. Y. S. frowa Entered
and Considerable Valuable Property Carried Away.

The residence of Mr.. II. s. Brown at
Annawomscutt was entered by burglars
at an early hour this morning. Mr.
Watrous who is employed on the oys-
ter beds at Nayatt, was passing the
Brown cottage about 4 o'clock this
morning and noticed that two of the
front windows had been broken. He
soon found that the work was that Of
burglars. for the contents of the cot
tage were strewn all over the different
rooms. Most of the very valuable
property, silVerware. etc, had been re-
moved To Providence some time ago,
but the burglars evidently took quite
a lot of valuable goods away Mr.
Watrous at once started TO give an
alarm, and he was only a short dis
tance from the scene OF the affair when
he saw two suspicious looking men
walking on the railroad toward River
side Mr.. Watrous tried To oVertake
them, but upon his approach they ran
away. and he could not overtake them.
Mrs. Brown and other members of her
family were at once notified. but they
have not been able to estimate their
loss.
It is apparent that the burglars have
been living for some time i'm the Brown
cottage.
Mrs. Browns cottage is one OF
number az Annawomscutt occupied by
summer residents. and special precau-
tion has been made against depreda-
tions Of boys or burglars. Mr.. Watrous
