BREEDING PLACE OF STORMS

What Is Known as the Gulf of MaiAe

The CUT of Maine is a geographical

during normal conditions of sea and air
a current sets perpetually from the far

winds prevail, terrific sea is hurled

Men Who Wear Bracelets.

Braeelet-wearing men are said to be
on the increase. The Prince Of Wales
wears a gold bracelet at times on his
left wrist-a bangle, by the way, which
belonged to Macmillan, the Inflated
emperor of Mexico. The prince
brother, the Duke of SaXe-Coburg, also
wears a bracelet on his left wrist and
chain around his neck. The late
Duke of Albany, although never con-
sidered of a approximations disposition,
always believed certain amount of
good luck attached to the bangle which
he wore. The late Archduke Rudolph
wore a massive bracelet and chain, and
King Hubert also displays a bracelet

it could be prevented from running to
too much fat Mr.. Woodward replied
that wheat middlings, fine bran. linseed
meal, rape and skim milk all have a
tendency to make the meat lean and
juicy.
William II. White, of Judd's Corners,
asked what the object was of having
hogs with lean meat. The speaker ans
wered that in New York state the lean
pork commanded from one half to one
cent more per pound.
John Goodwin, of Owosso, thought
that mangels were fattening but it
transpired that he also fed corn at the
same time so this probabl, accounted
for the condition in Mr.. Woodward g
opinion.
E. j. Cook, OF Maple River, wanted to
know why coarse bran injured young
pigs, and this was explained.
Floyd Owen, of Venice township, asked
for the New York mans favorite breed
of hogs, but the latter said he preferred
good cross-breed. He used Berkshiru
male hogs, but any good breed of SOW.
A B. Cook also asked a question in
rega'd to cross breeds, and e. Eighme
continued the discussion along the line
Mr.. Woodward had marked out. He
thought hog pens roo cold in most
cases. He did not believe in too much
cross breeding.
A. III. Owen, of Vernon, said that Sha-
wassee people couldn't get bran at $40
per ton, as in New York, but that it cost
$14. Mr.. Woodward said, "Send direct
to Minneapolis, then, and your dealers
will soon come down."
A. ii. Warren, of Ovid, told how he
kept hogs, feeding them warm food, and
Frank Lang, of Vernon, wanted to
know if warm food was best. Mr.. War
rem thoughtit was.
Chas. Whelan, of Vernon, wanted to
know if ground oats was good feed for
hogs, land Mr.. Woodward said it was,
but too costly.
