lemon on raw oysters. but there are

Cost of Hogs.

On a farm with reasonably good
buildings and clover pasture the cost
of a gain of pound of live weight Oh
a hog up to 100 pounds is not very
much in excess of cents. To this
must be added the interest on the value
of the brood sow, the cost of her keep,
the risk of accident, the cost of the
grass. of the care and the prices or be-
low
Under these circumstances, says
Wallace's Farmer, the price of hogs
will depend largely on the price OF
corn and the freedom of hogs from the
ravages of disease. When a partial
failure of the corn crop occurs and the
price runs up to from 30 to 40 cents on
the farm. the immediate effect is to
crowd the hog stock of the country on
the market and depress the price.
When a large portion Of the hog stock
is wiped off by cholera. the immediate
effect at the beginning of the disease
is to crowd the hogs on the market and
depress the price. the after effect of
which is to enhance the price by ere
ating a scarcity in the supply.

PIG PORK.
why 1t Is the Best and Also More
ProffnbIe


Almost everybody likes roast pig. 1t
is a much sweeter and tenderer meat
than beef or mutton. and the pig re-
tains this superiority of flavor until it
is 5 or 6 months old and has attained
dressed weight of 120 to 180 pounds.
says The American Cultivator. If it
is an early spring pig, it will keep the
fine flavor of pig pork until corn be-
comes plentiful, and it is fed heavily
in order to fatten it, even though it tip
the scales at more than 250 pounds.
The reason appears to be that during
the early months of its growth the pig
gets much milk fruit and other feed
that is easily digestible and thus keeps
its digestive organs in good working
condition. 1t is often supposed be-
cause hogs are such ravenous feeders
that they have naturally strong diges-
ton. On the contrary. the young pig S
digestion is poor. 1t is by eating plen-
tifully of succulent and easily digested
food while young that the pigs di-
gestive organs are strengthened, so
that when the time for corn feeding
comes, unless the pig is or months
old, 1t has not had time to fit itself for
exclusive corn feeding. This is one
reason why the early spring pigs are
usually 40 to 80 pounds heavier in the
fall than those born the latter part of
April or May.
Fall pigs cannot usually be profta-
oiy wintered They certainly cannot
if no succulent and easily digested food
has been provided for them during the
winter. On corn diet they will be
stunted. and a breeding sow fed who'll
ly on corn will produce litter of pigs
that were runts when born. Even with
the best of care such pigs cannot be
made to pay. But If any have late fall
pigs they may keep them growing dur
ing the winter if they will provide a
diet of wheat middlings with as many
beets as the figs will eat up clean and
very little corn. If other roots than
beets are given, it is better to boil
them and while still hot stir in the
wheat middlings so as to partially cook
It On such feed the pigs will grow
thriftily even in winter. But this
makes more labor than leaving the
pigs to be kept over winter for breed
ers farrowed the previous spring.

"BoBs" AND THE sIRDAR.

So England is sending two Irishmen
to South Africa to save the empire!-Bos-
ton Transcript.
This will be the final test. and by the
results of the campaign under Roberts
and Kitchener the military prestige of
the British empire must fall or be sus-
tanned in the eyes of Europe.-Toledo
Bee.
Will Roberts be able to supplement his
Kandahar work? Will Kitchener add TO
his reputation as the conqueror of the
Sudan? Strange as it may seem. for the
first time in history England halts at pre-
dieting victories for its military idols
Chicago Daily News.
The appointment of Roberts as COM
mander in chief of the British forces in
South Africa and of Kitchener as his
chief of staff shoT-s that the Salisbury
ministry is grasping the Importance Of
bringing the best men in its military
service to the front in this crisis.-St.

Questions
for
Women

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure? ?
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why then do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments. but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and the Women's
Christian Temperance Union.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs Pinkham's advice and medicine.

COSTLY SCRUBS.
No Advantage Whatever Except In
Original Cost.

OEAHs AldA OOSAs
Over in England where every branch
of husbandry has been carried to
high state of perfection and where
fiocks and herds have been kept upon
the same farms for hundreds of years
one may travel for days without COM
ing across scrub animal. Here in
America. the country of grandest pos
sibilities, the scrub is the rule and the
pure bred animal the exception, says
Howard H. Keim in The National
Stockman. Over an area of thousands
of acres of this rich garden land one
may find here and there lone man
and occasionally only a community of
breeders of pure bred or pedigreed
stock. Why this should be is bard
matter to conjecture.
Only few days ago bright young
man came to the writer to sell him his
corn crop, saying: 81 am tired of farm
ing. and | want to sell my corn and
my mule team and go away. am
tired and sick of this way of farm
ing" Then we asked him if he liked
stock, and his answer was that he liked
any kind of nice stock, especially
sheep. but his father. who owned the
farm and for whom he was working it
ION shares" would not invest anything
In stock and would lend no encourage
ment to his son to do so. After a long
time pleading with him TO keep his
corn and team and try to get small
start of fine stock he went away and
the same day left for parts un-
known" driven from home by his fa-
ther, who had notion that the boy
would just as well raise corn to sell
and not be fooling with stock all the
time
We have long maintained that it is
as cheap to keep pure bred stock. espe-
cially sheep. and even cheaper than to
keep scrubs after the initial cost of
starting. The younger members Of
the firm will take great pleasure in the
increase of the focks and will cultivate
such love Spr the old farm that
though sundered far by circumstances
the lingering lights of happy childhood
days among the pretty lambs of the
pure bred f1ocks on the old homestead
win be memory's brightest pictures.
Gloucester County Democrat., 1900-01-25
Plentiful Feed.

Every cattle man who can possibly
do so should feed his stock enough this
winter TO carry them through until
spring in at least as good condition as
they are in now. Too many make the
mistake of putting off feeding too long
and permit their cattle to become weak
and thin before the feeding is com
menced. To accomplish satisfactory
results 1t must be begun early in the
season. After the animals have lost
flesh and become weakened by expo
sure they cannot resist the damaging
influence of the later storms without
further Injury no matter how liberal
the feeding then may be. To keep
them vigorous and in good flesh from
the start should be the rule. Such
method economies feed while produc-
ing the best results. Live Stock.
