The Hog.


The hog of today constitutes no less
than $40 different articles OF COM
merce, and next to cotton and wheat
furnishes the largest values In ex-
ports from the United States. Its
name has become an epithet, says a
foreign writer on swine. Its applica-
ton to man means greed and british
ness. 1t Is commonly supposed to be
a scavenger, like the puddle duck. 1t
takes mud baths. So do men. There
is much virtue in mud. The hog
battles in pools of 1t to coat his skin
against the attacks of insects; man
dips his festered hide in 1t to improve
his circulation and draw out his govt
and rheumatism. The hog is pachder-
matous; so is Notwithstanding
Cuvier's classification. I have seen
men. know men today, with skin
thicker than the hide Of rhinoceros.
The hog Is omniverous-so is man.
The hog is carniverous by choice-so
is man. The hog is herbiverous, gran
iverous, graminiverous and phytivor-
GUS by education-so is man.
These reflections are induced by the
indignities offered a useful animal.
The hog was the cleanliest of beasts
until man built sty and imprisoned
him in filth, fattened him on filth,
killed him in filth and ate him in
filth. No animal, w.ld or domestic, is
SO clean about it's bed as the hog. 1t
wants pure, sweet, fresh straw every
time. The hog has brains. 1t has
been known to excel the pointer in
scenting quail

RUSSIAN LANGUAGE,
More Valuable 10 Acquire Than ANY
Other Continental Tongue.

Other Continental Tongue.
When every progressive young Ger
man is doing his utmost to acquire a
thorough knowledge Of some other Ian
guage than his own it seems waste
OF time for the Englishman to learn
German with an idea to making
money. Instead, he should learn Rus
sian. Russian is not the official Ian
guage, but the actual medium of COM
munication throughout an empire mat
extends from the Baltic to the Yellow
sea. Years ago on the Moscow cx-
change one might transact business as
rapidly in German as in Russian; now
the native merchants, even those who
know German, require some special
inducement to speak it, and in the hur-
ry of business turn aside impatiently
from any one who addresses them in
any other tongue than that they them
selves habitually use. In the near flu
ture a knowledge of Russian will be
worth more to the mere commercial
than any two continental languages,
for Russia is making gigantic strides
in all industries, says Pearson's Week
ly. AS recent visitor aptly describes
it, Russia is a new America" To

occur in large numbers and damage
the tobacco considerably. In the early
part of the season, as a general thing,
but few of them are found, and in or
binary seasons they are not especially
noticed during the early "worming
of the tobacco. In August they begin
to be more abundant, and generally
leave the plant about the end of the
month, entering the ground, trans

toward the end of September.

Glover Seed,

A communication from the Vermont
Experiment Station says that clover
seed absolutely pure is an unknown
article in the market. In buying clover
seed it is just question of how much
impurity there shall be and what the
impurity is. 1t IS not necessary to
have a great quantity of foreign mat
ter in order TO have very undesirable
mixture. II there is a half ounce OF
seed of some bad weed in a bushel OF
clover seed 1t may be enough to infest
the farm for years. Vermont clover
seed is probably no worse than any
other; and it is better to SOW poor
seed than not to grow clover-withln
certain limits-but in many cases the
goods offered on the general market
may as well be subjected to an ex-
animation.
The Vermont Experiment Station
made a number of these examinations
last year. Twenty samples Of red
clover seed showed an average impur-
ity Of is per cent by weight Twelve
samples Of alsike clover showed an
average impurity Of 80 per cent. BY
actual count in small samples the
