His Reasons for Granting Pardon for Ac-

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 13.-Acting
Governor Taylor, in explaining his
reasons for granting pardons to all the
men, in prison and out, who are &C
cused of having guilty knowledge of
the assassination of Governor-elect
William Goebel, said: "Believing that
each one Of said persons is innocent of
any completely in said crime, and
further believing that the enormous
reward will secure the conviction of
these men, however innocent, l deemed
it my solemn duty to issue pardons to
them in order that these political con.
spirators might not be enabled to de-
prive them of their liberty or their
life. The guilty men should be pun
ishcd, but designing men controlling
the courts should not be enabled to
shed the blood Of innocent men, and
if it is in my power to prevent 1t l
pledge myself in the name of God ard
humanity it shall not be done"

THE IDEAL PORK HOG.
Paper Read BEFORE the Texas SWine
BPeeMers' Association ~
A w. Parrot.

The question as to just what type O.
hog will best promote the development.
of that animal for the final object for
which he exists-the production Of
pork at the lowest cost worth the larg-
est amount o: net profits one OF
more than ordinary interest to all
classes of hog raisers.
The small, fancy type embraces that
class Of hcgs that are below medium
in size, small bones, short, smooth
evenly rounded form; fine, silky hair:
short nose and wide face. Animals OF
this class are easily kept fat. as a rule,
make an attractive appearance and are
popular with those fanciers whose
aim is to tickle the fancy of .heiF Gus
toners, rather than furnish producers
with profitable feeders. Sucn animals,
as feeders under average treatment.
and an almost exclusive corn ration,
would hardly weigh more than one
hundred and fifty to one hundred and
seventy-five pounds, at ten to twelve
months old; but, owing to their at
trsctive appearance, would probsbl.'
sell for five to ten cents more per hun
dred than the average of same size
hogs that were much younger.
The characteristics of those termed
large sized are,extremely large frames.
unusual length of body; legs and feet
large, hair and general apPearahce

When fully developed these may BE-
luade to weigh from six to eight hum
dred pounds. Hogs of this eharacte.

Selecting Fruit Trees.

This requires great care, as there
are SO many things to be considered.
especially if ordering from agents.
There is one general fsult that
should he looked out for. The head of
most young trees is started too low or
too near the ground. They are of good
proportion to look nice wher you get
them, or, in other words, when small
and ont of the ground, but when they
are set you will find them too low to
work around with = team and they
have to be trimmed or pruued 20 that
they will grow or start out straight
up, and then when they are large and
get to bearing are more apt to split
down, and then they are spoiled. The
side branches may be cut on and the
upright branch left to grow a year o.
two, then clip on the top aud another
head will be thus started, but this will
set the tree a year or 20 behind. Some
nurserymen are not careful enough
about keeping the suckers or small
branches cut OF the trunks CT bodies
of the trees. If they are left too long
they. of course, get large and when
they are cut on will leave bad scar
or knot. and the trees are stunted
more or less. / have seen trees for
which . good price was paid that wera
hardly fit tc set at all on this account.

GRANULAR EYELDs.
4 ns....e That Nay Ne Easily sCen-
.tPaeted Through Contagion,
and How.

This is . very distressing and often
serious form of conjunctivitis, or in
Hammation Of the mucous membrane
covering the eyeball and the lids. As
its name implies, it is usually confined
to- the membrane which lines the lids;
but it may also creep ON to the eye
portion. and even when it does not it
often excites other troubles there
which may endanger the sight. Inc
disease is much less common than ~
used to be- At one time it was almost
constantly to be found in orphan
asylums, schools, armies, and wherever
numbers of people lived together IN
more or less intimate contact, ana
often in such places extensive epidem-
les of the disease occurred.
We now know, says Youths Compan-
ion, that the trouble is contagious, and
may be spread from one person to an
other through the common use OF TOW.
els, pillows and so forth; and this knowl-
edge has led to a marked reduction in
the prevalence of the affection.
through the enforcement of isolation
and the observance of greater cleanli-
ness.
The disease usually begins in acute
form with redness of the ey balls, swell
ing Of the lids, itching and watering OF
the eyes, and an extreme moderation
OF light. The eyes feel hot and tender.
and there is usually q slight glairy
discharge.
At this stage the symptoms are the
same as those of an ordinary conjunc-
tivitis or cold in the eye, but when the
acute stage begins to subside, the eyes
do not get well. The under surface Of
the lids becomes covered with little
granules of deep red color. After
awhile these granulations may ulcer
ate, and then the discharge from tho
eye increases and becomes thick and
yellowiSh- s-t : I~sss.s
Following this stage, which is some
times very slight in degree, the mem-
brane lining the lids becomes dry and
parchment-like, and contracts. rolling
the lids inward, SO that the lashes rub
against the eyeball. This rubbing
causes irritation, blood vessels grow
down over the upper part, and heshy
mass forms which remains as perma-
nent Disagreement, as well as an inn
pediment to vision when il encroaches
upon the pupil. e4s
The treatment Of fgranular lids is very
difficult, for the disease is exceedingly
obstinate. For this reason prevention
is a matter of the utmost Importance.
A child who suffers from this. or any
eye affection, should have his own
wash basin, soap. towels, napkins and
han6kerchiefs. He should sleep alone.
and in every possible way should be
prevented from coming in close contact
with others. so long at least as there II
any discharge from the eyes.

This necessitates a long continued

production as to greatly reduce the
profits ON them as feeders.
The ideal feeders in my Judgment,
should be animals something near IA
average between these two extremes;
of slightly above average length

slightly arched. thick hams and deep
sides; animals that, with good ordi-
nary feeding, will keep in good flesh

when ready for market, at eight to ten
months, will weigh from two hundred
and twenty-five to two hundred and
seventy-five pounds. I believe theirs
il NO more important quality in the
makeup of the hog intended for pork
at good profit, than that of easy fat
tening at any age. IT the market un-
expectedly advances, or the price Of
feed gets too high. the hog should be
in condition to sell at once. The inn
portant point with the pork raiser is
the type of animal to use to produce
the most profitable feeder. 1t is well
known that the tendency of the corn-
fed hog as producer is to degenerate.
get smaller with each succeeding
generation, finally resulting in the
small sized, small boned type, too
small to produce the desirable porker.
Then, in order to keep up the stand
ard to the proper size it is necessary
to add new blood from those animals
that have been fed for the develop
ment of bone and muscle, in feet AMI
legs, As well as for larger size Of
