admirably summed up by Dr. Bancroft in the

The variety OF Stewards resources and the

the direct influence of two men-John Quincy
Adams and ThurlOw Weed-who were hardly
alike than day and night. His relations
with Weed have often been mentioned. John
Quincy Adams's friendship and example inspired
many of Stewards best acts, for Seward looked
upon him with positive reverence. Shortly after
AdamS's death Seward said, in some remarks

Green Food For Hogs.

Let me emphasize the fact that it
costs nothing except the fencing to
pasture hogs. | take the liberty and
risk OF saying that every pound hog
gains from his green feed is clear pro-
fit, provided he is rightly managed. If
farmers Il mean small llfarmers-could
be made to realize that a ten or twen-
ty-acrc field can be made to raise
crop of hogs and just as much grain as
it does, with no III IRE extra cost than
the fencing, surely more farms would
have at least u portion fenced hog
|, proof.
Three acres of land, we'll seeded
with wheat, oats and barley, will fur
nish grazing for twenty head Of hogs
and yield as much grain as any equal
amount Of land on farm. Last year
this was proved in our community, the
hogs having run Of lot till it was ready
for binder; it then thrcshed out eight
cen bushels per acre. Oats sown
about the middle Of January furnish
excellent Spring grazing; later SOW
barley, and here you have my choice
for pasture. You are now safe to
the hardest, hottest part Of the year.
10 bridge over this to Fall wheat SOW
ing, mix one half bushel cane seed
per acre with other grain when sowing
IN Spring. When the grain is ripe
and ceases to sap the ground of the
moisture in it, the sorghum will soon
appear and will not be long in getting
eight or ten inches high From this
point to heading out is the most use
full stage for hog feeding. There is
nothing better for feeding through the
! hot season, as it keeps them thriving
and yet does not fattcn.
Bermuda makes a splendid pasture
for hogs during Spring aud Summer,
and certainly all waste land accessible
to lots, such as branches, their banks,
hooks and corners, would prove valua-
BILE if set to Bermuda and fenced for
pig pasture. consider grain just as
good pasture and valuable, according
to amount Of grain harvested extra ;.s

There are other green's that hogs
will cut readily. One kind is young
cookie burs. and if we're too lazy and
trifing to furnish good pasture for my
hogs, something that would make my
business pleasant as we'll as profitable;
something that would cause net cash

That would make pigs wide as well az
high: something that would make
their coats slick and their tails curl,
l would furnish them just enough
young burs to kill them (and it won /
take many), and then go out of the
business-at least the hog business.

mCnths Several complaints have been
received from business houses that letters
mailed between Franklin Street and Wall
Street between 6 and clock in the even
ing have not been delivered. Inspectors
King, James. and Jacobs were detailed on
the case. but the complaints came i'm until
over 1000 letters had been stolen. Forty
clerks volunteered to patrol the lisrict
between and o'clock.
The three inspectors saw a well-tressed
young man acting suspiciously last night
al the mail box at Maiden Lane and Mas
saG Street. They followed him along the
streets until they met Policeman Minlev
al the foot of the Bowery and had him ar
rested. AT the Eldridge Street police sta
tion several letters were found in his poek-
cts, some of which contained valuable
stock certificates and checks. Some of the
letters bore uncancelled stamps The

and his address as 2l9 Adams Street.
