LATCH KEYS FOR WOMEN.

One 81 tho Last Male Perqnisites Seized
M s by tho Bachelor Girl.
NJ Latch keys have ceased to be male
perquisite since the old fashioned spin
ster has been replaced by the bachelor
maid. The bachelor girl is nothing II
net determined. and so she has adopt
ed one of the last remaining articles
that man could call his own. When
the key came the pocket had to come
with it, of course, and now 1t Is cut in
the back of the dress skirt very near
the belt line and with q bit Of a flap
over it to conceal the fact that a coat
tail is missing. And thus it is that
the freed woman goes on her way, con-
seious that she may at least enter her
own doors at all sorts Of coveted and
fascinating hours without arousing
everyone from the butler to the aged
grandparent who "disapproves. When
the pocket came the key chain had to
follow in its wake and, behold, from
a button proudly sewn to the tailor
girls "weskit" hangs the jewelers. de-
vice, for she has not been ennanctpat-
ed long enough to leave off sterling

ness she was forced into some of the.
needs of a man and some of his pa
tented rights had to come to her, and SO
there came the key ring, in the train
of the key and chain, and there was
another chance for the smithy to turn
out pieces of artistic workmanship,
They are oftener heart-shaped wires
of silver, solid and wide. So it seems
that woman never gets so new thai
she cannot carry hearts around. Other
designs are serpents and over their
spring-set tails go the door key, tha
mail box key, the escritoire key and
all the rest Of the lot that used to be
always among the missing And
now the bachelor maid is free from
care unless she forgets chain and ring
and keys.

Good and Bad butter.

Have yot ever stopped to think that
the world is hungry for fresh, highly
favored creamery butter, and that the
demand for the same is greater than
the creameries can supply? Have you
ever stopped to think that there is not
an eater In the land hungry for the
butter you sell at the grocery store?
Nine OF every ten pounds Of butter sold
at the grocery goes into a barrel and
lis sold as packing stock for several
cents a pound less than the merchant,
paid for 1t, and is not offered to the pub
lie as butter until it is purified and
sells at a higher price than its maker
received. What is wrong with such
system? Give to your creamery every
pound of cream you make into this low
priced grease, and the increase in
price you will receive viii make you
smile. --Exchange.

1t is evident from brief considera-
ton Of tho subject that the powers Of
digestion Of fowls are somewhat diff
ferent from that of other farm stock
This difference is in favor Of the fowl
and Is due to the gizzard. This makes
it possible for the fowl to pulverize the
bony and other hard matter consumed.
To what extent this pulverized mate
srial is taken into the circulation we
do not yet know.

Red Hogs.

1t strikes the writer OF the SWlAe
editorials that the Jreeder OF Led hogs
IS we'll deserving Of a word OF nor
sympathy but praise and encourage
ment at our hands. He seems to have
little to say for himself but he may
here take notice that we shall be glad
to have him come to the front and
say something in his own behalf
through these columns. We thought
Of the red hog man last week when
visiting upon large stock farm down
in the fiat lands Of western Indiana
where the big bitches have made 1t
possible to grow good crops of corn
and grass instead OF the crops Of frogs
which were at one time the main de-
pendence of the residents for living.
(They didn't personally eat the frogs
but got good price for them in the,
Chicago Market.) Here we found up
on the same farm large herds of both
Poland Chinas and Duroc-Jerseys and
both varieties were of good blood ard
form. 1t was chance to compare
notes as to. the difference between the
two lots of hogs and we do not intend
to tell all that was said because there
was no red hog man there to make
professional statement for his
friends. But after all what did trans
pire was to the credit CT the red hog
breeder and we rather imagine that
his PC rival would take exception to
some OF the remarks made on behalf
Of the warm tinted swine. Our own
opinion was that comparing the two
breeds the red hogs had the advantage
In size of frame and length of body
but appeared somewhat coarse and
loosely built. Is this correct esti-
mate? Interviewed, the breeder said
that what he found to be especially n
favor of the red SOW is that she brings
forth more pigs thai, her PC sister.
His annual average shows eight pigs
per SOW for the red breed against five
for the PC and he tells us that the
red pigs are great hustlers after FEED
from birth and seem to be less sus-
ceptible to the ailments of young pigs
than are the others. Also as they
grow towards maturity they grow
heavier than the black pigs and make
growth faster on the same amount OF
food and at killing time weigh with
him 100 pounds more than the 2nnarls-r
