Make the Pig Grow.

=
Give the young pigs a good start.
II will be to your interest to do so.
A young pig that has once been stunt
ed will never wholly outgrow it. no
matter how good the subsequent care
may be. Any animal being grown for
meat should have feed enough to make
s. good gain every day from birth to
-slaughter%.H there is ever a time in
that animals life when no gain Is be-
ing made IN weight. all feed consumed
during that time is practically lost, for
the profit all comes from the feed
that makes the gain above the amount
required to maintain the animals
needs. In other words. a certain
amount Of feed necessary to keep the
animal alive, and the profit must all
come from the little extra feed that
makes the gain in flesh. A young anil
NAL will gain more on given quantity
sof feed than an older animal on the
same feed. l. think we night safely
say the. younger the animal the
greater the gain for the feed con-
sumed. That is why it pays better to
feed young stock.-Swine Advocate.

The Wastes on American Farms.

American farmers are the most
wasteful in the world, and American
farming the most wastefrl business
in our wasteful country. They waste
land by keeping many acres unused
On which they waste money BY pay
:rg taxes. They waste their crops b.
leaving large portion to die and dry
up in the fields. or they leave their
grain standing 1Gtil wasted by wind,
rain, Insects and fungi, or shock 1t
and leave it to take the weather as
it comes. They waste seed after saw
ing to feeding it in a wastefal man
ner. They waste fertility of their
fields by careless methods OF cropping,
while the home supply Of manure IS
permitted to waste by means CT sun
and rain. They waste their substance
by buying on credit (for which privi-
lege they pay liberal tax in over
charge) or borrowing money for which
they have to pay interest as we'll as
principal.
They waste tools and implements
by leaving them exposed to weather.
and then must further waste valuable
time working ineffective tools. Waste
is found in the kitchen and in every
department of the household as well
asfn the fields and barns. The success
of German farmers, Chinese farmers
or farmers from any other country is
mainly attributable to their practice
of a system of farm economy, learned
where economy or starvation were al
ternatives. Here the alternative is net
so exacting. 1t IS merely economy or
comparative poverty. In this country
farmer may live and emerge from the
years business without actual loss,and
at the same time waste enough to feed
foreigner or several horses. or
enough to fatten beef or two, or
several hogs. Rigid economy may not
be actually imperative here. but 1t is
judicious.-Farm and Ranch.

Story With Only One Side TO It

ST remember on one occasion l had
been translating Chinese book bear

my Chinese writer and teacher:
"Now, I want you, if you will, to get
me some book that represents the
other side.'
"He said: What other side?'
"'Why,' I said. there are a great
many of my countrymen who say that
opium does not do harm in all cases,
but this book gives very bad account
of what opium does. I want to hear
the other side

WAYS OF CATCHING COLD.
A Physician Tells of the Danger of Be
coming Chilled or Damp.

A Physician Tells of the Danger of Be-
coming Chilled or Damp.
The various ways in which cold
may be brought on are thus described
by a physician: "a little knife blade
of air blowing in through a crack IN
a window upon some part of the body
will chill that part, and the blood yes
sells of that region will become con-
tracted, affecting somewhere in the in
terror of the body an area in reflex
relation with this portion. of the sur
face Of the body. -.-r
For instance, the blood vessels Of
the skin of the top of the shoulders
and the chest are associated with the
blood vessels of the lungs, so that
whatever happens to the blood YES
sells of the skin of the shoulders and
chest happens also to the blood YES
sells of the lungs: If there is a contrac-
ton of the blood vessels Of the back
of the neck, there will be contraction
of the blood vessels of the
top of the shoulders. and the
shoulder blades there will also
be a contraction of the blood vessels
of the lungs. When the influence OF
the cold is continued, this contraction
is followed by congestion.
when one puts his hands into cold
water for few minutes, they are first
pale and then red. This is reaction.
The longer the application and the
more intense the degree of cold the
greater will be the contraction and the
congestion. So if the back Of the
neck is exposed for long time to the
influence of cold. one is likely to have
a cold in the nose and throat. If the
shoulder blades and the tops of the
shoulders are exposed, one is likely to
take cold in the lungs and suffer from
congestion Of the lungs. If the cold
is long continued. it may cause not
only a congestion, but an Inflammation
of the nose or the lungs.
$50 if the bottoms of the feet be-
come wet or chilled weakness OF the
bladder may result if there has ever
been a trouble there, or a weakness
of the stomach if there has been
catarrh Of that organ.

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or moro
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
OF exaggeration in this. If q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets II.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ticn; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Finkham's address is

Plants Affected With Insects.

Window plants that appear yellow
or do not have a healthy appearance
are overmatured or affected with IN
sects. The pots should be examined
in order to discover if the drainage
is perfect. It is not necessary to have
the earth wet. but simply moist, and
to allow the earth to dry some will
do no harm. The dust in the rooms
will settle in the leaves Of the plants.
which makes it necessary to give each
plant thorough washing occasionally.

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1890, saying
her daughter had suffered for two

their presence at one of the Sunday af-

THE PRESBYTERIAN REVISION
The Committee Has Agreed Upon a
Statement of Faith

The Committee Has Agreed Upon a
Statement Of Faith.
Washington, Dec. 14.-Considerable
progress was made by the Presby.
terian revision committee yesterday.
and at the end of today's sessions it is
hoped TO have completed tentatively
the work to be submitted to the gen.
eral assembly at its next meeting The
committee has agreed upon tentative
statement of the reformed faith in un.
technical terms. II makes Is articles.
This is intended for popular use in
explanation of Presbyterian doctrine
and is not intended TO take the place
OF the confession of faith. There is
no change in the substance of the
theology of the church-but a change
only in the forms of expression de.
signed TO make the people understand
what the church believes.
The matter now under consideration
is the declaratory statement intended
TO explain certain points in the con.
fessiOn of faith, such as the salvation
of all infants. There is also the mat.
ter Of statements additional to the
confession on the gospel and the
Holy Spirit to be considered.
