The Pigs and Their Dams.

There is a great difference of opin-
ion in regard to the time that young
pigs should be allowed to remain with
their dams. If we only desire to raise
one litter year they may be allowed
to remain with their dam until they
are about ten weeks old, but If two lit
tiers are to be raised, it will be neces-
sary to wean them when six or eight
weeks old. We may also be guided
largely by the way the young pigs are
thriving. # the milk Of the dam does
not agree with them it may be wise to
wean them early, but if they are doing
well it is better to let them remain
with the dam some eight or ten weeks.

FEEDING A SKELETON.
An old Scotch story from which
Scores Of American Farmers Can
Draw 4 Lesson.

A story is told Of q Scotch physician
who was in search of boy with suf-
ficient nerve to assist him when diff
cult surgical operations we're on hand.
The doctor, by the way, was ven
triloquist, and he hit upon the follow
ing plan to enable him to secure the
boy he was looking for: Each candi-
date was set to work to feed Cruel to
skeleton which stood in an adjacent
room. No sooner had the boy got to
work than the doctor would call out
in sepulchral tones: "More, give mo
more" The voice sounded to the boy
as though it came from the skeleton.
A number of those first tried, as soon
as they heard the sepulchral tones,
dropped the bowl Of cruel and ran
At length boy was found who con-
tinued to feed the cruel, notwithstand-
ing the repeated cries of the skeleton
for more. When the Cruel was all fed
he struck the skeleton on the side Of
the head with the spoon, saying rs he
did so: my, Bony, but you are hard
to satisfy" This boy got the posi-
ton.
We laugh at the idea of feeding
skeleton, but are not some persons
engaged in just about as profitable q
business? They feed live stock all the
winter, that is to say, young and
growing stock. The animals 20 out
in the spring just about as they went
into the yard in the fall. The chief
difference is that they have q little
more bone and hair in the spring and
li4tle less flesh. Sometimes they
have considerably less in the spring
than in the fall. Those persons have
been about as profitably employed al
the boy who was feeding the skeleton,
and the food fed to those animals ac-
complished about as much for those
who fed them as the food fed to the
skeleton accomplished for the owner
OF the same. So it is with all growing
animals. The food fed to them 10

Improving Marshy Land.

When piece of marshy land has
been drained it is often found that
crops fail to thrive, although it seems
to be very rich in nitrogen. The rem
edy is to add barnyard manure. The
semi-aquatic vegetation which for
merly occupied the land decays so
slowly that cultivated crops cannot
get nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added it
sets up a fermentation which con-
verts the nitrogen bearing materials
into q more soluble and hence avail
able form.-Director C. E. Thorne,

diversity in Feeding.

All animals on the farm prefer foods
that may not be relished by some
Others. The farmer should take adj
vantage Of this fact and utilize all the
materials that might be wasted if
there were not some animals that
would accept them. A judicious use OF
the feed cutter, mixing little bran or
meal with the cut food, and tempting
the animals with . variety, will rem
der seryiceable even such foods as

modes Of serving corn fodder that will
make it acceptable to dainty animals.

Ru,sian Cattle for England.


The Russians are now talking of in
vading England with their cattle. A
commission from the Russian Agri-
cultural society will visit England
soon to pave the way for this class Of
business. Our shippers need not be
worried about Russian competition in
the live stock field. Russia has COM
paratively few cattle to spare, and
they are not of class that will meas
ure favorably with ours in quality.
The English people have accepted our
cattle as good il not superior to their
own and no other country can fill the
bill. However, we should not stop at
this. but strive to make them better.
There is still room for improvement

HOW CATTLE MULTIPLY.
the Systematic Raising
Of Good Stock,

There is money in raising cattle and
no one who has ever kept them and
cared for them in q business way has
ever made q statement to the con-
trary, says the Texas Stockman and
Farmer. A young man cannot invest
$50 in q safer or more certain business
than to buy good cow and take care
of her progeny for period Of five or
ten years. In ten years $50 at ten per
cent. will double itself, but where can
. young man loan $50 at such rate of
Interest? Anyway at the end of ten
years he will only have 500 for his in
vestment. If he will invest $50 in one
good prolific cow and take care of her
and her offspring for ten years, his
$50 will not only double but create
more than 1000 per cent. of the first
principle. As an example Of what can
be done in this line case is given by
the Hoxie Sentinel.
'Ten years ago." says the Sentinel,
'"John Sims presented his two sons,
Willis and Robert, with cow each and
put them in Willis Johnson's herd to
pasture, instructing Mr.. johnson to
sell or trade the steer calves for heif-
ers and also sell enough Of the increase
to pay the herd bills, which he has
done. Mr.. Sims and family returned
home from Colorado, where they had
been seven years, and the boys found
that each had nice little herd of cat
tie. One had rather bad luck, however,
and ONLY found 10, while the other
found that he was the possessor of %,
making q total Of IS for the two cows,
after deducting Ill loss and expenses"
II the young men in question had
worked and cared for their respective
stock and with the proceeds of ma
tured animals added more breeding
enimals to their herds, it is plain that
the above figures could easily have
been doubled.

Cold Comfort Fer TiIluan's Toadies.

The Tillmanite organs, from
the News and Courier, the latest
convert, down to the tiniest Of
the toadies have been fussing
themselves into a fdgit trying to
determine whether the death of
President Mckinley would result
in shearing Senator McLaurin Of
his influence with the admins
tration at Washington. The gen
eral line of argument taken by
these newspapers has, of course,
been inspired by their petty par
tizan spite against McLaurin,
rather than by any thought for
the welfare of their State. The
conclusion unanimously reached
with much glee has been that the
Junior Senator would not longer
sufficiently enjoy the confidence
of the administration to secure
the appointment of reputable
South Carolinians to federal posi-
tions in this State. Tillman's in
fuence in Washington being mi
nus nit the greatest achievement
of his henchmen according to
their pusilanimous attitude would
be the destruction Of the Nc
Laurin influence in the same
quarter. Far better say these
subservient supporters of Till
mans reign that every federal
Office in South Carolina should be
filed with negroes and carpet
baggers than that the McLaurin
influence should be credited with
securing office for a respectable
native South Carolinian. To
these much agitated agents of
the agitator we would suggest
that they go way back and sit
down. They will find, out in a
few days that the assassins bull
let has not helped Tillman by
depriving McLaurin of any Of
his influence. The Junior Sen
ator was in this city yesterday
on his way to attend the Fair
view Stock Show, today. He had
but just come from a very salts
factory visit to President Roose-
velt. and was as smiling as a
basket of chips. In the death of
President Mckinley he has lost
a highly honored friend, but he
/ has not lost as the Tillnanites
have been hoping, any of his
power to help the white people
of his State. The following eX-
tract from a Washington dis
patch of R. M. Larner published
| in The News and Courier yester-
day will give but cold comfort to
the foes of the progressive dem
ocracy:

legged to be in friendly accord to

certain extent with the theor
les of Senator McLaurin of
South Carolina, in dealing with
Southern policies. Senator Nc
Laurin was among the callers at
the White Houge today and it is
known that he had a private
conversation with the President
on that subject" :"
"When Senator McLaurin ar
rived at the White House the
President was engaged with
many congressional and other
official callers in the large Office
adjoining the Cabinet room.
The Junior Senator from South
Carolina waited until after all
the casual callers were disposed.
Of after which he was invited IN
to the Cabinet room, where,
alone with President Roosevelt,
the subject Of "McLaurinism" in
the South is said to have been
discussed. At the conclusion of
the interview Senator McLaurin
declined to make any statement
concerning the conversation he
had with the President, further
than to say that his talk with
the President was strictly con-
Hdontial and therefore could not
be repeated, either in detail or
substance. It is understood,
however, that Senator McLau-
rim has had considerable CORE
spondence with President Roose-
velt on this subject prior to the
death of President Mckinley,
and their relations are such that
more than two months ago Mr..
Roosevelt, then Vice President.
invited Senator McLaurin to Wis
it him at Oyster Bay and talk
over the Southern situation. 1t
is claimed that while the rela-
tionship between Pres de n t
Roosevelt and Senator McLau-
rim may not be as close nor the
understanding between the two
men as complete as it was be,
tween President Mckinley and
the junior Senator from South
Carolina, the status Of Senator
I McLaurin with the present ad-
ministration will not differ ma
terially from that which pre-
vailed while President Mckln-
ley was alive.
Some of Senator McLaurln's
friends assert with great posi-
tiveness that he has assurances
from President Roosevelt that
the present administration IS

disposed to follow the course
marked out by Mckinley in deal
ing with political affairs in South
Carolina. In support of this
contention new collector Of
internal revenue for the State Of
South Carolina is to be appoint
ed within a few days, whose
principal sponsor is Senator Nc
Laurin. It is authoritatively
stated that Loomis Blalock, a
prominent business man of New
berry. has been selected to sue
ceed the late E. A. Webster,
who died the same day Presi-
dent Mckinley was shot. Web
ster was the Republican boss of
South Carolina and was a mem
Der of the Republican national
committee. Since his death the
Republican machine in the State
has been striving to have Deputy
Collector Merrill appointed to
fill the vacancy, but it appears
that the influence Of Senator Nc
Laurin and the commercial inter
ests back of Mr.. Blalock out
weighed that of the regular Re
publican organization in the
Palmetto State.
Senator McLaurin, although
extremely reticent on this sub
iect and also with regard to his
interview with President Roose-
velt, showed by his cheerful
manner, as he was leaving the
White House, that his reception
had been both cordial and emin-
emily satisfactory. Senator Nc
Laurin leaves Washington to-
night for his home in South
Carolina, where, it is understood
he will confer with his political
friends and resume his contest
for reelection to the Senate. y
