THE SUPPLY OF HOGS.
1t Is Somewhat Below Demand at
Present and Prospects for the
Future Are Promising.

The man who raises plenty of corn
and then raises plenty of hogs to con-
sumo it, is putting his product where
it will do the most good, says Drov-
ers' Journal. Hogs are rela lively
high now and according to the best
information obtainable the supply in
the country is somewhat below the
normal at the present time. How
ever, the best posted men on the hog
situation have been mistaken on fore
casts of this kind and one is bound
to admit that the country is large and
that it is impossible to get accurate
statistics Oh the growing crop. There
are many who believe that the light
average weight is an indication that
the later supply will be short, .basing
their judgment on the theory that no
heavy hogs are BILE, because if
they were the premium that they are
commanding would force them in.
Without question the marketing of so
many young hogs now means less to
come later on, whether the shortage
will be serious or not remains to be
seen. So far this winter the eastern
supply has been quite large, at least
large enough to keep shipments down
to compare lively low figure. It is
generally believed that this supply has
been pretty we'll marketed and so the
coast is clearer for better demand
from this source later on. Perhaps
the high price of corn has discouraged
many farmers from feeding as many
hogs as usual, but even with corn at
present prices there could be no bet
ter investment than converting it into
pork.

SOME CLOVER FACTS.
There Are Several Varieties Which
Give Fair Yields and Are Valu-
able in Many Ways.

ClOEerS are among our most valuable
forage plants. but they will not with
stand the extremes of drought and
heat that prevail over large sections of
the west every year and in other sec
lions of the same region some years.
Being soil renovators they can be
grown in rotation with other crops to
advantage. On account of the large
amount Of protein they contain they
have high feeding value. There are
several varieties of clovers grown in
this country, among which are the fol-
lowing:
Red clover Curriculum pratense).-
This is the most common variety, and
is grown successfully in the north
wherever the supply of moisture is
sufficient. In dry sections it becomes
uncertain. Some call it a perennial,
but it is scarcely more than a biennial,
it's perennial character being often as
sumed by new plants springing up
from seeds dropped by the plants each
year. 1t makes a good hay, but is I'M
suited for permanent pasture. When
it is desired to use it for pasture, as
single plant, it is necessary to ro-
tate, keeping the clover pasture in one
place for not more than two years.
Mammoth clover (trifolium medium)
resembles red clover, but has no spots
on the leaves. 1t is adapted to more
moist land than is red clover, and un-
der favorable conditions will give
larger yield.
Alsike clover is perennial clover
whose appearance suggests a hybrid
between red and white clover, but it
is not hybrid. 1t will thrive on soil
TOO wet for red clover, but on ordinary
soil is probably not to be SO highly
recommended. A writer says that it
should be sown with grasses to get the
best results.
White clover (trifo!ium repens) is
low-growing perennial, spreading by
creeping stems. The flowers are white,
the older ones more or less purplish
tinged. 1t is of little value for hay
owing to it's small growth, but is very
useful for identifying lawns, and has
some value as pasture plant. Some
farmers sow white clover seed with
bluegrass and consider it an assist
ant to the bluegrass pasture. 1t stands
drought fairly WELL and will grow on
soil too poor to give good yields of
some other pasture plants. IN Ireland
it is called the shamrock.
Crimson clover (trifolium incarna-
tum) is an erect annual foot or two
high. 1T bears scarlet flowers in oD-
long heads. 1t was highly spoken of
some years ago as soil renovator, but
of recent years has been quite gener-
ally ignored in the north. In the south
it is proving valuable in some local
ities.-Farnlers' Review.

youngsters. This can hardly be had
without the aid of artificial heat and
a building especially designed for the
purpose. A farmer of Ohio is
preparing for the erection of build
ing after the plan shown by accom-
panying diagram. This diagram shows
building and adjacent lots. The build
ing is to be 12-sided or decagonal, and
is to be divided into IL apartments of
equal size with space about 10 feet in
diameter in center. Eleven of these
apartments will be used as narrowing
pens, and one will be left for a passage
way. The greatest diameter of build
ing will be about 26 feet. Floor will
be of cement and will be made to slope
gradually from center to circumfer-
ence. Each pen will contain a floor
space of about 38 square feet and will
be provided with tenders, which will
consist of boards so arranged as to
project six inches from walls and will
be placed six or seven inches from
floor. This latter idea is well known
and is recognl. I'd as being great aid
in keeping sow from crushing her
y
otherwise be pressed against the wall
find protection under this projecting
shelf. The inside ends of pens will
be made of wire so as to not resist the
heat from a common stove, which will
be placed in center of building. A
large skylight placed in south side Of
roof will admit an abundance of light.
The outer series of spaces repre-
sent small lots, one for each pen
These are not large, but large enough
for the purpose. They are one rod at
outer end. The whole will occupy about
one-third of an acre and will be built
for about 500. In some localities it
would cost more, but with careful man
agement we believe it can be built al
most anywhere for $3.50. It can be
readily seen that such building will
soon pay for itself. For the purpose
designed we have never seen anything
to equal it'll. E. Tweed, in Ohio

The Beet Sugar Industry.

Growth of the beet sugar industry
in the recent past is greater than gen
orally recognized, now that it is no
longer novelty. A little group of
farmers living near Denver have just
contracted to grow 800 acres of beets
for three years from January 1 next,
to supply new factory to be built.
Like progress and development are
noted in many other sections Of the
west, and as far east as n. 7. In Can
ada growers are in earnest asking the
government to pay bounty for few
years on sugar maze from Canadian
grown beets.

Grading and Packing Honey.

Every beekeeper should strive to
make a reputation as an honorable
shipper, and after it has once been
made he will not have much trouble
in finding a market for his honey.
1t may be needless to say that this
will require eternal vigilance in grad
ing and packing. Dark honey must
not be packed with light, and partly
filled sections must not find their
way into the middle of a case, but
these should be set aside and the
honey extracted from them. Grade
your honey uniformly and try to
have the middle of the case as good
as the facing. Then provide yourself
with a rubber stamp with your name
and address upon it, and stamp all
your goods. This will advertise your
business, and buyers will gain con-
fdence in you and will deal with you
in preference to some one else who
does not stand behind his goods; for,
if you really have a good article, con-
sumers will continue to ask for your
honey.--Farm Journal.

Yesterday deal was concluded be-
tween the owners of the Prince George
aud several other mines on Stockton
Hill and H. s. Mackay, by the terms Of
which the mines will pass into the pos
session of an eastern company. Ma
chinery will be placed on the mines
at once and deep shaft will be sunk
away below the old workings, The
mines are among the best properties in
the county and will undoubtedly prove
to be bonanzas. The owners of the
property that is to pass are Thomas
Mcmahon, j. X. Russell, w. +. Frost,
j. III. johnson and William Free born.
The Prince George was worked in the
early eighties by Charles Dana and NJ.
ID. Howell, under whose management
fully eighty thousand dollars was TAX
on out. After these gentlemen took
the G. O. ID. mine work on the Prince
George was discontinued. The mine
when it passed into the hands of Dana
& Howell, contained body of ore fully
thirteen feet in width and averaging
2l2S as it was taken down. The mail
shaft is now only 10 feet deep anc
has little water in the bottom. Mr.
Mackay will install gasoline or OF
burning hoist on the mine at once anC
put on force of men to open up new
ground. This will give employment

l.. c. Rober and Cal. Wilson have
leased the old Moonbeam mine from
Rod. Mclean and have gone to work.
The mine is situated on Stockton Hill.
A dozen years ago it produced l25,0OlS
from above the l4J-level, while being
worked under the ownership of j. NJ
Gale. Gale squandered the money and
the mine later was sold for debt. Ulti-
mately the owner allowed the title to
lapse and Mr.. Mclean located it. In
connection with the Moonbeam mine
there is the usual story of the FOOLS
luck, etc Along in the early eighties
the mine was located by Ed Burke and
Philip Hach. They worked it spas
medically for year or two with indif-
ferent success. j. NJ. Gale came along
one day aud having 6J0S in cash and a
large sized desire to own a mine they
sold the claim to him. Gale, who knew
absolutely nothing of mining, tried to
get some one to go in with him and
take half interest in the property,
but the inducements held out we're not
alluring and he had TO go to work
alone. In an old drift he opened up
body of the richest ore the mine had
ever produced and that within eighteen
inches from where the old owners had
quit. From this ore chute he took
fully l25O0Os within year, the greater
part of which was squandered in King.
man. And the Moonbeam is not the
only mine on Stockton Hill capable of
repeating history.
