BEST HOG FOR FARMERS.
1t Is the one That Can BE Made to
Weigh $50 or 800 Pounds In
Nine or Ten Months.

My opinion is that the most profita bic
hog for the general farmer to raise is a
hog that can be made to weigh $50 or
300 pounds as early as possible, say It
nine to ten months of age, says a CORE
spondent of the Prairie Farmer. AS to
breeds, my choice is the Poland-China.
The most favorable time for the young
pigs to arrive must be determined by
circumstances and the conyeniences at
hand for caring for them. NV expert
ence is the earlier the better, as I find
it difficult to get the same growth on
May pig at nine months as one far
rowed IN March. l am not prepared to
say just why this is so, but one reason
undoubtedly is that they are just in
time to feed on the young and tender
cover and grasses. Where one has lot
a good warm place for the young pigs
and wishes to raise large number it
is probably best and much more con-
venient to have them narrowed the
last of April or May and turn them off
at lighter weight or else keep them
through the winter, which takes more
care and feed. Another advantage to
DE gained by early farrow is that if you
are an advocate of fall pigs you can
wean your pigs at six weeks or two
months old and breed your sows again
to farrow about September, or if you
do not wish to breed for fall litters your
sows may be fattened ready for mar
ket at that time, when pork is usually
a better price than later This takes
them out of the way and gives a better
opportunity to care for. the young
pigs.
The young pigs should be fed liberal
~ with bone and muscle making foods.
oats either ground or whole are an ex-
cellent feed for growth Do not feed
corn or other fattening feed until they
have made considerable growth, when
1t is an easy matter to put on fat. If
they are pushed too fast in the first
place they will only make lot of fat
little chunks. There are several rea-
sons for getting the pigs to market as
soon as practicable. 1t saves feed, as
every experienced feeder knows that
the first 200 pounds is much cheaper
than the next 200 pounds, and the 100
pounds from 800 to 400 is usually quite

AN INFANTRY RAID.
People and Cattle and Seemed
Uncanny

II don't quite like this talk about
cavalry raids,'' said the colonel in the
Chicago Inter Ocean. ''The intima-
ton is that the infantry never made
any raids, but they did, and they
made pretty good time, too. During
the civil war nearly all raids in the
mountains were made by infantry.
and we foot cavalry had some rich
experiences. The plan was like this:
A brigade would march out to a
given point within striking distance
of the district to be raided, would
go into camp as a reserve and a
regiment would be sent out in light
marching order to do the real work
of the expedition.
ION one occasion our regiment
hurried almost at a double-quick
through a series of narrow valleys
to destroy some confederate works.
The people along the road fed from
us as from a pestilence. Unionists as
well as confederates scurried up the
mountains as we approached. No
one stopped to ask any questions,
but everybody ran away, and the
panic extended to the horses, COWS,
hogs and dogs. All this seemed very
uncanny, but the column in blue went
sweeping forward, without a stray
gler or a 1ooter, to do it's work The
next day a raid was made in an
other direction, our regiment cover
ing 80 miles in Is hours and DESTROY
ing mills which the confederates had
been using.
''Some months later we were raid
ing another mountainous district
which had been patrolled by south
ern cavalry, when we came down into
a settlement near the river. Here
the people did not run away, but
watched our movements with inter
est. The boys feared an ambush,
and details were sent to see that no
men were in hiding in the several
houses. One man sitting on the front
porch of brick house was asked:
ANY rebel cavalry here to-day?' He
replied: Not since breakfast and
when we proceeded to search the
house made no objection. We were
so impressed by the LONELINESS of
the house that we apologized for the
intrusion, but the owner said: That's
all right. If you are not going to
stay it is just as we'll that you
searched the house. If you are going
to stay, it doesn't make any differ
ence. My name is Brownlow.'

asked one of the boys, and when the
man said Yes all our squad shook

THE RABBIT IN TRADE.
millions of Pounds of Meat and of
Skins Exported Annually from
Australia to Europe.

Rabbits are small things, but, like
microbes and measles, they play
havoc with men and things when
they get thick and spread over large
areas. They literally eat up things.
New South Wales, Australia, once had
nearly 10O,OOO,0OO sheep. That col
'Ony now has less than 5O,OO0,OO0. The
drOughts of the country have been
bad enough, but the rabbits have been
the worst pest which ever afflicted
the land of the New South Welshmen.

rs more than 100, 100000 acres In one
year there have been killed over &c.
OO0, 600 rabbits, and their skins paid
for by the government under the
rabbit destruction act" Probably
twice as many died on the CRASHES
plains. by poison or from starvation
or thirst. in their own warrens within
the fenced-in area or out upon the bare
broad earth from which they ate
every vestige of grass or leaf which
fed them and the hapless sheep of

SVere imported into Great Britain last
year more than 100000 pounds of
frozen rabbits and more than 10000
600 rabbit skins for fur and spin
users This is some compensation,
but not enough for the loss of So
100000 sheep in one colony-fully
~So,OO0,O0O of the loss being due direct
ay to the devastation of rabbits-and
the financial wreck of the banks of
the country in 1890 when financial in
stitutiouts closed their doors with liza

commercial competitor of the Aus

The wife of a well-known and very pop

day, which was much appreciated.
The gentleman came in rather late the

Toward morning the good wife became
alarmed by unusual noises, and immediate
" visions of plumber and violence disturbed
her Imagination. She shook her spouse

snore, and turned over. She shook him

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of its
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
ther fact that it is capable of producing
?. great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of this
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh spe-
ciaIty. OF course great deal of good
Is accomplished in this way, but as
yet comparatively small number of
