ties. Some breeds are more prolific than others, and by selecting sovs from a breed that farrow large lit ters, fewer sows are required to raise pigs. l prefer the Chester White, as they almost invariably farrow large filters, and they are good milllers, so they give the pigs a good start, and by keeping the pigs growing they will produce as much pork at an early age as any other, if not more. Some claim that the Chester Whites are tenderer than the black breeds, but l can not see but that they as hardy as any other hogs. I have never had any trouble with their being tender skinned.
 1 believe in full bloods, but if grade hogs are to be raised they should always be bred to a full blood male. This will keep the herd uniform and produce a much better appearance than a herd of hogs of all sizes and colors. There will be fewer runts among full bIOods and grades than there will be among mongrels where the blood of three or four breeds is indiscriminately mixed. The sows should have ration during the win ter months of good nutritious nature, such as bran, oats and middlings. They should also have a moderate ra- tion of some succulant food, such as articholles or turnips. l find arti- cholles to be one of the best of hog feeds. They are richer in protein than most other root crops, and are relished by the hogs better than any thing else I have ever tried. When only the best breeds of hogs are found on our farms, and only as many of these as can be kept grow ing rapidly from farrowing to slaugh- tering time, the average cost of the production of pork will be greatly re- duced.-A. J. L., in Epitomist.

These things have yielded you their best flavor; let them carry to others friendships rich aroma. Pass them on!-Suc- cess.

 Max Eger's face changed. Felicia looked down quickly and laid her hand caressingly on one little crea- ture in the basket. II might have known you could not harm thing so helpless and white and little,' she said.
 Prof. Eger suddenly placed his hand over hers and gathered hand and kit ten in a close grasp.

 Felicia tried to slip her hand away, but he held it tightly in his. It rest ed there; it trembled there. The kit ten squirmed uneasily; he could not understand his position in this mat ter. No wonder; he was still blind

NEXT YEARS HOG CROP.
The Most Profitable POrI1er is Far rOwed Early In the Spring
 and Kept Growing.

The most profitable porker is far rowed early in the spring, and kept growing fast during the spring and summer, and fattened the next fall. Hogs of any of the leading breeds can be made to dress from 200 to 250 pounds at eight months old, and by having the pigs come early in the spring they make good killing hogs without having to winter anything but breeding stock. The sows should be bred from latter part of October to middle of December, according to locality. For the southern and south western states, they may be bred in October, but for the north they should be bred so as to farrow early in April. Sows bred in December will farrow about a week earlier in April than the date of breeding. The period of gestation is little less than four months.
 As to which breed should be se- lected, the hog raiser may be to a considerable degree directed by his fancy, as all of the improved breeds are good, and for the feed consumed there is little difference in any of them as to the prok-producing quail

tifed. Why should he consult her? The string was knotted, and dignified Prof. Eger was soon on his knees at his task. Now Felicia was distinctly amused. He was beside her on the rug before the fire, and as she looked down she could see where the damp ness had curled his hair into soft rings on his neck and on his temples. How mother would have loved to run her fingers through the tumbled locks! Felicia conquered the temptation.
 "You like cats?''
 The question was abrupt. Felicia started guiltily. Did he know?
 q adore them" The tone was de- liant.
 "Then you will understand why this appealed to me- And he held up his purchase for inspection. It was a wicker basket, thicllly padded and lined exquisitely with blue satin, ruff aes of white lace and dainty ribbon bows.
 For cat! Then he did not mean to Felicia almost groaned.
 "You are surprised, nich wahr, that I should like cat so well. This cat was my mothers, and I have just received her. I wish to make her and her wee family comfortable, and when I saw this in window I was delighted It must have been made specially for little kittens; see, so soft and downy."
 "For kittens," Felicia smiled to herself. It was a baby basket.
 How she had wronged him. Her action seemed utterly ineXcusable now. He would be angry with her for supposing him capable of such heinous crime, and now that he had begun to treat her as she longed to have him she could not endure the idea of coldness from him. Now he was gathering up his bundles and pre-, pairing to go up the stairs, and she leaned her head on her hand and did not say a word. She nodded good night to him, and then looked down into the fire. She knew he would come down again. And he did, anX- iously and hurriedly, peering into the dark corners of the landing.
 She watched him nervously until she caught his eye.
 You are looking for your kittens ?" she asked.
 'Yes; why"
 "You'll not find them here."

licia had never noted before what a boyish ring his laugh had.
 "l do feel like old Kris Kringle to- night" he said, laying down the bun dies that had suggested the likeness and approaching the open fireplace. where Felicia stood warming her numb ringers. All l need are the sleigh. reindeer and the ability to get down chimneys neatly to make me start out on my rounds"
 Felicia was amazed. Was this jolly, animated boy really the petrifed Pro lessor? Here was man who consid- cred Christ myth, and who conse- quently could not logically believe in celebrating Christmas, now loaded down with packages that bore an un- miStakable holiday air, and seemingly entering into the spirit of Christmas with the enthusiasm of a boy. More over, he had steadily avoided her for the past two months-ever since-since that night-and here he was chatting to her as if there had never been an Interruption of their old tete-a-tetes before the hall fire. She felt pretty sure that this time he would be more careful about expressing his disappro- val of journalism for women. At any rate, she would let sleeping dogs lie. Then she remembered the cats.
 eff you haven't the reindeer and sleigh, at any rate you shall find slip ping down chimneys much easier than the real Santa" she said, hurriedly, sinking into a chair. You haven't his horizontal development, you know"
 That's so, I haven't" He glanced down at his rather slender figure and laughed again-a warm, happy laugh. Then his eyes fell upon his bundles, and he sobered.
 Miss Fay, I wish to consult with you" A fresh surprise. "You see, there is only one lady, one grown-up lady, in the world whom I would dare present with a Christmas gift'-Fe- licia felt ble-"and I have some doubt of the propriety of this"

HERE AND THERE.

It is cheaper to feed one COW for given amount of milk than to feed two. It is less labor also to milk a given amount (which may be four, five or six gallons) from one COW than from two.
 Age may improve wine, but not eggs. Cold storage eggs may be@bet- ter than none, but they are not near- ly so good as some. An egg is never better than the next day after it is laid.
 When fowls are marketed, it is well to remember that clean shanks and feet add greatly to their atract- iveness in the eyes of discriminating consumers, always excepting the res taurants. For them, anything goes.
 England began breeding fine stock first, hence got a start of this country; but we have been apt put pills, and now surpass any other coun- try in the numbers, and equal any in quality of fine animals.
 As feed is scarce in many places, it will be profitable to consider that cover takes the place of much corn; that well-housed animals need less food than those exposed to the weather. Good stables, etc., are money-sayers.
 Those hog men who have been selling their breeding stock because feed is scarce, are doing the best thing possible for the men who are doing otherwise. Hogs ale going up in price before long, and a greater scarcity next year mean, yet higher prices.

About NIisfts,

Some men take to farming as ducks take to water, because their instincts so direct them. Other men take to commerce for similar reason. A duck on the Staked Plain is not more out of the place than the man who is round trying to fit himself into square hole-the ''natural-born" farm CT taking up traffic, or the man whose tastes and talents fit him only to stand behind a counter quitting the store to turn up the soil. All men can not be farmers, for merchants and lawyers and doctors and teach CTS, and many others, are necessary. Though not so absolutely necessary as farmers, yet the character of the age we live in demands that all these positions be filled by men specially qualified, each of his own field of la Dor. When men make no mistake in selecting an avocation, everything goes smoothly, satisfactorily and without friction. Yhe trouble is, and it is a serious one, too, Shat we have so many men who have nc ss lon- strated fitness for any position. When dogs may be utilized by the sausage-malxers and worm-out cart horses turn up again as canned beef,'' we must conclude that noth-l ing is created without a purpose, though some men pass through life without finding a hole they will fit into. There are men born and raised on a farm, who are as much out of place as saint in purgatory; and what makes the matter worse is, they have never learned the fact. That is why there is so great a difference be- tween the highest crop yields and the general average-why some make 12 bushels of corn per acre and others 75 bushels or more. Why some farul- CTS never get their financial noses off the grindstone of debt, while others, with no better natural advantages" are happy, prosperous and independ- ent. There are many men engaged in alleged farming who ought to be else where doing otherwise.-TeXas Farra and Ranch.

 'Will you get the basket?" she suggested.
 He brought it to her in her sitting room and waited while she put the kittens into it. Felicia felt very small and mean. She almost wished that she were blind like the kittens, that she might not see how dark and angry his eyes had grown.
 ''You don't look much like a cheer ful Santa Claus now," she said, try ing to make her tone light, but her lips and hands were trembling.

SETBACK IN PRICES
The Most Violent Since Present Phase Of

Advances from 3A to SIS had,result-

stocks, st. Paul being particularly
bouyant.
When the preliminary figures of to-
morrow's bank statement came upon
the market, these stocks were among
those most actually affected by the
selling. Enormous blocks were un
loaded on the decline at successive
drops of n to / point through many

The bears were so eager to take pro-

their demand to cover caused rallies
among these stocks from 2 to 434
points, but the rallies were not we'll
held and prices went off again in some
cases to the lowest. The closing was

For some years the United States
has been the only nation that allowed
the plans of it's warships to be publish
ed. Naval officers have long criticised
this policy because it placed Knowl-
edge in the possession of other nations
which they did not allow us to get re-
garding thir naval plans. There is
now to be change of policy. The
Naval Board of Construction has
adopted a resolution forbidding it's in
dlvidual members discussing with
newspaper men any plans that have
been adopted or are under considera-
tion by the board. The general public
will lose nothing by this, as the plans
are not interesting to the general read
er, who understands little more after
reading about them than before; but
the naval experts of other nations
will lose some valuable pointers.
