THE ABUSED HOG.

The hog is often regarded as "A
filthy animal that does not need
any special attention until tatten.
ing time and then he is prnned
up III close rail pen without
any shelter. Many farmers
seem that the hog enjoys filth
and mud. Ii such persons would
carefully note the abits of hog,
they would sec that they do c>-
erything in their power to keep
themselves from filth when pen
ned up. The excrement is al
ways deposited IN the farthest
corner OF their pens and when il
gets muddy they root grea, hole :
in the ground to get pure fresh
earth and get away from filth.
1t is often the case that the hog
raiser docs not pay any attention
to these little thing, SO the hoy
IS left in his helpless condition
and expected to yield a profit to
his owner. 1t is no wonder that
such farmers declare that pork
raising don't pay. There is no
other farm animal that would
live under such circumstances.

Where Farming PAYS.

1t used to be possible to maxi
money on farms where no other
crop than cotton was planted, but
that was IN the days when the
staple commanded prices that are
now impossible. Under condl-
tons as they exist to-day an oc-
casional Cotton crop may be made
and marketed with profit. but
the loss resulting from the very
next seasons operations will in
all proba bility throw the balance
on the other side of the ledger.
The "all-cotton" faImers are get
ting poorer euesy year, but still
they are in evidence in this as in
every other section of the cotton
producing states. There are
hundreds of farmers of the other
cla~s mentioned who are get
tidg there with both feet" in the
race for prosperity and financial
independence, They are not neg
Letting cotton altogether, but
make it Of secondary Importance
among products OF the farm.
Their first concern is aIor food
crops for man and beast, out of
which is set aside a sufficient
quantity for the maintenance OF
the farm from years end TO
years end. The money that
comes in is Clear piout, and
doesn't have to be posted agaln>,
family groceries and interest ac
counts.-AlUanv Herald.

FILLING IN FEED.

A heavy concentrated feed
needs filler to obtain best re-
suits. The hogs show this in a
test with corn and cob meal over
over meal alone, and cut clover
in cooked food and grass with
grain all show the advantage OF
a filler or bulk. 1t overcomes
the compacting IN the stomach
which prevents the chemical on.
Grafton OF the gastric juices OF
the stomach en- the concentrated
iced. The filler or bulk teed
enables the fullassimilation of the
condensed grain ration. The
farmerw hogives the mostthought
to his methods of feeding as we'll
as the feed is the one who meets
with the greatest success.

Work Horses in Hot
Weather.

The work horses deserve bet
ter treatment during the hot
months when they are compelled
to sixteen hours a day. We be-
lieve that they suffer more from
lack of water to quench their
thirst than from any otheI cause.
In the cooler months of the year
the usual wanering three times
day is sufficient. In the sultry,
dry weather, when we are en-
gagged in harvesting, haymak1ng
and thrashing, the driver will
have recourse to the water Jug
much more frequently and it
stands to reason thpt the horses
would feel much better and do
their work with less misery were
ahey allowed water often. Horses
10 pasture will go to the tank and
drink every few hours, and if
their systems call for water wa
ter when they are idle how much
more do they crave it when work.
ing To give them a chance to
drink five or six times a day, if it
is convenient, would be a hamane
practice, and one that would en-
able them to do their work with
less effort and keep IN better con-
ditlon. If there is no water con-
venlent to the field, barrel haul
ed out to the field morning and
noon would involve but little labor
or loss OF time and would repay
the trouble one is put to in
doing so.

Woman. 49,

New York, Dec. 16.-Mrs. Mary Grant
Cramer, sister of General U. S. Grant,
who lives with her sister, Mrs. Virginia
Grant Corcoran at East Orange, N. j.,
says that the death of Mrs. Grant was

came to my bedside and placing her hand
on my shoulder, said impressively:
Mary, I have come to talk with you
and to say goodby because am not

Mrs. Cramer told her dream at the
breakfast table the next morning and to
her surprise a friend of the family, Mrs
Katherine Lawrence, who was visiting
them at the time, said that she, too,
had had a similar dream. Mrs. Lawrence
said that she dreamed that. She Mrs
Cramer and Mrs. Corbin stood in the por-

New York, and that there appeared to be
a large crowd Of persons outside, drawn
up in two lines waiting the arrival of a
cavalcade Of some Kind.

made of ten sections per mile to aid in
the construction of the Wisconsin Central

grant of 1856, and. upon the adjustment

ing, Washington
Washington, Dec. 16.-President Roose-
welt on Monday sent for Representative
Fred Stevens, of ST. Paul, who belongs to
the house military committee which is
considering the general staff bill for the
army This bill has been strongly recon-
mended by the president in his annual
message and by the secretary Of war in
his annual report. the secretary has
spent two days at the capitol recently
arguing in favor of the bill before the COM
mittee., The only general officer of the
army who opposes the legislation is Gen.
Miles, and Secretary Root, who wants to
be fair, suggests that the bill, if passed,
do not go into effect until after General
Miles retirement next year. The presi-
dent wanted to know whether Mr.. Stevens
was in favor Of the bill.
II am" was the reply, ..and shall do all
that can to secure it's passage
The president then set out with charac-
teristic emphasis his reasons for wanting
