INSTITUTE ECHOES.
Swine: Breeding and Feeding.

l
Mr.. Forest Henry, Olmstead Coun
ty, Minnesota.
Raising hogs successfully depends
largely upon the interest the farmer
takes in his business. If the ordina
ry careless methods are followed, -four
years out of five he Will make a fail,
ure at it, when considered from the
standpoint of economy.
Economy of production important.
Many hogs are put upon the market
each year which have cost their own
ers more than their sale price. No
matter how fine the animal may be,
as a specimen of tho hog, if more has
oeen put in him than can be got out
OF him, the business is not a success,
Economy of production is, then, q
most important law in the rearing of
swine. This does not mean limiting
the animal in his ration, but the use
of foods produced cheaplY.
Healthy animal for q good begin
ning.- second law in successful
swine raising is to have healthy ami
mails. The healthy hog is growing
hog, and the quicker he grows if not
ovarcrowed-the better.
Sufficient exercise. Exercise is as
essential to the proper developer mt
of hog as of human being. The
limited quarters of the average hog
pen and yard are not sufficient; he.
should have the run of pasture, not
only for apart Of the time hut the en-
tire year.
Attention to breeding. "A third law
is to breed from mature stock. When
this becomes improbable owing to
the advanced age of the animal, see
to it thaC upon one side or the other
this maturity exists. Inbreeding and
breeding from immature stock are
dangerous because it lessons the vita
lity, weakens the system, tends to i'm
pairIthe health and is almost q sure
forerunner of disease. These are

Mr.. Stone, when asked for an inter.
view on the matter of the electric
light franchise, stated that he could
make much different statement OF
facts THAI that given by the council,
but that on account of other matters
of difference between him and the
council, he preferred not to discus
in the newspapers this and other
matters in dispute between himself
and the council until the matter now
in the court was adjudicated.

some of the general principles under
lying successful hog-raising. Nov
for a few practical suggestions:
Do not go into the hog-raising, bui
grow into it. A good pasture is az
essential to the cheap production OF
pork, as it is Of milk. June and nam
moth clover, and June-grass make an
excellent pasture. Small fields of
rye, barley or rape will give variety of
cheap food. Have the litters come
in the spring after the weather is set
tied, SO that the young pigs can get
out on the ground at once. My own
practice is to have them come in the
latter part Of April or first of May;
and plan to have them all come as
near the same time as possible. Give
the brood SOW the run Of the barn.
yard during the winter months, where
she can get needed exercise by root3
ing over the manure, butdo not allow
the horses in the yard at the same
time. She should have very little corn
during pregnancy; but should have
plenty of food rich in bone and mus
Gle formation such as are hay, clover,
oats and wheat bran. Overfeeding
the mother and close confinement of
the litter are very injurious. An open
feeding floor protected from the winds
having wide gate to prevent crowd
ing, is the best waylto feed the larger
animals, While / favor quick growth,
/ would condemn the cramming pro-
cess as both Wasteful and dangerous.
Pumpkins are very good food for |
swine as they promote growth, aid
digestion and free the animals from |
intestinal worms. Grow them by
themselves and give the hogs all !!
they will eat, feeding them raw.
A word as to cholera: An ounce of |
prevention is worth many pounds Of |
cure. ! closely follow several rules,
namely: lst, Shoot all crows, doves
or stray dogs that come upon the
place, as it can be conclusiyelY shown
that the contagion has been carried
from place to place in this way. End |

WHEAT FOR A WEEK.
Weekly narket Letter from Edwards,
Wood & Co.

| The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.
Grain Commission Merchants S
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis
80 Board of Trade, Duluth.
Feb. 13-For two weeks May
wheat has been asleep and dreaming
that it was worth between "a and Is
cents per bu., but to-day it walked up
and advanced ] cents to 75a closing
at 75ss-. It has stubbornly refused to
go below "a, but has been held near
that point by the weakness of corn
and oats. In the South and South
west where the greatest shortages
have been, winter is nearly over and
grass only a month away and those
markets which have been the best
fol coarse grains are glutted with
them and prices are declining. The
advance to-day was helped by the
advance of 8 to ! in Liverpool, but
the chief influence we think is the
growing belief that the amount in
farmers hands has been over estimat-
ed, and that receipts will continue
small. The United States being a
''Favored Nation" in the German
tariff laws. our wheat can go into
Germany cheaper than can Canadian
wheat and all wheat exports to Ger
many from America must certify
United States production. This is
very good bull argument for our
wheat and -four is of a better quality
than the Canadian, and the effect Of
the law is to enable us to sell better
article fer smaller price than can
our Canad; an competitors.

ELECTRIC LIGHT FRANCHISE,
Peculiar Muddle stralghtened Out by
Council this Week.

Council this Week.
The council this week granted a
new electric light franchise to w. p,
Fowler. although it was supposed
that this new franchise had been
granted last summer. A member OF
the council, in speaking of the matter,
said -:
1T appeared that the village coun-
ci., at their last regular meeting Fri
day evening, came up against the
real thing in the shape OF. the re-
neWed electric franchise of brother
Fowler. It appears that last July,
the council granted Mr.. Fowler five
year extention Of his franchise, to
take effect from and after the 1lth,
day of February to supersede the old
one the same to be, by mu. ual under
standing, substantially as the one
then in force and Village Attorney r.
A. Stone was instructed to draw up a
contract in accordance with such un.
derstanding.
"That thereafter the new contract
was presented to the council for their
approval by Mr.. Stone who read the
same in their presence and the fol-
lowing paragraph ''and said village
agrees to pay said first party for any
additional material he may furnish
in placing new lights or repairing
any now in use" being objected to,
the attorney was then and there
ordered by the council to strike the
same ou: Of said contract ana in fact
he did strike out of said objectional
paragraph the following "or repair
ing any now in use" but leaving the
other portion of the Objectionable
clause. The contract was presented
to the president and recorder by the
village attorney with a request that
they we're acting in accordance with
the previous instructions of the
council and advise of their attorney
signed the same some time in the
month of July last. At the meet
ing of the Council IS above stated
Mr.. Fowler presented bill of
eighty odd dollars for extending his
system Of electric lights, and Of
course there was wild and wearied
too. numerous to mention |
the city dads, the bill was
layed over quietly but firmly and up
on Monday brother Fowler was
asked to 'come over to little meet
ingr, He came and was somewhat |
to learn that the council |
was not aware of the exact condition
Of things, he admitted that Mr.. Stone
was his attorney and supposed that
he drew the contract in his favor and
also had formed the impression that
,he council were able to take care of
heir interest even though their attor-
hey was drawing the contract in his
avor. After some slight arguments
bro and con, it was finally mutually
understood and agreed between Mr..
Fowler and the council that new
contract could be issued eliminating
he objectional features and the pre-
'ious one be abrogated. The coun-
Ill attach no blame to Mr.. Fowler
,ut they all express their opinion
hat their attorney let him get up on
lis blind side"

Several of our neighbor farmers
made good use of the fine weather
last week digging and baking
their sweet potatoes. There are a
good many people who wait until
the frost kills the. vines before
they dig their potatoes which is a
great mistake. Potatoes are like
everything else, when they get
ripe they ought to be taken up
and put away. After the frost
kills the vines the effect of the
frost will go down into the pota-
toe and it is likely to rot.

Lena Brown, of Olive Springs,
who has been sick for several
