POETIC JUSTICE.

On Thursday of this week one Frank
lin j. Moses. former Governor oil
South Carolina was sentenced by
Massachusetts, court to serve a term
fin prison for stealing an oyercoat.
A day of two earlier the Circuit
Court In Toledo affirmed Judgment
against the estate of the late Ruth
erford Il. Hayes for damages cnused
by a vicious dog.
This man Moses was instrumental,
we believe, in turning the electoral
vote of South Carolina over to Hayes
in 1875.
We do not remember whether tht
dog referred to wassa yellow one OF
not; our impression is that 1t was.
Who denies that there is such thing
as poetic Justice?

THE MAGIC or THE SMILE.

When the gentle words so easy,
And the kindly moods so sweet,
why not make the dull day brighter,
For the folk you chance to meetl
Why not cen though troubles thicken,
Face the trial, dare the worst,
With look 80 brave and buoyant,
That you rout II from the first?
In the world through which we're
passing,
We may make the feeble strong,
We may cheer the lonesome pathway,
with the gladness Of song.
We may vanquish fiends aud gobllns
If the fight we deem worth while
BY the valiant front of patience,
And the magic of II smile.

THE NYARD IN SUMNER,

view. Enough poultry wire to
divide the yard will cost little.
After the division one side should
be sown to seed that will produce
forage. One of the best things to
sow we have found to be lettuce.
The fowls eat this 'greedily. 1t
should not be used for pasturage
until they are we'll rooted and es.
tablished. Another thing that
should be sown is rape. A pound
of seed will go long way. 1t is
not too late to plant IN midsum-
mer. Itgrows rapidly and soon
reaches the height of a foot or
more, when the fowls may be
turned upon it. They will strip
it of it's tenderest portions, but
will leave the stemsan6 midueins.
AS soon as the fowls are taken
off this pasturage the midveins
will at once begin to send out
new leaves and soon the plant IS
again in full foliage. The. writer

age, and the fowls eat it rapidly.
Some feed grass in summer time
but we find that hens do not take
much interest in eating anything
that has been thus prepared.
They prefer to have their green
forage fastened down sothey can
pull it to pieces for themselves.
It is, therefore, better to give
them green pasturagein the form
of growing crops than to give
them green stuff cut up.

to time depending on the demand
for lard and so on. When lard is
low in price the 200 Id. hog may
be in faver, while in short tim
the 400 Id. hog will be topping
the market. Genel ally speaking,
however, the hog weighing from
$50 to 325 lbs will be found the
most profitable to handle. Up to
this weight grains can be made
more economically than at heav-
Ter weig hts, point which every
feeder must consider.
Quality and Condition.-Oual-
ity is indicated by the hair, bone
and nature OF the flesh. The
hair should be fine, straight, thick
and lie close tothe body. Coarse,
wiry, swirly hair is not desired
as it is usually associated with
coarseness of frame and undesir-
able feeding qualities. The bone
should be medium fine, enough
to carry the body is all that is de-
sired. Coarseness of bone IS
Disseminated against by butch
ers; it is an indication of a ten
dency to dress out large per-
centage OF offal. The flesh
should be free from Jumps or
wrinkles both of which are.very
undesirable. The indication of
good condition are a deep even
covering of firm flesh, especially
over the back lion, hamsand sides
as they are the regions where
the valuable cuts are always
found.
Head.-A snort broad head es-
pecially bread between the eyes
and the ears is usually associated
with the width and compactness
of the body throughout and IS an
indication of an aptitude to fatten
readily. A snout of medium
lenth IS desirable.
Eyes.-The eyes should be
clear, large, wide apart aud free
from wrinkles or folds OF fatwhich
often cause blindness,
Ears.-A small fine ear indi-
Gates refinement, throughout,
thus is desirable. The carriage
of the ear will depend upon the
parentage of the hog, being erect
in the Berkshire half dropping in
the Poland China and almost
wholly dropping in the Duroc
Jersey and mostofthelarge white
hogs.
Jowl.-A broad, neat, smooth,
firm jowl IS desirable. Flabbi
ness of jowl due toexcess offat in
this region is very objectional.
Neck The neck should be
short, thick and deep. 1t should
blend smoothly into the shoulder
vein and should without any de-.
preston.
Shoulder and Shoulder vein.-
The shoulder vein is that portion
Just in front of the shoulder
where the neck joins the shout.
der. Fullness in this part is
very desirable as it usually re-
suits in a smoothly covered wide
shoulder. The shoulder should
be wide, deep and compact on
top. Prominent shoulder blades
and slackness between them
areobiectionable.
Front Legs and Feet.-The
legs should be short, straight
and strong aud squarely paced
under the body, The pa ferns
must be short, straight and
strong and the hog should stand
we'll up on his toes. Many hogs
are "knock kneed," that is the
knees come too close together.
This is very Objectionable in any
class of hogs but more especially
in young animals as 1t gets worse
with age. Too much stress can
not be laid upon the set and
strength of the legs.
Chest.-This is a point to
which the butcher pays little or
no attention, but 1t is of great
