Food for Younu Pigs.

Shorts and skim milk is the ideal
food for young pigs, Where milk Is
not to be had, shorts moistened with
kitchen Stops is good. In a months
time mixture of oats and ground
barley may be added. AS the pigs
grow older whole peas stepped for
twenty-four hours, may be fed. Roots
in winter and clover pasture in sum-
mer will in all cases reduce the cost
OF production. Well-cured clover hay
may be given in small quantities in
winter, and will be relished and util-
lied to good advantage. Charcoal or
hardwood ashes and salt should be
within reach at all times. Prof. Henry
gives the result of an experiment with
bone meal fed with corn. He found
that % per cent less grain was re.
Quired to make 200 pounds Of pork
hardwood ashes and salt had nearly
the same effect. We learn from this
that by use Of this condiment the cost
is reduced by nearly one cent pound

Farms in Cuba.

There were in 1899 60,711 farms in
Cuba, having an average size of 143
acres and an average cultivated area
per farm of thirteen acres. Only 10
per cent of the farm area and only
3 per cent of the total area Of the
island was under cultivation. Matan-
zas and Havana provinces are the
most highly cultivated parts of the
island. OF the cultivated area, less
than so per cent was owned by it's
occupants, the rest being rented, and
IS per cent was occupied by whites,
as owners or renters, only II per
cent by colored, the remainder being
unknown. Measured by the areas
under cultivation, sugar cane occu-
pied ~ per cent Of the cultivated
lands; sweet potatoes, II per ce Mt:
tobacco, 9 per cent; bananas a little
less than 9 per cent, and other CROPS
in smaller proportions.

ITO the woman of ancient Israel not to
become a mother was regarded as
the greatest of earthly calamities.
To become mother-more especially the
mother of a strong, healthy boy-was the
height OF glory for the faithful woman of the
good old Bible days. Even now, when ma
ternlty IS not esteemed as of yore, the
mother of healthy children is an object of
admiration. and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors. As compared with ancient
peoples. the average American woman has
low appreciation of motherhood. There
are. however, a great many exceptions to
this statement.

B1ack111al Levied by Turkish Officials
Bareaced Extoron Pracdced by Governors Who Have the
Backing of the Palace Unfortunate Property
Owners Have No Means of Redress,

A correspondent writes from Beirut:
Those who watch events in Turkey
are familiar with the more brutal
methods of oppression and extortion,
but cannot always understand the
more polite methods of the corrupt
officials in the larger cities. The peo-
pie OF Beirut. Syria, have just been
. treated to an extortion of blackmail
that is worthy of being recorded.
Some two years ago the Governor,
Rashid Pasha, a. man whose father
and grandfather before him were all
favorites OF the Palace clique in Con-
stantinople and who has held his pres
ent post so long through the influence
of that personifcation of misrule, sue
ceeded in getting an imperial COM
mission to come down and make new
valuation of all the property in the
city. This commission set about and
did its business in the approved Turk
ish way. Those who approached the
members in the proper way and with
enough gold in their hands succeeded
in keeping the taxable value of their
PoooSooloAo d. lue Olu uSuIeS, willie
those who did not do so found the
values of their houses greatly in
creased. According to Turkish law,
when a man feels that he is being
rated too high, or higher than his
nearest neighbors, he can present a
petition asking for new survey of the
property in question and theoretically
obtain justice. AS a matter of fact
hundreds did file their protests against

Seeing that the new tax lists will be
issued after March 10 on the basis Of
the new valuation, the city began to
get nervous about the matter. Careful
inquiry concerning the fate of the
many petitions filed brought forth a
curt answer from the Vail that none OF
them would ever be heard of and that
all efforts to push them would be fruit
less. At the same time a way of re-.
lief was pointed out to all who wished
to avail themselves Of it. Whoever
wished his property valuation to 60
back to the old figure could have it
so at once by paying to the Vail and
his associates three times the amount
OF the increase demanded. The time
being short and all hope of righteous
redress being denied, the people have
made haste to avail themselves of
this door of escape and the unholy
business is at this moment in full
blast. We know one man, acting for
himself and a few of his family, who

never venture to do such barefaced

OF course, you want to be nice and

Dear Pierrepont: When I saw you
start off yesterday I was just a little
uneasy; for you looked so blamed i'm
portant and chesty that am inclined
to think you will tell the first custom
er who says he doesn't like our sau-
sage that he knows what he can do
about it. Repartee makes reading
lively, but business dull. And what
the house particularly needs is more
orders.
Sausage is the one subject of all
others that fellow in the packing
business ought to treat solemnly.
Half the people in the world take a
joke seriously from the start, and the
other half if you repeat it often
enough. Only last week the head Of
our sausage department started to
put out tin-tag brand of frankfurts,
but l made him take it off the mar
ket quicker than lightning, because
l knew that the first fool who saw the
tin-tag would ask if that was the IL
ccnse. And, though people would
grin a little at first, they'd begin to
look serious after a while; and when
ever the butcher tried to sell them
our brand they'd imagine they heard
the bark, and ask for that real coun-
try sausage" at twice as much a
pound.

rigging attached, and the bowsprit, has
sent the bow OF the cup defender Re-

the main boom is OH board and the boat
attains her desired balance. she WIN still

The craft certainly has n lower free

against the Unon Railroad company, which
was to have been tried today before
Judge Wilbur and jury, was continued
until tomorrow morning
The case is one In which the plaintiff
was injured while boarding a car Of
the defendant company on Westminster
street near Olneyville square March 22,
1902, being thrown. as she claims. by the
premature starting OF the car while her
footing was insecure. Her injuries were
claimed to be very severe and she claims
$4,000 damages.
The plaintiff was ready for trial but
the defendants counsel Henry w. Hayes
stated that an important witness who was
to testify strongly regarding the condi-
tion OF the woman which would bear
strongly on the assessment Of damages
was unable to be present on account of
illness. She had palpitation OF the heart
he said, and furnished n physicians GER
tihcate. The court granted today in
which to secure the affidavits of the wit
ness and stated the case would be con-
tinued until tomorrow,
Alfred S. Johnson and John Beagan
are the counsel for the plaintiff and
Henry w. Hayes for the defendant.
As this was the only case ready for
trial the court room In the common pleas
division was dark for the rest OF the day.
