Bacon Breeds of Hogs.

several years ago considerable was
being written about the Tamworths as
the only breed that would make good
bacon hogs. 1t Is doubtless true that
TINS particular strain is best suited for
the purpose, hut. ON the other hand. it
Is a question If it ever paid any farm
er to raise them exclusively. True,
there are specialists who have made
money in catering to the fancy bacon
market, but they found 1t profitable
only after long years of experimenting
and fully learning the secret of Feed
Ing to produce certain results. With
the average farmer, who raises what
pork he needs for home consumption
and perhaps a dozen head besides 1t is
doubtful If 1t pays him to experiment
much with breeds, beyond getting some
strain that will give him the best re-
turns In weight at the smallest expense
for feed. If one Is raising swine with
an idea Of selling the progeny when
young to other farmers. then consid-
cradle care should be taken to secure a
breed for which there is demand, and
then to breed the animals on the plan
that will give strong, healthy and pure
bred young, and In this way work up Il
reputation. 1t must be admitted, how.

How to Conduct n stock Sale.

How to Conduct Stock Sale.
A brisk demand for well-bred stock
of all kinds, particularly of the beef
breeds, has encouraged the sale of
such stock by public auction, the prices
being quite satisfactory. These live
stock sales first became popular III the
West, but are now fairly common ev.
erywhere In the stockgrowing sec
lions. A cattle dealer of long expert
ence lays great stress on preparing ami
mails especially for the sale. Even IL
an animal is well bred. has good out
line and other requirements, IL its con-
dltion Is unsatisfactory in any way, its
good qualities will be overlooked. The
cattle must be fed into good flesh and
must be well groomed and thoroughly
cleaned. This expert believes in judi
cious advertising as q means of prolnot-
ing n sale. He advises that the sale be
held under cover, in order to be prepar-
ed for any kind of weather. The con-
strucuon of temporary sheds of Il few
boards and props will make the buyers
comfortable. Before the sale begins,
coffee and sandwiches. or food of u sim
liar kind. are passed around. Well
fed people make lively buyers. Finally
provide a good auctioneer, one who
knows all about stock and pedigrees
and how to describe them to the best
advantage. Good assistants Should be
provided to handle the animals in the
ring. The sale is carried on briskly;
no unnecessary pauses. These sugges-
tons apply to general public sales of
any kind.-AmerIcan Cultivator.

Reciprocity Treaties.

In making treaties with foreign
countries, the administration evidently
does not understand the conditions that
exist about the commercial matters
that the treaties are drawn up to cover.
The latest treaty to receive black
eye is that concluded by the State De-
partment with Newfoundland, which
those Interested in the fishing industry
of the New England coast claim is
disastrous to their interests. The oppo-
sition of some Senators to the treaty is
so decided that it will, like the French
treaty and others, be either laid aside
or, If brought to a vote, will undoubted-
ly be defeated These treaties are all
supposed TO be made by the rule of
reciprocity: that is, some one or some
interest must suffer to open our mar
kets to some foreign production. The
foreigner will not open his door unless
we will open our door to the same ex-
tent. Therefore reciprocity and protec-
ton do not work smoothly together
For If the door is opened by reciprocity,
even Il little bit, some protected in
dustry feels a draught, and at once pro-
tests that 1t will oe made sick and per-
ish if the door is not promptly closed.
Trying to amend the protective tariff
by the roundabout way of reciprocity
is proving an utter failure. or else the
Republican management of the State
Department is not equal to the occa-
sion. All of the important treaties that
have been arranged since the prohibi-
tive tariff was enacted have not been
enacted by the Senate, and there is no
probability that any of them will be.
The trusts will, In the future as in the
past. II they continue to manufacture
a surplus, be compelled to sell ut a fal
less price to the foreigner than the pro
tective tariff allows them to exact from

In answer to an inquiry rs to the
treatment of heaves, correspondent
of the National Stockman writes as
follows: ITO answer you in relation to
what you particularly wish to know, l
would have TO know the age of your
horse and manner of breathing, that
might locate the trouble which pro-
duces his irregular breathing. l will
say, however. that all forms of heaves
are incurable. The best that can be
done is to alleviate. In old chronic
cases of so-called bilious heaves the
first thing to do will be to regulate the
feeding by feeding hay very sparingly
and oats plentifully. Wet all hay with
lime water and give Fowlers solution
of arsenic in tablespoonful doses three
times per day. This is best given by
mixing with a half pint of water and
use to wet the grain feed. So-called
bronchial heaves can be relieved by
feeding as above recommended and CIV

AS shown In the illustration, the
structure consisted of four square
wooden towers, which stand about 2l5
feet high. Each one is cross braced
with steel wire rope, and all four are
connected with each other by diagonal
stays. Finally, to render the structure
still more rigid and wind-proof, stout
cables are run up over the tops of each
pair of towers on all sides, and secured
to anchorages in the earth.
From each of the four horizontal
bridges which connect the tops of the
towers nre suspended fifty copper ca
bles. The cables are composed of seven
strands. an eighth of an inch in diam
