reduced 80 per cent during the next five
or six years on account of veterans
deaths. This will amount to $40 200, 900

And the soldiers march away
To the slow drumbeat of Time.
And the flies are soft, and the bugles

\ requiem sublime:
With the flag wrapped round about
The flag they kept on high
And a memory Of the battle shout,
And a war glcam in the eye.
But the time has NOT yet come,
And the moment is not yet
When with intricately added sum
The land has paid its debt.
For the land they helped to save,
With Il last and long embrace
WIN receive each form to an honored
grave.
To an honored resting place.
When they sleep that last long sleep,
If there comes to them dream
1t will be that we shall forever keep
Their glory in full CLEAN.
As the soldiers march away
AS the ranks show gaps, and wane--
There shall he no one to arise and say
That the purse win show it's gain.
But fhe land will count it's loss
And the figures shah bc great.
And the sum OF it shall reach across
The land from State to State

When wc carve the final name

ERaaiinc Hogs for Bacon.

The demand for bacon hogs, a streak
of lean and streak Of fat, is increas-
ing yearly. Consumers are less in
cllned than ever to eat fat bacon and
their demands must be met if one de-
sres to make the maximum of profit
in hog raising. True, the demand for
heavy hogs is great and will continue,
but such animals do not bring the
good prices that are had for the bacon
hog. Little has been heard of the
Tamworth, the ideal bacon bog, Of
late and mainly because breed 4rs i,ave
found that the bacon hog is more a
matter of proper feeding than of breed.
The Tamworths seem peculiarly suit
ed to feeding for bacon at the lowest
cost, though any breed can be properly
fed and at comparatively small cost.
For the growing pigs ration of
two-thirds oats and One-third corn
gives good results. Bran combined
with skim milk or whey with ground
peas is a good ration for older hogs,
the milk to be increased as the fat
tening period is begun. Probably the
ideal ration for the bacon hog after
it is half grown is corn-meal. oats, and
barley mixed with skim milk. This
furnishes the desired streak Of lean
and streak of fat in the bacon and
gives US an animal of medium weight
which will bring a good price ON the
market

one of the best used. 1t has the merit
of being cheap and decidedly effectual.
AS will be noticed from the drawing,
the posts are sunk in the ground two
feet or more, and the ends set into a
heavy sill. This is best done by norris
ing the sill. Both posts and sill should
be well covered with tar to prevent
rapid decay On this sill is then built
a wall of stones to within eight inches
