Ar ABLE LEADER.

There seems to be a real Demo-
cratic party i'll Congress again, es-
pccialy in the lower house. 1t ap-
pears certain that the Democrats have
a real leader in John Sharpe Williams,
4 leader who can find something to do
besides merely opposing what Repub-
licans propose. The attitude OF the
Democrats on the Cuban reciprocity
treaty is in sharp contrast to their at
tituGc on the same subject in the last
Congress. They could doubtless with
the aid OF Republican congressman
from beet"sugar states have prevented
the adoption OF the measure, but by
so doing they would have placed
themselves i'll the position OF opposing
tariff reform for which the party has
SO long stood. 1t is true that the
Cuban measure does not go nearly as
far as most Democrats wish for, but
it is a step i'll the right direction, and
the Democrats in Congress have
shown their good faith in supporting
the measure. Evidently the policy of
merely opposing has been brushed
aside by Mr.. Williams. The attention
OF the whole country has been attract
ed by the skill and sagacity with which
he and his lieutenants have taken tip
the work OF uniting and leading the
minority in Congress. The farcical
position of Congress at the present
time must be attributed entirely to the
Republicans. The extra session was
called for the express purpose of dis
posing of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.

MAKING CHEAP PORK.
It Can BE Done.by Maintaininga Has6
Degree of Health and VigoS
from the Start.

The experiments Of our agricul-
tural colleges and experiment. sta-
tions in feeding for lean meat and
strong bone are of inestimable value
to the farmers of America. They
show the possibilities and limitations
of corn, supplemented with other
feeds, which can be, to q large ex-
tent, produced on every farm, in the
way of roots. pumpkins, etc. In the
corn belt that cereal will always be
our best and main ration for fatten-
ing swine; but grow The pigs largely
on clover, grass, milk. roots and mill
feed. Pork produced in this way is
of better quality, and is produced at
less risk than where the animal Is
both grown and fattened on corn
exclusively. The change from feed
ing for growth to feeding for hesh
should be so gradual that neither
the feeder nor the pig could tell just
where the grass and Stops we're LETT
off and the full feeding OF corn be-
gan.
Under all circumstances our hogs
need variety OF food to Keep up
keen appetite and keep them In =
healthy and thrifty condition, and
if our object in feeding is to induce
them to eat as much as possible,
nothing is SO calculated to stimulate
the appetite as variety OF feed.
Do not try to raise hogs unless you
like them. If you enjoy seeing them
eat and grow and get fat, you will
be quick to notice how things are
progressing, to detect flaw in your
management and to improve your
ways, and you will be successful. II.
on the other hand, you despise a hog
and simply feed it for the money
you hope to get out of it. then l do
not know whether you will succeed
or not.-Fred H. Rankin, in Farmers

Basl. Of Cool Pasturage.

The basis for every good permanent
pasture is Kentucky blue grass. Many
sections in the cen: ral west will quick
" produce blue grass sod il left nn-
cultivated. It is not. howeveEegener-
ally profitable on high priced land to
depend on this method for securing a
permanent pasture. BY this practice
many bare spots will remain for sew
eral years which are not only objection
able because they materially diminish
the yield. but also because they give
opportunity for noxious weeds to grow.
It is far better, therefore, to sow blue
grass seed at the rate of about "a
pounds per acre on perfectly prepared
land A dressing Of barnyard manure
will insure good Sc. of grass If other
conditions are favorable.

LESSON FROM NATURE.

part of our states, rich and fertile.
How did she do it? II we study nature
and note how she is working to main
tain the richness of the lapd and how
she has been doing to build up the soil,
then, possibly we can, if we will, stop
this waste. For thousands Of years
where timber has grown on the land,
the annual crop of leaves has been de-
posted on the ground, and the trunks
and branches Of the trees, one after
another, have fallen on the ground and
decayed, becoming vegetable mold.
Occasionally, tree would turn up by
the roots. thus bringing up portion
of the subsoil and setting it on edge so
that the elements-the air, sun, frost
and rain-could act on it, and make
soluble and available the plant food
contained in it. As this subsoil.
brought up by the overturning trees,
is crumbled and leveled down through
the processes of nature, it buries up
large amount of the decaying leaves
and wood that have fallen on the
ground, and in this way the land is
.plowed and cultivated, sometimes very
deeply. and the decaying vegetable
matter thoroughly mixed in SO that
the soil is filed with humus. Humus is
not only plant food, but it enables the
soil to hold much mere water than II
would without the humus. The roots of
the trees and shrubs. and some plants
that CROWN the woods, send their roots
down deep in the earth, thus disin-
tegrating the soil and letting air into
1t. and when these roots die, as they
will in time, they add more humus to
the sofl.-C. P. Goodrich, in Farmers

The keynote Of the best fashions, in
spite of the intricacies of beautiful
hand-work and glorious colors and
material, is simplicity-costly simple
ity, if you like, but still simplicity.
Great discretion is shown in the matter
of trimmings. The worst of trim
ings is that once they are used the I'M
initiated are apt to overdo them.
The chief difficulty in making pele-
rine is the fitting on the shoulders and
the amateur must guard against max

sloping shoulder look ridiculous. Our
heavy, three-quarter wraps were cut
to accentuate the sloping shoulder and
the addition of the collar or overcape
was distinct Improvement.

handsome dotted ones in variety Of

velvet or chenille, shose having the
spot of velvet being especially new.

with a large berry. From the tests
conducted throughout the state by the

to say that macaroni wheats yield bet
