Dewey's squadron then was. TO take

Wildes, however. in spite of the or
der from the navy department for him
to return home, declined TO give up his
ship to Captain Lamberton. on the
ground that war was about to begin
and he could not afford TO miss the
opportunity to take part in it,

return home. and the latter found a
way out OF hte difficulty by making
Lamberton his chief of STAFF and let

Mrs. coke's Statement.

Mrs. Henry c. Coke. one of the fore
most society women of Dallas, the
strongest defender that Mrs Roose-
yelt had in the meeting, made the fol-
lowing statement:
Il regret what happened today
do not consider that Mrs. Roosevelt
received fair play. don't believe she
knew really what she was doing in
the kindergarten matter; dont believe
she understood what was wanted, or
what was in contemplation as an en-
tertainment / hope the decision to
return the handkerchief will not be
carried out
1T seems as if was about the only
woman in the meeting who would
speak out in defense of Mrs. Roose-
welt. Those who criticised her in
the most severe manner were north
ern woman, led by Mrs. Sharp, her
self northern woman; in fact. prae-
tically ali the severe talk was from
northern women.
Mrs. Galloway, however, wrote the
letters to Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Roose-
velt She is a northern woman, but
was not at the meeting being sick at
home believe she would have de-
Tended Mrs. Roosevelt. I have lived
in Texas all my life nearly, and as a
southern woman wish Mrs Roose-
welt had been treated more graciously
today"

Feeding the Hogs.

Pork is the condensation of the food
eaten by the hog. To be wholesome
food, the hog must have been fed on
sound food. In and around all our
cities there are hog breeders who haul
from hotels and restaurants slops so
fcarfully putrid that stringent ordi-
nances must be adopted to regulate its
handling lest contagion be the result.
In some towns this stuff must be trans
planted at night. In others, air-tight
receptacles must be provided. Ere
quently hogs thus fed are declared
nuisances dangerous to public health
and are prohibited The carcases OF
such hogs are only fit for buzzard food,
and yet butchers serve them out to IN
nocent customers. The hogs may re-
main in apparent health, and may even
become fat, yet their flesh is danger
GUS food for man, for the flesh con-
tains the imprities of the putrid fe 'd
from which it was made.-Farm al 4

Au Unsettled Question,

The question whether two litters OF
pigs a year should be required OF
sow has never been definitely settled.
Eminent breeders occrIpy both sides OF
the question. The discussions on this
subject has been voluminous in the
northern and western states, and the
parties seem to be nearly equally di-
vided. In the southwest, and especial
ly in Texas, expert opinion seems to
favor a spring and fall litter. 1t may
be, and probably is fact that our
milder climate, and especially our
shorter winters favor the twO-litter
side of the controversy. At any rate
many of our most successful pork rails
ers say that if they had to confine
themselves to one litter they would &c
out of the hog business. They claim
that the more pigs they have the more
hogs they have to sell, and that fall
litters are almost as profitable as those
deposited in the spring.-Farm and
Ranch.

Feudalisn in Hungary.

. Uncomfortable as the anachronism
may seem to the western mind, the
agrarian system of Hungary has not yet
issued from the feudal form. The Hum
garian farmer of to-day is virtually
serf, bound to his master, the heredi-
tary owner of the soil which the peasant
tills, by the tangible tie of personal LA
bility. The Hungarian feudal lord OF
the d-of-the-century is entitled to
so days labor for each male adult who
dwells on his land. The seignior is at
liberty to demand this feudal contribu-
tion at whatever time may seem best
to him, with the frequent result that
the tenant farmer is employed in gath
ering his masters harvests while his
own crops are rotting after rainfall.
