FARMER AND PLANTER.
IMPROVEMENT OF SWINE.
Feeders Need to BE Educated In ehe
Handling of the Improved
Breeds of Swine.

In mixing with farmers at fairs this
fall such remarks as these were fro
quently heard: 81 want to improve
my hogs" / think / will cross my
hogs with swine breeds of larger and
coarser bone" 'Our hogs have been
improved until there is no vitality
left in them," and so on; it. is always
the hog that is at fault and never the
feeder.
While there may be some reason for
the remarks quoted, yet it should not
be forgotten that the breeding and
feeding of the last half century have
developed hog with better form
for the block, greater digestive ca
pacity and quicker maturing powers.
The intestine of the wild hog is nine
times the length of his body, that of
the razor back is 13 times, while in
the improved breeds the relation of
the two is about 21 to /. Virtually
equivalent to adding that many more
fues to the boiler, always fuel saw
er.
1t is natural that the new hog re-
quires more slillful feeding and care
than the old one, as the new boiler
requires more skillful firing than the
old one, but we submit that there is
nothing in the situation to warrant
the going back to the old type of hog
than to the old type of boiler. 1t is
much more, sensible, and will prove
vastly more profitable in the end to
educate feeders in the handling of
the new type than to teach that the
best method is to go back even a
step toward the old type.
There is nothing in the situation to
justify the demand for reversion of
a type of hog that for more than half
a century we have been industriously
striving to get away from. When
the new type is fed and handled as it
should be, and as it can be very easi-
ly, it is as prolific as was its progeni-
tor, has bone enough to carry it's in
creased weight, and vitality enough
to stand the strain of quicker matur-
ing. Retrogression of the hog should
not be the demand; but progression
of the feeder! And to this end all in
structors should work.-Farm, Stock

LANDOWNER AND RENTER.
The Long Versus the Short Term
Lease and the Advantages
of the Former.

I am 70 years of age, and have been
both renter and owner of land. The
greatest curse, according to my view
and experience, is the short-term
lease. If l were a large landowner |
would adopt this plan: I would not
rent or lease farm for less term
lease if the renter did his part. That
than five years, with the understand
ing that it would be continuous
lease if the renter cid his part. That
would give the renter encouragement
to do his best, for it would be to his
own as well as the landlords ad-
vantage to do his best. The renter
under this plan would see to it that
all the manure would be saved and
applied to the land; there would be
no waste of anything; the fences and
buildings would be looked after and
kept in good repair, and there would
be neither the slinning of the land
or landowner.
A Aperson with one eye can tell when
passing farm whether there is a
long-lease man on the farm or one
year man. When / pass farm where
the fences and buildings look like a
cyclone had struck them some years
ago, say to myself: "There is the
one-year-lease farm" When pass a
farm with all fences in good shape,
and the buildings shining with fresh
paint, machinery all housed, with fine
trees and rose bushes, lawn kept
moved smooth, and her an organ or
piano, then l say: "There is either
an up-to-date landlord or a long-lease
renter on this farm"
Some will say it would never do to
lease farm for SO long time; sup
pose the renter was poor farmer
and manager; just think what a loss
it would be. Just so; but there are
many good, young farmers who are
keeping a lookout for any and every
chance OF the kind of which 1 speak.
Before one of these chronic one-year
lessees could wake up and make up
his mind about tackling a five-year
lease, one of those hustlers would
take it.-M. III. W., in Farm and Fire

MARKETING COTTON.
When the Farmer Raises Cotton as
a Surplus Crop He'll Get
Fair Price for 1t.

The trusts and spectators have
succeeded in holding down the price
of cotton, regardless of the short
crop and the government reports. It's
not the first time the cotton growers
have been beaten out of their hard
earned money by false estimates. But
the growers, by their foolishness, have
contributed largely into the hands of
the spectators themselves by selling
their cotton in the seed as fast
as they could get it out, regardless
of the price. Of course that forces
the ginners to put the cotton in order
to continue the buying. On account
of the round bale system the square
bale ginners are now forced to buy
cotton in the seed, or let their ma
chinery stand still. But when the
round bale system drives the square
bale men out of business, they will
then have the thing their way. Later,
when they get the bulk of the cot
ton seed in, they put up prices on
hullS anu lHeStl, Dul Will Sell lHcul
to the large cattle feeders about 25
per cent. cheaper than to the man
who raises the seed.f But it is nat
ural for big fish to eat little ones.
They have always done it, and [ sup
pose always will. But the plan for
the farmers is to unite and hold the
trust magnates down. But the farm
ers under the slip shod way of doing
business, are the subjects of all
trusts. Their produce is priced by
the other fellows, and all manufac-
tured goods they consume are priced
by others; hence, they are not in it,
except to do the work. And, it will
continue thus as long as men con-
tinue to wear their muscles out and
never exercise their brains. We ought
to make an indepedent living at
home, and raise cotton as surplus
crop, and then put a price of ten
cents per pound on it, and never turn
a bale loose for less. But as long as
we pick out a bale and run to the
gin and sell it regardless of the price,
we will never be anything but hewers
of wood and drawers of water. The
capital of the country is becoming
centralized like our government;
hence. it takes organization to com
pete with organization.-B. E. Mas
ters, in Farm and Ranch

TT NDER date of January 10, 1897,
| DR.. Hartman received the fol-
~ lowing letter.:
'My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past
rs years.
''Her case had baffled the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One of her worst troubles was chronic
constipation of several years stand
ing.
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
I wrote to you about her case. You
advised course of Peruna and Mana
lin, which we at once commenced, and
have to say it completely cured her.
She firmly believes that she would
have been dead only for these wonder
ful remedies.
"About the same time I wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of % years standing. At
times | was almost past going. | com
menced to use Peruna according to
your instructions, and continued it's use
for about year, and it has completely
cured me.
"Yourremedies do all that you claim,
for them, and even more. Cafarrh
cannot exist where Peruna is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies"

T. PROFESSIONAL OPINION.
Thu Advice of a Lawyer to His Bar
Ser, Who Was Cutting In ON
His business.

A former judge, now practicing law,
became interested when told by mis- fa-
vorite barber that the latter wanted to
study, with a view to admission to the
bar, relates the philadelphia Times. The
lawyer encouraged him in every way pos
sible, lending him books and giving MIN
an informal lesson while being shaved
each morning. Soon the barber began put
ting hypothetical cases to his patron, VINO
gravely, soundly and pains-takingly gave
information as to correct procedure. After
a time the ex-judge learned that the bar
ber's cases were genuine-that, indeed, the
fellow was acting as cut-rate attorney
for his friends, who Invariably profted by
following his advice. The following morn
ing the barber opened up by putting what
he described as an imaginary bit of litiga-
tion to the lather-covered lawyer, and then
asked:
'Now, Judge, what do you adviser"
"Let-me-see replied the lawyer, mus
ingly. Then: why, 1 advise that you
come see me at the Office, bring me GER.

HERE AND THERE.

Hogs are more prolific than any
other live stock. A good herd can be
built up i'll two years from a single
pair.
A favorite method with growers
of pork hogs is to cross any good
breed of pigs with plenty of corn and
alfalfa.
-Fattenirg hogs should have suf-
ficient variety of food to keep the APP
petite keen. Corn is the fattening
food, but should not be fed exclusive
ly.
The feeding value of alfalfa hay
as determined by its market price is
quite high just now. A Texas grower
has recently refused SIS per ton for
his crop of past summer.
There is no doubt that crossing
highly bred hogs on the razor-back
improves the vigor and vitality of the
progeny. But this vigor can be had
without going down grade for it.
The profit from fruit growing de-
pcnds on the quality of the product
more than on anything else. Extra
fine fruit can be sold anywhere at a
good price any day in the year. Then
why waste money and energy trying
to grow good fruit from inferior va
rieties.
Implements not in use need shell
ter as much as horses or cows or peo-
pie. The ancient custom of putting the
wagon under tree prevails on some
farms to-day. Also the ancient GUS
tom of leaving the plows against the
field fence and storing the cultivator
on the north side of the barn.

In letter dated January I, 1900,
Mr.. Atkinson says, after five years
experience with Peruna:
"IWiHever continue to speak q good
word for Pernna. In my rounds as a
travelling man am a walking adver-
iSenent for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Perana with the most satisfactory
results. lam still cured of cafarrh. ="
John o. Atkinson,
Box 2Z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be-
come so indispensable to old people.
Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is
the only remedy yet devised that
meets these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The High School.

The members OF the High School
Alumni association held n meeting last
night at which II vas decided TO do
everything possible to raise sufficient
means with which to keep The High
school open the full term. The amount
required Is 1000, Of which the associa-
ton pledged $500 before adjOurnlng.
The meeting was called TO order by
Burgess Young president of the ASSOC
citation, who called upon Prof Eaton to
outline conditions as they existed In
responding Prof Eaton said that the
Position of the High school was differ
ent from that Of the grade schools, in
asmuch as II was subject to competition
with other institutions. He said that
various UNCONVENTIONAL schools had TAX
en- advantage Of the difficulties this year
TO offer inducements to High school
pupils TO leave their alma mater. one
school had gone so far as to send out
circulars 10 students IN the business
course urging them TO desert the High
school and patronize the other Prof.
Eaton disapproyed OF this mingllng
commercialism and education He urged
that everything possible should be done
10 maintain the West side High school
for the remainder Of the term. The con-
tinuance OF the East Side school, he
said is now practically assured
President Young urged the formula
ton of a plan which would bring about
practical results, saying that many
schemes had been concocted but that
few OF them had produced what was
actually needed. Rollin Dole spoke In
a similar strain, while j. T. Goodwin |
moved that the association appropriate |
Its annual dues amounting 70 $50 and |
pledge as much more TO assist the |
school out OF IFS present difficulty This |
motion was seconded by VIII McCrea,
who remarked that this was the only |
city Of It's size in the United States that
did not pay sufficient taxes to keep up
It's school system. The motion carried.

How do you do it?'' is the question

Anyone who has the slightest knowl-
edge Of what Il costs 10 print and bind
a book weighing 6ls pounds and num-
bering over loo pages, knows that IL

the book Is used as premium for sub
scribers the loss Is cheerfully borne.
