Give Hoos More Range.

Give FfoqS wore range.
A Feeder writes the Agricultural
Epitomist as follows on an old subject
that will not hurt to renew acquain-
lance with at any time OF the year
A very common practice and yet
very injurious practice. among farmers
is to confine their swine in close pens,
not allowing them free range and a
change of atmosphere. The original
hog had the freedom of the woods,
where he could dig for roots and OBJ
tain other things possessing medical
qualities: consequently he was much
healthier, and less liable to cholera and
other contagious diseases. All animals
like a change of diet. This they can
get when allowed large pasture TO
roam over. as there will be found there
so many kinds of weeds that they viii
relish, which will greatly improve the
appetite Notice the difference be-
tween two punches of hogs; one which
has been closely confined. the other
which has had plenty of range and
change of sleeping apartments. You
will readily notice the difference in
appearance, health, growth, etc.
Another very poor practice is to allow
around old straw stacks, and when al
lowed to do this, erelong the hogs will
show the effects of such a poor prac-
tice-as some will show signs of poor
health and also stunted condition from
overheating and OVERLAPPING. Grain
being more costly than the grasses 1t IS
therefore point In economy to gain
as many pounds as possible by the use
of grass. 1t has been well said that
variety is the spice of life This is
as true of the life of animals as Of
man. Don't feed those pigs 50 much
grain, give them such food as will be
conducive of more growth and less
flesh. Prepare a pasture especially
adapted to the needs and wants of the
pigs; such as clover, peas, rape. etc.
and you will have stronger and better
hogs. Hogs weighing about 200
pounds, well fattened, are bringing the
top of the market now. The large,
coarse hog is no longer in such de-
mand; this works a great saving to the
producers. as it is impossible to make
market toppers In six to nine months.
so that it is not necessary to winter
ANYTHING but the brood sows. spring
pigs being marketed in the fall. In this
way, too. they can be matured at much
less cost than those that have to be
wintered before fattening. Think 1t a
better plan to give even those hogs that
are on full feed a chance to roam
some. as they will not overdo this
il water is handy to the feed pen.

TARIFF RippERs OF HISTORY.

In 1883 General Grant and Mr.. Tres
colt, acting for the United States, me-
xotiated with the republic of Mexico a
most important reciprocal treaty. 1t
was Transmitted to the senate by Pres
ident Arthur with his recommendation.
In 1885 the time of ratification was ex-
tended one year, and In 1885 again ex-
tended for similar period. This treaty
is worthy Of especial study. because IT
initiated what may be termed the mod
Nrn discussion as to the relation between
reciprocity and protection, and is ex-
ceedingly significant upon contro-
versy now widespread whether reci-
procity in competitive things is consis-
Gent with the true theory of protection.
Ehe Mexican treaty so negotiated by
General Grant and Mr.. Prescott. if it
had been ratified, would have establish
I'd substantial free trade between the
United States and Mexico; and con-
corning 1t Mr.. Blaine, six years later.
wrote thus in a letter to Senator Frye,
during the tendency of the Mckinley
bill.
'tSix years ago the prime minister of
Spain, In his anxiety to secure free adj
mission to our markets of the sugar of
Cuba and Porto Rico. agreed to very
extensive treaty of reciprocity with

Z treaty, well considered in all its parts

would have proved highly advantag-
cons ID both countries. Both these
treaties Of reciprocity failed to secure
the .arprovar OF congress, and failed
for the express reason that both pro-
vtdea for the free admission OF sugar.
Conssess would not then allow a sing lc

President Cleveland, and was not af-

Contemporaneonsly with the Mexican

lar one was negotiated with Santo Do
fningo. Neither of these treaties was
ratified, for the reason, first: They en-
countered the opposition of President
Cleveland and some of his party. They
proposed that all the tariff schedules
should be revised in order to bring
them to q revenue basis, second: Many
members or the republican party stood
against them because they interfered
to some extent with some OF the bene-
flcaries of the protection policy.

Archaeological in Rome Dig Up Cap

SldT Dal'1'y IaSN |'10o
Rome, June 14.-Signor Giacomo
Boni, an archaeologist who is directing
the excavations of the Forum, has
found heavy capstan with eight fixed
levers of wood. The wood is perfectly
preserved, while the iron fixtures have
become oxidized.
This discovery is considered of the
greatest Importance as being the first
known mechanical continuance dating
back 1000 years. The eapstan, when
was found almost intact has a diam
eter of over two yards.
Signor Roni has ordered the capstan
covered with a special preparation for
the purpose of preserving the wood.
