Raising Crops For Hogs.

The hogs of this country are being
ruined by continuous feeding ON corn.
In some sections to such an extent has
TINS been carried that the animals are
being raised at considerable loss. Hog
raisers should understand that the an
imals in their care iced protein to OBJ
tain the best results, just as much as
cows need protein. If alfalfa or Glow
er cannot be grown to advantage, try
cowpeas, or, if your land is too good
for such a crop, and you want some
thing for summer feeding which will
supply the needed protein, try Canada
field peas, which can be readily grown
on any good land.
The best plan for raising this crop
is to set the peas at the rate Of a peck
an acre, plow them under two of three
inches and SOW a mixture consisting Of
a peck of oats, a peck of barley and
one-third of a bushel of wheat to the
acre. This will make a good growth
and furnish IN abundance of food con.
tanning protein for summer feeding.

The Countersign,

The farm was a lonely one, and the
farmers wife, a gentle, timid creature,
lived in dread of tramps. Three times a
year, when the farmer went to town for a
day and a night, the night was a sleepless
one for the poor little woman. They kept
no hired man except in the haying season.
Nobody ever has comet" grumbled the
farmer, when his wife poured forth her
fears.
"No, but some one might" she protest
ed. And sure enough, one evening the
dreaded happened.
It was late November and cold. The
ground was frozen, and the wind, as the
farmers wife expressed it, was cruel"
1t was 7 o'clock at night, the house was
barred and bolted, the two children were
getting ready for bed.
There was a loSd knock at the door, fol-
lowed by a succession of brisk raps.
"Who is there?" quavered the farmers
wife, through the keyhole.
81 want a bed for the night" said a
mans hoarse voice.
go away! Go away" cried the farm
er's wife in terror.
"You wouldn't turn a man off this kind
of weather, | hope?" said the voice on the
other side of the door, and then the stran-
ger coughed distressfully.
The farmers wife looked to the chain on
the door, drew the bolts, and opened the
door the width of the chain. By the light
of the lamp which she carried she saw that
the stranger was roughly clad and unsha-
ven. I'm here alone with my children,
she said, firmly, ''and | am not going to
risk letting any one in"
The man hesitated a moment, then
thrust his hand into his coat pocket, drew
forth a little book and handed it to her.
"For the sake of this, won't you trust
me?" he asked.
She took the little book. 1t was worn
and thumbed and old. It was a Bible.
Without a word she unfastened the chain
and let the stranger in.
The next morning, after he had helped
her with the chores, he thanked her and
babe her goodbye, and as they shook
hands he said:

How to Make Iron Float.

cord. Let it be a half inch thick, say,
and two inches square, or have it
round and perfectly smooth on one
side at least. Place the smooth side
against the perfectly smooth, square
end of an open glass tube, say an inch
and a half in diameter, and hold it
there until it and the tube are lowered
into a vessel of water TO a depth greater
than about eight times the thickness
of the iron. Remove the hand and the
iron will remain in its place, the up
ward pressure of the water preventing
it's sinking. This is the principle of
the iron ship.-Kansas City Journal.

Toxic, Japan.-Particulars of the de-
struction of Japanese transports in the
Korea strait by vessels of the Russian
Vladivostok squadron have been re-
ceived here. The Russian warships
were encountered near Okino Island,
directly in the course of any Japanese
vessel bound westward from Moji.
1t was about Z o'clock p. m that the
transport Hitachi sighted the enemy's
vessels-two cruisers and two destroy
ers. A blank shot was fired by one of
the Russian ships rs a signal for the
Hitachi to stop. Instead of Obeying
the order the transport put on full
speed and fled, with a Russian cruiser
in pursuit.
At 10 o'clock the Russians opened
fire On the Hitachi with their smaller
guns, their apparent object being not
to sink the vessel, but to kill the men
Oh board.
Afterward the Russians drew along
side and sent three brOadsides into the
ship. The slaughter of men and horses
was terrible.
Colonel Suchi, the officer in command
of the soldiers on board, burned the
regimental colors to prevent them fall
ing into the enemy's hands, and as the
ship was seen to be in a sinking condi.
ton be ordered his men to jump over
board and try to save themselves by
swimming. There was no time to
launch the boats. The Colonel had
scarcely given this order when he was
killed by a shell.
Most of the officers on board com.
mitted suicide with their pistols OF
swords. The skipper, an Englishman
of the name of Campbell, jumped over,
board. The water about the ship was
filled with men who had leaped from
the sinking vessel. The Russians
turned their rapid-fire guns on these
swimmers, causing fearful destruction
Of life.
The last Russian broadside exploded
the Hitachi's boilers and she sank,
twenty-six miles from the mainland,
between Okino and Shimi islands.
1t is now said that her survivors
oumber less than 100.
The transport Sado was overhauled
oy the Russians eleven miles south of
Okino Island, and an order was given
by signals for her to stop. While the
signal was flying the Russians fired 150
shots, approaching, meanwhile, within
l60 yards. The crew of the Sado took
to the boats and rowed off in different
directions. So far as they could see
only two shots struck the transport,
out these did great damage. There
were about 200 survivors.
For some reason the Russian ships
withdrew early. They went to the
eastward past Oki Island.
Official reports confirm the accounts
Of the destruction of the Hitachi, add.
ing that the upper deck was in flames
before she sunk. The Sado was ahead
Of the Hitachi. The military officers
On the Sado were uninjured, the men
who had tried to escape returning
aboard. The killed are estimated at
some scores.
1t is said that the Russian attack re.
suited in a loss of about 900 japanese
soldiers and sailors, besides many
horses and a large quantity of supplies.

Points on Care of Lambs.

If the lambs are to be locked this
work should be done when they are
about two weeks old, in order to ac-
complish it with the least amount Of
injury. At this age the loss of blood
will be small and the lamb will nurse
as well as usual. After they are fully
recovered and are doing we'll on the
mothers milk, begin to teach them to
eat grain, and this apples to lambs
that are lot locked, for if the lambs
are to Re brought to maturity ard con-
sequent prof: early they must get a
good start. See also that they are put
on good grass early, for if they have
learned t eat grain, though but a
small quantity, the grass will help
them properly to digest the grain. Re-
member, the quick grown lamb gives
just that quality to the meat so much
desired 1y the consumer, so that every
effort should be made to raise the lamb
properly.

Making Your Temnsr Over.

IF you were not born with a good tenn
per. make your temper over. If cheeriness
and patience and amiability are not nat
ural, cultivate them as a second nature.
No one can be really happy who is irrit-
able and fault-fnding, and what is worse,
he renders his nearest and dearest equally
unhappy. Determination can conquer
these faults, and a disposition as full Of

inherited without any attempt at change
or alteration. If it is not what you want,

1t is not difficult to distinguish between
the true and the artificial. The moral test
is the sure one. When conscience is sensi-
tive and the will submissive, and the life
consistent, there is no doubt about ones
spirituality. When the soul sings: Il de-
light to do Thy will, 0, God" and then
does delight to do Gods will, or does the
viii of God from firm resolve, there can be
no doubt. When one loathes sin and tries
to leave it-all sin, all kinds of sin-sin
against the body, sin against the soul, sin
against the neighbor, sin again Christ and
the Father-there is no difficulty in reach
ing a decision as to the commences of
Christian character. 1t is no mirage. The
garden Of the Lord is there.-Bishop John

AGRICULTURAL.



The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden is one of the earlier var
ieties of peas. On account of the hardi.
ness of the plant no amount of cold
weather will do much injury after the
peas are once up, but when planted
extremely early a part of the seed wild
rot in the ground, causing many gaps
in the row.. Early in the season usually
there is little nitrogen in the soil and
the plants grow very slowly at first.
A little nitrate of soda applied in the
row at the time of sowing will hurry
the growth of peas. The market value
of the crop depends largely upon it's
earliness. The kinds which do not re-
quire bushing are most popular for
farm use. The late kinds often do not
produce a crop until warm weather
comes, and for that reason are often
attacked by blight, which may be pre-
vented by spraying with bordeaux
mixture same as for apple trees.
