ONLY NATION OF HUSTLERS.
No other People work with the Fever
ish Industry Of fAmericans-Fnct
Suggests n Question.

We are the only nation Of husuers,
and the idea suggests itself that all the
rest Of the world cannot be entirely
wrong and we alone right in the con-
duct and object Of life, says the Hart
ford Times. The Germans and the
French work for a certain number Of
hours With a steady but not a feverish
industry, and then they enjoy them
selves in what we would consider a
rather childish way. They gather in
their cafes or beer gardens with their
families and chat good-humoredly
about trivial subjects. Even the Eng
lish, though aboundlng In physical en-
ergy. take life easily.
They seem TO us to make too much
OF their leisurely game Of cricket But
all these nations have accomplished
great things. not only in science, art
and literature. but In the material ad-
vance Of civilization. They do not ex-
pend nervous energy as rapidly as we
do. and in consequence the period OF
life work among their men IS longer.
They do not consume life so fast. May
Il not be that they. in their old-fash-
toned way. are wiser than we? They
have embomed their views Of life In
proverbs like these: more hast
worse speed" "He who goes slowly
goes far" "Irs the pace that kills
and others to the same purport and
proverbs are entitled to respect be-
cause they embody the vision Of hui
manity. There is no proverb enioin-
ing the necessity Of continuous rest
less activity.

HOW SHELLFISH TALK.
Warn One Another Of Danger by
weird Clicking sounds, says
Distinguished Naturalist.

Most seamen will tell Of curious click
ing sounds heard on calm nights al sea,
and the origin OF the noise seems so al
together unaccountable that It has often
created some alarm among superstltious
fishermen, says the Chicago Tribune.
DISTINGUISHED naturalist made a care
ful study Of the sounds on many occa-
sions. and found that It was not sus-
tained note, but made up Of multitude
Of tiny ones. each clear and distinct in
itself. and ranging from a high treble
down 10 a bass. When the ear was ap-
piled TO the gunwale Of the boat the
sound grew more inense, and in some
places. as the boat moved on, it could
not be heard at all
On other occasions the sound resem-
bled the tolllng Of bells. the booming OF
guns. and the notes Of an Aeolian harp.
For a long time be was unable to trace
the cause. but at length discovered that
the sounds were made by shellfish, hun
dreds Of them opening their shells and
closingthem with sharp snaps. The noise,
partly mufled by the water, sounded
indescribably weird. He was finally led
TO the conclusion that, as the shellfsh
made the sounds. they probably had some
meaning, and that the clicks might posi-
bly, be a warning Of danger when the
shallow water was disturbed by the boat

In visiting many herds and flocks J
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact that there is no uniformity

may take ten. fifteen, twenty or even
forty years TO do so. and perhaps you
may never reach il. but keep It ever
before you, never lose sight Of # foI
an instant. nor let anything else drive
it away. You will find that the man
who makes a success Of breeding is he
who sticks TO his ideal with. as It were.

If the production Of bacon hogs is the
ideal a man has set up for himself. then
be should get as near 10 the ideal type

much nearer that type than others. In
judging Of the length Of a hog il is not
enough that he should be long from the
nose to the tail. but It Is Of special i'm
poriance that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. have heard some
people say that II costs more TO pro-
duce the bacon type of hog than the Fat
kind. I want to give you this for your
encouragement-it has never been
proved that It does cost more. Our ex-
periments show very conclusively that
II does not necessarily cost more to pro-
duce a pound OF gain IN a good bacon
hog than In a fat hog, and that a good
bacon hog is an economical producer.

GAMBLING AND STOCKS.
stock Speculation Is Outwardly Re-
spectacle Hut Just a. Certainly
Brings Final Financial Ruin.

The very fact that the professional
gambler is TO a large extent a social
outcast. plying his craft at night and
behind steel doors and only then with
the purchasable connivance Of the au-
thorities, is in itself warning that not
even the stupidest can fail to observe.
Stock speculation, on the contrary, says
Leslies Monthly, hangs out the banner
Of respectabllity-which a great many
unthinking persons have somehow come
to confound with morality-and under
its protection, carries on its traffic night
and day, in city streets and village lanes,
in parlor and boudoir, in store and in
factory-in short wherever Il can find a
single human being possessed Of this
mania for getting something for moth
ing. Men who would scOrn TO cross the
threshold Of a gambling house, gamble
openly in stocks and are not ashamed to
discuss their ventures in the presence
Of their own children. When Wall street
ruins q man, II strips him Of everything
that he possesses-destroys his busi-
ness. places a mortgage on his home,
eats up the trust funds Of which he was
custodian and leaves him naked to the
world.

CORN FEED PROBLEM.
swine Raisers Who Are Try
Ing 10 DO Well.

A dozen years ago the farmers OF the
corn belt that were engaged in the
raising OF hogs would consider no other
feed Tor swine except corn. They be-
gan to feed the pigs corn about as
soon as they were weaned and contin-
ued to feed them corn til they were
butchered Corn was very cheap then
except in occasional years when there
was a partial corn crop failure. In
those days corn was not only cheap, but
freight rates were high and ii cost a
great deal TO get the corn 70 market
There was a saving TO the producer in
marketing his corn crop .n the shape Of
pork Since that time there has been
a great change In the position Of corn
relative TO oats and other grains. There
are many commercial uses to which
corn is now put that formerly were not
dreamed Of IL now seems likely that
the general average Of corn prices will
rise from year 10 year. responsive to the
increasing demand and the restrictive
area of country IN which corn can be
grown. The future is likely to see the
oat and barley crops more largely used
in the finishing Of swine than is
dreamed Of at the present time. At any
rate We are about at the end Of feed
ing pigs on a whole corn diet We can
not now figure out a profit with such a
course Of feeding. For a long time yet
hogs that do not follow cattle will be
finished on corn. but We may expect
10 see that finishing period grow con-
stantly shorter Men will also realize
that a change to clover and grain other
than corn Will give them some benefits
in the way Of increased stamina in thelI
swing as well as more fecundity. The
corn feed problem is one that cannot
be ignored longer but is in course OF
solution by every swine raiser that is
trying to make money.-Farmers' Re
