Uome-Mixed Fertilizers.

There is no question but that the in.
gradients for fertilizers can be more
cheaply bought and the mixing done at
home than to buy the fertilizer already
mixed; but whether it will pay de.

knows pretty well what the crops he
proposes to grow need and understands
something about the home mixing of
fertilizers. having the necessary help
to do the work, it then pays, provided
one also has the necessary cash TO pay
for the material.

The Marketable Hog.

Hogs 10 be marketable at the high
est prices must he largely of uniform
type or ut least the types must APP
proach in uniformity The buyers in
the great markets of the country carry
in their minds eye the style of the
hog they think will make the most sal
able pork. The tendency to gravitatc
toward one type is. therefore, marked.
The buyer is inclined to be arbitrary.
He cannot tell why he prefers GER
tain type, but sticks 10 it that that
type is the kind he wants. This varies
also in different markets. both at home
and abroad. Tie English buyer who
has been buying bacon hogs for many
years has in his mind very different
type from the type of the man that in
the Chicago market has been buying
lard hogs all his life This variable
type the raiser of hogs has to consider
and ii both hinderS ana helps him in
improving his herd. 1t helps him in
improving his herd 1t helps him while
his animals are far below that type,
but it hiudcrs him as soon as he has
reached the type Of hog in the mind
of the buyer. for he cannot progress
beyond it except at loss to himself.
This fact has been the greatest obsta-
Gle in the improving of the bone and
stamina of hogs raised in the corn belt

CAUGHT MAN-EATING SHARK.
Six Men Required to Pull 7oo-Pound
Monster Out of Water.

F. i. Hopkins is fisherman: He does
not hold membership in a fishing club,
with fanciful name and clubhouse
furnished with lace curtains and patent
piano-player. But in his modest simple
way he makes some splendid catches.
Early yesterday morning he caught Il
man-eating shark that weighed 100
pounds, and which in the final struggle
after the monster had been wounded
unto death, required six men to pull out
Of the water. The shark was sent to
New Orleans yesterday from Bayou Des
Alemandes, and attracted hundreds Of
visitors to the establishment of the Pcll-
can Fish and Oyster company, in South
Rampant street, where it was OF eXhlbi-
ton during the afternoon, says The New
Orleans TimesDcmocrat.
The big fish, which will net probably
300 pounds of food, which some persons
declare is a deicacy, will be packed in
brine, boxed and shipped to Bayou Des
Allemandes. and during the cold days
when few buffalo and catfish arc to be
caught it will form an important part of
the diet of some Of the fishermen who
live near the bayou.
Several amateur fishermen who saw
the shark said it was of the variety
usually termed "the dog" by sailors; Sey-
eral other men who fish not for fishing 5
sake, but to earn a livelihood, and whose
calling have carried them to many diff
fercnt waters, said it was n baby shark.

old" said one grizzly old fellow, with m

IN GREAT DISTRESS
VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESISTED
EVERY EFFORT TO CHECK.
Mrs. Erooks Became So Weak She Thinks
She Would Have Died But For
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Df. w ililaihs
Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 40 Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account Of ner cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years off and on l was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from stomach trouble which
showed itself in frequent and trying
spells OF vomiting. Part of the time I
was able to work and again l would be
confined to bed for three or four days in
succession.
"My stomach was at times so delicate
that it would notretain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in.
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
me so weak that / would be compelled
to lie down between them. | would
have several Of them during the night
following II day of such attacks. Finally
became so weakened that had to give
up working altogether l weighed only
ninety-four pounds.
"Last January l read about DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People III one
Of the Chicago daily papers and bought
box and began to use them. After l
had used half box I found that could
keep on my stomach the food lac. |
was encouraged by this and kept on
using tie pills for four months. At the
end of that time the vomiting spells had
ceased altogether and my weight went
up to 142 pounds and is still growing.
81 think I surely would have died if
it had not been for DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for | sometimes vomited clear
blood, and for three or four days at
time | could not eat n bite of anything.
One doctor said had chronic iuflanlma-
sion of tho stomach, and another said
my difficulty was cancer, but none of
their medicines did me any good at all.
Finally concluded that / did not have
blood enough to digest my food and |
began the treatment that has cured me.
I can eat anything now, and have
strength for all kinds of work. ! always
keep DR.. Williams Pink Pills ON hand,
and | recommend them to my friends
because know they cured me-.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomachs and strengthen
the digestive organs until they do their
work perfectly. They are sold by all

While the Buff Plymouth Rock Is no
better than the well known barred, it
has proved itself better than the white
sort and, as a breed for fancers, has
become very popular. AS practical
fowl, we consider it not rs good as
the barred, for with us it has shown
some weaknesses that the older strain
does not have. 1t must not be inferred
however, that this is likely to be the
case with all of them, for many breed
ers consider them even better than
the barred. They are similar in size

Potatoes are quite largely fed to
hogs, but it is found advisable to boil
them. In the New England States
they are fed extensively being boiled
in milk and mixed with meal in bar
rel. Frequently several bushels are
boiled ut a time. and when mixed with
cornncal make an apretizing mess.
The only fault to be found with this
combination is that it IS badly out of
balance. The potatoes are ricn in
starch and so is the corn. TO such of
our readers as are still following the
old practice we would advise the sub
stitution of bran or of ground oats for
the cornmeal. This would make Il
fairly well-balanccd ration The Ca
nadians say that potatoes have good
effect on the quality of bacon pro
duced. There is probably no better
use to which small potatoes may be
put than ths.--IINchange.
