Young, growing pigs crave a varie-

Even mlddlings and bran they do not
relish as when made into slop.
In growing potatoes, a change Of
seed from north to south is a decided
advantage. The crop Is sure to be
heavier and of more vigorous growth,
consequently there is less liability to
disease.

o HIS "AlFALFAS.'
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one of the speakers Mt a
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
on the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman J.. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio of ngri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson made a happy speech,
and because of his popularity with the
western ruInlist he was the shining, cen,
trail figure of the gathering, When he
had finished talking lusiy lungs and sun.
burned hands gave him polsy appreciation.
The applause had not CEASED when a Ne.
braska farmer, with whakers like Senator
PETERS, arose in the bad; of the hall and
said:
Gentlemen, we are al mighty glad TO
hear Secretary Wilson AID are ready to
do him honor, but let ID not forget the
other great mon we havr with us. We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriulturc'&
1t was as far as the SPEAKER ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
shrieks of laughter.

H FARM HOME SITE.
Many Errors In Judgment Are No-
ticeab!e In the Selection Of
Farm Home Sites.

A drive through any part Of the
country will usually cause the obsery-
er, if he has discernment for the fit
ness of things, to wonder at the build
ing-sites that have been selected, or at
least are now occupied with farmers
home buildings. On the one hand may
be seen a dwelling situated at the foot
of a slope, where 1t receives the drain
age from the higher ground, upon
which there are perhaps stables, stiles
and stock yards, while the house
grounds and cellar are quite likely to
be impossible of good drainage. On
the other hand may be seen a house
perched upon the topmost point of a
bluff or set into a hillside, where the
tired housewife and weary workers
must climb by stairs or a steep path
TO and from their work thousands OF
times yearly.
Some of these sites we're no doubt
chosen at an early date, when the face
of the country was covered with tim
Der and underground, and before per-
manent roadways were determined up
on; but it is true, likewise, that the
same mistakes are being repeated with
recent locations, where ideal or much
superior sites were accessible within a
stones throw on the same property
The reasons for such obvious errors in
Judgment are frequently not difficult
TO explain. The important main essen
tials have been lost sight of, or eclipsed
by something quite trivial in COMPARE
son, such as a convenient location Tor
a bank-cellar, nearness TO a brook, or
a favorite nook for a garden.
The importance of a right choice IN
the matter of selecting 4 site is almost
beyond estimate, often having direct
bearing upon the lives of a number OF
generations.
The hygienic and sanitary conditions
should of course, have first thought n
count for most. The convenience OF
approach and general accessibility,
with a view to Ease Of labor, is another
weighty consideration, unless the
builder has ample means to provide
help and labor-savers sufficient to over
come such an objection. Another o n
sideration of scarcely less importance
is that of beauty of location and the
outlook of landscape and pleasant
views to be obtained. II is not often
to choose a site on a cliff,
ridge or some other inaccessible place
to secure a pretty and picturesque To-
for q farm home. 1t is more
in studying the matter carefully on
the ground, with the aid Of experienced
observers, who should have a touch or
the artist In their makeup.
The selection of the outward style
of buildings and material to he used
are also matters requiring skill, taste
and good common sense, no matter
if the home to be made will be hut
These matters of detail are
quite like posing and costuming for a
portrait or picture in the influence
hey will exert or inflict upon the own
nrs or passers-by.-B. F. w. Thorpe, in
Farm and Fireside.

RUIN OF SOCIAL dOPES.
Aspiring Family Tries to Butt Into
Society, But Missed the Goal by
Small Margin.

Having made $4,000, 900 in the min
Ing business Mr.. Nibsley's wife and
daughters convinced him that he ought
to establish his residence in New York,
so that they might get into society
and perhaps in time attract the atten.
ton OF some foreigner with a title, a Y
the Chicago Record Herald. Further.
more 1t would be so splendid to get
ahead of the Holtons. Clara Holton,
the mean thing, looked down on the
Nibsley girls because her father had
become rich three years before Nibs.
ley made his strike.
BY manipulating a corner in wheat
Holton had cleaned up fully 81, 900. 900.
or course Nibsley's mining venture
had turned out a million better than
that, but even in the west the ones
who have been rich the longest are the
ones who have the greatest social
prestige.
So, as Mrs. Nibsley and her fair
daughter figured it out, going TO live
in New York and getting themselves
recognized there was the only means
whereby they couli hope to eclipse
Miss Holton.
Humboldt Nibsley was n good hus
band and a kind father, and he readily
consented, therefore, to Go all that lay
in his power to help his women folks
to come 1t over the Holton girl. In
good time 1t came to pass that he
placed the matter before a certain New
York real estate firm. and in the short
space Of six weeks glad tidings were
received.
An option ha0 been secured on n
building lot that was only 167 feet
from Fifth avenue II was ont of the
question. the gentlemanly agents
wrote, that a man with only SO 900, 900,
who was not related by MARI, age to the
nobility, could come to New York from
the west and have a place or Fifth av.
emu itself.
But to GO. within 1877 feet Of the
social center right at the start was a
triumph OF no small proportions.
The agents were directed to close the
deal at once, and joy reigned in the
Nibsley household. The ladies planned
to travel in Europe while the building
was going on, and they hoped to be
able when they returned to bring at
least one or two titled gentlemen with
them to look their new home over and
inquire into papa's assets and liabili-
ties generally,
For six months ioy-supreme joy
was theirs. They had met an English
earl, a German count, three French
marquises and so many Russian
princes that they had quit counting
them, They had sent postal cards
home from the Riviera and had been
photographed in gondolas with St.
Marks in the background. Social
triumph was almost within their reach,
when 10! their air castles went down
in heaps Of unlovely ruins. Also their
New York castle. into which they were
getting ready to move, ceased to All
them with joy. Old man Holton had
bought a place that vas only 1881 feet
from Fifth avenue.
Thus the Nibsleys missed the goal
by three feet six inches, and Clara Hol
ton continued to keen the point of her
nose high in the air.
Truly the way to social glory is a
way of many slips and dreadful un.
certainties.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me March 2l.-Mrs
a. J.. smith, Of this place, says that
Dodds Kidney Pills are the best remedy
tor growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasize
her recommendation by the following ex-
pcrience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass of. In a month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even The whites OF her eyes would be yell
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement.
they all sad they could not help her.
After taking n box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of
course, we continued the treatment un.
III she had used in all about a dozen
boxes. and We still give them TO her oc.
caslonalll when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls.
Mothers should heed the advice Of Mrs.
smith, for, by so doing they may save
Their daughters much pam and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future for
them.

ASHE SOWED LIVER PILLS.
But 1t Is Hot at All Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root.

There is a woman in Phoenix, Ariy.,
who has the correct idea all right, but,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states the Republican
OF that town.
Recently her husband bought a small
ranch, and with him she has been muck
interested in planning improvements, espc-
cially N the growing line, with which to
adorn the place.
The other day beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady of the house was
buslly engaged in asserting her seeds aud
carrying the little packets out OF doors,
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. As each variety
was planted, the name was placed on a
small marker, as is the custom with gar.
deners.
In a particularly choice location the con.
tents Of a packet were laboriously dropped,
one by one, until the row was filled and
the earth nicely smoothed over it.. When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she
had carefully planted her mothers pack.

REMEDY FOR
Something That Is Simple Yet Has
Been Known to Work
Wonders.

At the board of health Office a sma.,

to those interested, and, because of the
announced value of the cure for pneu.

Take six to ten onions. according
to size, and chop fine, put in a large
spider owe a hot fire, then add about
the same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to form a thick paste,
In the meantime stir 1t thoroughly,

Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to the
chest as hot as patient can bear.
In about ten minutes apply another,
and thus continue by relocating the

tient will be out of danger. This sim
pie remedy has never failed to cure
this too often fatal malady, usually
three or four applications will be suHi-
cient, but continue always until the
perspiration starts freely from the
chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
