Preserving he Pork.

l find that nearly every recipe for the
preservation Of pork that has been
given recently in our farm paper con-
tains a certain quantity of ~saltpeter.
Now, one of the chemical truths that |
learned during my schooldays was that
much of the nutritive value of meat is
destroyed by the chemical action OF
salt and saltpeter and that the nitric
acid absorbed by the meat is largely
responsible for the diseases common to
marines and others who subsist prin-
cipally upon salt meats. Among these
diseases l might mention scurvy, sore
gums, decayed teeth, ulcers, etc. l
doubt If the effects of saltpeter are so
pornicious as represented, since 90
many good people advocate its use,
but | for one am resolved to steer clear
Of 1t. I find that sugar Is a good sub.
stitute and renders the meat sweeter
and more wholesome and is equally
good as a preservative John Jackson,
in Agricultural Epitomist.

sToCK SUGGESTIONS.

Any animal that is worthy of a place
on the farm has a right to good keep.
When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed
to fattening hogs,
Desirable breeding qualities In a
herd are fixed by a long line of care.
full selection and breeding.
A sheep adapted to every section and
to every breeders surroundings cannot
be grown in the same animal.
When an a~ll-corn ration is fed to
growing pigs the muscles of the body
do not develop to their normal size.
To secure the best results care should
be taken to feed the hogs according to
age, conditions and time of marketing.
In selecting breeding stock it is an
item to know whether they are from
a family noted for fertility, as this is
an inherited quality.
Do not think that rough usage will
cure a horse of the shying habit. He
soon associates the one with the other
and becomes hard to control.

SITUATION AT PORT ARTHUR.

Believed at Toxic Thai the Ras-
torophy Bore Important News.
Toxic, Nov. 18.-The opinion is ex-
pressed here that the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer R%astoropny carried to
Che Foo the extended dispatches ex-
planning the situation at Port Arthur,
the condition of the Russian squadron
and the shortage of food and ammuni-
ton, referring the question of further
resistance to the Russian government.
The nature of the Russian fire indi-
Gates a scarcity of certain kinds of
ammunition.
All prisoners taken by the Japanese
tell a story of increasing hunger.
1t is claimed that the Russian COM
manders are divided on the question
of continuing the defense. If this is
true, it fits the theory that the Ras-
toropny carried dispatches passing the
question to the emperor.

Good News for All.

Bradford, Tenn, Nov. 81 (Special)-
Scientific research shows Kidney Trouble
to be the father Of so many diseases that
news of a discovery of a sure cure for it
cannot fail to be welcomed all over the
country. And according to Mr.. J.. A.
Davis of this place just such a cure is
found in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Davis
says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed them. They have done me more
good than anything l have ever taken.
l had Kidney Trouble very bad and after
taking a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills l am completely cured. I cannot
praise them too much"
Kidney Complaint develops into
Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes, Rheu-
matism, and other painful and fatal dis
eases. The safeguard is to cure your
kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills when
they show the first symptom of disease.

BUM, NOT BOMB, SHELLS.

Indication That Ammunition Ia
Short ut Port Arthur.
London, Nov. 18.-The Standard has
q dispatch, from Toxic which asserts
that all indications point to the con-
clusion that Port Arthur is near the
extreme limit Of resistance. Most of
the Russian shells do not explode, and
many of them are found to be old
Chinese shells filled half with sawdust
and half with gunpowder. Preparations
appear to be proceeding for a final re-
tirement by Gen. Stoessel and his gar
rison to Liza I'll Shan.
According to the same correspondent,
none of the Russian artillery at Port
Arthur damages the Japanese except
ing the big naval guns mounted on the
batteries ashore .

Mrs. Porkdollars has not as yet got over
the novelty of riches. At the same time
she is not inclined to admit this, and it is
her great desire, relates London Answers,
that the society with which she is now
entitled to mix by virtue of her hus.

Recently she was at a big dinner party,
and as she was being piloted from draw

RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET.

Little Danger of Its Attempting to
Pass the Dardanelles.
London, Nov. 1S.-A long report has
reached the foreign Office, giving in de-
tail the condition of the Russian Black
sea feet. The report was prepared in
readiness for use should the fleet at
tempt to pass through the Dardanelles.
In this connection the correspondent
in Constantinople wires there will be
no such attempt. The squadron, he
says, would be unable to take a long
voyage, and further, it's equipment has
been weakened to fit out the Baltic
feet for sailing.

How a Farm Conveyance May Be

To make a sled pull easy in dry or

The following excellent plan for q

Mr.. Adam Roth, of Ontario, to the Ca
madam Farmers Advocate:
Because of it's slanting purline posts,
this plan is commonly called the bridge
beam. In most of the barns the posts
are vertical. Too many upright posts
in a barn floor are a hindrance, especial
ly in small barns built when timber Is
plentiful. According to the proposed
plan not a single post is on the barn

Present Session Of Congress
Is Likely to End in
the Latter Part of April
MANY BILLS ON FILE
Political Discussion Will
Consume Time Not Dev0t-
ed to Appropriation Bills
MANY BILLS ON FILE

WASHINGTON, April 10. = April %
has been discussed In committee-rooms
and among Senators and Representa-
tives as not at all an improbable date
for the termination of the present ses-
sion of Congress. No call has yet been
issued, but Republican leaders Of the
Senate anticipate holding a meeting
of the steering committee early next
week to agree on general programme
for the remaining days of the session.
The appropriation bills this week Will
take precedence of all business In the
Senate, but it is more than probable
that political discussion will take up
most of the time nominally devoted to
appropriations. The postoffice bill will
divide attention early in the week with
the conference report on the Indian bill.
By the time these two measures shall
have been disposed of it is expected
that the sundry civil bill will have
been reported from the Committee on
Appropriations. 1t is quite generally
understood that several Democratic
Senators will reply to Senator Spooners >
speech, among them Senator German.
There will be an effort made to get up
the Panama canal bill during the week,
out not IL IL WOulQ interfere Win con-
sideration Of appropriation bills.
The measures of Importance that will
come before the House this week in
clude the s3,000000 appropriation to
carry on necessary river and harbor
work; the general deficiency bill, which
is expected to come from the Appro-
priations Committee early in the week,
the Cooper bill amending the Philip
pine civil government bill authorizing
bond issue by the island government
for interest on improvements and guar
anteeing per cent earnings on capital
to be invested in railroad buildings IN
the islands; the Statehood bill and con-
ference reports as they may come up
for consideration.
The river and harbor and general de-
fioiency bills are not likely to consume
much time, but the Philippine bill,
which probably will be reported by
Wednesday, is expected to require at
least two days debate.
The Statehood bills career is to be
determined by a caucus of Republican
members to be held probably Thurs
day evening. A special rule from the
Committee on Rules limiting debate
and providing for a vote is expected as
the result of the caucus.
