ALost Argument.

The Democratic party in advocating
free trade for the United States has
always pointed to England as the
most prosperous country in the world
because 1t was free trade country.
But the growing demand in England
for protection takes that argument
away from the Democrats. When
England, that has long prided itself
upon free trade, turns away from It,
the United States will be wise to ad-
here to its policy Of protection that
has made this country the most pros
porous in all the world.-Freeport

Atmosnhers of the Planets.

The atmosphere of world depends
on its gravitation. Gases tend to diff
fuse into space, unless retained by
adequate attraction. Our earth can
hardly retain so light and mobile q
gas as hydrogen; Mars may have DIFF
ficulty in retaining the less mobile
vapor Of water; but the gravitation OF
the moon Is too slight to retain any
known gas, hence she has no atmos-
phere or water. Yet this is not sufil-
Client reason for assuming the absence
of life.

A4BREEDING"&sM

At an Illinois sale Of Poland Chinas
a half interest in a boar was sold to
Frank Wolgamuth of Elgin, Ill, for
$4,1OO, and the same party recently
paid $1,000 for a half interest in an
other boar. 1t would be interesting to
know how this capitalist figures to
break even on his two investments,
and IL he can show us we shall say no
more about booming Poland-China
hogs, says Stockman and Farmer.
AS to prices of Poland-Chinas in gen
eral, they are no higher than they were
a year ago, if as high. Those who
want good pure bred hogs can buy
them at reasonable prices of reputable
breeders just as they always could.
Inflated values prevail at only a few
doomed sales, and they have no sub
stantial foundation.
Feeding Pigs.
I have raised thoroughbred Chester
Whites for the last FIFTEEN years. !
have a litter Of eight fine pigs two
weeks old from a Chester White SOW
bred to a Berkshire boar and expect to
have them eating out Of the trough
when they are three weeks old. l al
ways keep a trough outside the pen,
where the pigs have free access to it,
so they a eat at their leisure and
not be worrying the flesh all off the
SOW. At six weeks old they want
about three pailfuls of good swill a
day. If you want them to gain a
pound a day after weaving them give
them good feed and all they want and
a dry nest to sleep in.-Cor. American
Agriculturist.
OF Course They Didn't Pay.
Penning hogs in a mudhole is simply
q device for proving that hogs don't
pay. 1t would surely be a poor speci-
men of the genus sus that would pay
for such accommodations and a still
poorer specimen Of the two legged hog
that would furnish such treatment.
says Farm and Ranch. Some time ago
or a large farm we saw about twenty
pork hogs in a pen about sixty feet
square where the black, stiff mud was
belly deep to the poor animals, and it
was cold, wintry weather. In that
mud the hogs had to eat and sleep.
Comfort and Good Feeding.
To fatten rapidly the hog must be
kept comfortable as we'll as being well
fed. Eating is merely the mechanical
part Of the process which prepares the
food for digestion. 1t is the digestion
that adds to the weight Of the animal.
Quiet comfort aids digestion. A little
exercise also aids digestion.

An Odd

Perhaps the Strangest escape from
death after being swallowed up by an
earthquake is that which is recorded
on q Jamaican gravestone. Here
neth the body of Lewis Gladly, Esq,
who died on the 22d of September,
1887, aged eighty. He was born
at Montpellier, in France, which place
he left for his religion, and settled
on this island, where, in the great
earthquake, 1872, he was swallowed
up and, by the wonderful providence
of God, by a second shock was thrown
out into the sea, where he continued
swimming until he was taken up by a
boat and thus miraculously preserved"

Concerning Drowning.

IL was stated recently by a gentle
mar well known in the world Of nata-
ton that accidents to swimmers are
seldom due to cramp, but to apoplexy
resulting from sudden COOLING. The
sinking three times is a curious error,
as some persons swallow water and
strangle on first immersion, sinking
u once, While others may sink and
rise nifty times. A man who has say-
ed ~slXty-five lives has found that the
drowning person cannot be stunned by
a blow in the face, but that he can be
handled by pressing the thumb under
the ears and ducking his head until
manageable, this being done from be-
hind. The loss Of presence Of mind

Gorillas In Battle.

The prevailing belief that gorillas
uoe clubs when they attack each other
or their enemies is an entirely erro-
one," writes a traveller. "They
do nothing of the sort, and how such
an impression ever came to exist or
how old time African explorers ever
came to formulate such a theory is be-
yond my comprehension. During a
long s~ojourn in that country / had ann
pie opportunities t learn the truth
about them, and what l discovered
there was subsequently confirmed dur
Ing q protracted hunting trip in Bor-
neo.
The fact II that In fighting each
other or In attacking or defending
themselves from other enemies they
depend entirely upon their teeth,
which are abnormally strong and
sharp and cut like q razor. They are
clumsy on their feet, but the enormous
strength Of their powerful arms more
than makes up for this deficiency. In
lighting they almost invariably attack
the faces or the limbs Of their adver-
oaries.
