Breed Intellleently.

Hit-or-miss breeding is the mistake
Of the hour in the breeding Of swine.
The practice Is the one most popu-
larly followed, because it is the cas-
lest. 1t is moving toward the point of
least resistance. This, however, is not
the profitable way to breed. Most
men will follow It: for to go In an.
other direction requires too much
thought, too much study, too much in
vestigatlon and too much work. Yet
the hard road is the one that leads to
prosperity in the hog raising business.
IL a man Is going into the scientific
breeding of swine he should know
what products certain matings will
bring forth. For such there is no rule.
but there are numerous rules some of
which have not been discovered. The
field for development in this direction
is large. To the aid of such a breeder
must be brought all the experiences of
others, incorporated in books or OBJ.
famed orally, Swine breeding is not
the narrow subject 1t seems. 1t has
many phases and each feature of
these sub-divides almost indefinitely.
To be successful man must not ex.
haust his entire energies in mere
manual labor; but must leave himself
some energy for deep thought and
mental questioning. l,.

Crawford and Clay. None OF the four
college, and the election thus devolv-
ed upon the House, with choice to
be made from the three candidates.
Adams, Crawford and Jacksonville
had received the most electoral votes.
This debarred Clay, who, forced, as he
expressed it, to choose between two
evils, announced that he had decided
to support Adams. But Clay's deter
mination no sooner became known
than some of Jacksons friends at
tempted to drive him from it. The
weapon used for this purpose recalls
one of the most discreditable Incl
dents in our political history.
A few days before the time set for
the election in the House letter APP
peared in Philadelphia newspaper,
asserting that Clay had agreed to sup
port Adams upon condition that he be
made Secretary of State. The same
terms, the letter alleged, had been Of
fered to Jackson's friends; but none
of them would descend to such mean
barter and sale" The letter was
anonymous, but purported to be writ
ten by a member of the House. Clay
Mt once published card, in which he
pronounced the writer "a bastard and
a liar" who, If he dared avow his
name, would forthwith be called to
the field. Two days later the letter
was acknowledged by witless men,
Der from Pennsylvania, Kremer by
name, who asserted that the state
ments he had made were true, and
that he was ready to prove them. A
duel with such a character was out
of the question. Something, however,
had to be done, and Clay Immediately
demanded an investigation by spe-
cial committee of the House. Such a
committee was duly selected. None
of its members had supported Clay for
the presidency. Kremer promptly de-
clared his willingness to meet the in
quiry, but in the end the committee
reported that he had declined to APP
pear before 1t, sending instead a COM
munication in which he denied the
power of the House to compel him TO
testify. No further action was taken,
and in this shape, for the time being,
the matter rested.
Soon, however. came the election of
Adams by the House, followed quickly
by his appointment of Clay as his Sec
rotary of State. Though 1t is now
generally acknowledged that there
has been no bargain between Adams
and Clay, it was natural that, at the
moment, the rank and file of Jack
sons following should regard Clay
appointment as conclusive proof that
such deal had been made. BY &C.
cepting 1t Clay made himself the vic.
tim of circumstantial evidence. AS

Goat Meat and Kid Meat.

A circular of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture says: While
it is generally agreed among those
who speak from experience that the
kids Of all breeds of goats are deli
cacy, it is true that among the great
mass Of the people of this country
there is a prejudice against anything
bearing the name of goat" Within
the environments of all of the larger
cities are found many kids, and it is
evident that only few of them grow
to maturity. What becomes of them?
Butchers and meat. dealers answer
the question by saying that they pass
over their blocks as lamb" No meat
dealer has heard of complaint of the
quality Of such lamb" A consider
able number of mature common goats
are purchased by the packing houses
Of the larger cities. They are pur-
chased as goats and sold, either in
the carcass or canned, as mutton; and
many who decry goat meat have I'M
consciously eaten it many times no
doubt. This does not mean that the
IL,
but it may be as good as poor mutton,
and SO the consumers criticism con-
Germs the quality and not the kind.
The flesh Of any mature common goat
is not palatable to most persons who
have tasted it. This is due to the
strong taste, and, to some extent, to
its toughness. Proper care in dress
ing would probably mitigate IL not en-
tirely prevent the strong taste, and
feeding on grain would tend to pro.
duce a more tender carcass. Both
these points, however, will hardly re-
ceive attention from anyone who may
contemplate going into the industry,
for the reason that they will add ma
terially to the cost of production. The
excellent quality of the kid meat has
already been mentioned. 1t Is safe
to say that the existing prejudice
against 1t would disappear If people
were to test it, and in time a good
market ought to be built up for all
that can be produced. However, the
question arises, VIII it pay to raise
common goats for the sale OF kids?
The farmer will have to determine
this matter for himself. If a ready
market were established for the kids
ut, say, $3.50 each, and If one doe can
raise three or four kids annually, 1t
can hardly be doubted that the indus
try could be made profitable, At this
time no such market exists.

litical annals Everything that rancor-
Gus partisan intention could concoct
was spread broadcast by the Jackson
journals; nor were Clay and Adams
the sole objects of the storm of SLAM
der. Charges of the most infamous
character were made against Jackson,
and inhamed his animosity against
Adams and Clay to degree that APP
preached insanity. Jackson believed
Clay capable Of anything of which the
latter could be accused, and he him
self gave currency to the bargain and
corruption cry which was printed,
placarded and harped upon throughout
the land Clay, on the other hand, was
unable on the stump to assume the
line of dignifed refutation; and his
language, losing all restraint, became
tie vehicle of raving wrath. The re-
suit of the contest was signal tri-

Rice HuIls In Stock Feed.

Mention was made in our last report
of the experiments then being con.
Quoted Of determining the digestibility
of rice bran and polish. These exper.
iments were brought to a successful
conclusion and the results embodied in
Bulletin No. II, just issued. A fact
was brought out in these experiments
which was not sought, because it was
not suspected. 1t was valuable reve-
lation, however, and the strong hand
of the law may be invoked to sup
press its future existence. 1t was
found that it was common custom
of the rice mills in this state to grind
up the hulls of the rice and mix the
same with the bran. In many in
stances this adulteration reached 80
per cent of the total feed. BY the new
process Of milling rice it is claimed
that small quantity of hulls neces-
sarily finds it's way into the bran, but
so large quantity as so per cent can
only be accounted for by mixing Of
the two with the intention of fraud
Rice hulls are not only of no nutritive
value, but absolutely injurious from
a physiological standpoint, greatly in.

Good and Bad FEEDING.

Presenting that a breeder has swine
of first quality the feeding becomes a
question of great Importance. 1t is
often remarked that this and that
breeder failed because he bought ami.
mails of fancy breeding points and
then gave them scrub care. This is
always fatal mistake. The pure
bred animals have received many
backsets in reputation from this
cause. Take any OF our best strains OF
hogs and let them be turned into a
poor feed lot and be given little grass
and much corn. A few generations OF
that kind of feeding w!u give us q
scrub progeny with good set of pedi.
grees. That is a case where the pedi-
gree is worth less than nothing. II is
not enough to know that an animal
has a good line Of ancestors; It Is
necessary also to know how its Inn.

umph for Jackson. Even Kentucky,
Clay's own state, went against him,
and Adams retired in the shadow of
deep humiliation. Four years later,
when Clay himself was candidate
against Jackson, he received but forty
nine out of 2S6 electoral votes.
In 1880 the unrelenting animosity of
Henry b. Payne alone prevented Allen
G. Thurman from being made the
nominee of the democratic national
convention. In 1857 Payne was a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
