The Joy of Working.

1t is better to lose health like a spendthrift
than to waste it like miser. It is better to live
and be done with it, than to die daily in the sick
room. By all means begin your folio; even if the
doctor does not give you year, even if he hesi-
tates about a month, make brave push and
see what can be accomplished in week. It is not
only in finished undertakings that we ought to
honor useful labor. A spirit goes out of the
man who means execution, which outlives the
most untimely ending. All who have meant good
work with their whole hearts have done good work.
although they may die before they have time to
sign it. Every heart that has beat strong and
cheerfully has left hopeful impulse behind it in
the world, and bettered the traditions of mankind.

Winter Coming On.

Winter white is coming on,
And love his coming;
What though winds the fields have shorn,
What though earth is half forlorn,
Not a berry on the thorn
Not an insect humming?
Pleasure never can be dead;
Beauty cannot hide her head!
Look In what fantastic showers
The snow filings down her feather flowers,
Or whirls about in frantic glee,
Kissing it's love, the holly tree.
Behold The sun himself comes forth,
And sends his beams from south to north
To diamonds turns the winter rime,
And lends a glory to the time!
Such days, when old friends meet together,
Are worth a score of mere spring weather!

hogs will respond by giving you quarter or halt
pound more growth each day.
And another thing about these fattening hogs :
[ would not feed them too long. AS the hog
grows older and increases in size he increases in
weight and at increased cost in food. The
time that the hog pays best for selling purposes
or butchering purposes is somewhere between one
hundred and eighty and two hundred and fifty
rounds, live weight. We often read and hear
about fattening hogs until they weigh three or
four or five six hundred pounds. That is
not unusual at all. The only thing is that the
man who feeds the hog to that size has doubt
less fed more corn than the hog is worth. Such
hog is worth twenty-five or thirty dollars we
will say. He has eaten thirty dollars worth of
and other products. There would be a good
deal more profit in having two hogs, each weigh
ing two hundred and fifty pounds than one hog
weighing five hundred pounds, and it would take
less feed to bring these two hogs to the total of
five hundred pounds, than it would to bring a
single hog up to equivalent weight. This big
hog that weighs five hundred pounds would in
crease two more pounds day, and at six
cents per pound would gain an increase of fifteen
or twenty cents per day, but you should bear in
mind that it is likely to require twenty-five or
thirty cents per day to feed him to do that. Con-
sequently do not believe in the big hog It is
losing proposition to make him So and then his
meat is too fat I like the smaller hog with the
sweet juicy, feshy meat well marbled with fat and
lean that weighs between hundred and eighty
and two hundred pounds. That is not only the
most profitable hog from the standpoint of the
farmer who feeds him, but it is the most favora-
bic hog for the market demand
These few suggestions that are made here show
what big field the feeding of hogs opens up
am one of those who believes it takes more skill
to properly raise, feed and fatten hog than it
requires to treat cold, or plead a case before a
jury, or even to prepare a sermon for the pulpit
L really believe that the farmers business is one
of those that requires all Of the power and all
of the skill and culture that one can acquire to
make his business the power and success it de-

The Cleveland Stars suggestion in regard to
labelling rural mail boxes is good as far as it
goes, but it doesn't go far enough. You ought
to name your farm, and put the farm name as
well as your own on the box-"Oakwood Farm,

FATTENING HOGS.

as to make the winters meat It is not a ones
ton just now with those of us who have boos in
the feeding lot what breed they are, or what type
they are am confident that if you will make a
nItle test and observe the square set blocky ones
you VIII Ind that they will come to maturity a
great deal quicker and will weigh good deal
more, and consequently will be more profitable
than the leggy ones or long nose, coarse type Of
course, we are interested in the fattening of

How shall we do it is a constantly growing oues-
ton. If you had little rye patch and these hogs
had been permitted to run on this rye patch dur
ing the Fast month, you would be convinced of the
ease of fattening them and the rapid growth that
they would now have, on the finishing ration
whatever that may be. In fact sweet potato
patch, or an acorn patch would quickly prepare
the stockers for the feeding lot.
Now when the pigs go in the feeding lot what
shall they be fed? I suppose the old fashioned
way of having swill BARREL and in this swill bar
rel place the dish water, scraps from the table, |
sour milk. butter milk, excess of sweet milk and
some middlings or bran is the most common way
of looking after these hogs And it is a good |
way too. This combinatin of scrappings and |
materials for the hogs. Now some corn is given
them when they go in the feeding lot, and in con-
nection with this swill barrel stuff is utilized.
rapid gain will follow. Those of us who do not
have these various kinds of milk products will
have to look to something else to furnish the
same. And know of nothing better than wheat
middlings to supply this. In some of the West
States they are using tankage Gone of the
by-products of the slaughtering house and the
common material that goes in the fertilizers) as
profitable means of furnishing muscle-making
material, and quick growth in the hog. 1t has
been found that In feeding, say ten pounds of ma
terial eight pounds of and two pounds of
tankage, make far more satisfactory ration than
ten pounds of alone. Now for home
supply might not be interested in getting
tankage, but get some middlings, and use
these middlngs with water to make slop
out of them, or we put the middlings in the
swll barrel and mix them up with the scrapings
from the table or kitchen; we give of
this each day to the hogs, and ground corn
for the remaining part of the ration
Previous to the fattening period, we believe in
exercise for the pig. If he has small pasture
to forage over either of clover peas or
rye or bermuda, whatever it is, he will respond
quickly to such treatment and fatten more read
iy when he goes into the feeding lot. The last
four or six weeks of feeding I think the hogs
should be put in small pens where they can be
Quiet and where they cannot have too much eX-
ercise so as to use up all of the food they have
eaten Now I think the feeding pen should be
kent as clean as possible. I do not agree with

This being the season of year when nearly
every reader of The Progressive Farmer and Cot
ton Plant is fattening some hogs with the inten-
tion of killing them before Christmas we are es-
pecally fortunate in having this week two articles
of rare value and timeliness-Dr. Burkett's edito-
rial on "Fattening Hogs" and Mr.. T. X. Bruner's
illustrated paper "Killing Hogs for Bacon"
Dr. Burkett's article should be read at once, and
no farmer should kill another hog before reading
Mr.. Bruners. His suggestions as to the profits
in properly-made sausage, souse and head cheese
ought to prove helpful to all readers within reach
of town markets.

sperty. Harry Raymond, upon the di:- charge of Mennis, received his fees as a restrained witness since April, and after declaring that Deputy-marshal George Dreibelbis was his particular friend, proceeded to Circle City. At Circle Raymond sand-bagged and rob- bed 8 man; was arrested, tried before the commissioner, and sentenced to ei Int months imprisonment. Raymond immediately broke jail at Circle, and coming direct to Rampant, favored his friend, Deputy-marshal George Drei- belbis, with his patronage as a govern ment boarder for eight months, at $3 per day. Deputy George Dreibelbis re- ceived $1400, from the government, for boarding Mennis and Raymond, during this official four act drama. The facts peraining to our corrupt administration as published by the FORUM, are true acts of public officials, and as such be- long to the people. They are published for the purpose of showing the incon potency of such officials, and the in portance of their not being retained in office.
 The people at large, upon becoming familiar with Judge Wickerham's re- gime in this division, can judge for themselves as to the justice of the filing of protest against his re-appointment. When public officials practice corrup tin, they soon weave. about themse!>- es network of infanay detrimental to the interests of all law-respecting men.
Alaska forum., 1904-12-03

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1904.
 JUDGE WICKERsHAM has in many ways shown his disqualifcations for the po- sition of judge of the district court. The mere fact of possessing good ed ucation, an eloquent flow of language, and political pull, should not fully qualify man for such responsible position. A righteous judge would not use his judicial power to trample jus- tice and the peoples rights under foot. A virtuous judge would not prostitute the office to satisfy the filthy desires of a corrupt political mind. Judge Wick ersham demonstrated how his political and financial desires influence and con- trol his actions. by his attempted man- ipulation of the last Federal grand-j jury at Rampant. This mode aof procedure to protect corruption existing among his appointees and henchmen, could not reflect credit on any man. The part played by Deputy-marshal George Drei- belbis, in this act, publicly places that corrupt official where he, properly be- longs.
 The eloquent speech made by Judge Wickersham to that grand-jury, when he presented to them the affidavits filed in the District court against Commits sioner J. Lindley Green was a master ly effort. The people realized that the eioquence was for the purpose of creat- ing favorable impression on the sen ators who were present at the time. The members of the senate committee, later on, became acquainted with some of Judge Wickersham's s treachery. As an example of judicial misuse of power the following facts are given: In April { 1903, Jack Mennis and Harry Raymond alias Little, were arrested st Rampant, charged with the theft of gold-dust val ued at $1445 from the Eagle Mining Co at Glen gulch. The preliminary hear ing before the commissioner resulted in the charge against Mennis being sus-

ion of the grand jury under $2500 bonds, but being unable to furnish the bond, he was committed to jail.
 The charge against Raymond was dis missed, and he was held as a witness for the prosecution under $500 bonds Raymond was unable to fu1n sh the bond, so he also went to jail. The grand jury convened in July, 1903, and found true bill against Mennis. He was inn mediately tried, under this indictment, in the District court before trial jury The same evidence, verbatim, was in-. troduced at this trial, as was adduced before the commissioner and the grand jury. ThereNwas no evidence for the defense except the defendant state ment. After the testimony for both prosecution and defense had been heard by the jury and the court, Judge Wick ersham ordered the jury, without leav- ing the jury-box, or dehberating on the case, to choose one member to act as a foreman, and sign the verdict of not guilty" which the court had prepared. The jury hesitating to comply with the request, Judge Wickersham, calling on one of the jurors by name, ordered him to step forward and sign as forman the prepared verdict lying on the judges desk.
 The jnror stepped forward and signed as ordered. Judge Wickershan thenol- dered the defendant discharged from custody. Mennis upon gaining his lib- erty, secured the stolen gold-dust, with the aid of ar assistant, from where he had cached it, on the trail between Glen and Rampant. Then he proceeded to St. Michael, arriving there about the same time as Judge Wickersham. This cost the government $1200, and the re-. sidents of this precinct know the farci- cal judicial manipulation turned loose upon the people two educated criminals. If the actions of the commissioner and the grand-jury, in the Mennis case, were on the line of justice, why did not Judge Wickersham foster the cause by permitting the trial jnry to deliberate and return their. own verdict, in accurd- ance with the law and the evidence be- fore them? Because man is invested with judicial powers, is no reason why
