IDEAL TYPE OF HOG.
Every Breeder Should Set Up a Stand.
ard of His Own and Work Up
to 1t C0nsistently.

In visiting many herds and docks
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact that there is no uniformity
of type in them. Each man has all sorts
of types and kinds in his herd or flock,
says Prof. G. E. Day. of Guelph. The
result is that they breed up flock or
herd that will never lie of any use IN
the country Each young breeder, and
old one, too, for that matter, mus- find
out what is the right type; then set
this up as an ideal and work to it. You
cannot reach your ideal at once. 1t
may take ten, fifteen, twenty or even
forty years to do SO, and perhaps you
before you, never lose sight of it for
an instant. nor let anything else drive
it away. You will find that the man
who makes success of breeding is he
who sticks to his ideal with, as it were,
a bulldog tenacity, and though he may
not become famous, he will at least
make a name for himself in his sphere
OF life. would emphasize the impor-
lance of getting the right type fixed in
ones mind as an ideal There is a type
of hog that gives the best bacon, and
if the production of bacon hogs is the
ideal man has set up for himself, then
he should get as near to the ideal type
as possible. Some breeds of hogs come
much nearer that type than others. In
judging of the length of hog it is not
enough that he should be long from the
nose to the tail, but it is of special inn
portance that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. have heard some
people say that it costs more to pro-
duce the bacon type of hog than the fat
Kind. want to give you this for your
encouragement-it has never been
proved that it does cost more. Our ex-
reriments show very conclusively that
il does not necessarily cost more to pro-
duce pound of gain in a good bacon
hog than in fat hog, and that good
bacon hog is an economical producer.

afterwards put on, from sitting

They are made in two rows, foot or

Birch bark, or some other inflammable

THE PARTISAN WAsHERwoMAN
From Her Chic and Gay Appearance
No One Would Associate
Her with Suds.

Among the working classes in Paris
there is no more coquettsh member than
the jaunty little washerwoman, the
"blanClisseuse Parisi- me-" says a
Paris correspondence OF the New York
World. She carries her basket on her
arm or her bundle swung over her Shout
der in the ARREST way as she trips along,
and to see her one would never associ-
ate her with soap and suds. She is al
ways fair-headed, but with her hair
done up and befrizzled in the most be-
witching modish fashion, and nearly
always she wears Smart" cheap lit
tie costume in good taste and very be-
coming. with ribbon or bit of tulle
stuck somewhere as finishing attrac-
ton
She may wash out or burn out ones
clothes in trice, but she is the airiest,
most obliging little person in her talk
imaginable. She knows how to explain
in the most plausible, polite fashion for
ones not having received clothes on the
day asked for.
In the ironing room she looks as fresh
as rose. She bends over the ironing
board with little song on her lips,
and keeps half an eye on the street door
for passing filtration. In the window
there is always c bouquet of flowers, and
frequently sleek cat curled up. On
the wall hangs some very gay little IL
Illustrated calendar. Sometimes plas-
ter Punchinello sits upon the shelf.
Very often a canary hangs in the front
shop window and chirps while the lit
tic washerwoman sings to the brisk
movement of her iron.
1t is easy enough to associate the Par
isian washerwoman with romance.
There is no hint of soapy red elbows
about her. The washing all appears to
be done sub rosa. and she looks as If she
were always on dress parade. In fact,
there is no end of small Paris amourets
in which the washerwoman plays one
OF the principal parts. In the Latin
quarter it frequently happens that a
pasSerby in the street sees student OF
the Sorbonne flirting over his linen with
'ne "aenYi VI IL III lhe llttAe iouAiui ieS
that abound in the quarter.
AS a rule the blanchisseuse does not
envy the sewing girl her lot. She is
much more care free, sings more, and
has a greater number of opportunities
to trot the street basket on arm. f1inging
bright. malicious glances or bons mots
at her male acquaintance as she trips
along in her high-heeled shoes. The
Partisan washerwoman is one of the dis
tinctive types of the city, understanding
perfectly what it is to be "chic" and
gay on few sous.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Eighty.two Smiths have served in the
lower house of the congress Of the United
States.
OF the 800 members of the house Of
representatives 257 are lawyers; then
there are manufacturers, 10; journal
lists, 16; bankers. IS; merchants, 5. and
the rest in varied occupations.
Congressman Warnock, OF Ohio. is one
of the largest cattlemen in his state.
owning several fine farms In Champaign
county, all well stocked with cattle. In
these properties he has invested the
profits of twenty years law practice and
ten years on the bench. The judge IS
reckoned one of the shrewdest cattle
buyers to be found anywhere.
Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
recently received a telegram from the
president of dancing class up IN the
woods Of Wisconsin asking whether the
president wears a rundown collar with
his evening clothes. Il don't know,
Representative Cooper wired back.
Find out" came back telegram reply,
"for If he does we can't support him.
Thomas w. Hardwick, of the Tenth
Georgia district, is the pigmy OF the
house, standing but feet inch in his
high-heeled shoes, and weighing. 1O7
pounds. When seated in the house his
toes just touch the floor and his head is
barely visible above the desk in front.
Besides being quite diminutive he is
very youthful in appearance, looking
considerably younger than his 81 years.
Mr.. Hardwick has, however, a vast
amount of energy and determination
and it is probable that he has a long
congressional career ahead of him.

CONSTRUCTION OF PIT.

hand and thrust INTO the aperature,
then the whole covered as before. The
boy in Fig. / IS evidently chopping
these pieces of wood. Behind him is
a pit which has been burning for some
time.
After the pit has been burning for a
week or ten Gays (hard wood requires
a longer time than does pine), The pro
cess Of drawing" the coal begins. OF
course the pit has settled, so that it
now is nowhere near its former size
The 'coalers" with large rakes, draw
the coal into concentric circles, foot
or two apart The object of this is
to allow the fire to burn entirely out
of the coal, and it must be watched as
closely as before; in fact, it must be
watched all night. Buckets OF water
are kept on hand and from time to
time the liquid IS used to extinguish
fire. After the coal is cooled thor
oughly it is placed in a rough shelter
made of logs or other coarse material.
For this purpose utensil in shape
like a huge dusIpan is employed. Now
the coal is ready to be marketed. In
olden times it used to be cried through
the streets, and sold from house to
house, or carried directly in large
wagonloads to Nevburyport or Ports
mouth. Now it is more frequently
sent By carloads. ''Coaling' is quite
q profitable business. The average pit
yields about 1000 bushels, and this is
sold for from Is to 20 cents per
bushel, according to the quality OF the
coal. Sometimes it is sold by the cord.
Alder makes the best coal for forging
as it gives an even heat. Hemlock Is
liked the least, because of it's ten
dency to snap. Charcoal burners are
very happy set of men. At night
the camp rings with mirth and jol-
lily. Stories are told, songs sung,
and when one is hungry eggs are
boiled potatoes ana corn roasted, and
occasionally in the day time the woods
are foraged for toothsome gray SPUR
rels or partridges.-M. O. Poore, in
Rural New Yorker.

CORN FEED PROBLEM.
1t Cannot BE Ignored Any Longer by
Swine Raisers Who Are Try
ing to Do Well.

A dozen years ago the farmers of the
corn belt that were engaged in the
raising of hogs would consider no other
feed tor swine except corn. They be-
gan to feed the pigs corn about as
soon as they were weaned and contin-
ued to feed them corn till they were
butchered. Corn was very cheap then
except in occasional years when there
was a partial corn crop failure. In
those days corn was not only cheap, but
freight rates were high and it cost a
great deal to get the corn to market.
There was saving to the producer in
marketing his corn crop in the shape of
pork. Since that time there has been
a great change in the position of corn
relative to oats and other grains. There
are many commercial uses to which
corn is now put that formerly were not
dreamed nf. 1t now seems likely that
the general average of corn prices will
rise from year to year, responsive to the
increasing demand and the restrictive
area of country in which corn can be
grown. The future is likely to see the
Dat and barley crops more largely used
in the finishing of swine than is
dreamed of at the present time. At any
rate we are about at the end of feed
ing pigs on q whole corn diet. We can-
not now figure out profit with such
course Of feeding. For a long time yet
hogs that do not follow cattle will be
finished on corn, but we may expect
to see that finishing period grow con-

PRETTY SMART DOG.
That Is, II He Did What HIS Owner
Claimed for Him, and No
Mistake.

''ITou can talk about intelligent ami
mails said Hon. ]. Cheerful Layer, of
Puato Perdido county, although the
conversation had never touched upon
anything less than man, relates the New
Orleans Times-Democrat,' but my dog
Mex wss probably the most sagacious
brc!e that ever caused human being
to grow doubts regarding his superior
ity. Mex was half-wolf, and very foxy.
| bought him from the same Mexican
who was hanged three times without
success owing to the extraordinary con-
formation of the Adams apple in his
throat, which he could initiate when the
rope was placed around it and reduce
when the drop occurred, at which time
he would be dangling by the chin instead
of the backbone. A more beautiful
creature than Mex mean the dog
could scarcely be imagined. His tail
for instance, was three feet long, and
bushier than that of .stall-fed pony.
And, as I've stated, he had more sense
than any justice of the peace.
Volume after volume would not be
equal to complete the biography of the
dog. / shall content myself with relat-
ing n single, absolutely unyarnished an
ecdo.e Of Mex's puppyhood. Understand
this occurrence took place between the
third and fifth month of his existence.
when / had first adopted him l al
lowed Mex to sleep on my bed. But he
grew rapidly. and had no desire to spoil
him. and SO Consigned him to mat on
the floor.
.eThe softness of my couch suited him
better. however, and was obliged to
chastise him to keep him from it. Yet,
when I came home next night | found
a warm place, slightly hollow, on the
blanket, while Mex, from his mat under
the bed, greeted me by pounding the
floor with his tail in suspiciously en-
thusiastic manner. Wherefore
whipped him again, soundly.
From that time on. to my great salts
faction. my bed did not show any further
signs of canine occupancy. My conf
dence in Mex's honesty grew to beauti-
full proportions until
\ aOne night came home Is minutes
earlier than my usual hour. which was
half-past II. AS it had been raining,
and my boots were muddy. took them
,or at the outer door, entered the house
on my stocking feet, opened the door of
INV room. and found:
| MEX standing on my bed, smoothing
ont the hollow and wrinkles OF the blan-
ket where he had been reclining, with
ali four of his paws-Gt was a regular
Itreadmill effectD-and at the same time
tanning the place still warm from the
contact of his body with his great bushy
tail so as to cool it oil against his mas
tiers arrival
