Poverty Not Due To Nature.

The absurdity of, the attempt as yet to
measure the power of subsistence and to
declare it to be limited can be demon
strated in two or three simple ways suit
able to the use of statistician like my
self. First, no man yet knows the pro-
ductive capacity of asingle acre of land
anywhere in respect to food; second, the
whole existing population of the globe,
estimated at I,4oo, ooo, 900 persons, could
find comfortable standing room within
the limit of field ten miles square. The
land capable of producing wheat is not
occupied to anything like one-twentieth
of its extent. We can raise grain enough
on small part of the territory of the
United States to feed the world.-Ed-
ward Atkinson.

A comparison of the vote of the demo-
cratic and the republican parties at the
primaries held in Hartford county on Sep
TENDER 9th is interesting. The Crawford
county system was put in operation for
the first time by the democrats, whereby
the nominations are made by direct vote,
the candidates receiving the highest num-
Der of ballots being declared the choice OF
the party and their names placed upon
the ticket to be voted for at the election
in November.
ta The republicans held their primaries at
the same time but stuck to the old method
of voting for delegates, these delegates
later assembling in county convention
and naming cut and dried ticket, slated
by the bosses.
The popularity of the direct vote system
over the delegate system was demonstrated
at the Hartford county primaries, when
5000 democrats went to the polls and voted
for the candidates OF their choice, while
but ITO republicans thought it worth while
to vote for their delegates, who would
later do the bidding of the bosses in the
placing in nomination of ticket, with
out regard to the wishes of the people.
The new law is an improvement over
the old primary system but that it has
some glaring defect is evident from the
comments of the Hartford Democrat,
which says
"The new primary election law in use
for the first time this year stood the test
fairly we'll. All that was hoped for was
not accomplished but can be accomplished
by proper amendments either of the Law
or rules adopted for the government o.
the primaries. The voter obtained hi:
ticket, took it from the polling room
marked it as he or his adviser desired and
returned it to the judges in sight of al
who desired to see it. One of the objects
tof the primary law was to prevent brib
ery. If the candidate or his friend car
mark the voters ticket and follow him Il
the ballot box and see it deposited, the
Identification is complete and the voter
can claim his reward. To remove as fai
as possible bribing from the polling room
the law can be amended requiring the
voter to mark aud deposit his ballot with
out leaving the room as he is now required
to do at the general election. There are
other defects, not so glaring, and with the
present law as basis a measure can be
perfected and passed by the next Legis
lature that will place our primaries be.

THE PROFITABLE PoRkER.
Costs Less 20 Raise Spring Pigs Than
Those OF other Seasons.

| Costs Less to Raise Spring Pigs Than
| Those OF Other seasons.
The cost OF the pig In growing 1t sue
cessfully into matured porker is the
topic OF interest TO the hog raiser. This
Involves the question OF when the pig
should be farrowed to most probably
meet this end. The summer pig, the
fall pig and the winter pig all have
their drawbacks and hindrances in hog
development at one end or the other OF
their existence. The American Swine
herd in discussing this subject refers to
the claim, made by the Indiana ex-
pertinent station, that pigs narrowed In
March, April and May are best for
proftably converting into pork. 1t il
late enough to usually avoid the severe
them to be grown during the summer
season and fattened before winter sets
in
1t offers an opportunity TO have the
pigs do their growing during that sea
son OF the year when grass or pasture
Is In condition to be used. They can
actually be reared at less cost than
during any other period Of the year.
1t is possible to plant green spring
crops that will furnish cheap feed for
the litters and sows and do much to-
ward promoting the development Of
bone and flesh
From experience OF feeders at the
experiment stations the pig Increases
with great profit until six or seven
maximum. After that the pigs re-
quire a larger amount OF grain to pro-
ducs a given amount Of pork, and they
should be fattened and disposed of.
One bushel Of corn made 13 IS
pounds OF pork at six months old; at
seven months old, one bushel made 1872
pounds, and eight months old one bush
ell made 1916 pounds.
While there are varying conditions
that have their influence upon tho
amount Of gain made, 1t 10 q general
principle that after six or seven
months the amount OF gain from
bushel Of cornis on decreasing scale.
These gains do not come up to the
ones that have been secured by indi-
viduals. 1t may have been partially
in the quality of the pigs, as there Is a
great deal of characteristics of certain
animals. We have farmers who have
sows and bears that they can scarce
ly feed little enough to keep them
from getting too fat, they have such a
propensity Of assimilation, which is
out of all proportion compared with
others.

CURLS THAT LAST.
A Method That Gives Results That
Defy Climatic Conditions

A Method That Gives Results That
Defy Climatic Conditions.
Here Is one woman's secret method
Of curling her hair so that 1t remains
FUZZY and wavy In spite OF any climate.
Even humidity or salt air, it is claimed,
does not affect hair so treated.
The method consists In the use of a
simple egg wash and the doing up of
the hair In peculiar manner before
rolling 1t around the Kid rollers.
The white of one egg Is stirred slight
ly, but not beaten or separated in any
way. This liquid Is then diluted with
though soft water of any sort may be
used, with a few drops of any favorite
perfume, to give the hair delicate
odor. One-thlrd as much water as
white Of an egg are the proportions CIV
en-, and this should be kept in a small,
wide mouthed jar upon Ice, IL possible,
where 1t will keep for week or until
1t is all used. When not In use the kid
rollers should be kept In a sachet, rath-
er strongly scented.
At night the hair that Is to be waved
Is parted from the back hair and the
latter rolled up out of the way. Mols-
ten comb repeatedly and draw it
through the hair to be curled until 1t Is
thoroughly damp, then divide the hair
into strands, and before winding each
strand around the curler twist 1t round
and round tightly, then roll 1t round
and round the curler 1t is the first
twisting before wrapping 1t around the
curler that makes the peculiar fuff1ness
that is so much desired. The wrapping
1t around the kid roller makes 1t wave,
and the egg wash causes IL to retain
the fiuffiness.
The curl given by this method is most
natural, and If the fluffiness Is not de-
sired plain wave Is made by merely
wrapping the hair about the kid roller
as usual, emitting the twisting descrLb-
ed above. This sort of wave will last
for two or three weeks

Holding on tho sly her hand,
You may dream you are In heaven,
STEPPED In rapture to the neck,
But you drop at once from cloudland
When the walter brings the check.
Music from the dreamy fiddle
Softly floats upon the air,
Bringing gladness as it's message.
Softenins the voice OF care,
Touching as with mystic fingers
Every strained and Earring fleck,
But it's all off for the evening
When the waiter brings the check.

Commonplace as the price;
Sailing down the sea OF romance,

Your good vessel bumps the bottom

Sitting In a summer garden
Can devour what two men brfngt

When the girl has had sufficient
