Feeding Young Pigs.

If young pigs shortly after weaving
or Immediately after weaving are fed
an excess of corn they will make rapid
development for short time and will
become fat, but the growth will event
ually be hindered so that when the
usual age Is reached for marketing
such pigs they will not be nearly as
large as IL they had been fed more
protein during the months immediate
ly following weaving.
Another great evil resulting from
excessive corn feeding is found IL Tx
deteriorating influence which it exerts
on constitution. Being deficient in pro-
tein, the tendency is eventually to re-
duce size; being deficient in ash, II
tends to reduce too much the size of
bone. 1t also results in general
weakening of the pigs system and
makes the animal fall an easier prey
to disease, Farmer.

Webster 9-Aberdeen 3.

The Webster baseball team went mp

deem and the gentlemen of that city
began to place their money. The Web
ster boys were backed by travelling men
who thought they were backing the
aggregation that played here last year,
and they took every bet that was offered
The last few innings of the game
showed that their Judgment was good
for the Webster boys punched few
hits clinched the game.
On the 18th of May a game was
played at Bristol between these two
teams which resulted in victory for
Aberdeen and this game meant much
10 either team.
The game started with Aberdeen at
the bat and they started the sheet with
2 scores. This was their best until the
their grand total 3. The rest of their
half of the game looked like butchers
sign Webster waited until the third
inning to tie the score when they made
two; repeated the dose in the fifth,
leading by one.
Had this score q to u been the final
score of the. game il would have been a
much better game from fans stand
point, but, like most games there comes
that fatal inning. 1t struck in the
eighth with Webster at the bat
Sheldon and Haugen made pan when
Jewell Egeland was given first on a
dead ball forcing Sheldon to third and
Haugen to second. 1t was here that
Aberdeen learned that the ball held on
the home pan is the safest plan when
three such men occupy bases. Jewell
made a dash for second and the Aber-
deem stretched their ability and saw
visions of double or triple play and at
once proceeded to make the play.
When the dust had cleared away and
an invoice wis taken the score book
showed: Jewell on second, Haugen on
third and Sheldon score Before they
had time to get their places Jewell
made dash for third and there was a
commotion that sounded and looked
like sham battle. Haugen scored and
Jewell made third. Webster made 4
runs making total of 8 runs
Jewell pitched good game and with
Harrison behind the bat with big NIT
made a strong battery. Sheldon held
the first pan and played his end Sig

GROOMING HORSES.
Their Well BEING Requires That the
skin BE Kept Clean.

SkAh nc Acpt Sheans
The skin Of horse, like that OF 9TH
er animals, is mass of excretory
organs. supplied with innumerable
pores, which. If kept open. a constant
flow of watery fiuid discharges. carry
ing Oh the effete waste material which
has performed it's proper function IN
the maintenance Of the body. The
epidermis also is composed Of an in
finite number Of glands which con-
stantly pour an oily secretion to the
surface, which is essential to keeping
the skin flexible as well as furnishing
the necessary nourishment for the hair
to keep 1t soft and glossy.
Ii will not do, therefore, for these
pores to get clogged. for In that case
the skin would soon become dry. rough,
hard and diseased, nor is there much
danger Of it except when the horse is
hard at work. Then the secretion Of
watery nuid is heavier than when the
animal is idle. and If the sweat is al
lowed to dry on the skin dust will &C.
cumulate, mixing with It, and II not
a result the skin will not only become
diseased. but the whole system more
or less deranged. The impurities, un-
able to escape through the skin, will
accumulate in different places and give
rise to blisters, which, if neglected,
may lead to blood poisoning or some
thing else nearly as bad.
BY regular. thorough grooming, how
ever, all this will be prevented. the
pores kept open and a healthier,
thriftier condition of the animal main
tanned. A horse having thick, tough
skin will endure tolerably sharp cur
rycomb. which, used on another with a
thin. tender skin, would be positive
cruelty Whatever accumulations of
dirt may be on the hair after the use
Of the currycomb thorough cleaning
out of the skin should follow by the
aid of a good brush

This Is the Age of Opportunity For

One of the many hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent decay of the
breed of so called great men, those
mighty personalities that in former
times stood out like solitary tree In a
vast prairie. The reason for it, of
course, is the distinction Of all those
old time monopolies OF brains which
stunted all human beings except few
who by chance rather than by superb
GRITTY of fiber grew and developed.
There are thousands. literally thou
sands, of men now living who If they
had lived a century or so ago aud had
done work similar to that which they
are doing without any very sonorous
fanfare upon the trumpets Of fame
would have been the talk Of the world
and the main topic of history. And
how many OF the so called great
achievements Of so called great states

times would be impossible today be
cause those achievements depended
chiefly upon the Ignorance and incapac-
ity of the Overwhelming mass OF the
