THE BREED AND THE FAILURE

THE BREED AND THE FAILURE
In gong into the breeding of hogs
for pork-making the breed is not so
important as that the breeder gets
the kind that suits his prejudices
best, says New York Farmer. This
Is because he is more likely to take
care of a breed he likes than of one
he does not fancy.
This accounts largely for one man
| making a success of one breed and a
| failure of another. One swine-raiser
says that the better the breed OF
hogs, the better care will have to be
given them, and that is correct.
The old razor-back of our ancestors
needed little or no care. He could
| take care of himself, when the snow
did not cover the ground or the frost
render it too hard to be plowed VI
by MS persistent snout.
With the great improvement in
breeds we have animals that make
more delicious, more edible pork
while the care they need is increased
in proportion. The man who mas been
brought up on farm where the old
scrub variety of hog has been raised
is more than likely to try to give the
improved breed scrub care.
If the highly-developed Poland
China Is left to rustic, for his food
in the rootfield or hunt acorns in
the woods. he will give very poor re
turns indeed, even if he does not con
clude to lie down and die of chagrin.
He hasn't the activity necessary to
enable him TO make comfortable liv-
ing if left alone with nature.
He is the survival of the f1ttesl
only when he mas man to pamper
him. There are a good many hired
men brought up on farms where the
nogs were of the long-limbed, hardy
type, and they have It firmly fixed
| in their minds that the hog has nc
need of the excessive care the i'm
proved hog receives.
This will account for good many
of the failures hired men make as
carers of swine. The raising and
feeding Of improved swine is trade
that has to be learned, and the earlier
the boy commences the better fol
him and for the swine that are to
come under his care

The High Tide at Gettysburg.

A cloud possessed the hollow field.
The gathering battles smoky shield;
Athwart the gloom the lightning fash

And through the cloud some horsemen
dashed,
And from the nights the thunder
pealed.

Two of the worlds interesting man. mals have lately become extinct with out attracting attention. An English naturalist points out that the great straight-horned race of the Indian buff falo. which was occasionally met with fifty or sixty years ago, Is no longer known. The other vanished form is the wolf Of the Falkland Islands, a type of considerable importance, which seems to have been exterminated by strycrnine about thirty years ago.

somewhere near the boundary of that sister republic. controversy as to whether Mir. Mckinley might properly cross the Mexican line, even for few hours. arose. Early in May. when he visited Fl Paso, Tex, where he was greeted by President DiaZ's personal representative, he expressed q desire to take a look into Mexico.
 From Fl Paso there extends into Mex leo the International bridge spanning that Rio Grande. Whether the Presi- dent would dare to cross this structure or not was the question which members of his party asked one another. He did not. He went to the bridge and caught a view of the Sierre Madre. Half-way across the bridge was a line. Stepping over this was putting foot upon Mexican territory.
 President Harrison had ventured as far as this line ten years before. But President Mckinley did not so much as place his foot upon the bridge. Pres ident Arthur was accused of violating this unwritten law in October, 1883, upon a pleasure trip to Alexandria Bay. Thousand Islands. His political ene- mics accused him then of venturing across the Canadian line on fishing excursion. The boundary between Canada and New York extends to the middle of the St. Lawrence River.
 President Cleveland was similar &C., cused On one of his hunting trips to North Carolina he sailed by the ocean route past Cape Hatteras. His enemies contended that he ventared outside the three-mile limit. According to inter

Walk, Don't Ride.

Doctors who have closely studied the matter unhesitatingly assert that walk ing is the best exercise a woman can engage in for the development of her physical charms.
 The woman who is the habit of talk ing car ride every time she wishes to travel a few hundred yards is the one who mas bad complexion and tell you that her spine troubles her. and that her feet are rheumatic: thai she cannot walk-positiveIy must not do so. v
 If you are among the number take n walk every day, give up the car habit. unless you have some real ridingg to do CT time is an object, and every day walk a little farther, says "Woman's Life"
 An excellent thing is exercise, and if you do not find walking agrees with you then take to the gymnasium. Ar ter you have tried all the indoor phy- sical exercises try the open-air ones.

The economy of high-pressure steam has been demonstrated on French To- comotives. From experiments on five types of engines during three years, J. Modal has found that variations of speed from twenty-five to sixty miles an hour have little effect upon the steam consumption per horsepower: but that the consumption of 21 to 22 pounds per horsepower hour with a boiler pressure of 200 to 21S pounds per square inch rises to 25 to 26.5 pounds with a pressure of 100 to 12S pounds.

The calorific values of various fuels used tn internal combustion engines have been compared by L. Levi, French engineer with these results In British thermal units per pound: Methylated alcohol, 10,620; a mixture of equal parts of methylated alcohol and gasoline, 14.200: crude American oil, 19.Ss0. With unmixed alcohol, a little warming of the carbureter before start ing Is necessary on account of the slow vaporizatlon of the spirit below 6S de- grees F. The principal objection to the use of alcohol, however, Is its cost, which. to compete with gasoline, should be about 20 cents a gallon, or half the present value in France. The alcohol motor is rapidly gaining popularity fin Germany, where methylated alcohol can be had for about IS cents.
