Chester. Whites
as Bacon Hogs

Robert Clark, Ottawa, Canada, writes
to the Farming World: have now
been In the hog business nine years
and after nine years experience have
come to the conclusion that In order to
make money out of the business 1t all
depends on Ave points-viz, the kind
OF hog you select for a grass hog, the
time you start the hog, the time you
sell the hog, the weight you make the
hog and how you produce 1t. After try
ing all kinds Of hogs on clover and grass
I found In my experience there was
none so good for that purpose as the
Chester White, and you can feed and
grow him to be Il select bacon hog II
you sell when he Is right. My expert
ence is there Ia more In feeding for
good bacon hog than there Is in breed
Ing, because you can spoil the best
bacon hog on earth by feeding.
I breed my hogs twice a year: first
litter comes In March. As they are all
registered hogs, L!sell them for breed
ing purposes. Then my rows are all
mated again for my own field hogs;
they come in August or the first of
September.

pork days in the year. Having no use
for the sows at this season Of the year,
leave the young pigs on the sows for
eight weeks, leaving me nine or ten
months to grow my bacon hog. 1t Is an
easy matter to grow a Chester White
hog, I'm good order, from 1870 to 100
pounds, in nine months. I commence
to feed roots as soon as 1 take the
pigs off the SOW and feed all winter,
and rs soon as the clover Is about three
inches high ring them and put them
out In the field. where they get one feed
a day Of dry grain, barley or mixed
corn and barley fed on the ground.
Barley and good sweet clover will
make bacon as sweet as chicken, and.
II you think you require little more
fat, after feeding one feed a day up to
July just give the Chester White the
second feed day, and In two weeks
you have select pig which commands
the highest price In the market.

FOR ALL WHO DIE.

FOR ALL WHO DIE.
1.-THE following poem was regarded by
Edgar Allen Poe as the most beautiful
and touching of lis kind in the English
language:]
II hath been said for all who die
There Is tear,
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
Der every bier;
But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who will be near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tearp
Who'll watch the fast departing ray
In deep despair,I
And soothe the spirit on it's way
With holy prayerp
What mourner round my couch will come
In words of woe,
And follow me to my long homo,
Solemn and slow?
When lying in my earthly bed
In icy sleep,
w no then, by pure affection led,
Will come and weep?
BY the pa moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose,
My lonely rest?
Could but know when am sleeping
Low in the ground
One faithful heart would then be keeping
Watch all around,
AS if some gem lay shrined beneath
That cold sod's gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death
And light the tomb.
Yes, in that hour if could feel
From halls of glee
And beauty's presence one would steal
In secrecy
And come and sit or stand by me
In nights dead noon,
Oh, l would ask of memory
No other boon.
But ah, lonelier fate is mine,
A deeper woe;
From all I've loved in youths sweet time
/ soon must go;
Draw round me my pale robes of white
In dark spot
To sleep thro' DEATHS long, dreamless
night,
Lone and forgot.

coLLEoE BOY an INVENToR
Produces Automobile sparker for
Which He Receives $1,000
Other Inventions.

Edward Moore, of Newburg, a fresh
man in the L. G. Smith College Of
Applied Science at Syracuse Uni.
versity, has received $4,000 for an in
Vention of an improvement in an
automatic sparker, thus adding to the
most remarkable record of successful
inventions ever credited to a student
Of Syracuse university.
Although only 20 years Of age and
just beginning his course in electrical
engineering, this is Mr.. Moore's fourth
invention now in use.
Before coming to college he sold
one for $4,000, and now has two on
royalties. His latest invention is one
that interests automobilists. Until
his mechanism was sold to the auto.
mobile company the chauffeur had to
switch the current which runs the
spark from the battery to the magnet
by hand. The new device is a simple
arrangement which does this auto
matically when the gear lever is op-
Grated. The invention for which the
$4,000 was paid is a combined starter
and regulator for electric motors.

This Is the most popular sport among

Entire villages engage in it, each side
choosing a leader.
Each player is armed with a long
stick, on the end Of which is a small
hoop, four inches In circumference. To
this is attached a net of rawhide just
large enough to hold the bali. At the
distance OF 400 PAGES from each other
two poles are driven into the ground for
goals. The object of each side is to get
the ball into the net at the end Of the
playing stick, and to strike the Opp6s-
ing goal with 1t. The player who sue
cesds wins the game for his side.
AS the players on one side try to block
the way to the goal for opponents and 70
keep the ball away from them, the ~
suit Is a lively scrimmage. The two
aides being lined up, the ball Is thrown
between them at the beginning Of the
game, and is kept In lively movement
