THE HOG ON THE FARM.
Some Practical Suggestions On
Raising and Feeding Hogs ~
One Who knows.

always raise two litters year, and
breed in November and June. put
them in a field or pasture by them
selves, SO they can have plenty Of ex-
ercise, and feed them little corn with
about all the oats they will eat, and
after they are done eating give them
fresh water from the well, and once a
day put in a tablespoonful OF Interna-
tional Stock food per SOW, and they
will come in heat about the same time.
I have a boar in a pen handy to get
him in and out, and let him serve them
once at the rate of two or three q day,
and the pigs will all come very near
the same time, and be about the same
size, which is Of great advantage.

Cows that freshen In the spring

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black splotches All Over Face-A6ect-
ed Parts Now Clear az Ever-Cured
by the Cuticura Remedies.

About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches an over my face
and few covering my body, which pro-
d1ced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal Of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two Of the leading
physicians<o of my town.. After a thorough
examination Of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length OF one year, but the
Treatment did me no good. Finally my hus-
band purchased set of the Cuticura Rem
edies, and after using the contents of the
first bottle Of Cuticsra Resolvent in con-
nection with the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
hnent, the breaking out entirely stopped.
/ continued the use Of the Cuticura Rem
edies for six months, and after that every
splotch was entirely gone and the af-
fected parts were left as clear as ever.
The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me
Of, that dreadful disease, eczema, but
other complicated troubles as well. Lizzie

the argument ends. Investigation proves
that the Angora goats areS not only
classed among the most usdfuf OF the
domestic animals, and havb been SO
classed for hundreds of years. but their
usefulness is manifested in2 a variety
Of ways. The fleece, call<t1 mohair,

c.r. of Moulting Hens.

It is time for the hens to be out Of
the moulting period, but il there are
any that are still so afflicted it is es-
sential that they should have the best
care and plenty Of stimulating food.
They should have wheat and corn and
oil meal. and If they are given soft
feed once or twice a week that has been
literally peppered it will do them much
good. A meat ration also, once OF
twice a week, will be advantageous.
The drain on their vitality Is quite
severe, and they must have good care
to asst them in growing a new coat
Of feathers and begin laying early in
the winter again. There is no time OF
the year when good care is more neces-
sary than it is through the moultins

shorts added to make q good rich feed.
Five or six days before they are due
to have pigs l put them in their pens,
and continue to feed them the same,
except l add some oilmeal and Inter-
national Stock Food. This seems to
form q balanced ration, as I never had
sow to eat her pigs that was treated
in this way.
On the 18th Of November, 1902, l Let
my boar serve two sows, and on the
Goth day Of February, 1903, l had two
nice htters Of pigs, one OF nine and the
other Of eleven, and by March 10 they
had all farrowed. The average is eight
and one-half pigs each. Now, IL any
body can beat this for early pig rails
Ing l want to hear his plan, and from
ten sows I could expect to raise from
eighty to eighty-five early pigs and
ninety to one hundred in the fall. As
soon as the sow Is through narrowing
omit one feed and give her q drink
of water from the well with q spoon
ful of soda in 1t, as this is sure pre-
ventive Of scours in the little pigs.
Then I continue to feed the same ra-
tons that fed just prior to farrow-
Ing, except that increase the use Of
International Stock Food to one meas
ure tor each sow twice day.
I used to have considerable trouble
with my sows going of their feed, and
this usually means q dead SOW, or q
very badly stunted litter, but since
using International Stock Food have
TO trouble in this respect. It seems
to be a good tonic, a good appetizer,
and I am confident that large litters
and healthier sows can be kept by its
use than without it. I continue this
way of feeding until the pigs are six
to eight weeks old; by that time they
are old enough to eat corn and grass,
and this with their mothers milk is
all thet they ever get. I wesn them at
about three months old, arid at six
months of age they will average 125
pounds. I can produce these pigs for
81 apiece, and we all know they will
be worth Sc, so it Is easy to see how
much profit there Is In raising pigs

SPIER'S BOND DEALS.
Wall Street Firm He Traded With
Nag Lose S57, 800, 1t Says.

The investigation made into the affairs of
Charles L. Spier tends TO the conviction that he
may have considered his financial condition so
involved that it could not be Strengthened out
So far as this investigation has gone, it would
seem that the trouble centred in the speculative
account that Spier carried with Keech. Loew
Co. of No. Wall street.
With this firm Spier is said to have placed
orders for purchases Of Amalgamated Copper
and Anaconda Mining stocks, and when they
slumped he was forced to give additional mar
gins. To accomplish this 1t is asserted that he
deposited bonds Of the Sea Coast Traction Com
pany and the AsbUry Park Light & Electric
Company to the amount Of $1s0.0OO. These com
panies were in process Of amalgamation into the
Atlantic Coast Electric Railway Company, and
H. H. Rogers gave the bonds of the two former
companies to Sp1er to deposit with the Central
Trust Company. Instead of doing this, it is al
legged. Spier used the funds to cover his own
speculations
A few days ago Mr.. Rogers, or one Of his rep
resentatives, made a demand on Spier for the
bonds of the two companies Spier went to
Keech, Loew & Co. it is said. and on the pre-
tence that he would exchange the bonds OF the
two companies for the new issue Of the Atlantic
Coast Electric Railway Company bonds he OBJ
tanned the bonds and returned them to Mr. Rog-
ers. BY this means any suspicion the latter may
have left against Spier was alIayed.
few days later. however. when the news Of
Spier's death was received. Keech Lowe &
Co. advised the Central Trust Company that
the bonds belonged to them. and the whole story
came out. Yesterday it was reported that the
firm would have to stand the full loss but late
in the day they issued the following statement:
AS statements Of our possible loss through the
late Charles L. Spier have been greatly eXag-
gerated, we wish to state that the maximum
This neglects entire claims for securities and
moneys sufficient to cover the whole amount,
which claims regard in every way legiti-
mate
Nevertheless, 1t was generally believed that
Keech. Loew & Co. would have to stand the loss
Of whatever amount was due by Spier to the
firm. The discrepancy between the amount Of
collateral demanded Dy the firm and the amount
of his death is expleined by the fact that stocks
in which he was an investor appreciated in value
in the last few days.
Henry NJ. Rogers, Jr. who is conducting the
examination into the accounts Of Spier, had no
statement to make yesterday.
There was more or less talk yesterday Of
Spier's relations with the members Of the Staten
Island Club 1t was said that three or four
members had been induced to invest in concerns
in which Spier was interested, which had turned
out badly.
"Spier was a victim of the get-rch-quck
fever" said one OF the members yesterday.
and he persuaded some of the clubmen TO get
into various enterprises which he thought would
return good results None turned out we'll, and
there was good deal of feeling among the
