Pig pork Is juicer, tenderer, healthier,
costs less and sells better than hog
pork.
Cleanliness is as necessary for the
health and well being Of hogs as for
other animals.
Oats fed to hogs will produce bone
and muscle and will prevent sows from
getting too fat
In the purchase of any kind Of
animal, quality Is generally worth
more than is paid for 1t.
The growing pig should be raised
upon something else beside corn till
ready to begin to fatten.
Gradually increase the rations Of the
pigs a few days before weaving II they
are to be kept growing.
If the SOW is kept In good condition
on the right kind of food her pigs will
be strong and vigorous.
Oats form bone and muscle rather
than fat, hence their value for the
breeding sows and embryo pigs.
A SOW will rear a litter Of pigs on
half the rations II given a good pas
ture than she will II enclosed.
Hogs are profitable because they will
ripen two crops a year, but this re-
quires good hogs and good attention.
Large and fine muttons bring good
prices, sufficiently good to pay well for
the grain to make them fat, large and

Ing to take very broad view of the
regulations in order to help him.
sometimes skilled workman of an
Industrious turn Of mind will appeal
to one or other of these gentlemen to
find him some employment for his
spare time. Thus a clever wood car
yer mentioned in a recent report of
the prison commissioners was able to
present to the chapel a really mag
nificently carved eagle lectern in oak,
entirely the work of his own hands,
done in hours which might otherwise
have been spent in solitude and idle
ness.
An ex-governor of great prison
has in his possession a remarkably
handsome side-board in walnut which
was made for him by a convict of a
prison where he was governor for some
ten years. The man appealed to him
for some means of killing time, and
knowing the man to be cabinet maxi
er, he provided him with wood and
tools. The side-board was the sur
prising result and in consequence of
it, when the convict took his dis
charge there was substantial pres
ent from the governor to help him
in making fresh start in life. More
over, while thus employed his hand
was not losing its cunning nor his
mind lying fallow, and his chances
of leading an honest life thereafter
were therefore greatly increased.
On the other hand, prisoners have
been known to kill time secretly by
such melancholy devices as making
mats and baskets of strawls taken
from their beds, rather than simply
sit and brood. Others have set them
selves to count the number of times
certain letters occur in the Bible,
with a copy of which every convict
is provided, and it is quite a COM
mon practice for the prisoners to learn
whole chapters, gospels, and epistles
by heart. A certain hardened char
acter once committed to memory the
whole of the Old Testament, but the
moral good it did him could not have
been very great, for two days after
his release he committed burglary,
for which he was sentenced to three
years Imprisonment
The chaplain of the prison possesses
considerable powers in the way CT
providing convicts with spare time
occupations, and with his cooperation
an educated convict will sometimes
indulge in such literary pursuits as
inditing his autobiography, which
many chaplains consider an excellent
method for getting a prisoner to
weigh his own character, though they
are often disappointed by the measure
of hyprocritical claptrap such auto
biographies contain.-London Tit-Bits. |

Wears Pet About Her Neck.

If you are going to be conspicuous,
be SO in the whole-souled manner"
says society woman who gave to her
jeHeler a commission for a necklace
which shows she carries out her own
idea. The necklace will be of fine gold
links, from which will hang golden
miniature reproductions of the heads
Of her special pets, encrusted with
diamonds. There are three dogs, two
cats, pony and parrot. The clasp
is copy of pet lizard, with diamond
eyes Women who like novelties may
think the necklace is well worth copy
ing, for an ordinary dog collar or rope
of pearls isn't a patch to it when it
comes to causing comment.

Never was l so near beat OUT as
the night when l finally struck the
trail and wallowed into the alleged
"fnn," days ride down from Kali
goory and two days up from the coast,
in the widest of the Australian noun
tains
Rain? never knew what rain was
than sprinkle since You could not
breathe without sheltering your nose,
and | believe one could have drowned
standing upright on the top of rock.
When it began | was out in the bush
with two naked native helpers, plot
ting possible path, through those in
formally erratic defiles, for the new
railway that was to connect Kalgoory
with the coast
Rain? Dear Heaven The two ma
tives crept into a cave and both were
drowned there. Four solid hours
waded, swan, wallowed, gulped, then
more dead than alive crawled into the
inn, reminding myself of a rat l once
pulled from a mud-hole by the tail
after holding him down with a stick
long enough for him to have drowned
twice over.
The railway is going in great shape
now and Kalgoory is place. Then 1t
was only a mad mining corpse just
coming back to life. 1t had doomed its
boom and got its crowd together, with
no end of saloons, a newspaper, and
Geographic communication with the
coast; but there was no other connec-
ton except an evasive bridle-trail to
transport necessities up and luxuries-
dust and ore-down, without an APP
parent possibility of ever getting so
much as a two-wheeled cart through
those crazy intervening mountains.
1t was a death-warrant. The bottom
fell out of the boom and Kalgoory
died. Then Sir Robert Broadley, the
millionaire, bought everything in
sight. declared that possible or i'm
possible railway was about to be. and
Kalgoory came to life.
Lord, how it did rain. | heard later
that over in Sydney they had been
praying for rain for one solid week
1t came all right, but there was an
error in billing, for in Sydney they
never got a drop Of it till goodness
knows how long later.
The inn which struck was no place
like home. 1t was only cook-while-
you-wait shack for transients who
we're better used and satisfied to do
their sleeping in the open 1t was
kept by half-cast,-a fellow cast half
way between a human effort and an
ape,-who had precious little variety
In his larder and less in his vocabu-
larry. There were two more fugitives
from the injustice of the elements al
ready established there. One was a
young priest on his way to contend
with the flesh and the devil up at Kali
gOory, who gave his time to religious
mutterings and paid little attention to
the rest of us. But the other was
paragon! a marvel of good nature and
unlimited resources But for him
there would have been hardly an obit-
nary left of me by the end of the
three mortal days and nights while tho
heavens stayed wide open and we
huddled in the leaking inn His other
name was hard to remember, so 4 call
ed him the Elixir of Life.

feived Knockout from the northwest.
