Crown Prince Makes Trouble.

King Peter is regarded as an ami
able man, but not particularly clev-
er one-by no means clever enough
for the extremely difficult position he
has to fill. Many things are against
him. To begin with, he has no private
means; they were all used up in his
40 years exile. According to COM
mon report, the last remnants of his
fortune went in forwarding the con-
spiracy which resulted in the assas-
sination of Alexander and Draga.
King Alexander had not much money
1t is true--only some $4,000 year
but ii was better than nothing,
and King Peter would be glad If he
had as much. His income as SOW
ereign is only $4,000 year, which
is not a very great sum for the
maintenance of a royal household.
The people generally were dis
posed at first to give the King a cor
dial welcome, but when It was seen
how completely he was under the in
huence of the conspirators, and the
news of his implication in the bloody
tragedy gradually spread throughout
the land, popular opinion began to
turn against him. His want Of tact
and cleverness has made his position
still worse.
His Worst Misfortune.
But the sorest trial and worst mis-
fortune is the Crown Prince, whose
future accession to the throne is
viewed with positive alarm and ap-
prehension on all sides. Prince
George has many failings, but the
worst is his ungovernable temper.
This has already led him into innum-
cradle troubles some slight and
some more serious. For several
years Major Lavasseur was the
Princes governor and the young ty-
rant made it hot for him. Shooting
was Prince Georges favorite pastime.
The walls and ceilings of his apart
ments were covered with bullet
marks, which we're particularly num-
erous in the door leading to the royal
quarters. The reason for this was
that the Prince, in order to keep his
governor from coming into the room
took the door for a target

The Wrong End as Usual.

Tn the Agricu1turist Of March IL,
we called attention to the fact that the
legislatures of several Of the states had
passed or were considering bills pro-
viding that the maximum fare on the
railroads within the several states
should not exceed two cents per mile.
We also quoted the statement of an ex-
change that it was more important to
farmers that freight rates should be re-
duced than that the fare should be,
which statement we endorsed. There
is no doubt that the last proposition is
true and that the farmer is more inter
ested in freight rates than in railroad
fare. The editor Of Up-To-Date
Farming is of the same opinion. I'm
der the heading, "The Wrong End AS
Usual he says:
The legislatures, as usual, have be-
gun at the wrong end to regulate rail-
road rates. What is needed is cheap
er freight rates, and what we get is
cheaper fares. Farmers and mechanics
travel very little, but freight charges
enter into everything. High freight
rates are high taxes and something we
cannot figure on unless we pay them
direct That's why the legislature can
reduce fares by law and compel the
railroads to collect from the farmer
and the mechanic part of the sums
each traveller would otherwise be made
to pay. Two cents a mile is enough to
pay, but when you cut off on fares, I'M
less you can also reduce freight charg-
es or at least keep them from making
an increase, they will surely add to the
freights, whatever is cut off on fares.
The railroads as good as say they will

Sast For Range Cattle.

Many stockmen do not practice the
right method Of sailing cattle on the
range The method of throwing fine
salt on the ground once week or
possibly not so often does the animal
almost as much harm as good, mas
much as great quantities of salt are
taken into the stomach at one time,
which often results in a positive injury
to the animal, especially when salt is
not given frequently, and the animals
have free access to water. The very
best and most healthful method known
is the use of lump rock salt; put plenty
of it out in the pasture or range, off
the ground if possible, and allow the
stock to go to it at will and you may
be sure that they will not use more OF
it than they need.-Ex.

Why He Likes Florida.

A Pasco county correspondent of
the Inland Farmer says:
know there are hundreds of your
readers who would, if they knew all
the particulars of this lovely climate
and capacity of our soils for raising
al kinds of truck, gladly dispose of
their homes and come and join us in
developing new ones in this lovely
country where lands are so cheap,
health fine, water SO abundant, and
so few insect pests annoy, where the
greatest variety Of products can be
grown in great perfection, and which,
because Of the scarcity of su-h pro-
ducts in other sections of the United
States, pay SO we'll to grow them. It
is hard for us to realize that sucn dis

and we certainly have no doubt about
their doing so. But as long as farm
ers allow themselves to be humbugged
by papers and by orators into thinking
they are getting rich by raising bigger
crops to sell at lower prices, we may
expect them to take it for granted that
a two cent fare is better for them than
a low freight rate.

Some Facts about Hogs.
If you want clean pork, feed clean
food.
Filthiness and uncleanliness in food
tends toward disease.
IA sow that does not prove a good
mother should be discarded.
The boar should have abundant ex-
ercise and a continued variety of food.
One good service is all that is neces-
sary to produce complete litter OF
pigs.
There is no animal so easy to fatten
when it has no exercise as the pig.
To maintain healthy and stock-get-
ting power, boar must have exercise.
All the good qualities belonging to
the race cannot be found in any single
breed.
If there is any coarseness in either
side let it be with the SOW rather than
the boar.
With hogs one Of the plainest indi-
cations that they have been crowded
with feed when too young is the break
ing down in the feet.
No single grain ration meets the en-
tire wants of the young growing or
fattening animal In all cases, and es-
pecia1ly with pigs, a good variety gives
the best results.
Dust, cobs and other filth SHOULD
not be allowed to accumulate on the
feeding fooks. Cleanliness in the feed
ing places will aid materially in main
tanning health.
1t is much better to have the pigs a
little hungry and come to their feed
with sharp appetite than to have them
lazy and Indifferent about it.
If rich food is given the narrowing
sow too soon and in too large quaint
ties, it will cause the milk flow to be
too rich and abundant.
Incidence in the healing power o.
wounds is always a sign of constitu-
tional debility Give a good tonic
Too close and long-continued in
breeding tends to a rapid degeneration
in nearly all instances.
The amount of food consumed by
swine in comparison with other ami
mails in proportion to weight is very
great.
Young breeders in purchasing breed
ing stock should always give quality
the preference before fancy points
when these can be had together al
right, but quality should come first.
