Think About Your Hog Pasture.

Every up-to-date farmer is now con-
cerned about his next summers hog
pasture, and there is no better time than
this to be getting things shaped up
The hog is pasture loving animal
With pasture he thrives, keeps healthy,
and pays premium for the grain which
he consumes, while without it no de-
generates, gets out Of condition and be-
comes an easy mark for disease The
men who raise hogs without pasture arc
those who usually tell all manner of
hardluck stories Their brood sows
have small filters, the pigs are weak,
the sows cat their young and cholera
often gets into the herd Feeding hogs
without pasture means selling corn at
poor market. For those who can grow
it there is nothing better than alfalfa
for hog pasture. 1t is an ideal frame
builder and a great bone and muscle
maker. One acre of good alfalfa will
pasture from ten to dozen hogs with
out their eating it too closely. 1t stands
pasturing better than red clover and
makes better feed. Hogs on alfalfa
pasture without grain in Kansas and Ne
braska make about 100 pounds growth
during the summer and develop frame
that will stand up under heavy corn
feeding during the autumn.
Next to alfalfa for this purpose stand,
red clover. The principal diffiulty with
clover is that it is not permanent pas
ture plant, and is not apt to hold its
own for more than year If red Glow
or is to be used two pastures are neces-
sary-one to seed down while the other
is being pastured. and so back and forth
from year to year. For short order hog
pasture heavy seeding of mixture
Of rape seed, barley and oats is a good
combination to SOW This is not as
much relish as is alfalfa or red clover
and is not as nutritious; neither is a
pasture on fresh spring blowing free
from dust during dry season. 1t is
nevertheless indispensable to profitable
hograisiDg where the better pastures are
not to be had. Experiments made at the
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Canadian
and other experiment stations indicate
that from 60 to 80 pounds of grain 20
farther when fed to hogs on pasture
than 100 pounds of grain without pas
ture There was once profit in the
pen-fed hog, but those days are past
The hograisers have found better way.
They can be grown so much cheaper on
pasture that there is no money in the
hog that is FED all summer from the
pail or basket.

NOTES.

Corn natures earlier on land plowed
in the fall than on spring blowing. The
North Dakota experiment station re-
ports that corn matured last season 10
days earlier on the fall-plowed field.
Many of our imported varieties of
p tomatoes do not ripen as early as the
old kinds that we're smaller. They are
also subject to more diseases as improve
ment of quality progresses. The hardi-
est variety is the common small egg
shaped tomato, which bears well and
yields abundantly on all kinds of soil.
Rye will be the first green food in the
spring. AS the young rye is almost
wholly composed of water, it affords but
little nutrition and is very laxative.
When turning stock on young rye it
should be done as gradually as possible
Only small quantity of rye should be
eaten at first, allowing cattle to Craze
more as the rye grows.
1t is undoubtedly true that the earliest
Matched chickens are the hardest and
thrive the best |. X. Felch, an au-
thority on such matters, says that the
most vigorous and healthy chicks come
from the 40 eggs pullet produces after
the first or 10 she lays, and the first
40 hen lays after getting through the
mott.
Experiments at the Cornell station
have been conducted to determine the
causes of failure in alfalfa culture, and
the practical suggestions derived from
the results were that at least a moder-
ately fertile soil is needed for this crop,
that the use of phosphates as fertilizer
is valuable in this connection and that
incubation is futile unless the soil is in
q condition to favor the growth of the
bacteria.
The New Jersey experiment station
recently experimental feeding milk COWS
with cowpea hay, and found that with
the cowpea ration milk was made at a
cost of 80 s cents per 100 pounds,
while the cost on grain ration was
60 s cents. On the grain ration the
cows produced 8 3 per cent more milk
and 1872 per cent more Butter, but
comparison of the price of feeds showed
large balance in favor of the cowpea
ration. Why not plan to SOW a few
acres to cowpeas next season

Collecting n Bill.

A claim was once placed In the hands
Of Judge Peters of Bangor, Me-, for
collection. A notice was sent to the
debtor, who called and promised to pay
the following Saturday. The Judge
said: Nov, don't say you will pay
Saturday night unless you mean to.
Just take a few more days and be sure.
Say you will pay next Wednesday"
"All right" said the man; IF live I'M
til next Wednesday will pay that
bill" Wednesday came, but no man
appeared to settle the bill, whereupon
the Judge wrote out a notice Of the
death OF the man and put 1t in the dai-
ly paper. The next day the bill was
settled.

Y. ]. EXPECTS
GREAT STRIKE

That the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. fully expects general
strike OF the operators in the north
west, in connection with the pres
ent trouble at San Francisco, is evil
dent from the following letter,
which Superintendent r. I. Reid, at
Seattle, has sent TO all local mana
gers of the Western Union in the
northwest:
ITO All Managers: Owing to the
agitation of few officials of the
telegraphers' union in the east,
who. following the recent voluntary
increase of 10 per cent in salaries,
have made demands on the tele-
graph companies to which they can
not possibly accede, it is probable
q general strike Of operators will
be ordered, and, while the employees
in this district have no grievance,
1t is expected that in event of a
strike being declared many OF
them will 60 out in sympathy, and
with a view Of causing the COM
pany as much inconvenience as
possible.
I'm such an event il is desired
that their places he filled with the
least possible delay, in order that
the commercial business of the
country, which is so largely Deepen
dent upon tie telegraph, may not
be interrupted longer than neces-
sary, and to this end l have to re-
quest that you use your best en-
deavors to induce ex-operators
whom you may know to come to
our assistance, temporarily at
least, with the assurance that they
will be paid literally for their SER
vices.
"All such operators who express
a willingness to help us should be
asked to report to Manager West,
at Seattle, paying their fare and
taking a receipt for same, which
will be reimbursed in full"
This letter was sent out conf
dentially and it is not known if
there has been any response. Mem
bers of the telegraphers' union de-
clare the Western Union intends to
force a general strike, and is pre-
pairing for it in advance.

MILLIONAIRE IN JAIL

NEW YORK, June 29-Charges
against several police officers will
probably be the outcome OF the ac-
tivity of 2 detectives and stubborn
ness of police station officers in re-
fusing a prisoner a chance to prove
his identity, which caused Walter
s. Chatterton, millionaire and
chief stakeholder in of the largest
power companies in the city, to
spend Friday night in a cell under
charge of being a professional bank
burglar.
Chatterton was promptly dis
charged at private hearing in po-
lice court and the affair hushed up.
An abject apology was also tender
ed him for the police blunder, but
he has made no promise not to
bring charges.

Former School Teacher Of J. Pier

pont Morgan.
My old pupil Pierpont Morgan was
in to see me this week, and his visit
recalls the years he spent at our
institute, now nearly generations
ago. He comes frequently to Vevey
to call on his old teacher and to
see the college, but he is such a
busy man that his visits last only
few minutes.
l remember very we'll when he
first came to the school in 1854.
Pierpont was then about Is years
old, tall, well built and strong, and
he was noted for the great care he
took of his dress and appearance.
He was extremely methodical in all
his ways. He Joined my mathemat-
ical class, and he also took up
French and commercial subjects.
What struck me most-and
pleased me most-about Pierpont
was his perseverance, his tenacity
and his determination. 1 had more
brilliant boys in my class who
could solve and understand prob
lens quicker than Pierpont, but
nevertheless Pierpont was always
near the head Of his class. To- illus
trate his tenacity, on many occa-
sions he came to me after lessons
to have me explain at greater
length problems he had not fully
grasped. He always wanted to
know the reasons why, and get to
the bottom of things. He never for
got anything he had properly
grasped.
He was very studious and his
