THE & HOG.

Owing to the fact that corn is not
grown In northeastern Minnesota as
safely and abundantly as barley and
peas IL a been considered more
profitable to raise a bacon breed of
hogs rather than the lard breeds. For
this reason a bacon breed (the large
improved Yorkshire) has been raised
exclusively on the experiment farm.
1t Is this breed that is raised SO ex-
tensively and proftably in Canada and
on precisely the same feed as is
grown here in abundance, clover, roots,
barley, peas and the by-product Of the
dairy, skim milk.
The brood sows on the experiment
farm are wintered on second crop
clover, boiled roots, skim milk and a
very small allowance OF grain Zone
half pound per head a day.. They are
comfortable during the day, exercise
being very necessary. They are bred
in December to farrow in March, and
only one litter a e Fall pigs don't
pay. Only brood sows should be car
ried through the winter, and when a
SOW has proved to be a good mother
h should be kept as long as she is
productive, which Is generally from
-four to six years.
The bulletins that have appeared
previous to this and a few to follow
concluding the 1907 report, will be put

this publication may secure the same

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY.

HIS Hands Were n OHd Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days by Cuticura.
Zone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but d solid mass of this itch
ing disease. 1 purchased a box Of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then 1 dried
him and took the Cuticura ointment
and anointed him with 1t. l did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

Echo of 5ismarck's Dismissal.
From the London Globe,


A new version of the events leading up
to Prince Bismarck's dismissal from the
post of imperial chancellor is furnished
by the Aargauer Nachrichten, which the
Berliner Tageblatt regards as not i'm
probable. According to this account,
which is published in connection with
the death of DR.. Roth. late Swiss minis
ter in Berlin, the Swiss federal council
in 1890 desired a workmen's conference to
be held at Berne, whereas Emperor Will
liam III. convened a labor conference at
Berlin, to which Prince Bismarck OBJ
tected. The imperial chancellor thereupon
privately visited DR. Roth and pressed
him to insist on Berne as the seat of the
conference. The emperor, hearing Of
Prince Bismarck's visit, himself went to
DR.. Roth at dead Of night and satisfied
himself of the truth of the report. The
following day the emperor dismissed
Prince Bismarck and at the same time
presented DIR. Roth with a portrait OF
himself, bearing the autograph insCrip-
ton: I'm memory of March 19, 1890"

All admire a good looking hog, and
there is no reason whv good looks
should not 60 with the highest useful
ness, but neither good looks nor fancy
breeding should stand for q moment
in the way Of the hog that combines
.vigor OF constitution, g~rowthiness and
reasonably early maturity with q form
pleasing to the eye. When we come to
the final test of beauty, pretty is as
pretty does" The prettiest hog after
all, is the one that is most profitable;
the that makes the most and best
pounds of gain from a hundred pounds
of the most inexpensive dry matter;
the n that makes the largest contri-
button toward providing for the fam
lily necessities; toward meeting the in
terest on the mortgage, and to paying
the mortgage itself; for the addition
to the house, the new carpet, the piano
or organ, the new dresses for h girls,
or their education at school.
II the breeders Of any breed depart
from the practical hog they make a
mistake, for n or later the COM
mon sense farmer will demand the
common sense hog, and will waive any
preference he may have for particular
color or hair, cur of tail or droop Of
ear. II breeders of any breed depart
from this for any considerable length
of time farmers may say little about 1t,
but they will buy some other breed
that more nearly meets their require
ments.

Worse Than Tipping.

From the London Tatler. =
The trend of the times makes itself
felt in the matter of presents and pres
n t-giving. In the days of u grand
mothers these tokens of affection were
by a stern simplicity. But we have
changed all that, and the up to date
riot of presents means a deadly drain
on our bank balances. The tipping tax
is bad enough, but the burden Of CUNT
less presents can give it points and a
beating.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact hat it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by

effects always purchase the genuine
