PIG MANS EASY JOB.
Average Family Eats a Quarter Ton
of Pork In Year.

Average Family Eats a Quarter Ton
of Pork In a Year.
BY Professor HARRY HAYWOOD, Della
ware.
That pork production is an important
agricultural industry is shown by the
fact that in the year 1900 the average
private family ate little over half a
ton of meat nearly half of which was
pork. This fact is explained by anoth-
er fact-pigs for various reasons are
more profitable animals to raise than
beef steers or sheep and on this ac
count always have occupied and prob
ably always will occupy a prominent
place in American agriculture.
In the first place, pigs are more pro-
life than any other class of farm ami
mails They mature more quickly and
can therefore be turned off sooner than
any other live stock save poultry.
Again, the pig produces its meat upon
considerably less feed than any other
meat producing animal, much of which
feed could not be used advantageously
in any other way. A pound of pork
can be produced upon half the amount
of feed that is required to produce
pound of beef and two-thirds as much
as it requires to make a pound of NUT
ton Another point in favor of the
pig is that the percentage of dressed
weight is higher in pork than in either
beef or mutton.
There is probably no branch Of ami
NAL husbandry that can be taken up
with as small capital as raising pigs.
They can be kept in comparatively
large numbers in small Enclosures or
they will do well on pasture, which
furnishes part of their feed, and they
are subject to but few diseases. AS
population increases the demand for
pork will also increase. 1t is one of
our most palatable and nourishing
meats.
Practical experience shows that one
good man can handle quite a large
herd of hogs if he will properly ar
range his pasturing and feeding sys-
TENS. Some pasture seems essential
to success. This calls for a very
small area of tillable ground per head,
which in course of time should become
very rich and productive from the
droppings of the animals and the grow
ing of legumeS for feed.

any person can see how it has been
marked by the voter.
After it is marked it should be
folded SO that the inside cannot be
seen, but SO that the printed in
dorsements and signatures of the
ballot clerks on the outside may be
seen. Then the voter should pass
out of the booth or compartment,
give his name to the inspector in
charge of the ballot box, hand him
his ballot to be placed in the box,
and pass out of the voting place.
A voter, who declares to the
presiding officer that he is unable to
read, or that by reason of physical
disability he is unable to mark his
ballot, can have assistance Of one
or two election officers in marking
the same, to be chosen by the voter;
and if he declares that he is totally
blind, he may be assisted by any
person chosen by him from among
the legal voters of the county. The
presiding officer may administer an
oath in his discretion, as to such
persons disa bility.

dates for the different offices, are

laundering Official.

A Royal Funeral and an Embarrassed
BIundering Official.
The Comtesse de Boigne's memoirs
contain an interesting account of the
departure from life of Louis XVIII,
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating:
''He was a great stickler for eti-
quette and gave the most minute in
structions about his obsequies. All
the ceremonials observed at the de-
parture of the kings of France were to
be respected, and as he had an ex-
traordinary memory he settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made
mistake, in reading the prayers for
those in eXtremiS. Louis XVIII. inter
rupted him and corrected the mistake
with presence of mind and calmness
which never left him for a moment.
The family was assembled at the end
of the room and was deeply affected.
The doctors, the attendants on duty
and the clergy were around the bed.
The first gentleman of the chamber
held the curtain. When the chief
physician gave the sign that all was
over, he let it fall and, turning around,
bowed to the princes. Monsieur left
the room scbbing, and madame pre-
pared to follow him. Hitherto she had
always taken precedence of her huS-
band as the kings daughter. When
she reached the door, she suddenly
stopped, and through the heartfelt
tears with which her face was stream
ing she said with difficulty, Take pre-
cedence, DauphinY He Immediately
obeyed without any hesitation or re-
mark. The first gentleman announced
the king The courtiers repeated 'the
king and Charles x. reached his
rooms.
1.-The master of ceremonies made
some slight plumbers over the royal
funeral. Charles x. overlooked them
and spoke kindly to the embarrassed
official. ooh, sire, your majesty is
very kind, but there were many de-
fects. Next time we will do better
Thank you, Breze,' replied the king,
with a smile, but am not in hur-
ry.' Thereupon M. de Breze col
lapsed."

favorite delicacy. 1t is very early, very
sweet-by some considered the sweet
est corn that grows. As may be in
ferred from the name, it is dwarf,
growing not more than three feet
high, and makes a small, compact ear.
In their early stages the grains are
cream white, maturing to a beautiful
golden yellow.
st the head of these tempting gold
en- sweet varieties some connoisseurS In
corn place Golden Honey sweet corn.
1t is medium early, quite prolific and
has ears of good size.
1t is claimed that both these yellow
corns keep in good eating condition
longer than the white sorts. The dis
tinctive points of the golden sweets are
their color and a certain erich deli
cacy'' of flavor, in which, those who
fancy them most say, they excel any
other kinds. They are pretty certain
to become favorites where introduced
into a community.
Another sweet corn, new this sea-
son, is POcahontas, which makes its
debut as positively the earliest sweet
corn grown'-three days earlier than
any other sweet sort and Of fine quail
ty for so early a variety. 1t is a

Hiawatha, also new this season, is a
white sugar sweet variety. 1t is
recommended as lusciously tender,
creamy and sweet, melting in your
mouth and perfect for the home table.

with cereals. This years report con-
tains the following in regard to the
most productive varieties of spring
wheat and the earliest varieties. EX-
GLIDING the durum wheats, the follow
ing varieties of wheat have shown un-
usual productiveness for a series of
years on this farm Central, Ottawa:
Preston, Pringle's Champlain, Huron,
Herisson Bearded and Bishop. The
first four of these are red wheats with
bearded heads. Bishop is a white
wheat and is beardless. OF the five
varieties Pringle's Champlain is prob
ably the best for the production of
strong flour.
Somewhat lower in yield, but SUI
perior In the strength Of their -four,
are Red Fern (bearded), Red Fife
(beardless) and White Fife Cbeardless).
Several very early varieties Of spring
wheat are being grown on this farm,
but they are not at present recon-
mended for general cultivation. Farm
ers should remember that extreme ear
illness is frequently associated with a
rather small yield, short straw, liabili-
ty to rust or some other defect to
which the more vigorous wheats are
less subject.
The earliest wheats which are as yet
included in the regular distribution of
seed grain from this farm are Prin-
gle's Champaign, Preston, Huron, STAN
ley and Percy. These are all some
what earlier than Red Fife. Stanley
and Percy are beardless sorts.
The practical identity of the -four
made from White Fife wheat with that
produced from Red Fife wheat has
been established. 1t has also been
shown that these two varieties produce
-four of the very highest baking
strength.
Among the winter wheats it has been
shown that Turkey Red yields flour Of
quite remarkable strength, very little
inferior to Red Fife.

FAITHFUL STUB.
Story of Little Dog Which BraVeIy
Did Its Duty.

Did Its Duty.
Stubs master had gone away for the
night and had left the dog to guard his
apartments.
In the evening the house caught fire,
and before the fire engine arrived the
blaze had gained firm hold and little
could be saved. Some of the men dis
covered the dog and tried to coax or
drive him from the room, but Stub held
his post. His would be rescuers did all
they could to get him out, but he would
not bulge. Warning. growls showed
that he would use his teeth if the men
resorted to force, and finally in their
efforts to save the dog the firemen
turned two streams of water on him.
Even this did not dislodge him.
The dogs master was found and
notified of the ire. When he reached
his home. the roof had fallen in and
the building was a mass of flames. He
gave one clear whistle, and Stub, who
had defied fire and water and all hui
man inducements, bounded out of the
house and the next instant was licking
the hand which caressed him.

A Common Error.

There is an error of speech that is
made by almost everybody, educated
and uneducated, careful and careless,
good speakers and bad. 1t is the mis-
placing Of the negative in such express
sions az II don't think / shall go to-
morrow" You see the reason, don't
you? 1t is your intention to say that
you do think, not that you don't think.
Therefore you should say, 81 think l
shall not go tomorrow" 1t is like mis-
placing the word "only" in such
phrases as II only read one book last
week." which should be, of course, 81
read only one book last week." the
''only" properly preceding the object
and not the verb.-Chicago News.

A Sport In Which Accurate Throwing
Counts For Much.
A game which will amuse or inter-
est a mixed company Of young and old
er, persons is hard to find, but from per-
sonal experience the one here described
was not failure in this respect
Two round tin pans, small and a
large, were procured and small hole
made in the bottom Of each in the CEN
ter with nail.
They were then riveted together, the
one inside the other, with small cop
per rivet, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
A number of bean bags, with which
most people are familiar, were made
and the game commenced.
The pans were placed at one end of
the hallway. and the players stood at
the opposite end.
The younger members Of the party
formed one side and the older members
