and must be firm In quality. Where
the bacon hog is desired, as a gen
eral rule 1t will be found most profit
able to have the hogs fattened and
finished for market at about five and
one-half or six months of age.
Where the fat or lard hog is desired
the most profitable age to market in
order to meet the requirements of the
market would be about eight to ten
months. Hogs of this age should
weigh in the neighborhood of 800 to
$50 pounds. AS general rule, how
ever, it may be stated that the great
est and especially the most econom-
ical gains are made on the younger
animals. This is one point in favor
of the bacon hog.
The season of the year at which
the fattening should be done will de-
pend upon various conditions. In a
great many instances, hogs are fat
tened during the fall and early winter.
In other instances they are fattened
during the spring and early summer,
Generally speaking the most econom-
ical gains can be made during the
early fall or spring months. The
weather is then not too cold nor too
warm-in fact, about right for the
best gains. In real cold weather a
considerable amount of the feed is
used for the production of heat to sup
ply the heat required for the main
tenance of the animal body.

Light for Hogs.-Darkness and
health in the hog business are never
found in the same place. The mortal
enemy of all disease germs is the
bright sunlight and this at some time
or other should have access to every
corner of the feed lot and breeding
pens. Darkness brings dampness.
dampness brings on bad health and
the losses sustained from this source
are hard to estimate.

lighted, as l had had more than
enough of my own society. So we had
a long. comfortable afternoon. and by
and by Mary Anne brought us tea
with an appealing glance at me which

her secret inviolate.

the conversation drifted to other
things. AS we sat together In the

at her throat she wore the little gold
key which had excited my curiosity
once before.

1t out and handed 1t to me. while l told
her the story of the cuff button and
its unusual design.
And" | concluded, your pin sur
prised me, and SO did Mr.. Benefits,
but please tell me why you were inter
ested In it."
Her sweet face grew very grave,
and she hesitated moment before Ie-
plying, then took the pin from me
and held it in her hand.
ELISE" she said, slowly. this little
pin was given me by one loved very
dearly, and whom | have lost"

things-far worse

dered If she would not indorse this
sentiment.

marry and be happy"
Il am happy now" she returned;
"or. rather, l make myself believe It.
But shall not marry, for have but
one heart, and this is its key. 1

time when it is convenient, for 1t was

Bennett"
''Well?"
II was not looking at his pin, but
at his face. He is so like-so strange

Used Dolls to Set Fashions.

Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates in
their modern form were thought of.
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern
costumes, which were sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris, which then. as now. was
the leading center of the mode.
