FEED FOR SOWS.

The scarcity and high price of
hogs, and the high price of feed,
makes a general inquiry as to the
most profitable feed for hogs that are
going through the winter, especially
for brood sows A good authority
is on record in favor of chopped corn
and wheat-bran, half and half, as be-
ing the cheapest and best feed for
brood sows. Of course, if it is in
convenient or expensive to have the
corn ground, shelled corn and bran
may be mixed and slightly wet so
that the bran will stick to the corn
We need not say that such feed
should be given in a trough so there
can be no waste.-Up to Date Farm

PARCEL POST.


How many know that there were
years when the parcel post rate in
this country was only half of what it
now is? In 1872 the postage rate
on merchandise was put at one cent
for each two ounces. However, the
weight limit of merchandise was only
twelve ounces. The weight limit of
books was put at four pounds and
the rate was the same-one cent for
each two ounces. In 1874, however
remember the date-the weight
limit of third-class mail matter, mer-
chandise included, was raised to four
pounds and the rate remained the
same-one cent for two ounces. The
express companies became alarmed.
They saw that this parcel post rate
would endanger their monopoly of
the small merchandise package car
rying trade and cut in on their enor-
nous profits. No claim was made
that the postoffice was losing money
by carrying parcels for a cent for two
ounces, but the express companies Sc
cured, in 1875, the amendment of the
postoffice law and in this amendment
was incorporated change of parcel
postage from one cent for two ounces
to one cent per ounce. This, it will
be seen, just doubled the parcel post
rate. The change in the parcel post
rate was slipped through Congress
almost without discussion. The ex-
press companies and their hirelings
in Congress we're careful not to
arouse the public. And that rate,
which has given the express compa-
MES a monopoly of the small package
carrying trade and has permitted
them to make the most outrageous
charges, has remained in force ever
since.
It should be clearly understood
that our present parcel post is not
only far inferior to that of every
other civilized country, but that so
far as rate is concerned it is only one
half as good as it was more than
thirty years ago. And in no respect
is it better now than it was then
The thievish express companies
have not only prevented us from hav-
ing a proper parcel post; they have
succeeded in making our parcel post
far inferior to what it was thirty-five
years ago!
The powerful publishing interests
by the amendment to the postal law.
in 1875 the rate on third-class mat
ter had been doubled, and they made
so much trouble and had so much
influence, for they had wealth to COM
mand, that in 1876 the postage rate
on books was reduced to what it had
been before-one cent for two
ounces.
In 1879 Congress made another
amendment to the postal law and
styled books as third-class postal
matter, and other merchandise as
fourth-class postal matter. And to
this day fourth-cIass pays the rate of
one cent an ounce.
The express companies get more
consideration from Congress than all
the rest of the people of the United
States get.-Illinois Farmers Call,

This is the time when the garden
ers, male and female, are immersed
in the question of seeds. 1t is the
vital question to all those who grow
for the home, as we'll as those who
grow for market, which latter class
is becoming larger from year to year,
as the farmer is coming to realize
that from his garden he can have
something to sell to keep up his table
and running expenses the year
around. There are still many farm
ers who regard the garden as a neces-
sary evil, by which they are kept from
the necessity of buying food for their
tables, but an increasingly large class
have been converted to the fact that
the garden will, if properly managed,
give larger returns per acre than any
other portion of the farm.

slunIncanee m Names.

In an Illinois town a workingman
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex-
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh
bors, referring to his having given
that name-Suficient-to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was a Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head, she received the name, but for
suphony's sake the French for the
word was employed. and she was
called Marion.
