PART OF e. H. GARY's TALK.

Great progress has been made in
this country during the last de-
cade in the direction of improving
the methods and morals of men as
applied to the important economic
and ethical questions which have
attracted attantion. As a result of
the rapid growth and development
of this nation and of the substantial
increase in wealth there has been
from time to time reason to critise
the conduct of individuals connect
ed with the management of large
affairs, and, therefore, 1t has been
thought necessary by public speak
ers and writer's openly to call at
tention to these conditions and to
insist upon changes in methods and
also upon the passage and enforce
ment of laws for the correction of
existing evils.
Some have been more prominent
than others in declaring that the d.
viding line between right and
wrong, between honesty and dishon-
esty, must be more definitely point

driven from positions OF power and
influence. That efforts in this d.
rection were justified and essential
all will admit.
1T is not very important to con-
slider the merits or methods of in
dividuals who have been prominent
In the crusade for the betterment
of conditions.
Whether individual men and the
public press have always been ex-
actly right or fair, or conservative
in statement, is of slight signff1-
canoe, IL the intention to bring
about the desired Improvement has
been good. One the whole, these
criticisms and characterizations,
even though not always fully war
| ranted, have resulted in benefit.
| Therefore they have been creditable
and meritorious.

The Dependable Mule,

Breeders of mules contend that they
are less nervous and much easier bro
ken to harness than horses. Kindness
is the best policy in dealing with
mules, and when properly handled they
will work quietly and steadily and
there is but little likelihood of their
ever kicking. They will prove as de-
pendable as horses when we'll broken
and city hammered, and it is on very
rare occasions that team will scare
and run away.
The larger the mule the better. Of
course a large animal can stand more
work than small one, for one thing,
and also a large mule usually pos
sesses a better disposition than his
smaller brother. 1t is the little mule
that is apt to be i'll tempered and vi
cious.
Raising mules for market has proved
very profitable to many farmers in the
past few years, as good, sound, young
animals always bring a fancy price
when offered for sale. Farmers who
have large mares, perfectly sound and
dark in color, could very proftably
raise mules.

What the Books Cost Him.

When Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll
was living in Peoria he was called
upon one day by General John A. Lo-
gan. The colonel was upstairs at the
time, and General Logan was ushered
into the library, where on table were
three volumes of Voltaire's works, an
edition de luxe representing all that
was best in the bookbinder's art. Cen
eral Logan picked them up one at a
time, absorbed in his admiration of
their beauties. While so engaged
Colonel Ingersoll entered the room.
Colonel" said the general, holding
one Of the volumes in his hands, this
is the most magnificent volume have
ever seen. | do not want to seem i'm
pertinent, but would you mind telling
me what these books cost you"
"Those books" began the colonel, the
twinkle in his eye growing brighter at
each word, ''cost me-the governorship

His LOW Voice.

The late Justice Brewer was presid-
ing years ago over a civil case in
which one Of the important witnesses
was a horse doctor named Williams.
The doctor was a small man with a
weak little voice. and the counsel on
both sides, as we'll as the court and
jury, had great difficulty in hearing his
testimony.
During cross examination the coun-
sci for the plaintiff became exasperat-
ed and began to prod and harry the
little man.

Justus Miles Forman, the author, is

in Genesee county, n. Y, thirty-fve

POLAND-CHINA BROOD SOW.

creased cotton yields were not due en-
tirely to the grazing. Part of the ben
eftS were due to the fact that the
crops were legumes, the effect of
which would be to place nitrogen in
the soil for the use of subsequent
crops. But with the chufa pasture
we have case where the increased
cotton yields can be attributed only to
the grazing and the supplementary
grain fed, as the chufa plant is not a
legume In this case the increased
cotton yields for the average Of the
two years following the chufas was
900 per cent over the cotton crops
which had followed a corn crop with
out being grazed off by the hogs.
The question is often asked, What
is the best breed of swine for the
south? The answer cannot be given
by naming any one particular breed.
There is no such thing as best"
breed. One breed may be specially
adapted for a certain purpose, while
another may be better suited for
different object. The best breed for
any particular farmer is usually the
breed that he likes best.
The breeds of hogs are divided into
two general classes, the bacon type
and the lard type. The Yorkshire and
the Tamworth breeds belong to the ba-
con type, while other breeds, as the
Berkshire, the PolandChina and the
Duroc-Jersey, belong to the lard type.
The Poland-Ch breed of hogs orig
mated in Ohio. This breed is consid-
cred the ideal of the lard type Of hog.
The. individuals are broad on the back.
compact, low and dress a high per
cent of marketable meat. The Poland
Chinas are good breeders and early
maturers, but will not weigh as much
as the Berkshires. The Poland-China
is not as good as the Berkshire or the
Duroc-Jersey in breeding qualities
