rye, alfalfa. clover, etc, for hog pas
ture, for the farmer knows that pigs
can't be made hogs for a 200-pound
finish on corn unless they first have
pasture for growth and development.
Recently good farmer and log
grower wrote US that he had been
feeding HIS sixty-cent corn, and his
books slowed that when fed to hogs
the corn had brought him 81 bushel.
Growing hogs from pigs on corn
alone would be like growing men
from boys put on Latin and Greek at
the start-a failure. Farmers are too
wise to attempt to grow hogs with
out pasture for the pigs and shoats
to run on. And so scores have re-

the rapidly maturing forage crops
must be relied on where there is not
plenty Of good blue grass. Rape may
be sown now, and in six week be
ready for the pigs. 1t would be a
great mistake to have no pig pasture,
and indeed plenty of hog pasture till
well on to the finishing period, when
corn will do the rest.

Dark Cornish Chickens.

The Dark Cornish belongs to the
Oriental class; they were introduced
into this country from Europe, prin-
cipally from England. They were not
fighters in any sense Of the term.
They are as much domesticated as
any other breed or variety of fowls
We have
1t is as a table fowl that the Cor
nish are excellent; their breast de-
velopment is something wonderful
and no other fowl in poultrydon
shows such fine, full, rounded, yell
low breasts when dressed for market,
and their flesh is fine in texture and
OF good flavor.
The Dark Cornish males are ex-
cellent for crossing on common hens
to increase their weight and add to
their breast develoc ment-thus add
ing to their value as market fowl.
Intelligent farmers are rapidly be-
coming aware of the fact that by US
ing. with common hens a cock bird
that weighs two pounds more than
the barnyard cock, they can add to all
OF the individuals Of their next year S
flock an average of one pound in size
and weight.
This can be done without increas-
ing the food percvptibly and without
investing an extra dollar in poultry
houses or fixtures of any kind. Large
cocks on the farm help out materially.
and where birds are wanted for this
purpose the Dark Cornish male is of
special value.
They make the finest KIM of ca
pons, often weighing from twelve to
fourteen pounds when fully maturei l..
They are not bad to fly, like other
birds, and are the best foragers.
As to the laying condition they are
good; female kept in good condi-
ton will lay the year around.
AS to settlers and mothers the
Dark Cornish hen is supreme-gen-
tie, and unless sick or injured they
always return to their nest. courage
ously defending their young. staying
with them longer than any variety.
Most hens leave their young too
early, but the Cornish hens do not.
AS TO fancier's fowl they are to excel
and l think female is one of the
most beautiful OF any variety.
The ground color is chestnut
brown, with beautiful lacing OF me-
tallic green glossy black.
In the male the plumage Of the
breast and under color is a green
glossy black; neck hackle the same
color with brown crimson shafts to
feathers back, and saddle feathers a
mixture of green glossy black and
brown erimson.-W. P. Moore, in he

Fifty-Dollar Calves.

Heifers can be raised cheaper and
-etter than can be bought A prom
inent and successful dairyman of ILL
nois says that he can raise heifer 70
the age of two years at a cost of $40,
including the value of the calf at
birth, and he has been offered $50
apiece for some of his heifers at that
Age. But even allowing $40 to raise
heifer TO the age when she begins
to give milk, she will then be the
equal of COWS that could be bought
for $50 or more. Here is a clear cut
rate, and an actual advantage Of $40
per COW in favor Of raising the heif-
ers, but the actual added profit in the
life Of the home raised over buying is
more apt to be two or three times
this amount.

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Col. John +. Whitcomb and Wife
Victims of Surprise.
Fifty years ago on Thanksgiving day lit
came that year on Nov. 29) Col. John F.
Whitcomb and wife, OF Ellsworth, en-
barked on the matrimonial sea. Together
they weathered storms Of the uncharted
sea, and now in the calm OF life, with
friendly craft within hail on all sides,
they look back upon the fifty years OF their
voyage as one long pleasure trip.
On Thanksgiving day this year their
family friends planned little golden
wedding surprise for them. They were
invited by John o. Whitney and wife to
s'eat Thanksgiving dinner with us". Note
the diplomatic wording Of that invitation.
1t WAS accepted, and the engagement
filled, but not in just the manner Col.
Whitcomb and his wife expected.
Along in the forenoon Of Thanksgiving
day, Mr.. Whitney drove to Col. Whit
combs, ostensibly to carry the colonel and
his wife to his home. They "had plenty OF
time", Mr.. whitney said, and he dallied
away half an hour or more driving down
Water stteet and about town on this or
that invented excuse, until Col. Whitcomb
grew almost impatient, and MIR. Whitney s
genius for invention was welI-nign ex-
bausted.
In the meantime, the family party had
been gathering at the home OF Harry W.
Haynes, and when Col. Whitcomb and
his wife were well out Of the way they
swept down upon the Whitcomb house in
q body and took possession.
When Mr.. Whitney's last excuse
brought the colonel and his wife back to
their own home, the surprise was sprung.
A family party OF forty-four gave them q
rousing welcome.
Then came the last hustle OF preparation
for Thanksgiving feast, in which Col.
their own home. And such a feast! But
at last it was over, and in the serious hour
of after-dinner reflection, another sur
prise was sprung.
Col. Whitcomb and his wife were pre-
vailed upon to hold an informal golden
wedding reception, ana standing in the
psrlor, they received the felicitations oil
the guests on the occasion. Then ap-
peared the inventive whitney again
bearing before him a magnificent case ol
table silver, which, with appropriate
speech, he presented to Col. w hitcomb and
his wife on behalf OF the families repre-.
sented. The second surprise was as COM
plete as the first.
Altogether it was joyful occasion, 9
