According to Geo. Nj. Rommel, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, u. 5. De-
partment of Agriculture the corn belt
is not the only profitable hog produc-
which grows clover, alfalfa, peas or
beans, or where any grains are readi y
wheat, oats or rye will be a favorable
situation for the successful production
Of pork. If it is also locality where
dairying is common, no better advan-
tages are required, for, given legumin-
GUS pasture, clover, alfalfa, peas,
beans, etc.-as a basis, with the grain
feed that can be readily grown, and
also dairy by-products, the very high
est grade of pork can be produced at a
minimum cost Variety of feed alone
is an item of immense Importance in
feeding. An animal tires of a constant
ration of one kind, and is more easily
put ''off feed" at such times than when
he is occasionally supp led with a
change to keep his appetite keen. Not
only has variety of feed an influence
on appetite, but it results in a better
quality of pork.
In the extreme west the alfalfa of
the irrigated valleys and the clover of
the coast districts give a splendid
foundation for pork production. In
most of these regions there is an
abundance of small grain, particularly
barley, that may often be fed econom-
ically, while in some localities corn
is a successful crop.
Barley is of SO much interest and
Importance in the production of prime
pork that it demands more than a pas
sing notice This grain has not been
relied upon to any great extent in
America as the principal part of a
hog fattening ration, but the practice
of Danish farmers and the results of
experiments can very well be studied
with profit by American feeders. The
Danish bacon, which figures so prom
inently in the English markets. is pro-
duced mainly with barley and dairy
by-products. At the Ontario Agric1ll-
tural college, Day has found barley so
valuable in the production of prime
export bacon that it is now used as a
standard with which other grains are
compared. In his experiments to de-
termine the nature and causes of
soft pork. Shut found that the best
bacon produced was by a ration in
which barley was at least one third of
the whole amount Farmers in those
parts of the country where barley is
"A prominent crop can well devote at
tention to their opportunities for pork
production; besides, in addition to this
grain, some of the leguminous crops
can often be grown for pasture, thus
furnishing material for a well balanc-
ed ration.
The purpose Of these remarks is
not TO minimize the value of corn in
meat production of any kind. Corn is
perhaps, with a favorable climate and
sill, the most economical grain that
is at the command of the stockraiser

Velvet Carpet.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have read with much pleasure your
answers to various questions put to you
and your recipes.
I have a question which l would
thank you TO answer.
I have a velve carpet, of a light
color and where the stove stood asst
winter the carpet a become dark.
I have swept 1t and have had 1t beaten.
but the black spots are still there. Do
you know of any remedy by which these
spots could be removed7
Trusting that you will give this ques-
J ton an answer through YOU column
and thanking you in advance, I remain
NEW BRUNSWICKER.
Heat a small quantity of Fullers'
earth in a pan in the oven and spread
over the dark spots in the carpet, allow
ing 1t to remain for a day or two, then
brush off with a whisk broom OF
clothes brush.
Would not advise you to try a clean
ing fluid of any kind. as 1t will be apt
to leave a ring mark.

resting implements for the working out
of my purpose. 1 lost all sensibility
to effort, to fatigue. to physical suf-
fering; 1 forgot all things in the world
except my one idea. l focused every
power upon my desire, but a curse was
on me. A curse! Nothing less.
"At first I took misfortune philoso-
phically. but when it came and
slept with me- I began to- rage
at 1t. Month after month. year
by year, it rose with me at
lawn and lay down by me at might.
Misfortune beIeaguered me and logged
my heels, until 1t became a thing of
amusement to every one except
myself. To me it was terrifying, be-
cause my time was shortening. and the
last day of grace was rushing toward
me.
Just to show you what luck I played
mat Dawson / found a prospect that
would have made most men rich, and
although such a thing had hap
pened in that particular locality before,
1t pinched out. l tried again and again
and again, and finally found another
mine, only to be robbed of it by the
Canadian laws in such a that
there wasn't the faintest hope of my
recovering the property. Men told me
about opportunities they couldn't avail
themselves of, and, although l did what
they themselves would have done, these
chances proved to be CHASTITY jokes. I
finally shifted from mining to other
ventures, and the town burned. I
awoke in a midnight blizzard to see
my chance for a fortune licked up by
flames. while the hiss of the water
from the f1remen's lose seemed direct
ed at me and the voice of the crowd
sounded like jeers.

undertook to put me in right for once;
but although the fellows around me
made fortunes in a day, my ground
was barren and my bedrock swept clean
by that unseen hand which I always
felt, but could never avoid. 1 leased
proven properties, only to find that the
pay ceased without reason. I did this
so frequently that owners began to
refuse me and came to consider me a
thing of evil omen. Once a broken
snowshoe in a race to the recorders

time a corrupt Judge plunged ms from
certainty to despair, and all the while
my time wal growing shorter, and I
was growing poorer.

made either With or without openings

black braid, but the cape can be fin
ished with a hood If preferred, and a
great many children like the hood that
can be drawn up over the head when
everdesirable. For school such materials
as this are exceedingly fashionable as
we'll as practical. When made of light
colored broadcloth and the like the cape
makes a pretty covering to be worn on
the way to dancing school, parties and
occasions of the sort. The military fin
ish is both fashionable and attractive,
but it is not necessary, and the cape
made with the hood, and held by means
of ribbon ties, makes an exceedingly

garment.

TRIPLES CAUSE QUARREL.


What absurd little things people
quarrel about! What trivial matters
cause ill-feeling in families! The NUT
ton being roasted too little or the beef
too much, an opinion about the tenn
p%erature of the house or the style Of
curtains that ought to be bought for
the front windows, the definition of a
word or its pronunciation, are not
topics worth a quarrel when peace and
goodwill are of so much importance in
the home. A little ~ill-feeling Is like a
little seed that may grow into a large
tree which will shadow the whole house.
Many a man and woman must looh
back with regret on the hasty word or
the cold reproach which was the enter
ing wedge that split a household in
two; and yet how few make a point of
uttering the soft word hat turneth
away wrath!

buried in the heart of an inaccessible
wilderness, given over to her fears and
the intrigues of her enemies. She had
eyes mainly fer Emerson, and although
in her glance there was goodfellow-
ship, in her heart was hot resentment
first at him because he had awak-
ened in her the warm interest she felt
for him, and second at herself for
h%arboring any such interest. Why
should this self-centred youth, wrapped
up in his own affairs to her own utter
exclusion, give her cause TO worry?
Why should she allow him to, step
into her quiet life and upset her we'll
ordered existence?
How do you like him." she asked

1.-TWO hours after the Topkuk strike
was made l drove past the shaft, but
the one partner known to me a gone
to the cabin to build a fire, and the
other one lied to me, thinking 1 was a
stranger. I heard afterward that just
as | drove away my friend came to the
door and called after me, but the day
was bitter, n my ears were muffied
with fur, while the dry snow beneath
the runners shrieked so that it drowned
his cries. He chased me for half a
mile to make me rich, but the hand of
fate dashed my dogs faster n faster,
while that hellish screeching outdinned
his voice. Six hours later Topkuk was
history. You've seen stampedes-you
understand.
MY name became a byword and
caused people to laugh. though they
shrank from me. for miners and sailors
are equally superstitious. No man
ever had more opportunities than 1,
and no man was ever so miserably I'M
fortunate in missing them. In time I
became whipped, utterly without hope.
Yet almost from habit I fought on and
on, with my ears deaf TO the voices
that Knocked me.
Three years isn't very long as you
measure time, but the death-watch
drags. and the priests prayers are an
eternity when the hangman waits out
side. But the time came and passed at
length, n / saw my beautiful BREATH
ing dream become a rotting corpse.
Still I struggled along, until one day
something snapped and I gave up-for
al time. I realized, as you said, that
I was 'miscast,' that l had never
been of this land. so I was headed
for home. Home." Emerson smiled
bitterly. 1.-The word doesn't mean
anything TO me now, but, anyhow, 1
was headed for Gods country, an
utter failure. N a worse plight than
when I came here. when you put this
last chance IN front of me. 1t may be
another ignis fatuus, such as the 9TH
ers I have pursued. for I have been
chasing rainbows now for three years
and 1 suppose I shall go .on chasing
them. but as long as there is a chance
left, I can't quit can't. And some
thing tells me that I have left that
ill-omened thing behind at last and I
am going TO VIM
