certain questions in regard to the sundry

afterwards passing an act declaring the

Chief-Justice Fuller has announced
the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the case of the
Northern Pacific against Charles Walker,
Cimntv Auditor, et nl., from the Court
of Appeals for the Kighth Circuit. The
railway company m i:hi tsgnn suits
against the Auditors of twelve counties
in North Dakota for injunctions to re
strain them from assessing taxes against
certain lands, the title to whioh vests in
tho county. The Chief Justice stated
the amount involved in any one county
was not sufficient to give the Circuit
Court jurisdiction, and indeed the rec
ords show that the total amount in the
twelve counties is not sufficient. The
judgment of the Circuit Court was there
fore reversed and tlie cases remanded for
further proceedings. No disposal was
made, the Chief Justice explained, for
the reason that by tho time the cases
aro returned the amount involved may
be sufficient, in some one of tlie counties,
to give the court jurisdiction, but it can
not obtain jurisdiction, he said, by com
bining the amounts of issue in two or a
dozen counties.

at the time the lands were opened, en
tered a quarter section. His right of

Salt Injurious if Given to Pigs
in Large Quantities. '."
REASON PIGS ARE SCARCE.
Farmers Honest Enough to Admit
. That It is Largely Owing to
i Careless Methods. i
Some of the farmers that have no hogs
at present are honest enough to admit
that it is largely owing to their careless
methods. There are others who have
regarded hogs too troublesome to raise.
Still another class have no pigs simply
because the necessary cart and thought
were not given them. )t latt it class
is a large one, and its Members are the
heaviest losers, bavin a nad the expense
of maintaining brood sows and having
money Invested. Dl ring the breeding
season losses come fiom careless mating,
inbreeding, use of poorly bred boars, etc.
In the iarrowing season the lack of at
tention and poorfv arranged pens result
in many pigs , wing overlain, rigs die
when small from the effects of poor food
given them and their dams and from,
poor shelter, lack of clean bedding, from"
drinking unwholesome Water andafrom
having little sunshine ana exercise. Ihe
pigswnich lived through the first month
were given corn and water with their
dam instead of food suited to the build
ing of bone and muscle in the. pigs and
to the production of milk by the sow.
If. thev nad been given shorts, rye mta'
oat meal and other bone and mnscle-
toming food with slops, very different
resuiis might have been obtained. Such
troubles astulds, scours, costiveness, etc.,
are usually the direct results of careless
feeding orof exposure. In recent years
many fanners have neglected their hogs
mat more attention migut oe given, to
grain-raising, there are not enough
hogs in the country to supply theworkl's
demand, and will not be during the next
eighteen months. U the price of corn
remains below 60 cents per bushel, it
will pay to hold hogs during the coming
year until they reach 300 pounds weight,
provided one-fourth of this growth is
made from clover or other grasses.
Halt for pios.
A veterinarv correspondent writes to
the Mark; Lane Express: I am often
asked about giving salt to pigs. Person
ally I should not like to allow them a
free supply, which is what putting a
lump in the trough' means, and especial
ly to 'in-pigs or suckling sows or very
young annuals. . Salt, is decidedly inju
rious if given to pigs in large quantities,
and leads to a condition thatiadeecribed
as salt-poisoning. A little will do no
harm perhaps to large pigs ; but, whether
it is prejudice or because experience has
demonstrated that it is bad for the ani
mals, salt is never placed in the piggery.
The oases where I hare seen do mischief
is where brino from tlte piekle tub, has
been mixed with the: wash butchers'
waste and that' from hotels commonly

thing applies to soda,; which often gets
into the wash when dishwater is emptied
into the tub.- I strongly advise against
the use of salt for suckling sows any
one may bid good-by to the youngsters
if they get any quantity. Even the Jiq
uor in which salt meat has been boiled
has been known to upset them. Afar
greater essential for pigs than salt is
small coal or other grit. It is useful also
where pigs do not get the liberty of a
run to cut sods of turf, with plenty of ,
soil adhering, and throw to them in tha
FARMERS SHOULD BE rBOGBESSrVB,
Whenever a body, of fanners engaged
in any 'branch of agriculture get together
and talk over matters one would think
theirs, the only branch of farming that
was worth carrying on. This is as it
should be, as one will always succeed
best in that which he believes to be the
best.. It is not as it should be, for when
one thinks too much that his is the only
thina; worth doing he is apt to be narrow
in bis views and selfish in his regard for
the rights of others., We want broad
minded, whole-souled farmers farmers
who love their branch of husbandry and
are willing to help their brother farmers
in ' other lines of farming men yrho
make the most of their own work; but
accord fo others the same right. One
wnv to accomplish this is to attend in
stitutes and other meetings where men
engaged in the various branches of farm
ing are gathered together and the - large
ness' and importance of each ia . dwelt
upon.,.,,, t r ,( !..ii;.,4'-' ,
TAfiTi FERTILIZATION. , ' 1 .
:' Many tons of commercial fertilizers
are bought and used by farmers that can
not afford to use it. Until farmer saves
and uses all the fertilizers available on
the fann, he cannot afford to purchase
fertilizers with hie hard-earned dollars
at $25 to $40 a ton. It will pay to dig
out tlie soil Under the stables in many
instances and spread it on the land, as
it contains a great deal of ammonia and
other elements of fertility. Use the ma
nure from the henhouse on hills of corn
and potatoes or in the garden, and it
will give excellent results. If a farmer
will keep his eyes open, he will discover
fertilizing material about his farm going
to waste in sufficient quantities to grow
quite a field of corn. ; Some way ought
to be devised for saving all .the liquids
about the stable, as it is worth nearly if
not quite as much as the solids, ! :
