WHEAT OB CORK.
Many of tho progressive farmers of
ioiopiuo navo commenced to experi
ment with fattening hogs with wheat.
The ol'l theory that corn must bo had
to mako pork is being exploded. Peas
and barloy nro good and soon wheat
will bo among tho factors. Saya a well
posted moat dealer in tho east in writing
to this paper: "The meat from tho
well fed hog of Oregon is certainly more
palatable than that from tho corn fed
hogs of tho western and middle states.
Now I learn that your Colorado farmers
aro sadly complaining about a profita-
oio market ior tueir wneat. Why do
they not make pork of it and send it
into England and China for a market.
Field nnd Farm.
We doubt if the meat or fat of a hog
is as firm aud sweet as that fed on corn.
Give us corn to fatten gcoi pork wad
mate sweet hams.

itself a character, an individuality of its
own, as it did in old times. As tho
months pass and tho editorial staff and
publishing affairs get into smooth work
ing order. "Scribnor's" will try to lead
tho van. 'Tho Siego of Paris" is an
exciting, woll written reminisconco of
tlioeo terrible days. Extracts of Gouv-
crneur Morris is an extremely interest
ing story of incidents of his career as
an American Diplomat.

The Woman's Magazine published at
Bnttleboro, Vermont, is ono we would
like to recommend to all readers of tho
FAiuiEn. It is an excellent journal and
is only ono dollar a year. It is espec
ially a woman's magazine, with this
motto of Victor Hugo's among tho head
lines, "Tho nineteenth century is wo
man's century." It is devoted to Art,
Literaturo, Homo Science and Biogra
phy. It is really ono of the best and
cheapest magazines published nnd we
hope there aro many of our lady friends
who will feel that they have earned the
right to ono dollar from tho family
purse will send for it,
