No aulnial on the farm can be abel-ti-ml uiore cheaply and aatlafactorlly it the time of parturition thau th brood tow, aay Jobn M. Jamison In The National Btot-kuian. Tula atate uieut will cover a greater part of the lurg-e awlne produciotf area of the Unit ed Slates. Wo liuportaiit feature ouly are to be cormldered a abaohitely uweiwary warmth aud dryness. These can be bad by the use of different ma terials, cheap or expensive, a suit the fancy aud pocketbook of the builder. A aiugle shelter or bouse for each sow we tbluk much preferable to the struc ture that will bold several annuals. It In advisable for a berd of brood sow to farrow aa near the same time a possi ble. Wbcu this Is accomplished, the houses can be put two or three rods apart aud will auswer the purpose as well as If a greater distance, provided there are dividing fences between them. It Is bard to get a lot of sows separated so far apart but that they will bear the herdsman when be com mences to feed snd all be on the alert. This expectation for a share cf the feed I nRnlnut the large house that will accommodate a number of sows, as a sow will often leave the nest at farrow ing time to go to the feed trough, usu ally to the detriment of ber litter. If separated from ber . companions far eunuch for them to be fed without disturbing her, It Is much better. Axaln, if separated In this way. It la much easier to keep litters from mix- SIOLB HOCUS FOB SOWS. Ing until such a time as there Is no danger of the strong pigs stealing from the weak. In a berd of sows there Is often one that is not as good a milker as the oth ers. In a case of this kind nature does not limit the number of pigs to suit the supply of milk. She Is aa apt to pro duce as numerous a litter as the best milker In the herd. The result la that these little fellows are always hungry and spend much of the time pulllug at their mother. If the sow Is In a bouse with several others with litters, these hungry, restless fellows will cause much unrest with the others. We bay often noticed that when one Utter of pigs beglqs to trail after tbelr dam for their feed tbe llttc. of the berd are almost sure to take up the cry and In a short time all tbe sows are down and the pigs sucking. When tbe sows and their Utters are separated until the pigs are at least 1 month old. It Is much easier to feed each sow property and get tbe pigs to eating. And, mors than this. It Is conducive to better thrift and health. For single houses to be used In this way we should want them portable or of material that could be torn to pieces and removed when not In use. The latter Is tbe least expensive and within the reach of every farmer able to own two or more brood sows. SUPERIOR WOOL. tllah aa America ltsmfav ra Lookla Far Ulch Or. In the present unusual wool situa tion the growers should do everything poaHlble to prevent the market from sufferlug from a flood of Inferior goods, says B. P. Smith In The American Cul tivator. Tbe market Is lacking today, especially In a One assortment of good wool. There Is more shoddy and In ferior aud poorly prepared wool than nythlng elae. Manufacturers are look ing around for grades that will suit high clans fabrics, and some of them have even scot their agents to the Lon don market to secure a better assort ment It Is possible for farmers to Improve this condition of affairs by a little more attention to details. One thing In particular Is that ranch otherwise fair wool Is Injured by the numlier of burs In It that bar to be cut out. This always spoils good wool, and If all weeds and plants that pro duce these burs were cut down before they could blossom the wool product of the country would greatly Im proved. It would be an easy matter to conduct a cruaade against a'l plants that produce burs, and by cutting them down on the roadside and farm whenever found they would soon cease to cause trouble. Quite a little Improve ment In this line baa been made In re cent years, but there Is still room for further Improvement. Manufacturers like to see the wool come to them In one shape, free from dirt and burs, and too much attention cannot be paid to this end of tbe business. More careful washing and packing of wool call for some caution. Washing wool Is a process that can be conduct ed thoroughly almost as well as care lessly. Washed wool needs to be mads aa clean as posalble, snd It should be pscked and prepared for the market with the Idea that Its appesrance will determine the price for It. Tbts Is often the cnae, and 1 or 2 cents a pound extra may lie obtained for wool properly wjshrd. packed and shipped. The long, crimpy, white wool seem to be In special demand now, and man ufacturers are willing to pay the high est prices for this wool. The demand Is more thsn likely to continue for sev eral years, and It will pay to raise sheep that will produce this wooL The Delaine type of ewe and ram win produce this wool better thao any oth er breed. Select a few ewes of tbla breed wltb snisll bodies and long, crimpy white wool and breed them to rams of the same general type. Tbe wool of such snlmsls will sell better tbaa tbe coarser wool of tbe Merino type. The fleece Is heavier bees as longer In staple, and this la Just west tbe market demands Dow. Fin weal with long staple will always command It price, and It la especially la demand BOW. ' rmaatl Haws' !.

People often wonder why It I that tbe bog die so suddenly when he runs rapidly or takes quick and violent exercise by fighting. But when yon consider the few escape pipes, their small capacity and remote ness from the cavity where the beat la generated, the wooder la not that be dies quickly when overheated, but that he Uvea as long aa be does when boat ed up. Cattle FeeSIn. There hare been wonderful change In the cattle feeding Industry during the last 25 years. Formerly the cattle were fed on tbe plains, and no abeds were thought necessary. letter tb market began to demand a higher grade of beef than was produced by tbe long horned Texas steer and tb native of tbe northwestern plalna. This and other condition brought about tbe raising of better stock In smaller herds, giving them better at tention, better food aud sheltering them In barns agalust the bad weath er. There baa been a change In tbe cattle Industry In tbe older states also, particularly Illinois, Ohio and Michi gan. - Wltb the revival of the Induatry formerly carried on In those states and the low prices of grain tbe farmers have again returned somewhat to beef cattle, and It la not an uncommon sight now to see farmers who annually ship from one to Ave carloads of fat steers. These they may buy from farther west or from their neighbors. Tbe business Is rery profitable and tend to build np tb enrichment of tb land. J All MerlaiM Alike. The difference between tbe Spanish and tbe American Merino Is one of designation only. Tbey are one ex cept In name, and tbe sooner tbe word Spanish Is dropped the better fur 'all concerned. As to hardiness, there Is very little difference between ' tbe American Merino and tbe Delaine. Both are Merino pure and simple, tbe one a wrinkly and the other a smooth Me rino, both descended from tbe ' old Spanish stock. Field and Farm. raakte la Pla. The fashionable pig of 60 year ago was a mere animated bladder of lard, rery pretty to look upon, but of no practical use but for tbe furnishing of fat with which to fry Qab. says tbe Chicago Record. ' This erase for abort snouted, fat backed pigs continued for many yeara, and the United States pro duced fat salted pork and lard at so much below price In England that only the longer and leaner of the Eng lish fat pigs could be profitably con verted Into bacon. Germany and sub sequently Sweden and Denmark en tered the lists as bacon curers, and tbe keen competition drove the English curers to change tbelr methods. Breed ers of repute began to produce pure bred pigs of the bacon type and suc ceeded so weU In combining length and breadth of frame wltb a large propor tion of lean meat that In atl the Eng lish country district tbe change In tbe anatomy of bacon producing flocks was marked and the Induatry began once more to be generally prosperous. 'The English supremacy In bacon produc tion la again being challenged by both Danes and Canadians, who are secur ing a considerable proportion of tbe beet trade. Rale ! Htary. Tbe marked revival of Interest In cattle breeding has set afloat a number of Inquiries as to whether csttle graded up by successive c rosso of pedigreed bulls can be made eligible to herd book registration, aays The Breeder's Gasette. Tbese questions are answer ed In the negative. No berdbook ac cepts for record animal that are grad ed up from unregistered cows. Alt ani mals registered must trace to recorded stock through both pareota. Borne studbooks accept horses that have four or Ave top crosses of registered sires, but herd books are closed to all animals that do not descend on both side from ancestor already on record. Five crosses of pur blood practically eliminate all alien blood and establish tbe type, but breeders maintain that tb "taint" yet remain however a mall tbe percentage of "scrub" blood may be, and hence refuse berdbook record to animals thus bred. Wark Hare, Work horse tbst bav been compar atively Idle during tbe winter should be used a little every few days a few weeks before the commencement of the heavy work of plowing. There I al ways more or less light teaming to lie done, or when driving to town for pleasure or profit early lo tbe spring when tbe roads are heavy drive two horses Instead of one. It will harden them for the heavy work later on. Na tional Stock ma a. Pars Bra rait la. During tbe year IKix there were many auccesaful sales of pure bred cat tle.

On the flrst of Ibe monlh the volume of money In circulation was aore than 2l,OO0,0UO lu txceiM of the two billion mark. Since April of IbhI year the volume of national bank circulation has increased nearly 130,000,000, and daring the pai thirty days the amount of national bank note outstanding has Increased more than 120,000,000. Almost ev ery denomination and kind of money employed by our people has mater ially increased during Ibe past year. This la iM A My true as to.gold coin aa well aa national bank notes. Tbe outstanding volume of silver dollars, which for several years baa averaged about one dollar per capita of tbe population, has increased more thau 15,000,000. The 'Circulation Statement," which a Usued at the beginning of each month, shows the total money in circulation on April 1, 1900, to be 12,021,274,606, and on April 1, 1899, 11,927,846,942, while on the corres ponding date in 1898 it was $1,756,. 068,645; on April 1, 1897, it was 1,669,000,694, aud on April 1, 1896, tl.628,629,463. This shows an In crease In total motiey in circulation in four years of $492,645,043, or 82 per cent. The per capita money in circula tion had, in 1892, under the McKln ley tariff, reached Its then highest nark, $24.44. It fell to $22.93 in 1895. and reached its lowest point for a d x-ade, $21 10, In 1896, after two yeara of free trade tariff. The first full year, 1898, of the operation of the Dingley tariff brought up the rate to $24 91; ihe second year (1899) It rose lo $25 45, atid for 1900 It has gained the lop notch, $26.12. The amount of gold in circulation is also grt ater I ban al I ho correspond ing date of any preceding year, the total gold and gold certificates in cir culation ou April 1, 1900, being $785,845,649, against $727,748,591 on April I, 1999; $618,448,911 on April 1, 1898; $554,682,090 on April I. 1897, and $489; 151, 605 on April I, 1896; Ihe Increase iliiting the four years $296,694,044, or (' ;4r cent.

"Tbe other day, says the Louisville Commercial, Eli Perkins was intro duced to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-the-wool Kentucky democrat. Tbe Judge la well known in the Blue Grass region, and the grand old Keutuckian has always been looked up to aa a high priest of "befo' the wah democracy." Perkins was introduced by an old democrat, and Judge Scott supposed that Eti was a democrat, too, and be became confidential with him at once. "How are we democrats getting along Judgr?" asked Eli in a confi dential tone. The judge looked at Eli a moment to sea if he really wanted Informa tion about the party, and slowly re marked i "Well, air, we are getting on very well floauciaUy, but politically we are running behind; yes, I'm afraid we are running behind." What causes this?" asked EH. Well, sir." said the Judge sadly, "I am afraid our peity has not beep altogether right. We have erred In some things." "Where have we erred, )udgt?', "Well, sir, I hate to admit It, but our G rover Cleveland policy hurt us Kentuckians. I wouldn't nay it lo a black republican, but we democrats all admit it among ourselves. You see," said tbe judge, "we ved to get 36 cects for wool, i di big price lor hemp and tobacco before G rover came In, but tbat Wilson bill hurt us. It knocked wool down to 12 cents Free jute, put in to help the cotton fellows, rained oar hemp and It rot ted In the ground Then we lowered the tariff on tobacco, aod our tobacco went down on us. We didn't com plaki, but we democra's did a goo.! deal ol thinking, dttle aW hoa got lower and lower, and when drover went out we were preily poor; yes, dog-on hard up, sit!" "Are they still bad the tiimn?" asked Eli. 'No, hooeatly, Ihe times are good. Wool and hemp and tobacco have doubled in price and are Mill going up. Cattle and hogs are high and our blue grass farmers are gtt'iug rich." "Well, what la tbe matter, then?" "Why these good times have knocked out our dear old democratic party. Our democratic farmers say I hey will never vote for free trade or low tariff again." Well, what can we -lemocralM do?" asked Ell. "I hate to admit it," said the judge, sadly, "but If we democrats want to win in Kentucky again we've got to keep the tariff right where It la. Tbat old Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver will be a scarecrow to every farmer In Ken tucky and Tennessee. We've tried low tariff and we know I'm ashamed to say so, but we know ii hurt usl No, sir,' the people are prosperous, but our democratic party is doing poorly.

PAKIIIS AM t ;imtiuriONs. The attituite of ihe arties toward industrial corioration will count for aoinclliiiig in the presidential Con-lft-t. There is much bitter feel iug already, and llierj will lie more il ihe orgsnizslions of workers prem luniie of the demands they are mak ing. The reort thrt those in con ference at Indianapolis are unable to agree, In part liecHuse of the extreme demands made by some, gives no a.-wurance that an agreement will not be reached on more or less modified demands which may still tie pOHaible. There is much in Ihe air this year to encourage extreme ideas. The Blate- menls which are being published day by day rega ding the enormous irodls realix 'd by one concern or an other are ieculiarly calculated to fos ter a hostile spirit among the work ingiiien, who cannot pull millions out of the stock market as their share of the game. Ifsimeoflhe organi zations had beeu handled with ex press intent to make as much trouble for themselves as possible about wages nnd terms of labor tbey could hardly have la-en handled moie ad roitly to that eud. The attitude which republicans in congress are taking Is by some re garded as mistaken. But it is ex tremely likely to be more reason able and fair ttau that of any other parly. Mr. Bryin and bis friends cannot agree because, in different ways, each wants to surpass every bixly else in threatening "death to trusts." That ihere are industrial corporations which do good, and no thing but good, to the workers and to consumers also It Would seem to be a standing purpose of these parties to deny. If alt shades of democrats and populists are not found busy la fore tlie campaign has gone far in laboring to make people believe that erich and every combination or cor poration of an industrial sort must have horns and hoofs and a tail, and lie engaged in diabolical work which fur transcends mortal powers of com prehension, Ihe aloresaid parties will have made remarkable progress to ward decency and good sense. Any attempt to secure just and sensible action by Ihe people must of necessity begin by showing that the combinations are not all of one sort or character. But what Is to be done if in their order the various corpr ra tions proceed to make It impossible so justify their course? How can It be said tlint such concerns are doing their duty to Ihe country if in order lo hold prices at double their former range each corporation shute up part of its works and discharges several thousand hands? Nearly all the companies, when they were being formed, caused careful declarations lo be published that it was not theii object lo raise prices. But all of them have in fact raised prices and a few do not yet appear to have any con ception of any other way to make money. If tbey are found joining each other lu contracts not to sell machines or materials to any com petitor which might produce sheets, plates, nails or wire more cheaply, how will the eople be persuaded that such concerns are not conspiring against the public welfare? It is not untimely to suggest these things, tacaus the various cortiora lions are even now forming public opinion which will govern action about tin in. Until after the election each step they take will go into the account for or against thm. It la entirely within the power ol these corporations to do far more than any body else can do for their defence or justification, and it is useless for any body else) to try lo huit them, if they take the course calculated ti make Ihe public their enemy. One of the strongest objections to such indus trial corsjratioii has been from the out-s t thtit they were liable t forget the fiiusi-public character which the Mi?sHesrtioii and use of enormously Ira Krtanl franchises has imposed upon them, and to seek profits in rtock oMrations or In management of woiks just as any Individual mihl, owing nothing except to himself. Enough hss happened already to In dicate how co. Mirations so conducted are likely to fare in the stock mar kit. That they will fare any better if so conducted in the political field, in legislature or congress the saga- clous among the managers are in no danger of believing. Unhappily for some companies and the people, the (Ifision has to lie made not exclus ively by tried and successful man iger, but sometimes by stock gam blers or by sie-ulalors In products, and somi times by men whose sole conception of success In business is the H-)ssession and enjoy nient of a mnnoiKily. It remains to lie seen how fa management by such people will enable sundry new ludui-trial corisirHtioiis to survive the flrst year of declining prh-es. N. Y. Tribune.
