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

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.

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.

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.

On the flrst of Ibe monlh the volume
of money In circulation was aore

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

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,"

The per capita money in circula

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

"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. I wouldn't say it
to a black republican, but that is the
way we democrats talk among our
selves."
"As the Judge got off I be I r tin al
Lexington he remarked: "Yes, and
there was another mittake we dumo-
ciata made. G rover Cleveland want
ed toBink the Itepublicof Hawaii
and put a nigger on the throne. We
democrats didn't complain, but il
made us sick, for, between you and
me, we democrats ain't put'.in' nig

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.
