town, profits can be made in rais-
ing pigs to sell the butchers.
There is generally a strong de-
mand at fair prices for hogs
weighing from 100 to 200 pounds
at the local market. Especially
is this noticealjle during spring
and summer when the local trade
on fresh pork is good.
Farmers may build up a nice
trade in hogs by fattening good
animals and delivering tjiem in
first class condition. When it is
known that a fat hog of excellent
quality can be obtained from your
farm, butchers who have their
customers which they must sup-
ply will pay fancy prices.
It is not a difficult matter to
have a few fat hogs for market
during spring and summer.
Grazing is good at this season of
the year and thfere may be such
crops as sorghum, oats, cowpeas,
soy beans, melons; sweet potatoes
in abundance. With these crops,
a good pasture and a small
amount of grain it does not cost
much to fatten a few pigs.
We know a farmer who has fol-
lowed this plan for years and he
finds it successful. He utilizes
his waste crops, skimmed milk,
etc, in fattening pigs, hence
makes good profits.
This is a practical way to re-
duce the dependence upon a cot-
ton crop. The porkers will fur
nish cash and relieve the necessi-
ty of credit, hence enable you to
plant less cotton and more feed
crops and crops for the family
table.—Farm and Ranch.

Fine Horse Will Make Season in
Livingston
My registered Kentucky sad-
dle horse, Groveland, will make
the season at Norwood’s Stable
in Livingston. He is a Denmark.
His sire and grandsire were the
two greatest saddle horses of
Kentucky. Lovers offine horses
will how have a chance to breed
to the best bred horse in the
country at a very reasonable
price. Terms, $5 cash and $10

or the colt comes. B. F. Bean.

In the Day* of Old Faces of Men Were
Fitted Upon the Ale
Juga.
When sou call lor a draught of ale
in a chop house It is served quite as
often as not in a toby, a Jug modeled
roughly alter the form of a little old
man in a cocked hat. This chop
house toby of today was quite prob-
ably “inadfe la Germany,” but hla an-
cestors came from England.
Most of them belong to Stafford-
shire and there la, not a solemn one
among the lot In the latter part of
the eighteenth century and the early
years of the nineteenth famous men’s
faces were fitted to pitchers much as
nowadays the likenesses of our na-
tional characters are cast in plaster of
parts and sold the shops.
So it Is that we find Wellington and
Drake, General Rowe and Lord Nel-
son, hollowed Into ale mugs for the
greater glory of their deeds. It has
even been asserted that here originat-
ed the unhandsome term “mug" as the
colloquial designation of the face.
Prom the collector’s viewpoint there
are two classes of toby, the portrait
toby and the Jug, which is merely a
■comic. The portraits may be of his-
toric worthies or they may simulate
Ideal characters such as John Bull or
mythical characters such as Punch or
■characters from fiction such as Pal-
Staff.—Country Life in America
Bucking Horses.
A touch of the spur or a flick of the
quirt signals the start, says the Ameri-
can Magazine, in an article on our
western horses. His knowledge of
what to do must be a heritage from
his ancestors, for all horses do it, and
all American wild horses are sprung
from horses that once carried men.
He pops down his head and levitates
straight heavenward. While he and
you are high in the air he arches his
hack and stiffens his body to iron rig-
idly. Thus he comes back to earth.
The sensation to the rider is as if his
spinal column had been struck by a
plledriver. The impression is not an-
Myzed at the time, for the horse goes
into the air again immediately. He
swings to right or left, or he “changes
ends” completely while in the air, and
you come down facing southward,
whereas you were facing northward
when you ascended.
Least Risk of Digestive Dis-
turbance.
The Lancet publishes a concluding
article upon tea which sums up the
results of an Investigation into the sub-
ject under the title of “The Chem-
istry, Physiology and Esthetics of a
Cup of Tea.”
The suggestion that an infusion of
good tea consist* chiefly of oaffeine
tannate is confirmed. It-ls pointed out
that when caffeine and tannin are in a
state of combination, neither being in
the free state, the harmful astringent
qualities of the tannin disappear and
the bitter taste of flee caffeine is not
perceptible.
The teas of high quality yield as a
rule a simple infusion of caffeine tan-
nate, not of caffeine or of tannin. Such
teas must be> regarded aa the most de-
sirable from a physiological point of
view. It is interesting to find that as
a rule the expert taster picks out
these teas as teas of high quality.
Good teas, in short, according to this
inquiry, are those which on a five min-
ute infusion yield only caffeine in the
form of caffeine tannate tq^Tbe in-
fusion and bad or indifferent t^as are
those which yield on infusion a tea
containing, in addition to caffeine tan-
nate, either caffeine or tannin, but es-
pecially tannin, in excess. A good
tea may be made a bad tea, but a bad
tea can not be made a good tea ex-
cept perhaps by very skilful blending.
Excessive infusion will spoil a good
tea, but even a short infusion of a
had tea may be as objectionable as
an excessive Infusion of a good tea.
On physiological grounds, therefore,
the consumer of high Quality teas runs
less risk of digestive disturbance pro-
vided the tea is made properly.
HOW HE KNOCKED OUT COLD
Algernon Grappled With It in Time—
He Explains His Never Failing
, Remedy.
"You seem to have a cold this morn-
ing, Algernon,” said Mr. Topfloor, as
the elevator "boy” responded rather
gruffly to his cheerful “good morn-
ing.”
"Yea, sah; I’so got the ebidumces
of a col’, t’ank de Lo’d. I’s decldumly
hoarsed In m&h treat, but I don’ t>’ink

“I understand that Lemuel Holland
has come back to Danby to end his
plays,” said a former resident of the
village to Peter Hobbs, the stage
driver. “How old is he?”
“He’s only 89," said Mr. Hobbs, “and
I guess you’ve made a mistake about
his ending his days here. He came
home so he oould get the new library
started and the bank organized right
up to date, and see to the drink-
ing fountain that’s to be put on the
green.
"He calculates to spend a year or
two with us, but he told me the other
day he’d always promised his son
out in Californy’t he’d pass the latter
part of his life out there, and he’s
planning to go before he fails any,
bo’s to have the full enjoyment of
the trip across the country.”—Youth’s
Companion.
Goods and Goods.
At the approach of the angel with
the flaming sword Adam bent upon
Eve a glance of profound consterna-
tion.
’AVe are caught.” he exclaimed,
"with the goods on ”
'Not dry goods, at ail ev.-nts!” gig-
gled the first mother, nervously, as
with a consciousness that it was too

"I will detain you only a moment,

Stubborn Case
“I was under the treatment of two doctors,” writes
Mrs. R. L. Phillips, of Indian Valley, Va., “and they pro-
nounced my ease a very stubborn one, of womanly weak-
ness. I wa6 not able to sit up, when I commenced to
take Cardai.
I used it about one week, before I saw much change.
Now, the severe pain, that had been in my side for years,
has gone, and I don’t suffer at all. I am feeling better than
in a long time, and cannot speak too highly of Cardui.”
