THE AUTOCRATIC PORKER.
Yoa rosy talk about jor venlaon, yer bar-meat
an* yor fowl.
You may blow yer born ’bout everything from
turkey down to owl;
You may chirp about yer quail on toast an* slob
as that, you see,
But tbs fine old-fashioned porker Is food
enough ter me
You msy spin long yarns on beefsteak, on rab-
bit an' on anlpe.
On all that s good to swaller. from ox-toll soup
to tripe;
Yer mouth may run to water 'bout ohleken
fricassee.
But old-fashioned ham an* gravy to good
enough fer me.
You may bunt the country over fer something
fit to eat
In tho line of ooon er 'possum sr otbor kind uv
meat.
You may chew s tough old brisket cow, so old
Hho couldn’t see,
But the old style roasted spar-rib to good
enough fer me.
Yon msy grind up moat sod mix It with pepper
and with salt.
Then add a little gyarlio an* yaller meal an*
malt.
An' yerbs an' roots an' onions, an' a little cat-
nip tea;
But old-fashioned country sausage is good
enough fer me.
You may feast on shiny Ashes, on bass on’ oarp
an' eels.
That's purty much a owin’ to how a feller
feels;
But what a feller’s raised to ho'll glnorally be.
An' the hog and all that's on him Is good
enough fer me.
Jest kill a thrifty porker, about two hundred
pound.
Hang up a side uv spar-ribs and watch ’em
turn around
An’ atrz an’ spud on’ sputter before the open
Ore,
Hung to a nail In the mantel an’ strung up on
a wire.
Now, set a pan below It upon the brick hearth
flat.
An' see the gravy trlokle down from lean meat
an' from fat.
Sloh grub might not be flttin’ fer the king er
ndee,
But it's old-fashioned country oatln’, an' It's
his grand
it's old-fa
good enough fer me.
Then when yer pig has cooled enough take
down that biggest half,
Strip up the Juicy tenderline an' wntoh the
children laugh.
Now slice the pieces crossways about a quar-
ter thlok
An’ fry 'om on a frisky Ore so they’ll get done
rite quick.
An' In the bottom gravy Jest break a dozen
eggs
Laid by them greedy Plymouth Rocks, consarn
their pesky logs;
Jest draw up the tablo now, with neither fine

Of oourso it's only country truck, but It’s good

You folks that’s livin' in the town on drled-up
mackcrrony
An’ oodllsh bulls an' terrapin an’ second-hand
bolony,
Come out Into tho country once, yer welcome
an’ yer free;
You'll find the porker good enough for either
you or me.

RAISING CARCASSES.
An Old-JTashloned Contrivance Suitable
for the Average Farm.
There has been considerable inquiry
for a gallows on which to raise the
carcasses of hogs. For common farm
use, where it Is employed but once or
twice a year, it is doubtful if anything
is cheaper or better than the old-
fashioned contrivance illustrated hero
with. A six-inch pole that is sound is
placed in the crotches of two heavy
poles well set, or in tho branches of
two near-by trees. To these the gam-
brels are fastened by chains, and this
improvised cylinder is made to revolve
and lift the pork by rolling it by
means of a crowbar, or strong stick
which fits into holes bored into the pole
at right angles. This is prevented
from unwinding by a pin thrust into a
hole bored in the post. Of course, pul-
leys and ropes aro better, but these are
not always owned.—Farm Journal.
FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Certainly the suggestion need not
be made that a leaky roof on any build-
ing ought, to receive Immediate atten-
tion.
It Is not likely that we shall ever see
the price of wheat at the old figure.
We cannot compete with cheap land
and pauper labor.
Farmers are among our very best
citizens be-causo most of them own
their own homes. A man with a home
to protect will usually be a good citi-
zen.
We are asked what the buckwheat
tree is, and where it grows? The buck-
wheat tree is an evergreen shrub of
the gulf states. Its fruit is shaped
like a kernel of buckwheat, hence the
name of the tree.
There is no better time for hauling
out manure than when there is good
sleighing. Haul it out on the sled.
Whatever can be done with tho sled
van bo more easily done than it can be
with a wagon.—Farmers Voice.
How Soma Farmers I-one Money.
Grain and hay are often held until
they decline in value from damage by
weather, shrinkage in weight, etc., to
say nothing about decline in market
quotations. They aro not kept off the
market by any spirit of speculation as
a rule or from hope of advance in price
-things have not been tending that
way of late—hut from sheer careless-
ness oftentimes. The percentage of
loss In this way Is quite a considerable
item in the experience of a multitude
of farmers, and those, too, who can ill
• fford it.

Wherever the Irrigation la necessary
to the production of a crop, It will be
found of great advantage, at the time
of seeding, to make ditches and fur-
rows at short intervals, and then to
so cheek the water In these ditches
that it may stand in small bodies st a
level above the general surface of the
ground to be irrigated. If the water
is held constantly in these small res-
ervoirs during the growing season, it
will not bo necessary to flood the
ground so often, and If the soil Is suf-
ficiently porous, it may be possible to
give the crop all the moisture it needs
without surface applioation. Wherever
this plan is practicable it has been
found to be of the greatest advantage,
as the ground Is kept mellow and fri-
able while flooded land becomes so
hardened that plants make but little
growth In it.
If a field has a steep sidehill slope, It

is best to bring the water into it by a
supply ditch on the highest part, as
shown at a in the sketch, and conduct
it by a series of damB or drops b, b b b
b, to the lowest part of the field.
Then run ditches e o from above each
drop nearly along a contour or equal
level line of the field, dyking these
ditches up to keep the water above ac-
cidental high places These ditches
should be permanent. They should be
near together at the top of the field,
the intervals widening as they near the
lower edge, as the seepage from the
upper ditches will necessarily make
the ground more and more moist to-
ward the lower edge of the field. The
field should be made as long as possible
along the course of these ditches, and
the ditches should be made as near
parallel as the ground will permit, so
as to obtain as large and regular an
area between ditches as possible.
Whenever it is necessary to flood
growing crops an opening can be made
in these permanent ditches at points
where the grade line t^f the ditch in-
tersects a slight knoll. This will pre-
vent washing of dykes and the con
sequent digging up of crops to repair
these brea ks. From these openings
the water should be conducted in zig-
zag courses, in furrows prepared at the
time of seeding, thus pre venting wash-
ing, and keeping the water as much as
possible away from the crowns of
plants until it soaks into the soil. A
lieadgate d should be placed at the
source of each of these field laterals,
and then it is possible for the farmer
to so regulate the supply in each part
of the field that a sufficient supply
may be at the roots of every plant,
and very little or no water going to
waste at the ends of the field laterals.
By this method a comparatively small
quantity of water can be made to sup
ply a large area. The system is
simple, and can bo applied in many
sections not equipped with regular
irrigating works. A modification of it
can oven be adopted on the plains of
the central west under windmill irri-
gation.—J. R. Patterson, in Orange

PROFITABLE FISH FARMS.
A New lndantrj Now Being Developed by
1’rogreMlve Farmers.
The practice of raising food fish for
market has become of lute a very prof-
itable industry, and in some parts of
the country is being carried out on an
extensive scale.
The equipment of a fish farm, as it is
called, is a very simple and inexpen-
sive operation. Land which would be
valueless for ordinary farming may be
used for'the purpose, the only require-
ment being a plentiful supply of good
running water. Tho best site for a
farm is a hilly or mountainous district
where the water runs swiftly and is in-
terrupted by waterfalls, since this
serves to aerste and refresh the water.
The fish farms are usually provided
with three ponds, each of which is re-
served for fish of about the same size.
As the fish grow, they aro changed
from one pond to another. The fry is
usually bought at the state or other
hatchery and placed in tho first pond.
The food for the fiBh is the principal
expense. There are a variety of pre-
pared fish foods on the market, but it
has been found that the fish fed with
prepared food have a decidedly beefy
flavor. A plan very generally adopted
is that of planting the ponds with an
abundance of fresh water shrimp.
These grow very quickly and soon pro-
vide a plentiful supply of wholesome
food.
11 will be seen that tho fish require
little attention, and the consequent in-
come from such a crop is almost clear
profit. In the season the product of
fish farms sells in the market at one dol-
lar a pound, and out of season. If the
sale be permitted by law, a much
higher price may be realized.—Scien-
tific American.
The Weight of Hay.
The Country Gentleman says In reply
to a correspondent who asks how to
measure a haymow to find the number
of tons of hay: Compact timothy hay
requires about BOO cubic feet to weigh
a ton (considerably more, perhaps 700,
os it is brought from the field), bnt the
quantity will vary with the pressure
caused by the height of the mow, and
with the age of the grass when out,
ripe and stiff grass yielding less nnder
pressure, and requiring more In bulk
to weigh a ton. Stiff, coarse hay will
be found to weigh less than fine and
flexible hay, which will pack solid.
The quantity we have stated is a fair
average for well-settled hay.

PUMA8 IN DEADLY CONFLICT.
umi Oats that M.k. a Kaunas Fix ere
Wh.a Match.*.
On our return trip to the coast I s»,w
a thrilling incident of life in the South
American foresta, a fight to the death
between two big pumas. Those great
beasts are fierce, hard fighters at all
times against a common enemy, bnt it
is only during the mating season that
the males fight among themselves, and
when they do the oontest means death
to one or both of them. For strength
and courage they are the equals of the
African lion or the tigers of the Indian
jungles.
We were making onr way down a nar-
row wooded ravine in the foothills of
the Andes, and had stopped for our
mid-day meal on the bank of a small
mountain stream of clear water. After
we had finished the meal I lay down
for a short rest, but in less than five
minutes I wan aroused by the most ter-
rific roaring, snapping and snarling of
wild beasts I had ever heard. .
"Pumas, and there’s going to be a
fight," said our guide in a whisper. It
was not difficult to locate the animals.
They were not more than a hundred
yards away, and by creeping through
the brush as quietly as possible we were
able to get near enough to see the fight
without disturbing them. When we
caught sight of the two animals they
were erouching close to the ground,
faoing each other, in a small space un-
der some large trees. They were the
finest specimens of the puma I ever
saw.
They were probably thirty feet apart,
and as they crouched there glaring at
eaoh other they looked like giant cats
about to spring upon their prey.
Pugilists never sparred with greater
caution than did these big brutes.
Their tails were switching back and
forth, and their eyes were like ballB of
fire. Slowly they moved around
in a circle, all the time cau-
tiously getting closer and closer
together. It was evident that
each was waiting for the other to make
the first lead. For more than ten min-
utes they watched and waited. The
roaring and snarliDg we heard when
they first met had ceased. They made
no sound now as they watched for a
chance to spring.
Our own nerves were trembling un-
der the strain when at Just the two
great beasts rose in the air at the same
instant, and like catapaults, came to-
gether with a thud that could have
been heard two hundred yards away.
They dropped to the ground, and for
almost ten minutes all we could make
ou t was two great brown bodies roll-
ing over and over in the death strug-
gle. They made no outcry of any kind,
but every few seconds we could hear
their powerful jaws come together
with a snap like the closing of a well-
oiled steel strap.
Finally they began to weaken, and
as their struggles grew less violent we
could Bee that both of them were cov-
ered with blood, while their flesh was
torn to shreds. In five minutes more
the fight was over and the two giants
of the forest were stretched out at full
length on the ground, clasped in each
other’s limbs, just us two playful kit-
tens sometimes lie down together.
They struggled feebly a little longer
and then both of them lay perfectly
still. Both were dead when we got to
them, and I never saw animals so torn
to pieces. The entrails of both were
torn out and scattered over the ground
where they had fought, and in their
necks were great ragged holes, from
which the blood had flowed in streams
while they were still fighting. They
each had a score of wounds that would
have killed any animal with less
tenacity of life.—8t. Louis Giohe-

THE LITTLE SPANISH KING.
Fond of Flirting With Girls and Equally
Fond of Soldiering.
The Spanish royal family has been
staying during the last three months
at the royal villa at San Sebastian.
They pass the morning on the beach,
but do not bathe, and the aftenoons in
excursions to the little towns in the
neighborhood, which, although mainly
Carlist, receive the young king and hla
mother with great friendliness. The
i last great day at San Sebastian was
j the unveiling of the statue of Admiral
! Oguendo. When -the queen laid the
I first stone of the pedestal of this
statue some years ago, King Alfonso,
(more popularly known as “Alfonslto")
was a baby in armg, and his
Austrian nurBe had great diffi-
culty in keeping him still. While
his mother was addressing the
aristocratic assemblage which had
been invited for the occasion, in a pa-
triotic speech, and the princesses were
gravely listening, “Alfonsito” thought
it more amusing to kiss his hand and
smile to the handsome young ladies
around him, and his mother at last
put an end to his pranks by a smart
tap from her fan. This time he was
more conscious of his royal dignity,
though in private he is still as boyish
as ever.
He is a capital billiard player, hut he
occasionally leaves the game to have
a flirtation with some pretty little girl
whom he may see playing with her
companions on the beach outside of the
villa. He is very fond of soldiering,
and has a little regiment of his own,
composed of four hundred and fifty
boys dressed in the picturesque uni-
form of the Basque mountain corps.
The band is composed entirely of or-
phans, who sang patriotic hymns on
the occasion of the unveiling of the
statue. — London Times.

wondrous magnificence, leaving in hla
wake a wilderness of crimson and gold.
There be hides his head in slumber
behind the mighty canyons of the
Sierras
We saw them ooming from out the
shadows of the foot-hills and at first
they were little more than two black
specks on the wide waste that lay be-
tween us. They were miles apart when
first seen, but they converged their
•onreaa aa they came nearer, each evi-
dently making for the same point
‘Them’s two bands of horses that
hev been turned out,” said Godsey,
after he had regarded the advancing
hosts intently for awhile. “They’D
meet ’bout hyar, an’ the stnUions’ll be
npt ter fight"
They came forward, quickly gallop-
ing through the evening’s sunshine,
but always in as perfect order as a
squad of drilled cavaly. When they
approached nearer we could see tho
stallions of each band rounding up the
Inggiug mares and exhibiting many
signs of nervous apprehension, but not
until they had arrived within a few
hundred yards of the place were we
bad eamped was any overt act of hos-
tility committed.
A foal broke away from the right
hand troop, ciroling around playfully,
and the mare to whom he belonged
followed him, neighing fretfully. Like
a flash of lightning the stallion of the
opposing baud, a beautiful bay with
white markings, dashed out from
his stronghold and endeavored to
round the mare and colt up with his
band. This was the challenge and
signal for battle, and it did not pass
unheeded, for a powerful chestnut
with flowing mane and tall shot for-
ward from the right and met the in-
truder half wav between the bands.
What a spectacle it was as these two
monarchs of the plains in all the glory
of youth and strength met in deadly
conflict while the mellow reflections of
eventide rung the changers on and in-
tensified the beauty, of their satin
hides. They advance rearing on their
haunches and pawing the air, while
their defiant neighing has been ren-
dered shrill by intense anger. Now
they meet and strike out viciously, en-
deavoring to rend each other's necks
and throats with their teeth. Now
they wheel and lash out savagely with
their hind legs, exhibiting throughout
a cat-like agility and generalship that
is nothing short of miraculous.
It is a desperate encounter, where
quarter is neither asked nor taken,and
it can only end with the death of one
of the combatants.
For fully an hour it wages with
varying success,but strength and stay-
ing powers begin to tell in favor of the
chestnut stallion, and the bay is grad-
ually forced to bis knees. He still
fights gallantly, but the odds are
against him, and his antagonist show-
ers blows upon him with his front hoofs
that cut his hide into shreds as with a
knife, while the blood gushes from a
hundred wounds. For a few moments
he struggles ou, and then, with a
great gasp, he rolls over on his side and
lies motionless, while the victor limps
slowly back to the band. In that mel-
low twilight a king has been laid

About (be toughest thing that
can happen to a mau ia to go con
trary 10 his wife’s wishes and
then fail.
Those who never read tbe ad-
vertisements In their newspapers
miss more tban they presume.
Jonathan Keinsohn, of Bolau,
Worth Oo., Iowa, who has been
tronbled with rheumatism in his
back, arms and shoulders read an
item in bis paper about how a
German citizen of Fort Madison
had been cured. He procured the
some medicine and to use his own
words : “It cored me right np.”
He also says: “A neighbor and
his wife were both sick in bed
with rhenmatism. Their boy was
over to my bonse and said they
were so bad they had to do tbe
cooking. I told him of Chamber-
lain’s Pain Balm and bow It cored
me, he got a bottle aud it cored
them in a week.” 50 eente a bot-

The Modern Ltverv fUble Office.
While the great modern livery stable
is provided on every one of its four,
five, six stories with every posable con-
trivance for the prompt and efficient
dispatch of business, its office, also
quite in keeping with modern ideas, is
equipped with every thing that can con-
tribute to the convenience and comfort
of those who have occasion to visit it.
Here, for example, is such an office:
It is a room of ample dimensions, with
hardwood floor, which is covered with
rugs. Railed off in ODe corner
is the desk of the clerk and
bookkeeper. In another corner is
the desk of tbe superintendent. In
the best corner, farthest from the
tracks of persons passing to and fro,
by a window and so placed that the
light upon it comes from the left, is a
desk for the use of patrons of the
stable. The chairs are leather-covered
and very comfortable. There are pic-
tures on the walls. Lining a deep al-
cove, which is practically a smaller
room opening from one side of the
office, are lockers for whips and other
belongings of those whose horses are
kept in the stable. Standing in the
alcove is a brass newspaper rack upon
which are hanging files of all the daily
newspapers, and of the weekly illus-
trated papers, and of the journals es-
pecially devoted to the horse.—N. Y
Sun.
What Rattled Him.
Detroit has among Its possessions a
young man-around-town whose repu-
tation as a borrower who never pays
back was supposed to be known to
everybody. The other evening he was
playing billiards.
“By George,” exclaimed the friend
who was paying for the game, after
they had played some time, “you can’t
play a little bit to-night. What's the
matter with you? You must be rat-
tled.”1
“I am,” waa the reply, almost gasped
out
The other party was frightened.
“What's happened?” he asked nervi
ously.
“Why, just before we begun playing,
I struok an acquaintance on the street
for ten dollars, and he let me have -
without a word.”—Detroit Free Press.
It seems tbat the good points
of some people have all beeo bro-
ken off.
