All admire a good looking hog, and
there is no reason whv good looks
should not go with the highest useful
ness, but neither good looks nor fancy
breeding should stand for tt moment
In the way of the bog that combines
vigor of constitution, growthiness and
reasonably early maturity with i form
pleasing to the eye. When we come lo
the final test of beauty, ‘pretty is as
pretty does." The prettiest hog after
all, is the one that is most profitable;
the one that makes the most and best
pounds of gain from a hundred pounds
of the most inexpensive dry matter;
the one that makes the largest contri
bution toward providing for the fam
ily necessities; toward meeting the in
terest on the mortgage, and to paying
the mortgage itself; for the addition
to the house, the new carpet, the piano
or organ, the new dresses for the girls,
or their education at school.
If the breeders of any breed depart
from the practical hog they make a
mistake, fur sooner or later the com
mon sense farmer will demand the
common sense hog, and will waive any
preference he may have for particular
color or hair, curl of tail or droop of
ear. If breeders of any breed depart
from tills for any considerable length
of time farmers may say little about It.
but they will buy some other breed
that more nearly meets their require
ments.

And who knows but that God, beyond

Storm Left Hawk With Only One

patch.
Lightning did some queer stunts here
during a storm last night, among them
the knocking of all but a solitary feath
er from the body of a mouse hawk,
which, strange to relate, still lives to
bear mute evidence of the occurrence.
The hawk was found under the tree
which had been struck the following
morning, when the hands on the I. D.
Stone farm were inspecting the work of
the storm. The bird was barely alive,
and stripped of all but the one feather
presented a sorry appearance. It was
taken to the house and fed and bids
fair to recover.

Where the Dogs Go to Church.
From thq Florence Times.
At the Methodist district conference
held at Hartsville last month a resolu
tion was offered by the committee on
church property and unanimously
adopted by the conference urging the
trustees of the several charges through
out the Florence district to forbid the
attendance of dogs at church during
tlie hours of worship, such being not
only a nuisance, but an embarrassing
and dangerous nuisance.

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.
g Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria
In many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy.”
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Cas
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients.”
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Cas
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use It for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.”
Dr. J. B. Elliott, cf New York City, says: “Having during the past bIx
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children.
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: ‘Tour Castoria is an Ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an.
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.”
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds tha
esteem of the medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and chil
dren. In fact, it Is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.”
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria ha3 saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from thi3 locality as to its efficiency
and merits.
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children’s disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.’*

FROGS HOP OUT I
flF THE CLOUDS;
Veracious Mississippi River
Captains Vouch for i
Phenomenon.
St. Louts, Special: That there was a
rain of frogs at Alton is vouched for
by George Maguire, engineer of the
ferry boat •‘Minnie," ami by Captain
W. F. Fluent, Captain W: T. Ashlock
and Peter Jost, rlvermen, who say they
couldn't nature-fake if they tried.
"If it didn't ram trogs, where did
they come from?” asks Maguire. "One
minute they weren't here and the next
minute there were thousands und
thousands of them. They came right
out of the clouds.
“When the rain began to fall there
wasn't a frog In sight. I thought the
drops sounded pretty loud as they'hit
the deck. It wasn't the drops at all.
It was frogs—little fellows with green
backs and white fronts.
“I thought at first that they had Just
climbed up out of the river. But on the
lower deck they were all up near the |
bow where it was open to the sky. I |
went up on the top deck, which has no
roof, and they were so thick that I
could hardly walk. I
"Then 1 looked at the levee. The
whole river front was on the hop. Tho
frogs were so thick on the railroad
tracks that a train couldn't have
passed."
"I've seen it rain fish several times,"
said Captain Fluent, "but this is the
first time I ever was out in a showor
of frogs. Of course they came from
the clods. They just came tumbling
down when it started to rain.
"My wharf boat was covered with
them and they were almost up to the
building line on the levee.”
These statements are verified by
Captain Ashlock and Peter Jost. Scient
ists have noted many instances of fish
{mil frogs falling from the clouds dur
ing rainstorms. The accepted theory Is
that they are drawn up from lakes and
ponds In a funnel-shaped tornado cloud
and remain in the air until the .cloud
breaks up and falls in the shape of
rain, sometimes hundreds of miles from
where they were picked up.
On the day following a cyclone at
Snyder, Okla., August Meiners, during
a rainstorm, picked up a perch two
inches long in front of T16 North Broad
way, St. Louis. E. D. Evans picked up
another, and on the following day, af
ter another heavy rain, a carp weigh
ing almost a pound was found near
Vandeventer and Lincoln avenues.
Dickens’ All the Year Round for 1891
says: "In South America an urea 4'i
miles square was found strewn with
fish. In England, at a considerable dis
tance from the sea, a pasture was
found scattered over with ahout a I
bushel of fish. Herring fell In 1828 In ,
Klnross-shrine. and instances of sim
ilar falls are legion. The fish are
taken up in a waterspout, borne along
by the currents and dropped, it may be,
hundreds of miles away. Just as dust
containing small animals and plants is
dropped on some vessel.”
Now, who'll say all stories from Alton
are nature fakes?

“In the spring a young man’s fancy
Lightly turns’’—you know the rest.
That’s why vernal thoughts of Nancy
Now inflame your poet’s breast.
Nancy’s eyes they shine like planets,
Nancy’s hair's like gold refined;
Nancy’s waist—well, you could span It*
Compass with your hands combined.
Nancy's skin for spotless whiteness
Challenges the driven snow;
Nancy’s sv«|* for airy lightness
Leaves behind the mountain roe.
Nancy’s heat beats true and tender,
Nancy's bosom’s free from guile,
And what language e’er could render
Nancy’s frank and artless smile?
Ne’er capricious, ne’er designing,
Never forward, never coy,
She’s the girl for whom I’m pining.
She alone’s my source of joy.
Only Nance the nuptial fetter
Hound my willing neck could tie.
What? You say you’ve never met her?
’Tis no wonder. Nor have I!

PRESIDENTS MAY HAVE
PERSONAL RESIDENCE
--
t
Washington, Special: Once more is the
suggestion brought forward of building
a new' residence for the president of the
United States. The Idea has been In many
minds for years. This year the public
buildings appropriation bill contained an
item of $550,000 to purchase a large tract
of land in a sub-division of Washington,
nominally for park purposes, but, as
many people believe, with the purpose of
ultimately making it a site for a private
family residence for the president.
The idea is to have two residences, an
official and a personal one. It is not pro
posed to deprive the beautiful and his
toric old White House of the place it re
tains In the traditions and the affections
of the nation. Rather, the object is to
preserve it as the heirloom of the nation;*
an official palace In which the state func
tions will be held, but more accessible to
the general public than It Is now, and
to be used as the official building of the
president. The private residence would
be two miles north, on the second pla
teau above the Potomac, in the midst
of the finest residence section of the city,
and accessible from the present White
House by way of a fine boulevard.
The proposed site would be an ideal lo
cation for the private residence of the
president. There is an ample area of
ground, and it is peculiarly susceptible
of landscape gardening and architectural
adornment.
The expectation is that there will bo
no immediate demand for placing a new
executive residence upon it, and for some
time it will be held as a park. How
ever, the Idea of taking the executive
family's residence away from the White
House grows more certain as the years
pass. In the first place, the section in
which the White House stands is by no
means what It was a generation ago.
The growth of the city has carried the
best residence section farther and far
ther away from the historic old loca
tion. On one side of the White House
stands the treasury, and at the other the
huge pile occupied by the state, war and
navy departments.
The White House Is at best a semi
public building all the time. During cer
tain hours of the day it Is opened to
visitors, who may wander—provided they
are equipped with the easily obtained
cards—through a large part of the struc
ture at will. The part of the structure
in which the real privacy of a home may
be maintained is restricted, and in many I
ways unsatisfactory. It is small wonder
that the mistress of the White House I
should yearn, as more than one of them |
has done, for the privilege of a home i
which should be secure from intrusion
and interference. |

THE BACON HOG.
Owing to the fact that corn Is not I
grown In northeastern Mi' sota as j
safely and abundantly as iley and
peas it has been considered more |
prof)table to raise a bacon breed of I
tings rather than the lard breeds. For
this reason a bacon breed (tho large j
Improved Yorkshire) has been raised \
exclusively on the experiment farm.
It is tilts breed that Is raised so ex- I
tensively and profitably In Canada and
on precisely the same feed as is
grown here In abundance, clover, roots,
barley, peas and the by-product of the
dairy, skim milk.
The brood sows on the experiment
farm are wintered on second crop
clover, boiled roots, skim milk and a
very small allowance of grain (one
half pound per head a day). They are I
comfortable during the day, exercise
being very necessary. They are bred
In December to furrow In March, and
only one litter a year. Fall pigs don't
pay. Only brood sows should be car
ried through the winter, and when a
sow has proved to be a good mother
she should be kept as long us she Is
productive, which Is generally from
four to six years.
Tho bulletins that have appeared
previous to this and a few to follow
concluding the 1907 report, will be put

this publication may securo the same
upon application.

Echo of Bismarck’s Dismissal.
From the London Globe.
A new version of the events leading up
to Prince Bismarck's dismissal from the
post of Imperial chancellor Is furnished
by the Aargauer Nachrichten, which the
Berliner Tugeblatt regards as not Im
probable. According to this account,
which Is published 111 Connection with
the death of Dr. Roth, late Swiss minis
ter In Berlin, the Swiss federal council
In 1890 desired a workmen's conference to
be held at Berne, whereas lCmperor Wil
liam II. convened a labor conference at
Berlin, to which Prince Bismarck ob
jected. The Imperial chancellor thereupon
privately visited Dr. Roth and pressed
him to Insist on Berne as the seat of the
conference. The emperor, hearing of
I’rtnce Bismarck’s visit, himself went to
Dr. Roth ut dead of night and satisfied
himself of the truth of the report. The
following day the emperor dismissed
Prince Bismarck and at the same ttme
presented Dr. Roth with a portrait of
himself, bearing the autograph Inscrip
tion: “In memory of March 19, 1890.’’
