The fact that farming is the most lucrative, safe and certain occupation is fully sustained by its continued life and ex istance under management and direc tion that would wreck any other business on earth carried on in the same hapless, slip-shod, improvident Wiy.

When ready to ! kill, a boaid of experts were selected, i Tney used all the unproved instruments to examine the condition cf bone, muscle and blood. The hogs t bdaod lattened entirely on corn had by actual measure merit only about one-half the amount of blood to the hundred pounds cf net poife, and but little over tne half weight of actual bone to the hundred pounds of poik and the muscles were but little over half so well developed a* in the hogs fed on the nerve produc9 ing feeds, such as peas, wheat brand, I- o its, collard leaves, &c.

Beyond these ail life is dark and gloomy, and all the future hidden in a cloud of confusion and uncertanty. With us these things should not be. Continually we can be in communion, with nature in her beauty and in her unselfish home. We hourly tread the highways in nature's vast domain and meet her in our c business and in all our little transac ^tions on the farm and should learn to look up a little higer than the fields and forest around us. Our children see regularly the wild flowers blossom near our homes. They behold the lillies of the field ?" - u ' * ? ?? <-?inr>!nrp O'ravof] WlliUUUb tUiliUg \JI M? a tij v^ more gloriously than the Piince of Hebrew K?ngs. They see all the energy and power of the place arraigned against the little blades of grass which set at defiance all iflforts for their destruction and hold on to j life wiih a resolution that is inspir j ing to any faint heart. Our giils j and boys have then that free and un j trammeled latitude of thought and ! v action; that full and natural develop- ! ment cf bone and muscle which render them dangerous competitors to any antcgODist in the race for the prize in all the pursuits of life. But pleasant as are these thoughts and ^ elevating as are these privileges, they are to be left to view the practical points of farm life. In the last article I wrote some of i feeding and the different feeds. It may be proper here that I say scmev - t 3:? tained more leao rrnat Tbe ones corn-fed bad but little activity and were nice easily run down aEd exhausted by exercise than those fed on food cf neive production. The experience in the hog States has been th?t those that were fattened on blue grass, clover, <fcc, and had corn oDly as a ''fill in" were hardier and more exempt from cholera and all diseases, and when attacked had far more often the t;power to over come" tbe disease and hold on to life. All efforts so far at an entire grain fed bog have not been by a large per cent, as successful as one raised on mixed feed9 and the advantage ba9 been to those whose mixture was largely vegetable in kind. It is much better to grind up corn and cob for him than corn alone, and corn singly is a slow fattener after a few days fading, but is fed with good results when given with other feeds. Turned into a pindar patch, the hog will eat largely of the vine. Turned into a mutton corn field and he will -oon rat heartily cf ccb end stalk. He knows best bis Deeds and he is a wise owner wbo seeks earnestly to know and look for tbe poor hogs' desire. That is a good guide and by following it a man eaves money, for wasted corn is money lest, and poik saved is money made on tbe farm. If any one doubts the supreme dictation cf nature let him throw out egg shells to the chickens and observe which are anxious for them. He will quickly discover which are his lajing hens and which are not. Those hens that are fruitful and that are engaged in giving to their master a return in eggs for care and attention are the anxious ones for the shells. The growing fowls and the lazy hens and "those proud gentle men of the yard/' care but little about them, and oftentimes will not even eat them, and there is no reason they should. We often dog, tease and tantalize a poor hog for catching chickens when it is almost always the master's fault. It is an outcry of ihe same for something the hog has Lot in its system. It is generally the crime of brood sows to catch all this abuse, and she has been worn dowD aud exhausted from bringing and raising her o wner's other hogs in bis pens. Little chickens are too small to atiefy this need and flesh of some kind must meet the demand or she will pine and pine for weeks for its assistance. I have found that in kil.ing sheep, to put her to le-seif and give her the head and cffid is sufficient for most cases bat some times it will have to be repeated twice and your chicken eater has the cure, but will more easily take it up again when her needs require and wisdom will soon fill the place with j a new supply cf flesh of seme kind. Fur us to kill hogs and pour their j blood on the ground and th:ow the cffdl away when our chickens and other hogs so sorely stand in need of these things is but throwing away what it will take gold or silver to replace. Lit; lo drooping chickens can generally be raised in a short time by a few meals of animal food, and this is just the reason that tur kies always raise hardier and larger chickens than fowls; they get further from heme and catch more worms and bugs and grass hoppers.

The leading article in tbe May number is "Weltmerism?the New Era in Healing." Tni3 is a capable review of the Weltmer Me*hod of Magnetic Healing, the new science that is creating so much interest in the United States and j Europe. The article takes up the j q-cus'ion from a scientific standpoint, and shows the fundamental principles upon which the science is ba^ed. The writer visited the Weltmer Institute, at Nevada, Ho., for the purpose of research, and ^ as astounded at the marvelous cures effected. Since Professor Weltmer discovered the j new science three years ago and j commenced its practice at Nevada, over 70,000 patients have been treat ed, and the halt, the lame, and the blind have been cured. The article aho describes how the sick may be cured at a distance by a system of treatment prescribed by Professor Weltmer, upon the patients sending to him a statement of their cases. The cures effected by this method are as remarkable as when personally treated. The new science has opened up another avenue of bus ness for young men and women, and hundreds are taking the course of instruction. The Weltmer Method of j Mrtgnectic Healing is winning the j admiration of the most noted pbvsiI cians, for nearly all the cures effected i had been given up by doctors as hopeless. The remarkable success attending his discoveries has stamped Pi of. S. A. Weltmer as one of the t great men of the age.

The Textile Excelsior, a leading ! authority iu textile interests, has the | Southern cotton mill development | and of the work of Ibe Southern ' Riilway in connection with i!: "The rapid development of textile { manufacturing interests in the South- ! ern States has created a great deal of interest among writers for the j daily and trade papers. That devel- J opment has been so marked as to at- . tract not only the-attention of. men actively connected with the industry, but of economic and industrial stu- ! dents throughout the entire country. There must, of course, be certain : practical advantages for ruanufac turing, advantages of a most pronounced character, before such a development could be possible. The 1 South has these advantages. "The greater growth of the textile i industry in the South has naturally | been in the development of cotton manufacturing. And this development has been along the line of certain large railway system?, notably the Southern Railway. "In 1890, according to the returns made to the Census Bureau, there were in the States of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Cirolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia 36,203 looms and 1,533,250 spindles. Ia these same States, am .Lnntrv 1 (Ku rcpr thrro wpt-p V/u y auum j j v?v* w >i w | 95,552 looms and 3.693,030 spindles. This shows an increase of lGi per cent in the former and 147 per cent in the latter. There are in these States now 410 cotton mills, of which 211 are located on the Southern Railway. "Judging from present indications the development of the textile industry in the South has just begun. Several new mills have been located aloDg the line of the Southern Railway to be constructed within the next twelve months, and on some of them wotk has already begun. In addition to these new mills a great many of those now in operation ere adding new machinery and in other ways making preparations to enlarge their output. "A word of praise is due the Southern Railway for the work it has done in promoting cotton spinning and other textile manufacturing in the South. It is doing Dotable and laudable work in developing the rich section of the South that it traverses. The many Dew mills that the people along its lines appreciate the railroad's (fl'jrts and are endeavoring to j assist it in utilizing the advantages j that nature has placed within their j reach. "The fact that the Southern has ! been able to equip and managr one j of the best railway systems of the j country shows conclusively that the j South is prospering, and under like ' conditions will continue to prosper." j Bisxnark's Ire a Narva i Was the result of his splendid I health.
