FATTENING AND
MARKETING HOGS
By Prof. W. J. Kennedy Iowu
Experiment Station.
Tho ago at which hogs should bo
fattened will depend moro or less
upon tho market demands nnd tho
locality. In somo countries and in
different sections of tho samo country
wo ilnd that thero aro differences In
tho market demnnds. As a general
rulo in this country tho fnt or lard
hog hns been tho most popular.
When such Is tho caso It Is better to
market hogs at tho weight of from
300 to 400 pounds. These seem to
meet with tho most popular favor of
tho buyers.
In other sections of tho country
nnd In other markets whero tho bacon
typo of hog Is preferred over tho fat
or lard hog thoy must bo marketed at
nn cnillor nge. Tho best weight for
tho bacon hog Is between 1C0 nnd 200
pounds. Thoy do not rcquho to bo
nearly as fat ns the fnt or lard hog;
still on tho other hnnd a bacon hog
is by no menns a thin animal. They
should havo n covering of about ono

and must bo firm In quality. Whero
tho bacon hog Is desired as n gen-
ernl rulo It will bo found most profit-
able to havo tho hogs fattened nnd
finished for market at about live nnd
one-hnlf or six months of ago.
Whero tho fat or lard hog Is desired
tho most profitable ago to market In
order to meet tho requirements of tho
market would bo about eight to ten
months. Hogs of this ngo should
weigh In tho neighborhood of 300 to
350 pounds. As n goncrnl rule hoiv-
over It may bo stated that tho great-
est and especially tho most econom-
ical gains nro mndo on tho younger
animals. This Is ono point In favor
of ho bacon hog.
Tho season of tho year nt wlidih
tho fattening should bo dono will de-
pend upon vnilous conditions. In n
great many Instances hogs nro fnt
toned during tho fnll and cnily winter.
In other Instances they nro fattened
during tho spring nnd early summer.
Generally speaking tho most econom-
ical gains can bo mndo during tho
early fnll or spring months. The
weather Is then not too cold nor too
warm In fact about right for Clio

RAGS BRIDAL GIFT
ACCEPTABLE PRESENT FOR THE
YOUNG MATRON.
Scrapbag for Emergencies Was the
Idea of a Wise Mother Really
Good Sense Marks Such
an Offering.
The spic nnd spanness of tho aver-
age trousseau leaves no place for a
piece bag. Everything Is new nnd
In n house otherwise well supplied tho
young matron is often at a. loss to
find n piece of linen to staunch n
wound or n scrap of muslin to stay his
buttons.
The sisters of a recent brldo were
amused to ilnd their mother collecting
old rolls of muslin odd bits of linen
remnnnts of calico and even ends of
old stockings to send across tho con-
tinent to a newly married pair.
Tho family remonstrances ns to
"wasto of expressago on rags" had no
effect. Tho older housekeeper knew

has been n wide demanded for tho
printed cotton tablo cover In theso

Theso nro used for bedroom llbrnry
nnd sitting room tables. Thoy sell
for small prices from a dollar up. Tho

often In tho cashmere pattorn.
Largo peacocks in tho brilliant blues
nnd greens strut over tho surface and
hugo baskets of red flowers mako n

Tho woman who needs now tnblo
covers and who docs not wish to In
vest In expensive affairs could not do
better than chooso one of theso.
In n bedroom or sitting room whoro
old colonial furniture Is used these
tnblo cloths nro especially effective
for they wero much used in tho porlod
that gavo birth to tho mahogany furni-
ture. Ono decorator has used four of tho
smnller covers with baskets of roses
.nd tho cashmero border ns a cover-
ing for a bed. It Is quite effective nnd
harmonizes entirely with tho rest of
tho room which Is colonial.
Fur-Edged Skirts.
Thero Is a revival of an old fashion
this season to edgo skirts with fur
bands.
This will suit admirably for tho
woman who hns odd bits of fur that
sho docs not know how to uso Ono
band may bo ndded or two or three.
These should not bo put on short
skirts but on those worn for dress
occasions.

havo no moro welcomo gift in that
distant city than that despised scrap-
bag for emergencies.
Another seasoned housekeeper gives
to every brlde-to-bo among her friends
what she calls "Tho -Bride's Friend."
It is nothing moro than nn claborato
patch bag but proves tho most popu-
lar kind of nn engagement present.
Sho makes a largo laundry bag of
art linen in some bright color binds
It with white linen tape supplies it
with several pockets Insldo and out

Tho bag is then stocked with scrub
cloths pieces of muslin for ironing

oral yards of gray canton flannel for
wiping up floors chamois skins rolls
of old muslin nnd linen nnd good
sized pieces of silk nnd cloth.
Tho fnmo of this odd gift has been
spread by enthusiastic young house-
keepers who have found it a delight
to have a supply on which to draw bo-

of their own.
NEWEST THING IN PERFUMESi.
American Beauty Sachet Has Caught
Fancy of Fashion.
Each year sees a now fashion in per-
fume. Tho winter of 1900 will glvo to
the American Beauty tho applo of soc-cess.-
This Is tho new perfume and too
ultra-fashlonablo thing of tho day is to
havo it in sachet or n drop of it for
your clothes or a cako of soap to vso
on special occasions.
Tho Americans havo taken It up rot
only with patriotism but enthusiasm.
Heretofore they have always used tho
French perfumes under French nam ."a.
The sachets of this sell from 75
cents up and aro confined in an envel-
ope of American Beauty satin. Tho
odor is subtle nnd lasting.
Only n small bottle of the essence la
needed as a drop is enough for a
gown. Tho smart women put a drop
or two on a piece of gauzo or cotton
nnd tuck It away in tho evening gown.
Ono drop of It put on a blouso per-
fumes It ns though it had been put
away in a pot-pourri of American Beau-
ty rose leaves.
'with Every Frock a Flower.
Tho fad for wearing artificial posies
with tho evening frock has returned
with a vengeance nnd nil tho shops
aro showing natural-' king roses
llly-of-thc-valley sprays gardenias or-
chids and violet clusters ready to pin
to tho bodice. Theso made-to-ordor
flowers aro however not an economy
for In most cases tho prlco runs far
abovo that of an ordinary blossom of
tho same kind. Tho artificial flowor
of course has tho advantago of keep-
ing its usefulness far beyond tlio
brief baauty of tho real blossom.
The Width of the Skirt.
Tho dressmakers havo decided that
about tho best width for tho modorii
clinging skirt Is two yards or a fow
Inches over. Street skirts cut nboire
tho ankles mado of rough fabrics aro
not always this wide but tho two
yards In unstiffened sntln or tulle giro
enough fullness at footllno.
In massnglng wrinkles uso tho IpB
of tho fingers and thumb always
working across tho lino; never follow
tho lines of creases.
Washing tho eyes morning and night
In wntcr as hot as it can bo borne in
a wonderful tonic for thoso useful
servants which nro so easily injured.
When n child Is restless from tooth-
ing it can ofton bo quieted by giving
it a warm bath. Tho water should bo
ns hot as can bo endured without
burning. Do not allow tho child to
stny in tho bath long or weaknoss
will follow.
To reduco tho hips stand up straight
and by bonding forward mako tho
fingertips touch tho floor. Do not
woar tight clothing and do not bend
tho knees. This ia an old exorclso
known as tho "setting-up" exerclso
nnd is much used in tho army for this
purpose.
Often when ono hns a cold tho oyes
feel hot nnd nro red nnd inflamed. Tho
best way to effect a euro is to bathe
tho eyes frequently with a solution of
boric ncid nnd water. If tho eyes do
not feol improved aftor your cold dis-
appear it would bo woll to consv't
ou oculist.

n specialist in skin diseases but I
received very llttlo relief. I tried
every known remedy with tho samo
