Fat hogs command such a good price on the market at present that we are tempted to fatten our yearling sows and convert them into cash. If we do. we are apt to make a serious mistake. Hogs are high, hut they are apt to le high this time next year. Pfty-cenl corn means 5-cent hogs or better. High priced corn is causing a shrinkage in the number of bugs raised and fed. This decrease in the supply will also tend higher hog prices. Don't forget the Teachers' Institute next week. A strong program can be expected.

Mr. Brown gave u- three lectures, and has left t:s to meditate upon his hundreds Of terse sayings; many of them a lecture In Itself. There is no doubt of his brilliancy or of his mag netism. He talked evenly and quietly ; no bluster: no spread-eagleism. He kept a grip on every one; a grip no one could loosen. Mr. Brow U is not onlv distinguished as a writer of quaint philosophy, huthe is a brilliant speak er as well. Not brilliant as a rhetori cian, but as a clear and forceful think er, Whose every sentence is laden with truth and instruction.
