Ninety years ago, March 25th, there was born in “Putnam County, New York State, Fanny Jane .Cros- by who is known the world over as the Writer of the best known hymns, such as “Pass me not, 0 gentle Saviour.” “Jesus keep me near the Cross,” “To the “Fork,” “Blessed Assurance,” “All the Way my Saviour leads me." “I am thine, O Lord.” “Rescue the Perishing,” “We shall know each other there,” “Just a word for Jesus,” “Saved by Grace.” and “Safe in the arms of Jesus.” The mere enumeration of these titles, will, to 'those fam- iliar with hymns at all, sufficiently indicate the important place the authoress has filled in the modern Christian world. IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE Yet Fanny Crosby has been blind i from infancy. When a few weeks old. a physician treated her wrongly tor inflammation of the ; eyes with disastrous results to her f fa sight. Yet she had not a word of blame for that physician. Very its early she accepted her lot with the l utmost cheerfulness.‘ The first i verses she composed at the age 1 51 of eight were the following: l “Oh what a happy child I am, iltl Although I cannot see! lb I am resolved that in the world, I Contented I Will be. to How many blessings I enjoy, 1.1 That other people don’t, Go weep or sigh because I’m blind i n if I cannot. nor I won t. 3 c' Instead of complaining, she ac-l cepted her blindness as an oppor-! tunity to do.work from which she E would have been hindered by the i: distractions that would have been presented to her through vision. At lif‘een she entered the New 1 York school for the blind. and 1 little such progress that in Len ‘5 years she became one of th‘ i::--: ltructors. In 1858 the m rr'v-u.

Where two sows have small lit- ters, ‘one sow may rear both. It is easily possible to make the slop too rich for young pigs. : One advantage in a flat-bottom ed trough is that it enables each Epig to secure a better share eof 1 the feed. As a machine for converting "term products into meat, and thus into money. the hog stands at the l I :head of all farm animals. A good growth, and development of bone is essential in {a hog kept for breeding. Air-slaked lime is a cheap. good disinfectant. and can often be used to a good advantage by sprinkling over the sleeping quar- ters. NOTES FOR HOG RAISERS. It is a good plan to have. some warm. thin slop ready to give a saw as soon as she is through far- rowing and shows an inclination to get up. W’hen necessary to discard old Iowa. select the young one: from dams that have proved themselves ‘ good animals. . 1 Do not be hasty in shifting from one kind of stock to; another. The man who sticks to hogs, sheep or cattle through thick nad thin, will generally get out all right. a With the sows that fatrrow early, care must be taken to keep the pigs warm. It is comparatively easy to stunt the early pigs, and once stunted. they never fully re- cover irom the effects. Pigs that .have been wintered over should have their growth pushed as rapidly as possible now .in order‘to fatten before hot weather sets in. It rarely pays to attempt to fatten hogs in summer. ment, when it can be done, is to give the pigs the run of the'orch- ard during the growing season, and especially so if the orchard is swell seeded to clover.
