Farm and Garden Tips on Pigs and Geese Profit
Pigs can be raised cheaply by feeding them waste and scraps while a good fattening dog diet keeps them robust. Apples and pears should be picked before full ripening for storage, and ripe-on-tree fruit is best avoided for some varieties. Workhorse performance matters more than appearance, with fast walkers boosting plow output and profits. Goose raising is profitable, with Embden or Toulouse breeds offering high feed efficiency and strong market weight.

Butte Rises From Miner to Richest Camp in the World
The article traces Butte Montana's rapid rise from a modest mining camp to the leading producer of gold, silver, and copper. It notes 1888 outputs of 24.6 million in gold and silver, 49.6 million with copper, and projections near 59 million if two months hold. It contrasts last year’s 6 million figure to today’s 24 million, attributing the growth to Montana’s overall wealth and the camp’s decisive role.
