EARLY FATTENING OF ANIMALS The
| philosophy of increase Of fat in animals is
that the dgestcd food not needed to supply
waste in the system, is laid up in the foim of
fat around the muscles, ready to be absor bed
again into the circulation if needed. Waste
is induced by exercise, or use of the muscles
and also by combustion in the lungs, of the
dlgcSted food, to supply animal heat
Hence, the same amount of food given in
warm weather will if digested, afford greater
surplus of fat than when fed in cold weather
Hogs or other ANNALS intended for fattenino
should be shut up this month (Sept.) Many
advocate making the size o T the fnttenng pen
so small that the animal will have but Just
room to stand of lie. While confinement
favors rest and disposition to fatten, too
close quarters are not heahhful for the animal,
which needs moderate exercise 10 promote
digestion The quality Of the flesh produced
must be somewhat impaired by any confilne-
mcnt that mtcrfcres with the health. The
appetite may be kept by change of food, a
frequent supply Of green vegetables. such as
corn. cabbage leaves, pca-vines and the refuse
of the garden. Cooked food diges;s much
more easily than raw, and is ina condition 10
yield more nourishment, and is also better
rcliShed by most kinds of stock. Cleanliness
in the iattening pens should not be overlooked
Although pigs powerfully are filthy, they are
not really so they do not delis ht in the
cfluvia Of their own droppirgs. as any one
can see by noticing that they generally APP
pioprlate one portion of the pen to filth
An occasional washing aud scrubbing with
soap suds vii, conduce much to their thrift
all animals keep in condition more easily
when The skin is kept clean and healthy.

toll out Of every bag Of meal in payment for
the grinding. as is the New England custom,
hut to which our " broth of 10y" Mike,
was an entire stranger.
One day the old Squire sent Mike with a
horse and wagon to the mill to bring home
some grain which had been sent to the Dea-
con to grind. Mike performed his task with
tolcrable dispatch but when he got back an
air Of mystery, not unmixed with satisfaction,
hung around him, and he evidently had some
thing on his mind. Noticing his manner,
the Squire began ioGuoslion him, whereupon,
after some show ofreluctance, Mike "propels'

A MYSTERY OF THE PAST-An immense
catacon5 can be seen at Rothwell, in the
interior of England, near the direct route from
Liverpool TO London. 1t is an immense vault
built of masonry, under church which
dates back apparently for its erection to
about the year $50, and contains the skele.
tons Of thirty thousand men, probably war
rIors of great size, piled ap in regular order
so that skulls and large bones only appears
on the outside of the piles. The skulls show
marks Of spear and Ratchet but no gunshot
wounds, add their owners probably fell in
mortal conflict anterior to the invention of
gunrowdcr, The vault was discovered by
accident one hundred years ago, and has no
connection with the church as far as known;
IN fact, the mystery is that there is no histor-
real evidence nor tiadiionary legend which
throws the least ligh! Upon the obscmi,y Of
It's erection. No anatomist, historian, ethnol-
"g'St, antiquarian, nor savan of any stripe.
has been able TO decide the people even. to
whom these bones once belonged. a plausi.
bic theory is that they belonged to Danish
invaders, slain oy the Sixons about the year
lUOO. Stil this is but a probability.
