A BOY TO BE TRUSTED.

We wish every one of our young readers
felt the importance of winning the confidence
of parents, teachers and friends, by perfect ve-
racity and simplicity. The following incident
may be of service to them:
We once visited public school. At re-
cess a little fellow came up and spoke to the
teacher; as he turned to go down the plat
form. the master said THAT is boy can
trust. He never failed me-" We followed
him with our eye and looked at him when he
took his seat after recess. He had fine, o.
pen, manly face, We thought good deal a
bout the masters remark. What character
had that boy earned. He had already got
what would be worth more to him than for
tune. II would be passport into the best
store in the city. and what is better into the
confidence and respect of the whole commu-
nifty. We wonder If the boys know how they
are rated by other people. Every boy in the
neighborhood is known, and opinions are
formed of HIM he has character, either IA

tured SOW she will become quiet and gentle
again.
GREEN FooD IS THE CuRE.-As II is usu-
ally scare at this season you ought TO provide
for the emergency by saving roots to feed
them. Formerly | used potatoes for this
purpose, but since the potatoe rot commenced
have used sugar bee.s, and always have
some on hand to feed to my sows for several
weeks before they come in. They arc very
fond Of them and eat them greedily raw. A
half peck more day with but little 9TH
er food will keep a SOW in the first condition.
Potatoes are as good, and carrots, parsnips,
mangel wurtzel. or turnips will DO, but it may
be necessary to boil them and mix them with
other food. II you have no roots Of any
kind you must resort to sulphur, and give a
large tablespoonful two or three times a week
for several weeks before littering. Give also
a little charcoal occasionally. and always be
kind gentle to them, and they will never
attempt 20 kill their pigs
A common mistake is to move the SOW to
another pen shortly before she litters. This
is very irritating to her. She should be sep
arated from the others aud moved to her
new quarters several weeks before her time
is out. She must be kept sheltered, and a
week before she litters supplied with all the
straw she will want, which will be better for
being short After this her nest must not be
molesied, and she ought not to be disturbed
in any way, as it is the nature Of all animals
to seek privacy at this period. Hogs are more
true to their time than other animals and
rarely vary more than day or two. But if
you want to be sure to lose your pigs, feed
your SOW on corn and cob meal. This will
make her very costive, fed without much 9TH
er food. Then when she is sick and feverisb,
and consequently cross, irritate her yet more
by driving her from the nest she has become
so accustomed to: then let the boys tease and
abuse her every day, and il the poor madden
ed animal does not destroy her young SO fast
as they are born, it will not be your fault.

WHY sows DESTROY THEIR YOUNG

The following seems sensible article on
this subject and at this period of the year is
deserving the attention of the farmer. Il is
from correspondent Of The Homestead
| have always kept breeding sows, and in
early life met with many vexations losses
from the sows destroying their pigs. Com
mon sense told me that this must be caused
by come treatment by which man thwarted
the designs of nature, as in the natural state,
animals may be left in safety to their instincts.
Of all which the strongest is love for the
young. This led me to study hogs closely
during the latter period Of pregnancy, and
watch all their ways up to the time of pig
ging. also noticed my neighbors' treatment
Of their breeding sows, and by comparing re-
suits learned what caused this danger, and
how to guard against it.
Codi0eness and is accompanying evils are
the main cause of sous destroying their young
and proper food is the preventive and etre.
have never known a sow to eat her pigs
in autumn, when running at large with
plenty Of green food bnt with hardly any
exception, sows litlering early in the spring

have had them become so savage as to attack
me hercey, though at other times perfectly
gentle. If not stopped. this frenzy may in
crease with the pains Of labor. and the SOW
will then destroy her young, or any other
living thing within her reach. Cure the
costiveness, and this restlessness and irrita-
ton will be cured, and IL she was agood-na-
