FEEDING HoGs-AN EXPERIMENT
Professor S. Johnson, Superinten-
dent of the College Farm, Maine
made an experiment in feeding swine
last fall, the result of which was as
follows: 1.-THE 18th of November
four Chester pigs were weighed and
put in two pens, two in each. The
two in pen No. weighed SO lbs,
and have been fed on whole corn,
The two in pen No. 2 weighed rs lbs,
and have been fed on meal. EQUAL
values of corn and meal have been
given to each, and equal quantities OF
swill. December 18th they were
weighed again. The two in No.
weighed 182 Tbs, and the two IN No.
2, 123 lbs. The two fed on meal
gained on the other two IL lbs. which
at II cents pound, would amount
to 81 A, which is more than the cost
of the meal fed, and gives a net gain
over the others of 81 2-7 per cent
In this experiment, 81 ID of born
equaled so ID OF meal. This month
the pigs in No. l will be fed on meal,
and those in No. 2 on corn"

Children grow up nothing
on earth grows so fast as children.
1t was but yesterday, and that lad
was playing with tops, buoyant
boy. He is a man and gone now !
There is no moro childhood for him
or for us. Life has claimed him.
When beginning is made, il is like
raveling stocking stitch by stitch
gives way till all are gone The
house has not a child in it--thero is
no more noise ia The hall-boys rush
ing in peil-mell il is very orderly
now. There are no more skates or
sheds, bats, balls or slisgs loft scat
tered about. Things are neat enough
now. There is now no delay for
sleepy folks there is no longer any
task, before You lie down, of look
ing after anybody, and tucking IN
the bedclothes. There are no dis
putes to settle, nobody to get off to
school, no complaint, no importuni-
ties for impossible things, no rips to
mend, no fingers to tie up, no faces
TO be washed, no collars to be ar
ranged. There was never such peace
in the house 1t would sound like
music TO have some feet to clatter
down the stairs. Oh for some chill
dren's noisel What used to all US,
that we were hushing their loud
laugh, checking their noisy frolic,
and reproving their slamming and
banging the doors?
We wish our neighbors would only
lend us an urchin or two 10 make a
little noise in these premises. A home
without a child 1t is like a lantern
and no candle; garden aud no flow
ers; a vine and no grapes brook
and no water gurgling and gushing
in its channel. We want to be tried
to be vexed, to be run over, to hear
children at work with all it's varie-
ties. During the secular days, this
is enough marked. But it is Sabbath
that puts our homes to the proof
That is the Christian family day
The intervals of public worship are
long spaces OF peace. The family
seems made up on that day. The
children are at homo. You can lay
your hands upon their heads. They
seem to recognize the greater and
lesser love-to God and TO friends
The house is peaceful, but not still.
There is low and melodious trill of
children in it. But the Sab bath
comes too still now. There is a 81
lence that aches in the ear. There
is too much room at the table. too
much at the hearth. The bedrooms
are world too orderly. There is
too much leisure, and too little care.
Alas what mean these things? Is
somebody growing old? Are these
signs and tokens2 Is life waning ?
