GRASS FOR BREEDING HoGs.-A CORES
pondent of the Western Rural says "a
goo isuI Ply of grass for breeders is of untold
value. They should be put on pasture two
or three weeks before breeding time, as it
increases the milk greatly. Breeders, on a
good supply of grass, with some corn, will
not only retain their flesh, but grow contin-
ually, and be easily fattened in the fall or
winter, while the pigs will be large and
healthy, and their growth will not be check
ed during the winter If breeders, with
their pigs, are confined in small yards dur
ing the summer, and fed on grain alone, it
will take two of the former to make a shad-
ow in the fall while the latter will be small
and poor, and go into winter quarters good
subjects for disease"

TEMPER AND HOUSES. downing says

on the kind of house which he occupies.

stoops without seats. Take a memorandum

HEALTH HINTS 1t is better to sleep in
a room comfortably warm than it is to sleep
in very cold room, provided there is good
ventilation, for the reason that less clothing
is required to keep comfortable. The less
clothing consistent with comfort, the better,
whether awake or asleep. Warm air is just
as good as cold air, and ventilation is more
easily secured when there is a difference of
temperature between the air in the room
and that outside. The way Of warming and
ventilating sleeping rooms, is to have an
open crate and open windows. The months
most fatal to life, are February and March,
August and September the first two for
throat and lung difficulties, and the latter
two for stomach and bowel complaints
May and June are the. healthiest months
in the wear.

Sailing MILK Cows.-William Egger,
Swiss dairyman of experience, states the
method practiced id Switzerland by the
best stock keepers in sailing stock. He says
COWS should be salted early every morning,
and if they are fed in the stable the salt
should be given before foddering Sailing
in tEis way improves their appetite ; they
drink with more regularity, are kept in bet
ter health, and give more milk than when
salted in the usual way as practiced by dairy
men in America. He thinks it very injuri
Gus to salt milk cows once or twice week, as
they will lick too much for the day. To
have stock to do well, they must be fed with
regularity, every day alike, and never given.
too much of anything at one time.
He says, throwing little salt before the
COWS in the morning, is much better than
allowing them to have free access to it dur
ing the day or at all times, as they choose
TO take it; because, it is not taken with
regularity, which has very important in-
auence in lessening the average yield of
milk. Cows, he says, should never be sal
ted after taking water, and then have no
chance to drink for hours, as the irritation,
on account of thirst, will of itself depreciate
the quality of milk and lessen the quantity.
These facts he says he learned from one of
the best and most successful stock keepers
in Switzerland, and has found, by repeated
experiments in his own practice, to be the
best course to be adopted by dairyman in
sailing COWS, in order to get the most milk
aud, at the same time, keep them in good
health

INFLUENCE OF TREES UroN HEALTH.
DIR. Max Won Pettenkotfer, of Mu-
Mich, Germany. has been investigating
the sanitary influences of foresisifor
some time, and has just published
mass of information, gathered from
widely different sources, which is Of
much Importance. The gist of it is
that forests have very appreciablo
effect in checking the progress of chol-
era or other contagious diseases; that
well-wooded countries, other things
being eqnal, are the healthiest, and
that marked sanitary changes are sure
to result from the liquidation of ter
ritory by the cutting down of its trces,
or by the planting of gardens and for
ests where no trees exist. In proof of
these theories, DIR. Pettenkoffer has
many reports from medical men in In-
dia, showing that jungle villages arc
nAch less liable to be visited by chOl-
era than Others. and that villages
densely shaded with tamarind trees are
remarkably exempt from the disease,
rs shown by observations through .
long series of years. The statistics OF
cholera in Germany for the last forty
years, also show that the well-wooded
provinces have had much lower rate
of mortality than the, Others Bearing
upon the influence of trees upon the
general healthfnlness of country are
the statements that the pestiience has
entirely disappeared from Cairo, Egypt,
since Mahomet Ali transformed tho
swamps around it into beautiful gar
dens and plantations, and caused great
groves of olives to be established,
while the reputation of the Roman
Campagna for unhealthiness has been
wholly obtained since the hewing down
of the sacred groves under the govern
ment of Gregory XIII.
