MODES OF FATTENINa HOGS.

Not few farmers feed corn in the ear,
and some even raw potatoes, to their fat
tening swine. One-half would probably
be an under estimate of the loss by this
easiest but most slovenly and costly prac-
tice.
A largo number mix dry meal with
cold water or slops, and Immediately feed
it to their hogs. The loss in this case is
not as much as in feeding the corn un--
ground, but it cannot be less than from
fifteen to twenty-five per cent.
Still others cook their meal with their
potatoes, both thoroughly, completely mix
ing the one with the other, and then ad-
ding to the conglomerate water sufficient
to make thick mush, present it to the
grati6ed and hearty eaters. thereby saving
nearly all the fat producing value con-
tanned in the grain and the potatoes.
For several years we have adopted this
plan, Everything fed to our hogs, while
tattening, is cooked but nothing is ground.
To one bushel and half of potatoes (mash-
ed) we add three pecks of dry corn in the
kernel, and then with liberal supply Of
water in kettle almost steam-tight we
cook for at least three or four hours. The
kernels are then three or four times their
original size and the potatoes are mush.-
and when thoroughly mixed the dish is as
acceptable as can be presented to lot of
fattening hogs And as every particle of
food is Cor can beg reduced to paste by
the slightest mastication, much more by
the action of the stomach, there can be-
little if any loss.
The advantages arc, that you save the
time of taking your grain to the mill, the
toll, and having your grain always at hand
in proper condition to use; there is a
steadiness about the food that is one of the
main elements of success in feeding ami
mails.
An addition of few quarts of rye and
an occasional peck of oats, making little.
variety, is always a judicious plan; either
of which are as easily cooked as heavier
and lighter kernels of corn.

COOKING FOOD FOR STOCK.

The Massachusetts, State Board of Ag-.
riculture discussed this subject at their
meeting in December, 1867, as we find in
the report of that body for 1868. The
speakers were all men of high character.
mature years, experienced in breeding,
keeping and fattening cattle, most of them
engaged in the dairy business-and there
was, but little difference of opinion as to
the use and value of food cooked in some
way. Professor Agassiz, the illustrious
naturalist, shows in the following cloar.
plain, and unmistakable language, the rea-
sons why food for domestic animals should
be pr, pared, it being promised that the
food We give our stock is not that which
nature provides at first hands, but is dried
and mechanically altered in many ways
Soaking or steaming restores to its wonted
bulk and succuence; and as Professor
Agassiz said of this mode of preparing
food in general: 1T must save the Sc
cretion of saliva to an enormous extent,
and therefore relieve the animal from -
physiological labor which is very manifest
have no doubt that must be the chief
source of relief to the cattle, because dry
food must be softened in order to be di-
gested; and it must be done by the Sc
cretions of the mouth-by the secretory
surfaces of the alimentary canal-and, in
fact, by all the secretory surfaces of the
digestive apparatus.
Now, where does that como from From
the blood and if you supply the food so
far softened that the animal is relieved
from that physiological labor, you place
your animal in much better condition
for his work. have no doubt that there
is the explanation of your resuts-that
your steam performs a part Of the opera
ton which your animal has to do itself by
its secretion"

velvet bonnet, with feathers to match as q
decoration.
The thick pile velvet of blue-b black cast
is recommended for cloaks, as the pile is
is not easily fattened, and the color does
not turn rusty brown. as German velvet
is apt to do.
The most appropriate trimming for vel
vet is, undoubtedly, either guipure or
Chantilly. with handsome heading of
passen,eaterie initiating embroidery or,
embroidery itself.
Satin is not used on velvet as much as
formerly, but has been superseded by
faille and gros-grain, arranged in folds,
plaitings, and variours handmade trim
mings.
Another very effective and elegant
though expensive trimming for velvet cloaks
is band of ostrich feathers heading the
lace. These garnitures will all be re-
placed in mid-winter by bands of sable,
mink, chinchilla, or grebe.
Cloth cloaks will take the shape of
sacques, and half fitting paletots, much
longer than those of last season, andvof
the French circular. Dark tints, navy
blue, Egyptian brown, olive green-will
be the favortes. Handsome braids and
galoons, gros-grain, in folds stitched on
by machine, velvet in bias bands, and
rich bullion or tassel fringe, will be the
appropriate garnitures.
Jackets of velvet cloth, trimmed with
bands of plush or grebe, will be much in
vogue.
Scotch wraps, worn in various pictur-
csque styles, will be very popular, as they
have been for several season past.
Only the most expensive shawls are
fashionably worn, and these are only ap-
propriate with trained dresses for ccre-
monious occasions or carriage wraps.
Draping an India shawl so that it can be
worn with short costume detracts from
it's distinguc appearance, and soon makes
it look shabby and worn.
Elegant carriage wraps are lined with
plush or fur.

Remarkable Works Of Human Labor.

Nineveh was fourteen miles long, eight
wide, and forty miles round, with wall
one hundred feet high, and thick enough
for three chariots abreast Babylon was
fifty miles within the walls, which were
seventy-fve feet thick and one hundred
high, with one hundred brazen gates
The temple of Diana, at Ephesus, was
420 feet to the support of the roof. It
was hundred years in building. The
largest of the pyramids is 4S1 feet high
and 653 on the sides; its base covers
eleven acres. The stones are about sixty
feet in length, and the layers are 2O8.
1t employed 100000 men in building
The labyrinth in Egypt contains 300
chambers and twelve halls. Thebes, in
Egypt, presents ruins twenty-seven miles
round. Athens was twenty-five miles
round, and contained 359, 900 citizens
and 400 slaves. The temple of Delphos
was so rich in donations, that it was
plundered of fifty millions of dollars, and
Nero carried away from it two hundred
statues. The walls of Rome were thirteen
miles round.

OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EARTH.

The american Quarterly ReUiew con-
tains letter from G. w. Irving, Esq,
giving sketch Of his visit to Marnio, a
small republic in Italy, between the Ap-
pennies, the Po, and the Adriatic. The
territory of the state is only forty miles
in circumference, and its population about
1000. The republic was founded more
than l, 400 years ago, on moral principles,
industry and equality, and has preserved
its liberty and independence amid all the
wars and discords which have ragged
around it. Bonaparte respected it, and
sent an embassy to express his sentiments
of friendship and fraternity. 1t is gov
erned by captain regent, chosen every
six months by the representatives. of the
people sixty in number who are chosen
every six months by the people. The
taxes are light, the farm-houses are neat,
the fields well cultivated, and on all sides
are seen comfort and plenty-the happy
effect of morality, simplicity and frugality

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.


There are brighter skies than these, know;
Land where no shadows lie
Fields where immortal flowers bloom,
And founts that are never dry;
There are domes where the stars are never dim,
Where the moon forever CLEANS,
And the music breath of the radiant hills
Sweeps Der the crystal streams;
For often I've caught in the time of sleep,
A gorgeous glimpse of this hidden deep,
Away in the land of dreams.
When night lets down her pail of mist
On slender cords of air,
And the purple shadows of dying day
Are teeming everywhere;
While unseen fairies chant q lay
In the lilly's crimson cells,
And the solemn voice of the harmless winds
Breaks up the dreary fells,
know by the cry of my soul within,
There's place where they shut the gates Of sin,
And the God of glory dwells.
The wall of the wind, the rivers voice,
The arch of western hill,
The beauty spread DER the living earth,
In slumbrous twilight still
The yearnings of each human heart
For a higher life than this mortal course,
Bearing the soul divine
All sure there must be beautiful land,
Where the whte-robed millions ransomed stand
Chanting their songs sublime.

DREAMS.
DR.. Watts.

In order to prove that almost any kind Of
dream can, with tolerable certainty, be ex-
cited by special classes of stimulants, NJ.
Maury caused series of experiments to be
performed on himself when asleep, which
afforded very satisfactory results.
First experiment: He caused himself to
be tickled with feather, on the lips and in
side of the nostrils. He dreamed that he
was subjected to horrible punishment. A
mask of pitch was applied to his face, and
then torn roughly off, taking with it the
skin of his lips, nose, and face.
Second experiment : A pair of tweezers
was held at little distance from his ear,
and struck with pair of scissors. He
dreamed that he heard the ringing of bells.
This was soon converted into the tocsn, and
this suggested the days of June, 1913.
Third experiment: A bottle of eau de
Cologne was held to his nose He dream
ed that he was in perfumers shop. This
excited visions of the East and he dream
ed that he was in Cairo, in the shop of
Jean Marie Farina. Many surprising ad-
ventures occurred to him there, the details
Of which were forgotten.
Fourth experiment: A burning lucifer
match was held close to his nostlils He
dreamed that he was at sea (the wind was
blowing in through the windows) and that
the magazine of the vessel blew up.
Fifthexperimcnt; He was slightly pinch
ed on the nape of the neck. He dream
ed that blister was applied, And this
recalled the recollection of a physician
who had treated him in his infancy
Sixth experiment. A piece of rcd-hot
iron was held close enough to communi-
cate sensation of heat. He dreamed that
robbers had got into the house, and were
forcing the inmates, by putting their feet
to the fire, to reveal where their money
was The idea of the robber suggested
that of Madam D'Abrantes, who, he sup
posed, had taken him for her secretary,
and in whose memoirs he had read some
account of bandits.
Seventh experiment: The word pdrafd-
gdrdnlus was pronounced in his ear. He
understood nothing, and awoke with the
recollection of a very vague dream. The
word mldman was next used many times.
He dreamed of different subjects, but
heard sound like the humming of bees.
Several days after, the experiment was re-
peated with the words Aror, Castor, Leo
more. On awaking, he recollected that he
had heard the last two words, and had
attributed them to one of the persons who
had conversed with him in his dream.
Eighth experiment: A drop of water
was allowed to fall on his forehead. He
dreamed that he was in Italy, that he was
very warm, and that he was drinking the
wine of Orvieto.
Ninth experiment A light, surrounded
by piece of red paper, was repeatedly
placed before his eyes. He daeamed of a
tempest and lightning, which suggested
the remembrance of a storm he had en-
countered in the English Channel in going
from Merlaix to Havre.
These observations are very instructive,
inasmuch as they show conclusively that
one very important class of our dreams is
due to our bodily sensations.

REMEDY FOR CANcER.-Col. Ussery, Of
the Paris Desoto, informs the editor of
the Caddo Gazette that he fully tested a
remedy for the troublesome disease re-
commended to him by Spanish woman,
a native of the county. The remedy is
this: Take an egg and break it, pour out
the white, retaining the yolk in the shell,
put in salt and mix with the yolk as long
as it will receive it; stir them together
until the salve is formed put portion
of this on piece of sticking plaster and
apply it to the cancer about twice a day.
He has tried the remedy twice in his own
family with entire success.
1t has also been tried on two cases in
Rhode Island with perfect success. Such
a remedy is within the reach of every one,
and should be known to the whole world.

write on FooLs-cap paper, and bear on as

CHARCOAL FOR HoRsEs' WINp.-"Man1

CHARCOAL FOR HoRsEs' WIND.-"Many
years ago, l recollect," says correspon-
dent of London paper, "a horse being
brought into the yard of Joseph Bignal
celebrated man for keeping hunters at
Croydon. The horse was much affected
in the wind. and could hardly move from

his regular work as hunter, with perfect

the cure. Tar is carbon, and charcoal is

think it stands to reason that the removal
of noxious grasses and fatulence from the
stomach of the horse must improve his

given with benefit in case of chronic dis
eases of the respiratory organs; but its
effects are totally different from those pro-
duced by charcoal (carbon.")

EVENING RECoLLECTIoNs.

Let not sumber close your eyes,
Before you've recollected thrice
The train of actions through the day:
Where have my feet chose out the way?
What have learned wher'er I've been,
From all Eve heard, from all I've seen?
What know more that's worth the knowing ?
What have done that's worth the doing?
What have sought that should shun?
What duties have left undons?
Or into what new follies rum
These self-nquiries are the road
That leads to virtue, pease, and God.
