HAVE THE Hoes A Coon
BED.-Farmers waste food by
not ensuring perfect ease and
comfort to their fattening ami
mails, and this will apply as well
to neat stock hogs. The same
grain fed to two pens of spring
pigs Of the same litter and the
same number-the one lot hav-
ing clean yard and a comfort
able nest, and the other living
in a mud hole, and sleeping On
the cold earth or on something
more disagreeable-in the one
case, will add in weight, at the
least, twenty per cent. more
than in the other. Give the
pigs a clean yard and a clean,
soft bed, if you would get the
worth Of your gain.

Lameness in Horses.

What is good for a horse that
has a lame shoulder which we
think was caused by founder /?
One shoulder swells a little at
times. G. O. r.
Without more definite infor-
nation it is impossible to tell
what occasions the difficulty.
Upon the subject of lameness
in horses, DIR Dadd says:
'Lameness may arise from a
great many variety of causes.
A horse with fiat Soles may be
shod so the sole rests on the
shoe, and while travelling on
soft ground he may go without
the least sign of lameness but
the moment he comes on the
pavement, he all at once be-
comes dead lame from braise,
or he may get a small pebble
between the sole and the shoe,
and thus produce the same re-
suit. A horse may in travelling
pick up a nail, or insinuate some
foreign body into the sensitive
part of the foot !; if so, he soon
shows it by limping; he may
not, however, limp in a slow
walk, but show it more when
urged to trot. Knowing how
apt horses are TO pick up for
eign bodies in the road, should
an animal become lame all at
once, the driver ought to dis
mount and see if be can dis
cover the lame limb. If there
is sufficient pain present 10 ar
rest the animals attention, he
will generally endeavor 10 show
it by some peculiar motion, such
as pointing the lame foot be-
fore Its fellow, catching x mp,
or flexing it. Having dis
covered in which limb the lame
ness exists, the foot must be
carefully examined. By scrap
ing out the parts, any foreign
body between the shoe and sole
can be easily got rid of, and
thus the cause is removed; but
if a nail shonld be discovered,
it is not so easy to remove, we
generally dress with fir balsam,
or mixed soap and sugar
which ever happens to be at
hand,-and bind some oakum
on the part, to keep out the
dirt. The subsequent treat
ment will depend upon circum-
stances. For every other kind
of lameness on the road, the
driver has no remedy but to get
the h orse to his quarters"

CURE OF STAMMERING.--The ef-
fectual cure mainly depends upon
the determination of the sufferer
to carry out the following rule -
Keep the teeth close together, and
before attempting to speak inspire
deeply; then give time for quiet
utterance, and after very slight
practice, the hesitation will be re-
lieved. No spasmodic action of
the lower jaw must be permitted
to separate the teeth when speak.

out for six months, cured me when
twenty years old. was painful,

ers. Without determination to
follow out the plan, it is of no use
attempting it.

The best mode of resting
when fatigued, says the Herald
of Health, depends upon the ia
tigue and the condition of the
person, and that is a sponge or
towel bath over the entire sur
face. Of course the tempera-
ture of the water and the vigor
and amount of rubbing must be
graduated to the strength of
the person. Its generally best

A connoisseur in the care and
raising of fowls thinks eggs laid in
May and June hatch to better adj
vantage than those laid in any
month of the year. and is of the
opinion that the cause of failure of
many eggs TO hatch chickens which
are laid in winter and early spring
is that they get SO thoroughly
chilled that their fertility is des-
troyed

CEMENT FOR FASTENING IxsrR1

CEMENT FOR FASTENING IYsTRU-
MENTS IN HANDLES.-A material
for fastening knives or forks into
:heir handles, when they have be-
come loosened by use, is a much
needed article. The best cement
for the purpose consists OF one
pound of colophony and eight
ounces of sulphur, which are to
be melted together, and either
kept in bars or reduced to pow.
der. One part of the powder is
to be mixed with half part Of
iron filings, fine sand or brick
dust, and the cavity of the han.
die is then to be filled with this
mixture. The stem Of the knife
or fork is then to be heated and
inserted in the cavity; and when
cold it will be found fixed in It's
place with great tenacity.

PLANTING ONIONS IN RDGEs.-
Mr.. Van Wyck asked the Far
mers' Club if any one present had
tried raising onions in ridges
Mr.. Lyman'said they didn't do it
in Wetherfeld, where they had
been growing onions for the last
two hundred years on the same
land. Mr.. Darby said that onions
should not be planted on ridges
like the carrot and beet.

CURE FOR BLACK LEG IN Car
TLE.-A subscriber gives the fol.
loving as a sure cure for black
leg now affecting cattle in that
section: - wash thoroughly
the diseased leg in strong soap
suds; rub till dry; then scrape
the knots with a dull knife; then
take one ounce OF vitriol and dis
solve in strong vinegar; after
which, battle the leg"

PUMPKIN PIE.-Stew the pump
kin as long as possible, until the
juice is all dried up; strain
through cullender, and add milk
and cream to proper consistency /;
sweeten with half sugar and half
molasses add a little ginger /;
eggs are useless, -four makes them
pasty, and stewing them and
straining the juice and throwing
il away takes off all the sweetest

DISSOLUTION OF CopARrNERsHp.-The oil

DISSOLUTION OF CoPARTNERsHIp.-The old
nane Of the firm of Lowell & Senter has
ceased TO est, though the business in their
Two stores g 3 on as before. The fire of 1866
compelled separation of the stock and loca-
ton I. the two branches of business they car
ried on. Ire jewelry and silver ware business
was put under Mr.. Lowells especial charge at
III congress street, and the nautical part at
'Eeir Old stand, on being rebuilt after the fire,
oh xchange street, under tho charge O. Mr..
oehter, who had made that part speciality.
Inc difficulty of securing such location as
would be suitable to again unite the two de-
partments was such, that a separation was
considered the better plan. We are glad to
learn that the respective branches of their bust
ness VIII be continued as before, with no diff
ference to their numerous customers, except
the name Lowell & Senter now gives place to
A. Lowell and w. Senter.
This honored firm dates from 1896 and with
the exception of the brothers G. & G. Marx,
whom we noticed lately was the oldest firm
N this city. Messrs. Lowell s. Senter were the
first to provide themselves with suitable tran
sit instruments and an astronomical clock for
the important business OF rating chrOnometers.
Before 1e' Mr.. Lemuel Moody at the Obser-
vatory did all that was done in the way of
rating chron ometers, and obtained the time
for rating by sextant and artificial horizon,
and by meridian mark, in the application of
which lie showed considerable ingenuity. To
the chronometer business they gradually added
the chart trade, after its ;linquishment by
Mr.. Stanhen Patfan and tho frada in nautical
instruments when given up by ether dealers.
Their trade in watches and jewelry, silver and
fancy goods, always kept pace with the needs
of the community, and met want which had
Heretofore been supplied by Boston. The
foundation of their business was their mechan-
ical quail ications, in which in their respective
branches they have always held commenda-
bic DositiOn.

To the Editor Of the Press:
have just read with much surprise the card
Of Mayor Kingsbury and others in your paper
Of today relative TO the Cardiff Giant What
have been the representations of the p,oprie-
tors in regard to IL, am not informed But
from the published certificate infer that it
has Teen presented to the vision of the people
OF Portland as "a wonderful mystery" In
what respect It is such is not stated. Is it in
the design or in the material, or in the m,oGus
opcranGi whereby The aspect Of age was given
to it? Or is it in the fact that the whole story
Of the manufacture is regarded as the humbug,
and not the statue itself? The statement of
Norman as Published in the Chicago Tribune,
and in the Histoi ical Magazine of February,
giving particular account of the whole enter
prise, supposed was accepted as true. have
seen no contradiction of it in any quarter. The
history as there given appears to be a natural
one. Still, though endeavor to acquaint my
self with matters of interest as they are pass
ing, I may have overlooked the re 1tation of it,
which may have appeared in the public prints.
Will you give the needful explanation of this
mystery? or what it is that is wonderful about
it? r.

some clue that will lead to an unraveling of
