Salt for Swine.

While all other domestic animals are regular
y supplied with salt, the hog is generally neg
ected. He requires, however to be as con
stanty supplied as the OK, the horse, or the
sheep, and suffers as much from priyation as
either of the above named animals do. HIS
food is almost invariably given to him in Il
fresh unseasoned state, and to this fact we may
doubtless attribute many of the violent and IA
tai diseases to which he is subject, and which
stagger all remedies, however promptly and
sklfully administered. If the food be not re-
guar seasoned, there should be a trough or box
IN every sty, in which salt may be deposited
regularly for the use of the animals. Season
ing the food of the hog us mentioned above let
it be understood that salt only is here alluded

The church owes responsibility to the
children who are members thereof by the
ordinance Of God, as well as to the chill
dren OF families not reached by the or
dlnary mnistrations of the gospel.
But to allow the Sabbath school to sup
plant home instruction and training, is
to run counter to the appointments Of
God, according to which He has promis-
ed to bestow His blessing.
Ordinances which the Lord has given
are not susceptible OF Improvement, even
in the advanced civilization of this nine
teenth century.
The old ways, fragrant with the bless
ings of God for centuries past, are the
channels through which His mercies con-
tlnue to flow. OBSERVER.

WAS IT 4 PREMONlrGoN OF DEATH? 1t
is stated of Doc Simmons, the engineer
who periShed ut the late tragedy on the
Hudson River Railroad, that in all his
conversations with railroad men he would
never advocate jumping from an engine
in time of danger. NO said he on
one occasion, Il would squat" He
meant he would squat behind the boiler
and trust to- going through whatever
might obstruct the track That was un-
doubtedly the course he took on that ia
tai Monday night. Nearly all ofhis COM
rades on the Hudson River Railroad think
he was foolishly brave. They argue that
after the patents were pulled and his en-
gine reversed and throttle opened, he had
performed all the duty in his power TO save
the train, and then he should have jump
ed to save himself. He leaves 4 little
child behind in Poughkeepsie. She was
his daughter by his first wife, and he Wis
tied her every Sabbath regularly. Upon
the Sabbath previous to the accident he
called to see her, and when they parted.
as was his custom, he kissed her fondly
and bade her goodbye having gone II
little ways he returned, and again and
again badc her by by. Could he have
had premonition that that was the last
time he would see her? All the locomotives
on the road are draped in mourning out
of respect for his memory.

Butter and Cheese Product of Maine.

In 1850 Maine produced S,243,S ,Sl1
pounds Of butter and 2, 2,434, 454 pounds of
cheese, and in 1860 was second in rank of
the New England States, being only exceed
ed by Vermont which produced Is 5,OOO,-
$50 pounds, while of cheese it yielded less
than either. In 1860 Penobscot county
returned the greatest amount of butter of
any one county, viz: 1,23l $50 pounds;
kennebec standing second with l, ,229,72
pounds. York third with LOG, $50 pounds,
and Cumberland fourth with 1862 ,512
pounds Oxford county produced the
most cheese, 1928, pounds Androscog-
GIN next, 250, 1903; kennebec third, 223,-
654, and Somerset fourth, PA, 43S pounds.
Yet notwithstanding this, Maine does not
produce the butter and cheese which sho
consumes. Hence efforts are making in
all parts of the State to organize butter
and cheese factories. Our readers will
recall the directions which we have
previously given for the construction and
management of these factories. Lewis
