SeasOnable Hints About Swine.

It is said that hogs which have been
marketed during the recent packing seas
ON were of better quality than those of
any former season. Farmers are begin
ming to pay more attention to the feeding
and management of swine, but there is
still room for improvements in the selec-
ton of the most improved breeding ami
mails, the construction Of pens and the
preparation of food. Sufficient attention
is not paid to the wants of the animals in
summer they are in many places left to
depend entirely on clover or grass, get
no grain and have no defense from the
heat or sun, or from rain. When a hog
is roaming at large, he is his own physi-
clan, and selects such plants, etc, as are
remedies for his diseases. Swine are par
ticularly fond Of plants which contain
large proportion Of sulphur. Common
mustard, or few plants Of wild mustard,
will supply this. Radishes and the top
rind of the rutabaga contain sulphur and
may be used with good effect. The pc
culiar smell of horsc-radish arises from
the sulphurous volatile oil in it. When
hogs are shut up in yard or pen, they
should be supplied with preventives of
the diseases to which they are subject.
A mixture of earth and chalk should al
ways be within reach. Coal ashes or
powdered charcoal are essential. Salt
should be given daily in small quantities.
A few grains of nitre are beneficial in
warm weather Sulphur in some shape
should always be available. Perfect clean
illness should be observed, and regularity
in feeding, etc. Now that cheese factor
les are becoming so general, it is impor-
tant for farmers to know that whey and
barley meal make excellent fattening food
for swine.

Paper in the Household.

A WRITER in Hearth and Home
N. says: l do not propose to speak of the
many useful and wonderful articles that
are manufactured from paper, but merely
of the valuable use to which it can be put
by the housekeeper. Few hOusekeeper
have time to black their stoves every day,
or even every week Many wash them
in either clear water or dish water. This
keeps them clean, but they look very
brown. After stove has been once thor
oughly blacked, it can be kept looking
perfectly well for long time by rubbing
it with paper every morning,
fl occasionally find drop of gravy
or fruit-juice that the paper will not take
off, rub it with a wet cloth, but do not
put on water enough to take off the black
ing. I find that rubbing with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the outside of
my tea-kettle, coffee-pot, and tea pot
bright and clean, than the old way of
washing them in subs. .(The inside of
the coffe and tea-pots should be rinsed in
clear water, and never in dish water.)
Rubbing with dry paper is also the
best way of polishing knives, spoons and
tinware, after securing This saves wet
ing the knife handles. If little -four
be held on the paper in rubbing tinware
and spoons, they shine like new silver
For polishing windows, mirrors, lamp
chimneys, etc, / always use paper in
preference to dry cloth.
Preserves and pickles keep much bet
ter if brown paper, instead of a cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so
apt to mold if piece of writing paper cut
to fit the can, is laid directly on top of
the fruit
Paper is much better to put under car
pet than straw. 1t is warmer, thinner
and makes less noise when one walks
over it. A fair carpet can be made for a
room that is not in constant use by past
ing seyAal thickness of newspapers on
the floor, over them layer of wall-pape
and giving it a coat of varnish. In cold
weather have often placed newspapers
between my bed-quilt, knowing that two
thicknesses of paper are as warm as a
quilt. If it is necessary to step upon a
chair, always lay paper on it; this saves
rubbing the varnish off, Children easily
learn the habit of doing so.

Cure for Poison.

Is there, asks correspondent an easy
and simple cure for the poison of oak or
of ivy, when person is really poisoned
with it? What is the best cure for poison
of bees and spiders? l. A standing an
tidote for poison by dew, poison by oak,
ivy, &c, is to take handful of quick
lime, dissolve in water, let it stand in wa
ter half an hour, then paint the parts
with it. Three or four applications will
never fail to cure the most aggravated
cases. IL. Poison from bees, hornets,
spider bites, &C., is instantly arrested by
the application of equal parts of common
salt and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed
in on the place bitten or stuDg.

\ FLAG WITH a HIsroRN.-Thc Polaris,
which sailed recently for the regions Of
eternal ice aud snow, took with her flag
which has quite an cventful and peculiar
history. The flag is a common man~of-war
boats ensign, about six feet long by three
feet wide. II was taken out in Wilkes ex-
pedition in 1888, and was in possession of
Lieut.. Walker, whose vessel was attached
to the squadron. Lieut.. Walkers vessel
went further south than any of her COM
panions, When the Peacock was ship
wrecked at the mouth of Columbia river,
this flag was saved, and in 1850, when the
first Grnnel expedition was fitted out, the
colors were presented to Mr.. Henry Grin
nell. De Haven who had command of the
expedition, took the colors farther north
than any other American flag had ever be-
fore been exhibited. In 1915, when Dr.
Kane went out, Mr.. Grnnell loaned him
the flag, and it was taken still farther
north. Aner abandoning his vessel at
Mt Smiths Sound. DIR. Kane made a per-
ilous voyage in an open boat toward the
North Pole. The colors served for his pill
low when he slept in the boat, In 1857 the
flag was loaned to DR.. Hayes, who took ii
half degree nearer the North Pole than it
had ever been before. At the completion
of each expedition it was returned TO Mr.,
Grinncll, and now it has been placed in
care of Captain Hall, who takes it out with
him in the Polaris. Should Captain Hall,
successfully stride the mythical POLE as
predicted, he will be able to wave this en-
bem in triumph where none ever waved
before. We trust it will be once more safe
ly returned to its owner, Mr.. Grinnell,
who may at some future day send 1t to the
South Pole.

Il cHaPTBR or OUR CoLLRGss.

In looking over the latest catalogue Of
our American colleges we notice the fol-
lowing facts:
The Roman Catholics are ahead of all
other denominations, reporting SO colleges
with S,2G2 students, which does not look
much like being opposed to education in
this country. A literary gentleman, well
acquainted with the best Roman Catholic
col eges, says, 1.-THE Latin language is well
taught, but the Greek is not much attend
ed to-" Composition and Roman History
are extensively taught, whilst logic and
metapby sizes are hardly touched.
Next in order come the Methodists, with
their 4s colleges and s,7iG students. This
is a wonderful achievement for young
denomination, and one too that was for
merly looked upon as not very friendly to
education.
The Baptists, who are an energetic and
literal people, have 40 colleges and $3.50
students, and are doing much good.
The Presbyterian, those solid and steid
men of good sense, as their fathers before
them, are used to education, and number
3j colleges and 1862 STUDENTS.
The Congregationalists, who planted the
first college seed on this virgin soil, appear
with 10 colleges and 1910 students. They
are properly the college builders Of Amer
lea they sowed the seed from which we
are now reaping the rich fruit.
Next come tie Episcopalians a large and
wealthy Church, having but fourteen col
legcs and l,370 students. Perhaps a larger
portion of the children of Episcopalians
are educated in the higher departments Of
learning than any other denomination, but
as they gene rally reside in our larger cit
les their children are educated in the city
un ivcrsitics, which are more or less under
their control, although they do not 90 un
der their name, as in New York, Philadel-
pha, Boston, st. Louis and other places.
Then comes the Lutheran Church, with
only twelve colleges, and some 1900 stu
dents. Although we are the descendants
of the great educators of the world we
have in some way degcneratcd in this
country, but we are beginning to recover.
The German Reform have six, the Univer-
salists four, the Unitarians two, the Mora
vians two, the Swedenborgians one, and
the balance of the 34j are under no denom-
national control. These colleges have
from fifty to one thousand students, and
tern. They all use nearly the same stand
ard classical books, and their superiority
depends more upon the ability of their pro-
fessors than anything else.-Lutherdn Oh
SerUer.

AMERICANS ABRoAD.-People may say
what they like about Jonathan abroad, but
there Is no doubt of the fact that he carries
good deal Of money with him, and is
very substantial benefitto numerous wealth
requiring trans Atlantic people and ma
tions. A New York contemporary, in not
ing the departure for Europe of twenty-six
steamships with tirst-class passengers
within the past fortnight, makes one or
two little calculations of decidedly inter-
esting character. II estimates that during
the year between five and six hundred
steamers leave these shores with, on the
average, eighty iirst-class passengers to
each. SupposiDg that each passenger
spends three thousand dollars on his Euro
pcan excursion, and taking the hundreds
