NAL The wild beast is his own physi-
clan, nature having endowed HIM with
the power and means to prescribe his
own physie, for whatever ailments the
particular condition of his body devel-
ops This instinct, or all-wise unseen
power, the animal is in great measure
deprived of in state of domesticity /,
he is solely and entirely the creature of
man, subject to mans treatment, care
and provision His whole physical
nature has undergone change his APP
petites are not the same his food is
different, he is mated with different va
rieties of his species, and compared with
original type, there is wonderful meta
morphosis in his conformation. These
facts viii at once destroy the theory of
those who incline to the negative side
of the question just referred to.
While all other domestic animals are
regularly supplied with salt, the hog is
generally neglected. He requires,
however, to be constantly supplied with
it as are horses. cattle or sheep, and
suffers as much when deprived of it as
either of these. His food is almost in,
variably given to him in fresh state,
and to this fact We may attribute the
presence of trichina anu other diseases
peculiar to swine, which seem to battle
the most skillful treatment, II salt be
not mixed with his food. it should be
constantly kept in a separate trough in
his sty, where access may be had to 1T
whenever the animal is inclined to lick
or eat it. II farmers and breeders
will try the latter plan it will afford
them a good opportunity of ascertain
ing whether or not the hog requires
salt and also whether it benefits his
condition while living, and improves
the quality of his flesh when prepared
for the table.
There is another simple method of
testing the value of salt when given to
swine. Let the farmer breed from q
boar and SOW fed with salt, and rear a
litter TO their full growth fattened III
the ordinary way, and try the same ex-
pertinent at the same time with another
set, never fed with salt, and let him
note well the result. The former will
be healthier, harder, less subject to
disease, fatter, better, and the meat
will be sveeter and much more whole
some II these considerations are
worth anything to the farmer and
breeder, they are worth at least an I'M
partial investigation.

How the Potato Bag Works.

The following facts are condensed
from an article In the American Natual-
list, by Mr.. Sanborn Tenny, describing
visit to James Hudson, OF Niles,
Michigan:
In April, 1870, Mr. Hudson, in pIow-
ing his fields, plowed up the full grown
beetles, and they walked about, being
very lively, He planted early
rose potatoes about the 18th of April,
and as soon as they were fairly up the
beetles commenced their attacks upon
them. He began to kill them by
squeezing them between two paddles,
going over the ground daily, but APP
parently without checking them. He
then mixed Paris green with ashes and
sprinkled the mixture on dozen rows,
the vines at this time being a foot high,
and from these rows he secured 4 talr
crop OF potatoes. Where the mixture
was not sprlnkled the bugs ate all the
leaves, and in many cases they ATE the
stalks TO a considerable extent, They
now began on a new field hitherto I'M
touched, appearing in such numbers as
almost literally to cover both the
leaves and the stalks.
They were 80 numerous that in less
than an hour one man gathered about
20 quarts of them. The beetles swept
right through this field, going a. the
rate OF about ten or twenty rods IL a
week. Their yeIlowish eggs were al
ways abundant on the inside OF the po-
t,to leaves; but they also laid their
eggs on wood, spires Of grass, and even
on dry sticks, While the havoc above
described was going on no other species
of insects attacked The potatoes. At
this time the Colorado bugs We're abun.
dant about the farm buildings, and
even entered the house. Toads are
their natural enemies, eagerly devour-
ing them. But on this farm the hens
were never seen eating them. On the
farm above mentioned the bugs disap'
peared suddenly in the early part OF
September. 1t may be added that they
seem to prefer the Chenango potatoes
to the early rose. and that they would
hardly touch the Early Goodrich,
though growing side by side with the
Chenango, which they eagerly devour'
ed. would also add that the insects
do not contine themselves to the vines,
but enter the hills and attack the pota
toes themselves.

The Petriaed Forest Mt Cali,t Oga.

The Alta California has this to say
about the new object of interest to
tourists in California:
Some three hundred visitors have
recently visited this forest, which is
connected with a good road from Calls
toga. five miles distant. The remains
are scattered over a space of at least
two miles, but the most interesting
portion TO visit is comprised within a
space OF fifty acres. One petrltied
tree stump found within the last few
days stands upright above the ground,
and is about fifteen feet high. A new
road will be built to this tree. Nearly
all of the specimens show quartz inter
mingled with the wood of the trees,
and Mr. Edwards has theory, which
we can not indorse, that it is only pet
rifed rosin. 1t is more probable that
the remains of the trees have fallen
and become imbedded with quartz
rock. In fuckers jewelry store some
beautiful specimens of intermingled
quartz and petrified wood are to be
seen Similar specimens have already
been polished and made up for rings
and sleeve buttens. The petriications
occur always in black soil, which glist-
ems in the sun, and has apparently salt
petre IN 1t never in the red soil of the
neighborhood Whenever the petritied
wood is exposed to the air it hardens
when dug ont it is frequently soft.

damaging setting Hens,

A writer in the Prairie Farmer never
sets hen unless another is soon to set,
also, by which arrangement he can give
the chickens first Matched to hen No. 2.
As they hatch he removes them to box
fixed for the purpose, and he gives each
l.en from twenty to forty chicks, and
finds they grow as well as broods of less
number. To break hen of her wish
to set he confines her in a coop three
days. Hens will not eat eggs if they
have access to lime. He is of the opin-
ion that poultry does not pay when one
builds expensive houses for them or
fancy chicken coops, and spends his
time and talent in the business It will
do for women to raise poultry.

Moth Worm i'm Bee Comb.

J. r. Hubbard writes to the Amer
lean Bee Journal IS follows:
A correspondent in late number Of
the Journal, said that one OF his bees,
after gnawing off the caps Of the cells,
was unable to come out and he wants
to know what was the matter. One
word will tell worms.
| noticed some of mine in the same
fix. soon after reading that article, and
on pulling them out found, as ] ex-
pected a small worm hole near the bot
tom of the cell I had before noticed
that those bees which could not get
ont we're in lines, and after pulling out
q few / found q small worm. They
(the worms) work their passage from
one cell TO another, perhaps tWo-thlrds
of the way toward the center OF the
comb, eating wax, bees wings and legs,
and leaving q fine web behind, which
holds the bees in the comb.
I suppose they were not the Larvae OF
the ordinary bee moth, as | have gen.
orally found these near the surface OF
the comb. But 7 found some combs
containing these small worms IL q glass
Jar, ana in due time had from fifteen to
eighteen fine large moths OF the ordin-
airy kind. My conclusion Is that these
worms, while small, work near the sep
tum of the comb, and when grown
about half On inch long they work next
TO the surface.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Watering Teams Often.

Horses and oxen at work need wa
ter often. The plowman carries his
Jug of water, or leaves his team to
rest while he goes to the house for a
drink. But the team works harder
than the driver, and probably needs
drink as often; yet many teams are
taken out early in the field, where
there is no water, except in the drivers
jug, and worked FIVE or six hours be-
fore they can get drop. Is it any
wonder that they are injured by drink
ing too much when they are led to the
spring at noon aud evening.

The Drowned at Sea.

Never bronze or slab of stone
May their sepulchre denote;
Der their burial place, alone,
Shall the shifting sea-weed float.
Not for them the quiet grave
Underneath the daisied turf
They rest below the restless wave,
They sleep below the sleepless surf.
Der them shall the waters wrestle
With the whirlwind from the land,
But their bones will only nestle
Closer down into the sand:
And forever wind and surge,
Loud or low, shall be their dirge;
And each idle wave that breaks
Heneeforth upon any shore,
Snail be dearer for their sakes,
shall be holy evermore.
