The air, without which no creature could live, is
the of diseases of which millions die At this
season. especially, the atmosphere is full the germs
of many kinds of sickness. Every globule of the
mist and fog which cloud the earth and sky in spring
holds IN solution its portion of niasmatic poison

1t is this time, too, that Dyspepsia assumes its

habit usually suffer most. There is an influence in
the air which depresses the spirits as well as the
physical energies, and in order to restore their
elasticity, tonic treatment is absolutely necessary.

Points for Swine Raising.

The following is the substance of the
report of the Illinois State Swine
Breeders Association:
1. The lower the price of pork the
greater the need for growing those
breeds from which the product can be
most cheaply made. Depreciation in
prices should be met by greater effort
to improve the stock.
2. To avoid possible deterioration
It Is best to preserve the distinct breeds
pure.
3. Before narrowing, give sows such
food as will incite the secretion of milk.
After narrowing, feed lightly at first
increasing the quantity carefully up to
full supply. Teach the pigs to eat as
soon as possible.
4. After weaving, the pigs should
have the best care Milk, with oats
and corn ground together, is excellent
food in proper quantity. Plenty of ex-
ercise is indispensable to health.
5. Market st nine to fourteen months
old for profit
6. 1t was not thought best to en-,
courage the breeding of pure bred
animals for general pork-making; that
- - 40 NV HCSCs>t<AF W COuuuS IL 10
any one pure breed to insure success,
but that the mixing of pure breeds for
this purpose has in the main given very
satisfactory results.
Z. Ground or cooked food will, per
pound, make more pork than unground
or uncooked but it does not follow
that, under all circumstances, it is most
profitable to grind or cook it. This
will depend on the price of grain, the
expense of grinding and cooking and
the cost of feeding. Each farmer must
decide the question for himself and by
his own surroundings. It is better to
shell and soak corn than to feed it in
the ear.
s. Most diseases among animals are
attributable to want of judgement and
care in their management. All rem
idies for diseases which prevailed in
1871, failed. Kill the sick hogs and
ind out, if possible, why they became
so, and then apply the remedy to the
cause. The style of architecture, al
though to be regarded, is not the most
important feature of a piggery. A pen
well covered with coarse, wild hay, and
kept clean, where the pigs are regular
~ fed and watered, is all that is indis-
pensable to success.

Sowing Flower Seed.

The time IS now approaching for SOW
ing the seed of ANNALS and of other
plants, and it is important that the
work be properly done. We once en-
ployed novice to SOW seed, in the alb
sence of better gardener, and he re-
solved to do his work we'll He accord
ingly buried the seed so deep that few
ever came up, and the scotsman was
denounced for selling what was bad.
4 portion was left for time, and then
sowed in hurry, the man having time
only to give thin dash of earth over
them. These came up profusely, and
the reputation of the scotsman was
rescued. The rule which we have
adopted for beds IN open ground is to
cover all seed from three to five times
their shorter diameter-small seed re-
ceiving only a slight sprinkling, and
larger more copious sitting of the fine
mold. No seed should be sown when
he soil is not dry enough to be re-
duced to fine powder. The best
soil IS sandy loan, but larger proper
don of clay makes a good material if
Try enough to be made perfectly mel
low. The addition of sand and leaf
h1O1u Will ndh0 duJ sui Vi proper COu-
sistency. The best way to SOW seeds
is, in the first place in drills or circles;
then the weeds may be easily taken out.
IF sown broadcast, it will be more diff
cult to keep the bed clean. Provide a
quantity Of finely pulverized mold IN
basket or barrow, and cover them by
sprinkling it evenly over with the hand.
Avoid soaking the beds with water IN
til the plants are up. If the surface is
likely to become too dry after sowing,
which is often the case, put on thin
eauzy mulching. This may be pulver-
lied moss, thin canvas, or even news
paper. Every person who plants a flow
er garden knows the hardy plants which
usually come up soon, and may be sown
early, from the tender, which are often
more tardy in appearing, and should be
sown later Most seed catalogues de-
signate these separately.

Spring Novelties in Shoes.

The New York Shoe and Leather Re
porter thus speaks in reference to
spring novelties in shoes:
The latest news on fashions for shoes
seems to be not only desirable, but al
most necessity in these days, when
new styles are being brought out every
month, It is task of no little difficult
ty for dealers out of large cities to
keep themselves posted in novelties
which are constantly appearing, SO that
their orders may include not Only the
general STYLE, but also the many pretty
and ingenious devices that go to make
ladies' shoes "things of beauty for
ever The soles are being made broad,
firm and thick, and the heels compare
lively low and wide. An improvement
so much needed, once sanctioned by
the mandate of fashion, and we will
have no more French heel abomina-
lions, with the unavoidable weak, tot
tering gait, but a free, elastic step, as
beautiful and graceful as the former
was painful and awkward. There is
no item of dress, perhaps, that
is so much criticised as shoes ::
no item more important, and GER
tainly none where comfort has been
more sacrificed. The practical solution
of the problem, g can ease and beauty
be combined in shoes, has been ac-
complished in measure this spring.
The first innovation noticed is the
Scotch welt walking-boots for ladies,
with broad soles projecting about an
eighth of an inch beyond the uppers,
with low, broad heels; plain shoe,
with no attempt at amentation, but
decidedly sensible, and one which in
time no doubt will be adopted univer-
sally. A buttoned walking shoe Of
pebble goat, strong and supple, will
attract attention by it's style of finish.
The trimming is of pink kid, button
holes in scolloped edge stitched by
hand, heels finished with a row of
highly polished copper tacks, with small
heads, not larger than pins, invisible
as far as preserving the shape is con-
cerned, and greatly adding to the
beauty. It is noticeable fact that
son.
Somewhat after the style of the
"Newport tie - of last summer is a gar
den shoe, called the Metropolitan
tie " material French kid, lined entire
with kid, making the value of the shoe
inside and out the same, tied across the
instep with ribbon an inch wide, height
OF heel Il inches a plain, elegant shoe,
and one that will undoubtedly 'be the fa-
vorite. A croquet shoe comes next, of
black glove kid, lined entire with white
kid; rosette of black ribbon, with
buckle, relieves the severe plainness :;
material satin, with fancy bow of
same; facings of white satin
heels wooden covered with
satin; suitable for home, full dress, or
carriage shoe; retail price is SO. 1t
takes from one-half to fve-eighths of
yard of material to pair. A rival of
this shoe is one of heavy black silk,
with trimmings of heavy blue kid; a
dainty rosette of thread lace and silk,
entirely unique in design. Bronze
boots are no longer worn by people of
refinement and taste. They have had
their day, and they must give place to
black, which is FAR more genteei. Black
shoes are no longer stitched in white;
simplicity in style seems to be in favor.

Cows for the Dairy.
The American Rural Home saws

Inc American Rural Home says:
We believe a great mistake will be
made II dairymen should be led away
by the prevailing fashion to favor the
introduction of Jersey blood into their
herds. 1t would result in reducing the
size and feeding qualities, and enfeeb-
ling the constitution, without any cor
responding gain in the way of addi-
tlonal milking value. True, we might
have richer milk for butter-making,
but not for cheese. The milk of the
Ayrshire cow, though somewhat lack
ing in richness for butter making, is
full of caseine, and. therefore, valua
bic to the cheese maker. The finest
and best dairy COWS we ever saw were
obtained by a cross of Ayrshire on
hrst class native COWS, followed by a
cross of Short-horn, the result being
COWS having half Short-horn to quar-
ter each of Ayrshire and native. They
were splendid mixers, and always full
OF hesh on moderate feeding in winter.

THE Able LIszT, acknowledged by
the leading musicians of the world as the
Grand Master of Instrumentation on the Piano
Forte, has been so chary of his commentator
of pianos of any particular make, that the fol-
lowing testimonial written by him bears addi-
tional weight, aside from the high source from
which it emanates. This voluntary testimony,
from the distinguished Maestro, is a triumph
for America a triumph for Boston, and an en-
during triumph for Messrs. Hallet, Davis &
Co., whose patent orchestral, grand and
square pianos are all made with the same fidel-
ity as to recent Improvements, purity Of tone,
and superiority of workmanship

My Dear Director e: The reputation of the
American pianos was established everywhere
by the extraordinary sensation they created at
the Paris Exhibition of 1867 Since that time
several of the leadino piano manufacturers in
Europe have found it expedient to construct
pianos of the American kind. The distin-
gushing advantages of the latter-peculiar
richness OF tone and extreme solidity of con-
struciion-were evident to eye and ear in the
most admirable Instrument manufactured Inv
Hallet, Davis & Co., of Boston, which was
