PREVENTING SOws FROM DEvoURING
THEIR YoUNG.-lt is we'll known that
sows not unfrequently devour their
own young; or if prevented from this,
will not let down their milk, so that
the young pigs necessarily die for want
of nourishment When this state of
things is not caused by diseased con-
dition of the uterus, it is said that the
sow can be brought to terms by pouring
mixture of ten to twenty grains OF
spirits of camphor, with one to three of
tinctuue of opium, into the ear. The
sow will Immediately lie down on the
side of the ear to which the appli.
cation was made, and remain quiet for
several hours in this position without
interfering with her pigs; and on recov.
cry from the stupor will have lost hel
irritability in regard to them. The ex.
perimeut has been tried in Germany
hundreds of times, according to one Of
the agricultural journals, without any
injurious effects. It is also said that the
eating of pigs by the parent sow can b
readily prevented by rubbing them al
over with brandy, and making the SAM
application about the nose of the SOY
herself.-From Monthly Report of Dept
Of Agriculture for Jane 1872.

SALTING HAY.-We do not recon-
mend it, or at least only in moderate
quantities in extreme cases. When our
own food is too highly sailed we reject
it, or, if very hungry, eat it with wry
faces and disgust.
All stock probably require a certain
amount of salt, and if left to take it as
they please it would be not much in
amount, and in quite small quantity
at any one time.
If hay is sailed as freely as many
farmers apply it, the stock consuming
the hay must take three or four times
as much salt as they would if they could
exercise their own choice about it.
This course compels cattle to eat what
they dislike through several months of
the year, and it seems to US must tend
to prevent proper thrift, and also to
induce disease in one form or another
Indeed, it is stated that whole herds are
attacked with the disease called ''scours'
in consequence of feeding continually
upon hay too highly sailed.
The haying season with most farmer:
is a driving one, so that every expedi
ent that promises to lessen the labor ant
get the crop into the barn tempts u
strongly to adopt it.
Under this idea, there is little doub
but hundreds of tons of hay are got il
not sufficiently cured. "a little sal
will save it, it is said good deal i
applied to it, the cattle are forced t
live upon it, and pernicious consequence
are sometimes, at least, the result.
1t is cheaper and in every way bette
to cure the hay we'll in the first place
1t saves the cost of salt, secures bette
fodder, and does not incur the ris
of begetting sickness and disease in tn
stock which is to be fed with it. Be
ter pay the money for hay caps than ft
salt for the hay.

SANDS OF GOLD.

Success rides on every hour; grapple
it and you may win, but without Crap
pie, it will never go with you.
Life is divided into three terms that
which was, which is, and which will be.
Let us learn from past to profit by the
present, and from the present to live
better for the future.
Men who talk degradingly of women
display their own degradation.
Grief murmurs anger roars; impa-
thence frets; but happiness, like calm
river, flows on the quiet sunlight, with
out ripple or fall to mark the rush
ing on of time toward eternity.
A few minutes devotion at night will
not clear the conscience of a foul trick
done during the day, nor will going to
church on Sunday atone for the wlllful
sins of week.
Nature is the only workman to whom
no material is worthless the only chem
list in whose laboratory there is no waste
products. and the only artist whose COM
positions are infinitely varied, and whose
fertility of invention is inexhaustible.
Sympathy is balm to the tortured
heart-it is a jewel beyond comparison
"a flower dropped from heaven.
The first human sin was improper in
diligence in eating, and it has been ont
of the chief sins ever since.
Tears hinder sorrow from becomin.
despair, and laughter is one of the priv
ileges of reason.
Fortune is as bright as glass; whel
she shines most she is often unexpected,
broken.
The best requisites of man are posses
sed by him who sedulously attends
pointedly asks, calmly speaks, and cool
ly answers.
Sense shines with double lustr
when it is set in humanity. A
able yet humble man is jewel worth

The secret of happiness is conceale
in appreciative content. If you cannc
have what you want be content wit
what you have.

KEEPING CREAM.-Nexti in Importance
to having milk perfectly pure and sweet
and free from all animal odors, comes
the matter of keeping the cream after it
is taken off the milk. In the first place
the less milk there is with the cream at
the time it is set in the cream jar, the
better A great deal of carelessness is
shown in this matter, for be it known
that milk makes cheese, while the cream
only makes butter and the more milk
there is in the cream at churning time,
the more cheesy- favored will be the but
ter and therefore the more likely to
spoil afterwards unless excessively salt
ed. Really pure, good butter requires
but little salt, while butter as ordinari-
ly made will soon spoil unless we'll salt
ed, or kept covered in brine.
Secondly, the cream jar must be of
the very best quality of stone ware ;
thick glass would be still better; and
it must have cover that will exclude
all dust and insects.
Thirdly, the cream jar should be kept
in place where no noxious odors or
gases can be absorbed when the jar is
opened to add more cream, and also
where the temperature can be kept cool
and equable, say about 60 deg, and
lastly the cream is to be made into butter
as soon as it just begins to sour, and wher
the jar is emptied it is to be thoroughly
cleaned and scalded in boiling water be
fore being again used.-Boston Jourma
Of Chemistry.

A good story is told of an engineer
who runs a locomotive on the western
division of the Erie railway. The track
runs through an Indian reservation in
Cattaraugus county. One day squaw,
holding papoose in her arms, was
standing in the depot at Salamanca. AS
the engineer was drawing his train up
to the station, he observed her and cal

PoULTRY-KEEpINGF FOR WoMEN.-We
have urged the Importance of gentleness
in the treatment of cows, and it is quite
as important in the care of other domes-
tic animals. The Poultry World Incl
dentally refers to this point IN recon-
mending poultry keeping for women. 1t
says: There are many women, who,
especially within the last half-dozen
years, while the price of eggs has been
SO high. make money much faster by
tending poultry than by sewing. Tt is
an occupation especially suited to women
because it involves patience and consist
ent attention to details rather than
strength. Then. again, the hardest
thing for many men to learn, in hand
ling either poultry or bees. is gentleness.
How many times we have seen boys, and
men with no more sense than boys, jerk
hens roughly from their nests, enter the
poultry house abruptly and brighten the
occupants till they rush in a futtering
mass into the farthest corner, and keep
the poultry community in a constant
agitation and distress. But all domes-
tic animals appreciate the manner of
women attendants when they are fortu-
nate enough to be cared for by them.
Now that there are women gardeners
and florists who by their industry and
business qualities have risen to eminence
in those callings, and while one Of the
most successful if not the most success
full bee-keepers in the whole country is
a woman, we hope to see others give
poultry more attention than it has hith-
erto received. Aside from profit, the
keeping of fine poultry for fancy is
an elegant pastime very popular with
English ladies, and we see no reason why
the fashion should not be adopted here. >

ICED DRINKs.-A very great number
of men believe implicitly in the cooling
powers of iced drinks AS to these it
may be said hesitatingly, that any drink
containing alcohol is heating The bits
of ice that beguilc the thoughtless search
er after GOODNESS into mistaken intima-
cy withcobblers and julips cannot coun-
teract the fresh fuel in the shape of al
cohol, with which the drinker increases
his inward temperature. The German
beers, however, contain so little alcohol
that its presence is hardly felt, and
therefore, are nearly as useful in reduc-
ing the heat of the system. as water of
the same temperature would be.
Ice water when drank in any quaint
ty when the body is overheated, is dan
gerous, because it repels the blood from
the stomach, and sends it in part to the
head. The system could be much more
rapidly and safely cooled by throwing
water on the feet at intervals of two OF
three minutes. The GOODNESS of the wa
ter would cool the body. while the reac
ton would send the blood rushing to tn,
feet, and thus relieve the brain from vita
organs. This plan, however, is scarcel,
practicable for men wEo work outside o
their own homes These will, therefore
be compelled to adhere to cold drinks
and in using them they should remembe
that ice-water slowly supplied is ia
more refreshing than a full goblet dranl
at once.-N. Y. Times.
