chased, is queer little body, in the
eyes of Occidentals. Fatted up for the
occasion with rice and sweetmeats, be-
smeared with cosmetics, with collyrium
in her almond.shaped eyes to render
them soft and languishing, with hair
dyed either coal black or reddish
brown, eyebrows plastered and painted,
cheeks ditto, hands, feet and finger
nails of the color of mahogany from
the use of henna, with no more shape
or figure than bolster, her person GOV

void of certain native talent, con.
verses in fowery style of roses and

wisest Oriental graybeard notwith

by telling his congregation how he had
once been lost in the prairies of lllj-

weary, and almost hopeless. At last he
saw a light, and made his way slowly
toward it, shouting for help. "Just es

the Bishop, land was about sinking
down in despair. the door of the cabin
opened before me, and the long looked

Foxes as Shoep Herders.

The Stockton (Cal.) Republican
vouchcs for the following story:
"Peoplc often wonder at the instinct
displayed by wcll-trained shepherd
dogs, but what will they say when
VIC tell them of band of sheep
guarded by foxes alone. The story
seems improbable, but of it's truth
we have the most undoubtcd proof.
On Whisky hill, four miles from Mil
ton, may be seen, almost any day a
large flock of sheep herdcd by fox
es. These guardians of the little
lambs are three in number-one
gray fox and the other two Of the
species known as the red fox. In
point of intelligence these novel
shepherds are said to greatly sur
pass the best trained shepherd dogs.
They perform their work well, and
from morning till night, are ever on
the alert. The gray one seems to
control and in great measure direct
the actions of the other two. A
gentleman informs us that he yes
terday saw the gray fox pursue and
attack a hog which had seized n
lamb and was making off with it.
The contest was short and sharp,
resulting in the hog dropping the
lamb and beating a hasty retreat
The fox picked up the apparently
uniniured lamb and carried it back
to the flock.

Hog TrOughs.

Hog troughs are SO often the
scene of terrific quarrels at feeding
time that any device to secure jus
ticc for the weak, and prevent ag-
gression on the part Of the strong,
will be welcomed alike by pigs and
farmers. The Agriculturist sug-
gests that cross-bars be let into the
edges Of the trough and fasten-
ed with nails. The animals will
then be prevented from rushing at
one another while feeding, and the
necessity of raising their heads in
order to make an attack will soon
teach them that the satisfaction
derived from every such attack is
more than balanced by direct loss
Of time which might have been de-
voted to eating. Perhaps genera

cross-barred will develop into q

WHETHER hogs require sulphur
as an essential to their health, or
whether it is sought by them as a
condiment, may not be discovered.
But one thing is sure, they devour
it with greed whenever it is to be
found. 1t is for this purpose, pro-
ably, that they eat large quantities
of soft coal, which contains a large
amount Of sulphur. Perhaps this
is the most economical method of
supplying hogs with sulphur during
the winter, when they require a
good deal of carbon; but in the
summer it is better to feed it to
them in substances which contain
carbon, on account Of their produc-
ing less heat. Mustard is one of
the best things for this purpose,
and some of it should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs are
turned. If hogs are kept in small
yards, it is we'll to supply them
with the wild mustard that grows in
the fields or highways, or to cult
vatc some Of the better varieties for
them. They will eat its leaves, its
flowers, seeds, and stalks.
1t is the opinion of some excell-
ent breeders that the cause of a SOW
eating her offspring is costiveness,
and that proper food is the proven
tive and cure. The proper food in
winter is roots of some kind-sugar
beets carrots, parsneps, mangel
wurtzel, turnips or potatoes. Give
a little charcoal occasionally. with
sulphur once or twice aweek,i if you
have no roots. Don't feed heating
food, such as corn meal, it will make
her costive, feverish and cross, and
she will attack and destroy her pigs
when in the frenzy this induces.
