of business shall be Desmoines, Iowa.
that the capital stock shall be $4,000, 900

Iowa, and the board of directors to have
the power to lease the road for term OF
years. This agreement was adopted by
the meeting, and will be presented to all
the first mortgage bondhOlders for APP

ENGLISH WAY OF TAKING CARE
OF HoRsEs.-Some English grooms,
in America, are teaching Yankees the
care of horses. I asked one Of these
grooms, who has spent twenty years
in the stables of royalty, what he had
to say about our American way Of
taking care of a horse.
"Why, sir" said he, ':you don't
take good care Of your horses; you
think you do but you don't"
"Whyw asked.
Because, when horse comes in
al wet with perspiration, you let him
stand in the stable and dry with all
the dirt on. In England We take the
horse as he comes from a drive and
sprinkle blood-warm water all over
him. from his head to his feet. Then
We scrape him down and blanket him,
rubbing his legs and face dry. Thus
in an hour he is clean and dry and
ready to take good feed, while with
your way he will stand and swelter for
hours, and finally dry, sticky and dirty.
Our horses never founder and never
take cold, Wenever use a cu,ry-comb;
you scratch your horses too hard
The only care necessary is to have
the water not too cold; then bathe
them instantly, while you are rubbing
their legs" ."-Commsrcial Aduertiser.

CLEANSE THE MANeERs.-T h e
hangers of horses, COWS and oxen,
when supplied with cut, fodder and
meal, frequently becomes ofeusively
sour, in consequence of the decompo-
sition Of the wet meal that adheres
to the corners of the feed boxes.
f. is is apt to be the case especially
when animals do not lick the corners
entirely clean: If a small portion Of
feed is allowed to remain in the man
ger only portion Of warm day it
will become sour, and the offensive
eEHuvia will taint the entire manger,
so that an animal will often refuse to
eat his accustomed allowance, unless
compelled by keen hunger. The true
way to manage hangers is to scrape
the corners clean at least twice per
day, removing every particle Of rejected
food. Then if the manger does not
smell like sugar bowl, let the corners
be washed out with hot water, wiped
clean, and handful of caustic Stacked
lime be sprinkled in the maoger. If
managers are kept clean they will sell
dom become Extensively sour. If an
animal leaves portion of his feed, d
new mess should never be given on
the rejected feed.-N. Y. Herald.

FRUITS WHICH EVERYBODY GAN

FRUITS WHICH EVERYBODY GAN
GRow.-We might, perhaps, place
under this head most Of the species
adapted to our climate, but some
Of them require more attention than
others, and more than the afore-
ssid ''eyerybody'' may be willing
to give them. Nothing worth hay
ing can, as a rule, be had without
some labor or expense, and no good
fruit bearing trees or plants will
take care Of themselves altogether;
but We will name q few things
which require so little skill, atten-
ton and labor, that any one who
deserves to have anything better
than ''hog plums" and haw berries
on his table, will be willing to give
them the small amount of care they
demand. 1. Strawberries, select
ing such varieties as Wilson's Al
bany, Longworth's Prolific, and
humans Prolific, can be had in
abundance for home use with a tri-
fling outlay oflabor. 2. The black
cap raspberries, planted alongside
the garden fence, where they will
be shaded during part Of the day,
| do well with little attention. 8.
Figs, such as Brown Turkey,
Brunswick, Black lschia and &C.
lestial (Sugar 6g) require little but
the planting, and never fail. 4.
Scuppernong grapes, and other va
| rieties of the Southern muscadine
species, do not tax our care much,
and repay US largely. 5. The
! wild Goose Plum, and other kinds
Of the Chickasaw type, ask but lit
tie and give much. 6. Peaches will
flourish in the fence corners and
! J fields, but will repay some at
.ention. 7. Where the soil suits
them, and the borer is not too de-
structive, apples Of native varieties,
are grown with only a moderate
degree Of attention. Those who
will not take the trouble to have
these fruits deserve nothing better
than ''hog and hominy,'' year in
and year out.-Rural Carolinian

ToCLEAN MARBLE.-Marble of any
kind, alabaster. any hard stone or glass,
may be repolished by rubbing it With
linen cloth dressed with oxide of tin
(sold under the name Of putty pow
der For this purpose couple or
more folds of linen should be fastened
tight over a piece Of wood, fat or
otherwise, according to the form of
the stone. To rspolish amantle-piece,
it should first be perfectly cleansed.-
This is best done by making a paste
of lime, soda and water, wetting well
the marble, and applying the paste.
Then let it remain for q day or so,
keeping it moist during the interval.
When this paste has been removed,
the polishing may begin. Chips in
the marble should be rubbed out first
with emery and water. At every
stage of polishing, the linen and putty
powder must be kept constantly wet.
Glass, such as jewelers. show counter
cases, which become scratched, may
be polished in the same way. :,

A PLEA FOR HYGIENE LIVING.
Who ever saw a true hygienist
lying drunk in the gutter, or reel
ing home to abuse his family, or
with aquid Of tobacco in his mouth,
squirting his nasty spittle in our
public halls and churches or along
the sidewalks where decent people
travel, or with his old pipe or cigar,
poisoning the pure cir Of heaven,
the very breath Of life, and befoul-
ing his system with its impurities ?
Yet ignoramuses, and some good
people laugh at us hygienists be-
cause We propose to correct these
enormities and abuses.
Ben Franklin did not disdain
to eat "saw-dust'' pudding, as you
call it, or to call himself a vegeta-
rian and he was quite as profound
as those who laugh at hygienists.
But We must forgive them, they
''know not what they do;"-don't t
know that hygiene is the art Of
preserving health, and that our
health depends largely upon our
own actions, our obedience or dis
obedience Of the laws of Hygeia,
which embrace good, welcome food,
pure air and water, exercise, sun
shine, and cleanliness, which. are
akin to godliness.

PoTAToEs.-Potatoes of large size
are said to be raised by monk in
France, by cutting two, side shoots from
each stalk when it is FIVE or seven
inches high, and setting them in good,
rich, mellow garden soil. In afeE days,
they send out roots, and form tubers
about as early andin as large quantities
as the original stalk, while the latter
does not seem to be Injured by the
moderate pruning. The experiment
also seems to have been successful
~ tried elsewhere previously. The
plan may be found especially servica-
BILE in the propagation Of new and rare
varieties for seed.

EXPERIMENT IN FEEDING
HOGS.

John W. Zigler, Of Laporte coun-
ty Ind, reports the results Of two
experiments made by him in feeu-
ing hogs, as follows: I,hirty-tHo
hogs were fed twenty-six days in
an eight-acre lot. They consumed
1913 bushels of unshelled old corn,
70 pounds to the bushe,,. Their
aggregate weight at the beginning
Of the periodwas $40 lbs.; at the
end, $3.50, lbs.; gain, 1880 lbs.
When he commenced feeding the
hogs were worth 81 cents per
pound, amounting to S224.7o; af-
ter feeding, s.s per pound, amount
ing to s332.50; gain, S1O7.8O.
TIE 1913 bushels Of corn, at IS cents
per bushel, cost S57.55; net profit
on the corn, s4O.25. Every 4 3-5
pounds of shelled corr made one
pound of pork. Z A live hog weigh
ing S28 pounds lost by bleeding
I 1bs., by both bleeding and dress
ing, So lbs., Or a little over one-sev-
enth Of the live weight. Mr.. Igler
also fed to fifteen hogs, on the floor
in pen, 100 bushels, by weight, Of
old shelled corn, in forty-two days.
The aggregate weight of the hogs
at the beginning ofthe experiment
was 2,49O lbs; at the end, 1890
lbs.;a a gain Of ITO lbs; or 2 45
lbs. per day on hogs averaging, at
the commencement, 16e lbs. In
this experiment three pounds Of
corn made one ofpork, in the other,
43-4 lbs. In the latter case the
pork was scid for 104 cents per
pound. Mr.. E. Hesey, our CORES
pondent fcr Plymouth county, Mas
sachusetts, made the following expe-
riment with a special view to ascer-
tain at what size the gain was
greatest in proportion to the
amount Of feed. Two pigs, six
weeks old, weighing 80 pounds
each, cost S6; they consumed 333
bushels Of Indian meal, Is cents
per bushel, S25.13; 6 bushels fine
feed, 80 cents per bushel, $3.50;
II bushels of potatoes, 25 cents
per bushel, 50; cost Of dressing,
50; total, 1888. They were
slaughtered when eight months old,
and made 494 lbs. of pork, which
was sold at 8 cents per pound,
amounting to S59.52; profit, 59c.
The food was measured and the
pigs weighed daily, until they
reached 100 lbs. each, after that
they we're weighed once in week.
It was found that the increase of
pork cost the least per pound,
namely, cents, live weight, when
the pigs weighed about 100 pounds
each, and the most when they were
at their greatest weight
