KEEP HOGS OUT OF THE. WATER.

A correspondent of the Colonial
Farmer, whom the editor declares to
be . practical breeder, writes that to
handle hogs to the best advantage,
pasture is needed Of green grasses,
clover, blue grass and timothy, and
it Is best if there is no running water
or stock POI ondd q. in the field. Hogs: d.
better where there are no stock
ponds or branches to .wallew in. IL
place thereof have well-water pumped, !
for them. Have troHghs made, anu
nail strips across, eight inches apart:
to keep the hogs from lying down in.
the water. and Let these naoughs be
placed on floors, to keep them from
digging up yallowing holes. If feed
be given them, it should be soaked in
swill barrels for twelve hours-no
longer-before feeding, and should te
fed to them IS drink. =.

In making frosting for cakes or
puddings, a little lemon juice, tartaric
acid or cream of tartar is 4 very
pleasant addition to the taste, besides
making the ftosting much lighter.
In cooking oatmeal, hominy, wheat
en- grits, cracked wheat, or any of
those nice breakfast dishes, cook it in
a covered tin dish setia q kettle ! Of
boiling water. In this manner there
is no danger of scorching. Corn
starch pudding, seamoss, tarina and
all other articles mixed with milk can
be cooked in the same way.
1t roasting poultry, one thickness
Of writing or nice brown wrapping

Bleeding from the nose may be
stopped by putting bits of lint in the.

There is rarely, if ever, any need

TO THE PEOPLE.

Two miles of our railroad, on Bush
Prairie and ut Tenino. were graded on
the last two days by the spontaneous,
voluntary labor of our people. The
grade is now over half way to Tenino-
no gaps except 5000 feet in Tumwater
and seven miles of roadbed is ready
for the track. All has been done in 80
days. See the result of depending
solely upon ourselves, and going to
work!
We must increase our regular grading
force little, and enable them to reach
Rocky Prairie by the first of June.
The farmers are requested to turn out,
then, with their teams, for week.
Olympia and Tumwater will send out
SO men, and the grade will stretch across
the prairie at the rate of mile day.
But to accomplish this, we must have
81 900, twenty months more labor, and
supplies for our camp. A grand rail-
road meeting will be held at Columbia
Hall, next Wednesday evening, to pro-
vide these means. The country is in
vited to attend. Let every one, ladies
and gentlemen, come and do something.
Unless this call meets prompt and
hearty response, our force must be re-
duced, the work will drag, and this
most successful movement be checked.
None can afford to remain absent.
A little more effort, and in few
weeks the grading will be done, and
$50 900 of the estimated cost of our
road, worked out. And when the whole
county becomes as earnest and united
as those whose hard work on the field
days have accomplished so much, the
iron and cars will come as easily as the
grading. HAzARD STEVENS,
President O. r. r. Union.

RAILROAD MEET1Na.-A meeting of
citizens was held in Columbia Hall last
Saturday, at which speeches were made
by Gen. Stevens, Cows. Ferry and Sal
ONION, DR.. Steele, and others, and ar
rangements perfected for field-days this
week, which have resulted in such COM
mendable progress. Resolutions were
adopted calling upon every body in the
county to meet in a grand mass conven-
ton next Wednesday, to devise further
means of continuing the work. It is
hoped that the hall will be crowded to
its utmost capacity on that occasion.

SAD AccmENT.-We learn from the
Dispatch that on the 9TH inst, terrible
accident occurred at the Renton Coal
Mine, resulting in the death of Mr..
Andrew McKecknie, the Superintendent
of the mine, for several years Superin-
tendent of the Seattle Coal Mine, an
old and most estimable citizen. Mr..
McKecknie was engaged in mailing down
strip upon the railway in the main
tunnel, when loaded car in a side
chamber broke from its fastenings and
came down upon him, bearing him
against standing car and passing over
his body, crushing his skull and body
in such manner as to leave no posi-
bility of his recovery. He fingered in
an unconscious state for about twelve
hours before his death. The deceased
was native of Maine; came to Cali
fornia in 1849; afterwards returned to
Maine, married and removed to Mime
sofa; from Minnesota he removed to
California, and from California to Seat
tie in 1869.

MARROW GAuoE.-At a recent meeting
of the Edinburg and Leith Engineers
Society, paper was read by an emf
nent engineer on railroad gauges, which
commends the narrow gauge for other
reasons than the less cost of construction
and operation. It was held that the
loss of power arising from the slip on
the rails in going a narrow gauge curve
was much less than in the case of
the broad gauge and much less wear
on the rails. 1t recommended the Far
lie engine for this description of roads.
The peculiarly of this machine is, that
being like two ordinary engines with
their tenders removed, and joined with
their fire-boxes together, and their fun
nels at either end, it can run equally
we'll either way, and so does away with
the need for turntables.
