is no other animal that converts its food
SO soon into food for human beings. Sec
ondly, pig is an omnivorous animal;
that is, it can feed and thrive on both
animal and vegetable substances; it is
not very particular, and consumes with
some relish almost any offal from the la
BILE, from the dairy, and from the kitchen
and garden, which can be scarcely
utilized in any other way, with
which it eats the grain of the field, the
grass and clover of the pasture, and the
acorns of the forest. Therefore almost
any family can raise and fatten one or
two pigs with scarcely any expense what
ever. Thirdly, pigs are accused of being
dirty and filthy and fond of wallowing in
the mud This is calumny, for scarcely
any of our domestic animals keeps it's
stall and it's bedding as clean as a pig,
provided the latter is not compelled by
the carelessness or by the ignorance of
its owner to sleep and to deposit its ex-
crements at the same place, but is pro-
vided with good, dry, warm, well-lit-
tered and well-ventilated pen to sleep in,
and with yard which it can walk into
at it's own pleasure. Further, there is no
animal that is more fond of being brushed,
rubbed, washed and petted, or that en-
joys a good bath in clean, fresh and cool
water as much as does pig, especially
in the summer, when daily bath is so
essential to the health of the animal. A
pig takes bath in amud-pool only when
no other opportunity is left-Cor. CHI

Corn Raw and Cooked.

The time will soon come when farmers
will want to begin to fatten stock for the
fall and winter market. The object will
be to turn part of the crops of the sea-
son at least in this way. The question
that comes up for consideration is, How
shall this be done to the greatest profit?
Take, for instance, some facts that have
been given, setting forth experiments that
have been made to show that the ques-
ton is not only shall we turn our corn
into pork, but how shall the corn be fed
to the greatest advantage? Shall it be
fed whole, or ground, or cooked? Elk
periments have been made when every
thing has been equalized to show the
comparative value of corn fed raw and
cooked, whole and ground; and in one
case the result was that five bushels of
whole corn made fOrty-seven and three
fourths pounds of pork five bushels
ground Qess tolD, wet with water, made
fifty eight and one-half pounds; and the
same amount of meal boiled and fed cold
made eighty-three and one-half pounds.
In the first case the amount of the corn
fed equaled the value of the pork when
it was fattened, and in the last the pork
equaled the amount of corn fed and gave
a profit of one dollar bushel In addi-
ton. Any one can see that the profit
here came from the boiling of the meal;
and that if, feeding the whole raw, grain
would give profit as it usually does,
this would be greatly increased by cook
ing.
In another experiment ten bushels of
corn on the cob fed on the ground made
twenty-nine and one-half pounds of pork
The same amount shelled and coarsely
ground and cooked made sixty-four
pounds. These facts are given officially
and can be relied on, and the results here
stated should be considered and remem-
bered, and their instruction applied
Another experiment was tried under diff
ferent circumstances from those men
toned above, but a like result was
secured. The raw corn fed whole gave a
return of $108 per bushel the cooked
meal that of 81 So per bushel.
The results, like the above, of expert
ments might be given to almost any ex-
tent, but enough has been said to show
the direction in which profit lies for the
farmer if he will take it.
The machinery for cooking for stock is
simple, and the work of doing it is light
A little preparation in advance made at
odd spells will make it convenient to
cook the daily rations for stock as it is
needed. We have done this ourselves
with no particular hindrance to our other
work, and have been abundantly satisfied
with results. If one would feed his
grain to the greatest profit, no doubt it
should be done in this way.--Oha0 Farmer.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE recent poisoning in New York,
caused by the reckless use ofvermin sex
terminatOr," deserves the earnest atten-
tion of housekeepers. Three persons
died and several others were seriously
Frustrated from the effects of this pre-
posterous blunder. The developments
at the inquest give startling exhibition
of the ignorance and carelessness of
servants, and show how liable families
are to fatal accident in the kitchen when
constant supervision is not exercised by
the mistress of the house. The particu-
lar eXterminator used in this case was
Paris green, one of the deadliest of min
eral poisons, and the testimony shows
that it was employed in entire ignorance
of the danger incurred. Enough of the
substance was scattered about the
kitchen to kill regiment-the only ex-
cuse for such an invitation to disaster
being desire to rid the premises of
reaches. Very likely the reaches were
killed by such vigorous treatment, but it
is miracle that the whole family was
not as summarily disposed Of AS it
was, the consequences were sufficiently
dreadful The poison was found scat
tered everyWhere-amOng the dishes,
among the knives and forks and on win
dOw-sills, where breath of air might
scatter it into articles under process of
cooking. Such foolhardiness is almost
incredible, and the carelessness of the
head of the family in permitting such
practices equally so. The travail of
looking after" servants is often a seri.

that it cannot, either in safety or COM
fort, be relaXed.-Ch6cdgO Tribune

drying oils, or other waterproof sub
stances, over the roots OF the hairs ana
allowed to dry, so as to form continu-
Gus membrane; after which all that is
necessary is again to soak the skins IN
warm water for a time to dissolve out all
the glue, and the new fabric is produced
in all it's completed condition. To rem
der the rubber or gutta-percha more last
ing it may be combined with sulphur so
as to vulcanize it, for which purpose a
solution Of chloride or hypochloride OF
sulphur in bisulphuret of carbon may be
employed. In using bisulphuret of car
bon forty parts of the same are to be
added to one part of chloride or hypO-
chloride of sulphur, prepared as neutral
as possible, and the solution is then al
lowed to remain in contact with the arti-
fetal skin of rubber or gutta-percha a
longer or a shorter time, minute being
sufficient for thin sheet This opera
ton must be completed, of course, be-
fore immersing in warm water toremove
the glue which produces the adhesion of
the hairs. One great advantage of this
process consists in the fact that
fabrics thus prepared are moth-proof,
and it is suggested that for many pur-
poses, such as the construction of rugs,
mats, ETC., they must be superior to the
natural skin. In the case of heavy skins
the artificial preparation is much lighter,
more pliable, and better in every respect,
Several of these artificial skins may be
combined so as to form one, or they may
| be modified in any manner desirable.

entirely free from any smell, and espe-
/ cially the animal odor which is so often

A Gypsy Divorce.

A CAMP of gypsies is near Washington,
and Republican, reporter has visited it
and talked with Gitana, gypsy maiden.
We quote:
We suppose you are human beings,
and have to get divorced?"
Sometimes; but it's dreadful thing
with us to get divorced. 1t causes grief
and mourning, and blood has to be
she'd"
"Well, pray tell us how you get di-
vorced?"
"I know I am talking too much" and
the Gitana trembled as she spoke; but
half dozen bright silver quarters thrown
into her lap seemed to give her assurance.
II know | am talking too much, but I'll
tell you. 1t is this way: When a man
and his wife are to be separated, it is
done by the sacrifice of horse.
Gone is picked out which is entirely
sound and free from bruise or even
scratch, and he is led out to the spot
where the divorce is to take place, and
exactly at twelve o'clock. The men cast
lots for the one who shall kill the horse,
and for this occasion he> is the priest.
The priest takes a long pole in his hand
and walks around the horse several times,
and in loud voice praises his good quail
lIlcS anu HdllltS I'LL tut peTSOnS WHO nave
owned it.
"The horse is then led into the tent of
the woman who is to be divorced. If he
kicks round and jumps about the woman
has been very bad; if he keeps quiet she
has not been so bad. The priest then
takes large knife and stabs the horse to
the heart, and when it is stretched out on
the ground the husband takes his place
on one side of it and the wife on the 9th
En-. They join hands across the horse,
and repeat some sentences in the gypsy
language. They then walk three times
around the horse in opposite directions.
"The last time, when at the head of the
horse, they face each other and speak,
and do the same thing at the tail. They
again shake hands and separate, one GO
ing north and the other south. She new
er marries again, and has to wear a mourn
ing veil, and big shoes on her feet. The
heart of the horse is then taken out,
roasted, sprinkled with brandy, and eat
en- by the husband and his friends. The
horse is then buried on the spot. The
husband can marry again"

WINNING GOLDEN Demonstrating
no man living has won more golden opin-
ions than DIR. Walker, as the enormous
and widely-increasing sale Of his CALI
FORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests. We
never look into one of our exchanges but
there is panegyric of the Bitters staring
us in the face. Our readers will say that
there must be reason for all this praise
They are right. The efficacy of this eel
ebrated medicine is established by evil
dence which it is impossible to doubt.
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to its excellence there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to
be unfailing All diseases arising from
Initiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by it. 1t is an effectual rem
edy for pulmonary complaints, bilious
remittent and intermittent fevers, rheu-
matism and dyspepsia. 1t purges the
body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone
to the system, and, where the vital pow
ers are enfeebled, restores their functions
to vigorous and healthy action. All this
it does the more effectually because it's
operation is not interfered with by the
presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR BIT-
TIERS is perfectly free from any such hurt
full ingredient. We have always believed
that plants contain the true remedies for
disease, and GU the remedies necessary.
DR.. Walker is on the line of real progress,
and we hope that he will not rest on his
present discoveries.

The Treatment of Hair or Fur.

REFERENCE has already been made to
a method of utilizing feathers of barn
yard poultry, wild fowl. ETC., in the prep
aration of loose fiber to be worked up
into felt cloth, blankets, etc. The fol-
lowing describes a somewhat cognate in
dustry having reference to anew mode of
treating fur. This forms the subject of a
communication by Mr.. Joseph Tussaud,
who is at present one of the proprietors
of the celebrated waX-work establish
ment in Baker street, London, founded
by Madame Tussaud. The attention of
Mr.. Tussaud was first called to the sub
Ject by his desire to transfer the hairs of
fur-bearing or other animals to wax fig
ures without including the skin in which
they were inserted. After numerous ex-
periments he succeeded in accomplishing
this and developing, as already remarked,
Enew industry. The great object
which Mr.. Tussaud aimed to secure was
the removal of hair or fur from the skin
and then attaching this to an artificial
skin, obtaining thus more perfect de-
gree of preservation for any purpose
whatever, while retaining the hairs in
their original and natural relationship.
For this purpose the piece of fur to be
treated may be soaked in lime-water or
other suitable liquid, as practiced by tam
ners, for the purpose of loosening the adj
hesion of the hair. tits then to be washed
in water, to free it from the superabund-
ant lime or other substance, and hung up

ure. 1t is then laid on a board, with the
nalr SIDE up, and solution of glue ap-
plleu py means of a brush or otherwise,
taxing care not to disturb the natural po-
sltlon ana relation OF the hair. The size
or glue is then allowed to harden. when
it will hold the fibers very firmly. The
natural skin may then be pulled entirely
off from the hairs, leaving their
ends exposed, which may then be
washed by some substance to free
them entirely from adherent fat, bulbs,
ETC., and properly poisoned. An arti-
nclal skin is next to be affixed by apply
ing india-rubber, gutta-percha, boiled
