THE FOOD OF SWINE.

Ii there is any one thing in rural prac-
tice which needs reformation more than
another, 1t is the manner Of raising and
feeding swine. From the day they are
large enough to eat they arc offered all
manner of refuse about the place, such as
rank weeds, filthy slops, spoild vegetables
and meats; dead fowls, &c. They are al.
lowed TO rummage the dung yard and

cattle and horses, on the ground Of econ.
omy. But We imagine that the quantity
OF food saved in this way is very insignia
cant not to exceed the value Of bushel
oil shelled corn year among the whole
stock on an ordinary sized farm. The
objections to the practice Of keeping swine
in this way are So serious, however, that
the reasons in favor Of il have no force
at all. The Origin of trichinosis in swine
may be always traced to the consumption
OF vile stuits in their food, or to being
housed and yarded amid filth aud foul
air. Every few months the press amour
ces case Of trichine in an individual or
whole family, with all the horrible de.
tails and suilerings which attend the par
asltic attack. Only lately some new cases
are reported here in the west which are
alarming. We are quite sure that every
farmer and every one who feeds and fat
tens pig will only need to have their
attention called to so important and Sc.
rious matter to secure a complete reform
in the practice Of feeding an animal which
Will take whatever is offered to it, and
will live in the most filthy holes and yards
On the farm the swine should have clover
pasture, and for swill only milk and corn
meal; no dish water or meat scraps from
the table, as these are sure to purify
and poison the mass in the barrel or tank.
Pure water, with a little meal added is
preferable.

HORSE MORALS.

In discussing the moral qualities Of
the horse, the Iowa State Journal offers
the following sensible ideas:
In selecting 4 horse, or mare for breed.
ing, speed and form arc not all the quail
tiles to be looked after. Never breed to
a vicious or ill.tempered horse, no matter
what may be his pedigree or anteccdents;
and reject at once any horse lacking a
sprightly intelligence. There are as
many degrees Of intelligence in horse as
IN the human race, and without intelli-
gence a horse is always sluggish, stupid
and awkward in his movements. The
thoroughbred Arabian horse has general
ly that capacity necessary for learning
any useful lesson, that all his work and
labor for man are pleasure TO the own
er and apparently to the horse. We like
to see a man proud of noble horse, but
more especially does it fill our heart with
delight to see horse proud Of his mas
ter. There are clowns among horses and
they are always yexation to the owner.
Some will plod along the road never look
ing where they step, and just as likely to
step or stump or a hole in a bridge as
any other place. But the intelligent
horse takes heed to his steps, and if any
thing happens dangerous to life or limb
to himself or his master, his judgment
frequently prevents the accident. And
gentle, kind horse, with large devel.
opment Of social and intellectual powers,
whites away many weary hour Of the
lonely traveller, or lightens the labor of
the long days of the tiller of the soil. In
selecting breeders, great care should be
taken relative to the social morals Of
both horse and mare. Like begets like,
and in no case more than that Of the
horse. A bad and vicious temper in a
horse may be checked but never eradicat-
ed, he will always be unpleasant, danger
Gus, and in his fretting and Tuning will
unnecessarily waste his strength. Form
and action have claimed the closest scru-
tiny, and those qualities have been given
their full Importance, but the social
morals of the horse have been lost sight
Of in the strife Of speed and strength.
Viciousness is almost invariably trans
mitted to the progeny, more certainly
than color or points, and should be a
serious objection to any horse as a good
breeder.

MEASURING NAY IN BULK.

So many things have to be taken into con.
sideration in calculating weight of hay in
bulk, it makes it difficult to get at it
precisely. For example; fine, new.mown
hay, like red top or herds grass, would
require 500 cubic feet for the ton; limo
thy, $50; clover, $50; coarse meadow hay,
700 or more. After being stacked so
days the bulk would be decreased from
five to ten per cent, possibly more, ac-
cording to the size Of the stack and the
pressure upon it. Again, hay will vary
somewhat in measurement according to
the time it is cut. If this be done when
it is just coming into blossom, as it al
ways should, it will pack closer and weigh
more per cubic foot than ii left till the
seed begins to ripen, and the stalks and
leaves Rave grown coarser and become
drier. Good judgment and some exper-
fence i'll measuring and weighing are re.
CURED to get at this correctly. A neigh
Dor of mine informs me that he once had
the curiosity to weigh his timothy hay as
he put it into the barn in July. lie sold
it in nine months after, and on reweigh.
ing it as it came out Of the barn he found,
greatly to his surprise, that it had shrunk
TO within fraction Of 25 per cent.

wait to see the fulfillment ofhis prophecy.
Further on he says: "A special man,
like Ralston, our host at Belmont, tries
to guard himself by a denial OF such

them once week. Dining quickly and
tossing off three pints Of milk, he rises
early, leaves his guests and goes TO bed.

man addressed.
81 said parallelcgram, Mr-''exclaimed
the lady with combination of dignity
and indignation impossible to describe.
"Do you intend to masticate your
house I" inquired a western lady of a
friend Of mine who was building. He
was a critical, cultured New Highlander,
as exact as witty. What a droll look
came over his face as he answered:
my wife says eat like an anaconda,
and am blessed with the digestion of an
ostrich; but, really madam, | don't think
| could manage my three story brick.
This makes me think Of Leigh Hunt s
reply mot at all malapropl to lady who
said to him at dinner:
"Mr. Hunt won't you venturs on an
apple 7"

I'm afraid should tumble off,"
But to keep to our theme. A lady
visiting Washington for the first time
sent word to friends at home that she was
dreadfully disappointed; she meant to
have got an Indian Bureau for Jennie
room, but there weren't any to be had;
and that she was so busy shampooning a
young lady from one place to another
that she had no time to write letters.
A rather old girl (who had been lured
to California by the cheering information
that she was sure to marry there) laid
seige to a wealthy widdower, who at first
showed signs Of succumbing, but finally
resisted the attck. As usual with women
who are feeling intensely disappointed,
she "diden't care; no, not one bit" And
she exclaimed, half sobbing, to bosom
friend:

Cattle relish carrots amazingly in the
spring, after a long confinement to grain

not crosswise, then there is no danger of
a too eager animal getting chokcd. At
first, carrots will act as diuretic and Taxa.

the fact that they restore a proper tone
