SALT AND Goals FOR HOGS. "A writer
for the Country Gentleman says; 81
have seen salt fed TO hogs for fifty years; /;
an6 in the last twenty years have fed
many heavy hogs, ranging from 300 to
600 pounds net. fed them all literally
with salt; have never lost one, nor has
one been sick an hour These hogs have
been fattened in close pen, and their
principal food Was corn-meaI made into
dough. This dough l have salted, at
least once a day. Sometimes my hogs
would fail to clean out their trough; in
that case would put a handful of salt
into my bucket, with some water, pour
it into their trough, and they would lick
il up with much relish. In addition to
salt feed Goals from the stove. make
it regular custom to feed Goals, and it is
astonishing what quantity hog will
eat, and how healthy and robust 1t will
make him. Let the hogs have'plenty of
salt and charcoal, and we shall hear less
of the cholera.

CARE OF HoRsRs.-The London Horse
book says; All horses must not be fed
in the same proportion, without regard
to their ages, their constitution and their
work; because the improperly of such
a practice is seIf-evident. Yet it is con-
stantly done, and is the basis of disease
of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account of the
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly iniuri-
GUS, because 1t brings on inflammation of
the bowels and skin disease. Chaff is
better for old horses than hay. because
they can chew and digest it better.
When horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats; if not worked
hard its food should chiefly be hay, be-
cause oats supply more nourishment and
fiesh-making material than any other
kind of food; hay not so much.
Rack-feeding is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay, from a
manger, because the food is not then
thrown out, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing
to the animals taste and more easily di-
gested. A teaspOonful of salt in bucket
of water is sufficient.

BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUTTER
A YEAR.-Among the many devices for
keeping butter in a manner that pre-
serves the fresh rosy flavor of new, with
all in sweetness, is the following, from
the DItcheSS Farmer, which is said to be
entirely successful: ITO three gallons of
brine, strong enough TO bear an egg, add
a quarter of q pound of nice white sugar,
and one tablespoonful of saltpeter. Boil
the brine, and when it is cold strain care
fully. Make your butter into rolls, and
wrap each separately with clean white
muslin cloth, tying up with string
Pack large jar full, weigh the butter
down, and pour on the brine until it is
submerged. This will keep really good
butter perfectly sweet and fresh for a
whole year. Be careful to not put up
on ice butter that you wish to keep for
any length of tim0. In summer when
the heat will not admit of butter being
made into rolls, pack closely in small
jars, and, using the same brine, allow it
to cover the butter to a depth of at least
four inches. This excludes the air, and
answers very nearly as well as the first
method suggested "a

FATTENING HoRsEs.-For fattening a
horse there is probably no grain supe-
rior 10 barley. In Germany barley is
ground into -four and made into cakes
for horses, and in England it is generally
boiled and fed at evening. Five pounds
at feeding three times a day, is the
rate of feeding barley at the West, and
it is regarded as very fattening food.
Green rye or clover may be cut green
and fed to the horses in the stall to bet
ter advantage than turning out to pas
ture. But probably a liberal supply of
Swedish turnips or rutabagas cut in
slices and liberally covered with Indian
meal, will lay Oh fat as fast as is desira-
bic. Ii is, we think, about the best SUBJ
stitute for green food, gives a soft and
glossy coat, an elastic step and good
spirits We do not think the yellow or
Swedish turnip is appreciated as it
ought to be, as food for horses.-MaSs-

desire to sit is but natural to fowls, but
when we wish for eggs rather than chick
ems, it is of Importance to US not only to
stop them from sitting, but to do it with
as little loss of time as in our power
Consequently we divert the attention Of
the sitting hen as much as possible from
carrying out her propensity, and it should
always be done with reason and human
ity. Do not half drown the poor crea-
ture by dipping her in water, nor confine
her to a small box with narrow boards
set On edge for the bottom, so that she
must always roost, nor yet scare her of
her nest, for she is in her right place, but
''take her up tenderly, lift her with care,
and place her in a strange place OF con-
fnement, with supply of food and wa
ter constantly by her, where she will
probably soon forget her broodibg pro-
cIivities, and return with renewed vigor
to the egg business. II, however, she is
an inveterate sitter, who does not know
an egg from brickbat when the fever
is on, and she persists in sitting on the
bare floor, as is the case occasionally with
Asiatics, confine a cock in the same
apartment with her, and the cure may
be warranted.

For correcting the evils resulting from
a tough sod around orchard trees. or
from mutilating the numerous small f.
brous roots which fill the surface of the
soil, and for keeping down weeds and
rendering the earth cool and moist
mulehing is the best means to be resorted
to. A correspondent writes to a con-
temporary: 81 know of instances of
mulching orchards bearing heavy crops
of fruit every year, and of others where
the mulching operation was diseontin-
ued, and where the trees at once dete-
riorated. Mulching is also of great use
in the garden, to save labor, as well as
to keep the soil moist and cool. After
hoeing, if the surface of the ground is
covered with good coat of weeds or
straw, and among our tomatoes, currants,
raspberries. etc, the effect will plainly
be seen. l think blackberries cannot be
successfully cultivated..without resorting
to this system"

gloss and freshness Of yOlth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the fOllieles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fOuling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long ON the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre. and grateful perfume.

THEY DO NOT KEEP ACCOUNTS. The
Warsaw Reso Yorker says the census emu
merators don't find many farmers who
keep any sort of accounts of their pro-
ductioEs OF sales. Out of seventy, inter
viewed last week, only one had an ac-
count with his farm. The farmers
everywhere are very negligent in this
respect. They would find it very greatly
to their interest to keep an accurate
account with the farm of all their receipts
and expenditures. There are excellent
rules and forms for such kind of book
keeping published. There is nothing so
conducive to thrift and promotion of
proper economy as to have constantly an
accurate knowledge of ones affairs.

SAVE THK SoAPsUDs.-However de-
plorable washing day may be to the
household, (and the careful house mis-
tress or tidy maid has it in her power to
greatly modify its diseomforts), to the
garden it is a very bountiful day Our
hungry and thirsty grape vines and flow
ers are glad of every drop of wash water,
and will repay every bit of fatigue itmay
cost us to give them this fertilizer. If
the sun is shining hot when we go out to
dispense our favor, it is best for us to
dig a slight trench not far from the root
of the plant. and pour the water into it,
and cover again with the top soil. This
makes the water go farther, and at the
same time does not tempt the rootlets to
the surface of the ground--Duchess

GARMENTS MADE WATER -PRooF.-A
writer in an English paper says: ''By
the way, speaking of waterproofs, 1 think
can give travellers a valuable hint or
two. For many years have worn India
rubber water-proofs, but will buy no
more, for ! learned that good Scottish
. tweed can be made entirely impervious
to rain, and, moreover, have learned
how to make it SO; and, for the benefit
of your readers, will give the recipe:-
In a bucket of soft water put half a
pound of sugar of lead, and half pound
of powdered alum; stir this at intervals,
until it becomes clear; pour off into an
other bucket, and put the garment there
in, and let it be in for twenty-four hours,
and then hang it up to dry without
wringing it. Two of my party-a lady
and gentleman-have worn garments
thus treated in the widest storms of wind
and rain, without getting wet. The
rain hangs upon the cloth in globules.
In short, they were really water proof.
The gentleman, a fortnight ago, walked
nine miles in a storm of rain and wind,
such as you rarely see in the South, and
when he slipped off his overcoat his un-
derware was as dry as when he put them
on. This is, / think, a secret worth
knowing, for cloth, If it can be made to
keep out wet, is, in every way, better
than what we know as most water proofs
WHKAT IN SHOCK DURING HEAVY

that shocked it well, and then let it
alone. had twenty-five acres in wheat
which / served in this way: / did not
even go near the field until the rains
subsided. And when fair weather came,
attended to cutting my meadow first,
and am now just hauling in my wheat.
/ find that great many of the cap
sheaves are not entirely spoiled, and the
heart of the shocks is perfectly good
Now, when thresh it, that which is
sprouted, being light and dry, will be
separated from the good wheat, this lat
ter serving both for bread and seed.
But the most of our farmers rushed |
into the fields between showers, and |
opened the shocks, and tried TO dry them,
putting them hastily together again when
more rain threatened. Now, after a shock /
has been once compactly put up, il it is
taken down, and the bundles separated,
it can never be put together SO as to turn

lands, and being washed away. lost

for ups and downs in prices of wheat, We
shall not be disappointed if, by the 10th
of September next, So so per centalQ QOG
pounds shall have become the ruling
and prevailing price in San Francisco.
We want no one TO sell wheat or buy
wheat on our Judgment, but rather to
act oa his own judgment A good and
sale way is TO divide the chances. If we
had large crop or heavy load on, we
think We would sell part or tighten up
our load, so that it would not be quite
so heavy, and then wait while and
watch the chances. On the whole, we
believe the prospects are good for favor
