Early Feeding Of Hogs.

No ONE except he has had the expert.
ence knows how important it is to begin
early in the fall to feed hogs for market.
Even if the fatting process is intended to
be kept up until late in the winter the
feeding can be made profitable if the
hogs are young, of a good breed and Sc
lection. Continued profit, however, de-
ponds wholly upon scientific knowledge
md skill in the management, for it is
well known that swine continue to thrive
certain length of time when fed in the
ordinary way and to feed differently the
farmer must know how. By beginning
to feed early, before the corn hardens,
this may be done without extra care. In
fact the swine may with profit be turned
into the field if not put ON too large q
portion at once. 1t is necessary to bring
them up to full feed gradually, during
a period of two or three weeks, before
giving them gorge, of The fresh ears,
which is liable to founder them in such a
manner that they seldom fully recover
from it.
Early feeding adds flesh more rapidly
than late and puts on thick covering Of
fat during the warm weather to protectthem
during the colder season of winter The
early-fed corn being soft is easily digested
and assists the fatting process greatly, as
all know who have tried cooked food for
stock. We have known many farmers to
delay the feeding of their hogs until late
in the fall, so that they might save their
corn and hit late market for their pork,

Setting Out Strawberries.

SOME are inclined to set out their straw
berries in August and September. 1t is
not the best time in this climate. Nav is
a much better time, though if any small
beds are needed, and the plants are near at
hand, they may be set at this season, if
there are plenty OF rains. As rule we
advise only spring planting. We find
some good hints in the New York Tribune
about making beds, which will apply either
in spring OF fall:
There is not much danger of making
land too rich for strawberries, especially il
it has been cropped for several years pre-
vious. Twenty five tons of stable manure,
however, ought to be good dressing for
an acre of sod turned under in the fall, and
the fifty tons you have on hand will proba-
bly, be sufficient for the two acres. If the
plants do not grow as rapidly as desired,
then add ashes or ground bone, as a top
dressing, as this is the best way to apply
those materials. A dressing of lime and
ashes might be applied with benefit in the
spring, after the first blowing, say twenty
bushels per acre of the first and five of the
latter. These will aid in the decomposi-
ton of the vegetable matter in the soil, but
add very little in the way of fertilizer;
but the ashes and ground bone may be app
piled with benefit, and at any time of the
year, but just after the fruit is gathered in
summer will give the plants q vigorous
start in the fall. The hoeing or cultivating
will mix these materials into the soil deep
enough to reach the roots, and do more
good than to be plowed under deeply. A
ton of either will not be too heavy dress
ing, if worked in with q hoe or cuitivator
If applied just before shower there will
be no danger of injuring the leaves of the
plants. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Flowers in Germany.

A Stuttgart correspondent of the Louis

nsver been more luxuriant than during
the present season. In violet time the
restrictions in regard 10 walking on the
grass in gardens and parks were removed,
and all reveled in the purple harvest,

cr0~ding them into graceful baskets, An
American gentleman, charmed with the
mere sentiment of the thing, sent his wife

perfect carnival of bloom greeted US from
day to day during the whole spring, and

FlOOd-Water of Rivers.

The recent disastrous floods in Europe
have called the attention of engineers "
the various methods which have been pro-
posed to prevent these calamities. A
writer in Nature thinks that the only way
in which mountain torrents can be regu-
lated is by constructing reservoirs to re-
tain the flood-water. He then proceeds to
quote from a paper presented some time
since to the Smithsonian Institute by Mr..
Charles Elicit, Jr., C. E., containing valu-
able information in regard to the improve
ment of the navigation of the Ohio River.
He says - "This paper contains the tabu-
lated results of an elaborate series of OBJ
servations made by the author in the
spring and summer of 1S49 on the flow OF
the Ohio at Wheeling, between Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati. The flow varied from
1O,15S, 900 cubic feet per hour. with a
depth of 2.20 feet on the bar at Wheeling,
TO 736, OOO, 900 cubic feet, with depth OF
125 feet on the bar. The average vol
Ohio is S35. 900, OO0, 900 cubic feet This
volume would fill lake 100 feet deep and
17h miles square. To have regulated the
supply OF the river in 1913, so as to have
kept the depth on the bar at Wheeling
uniform throughout the year, would have
required reservoirs capable of hold
ing 100000, 600, 600 cubic feet which
is equivalent to single lake 1OO feet
deep and 91s miles square. There is NJ
difficulty, on any of the principal tribu-
taries of the upper Ohio, in obtaining
capable of holding from 49,
00O, OO0 900 to 20, OO0, 600 900 of cubic feet 1t
can scarcely be doubted that twelve or fif-
teen sites for dams may be selected capa-
cious enough to hold all the excess of
water and equalize the annual discharge
so nearly that the depth may be kept with
in a very few feet OF an invariable height
To control the floods of the river, howev-
er, much less than this would be needed.
Mr.. Elicit takes the case of the flood of
1871, as being that it which the
greatest quantity of water passed down of
all the floods concerning which he has in
formation. He takes twenty five feet of
1epth on the bar as the highwater mark,
lbove which the river is in flood; he es-
imates that during nine days of flood the
liver passed down 159, 000, O00, 900 cubic
eet of water, while during the same time,
lad it been steady at the high-water mark,
he discharge would have been only 115,-
100, OO0, 900. If consequently the excess Of
4, O00, 000, 900 had been kept back in res
rvoirs the flood would have been pre-
'ented. The volume it is here proposed
o deal with-44 900 900 900 cubic feet-is
ust equal to the quantity the river would
discharge in fifty days when there is
epth Of five feet in the channel.

The POetical Bedouin.
A writer says:

A writer says: .-q.-. -
The Bedouins pride themselves on hav-
ing much more Intelligence and refine
ment, romance and poetry than the settled
tempt for the feflahin. One day Bedouin
threw this in the face of Christian fel-
lah. They had some high words about it,
upon which the Bedouin said: Well,
tnou shall come to our tents. / will ask
my daughter but three questions; we will
note her answers. l will accompany thee
to thy village and thou shalt ask thy
daughter the same three questions, and
we will compare her language with my
daughters. Both are uneducated. My
daughter knows naught but natures Ian
guage- Thine may have seen something
of towns and villages and passers-by and
have some advantage over mine"
They first went to the camp.
Bedouin Father-O my daughterl
Girl-Here am, o my father!
Father-Take our horses and picket
them.
The ground was stony and she hammered
Girl-My father, knocked the iron
against the stone, but the ground will not
open to receive her visitor.
At dinner her father knew he had rice
on his beard and that the girl was
ashamed.
What is it, o my daughter ~
My father, the gazelles are feeding in
valley full of grassl"
He understood, and wiped his beard
Wake up early, o my daughterp
Yes, my father"
She called him: My father, the light
Is at hand"
"How dost thou know, o my daughterf"
The anklets are cold to my feet; l
smell the flowers ON the river-bank, and
the sun-bird is singing"
Thence they went to the fellah's village.
It was now his turn.
Fellah-M My daughteri
Girl-What do you want, father?
"Take our horses and picket them"
The ground being hard, she hammered
and, losing her temper, threw
down the stone, crying:
have knocked it so hard, and it won't
60 in"
Change 1t then, girl"
At dinner he purposely dropped some
rice on his beard. She pointed at him,
began to laugh, and said: wipe your
chin, my father"
On going to bed he said: Wake US
early my daughter"
- Yes, father" she replied.
Father" she called at dawn, "get up;
it is daylightp'
How do you knew, my daughter"
MY stomach is empty; / want to eat"
The fellah was obliged to acknowledge
the superiority of Bedouin household
over his own.

znew one to secure the best

but we never knew one to secure the best
results in that way.
Grass is an excellent adjunct to corn as
long as it is available. The exercise nee
essary to get it is desirable to promote
health and muscular development. Large
and vigorous growth can be promoted in
no other way. The flesh can be laid on in
close confinement with profit if done
quickly and the hog sent to the market
before a retrograde movement cuts off the
increasing weight We do not advise ex-
ercise after the animal becomes so bur-
dened with flesh as not to be able to move
with reasonable degree of effort, for at
this stage of existence he is usually ap-
preaching very near the most profitable
time to dispose of him.

/" Ell Goohah."

The natives of Mesopotamia possess .
kind of boat, used solely for fresh-water
navigation, which, for originality of de-
sign and manner of construction, is GER
tainly very peculiar. It is probable, top,
that the existence of such boats has hishe
erto scarcely been known beyond the
boundaries of the country where they are
in use. sS
lei Goofah," as the Anticipating
population of that region commonly caA
this peculiar craft, is undoubtedly boat
of very ancient origin, dating its first use
but little later than the raft-the latter be-
ing probably the most primitive of all
floating structures.
There is proof positive that the gooffah
was in use in Assyria many centuries an
terror to the birth of Christ, as unmistalks-
BILE fac-similes thereof, represented on bas-
relief, Inscriptions and other antiquities
unearthed from among the ruins OF Nine
veh, Babylon and Kufa, attest.
The gooffah is nothing more nor less
than q huge, perfectly round basket Of
extremely strong and coarse wooden wick
er-work.
1t is constructed of various sizes, vary
ing between four and eight feet in diane
ter, and between three and four feet in
depth, which size, combined with its
spherical shape and slightly-rounded bot
tom, renders it capable of carrying from
two to ten tons of dead weight-a carry.
ing capacity exceeding that of any other
kind of boat of equal dimensions hitherto
known.
The huge basket, which constitutes the
framework of the craft, is rendered per-
fectly water-tight by coat of asphaltum,
carefully applied about an inch thick ali
over the inside and outside of the basket,
after having been mixed with some other
substance, which latter causes the asphalt
tum, almost as soon as applied: to become
the intense heat of the sun.
The sides and bottom of the gooffah are
from three to five inches thick, according
to the size of the craft, and the rim is
nicely rounded Offs. Nicholas for Sep.
