Recorder Hackett, of New York, is one
of the finest pistol shots in the country,
One daya few years ago, as lie was dis
cussing with his father (the famous
"Falstaff'') and George Clarke, the actor,
the merits of various noted shots, Clarke
wagered that young Hackett could not
hit a common playing card 300 feet dis
tant. He accepted the challenge, and
offered further, to knock cigar from his
fathers mouth with pistol ball at the
same distance. Both feats were success

Swallowing n Cent.

DIR. Gibbs, one of the editors of Halls Journal
Of Health, who is himself an educated physician
and surgeon, while on a railroad train the other
day was consulted by one of the employees on the
cars in relation to his little boy, who had that
morning swallowed cent.
"What have yOu done for him ?" asked the
doctor. ave gave him a dose of castor oil, was
the reply. Good practice, so far; as soon as you
reach home give him the whites of three raw
eggs daily, let his diet be bread and milk, and
nothing sour" The directions were followed faith
fully, the whites of eggs repeated every day and
the dose of oil at night, and on the fourth day
the cent was discharged. 1t was one of the new
copper coins and considerably corroded by the
action of the gastric juices.
Since fatal results often follow the swallowing
of a copper coin, the judicious treatment advised
i'll this instance should be remembered by all
who have the care of children. The essential
points to be borne in mind are simply these: Al
bumen, or the whites of eggs, bland diet free
from acids, and castor oil.

Keep rhe srock In Conai,ion.

Farmers should take advantage of the late fall
months, after the swarms of flies have ceased Il
inflict the stock, TO get all the animals not in
a good thrifty condition into such a state before
the severe weather of winter sets in. Animal.
put in fair flesh before cold weather comes will
go through the winter much better, and with
less expense to the owner, than stock starting
through in poor condition.
Provide extra food, if necessary, so that an
abundant supply can be fed regularly while it
will do the most good. In this way a store OF
carbon is provided for winter use, and may,
with good care and comfortable quarters. be
maintained in fair condition without much
trouble. Stock in this way may be put upon
grass next spring worth twice as much as if neg
lected during the change from green to dry food
which must soon take place. Unless great care
is taken stock suffer more and depreciate more
rapidly in value during the early winter and
spring months, than at any other time. Precau.
tons should be exercised to avoid the great
Losses which occur at these times. The change
should be made by degrees. When the grass be.
comes scarce and killed by the frosts, the dry
food should first be supplied in small quantities
and the amount increased as the case may re.
quire. Keep the stock growing, otherwise the
results will not be satisfactory. The neglect in
this explains one cause of so much poor stock
being sent to our markets.-IFestern Rural

AUTUMN LEAvEs.-First gather the leaves
from the trees just as soon rs they are ready to
fall, soon possible after they have fallen;
press them Immediately for week more until
they are perfectly dry. Get half pound of yell
low besswax, put it in tin vessel, and place
the vessel in spider containing little water
which must be kept constantly boiling ON the
top of the stove over a steady fire. Take each
leaf by the stem and dip it in the hot wax. Once
dipping is usually sufficient III the wax
gathers on the edges touch the places lightly on
the hot tin. The leaves dry instantly, and all
the bright natural colors are preserved, and will
reaman for year. By piercing the leaf near
the stem with double thread wire you can weave
them on coarser wire or large cord into any
description of garlands.-Detroit Tribune.

WinIerinR Cnbhages.

There are several plans for the winter storage
of cabbages, snch as ptting in various ways,
keeping in cool houses, cellars, etc. / have
found that the simplest and safest plan is to al
low the heads to stand where they grew until
there is danger of damage from severe frost,
then to take them up roots and all on dry day
and arrange them in double rows in some part
of the garden where water cannot lodge, with
heads down and roots upPermOst as in common
method of pitting, then cover with dead leaves
and other rubbish to the depth of six inches or
more, giving the pile rooflike shape, and keep
ing the leaves, etc, in place by poles or brush.
! have managed my cabbages in this way for the
last two seasons, and they have kept remarka-
bly, well, and are easy of access at all times, no
digging being required, the heads coming up
fully by slight pull although the ground may
be frozen to great depth at the time.--COr.

with the greatest care all the leaks could not be

There is something about cut shingles which
every one has not learned-it is this: Every

rough side is caused by the sliingle cracking

on the roof, this side is turned to the weather,
the lint from the shingles above washes into the
cracks, thus making the shngle equal tn a sawed
shingle, and some claim even better. but II the
smooth side be turned to the weather, the roof
will leak and become worthless as soon as the

Raising and Fa,.ening Lnrge Hogs.

We raise the Poland China, because they are
the most profitable hog to raise. We breed
young sows to have them farrOw in April aud
May. We find that ground floors are better
than plank for sows and young pigs. Sows are
kept separate until the pigs are two or three
weeks old, when all are turned together on pas
ture. The sOws are fed on ear corn and water,
the pigs on soaked sheled corn, and what swill
the kitchen affords. We wean the pigs at ten to
twelve weeks old, by turning the SOws into an
other pasture where they get no grain. The
pigs are put after cattle in the fall, and they
continue there till grass starts well in the spring,
when they are turned into pasture, where it is
"roOt hog die" and their noses ringed at that.
And right here lies the secret of raising strong,
healthy hogs, that will fatten easily and tip the
beam at 500 pounds.
From three TO four months in the summer, we
feed no grain to hogs We feed the new corn
poor policy to stuff hogs with green corn, espe-
ciaily TO fatten them in few weeks; they eat
large amount, if fed, and do not give half re-
turn for il. When hogs are fed corn all summC r.
they should he fattened and sold off on old corn.
II is folly TO undertake to put the top on a hog
with green corn. His whole material system
has Ia first undergo a change before he
make fresh start, which is too expensive with
soft corn. Green corn should only be fed to thin
hogs, and sparngly at that.
We give our hogs in winter, a warm place to
sleep i'm, a dust nest, which is always the same
temperature. We feed till February.
During the last three years the lighteSt lot of
hogs we have sold averaged 40 pounds and the
heaviest 4S7 pounds. We boldly assert that by
our mode of feeding, these weights were attain
ed with less grain, trouble and expense than
they could have been by any other mode.
We are positively opposed to feeding cook ed
food TO pigs and growing hogs. If pigs are to
be crowded for early market or matured hogs
to be fattened, it may pay to cook feed We do
not believe that nature designed that swine
should have cooks. 1t is the worst thing far
mer can do to feed his growing breeders cooked
food. G. BTOlrn, In Progressive Farmer.
