Feeding for Profit.

The feeding OF pig
through the winter keeps him
alive. There is no growth, or
very little. The feed is, there
fore, no better than wasted, and
it can not pay to feed a pig over
winter to make an additional a.
amount OF porH. A March pig
that will weigh 200 or $50 pounds
at nine months old, is the most
profitable one that can be fed.
And a well,bred pig can be
made to weigh this by constant
good feeding. One OF our most
experienced farmers says he has
fed pigs to this weight and kept
their mates over to the next year,
when the latter made no more
than 500 pounds. or less. If
nine months feed of a young pig
makes 200 pounds of pork it can
not pay to feed a full-grown pig,
that needs twice the food, twelve
months to make the same quanti-

Dust Baths for Poultry.

Cleanliness is important 10 fowl
houses, for experience shows that
poultry are unfavorably affected
ny the emanations from filthy
quarters, and, besides, working in
places where roofs and floors are
covered with the droppings, is de
cidedly unpleasant. Dry earth, in
the form of powder, scattered
everywhere, will absorb the bad
odors, giving a wholesome atmos-
phere to the en.bouse, and at the
same time preserve the manure in
the least offensive condition.
Besides these purposes, box Of
dry earth should be in a conven.
lent corner of every fowl.house,
for the fowls to roll in. Dust
from the highway is the most
convenient. Replace the same by
an equal quantity of good gravel,
and the public will be the gamer.

How Good Stock PAYS.

Al correspondent of the Dixie
Farmer says: l will give a re-
cent occurrence or two that has
dollar and cents in it. A Ken
lucky breeder recently offered a
live proposition to a neighbor of
mine-$35 for all the calves on
his place from weaving to twenty
months old-and he declined the
offer. On the adjoining farms he
could have bought calves of the
same age at from 81 to Sc per
head. He said be would not
drive them to Kentucky if they
we're presented to him. Why?
The improved breed of calves
could be made to gross LOO
pounds at three years old; the
others, if ever, at 5 or 6 years;
one consuming as much grass and
requiring the same care as the
other. Comment is unnecessary.
| sold last fall, at the fair at Muir
freesboro, one-year-old FLY for
$500 in greenbacks. She was a
thoroughbred, and cost DO more
to raise her to that age than
mongrel or a mule, the only ad.
ditional cost being the first pro
duce. l refused $3.50 for her
second foal at five months old. !
paid 1929 for another mare; sold
her two year old and one year old
FLIES for $500. Paid $l,125 for
a fine jennet, in foal to a fine jack,
and sold at two and half years
old for $4,000. All the well-bred
pigs can raise are in demand at
$40 each at from two to three
months old. All the improved
varieties of sheep pay, their
lambs selling at from $40 to S25
at weaving time. The improved
breeds of poultry pay. What is
it that doSen't pay, if the best of
its kind, and well cared for?
What mongrel stock, does pay?
If any, | have to find it out.

Healing Wounds on Trees.

ETY. presented a receipt for cover
ing wounds in trees with a ce-
ment Of earth and ashes, tempered
SO that it will adhere easily, ac-
cording to the. plan based on the
well,known fact that clay, fresh
cow.dung, gum-shellac dissolved
in alcohol, or any other substance
making an alright covering,
helps new bark to form wherev.
er the old has been displaced. 1t

Go. Relation of Bees and
Flowers.

The bees, Mr.. Darwin says,
have solved a difficult problem.
They have made their cells of a
proper shape to hold the greatest
possible amount of honey with
the least possible consumption of
precious wax in their construction.
No human workman is skillful
enough to do what crowd of
bees can do, working in dark
hive-make cells of wax OF the
true form. The number of hum
bic bees in the country will de-
pend upon the number of cats.
How can that be? Because the
number of bees is dependent up
on the number of field mice, which
eat the bees. Hence the more
cats, the fewer mice, and the few
er mice, the more bees. If the
whole genus Of humble bees be.
came extinct, or very rare, the
hearts ease and red clover would
become rare or would disappear.
How is. that? Because bees pro-
mote the growth of those flowers.
The visits of bees are necessary
to the fertilization of some kinds
of clover, and almost indispensa-
BILE to the fertilization of the
hearts ease. In word-no
bees, no seed; no increase of the
flowers. The more visits from
the bees, the more seed from the
flower; the more seed from the
. flower, the more flowers from the
seeds. Nearly all our orchida'
ceous plants absolutely require the
visits Of insects to remove their
pollen masses. and thus to fertil-
ize them. Twenty heads Of
unprotected Dutch clover yielded
1900 seeds. The same number
protected not one seed; one hun
dred heads of unprotected clover
Welded $1,000 and the same num-
berprotected from bees, not a seed

A STRANGE Story.

In her last letter from Paris Mrs. Lucy
Hooper relates the following story:
One of the siran gest and most horrible Of
sensational incidents took place the other
day at Putneaux. A party Of children who
we're PLAYING in the eDvirons discovered
floating in the air and partly entangled
amid tie branches of tree white parcel
upborne Ivy means of some tw+Dty or th,rey
little red toy balloons, which were attached
to it, The attention OF the police being
called to this singular object, it was
brought down and the package opened,
which proved to contain tho corpse OF a
new born infant. Investigation in the
matter brought to light the following fact:
The child WAS that OF poor toynla;lcr
and his wife. just after the confinement
of the latter the husband had died sud
denly, and all the household goods and
chattels had be, seized for rent Tine nr-
happy woman was driven mad by this accn
mutation of mistortunes; she killed her
infant and then went and threw herself
into the river, leaving benind her written
paper in which she declared her nieution
of committing suicide, arl said she 'had
gotten her baby all ready to go up to
heaven" A sadder tale with stranger
termination it would be hard to find. TIE
toy balloons evidently bad formed part Of
the dead husbands stock in trade.

Pinchback,s Case.

Without doubt the Democrats will be
very jubilant to-day over the postponement
of the resolution to seat Senator Pinchback;
but when all the particulars are known they
will find they have very little to be happy
over. The resolution was adopted by
honest Republican votes in order to defeat
a plot of the Democratic members of both
houses to prevent the adoption of the ap-
preparation bills, and so force the President
to convene Congress in extra session. 1t
will be found, when the matter is again
brought up in the Senate, that the iubila.
ton will be all on the other eide.
