The Berkshire the Best.

An experienced stock man writes,
that it becomes more and more evident
that the Berkshire breed of swine is
crowding aside very fast all other breeds
of hogs in the western pork-producing
States. The Berkshire is a very hardy
hog, which transmits it's qualities upon
its offspring with great certainty, and
having a dark colored skin, is less sub
ject to skin diseases than that of almost
any other breed. The Berkshire ma
lures very early, is very active and
industrious, is an excellent feeder, fat
tens very rapidly on almost anything
commonly used as food for hogs, and
contains, when we'll fattened, as little
offal as any other known breed. The
Berkshire is large enough for any pur-
pose, if we'll fed and nationally treated
when young.
1t is true, some other breeds-the
Poland-C China, for instance-attain q
larger size and a greater weight, but
require more time to mature; while a
well-bred Berkshire pig under one year
old will outweigh in net weight, if it
has been sufficiently we'll kept, any Po-
land-China of the same age There
need be no complaint that Berkshires
are too small for general purposes
Neither should the same be classed any
more among the so-called small breeds,
as is usually done .; for they have been
recognized for long time in Europe as
a middle breed. Further, the meat of
the Berkshire swine is much more solid
and less flabby than that of almost any
breed, and therefore the most desirable,
not only for family use, but also for
packing purposes.

WINTER CARE OF BULBS,

AS soon as the frost blackens the
Dahlia, the roots are dug up, dried q
little, and put into cellars. 1t is not
well to have them too dry, as they part
with their moisture quite easily In
many cellars they dry so much that
they are of little use in the Spring. In
some cases they can be put into sand in
cellars, but it ought to be very dry sand
as the same warmth which makes an
uncovered Dahlia root wither will make
it sprout before it's time, if the sand has
much moisture in it.
Gladioluses keep pretty well under
the same conditions as the Dahlia.-
They, however, may be kept quite dry,
as they do not shrivel to hurt as a
Dahlia does.
The Tuberose is rather particular as
to its Winter quarters. Good florists
tell US that if they are kept in tenn
perature below As deg. during Winter,
the bulbs will not flower next year
How this is the writer does not know.
His few tuberoses are kept in a box
under MS nttle green mouse stage, and
they always do well; but the hint in
regard to temperature is worth taking
note Of
Some try to keep Geraniums as they
would bulbs in a cellar. The leaves
and soft succulent growth are cut off,
leaving the hard solid stems. These are
then tied in bundles and hung in the eel
lar. 1t is said they keep well in this way,
but it has not succeeded with the writer.
They wither and dry up entirely, and
those who have succeeded must have
had one somewhat more damp, and yet
if too damp the atmosphere, it seems
moe than probable, the roots and stems
would rot. Perhaps if some moss were
mixed with the roots before tying in a

w%I 1t is calculated that eggs, but
ter, etc, are going to bring very high
prices next year, on account of the large
consumption of them that will be pro-
duced by the Centennial. Farmers and
others should prepare to profit by this
promising demand. An extra number
of hens should be kept, and extra care
should be given them through the win
ter. The cows should also be warmly
housed and literally fed. In the matter
of attending cows we think mistake is
made by the neglect they often have to
endure. One COW we'll fed and attended
to, will make more butter than three
that receive such neglect as we fire.

stock be obtained, and careful treatment

How to Make Country Towns Attractive.


Mr. Henry c. Bowen delivered an
address at the fair in Woodstock, Conn,
in which be made the following remarks
in closing: The time is not far distant
when the people in all towns and vii
lagos will organize and go systemati-
cally and jovfully to work in making
public improvements. Those places
which move the soonest will reap ear
Hest and greatest renown, for they will
gain in population the refined, the most
enterprising and wealthy, and make
permanently secure their prosperity.
Real estate will increase in its value,
taxes will decrease because of the in
crease value of property and of popula-
ton, and everybody will be made hap
pier and better by the change. 1t is
time to think of the improvement of
your public streets and highways 1t
is time to think of sidewalks and shade
trees along all your highways, of pub
lie parks and fountains, of bathing
houses and boat houses, of flowers
and shubbery-of grading and leveling,
of doing everything in your power to
make all these beautiful hills and valleys
bud and blossom as the rose, and be
more and more your pride and joy. In
this good work you must unite, harmo-
NOUS, and persevering, and the blessed
yearly investment of time and money
you will make, will repay you adividend
every day the year around and all your
life long, and thousands shall share in
your investment when you are dead and
forgotten.
Let every man, woman and child do
something in this matter, and do it
promptly. You can at least plant an
elm or a rose bush every year, and you
will not have lived entirely in vain. A
single word more under this head l
hope the time will speedily come when
it shall be called punishable offense for
any man to make the public highway a
depository for all his old broken carts,
and stone heaps, and old rubbish from
his garnet and barn, from cellar and
dooryard. Such action is harmful, de-
moralizing, and public nuisance, and
it should be rigidly forbidden and pre-
vented. You have the power thus to
do, and l hope you will have the dis
position to enforce it. 1t is for the pub
lie good that this should be done, and
this is reason enough. And hereafter
if man wants a nuisance, let him have
it in his own door yard, where he can
see it, ponder over it and smell it every
day, all by himself Those towns and
villages will most prosper which fastest
multiply their local attractions. You
will all, of course, vote for schools,
churches, and workshops, and this is
right, but you must march onward be.
yond these points as fast as you can
with proper regard to other duties
Look out for public institutions and
endow them. Look out for your streets
and highways, and improve them.
Make your town, your village, and your
home more and more beautiful every
year. Your hearts will be made better
and your souls will be richer for Sc
doing Pardon this friendly criticism
and accept my best wishes for your con-
tinual prosperity.

How TO GET RID OF STUMPs.-Gen.
Colqutt, of Georgia, in recent address,
said that to remove stumps from field
all that is necessary is to have one or
more sheet iron chimneys, some four or
five feet high. Set fire to the stump
and place the chimney over it so as to
give the requisite draft at the bottom.
1t will draw like stove. The stump
will soon be consumed. With several
such chimneys, of different sizes, re-
moval of stumps MAJ be accomplished
at merely nominal labor and expense.

bundle, and this moss moistened now
and then, if the cellar We're very dry,
very good success might be had in this
way 1t is worth trying Geraniums,
if in this way they could be kept from
year to year, could be had in time of
considerable size and in this condition
few things would be more snowy in the
flower borders.

CHANGES IN THE BODY.

When science discovered that the human
body underwent an entire change during
the period Of seven years, it was considered
very remarkable, but Dr. Lyon Playfair
read letter not long ago before IL British
Social Science Congress, wherein he de-
clared that "all the particles OF the body
changed every six weeks. The same cmi-
nent authority wisely declares that the
substance of all our sanitary science, ac-
oumulated by ages, might be sumMed upin
thepregnant advice of the prophet, "Wash

that for Il thousand years after the civiliza-
ton Of the Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks
and the Romans, faded; there was not

measure, the wondrous epidemic of the
middle ages, which cut of one fourtho Of the
population of Europe-the spotted plague,

Just then there came 4 heavy crash from
the apartments below.

where they shivcrcd and cringei, unable to
speak from terror.

police in the morning with our throats cut
from ear to ear. Peste ! fools give me the
gun"
She seized the doublc-barreled gun that
laid upon the shelf, and started down stairs.
while the two frightened men watched her
without saying Il word. Presently bang!
went the gun, and groan was heard.
Bang! went the second barrel, and n
screech of pain resounded through the
house that caused the blood of the brothers
to run cold.
A brief pause cnsued, and then Marie
came tripping up stairs. but her face wore
a determined, satisfied look. She asked
for powder and ball, to reload, which were
furnished but before she finished loading,
footsteps were heard retreating from the
house.
No one slept in the house that night, nor
were they again molestcl. But at carly
dawn, on going down stairs, Il pool of blood
on the hall floor showed that one robber ut
least had been seriously, if not mortally
wounded. And it W plain to see by the
bloody path in the rth that the victim
had been dragged to the river Gore mark
ed the whole distance. and the police were
at once put on the alert for the arrest of the
living thieves and the recovery of the body
of the dead one.
But all efforts proved vain, and the BRAY
cry of the young girl was discussed far and
near.
The grateful bachelors were so over
powered, that they offered to give Marie a
dover.
"Ah. monsieur" replied she, affection
atcly. chow can | leave you? You may
again be attacked by robbers.
But we will not, nevertheless, stand be-
tween you and happiness" they replied.

The dover and the house.
Years passed, and recently the real facts
Of this midnight robbery came to light.
Both of the old bachelors We're dead, and
had willed Marie another thirty thousand
francs. The brave girl did not refuse it.
1t turned out however, that the robbers
were not plural. IIear acted the burglar,
the blood was from q la,ub killed for the
purpose, and the whole was but a rusc of
the two lovers to open the hearts and
purses of the two old misers.
