f1Gs.-There are several breeds Of
hogs which will fatten at eight or ten
months old and weigh from two hun
dred to three hundred pounds. II
black pigs are preferred, the Essex
will make two hundred pounds OF
pork at the age specified. The Berk-
shire, nearly black, will bring the
scales down at a heavier weight.
Among the white breeds, the Suffolk
will offset the Essex, and the Nlcto-
rias the Berkshire. We are not aware
that either of these breeds are called
by any other names. The Essex
Berkshire and Suffolk are English
breeds, while the Victorias are Amer
lean, and have been made by judi
eious crossing and selection, just as
all breeds of fine animals have been
produced.

Coal ASHES AS MANURE.-Coal
ashes consist mainly Of silica and
alumina. They contain very little
phosphoric acid and potash, and but
little if any nitrogen. They are gem
crafty regarded as possessing no
value as manure, partly because they
contain so little Of the kind Of plant
food that is most necessary in a ma
nure, and partly because what little
they do contain is mostly m an in
soluable fern, and therefore not
readily assimilable. Prof. Slower, Of
the Bussey Institute has recently per
formed some experiments to test the
value of coal ashes for manure, by
comparing them with ordinary pit
sand. Buckwheat, maize, and rye
were grown in several pots, filled
either with sand or with ashes,
enough nitrogen compounds being
added in all cases to supply the de-
fciency in this respect. No impor-
tant difference was to be observed in
the amount of plant growth IN the
two kinds of soil, from which it may
be inferred that the two substances
have about the same manurial value.
Some kinds Of ashes from soft coal
have been found to be quite rich in
sulphate of lime, or plaster, and have
produced marked effect on clover
when used in the same manner as
plaster; but such a result could not
often be expected.

AGRICULTURAL.
THE ENGLISH SPARRO ".

THERE is wide difference in opln-
ion as to the habits of this little bird,
some claiming that they do moro IN
Jury to grain and fruit than is count
erbalanced by their untiring energy
as insect destroyers. The editor OF
he GARDENERS MONTHLY, takes
ground in favor Of encouraging the
srarrow, as follows: "The English
sparrow eats insects and grain. 1t is
not especially a fruit anter. The
stories about its destroying fruit buds
in England are wrong. 1t is the bull
finch which does this, and it is the
English blackbird and thrush, and
not the sparrow, which worry the
fruit crops. Our climate is too cold
for the sparrow to spread much to our
grain growing and fruit districts.
Our hardest native birds cannot stand
it. 1t can only get through by the
aid of the crumbs from man and ami
mails, and the shelter of the ornament
al evergreens on his grounds. We
may say, in brief, that our belief is
that the English sparrow will never
be serious enemy to the American
farmer or fruit-grower; on the other
hand, it has many good traits, and we
endorse its introduction to all large
towns

FERMENTED FooD. - Fermentlng
food is not as good as cooking for
rigs or cattle. It is an unusual prac-
tice to lerment food for cattle, and
we are confident they would not
thrive on it. We knew a whole pen
full Of pigs poisoned, many Of them
dying, by allowing their food TO fer,
ment too much. Cooking food and
feeding it fresh will not have any
such deleterious effects. The adyan-
tage of cooking food is because when
cooked there is a more perfect assim-
ilation in the stomach. Fermenta-
ton to the first degree-sourness-
undoubtedly is an aid to digestion
with piss, but for cattle we would
either cook Tie feed or give it to
ileU raw.

General Custer was promoted at one bound

entirely unexpected. Custer had. however.
