Denounced from the Pulpit.

A sensational episode occurred in the
Baptist Church at New Haven, Conn.,,
last Saturday, which is attended by the
members of the Winchester family,
whose large works for the manufacture
of arms are located in that city. The
company has an extensive contract for
supplying the Turkish army with repeat
ing rifles, which are now rapidly manu-
factured for shipment to Constantlnople.
Last Sunday, several members of the
family beng in attendanceatth the services,
the officiating minister took for his sub
iect the war troubles in the East. Re
citing the stories touching the barbarous
treatment of the Bulgarian Christians by
the Turks, the preacher denounced the
Turkish people, and gave his opinion
that all Christian people should unite in
behalf Of the persecuted brethren in
their struggle for religious and political
liberty. Then he referred to the fact OF
the Turkish contract with the Winches-
ter mandatory, and said that keep
ing house Of prostitution was respect
able occupation compared to furnishing
arms which would be used for the mas
sacre of Christians.
Those of the Winchester family WHO
were present were naturally outraged py
this direct allusion TO them from the
pulpit. and there is much feeling IN
New Haven on the subject-New fo'H
! World.

Fish Culture In Iowa.

Our friends at the west are alive to the
Importance of fish culture In Iowa, &C.
cording to the Western Farm journal, Fish
Commissioner Shaw is actively at work pro-
curing and distributing fish for the purpose
of Restocking the lakes and streams Of Iowa.
lie has recently been on trip down the
Mississippi river in small steamer, seining
fish for this purpose. Starting from near
the north line of the state, aud going as far
south as Burlington, the party have secured
large number Of black, striped and yell
low bass wall'eyed pike sometimes called
salmon, though erroneously), croppies sunish
and perch-these being the only varieties
worthy Of preservation. Occasionally fine
"silver cat is saved, but the common cat
fish, buffalo and other varieties are returned
to the river as soon as captured, while the
pickorel-which is the shark of fresh water
is destroyed when captured as fish not
fit to exist. The fish thus captured are
loaded into the state fish car at all conven.
lent points and shipped inland, when they
are distributed among the lakes aud streams.
The car used for the transportation of fish
is a unique conveyance built expressly for
/ Nllc HullOoC DuGh Ohu oupGlNlsiOu'
1t is supplied with a series of tanks for
holding the fish, and a large reservoir hold
| ing twenty barrels of water. Pipes with
strainers are SO arranged that the water is
kept constantly moving through the tanks
so that the fish are continually supplied with
fresh water which passes out under the car
as the latter moves along. In cases Of long
distances to be travelled, when the reservoir
cannot be easily replenished from the rail-
road water tanks, the supply is not allowed
to waste, but is returned to the reservoir
above.
OF their operations during the present
| year, we learn that of the amount (SS,750)
appropriated by the last legislature, for the
purpose OF aiding this work, the commission
ers have invested $4,000 in the state hatch
ing house at Anamosa, which is model in
its arrangements and appointments. In ad-
dition, 100000 salmon have been imported
from the east and placed in every inland
stream Of any size in the state. This year,
also, 100000 eels have been procured and
liberated in those streams. The introduce
tion Of shad has also been attempted, but not
with the success attending the importation of
salmon and trout, as the shad are fleet OF
foot" and may make their way to the gulf
and ocean as fast as imported. OF these,
100000 have been placed in Iowa rivers,
and in the Mississippi and Missouri. In the
north part of the state, trout are native and
are caught in abundance.
Commissioner Shaw states that more fish
have been taken from the waters of Iowa,
during the last year. than he has known be-
fore in eighteen years of residence in the
state.

pound of supcrphosphatc of lime. We give
the result in their own language: IA
trough containing this mineral mixture was
put into the pens at she commencement Of
the second fortnight and the pigs soon be-.
gan to lick it with evident delight. From
this time the swellings or tumors, as we'll as
the difficulty in breathing, which probably
arose from the pressure Of the former began
to diminish rapidly. Indeed at the end of
this second fortnight the swelings were very
mnch reduced and at the end of the third
fortnight they had disappeared entirely.
Three pigs consumed of the above mineral
mixture nine pounds during the FIRST fort.
night, six pounds during the second and nina
pounds during the third
A very obvious conclusion from the above
experiment is that Indian meal should not
constitute the only food OF pigs. Very pos.
sibly, had Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert com.
menced feeding Indian meal gradually the
same bad results would not have followed,
for 1t is a wel-known principle of the ami
NAL economy that the system can become
gradually adapted to almost anything, even
TO poisons, so as not to be very manifestly
injured. Thus, men by taking small doses
OF arsenic, tobacco, or any other poison,
finally become so accustomed to them that
habitual and large doses affect them but lit
tie. 1t does not follow, however, that poison
is innocuous, or that one kind Of food is the
most effective mode of producing growth or
fat. Messrs. Lawcs and Gilbert made some
experiments on this point which were decid.
edly in favor of mixed diet. Three pigs fed
on mixture of one part bran, two parts pea
meal and three parts barley meal made a
gain Of three hundred and ten pounds in
eight weeks. One hundred pounds of this
mixture made an increase Of twenty pounds
in the weight Of the pigs.
The general, and probably the most impor.
tant, conclusion which these gentleman de-
duced from their extensive and thorough ex.
periments was this, at is very evident that
the success Of a pig.leeder will depend much
more on good judgment in selecting, or on
care in feeding, the pigs he intends to fatten
than on the particular kind Of grain given
to them"
One more suggestion and we are done
Feed regularly, and no more than the pig:
will eat. We have known some farmers tC
be in the habit Of throwing in to their fat
ting hogs few ears of corn number o
times day, just as they happened to 20 by
the pens. Now, the hog is a lazy animal
and to disturb his dreams in this way i,
wasting corn. The tat hog loses more than
he gains by waking up and with great effort
stirring himself to eat this corn. If he i,
accustomed to be fed three times day, anC
at stated periods, he will sleep during the
intervals, and waste no energy in moving oil
squeaIng, aud as to the amount fed, the
Shakers have a rule for themselves and
guests which is equally applicable to hogs.
Take no more ou your plate than you car
eat. Every man is expected to clean his
plate and leave no mush." What hogs and
hoggish men leave is generally "mush."

Cooking The Fodder For Dairy Stock,
HENRY CLARK, Secretary.

A correspondent writes us that he has
been advised 10 adopt the practice of cook.
ing food for his dairy stock the coming win
ter. lie desires to know "if there are any
objections that have been urged against the
practice, and if so, what they are"
While the cooking Of food for stock has
been warmly urged by various writers in this
country for number Of years past, the prac-
tlce does not seem to bs received with spec-
ial favor by farmers, or at least it has not
spread to the extent that we should naturally
suppose it would ifal the advantages claimed
for such feeding can be relied upon. What
seems most remarkable in connection with
this practice is that it has never found gen.
eral favor in England, where cattle foods
are comparatively dear, aud where the econ
omy OF feeding is made a study by scientific
aud practical minds The English feeder
prefers to cut his straw and coarse fodder
into chaif, miugng with it pulped turnips
aud allowing the mass to slightly lerment be-
fore feeding 1t is stated by English author
tiles that cooked food is liable to induce va.
llous diseases in young stock, heiers being
attacked with black.leg, blaek.quarter,
speed, etc., while older cattle suffer from
sPenetic apoPlexy, sheep from broxy, aud
horses from albuminous nephrites, particu-
larly when cooked food has been given
These states of fatal disease arise from the
amount absorbed, which constitutes blood
poison. 1t is said "that IN no place do We
find these conditions 30 common as where
cooked food is given aud collateral states oil
neglect aud mismanagcment occur The
chief argument against the employment o.
cooked food as au exclusive diet may b'
presented as follows;

HOG CHoLERA.-Mr. j. q. Egelston of
Olathe, Kansas, writes to Coman's Rural
World that after repeated and careful post
mortem examinations, he is convinced that
the disease called hog cholera is caused by
inpumerabe, small hair-like worms (para.
sites entozOa) of reddish brown color, one
and a half to two inches long, adherent to
the inner surface Of the bronchial tube and
air cells of the lungs. The editor of the
Rural states in the same issue the opinion
that the disease is some sort of malarial
fever, and can be cured by quinine, "as it
does with mankind" lie advises separating
infected hogs from healthy ones, giving warm
quarters,dry beds, and pound Of copperas a
day, dissolved in water or slOps, to twenty
five or thirty hogs. Salt, charcoal and
stone coal are preventives. Remove the
hogs to different part of the farm.

Feeding Pigs.
Mr.. Alexander Hyde has in the New
York Times the following on feeding pigs.

Mr. Alexander Hyde has in the New
York Times the following on feeding pigs.
A clean, warm bed is almost as essential
for pork production as good food. Sunshine
and good ventilation are also requisites
Whoever has seen a hog taking his comfort
while basking in the sun, il he has any SYM
pathy with porkers, will not deprive them of
this privilege, which is as conducive to their
health as to their comfort.
After comfortable and healthy quarters
have been provided for the swinish family,
the next thing is to furnish them with nutri.
tious food. This should be adapted to their
age. When young aud growing there Is
nothing like milk. When first taken from
the SOW they should have for a few days
pure cows milk. After that SKINNED milk
will keep them thriving nicely. The skim
ming has only taken out the oil, the carbon
aceous matter, which tends TO make fat, and
this is not wanted IN young pigs. What We
do want is something to make them grow, to
make bones aud muscles, aud skinned milk
has all the essentials for these purposes
After while mix little bran with the
milk. Bran abounds with the salts which
build up the framework Of an animal. As
growth is secured, add potatoes, grass, cab
bage, beans aud other vegetable food. The
fattng is best done with corn meal, but it is
worse than waste Of this grain to feed it ex'
clusively or even abundantly to young grow
ing pigs. la Lawes' and Gilberts cele'
brated experiments iu fattenng pork it was
| found that the actual increase from the food
consumed was in favor Of Indian meal, fol
though the pigs grew and ia ttened faster OF
peas than on corn, il was because they were
capable Of eating more peas than corn. Ono
hundred pounds Of pea meal produced twenty
pounds of pork, and a hundred pounds o
Indian meal produced twenty aud three
tenths pounds 1t is worthy Of notice thai
10 the pen where only Indian meal was used
while the gain in weight was rapld-ove
two pounds per day-belOre the end Of tn,
first fortnight these fast gaining pigs haC
large swelings on the sides Of their neck
aud their breathing had become abored
They were evidently in scroiulous condi
tion. at Is obvious" say Messrs Lave
aud Gilbert, "that the Indian corn mea
alone was defective diet, aud it occsrre'
to us that it was comparatively poor both II
nitrogen aud in mineral natter Suspect
ing that the deficiency was in the latte
rather than the former, they determined T.
continue the same feeding, but to try tn
effect Of putting within reach of the pig
some mineral substances Of which they coul'
partake as they felt disposed, According,
they placed in a side trough the following
mixture Twenty pounds 6uely s'tted Goa
ashes, four pounds common salt and on
