Best Food for Swine,

What would be considered the best
food for swine in summer would not an
swer the same purpose in winter. In
summer such food should be given as
would keep the animal in an improving
condition and would cause it to Law on a
little fat, but not so much as to cause il
to suffer from the heat, as a fat porker
undoubtedly does. Cooling foods, such
as plenty of young clover and bran and
middlings, is what we use much of, not
forgetting to give regular and abundant
supplies of fresh, cool water. In putting
up swine for exhibition purposes we have
tried many different kinds of food for the
fall exhibitions, but have found none so
desirable as slop made of corn and oats
ground together, one third of the former,
by measure, to two-thirds of the latter,
One of the best ways TO prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning
put on the mass only enough hot water TO
thoroughly moisten it, and then cover ND
the barrel tight, so as it can steam well
and make the mass mellow and nice nv
morning. If it is found undesirable TO
scald it, moisten the mass with water and
then put in one or more pans of sour milk
thick milk or clabber-to cause it to
sour by the time it is used. We use both
or either plan, and find them both good
AS an ordinary summer feed VIC have
found this food to answer almost all pur.
poses, though We do not feed so bigb as
when feeding the animals for exhibition
purposes, as experience has abundantly
proved that the breeding stock should not
be very fat, only in healthy growing
condition, TO insure healthy, vigorous
offspring. The refuse from the truck
patches, such as tomatoes, cabbage, ETC.,

A Wolf BOy.

Hon. ]. NJ. FRANCIS, Of the Troy Press
while at Agra, in India, saw at the Church
Orphanage aperson known as :" the vol
boy" He is now about twenty years old
"The wolf boy" was taken away from &
wolf-captured in olf'sden at Bulands
hahar, about eighty miles from here in the
interior-twelve years ago. He was then
fully eight years old, was found in com.
pany with the wolf and walking upon all
fours, and the animal evidently recOg,
nized and protected him as one of her
own progeny. No doubt the boy had
been stolen and carried off by the vol
when an infant, and was fed, cared for
and brought up in the wolfish way by his
adopted mother. The boy is named
Saturday," that being the day he was
rescued from the wild animals den AT
first raw meat was the food he most
relished; he was quite wild and intract-
able. Gradually he was tanned, trained to
walk properly, and subjected to other
necessary usages of human civilized life
But, beyond the expression of a very few
words. language could not be impaired to
him. He is evidently halfidiotic, though
he understands commands addressed to
him. and makes known his own wants by
CALCULATIONS and signs. He makes his
salaams to strangers, and enjoys attcn-
tons paid to him. He has a by no means
unpleasant face, and there is not mark
of the beast about him except in the scar
prints of his mother wolf, which lie
points out upon his cheek. The case is a
curious one, and attracted not little at
tention at the time throughout the world.
1t was then supposed he possessed capaci-
ty for improvement and education, but
the efforts of years to teach him have met
with very little success

The Virtue OF Plenty OF Sleep.

A MEDICAL friend says: Zone man
may do with less sleep than another; but
as general rule, if you want clerk, a
lieutenant, lawyer, physician, a legis-
lator, a judge, president, or a pastor, dc
not trust your interests to any man who
does not take on the average eight good
solid hours sleep out of the twenty four
Whatever may be the reason for it, if he
does not give himself that, he will snap
some time just when you want him to be
strong
Good, sweet, sound sleep, "Airy-light
from pure digestion bred,' is natures
true eye opener, and for physical vigor is
the only sure tonic and preparation. Those
who pay court to Somnus are seldom
found in the halls of Bacchus. Glowing
cheeks and ambrosial locks are the gifts
of Hebe to those who love an early pillow.
To-morrow's labors demand the vigorous
life which comes from solid forgetfulness
and the dreamiest inactivity. Good sleep
cures sleepiness and sleepy medicines.
Take your fill of the pure article, unadul-
terated with choral, or any OF the quiet
ing drugs distilled from poppy or man
dragora, or all the drowsy sirups of the
world.-Ne,o England J0urna! Of Educa-

Applying Manures.

BY series of experiments made some
years ago, in England, it was shown that
barnyard manures benefited crops most
the first season, when covered about two
inches deep with soil. This result appears
reasonable, but the question is, how can
farmers place their manures in the ground
at this depth? 1t is not practicable ia any
case, but they can approximate to it in
some cases. When manure is plowcd I'M
der in the ordinary way, some of it is GOV.
cred too deep to benefit the crop the same
season, and it is made available if the
land be plowed the second year. Some
farmers pillow their land, then spread on
the manure and harrow it in, but much of
it is left upon the surface, and is partially
lost, as the ammonia that goes off in the
atmosphere is the virtue of the manure
itself.
1t is strange that we should find intel.
ligcnt farmers, at this late day in agricul-
tural progress, who deny that barnyard
manure can be injured by exposure to the
air and sun; yet they do. exist! A few
years ago farmer in Central New York
wrote several articles for publication, in
which he attempted to prove that when
manure lies upon the surface Of the land
and dries up, its fertility is still in it,
concentrated in the small crusts that re-
main!
Farmers, let me caution you against the
folly of carting your manures upon your
field and spreading them for Il week or
longer before you pillow them under. Ii
this be done in the spring, with warm
sun and high, drying winds, large por-
ton of them, or, rather, of their fertility,
will pass off in the atmosphere. Don't
be deceived in this matter while your oil
factory nerves bear pungent evidence of
the truth of what say. You cannot
afford to work your farms on this wasting
principle. Manure is money, and if one
should see you scattering greenbacks"
over the field, on some windy day, the
evidence of your insanity would be but a
little more tangible than when you spread
your manures and leave them to evaporate
in the sun and by the Winds H." in

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women,

BY r. V. PIERCE NJ D., Of the Worlds Dispen-
sare, Buffalo. n. Y. Author Of The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" etc, etc.
Knowing that you are subject to a great
amount Of suffering, that dclicacy on your
part has strong tendency to prOlOng it, and
the longer ii is neglected the more you have
to endure and the more difficult of cure your
case becomes, |, as physician, who am
daily consulted by scores of your sex, desire
to say to you, that am constantly meeting
with those who have been treated for their
ailments for months without being benefited
in the least, until they have become perfect
ly discouraged and have almost made up
their mind never to take another dose of
medicine, or be tortured by any further
treatment. They had rather die and have
their sutfcrings ended than to live and suffer
as they have. They say they. are worn out
by suffering, and are only made worse by
treatment. OF anything more discouraging,
we certainly cannot conceive, and were there
no more successful mode of treating such
difficulties than that, the principles of which
teach the reducing and depicting Of the vital
forces OF the system, when the indications
dictate a treatment directly the reverse of
the one adopted for them, their case would
he dcplnrahlc indeed. But, lady sufferers,
there is better and far more successful
plan of treatment for you; one more in har-
mony with the laws and requirements of
your system. 4 harsh, irritating caustic
cure you. If you would use rational means,
such as cOmmon-Scnsc should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines
as cmbody the very best invigorating tonics
and ncrvincs compounded with special ref
erencc to your delicate system. Such a hap
Ply combination you will find in my Favorite
Prescription, which has received the highest
praise from thousands of your sex. Those
langud, tirCSomc sensations, causing YOU to
feel scarcely able to be on your feet or as
cCnd Il flight of stairs; that continual drain
that is sapping from your system all your
former elasticity, and driving the bloom from
your checks; that continual strain upon
your vital forces that renders you irritable
and fretful-may all be overcome and sub
dued by pcrscvering use of that marvellous
remedy. Irregularities and distractions to
the proper working of your system are re-
licvcd by this mild and safe means, while
periodical pains, the existence of which is a
sure indication of serious disease that should
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and if
its use be kept up fora reasonable length of
time, the special cause of these pains is per-
manently removed. Further light on these
subjects may be obtained from "The Peo-
pies Common Sense Medical Adviser" in

The Study of the English Language

ONE may well ask, "NVhat is the value
of an education that does not teach the
educated how to use their own language?"
Failing of that, it is not only lamentably
defective, it certainly falls short of what
should be its primary purpose.
Very few of our American schools land
the same is true of the British schools
appear to think study Of the English
tongue of any particular consequence.
True, they do not object to it; indeed,
they make it generally one of the branches
of the course, though, on the whole, it is
treated rather as incidental than essential.
In the public schools, mathematics is
usually chosen as the standard by which
to measure the capacity and progress of
the pupil, and a very inaccurate, not to
say false, standard it is for general capac-
ity or progress. The boy or girl who shows
a special aptitude for mathematics seldom
has an aptitude for any study not of an
abstract nature. He or she is apt TO pos
sess little imagination, slender apprecia-
ton of beauty, and marked indifference
to harmony or form. By such a pupil,
language is either disregarded or de-
spised; the graces are neglected, aud the
personal amenities disesteemed. AT the
end of the year, he who can demonstrate
with ease any theorem of Euclid, or who
has parabolas or asymptotes at his fingers
ends, is likely to be ignorant of history
and belles-lettre5 generally, and slow and
awkward of speech.
In our colleges, as everybody knows.
mathematics and Latin and Greek are
held to be all-important, and everything
else as nothing or rext TO nothing. 1t is
by no means uncommon tor youth TO
graduate with distinguished honors who
could not, for his soul, talk with ease
on any subject he might be familiar with.
What is the good of his knowledge Cf he
happen to have iD of calculus, of Greek
roots, of the quantity of Eschylus, of the
best passages of Livy and Lucretius, if he
cannot use his native tongue to advantage?
1t were far better for him to have such
use than to have his head stuffed with any
quantity of unavailable lore.
This is a practical age. Young men
do not earn their bread, nor rise to dis
tinction, by repeating the odes of Horace
or by calculating the binomial theorem.

THE standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ScHENcK's PULMONIc SYRUP, ScHENcK's
SEA WEED Tonic and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE
PILLS and If taken before the lungs are destroyed,
q speedy cure is effected
To these three medicines Dr. ]. Fl. Schenck, Of
Philadelphia owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pu1monic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver removing all distractions, relax the
allbladder. the bile starts freely and the liver is
soon relieved
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and aterative the alkai, of which it is composed,
mikes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion'by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition SO that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well If care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
eonaly or by letter. can do so at his principal Of
fee corner Of Sixth and ARCH SIS, Philadelphia,

What Disease Have II

How often do We hear this question asked
by persons suffering from dizziness and pain
In the head, with dull, stupid feeling, pain
in the side, back or shoulder, a heavy load
on the stomach after eating, a faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit of the stomach that food
does not satisfy, a cold, clammy feeling in
the hands and feet, with hot flashes at times,
bad taste in the mouth, with foul breath,
attended with great depression of the merry.
Gus system and evil forebodings, and with a
tired weakness that sleep don'trelieve, urine
scanty at times, with sediment after stand
ing. One physician calls the disease liver
complaint, another kidney disease, another
dyspepsia, and still another impurity of the
blood. But none succeed in effecting cure.
The fact is that these symptoms Indicate
mat all OF these diseases are present to-
gcther, and to remove these symptoms we
must take remedy that will act upon all of
these organs at once. The best article that
we know of is made by the Shakers, and is
called SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, OR CURA-
TIVE SYRUP mot patent medicine). Sold

Golden Trout.

J. NJ. HUTCHINGs writes to tie San
Francisco Post: While on a recent ex-
ploring ana Photographic trip among the
sublime scenery of the high Sierra, in
some laughing strcamlets of the Whitney
meadows and vicinity, at the head waters
Of the Kern River, and at an altitude of
9,700 feet above the sea, we discovered
these beautiful fish. Their bright sides
were flashing and fitting through the
water like jets Of fire. Then, collected in
shoals beneath projecting rock or bank,
they would light up those dark recesses
with their glittering sheen. Challenging
our admiration as they did, an effort was
needed to restrain our impatient eager
creatures men are sOmctimesD Our
camping ground selected and animals un-
packed, we set out TO capture some with
our hands! Spirit of Walton, forgive US
this dissertation of thine art. In the soli-
tude of these mountain Businesses these
attractive creatures had not yet learned
mans wiles, and must l confess it, in a
few minutes we had caught over fifty.
While adopting the more scientific
method of hook and line to supply our
camp, DR.. A. Kellogg, botanist and nat
uralist of the expedition, made drawing,
and the following notes: The golden and
orange banded trout of Kern and Kings
River. Description: Trout, four to eight
inches long; proportion thick, and motion
quiet. Ground color golden, lighter or
darker as they inhabt deeper, shadier or
shallower and SUMMER streamlets. Back
dark, with large black spots; broad
longitudinal band of orange, red along the
lateral line of mucus glands, from head 10
tail, mostly vanishing near the posterior
third, or final fin; transversely clouded
by ten large blotches. Belly, bright Or
ange from under the throat and opercular
fin, or respiratory gills, to back of dorsal
| fin, and tail beautifully black spotted /;
also, black bar running fore and aft
through the eye. All of the fins Except
the opercular) golden margined, with
white. Flesh, light salmon. Found in
shallow streams of the higher meadows
and ravines of Kern River, 5000 to 0,5OO
feet above the sea level, where they dis
appear.
To this may add that as each member
of our party of nine sat around the camp
fire, feasting on the sumptuous mountain
repast thus provided, the sentiment was
unanimously expressed that they were as
delicious in flavor as they were beautiful
in form and color. We were anxious to
bring some of them to civilization, but in
less than half mile of carriage seven of
them were dead, proving the experiment
impossible with the conveniences in our
possession. Let us, however, hope that
the eggs of these elegant and delicate trout
may be successfully secured for our
brooks and aquariums. DR.. Kellogg pre-
served few in brine, which, when dried,
were sent to the Academy of Sciences in
San Francisco; but, alas! on their arrival
all their bright colors had become "like
the baseless fabric of a vision.''
