people we're at the polls, and but fifteen or

Wells and felled him senseless to the ground.

LIME FOR HENs,-Lims is as necessary
for the formation of the eggs as is food
The required amount of lime is readily OBJ
tanned by fowls in wild state, az but little is
wanted when one or two sittings of eggs a
year is the limit of their efforts But when
We, by domestication, increase the number of
eggs from score to one or two hundred, it
will readily be seen that the fowls cannot OBJ
tain the needed quantity of lime from their
ordinary food; consequently we must supply
the deficiency, for soft-shelled eggs; or eggs
without any shells, will be the result of neg
lsct in this respect, which may lead to the
habit of hens devouring their eggs, to say
nothing of their uppresentable appearance if
they escape. A supply of lime is easily aud
eheaply furnished by burning and crushing
bones and oyster or clam shells; nor should
old mortar be forgotten, because this is so
readily procured, though not SO good as bones
or shells. The supply should be generous
and constant, and at all times accessible to tho
fowls. A small piece of lime in their drink.
ing water is advisable in some instances.

HE'D AHD FIRESIDE.
Hog Cholera.

A correspondent of the Country Gentlemaa,
Writisg from Franklin, Tennessee, says:
Your Illinois correspondent has discovered
that hogs fed from the dish water and slup
OF hotels are not liable to cholera will try
and explain this to him and he and many of
your other readers may understand and profit
by my experience on it. II is understood
that much soap is used in washing dishes, aud
it is this, fed to the pigs, that cleans them of
piD>worms, and keeps them healthy. This is
also an answer and remedy for the inquirer
who asked for a remedy for getting rid of the
worms in his pigs. My attention was called
to this soap remedy by my manager 20 years
ago, and Immediately adopted it, and have
kept II up to this day, and have no recollec>
tion of ever having lost hog by cholera or
worms since, and l usually put up from TO-
600 to $4,000 pounds of pork every year
Ny attention was called to the effect of the
soap the next day after it was fed to apparent
ly thrifty hogs, aud innumerable pin worms
were seen to have been expelled by the soap.
/ make a standing rule to give my hogs good
deal of soap once week, put on the feed of
corn for them, aud 1 have always thrifty
stock of hogs. My wife makes up from l 500
TO 1000 lbs. of soap every spring, and this
furnishes an abundance for all purposes
Hence I assert that the virtue of the hotel
Stops is the soap therein contained. 1 assume
the cause of the disease complained of ia
worms, which may appear in the best herd of
