Last April a pair of young horses ran
away iE Green, Rhode Island, with the neck
yoke hanging between them. No one could
find them. The other day their skeletons
were found in wood seven miles from
where they started. Their bones, harness

fast in the brush, and had starved after eat

flesh, grass, grain and fruit, and when at
liberty to choose will devour them all at a
meal. Hogs will always be more healthy
and gain better when they have q variety
of food. In the East apples, potatoes,
roots and sometimes fish are fed to hogs,
and it is we'll known that diseases peculiar
to hogs are fewer there than in the West,
where they receive little but corn to eat.
II is said that the best-flavored pork in the
world is found in Germany, where great
variety of food is fed to hogs.
Hogs at all ages are fond of food that
contains sulphur. 1t is doubtless for the
sulphur it contains that hogs eat soft coal,
and they appear to thrive on it. They are
also very fond of mustard, which contains
a good deal of sulphur. As this plant is
very easily raised, producing as much
feed as almost any plant that grows, there
would seem to be economy in raising it
for hogs. 1t may be said that it is more
economical to buy the sulphur in con-
centrated form, but it should be remem-
bered that pure sulphur is not in form
to be readily taken up by the system,
while that contained in mustard and other
plants is readily assimilated-Rural Neao

Really skillful physicians are not SO numer-

hence the advertisement of DR.. r. V. Pierce,

What disease Have

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, heavy load
on the stomach after eating, faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit Of the stomach that food
does not satisfy, 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 nerv-
Gus system and evil forebodings, and with a
tired weakness that sleep don't relieve, 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 efecting cure.
The fact is that these symptoms Indicate
that all of these diseases ale present to-
gether, 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 (not a patent medicine). Sold

Wild Fowl Pie. The fowl should be
trussed like duck for a pie, larded with
anchovies, and seasoned with pepper, salt
and sweet herbs; put good quantity OF
butter into the pie, and flush like all
others.
Boiled Goldfish Tie the fish several
times over with string, lay it in cold
water plentifully sailed, and let it boil
gently, carefully skimming; when done
lift it up and let it drain, then serve. An

three minutes after the water comes to
boiling point.
Orange Cake.-One cup of sugar,
half cup of butter, two cups of flour,
half a cup of sweet milk, teaspoonful of
baking powder sifted with the flour. Rub
the butter and sugar to a cream, and the
eggs, the whites and yolks beaten sepa-

your readers to use coal oil or spirits OF

one. Pour the coal oil on the stockings
over the affected part, and pour some also
into the boots or shoes, soaking the feet

twice, and this is all that it is necessary to
do. The cure is both certain and speedy.
