Care of Hogs.

Mr. S. B. Tinsley, of Howard county, No.,
drove through the streets of st. Louis few
DAYS ago, the finest lot of fattened hays we
have seen this year. They were largely of
the Berkshire breed; but Mr.. Tinsley favors
cross between the Berkshire and Poland
China, and is breeding that way.
Although Mr.. Tinsley has fattened of his
own raising some four hundred head, and Of
those he has bought some two hundred head
besides, yet he has lost no hogs by cholera or
other disease. He found his hogs threatened
with the disease, and he was pretty badly
frightened, but he commenced hauling ashes
into bis lots, and went over to Bonneville and
bought fifty pounds of mandrake root, pulver-
liked and scattered one-half of it over the ASH
es at one time, and the other half at another
time, which physicked his hogs considerably.
He says he hauled some three hundred bush
els of agnes to his hogs this Fall, which they
devowered. He also supplied them with salt
and sulphur, mixed with ashes, and got them
through without the loss of a hog, while some
of his neghbors, who did not use these pre-
cautions, lost all they had.
We think Mr.. Tinsley gave the very best
treatment that could have been given. The
pulverized mandrake root acted upon the
livers of the hogs and the avidity with which
they ate the salt and ashes, shows that they
were needed by them; and the heathful quail
tiles of these articles are well known.-Rural

POETRY.
The Ingenue.

In a robe of the whitest white muslin,
Blue-ribboned and deity belaced,
With piquancy perfectly puzzling,
And fairly bewiderng waist;
Flesh fints as of soft eggshell china,
And eyes of forget-me-not blue,
With voice in the plaintivest minor
Such was she, my sweet IDgenue.
1 sat in the stalls and adored her,
Three nights in the week for a year;
And gaZed till saw that bored her,
And the orchestra fancied me queer.
And sent her bouquets of sweet odor,
Each rarest, most delicate toy;
Stood the boxkeeper brandy and soda,
And called the hall porter ''dear boy,"
Long longed to express my affection,
And give my fond feelings full vent,
But stihed my strong prediction,
ana hid all my deep discomfort.
But the hours, oh! the hours seemed eternal,
Till read "For her own benefit
The programme contained in each journal
Miss Ingenue Bryghte will submit"
Then called, though my holiness alarmed me,
And saw her sweet face, calm and fair;
Sweeter far than the ros e-tints that charmed me,
An ivory palior was there.
And the dear tiny foot, slim and slender
Peeped out from the folds of her dress
And each charm that kind nature could lend her
Enhanced her rare womanliness,
And told her my errand with trembling,
Twelve stalls and box for her night;
And she said without any assembling,
She was sure that she knew me by sight,"
Then sank on my knees by the table,
And said, "Oh, one woman in life,
Or love me- or not, as you're able.
But promise me you'll be my wife!"
But she answered in voice soft and thrilling,
Oh, that loved immemorable tone!
Though her words were SO firm and so chilling
1 scarcely could deem them her own
"Don't think that l haven't reason,
Or trample your honest love down;
But you see at the end of the season,
I'm going to marry the clown"

Waste of Land.

1T farm of $50 acres is divided by fences in
to fields of 10 acres each, there are miles of
fences. If each fence now is one rod wide, no
less than 10 acres of land are occupied by them.
This is equal to and IA per cent. of the farm,
and the loss of the use of the land is exactly
equal to charge of and IA per cent on the
whole value of the farm. But nearly every
fence row in the country is made nursery of
weeds, which stock the whole farm, and make
an immense amount of labor necessary to keep
them from smothering the crops Much dam
age always results to the crop from these
weeds, and if these expenses are added to the
first one, the whole will easily sum up to 20 per
cent, or a tax of one-ffth of the value of the
farm. To remedy this we would have fewer
fences, or we would clean and SOW down the
fence rows to grass or clover, and NOW them
twice year. Ten acres of clover or timothy
would at least supply a farm with seed and a
few tons of hay every year. We would in
short consider the fence rows as valuable part
of the farm and use them as such.-American

How to Get Eggs i'm Winter.

We will not say that the farmer who leaves
his poultry to roost in the apple tree at the
corner of the barn, and to pick up their living
at the pigs trough and in the barnyard, may
not occasionly get an egg in winter But as
matter OF fact there is on most farms
great dearth of eggs from November toMarch.
With warm shelter, and suitable feed, pull
lets that begin to lay in the fall will continue
70 lay through the winter. 1t is mainly a
question of feed. The staple feed is Indian
corn, because it is the most plentiful and the
most convenient. 1t furnishes plenty of fat,
and keeps up the heat of the fowls, but is
poor in albumen and phosphates. They want
variety of grains and vegetables, and, to do
their best, one feed daily of warm cooked
meal and vegetables. Most farmers have
milk, and if this can be had, it will be all they
need. Butchers scrap cake is good, and may
safely be kept in the poultry yard where the
fowls can help themselves at pleasure. Boiled
potatoes or turnips, mashed and mixed with
Indian meal. makes an excellent feed for lay
ing hens. Fowls are particularly fond of cab
bages and turnips at all stages of their growth,
and eat them raw greedily every day, il they
can get them. We have found so good results
from feeding cabbages to laying hens, that we
always lay in a large supply Of them for win
ter. Refuse from the butchers, and offal
from the fish market, also furnish good ma
terial for making eggs. These are accessible
to most villages, and can be had at small cost.
A hen is only machine for producing eggs.
If you want the finished prodtct you must
put the raw material into the hopper. 1t
should not be forgotten that there is liberal
grinding going on in the gizzard, and the lay
ing bird should have freei access to gravel with
sharp grit, broken oyster and clam shells,
winch assist in reducing the grains and form
ing egg-shells. With a PLENTIFUL supply of
egg-produelng food, hens will lay well in
winter, Wnen eggs bring the highest price,

COlOriuQ Cheese.

The preference for colored cheese is one of
the strangest commercial infatuations we are
acquainted with. These Yorkshire people,
shrewd as foxes in things generally. have no.
ton that plain cheese is not genuine for some
reason or other, that it is not so rich as the
other, whereas it is really the colored cheese
that is not genuine-that is actually adulterat-
ed with annotto to produce the deep tint which
they unwisely prefer. If these good people
were to taste just teaspoonful of annotto.
such as is used to color cheese with, we ven-
ture to predict that they would eschew colored
cheese for the future. However, this fallacy
is gradually being extingushed. Ag-

sawdust for Kidding.

My experience with sawdust is that it is the
best bedding to be had for horses or cattle; it
is better than straw IN many respects. 1t is a
much better absorbent than any kind of straw,
and upon general principles, it is much clean
er. For paving horse it is better inasmuch
as he displaces the bedding only where the foot
touches the floor of the stall, while straw being
long, is displaced generally by the act of paw
ing. tits better manure than straw-strong-
er, more readily assmiiated and mixed, and
lasts much longer in the ground. have been
for some time using planning chips, which are
much coarser than any kind of sawdust I
find them very good indeed; easier to manage
and much cheaper than straw. One very i'm
portant item in favor of sawdust is noticed
where one has foul feeder. gutton, one
which eats up all the bedding within reach, and
any other filth be can get hold of. I am top
dressing my clover with this chip manure as it
comes from the stable, Of course the dryer
sawdust the more moisture it will absorb

GLOSSY Starch.

Take two ounces of white arabic powder,
put it into pitcher, and pour on it a pint Of
boiling water, according to the degree of
strength you desire, and then, having covered
it, let it stand all night. III the morning
pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean
bottle, and keepit for use. A tablespoonful
OF gum-water stirred into pint of starch
made in the usual manner will give lawns,
either black or printed, look of newness
when nothing else can restore them after
washing. 1t is also good, much diluted, for

Brittle Feet.

Some horses have such brittle feet that If is
difficult to keep their shoes on. This is often
caused by change from excessive and long
continued wetness to extreme dryness. The
best treatment is to rub the soles and shells
of the feet with mixture composed of the
following: Tar, two parts; beef suet, two
parts; whale oil, four parts; bees-wax and
honey, one part each; melt over slow fire
and mix well.-Land and Water.

Situation and Soil for a Garden.

The most suitable situation is a very gen.
tie inclination towards the east or southeast,
that it may have all the advantages of the
morning sun. ALI good gardeners take pride
In having early crops and this inclination in
sures an early maturity of the vegetable. A
north western aspect is 10 be avoided, as our
worst storms are from that direction. A
northwestern exposure, though cold and
late, is less liable to injury from late and ear
ly frosts, as vegetation in such situation Is
sheltered somewhat from the rising sun, and
does not suffer so rnuch if it becomes slightly
frozen. 1t is not this frost that Injuries the
plants so much as the direct heat of the sun
falling upon the frozen leaves and blossoms.
Cabbage, caulifiower, spinach, lettuce and
other salads, are mnch more easily brought
to perfection in northern exposure. Many
OF these, in the more southern climates, run
up TO seed Immediately if exposed to the full
sun. The soil, too, is usually richer, and will
retain its fertility longer, other things being
equal, in northern, exposure. It is great
advantage, if the garden slope at all, to have
1t slope in more than one direction, giving
choice of exposure, and generally also of soil,
as it is thus adapted to both late and
early crops. When the drainage is good a
level is not undesirable, but whatever the sit,
uation or aspect, the surface must be smooth
and level. Care should be taken that the
rroductiveness of the garden be not dimin-
ished by the proximity of large .rees, which
are injurious by their drip 10 all plants be-
meath them. and by their shade AID extend
ed roots to those more remote.
In selecting the grounds it is Of the ut
most Importance to have the soil of heal
thy quality, being mellow, dry, and capable
of being worked with spade. The best soils
are of friable and loamy texture; the worst,
those of a light, sandy, or stiff, clayey de-
scription. In garden designed for the cul-
tivation of variety of plants both sand and
clay soils are desirable. But the best soil Tor
general purposes is loan of medium text
ure, arising from suitable admixtu7e of the
two, as they reciprocally correct the defects
of each other, and with the addition OF Or
ganic matter, form soil suited to the Gull
tivation OF nearly all garden productions.
Any soil, with judicious culture, draining
and manures, can be converted into such
