Sensible Suggestions.

Do not let the idea that you know it all
get away with you. Don't try to make
your wife believe that you are great man,
because she will know better. Do not try
to make your children believe You are
saint. They will find you out. Acknowl-
edge that you are human, and establish a
bond Of sympathy with them. Tell them
not to lie, because you know lying to be
bad. Children are thinkers, and in their
quaint, quiet little way, sharp logicians.
Do not impose on them. DO not pick out
their destines for them. A child trained
contrary to its inolinations is not worth
three nothings. Do not try to direct their
minds into channels that are uncongenial to
them. When children ask questions you
cannot answer, honestly acknowledge your
ignorance. They will think far moro Of
you for it, and it is far preferable to have
them think you are ignorant than to catch
you in lie. Let us raise leaders instead
! of followers.

Care Of Breeding s0Ws.

Under the head of ''Talks with the Dea-
CON-" the American Cultivator publishes
an excellent series of articles from which
we take this advice upon the above topic
II would mix one pound of the bran and
meal with four quarts of water, and cook
thoroughly. This would give you food
coctaining about as much water as fresh
grass. Of this food the SOW might have all
she Will drink. I have known my sows
when sucking their pigs TO drink, for the
first six days, forty quarts each day; per-
haps thirty quarts per day is about the
average. If you have a little milk to give
with it, or greasy slops from the house, so
much the better. Your object is to feed
so as to enable the sow to give as much
milk as possible. If the SOW is inclined to
fatten | should make the food still more
sloppy, say five quarts Of water to a mix
ture of meal and bran. The milk of such
sows is apt to be so rich that the little pigs
cannot digest it; it comes through them
nearly the color of milk. Diarrhea is sure
to follow, and this Is serious injury
Warm and excessively sloppy food for the
sow is the best preventive know Of" We
have always found it to be an important
item in the future welfare of the pig tc
make the process of weaving as gradual as
possible, SO that there could be no periot
at which the thrift and growth is either
stopped or retarded. If in the life of any
animal this stoppage takes place it is inyar
iably followed by a loss which can seldom
if ever, be made good again. To avc id thi
is one of the secrets of successful breeding
and fattening of any and all kinds of stock

inevitable failure would have been the re
suit of an opposite course. Regular feed

Our Brownsville correspondent sends us
an important item in the death of Fanny
Wallace, the celebrated American gian;ess."
For many years she had travelled with
Circuses, and became we'll known through
out the country;
The largest woman in the world, Mrs.
Ruth Benton alias Fanny Wallace, died al
her residence in Vernon county, Wisconsin,
on Friday last She was ffty-fonr years
old; seven feet four inches in height. and
weighed five hundred and eighty-f
pounds. Her coffin was made in this vii
lage, and was seven feet eight inches in
length; three feet six inches in depth; fouI
feet wide at the center; twenty -four inches
at the head, and twenty-three inches at the
foot. 1t required eight men with block
and tackle TO lower the remains into the
grave. She was kind, good neighbor, 3
loving mother, and WAS beloved by al
who knew her. Knowing that she inevita
bly, must shuttle off the mortal coil, all tht
necessary preparations were made, and she
died surrounded by her family and many
friends, happy, contented, with an nnshak
en- belief in her adopted religion, whicl
was that of an Adventist.
