AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
A Cheap Smok<-House.


A writer in the Rural Nao Yorker sug
gests the following plan of cheap
smoke house:
Dig a narrow pit twelve to eighteen
inches deep, throwing the earth out on
one side. From near the bottom of
this pit dig trench of the length of
one or two joints of stove-pipe at such
an angle as will bring the end away from
the pit to the surface of the grou nd
Over the end of this pipe set common
flour barrel or large cask, as may be
needed, and having removed both heads
bank up around it with the loose earth,
so that no smoke can escape at the bot
tom.
Hang in the hams, shoulders, ETC.,
using something like broom handle to
run through the strings. Putting a
cover on the top of the sticks will leave
space enough for draught to let the
smoke pass freely. Build a smoke fire
of corn cobs, damp hard wood sawdust,
or fine chips, and you will have cheap,
safe and efficient smoke house with
very little trouble.

THE GHOSTS OF MARATHON.

From bsrrows whsre they lay,
The hosts of warriors slain
In Mafathond fierce fray.
In gold cuirssses mailed,
The Persian lords once more,
In shadowy charge are seen,
Careering a. OF yore.
Back from the steeled array
OF hoplitee stern recoil,
The shattered cavaliers
Strowing the crimson soil.
Wild battle cries are heard
Upon the night wind chill,
The poan of the Greeks
With trunpet.clangors shrill.
The Medes bsYbaric yen
From throsts unnumbered sent,
Where hercest glows the fight
The air with groans il rent.
Confusion rout and fear
At length the naughty Mede
In dsingsqusdrons send
Shoreward with panic speed.
The warrior goddess shakes
Her Rgis Ger the foe;
With harvest of the slain
The fields her legions strow.
Thus ut the midnight hour
TN Msrsthen's Lane plain,
In shAdowy squadrous rise
The slayers and the slain.

A Natural Curiosity.

A reporter of the Pittsburgh Gazette
was recently shown what is certainly a
curiosity. This is fish, between four
and a half and FIVE inches in length,
somewhat resembling the catfish that
inhabit our rivers, which had been taken
out of an oyster shell. An evening or
two ago, gentleman went into John
OBrien's saloon, on Smithfeld street,
above Strawberry alley, and called for
" half dozen raw on the half shell. {"
While opening the shells, the manipu-
lator of the bivalves was astounded on
opening one that looked as if it con-
tanned fine oyster, to discover the fish,
snugly ensconsced therein, but dead and
dat. The gentleman took the fish to
MIR. William Dauler, in the furniture
store next door, who placed it in a
bottle of alcohol. How it got in the
shell is an uusolvable enigma, except
on the hypothesis that it entered to de-
YOUR the oyster while the latter had its
shell open. Mr.. Dauler proposes to
give the fish, which for the singularity
of Its development is a novelty in itself,
to the Western University, his Alma
Mater, to be placed in the museum.

Beware Of Fruit Tree PeddIers.

For the past two years various gangs
of men have canvassed different por-
tons of the country with samples of
fruit in glass jars, and large numbers
of people have become victims to their
fraudulent practices. These men do
not grow their stock themselves, nor is
it grown in Ohio, rs represented, but it
is picked up In different parts of the
country wherever they can buy the
cheapest trees. The fruit shown by
them in their glass jars is seldom of the
variety represented by them, but con.
sists of the largest specimens of any
variety they can obtain; it is named to
suit the purchaser when it is real, but
is often wax, and being in liquid the
deception is not perceived by the pur-
chaser. The trees sold by them are
shipped huEdreds of miles without be-
ing boxed to protect them, and with
out moss sufficient to keep the roots
moist. That this fraud may be entire
ly successful, customers are warned by
these imposters not to open their trees,
as exposure would injuro them; and
the victim is generally home before he
discovers the fraud. The prices OBJ
tanned by these parties are simply fab
ulous, and often are for plants that do
not exist. For instance, they sell
strawberry plant" which they call
"The Alpine Tree Strawberry" Ia
"thing" unknown to nurserymen) at
an enormous price, and deliver plant

Experiments in Cooking Food.

if farmers would adopt it and at the
same time mix in salt, copperas and
sulphur, hogs would be healthy. If
twenty acres of corn cooked for feed is
worth thirty acres fed raw, then the
subject is worthy of the best judgment.
For the proof of the proposition l not

who have, by actual tests, found that
on all kinds of grain an average of
one-third is saved, and on potatoes and
all kinds of roots fully three-quarters.
Messrs. Wilson & Bros, dairymen, of
M uncie, Ind, cook ground feed for
their COWS and says that since they
commenced cooking the feed their
COWS have increased their milk fully
one-third. NJ. NJ. Lohr, of Licking
county, Ohio, has practiced for a long
time, cooking corn in the ear for his
milch cows, and testifies to the same
thing. T. Middleton, of Union county,
Ohio, a breeder of fine hogs, te.tifies
that two-thircs of the corn cooked is
much better than the whole fed raw in
the usual way, particularly for pigs and
young hogs. t. ]. Edge, of Indiana,
made the following experiment: First,
shelled and fed whole; second, ground
and made into slop, with cold water;
and third, ground and thoroughly
cooked. After fair test with litter
of five pigs, feeding an equal length of
time, giving each the same time and
test, found that FIVE bushels of whole
corn made 474 pounds of pork; FIVE
bushels less toll) of corn, ground and
made into slop with cold water, made
SAL pounds of pork; the same amount
of meal well cooked and fed cold, made
S5i pounds. The second experiment
was with new corn In two forms viz
on the ear, and shelled and ground be-
fore boiling. Ten bushels on the cob
made 29s pounds of pork, fed in the
usual way, on the ground. The same
amount shelled, ground and cooked,
made "a pounds.

ton. To prevent others from asking
the question, as we'll as to save other
breeders from being asked the same
question, we will endeavor to answer at
length, 80 as to make it clear to all, If
We can.
Some correspondents wish to know
which breed is the best, but never
think it worth while to say for what
purpose they wish the swine-Whether
for large or for small pork, or if they
expect to give the very best corn, food,
and attention, or only such treatment
and food as is ordinarily given by the
average farmer. 1t would be Just as
sensible to ask which is the best horse
| Which Is the best COW? Which is the
best DOG? etc., without stating for what
purpose you intend such animal. A
running horse is not the very best ami
NAL to buy for trotting purposes; Meth
er, as rule, is it best to purchase a
| large Shorthorn for butter making pur-
| poses; nor yet shepherd dog for gun
ming.
The trouble with very many persons
is in not first knowing exactly what they
want; in getting stock too much at ran
dom. Not long ago a purchaser of an
exceptionally fine looking pig wrote me
| he "did not like the Yorkshire, 20 they
did not do well" 1t afterward trans
pired that he had run his pigs nearly all
summer out in the fields, and as the
Yorkshire had not been used to this.

which have for generations been only

When you expect to give nothing but
the very best care, food, and attention,
We are satisfied the Yorkshires will
return more pounds than any other we
have tried, while they fatten early, or
can be made to weigh very heavy at
from twelve to fourteen months old.
When the treatment and food is only
ordinarily good, the Berkshires and
their crosses are undeniably the best
especially as the flesh is more meaty
and not 30 inclined to fat as are the
Yorkshires.
Where heavy weights are desired the
Poland-Chinas and the Chester Whites
claim the attention of the breeders and
farmers, for they are undoubtedly more
suitable for producing heavy hogs than

established breeds are good but for some
particular purpose, snd they have been
established, it must be borne in mind,
by carefully and systematically breed
ing for some especial obi ect for many
years, until 1t has been accomplished.

Remedy for Foot Disease in sheep.

Veterinary Surgeon Felizet draws at
tention to the continued success attend
ing the employm ent of caustic lime for
the foot disease in sheep. 1t is very
laborious to touch the feet of numer-
GUS flock of sheep with the usual as
tringents-solution of copperas, white
vitrol, calcined alum or spirits of tur.
pentine. Instead, form a species of
Enclosed "run," fifteen yards long by

form depth of nine inches toward the
middle of the run; pour into this bath
four barrels of water, and distribute
over the bottom two cwt. of quicklime,
covering all with a dozen bundles of
the refuse fodder from the racks, so as
to form carpet. Drive the sheep
into this foOt-bath, one hundred at a
time, and compel them to well pass
and repass from one end to another.
The spread fodder prevents the feet
sinking too profoundly, and acts as a
brush at the same time for forcing the
caustlc solution to enter the nails. The
bath must be made entirely new once
a week, as the lime, absorbing carbonic
acid, loses its causticity. 1t is a COM
mon practice to wet the straw intended

Of quick lime; the straw become thus
