EnffeainC Animals,

A very common error among farm
ers, which needs correction, Is the
opinion that animals may be fat.ened
in a few weeks and fitted for market
by heavy feeding, or as it is termed,
by pushing. Many farmers DO not
think of beginning to fatten their
hogs or cattle for early winter until
autumn has actually commenced.
Their food is then suddenly changed.
and they are dosed with large qanti-
ties of grain or meal. This sudden
change often deranges the system,
and it is frequently some time before
they recover from it. From observa-
ton and enquiry we find that the
most successful managers adopt avery
different course. They feed moder-
ately, with great regularity, and for
longer period. The most successful
pork raiser that we have met with
commences the fatteniDg of his swine
for the winter market early in ths pre-
ceding spring. In fact, he KEGS bis
young swine in a good growing con-
dition all through the winter. He
begins moderately, and increas,s the
amount gradually, never placing be-
fore the animal more than it will free
ly eat. With this treatment and
strict attention to the cOmfor; and
cleanliness of the animal, his Pring
pigs, at ten months, usually exceed
800 pounds, and have sometime gone
as high as 450 pounds, and pigs win
tered over-reach a weight of 500or 600
pounds. The corn, which is gnund
and scalded before feeding, nes him,
on an average, not less than s. per
bushel when the market price foI pork
is five cents per pound Christian

Making SOnn.

Having good soap is an important
item in household economy, but as
every one has a way of mailing it,
and as, generally speaking, eieh one
thinks her own way best, sltll not
give mine. But a number Of years
ago there was a recipe sold in tiis part
of the State. 1t was published once,
l know, but | think it is worn tell
ing again, and so here it is: When
your soap is done, just ready o take
off, for every five gallons of sop put
in one pound of sal soda, one pound
of resin, and five gallons rainwater.
The recipe said when it cane to a
boil it would be as thick as befoe the
water was poured in, but l always
had to boil a little while. Int il
makes a superior soap, taking tains
and streaks out of clothes Will less
rubbing than soap made just with lye
and water, and it don't eat the lands.
A good recipe for washing fiuA is to
take one pound of sal soda ole half
pound unslacked lime, and simmer in
five quarts rain water till the s,da is
dissolved; then drain off. PO the
clothes TO soak over night when )rac-
ticable. The recipe for it claimd no
washing was necessary, before boiing,
but we always wash the soiled peces.
When ready to boil, put few SPOON
fuls of the fluid in each boiler If wa
ter before putting in the clothes and
boil thoroughly; l think it saes at
least one-half the rubbing, and does
not injure the fabric.
The washing for a large family is a
heavy item, and it stands ever wo-
man in hand to use all available
means to make 1t as easy as possible.

excrescence in the same place, and
precisely similar to that on the
strange man, as described by Mrs.
Rand. There was an attempt to
prove an alibi, but it was shown by
the prosecution, that at the time OF
the murder of the late Squire, bis
brother was living in the slums of
low street in Sunderland thai be dis
appeared for a day and on his return
was flush of money. He explained
this, by stating that he wentto Hough-
ton by appointment, met his brother
the very evening before the murder,
and received from him one hundred
pounds, to secure himself decent out
fit prior to his returning home to lead
a new life. The story was not credit
ed, and the Squire was tried and
found guilty, and hanged at Durham.
Two years or more after this, the
widow Rand was at work, early on a
Monday morning, hanging out clothes
in her garden. Suddenly the visit of
the strange man years before, and the
dreadful tragedy that followed, with
its awful sequel, arose in her mind,
and she mechanically turned her
eyes toward the spot where she had
first seen the man digging in the
field. Was she crazy or dreaming :?
There, in the very place, was the
same man, digging as before!
She entered the house, half faint
ing, and briefly told the story to her
sons, who were now stalwart young
men. They went into the garden and
there sure enough was the man. In
two minutes they had their guns ready
and one of them passed round the
hedge to the gate below, where the
man was while the other took up
position near low stone wall, which
cut off part of the field from an open
lot. Both showed themselves at one
time and called out to the man. He
started up and prepared to fly. In
moment the young men closed In on
him, covering him with their weap-
ons. When he saw he was hopelessly
entrapped, he dropped to the ground,
and allowed himself to be captured.
As they led him through the street,
Mrs. Rand confronted him. He was
the double of the man who had visit
ed her, the morning of the 'Squire's
murder, and bore a striking resem-
blance to the late Squire, who had
been hanged as his brothers assassin,
even to the wen which had made
Mrs. Rand's Identification fatal. The
authorities were sorely preplexed,
but the man admitted that he was
the murderer of Squire Green, and
that he had come back in the hope of
finding the money he had buried
there the morning after the perpetra-
ton of his crime. He gave his name
as John Sedley. He saved the Coun-
try the trouble of hanging him, by
jumping from the top of the stage
coach while crossing the bridge into
Durham, and fraoturing his skull
against an abutment.
