Spring LAMBS.

Parties who are buying up
lambs in Middle Tennessee are
paying 5@53c gross for those
weighing 60 pounds and upwards.
There ought to be money in this
business. An Associated Press
dispatch received at the Ameri-
can Office, gives the following as
the New York quotations:
Receipts Of sheep to-day, $3.50,
making $500 for the past two

Hog Cholera.

. We do not pretend that the
cholera when once firmly seated
can be cured, but we unhesitating-
-ly affirm that if prompt measures
are taken when the disease first
appears in the herd, large ma
jority Of the hogs may be saved.
We say hogs, knowing that young
pigs, when taken sick from any
cause, can only be saved by a
miracle. As soon as the disease
shows itself in the herd, attention
to the following particulars is i'm
perative:.
First--Remove the sick ami
mails from the pen to comfortable
quarters, and provide the herd
with fresh bedding and ample pro
lection from the weather.
Second-Avoid feeding corn ia
in any form. Feed the sick ami.
mails milk exclusively, or milk
mixed with o little middliDgs,
and the entire herd with shorts,
middlings, ground oats or rye.
Ifthe iool can be cooked so much
the better.
Third--Let the entire herd
have ready access to pure water,
and keep constantly in the yard
pile OF charcoal and ashes.
Fourth-Keep in mind con-
SANITY this general truth: the hog
is a cleanly beast which enjoys
and pays for clean quarters, and
especially bis nature, no less
than mans, demands proper sup
ply OF nitrogenous foods. ssf shi
Only a week ago we heard a
careful farmer and we'll known
Berkshire breeder assert that, at
ter much experience, he had no
longer any dread of hog cholera,
for he could cure it with new
milk. Professor Shelton.

Test for Vinegar.

We have frequently been
asked for some simple and prac-
teal method Of testing the pu |,
rity aud strength of vinegar
OF course, to.ascerfain jhst What
and how much adultermtion is
in yinegars a chemical analysis
is necessary, but for obvious
reasons this is not, obtainable
by retailers generally The
most common adulterant, how
ever, is acid, which is added to
increase the strength, and to
detect this the pickle manufac-
turers have a simple test TINT is
infallible, and shows the slight
est trace of that article. Each

We give am instance that lately
happened:-A farmer brought
lin a sample of cider vinegar
which as he had made it him
self, he knew was absolutely
pafe. On testing ii, it showed
a faint milky cloud, indicating
that there was acid of some
kind in it. Not being able to
explain it, he went home and
tested each barrel and found ii
fall so. After patient inyestiga-
ton he finally found that he
had used water from a cistern
supplied from a roofhaying cop
per cutters to carry off the wa
ter. We also tested, this week,
"a sample Of imported bottle
white wine vinegar, bearing a
name known all over the world,
and this also showed a slight
trace Of acids, added probably
to increase the strength

Pea Fodder.

Ihave foryears kept fatter cows
and had more milk aud butter,
and for less money than anybody
/ know of. l sow peas broadcast,
three pecks to a bushel per acre,
in the month of May, narrowing
them in after breaking the ground
well; then in September, | pull
them up just when few begin
to dry, and make hay out of the
vines and peas. | get from A.
600 to 5000 pounds per acrs of
hay, that is eaten by cattle and
horses as eagerly as il it were the
best clover. Pulling up is far
preferable to moving, as cattle
seem to love the roots better than
the tops, aud it is said to be mere
nutritious. No manuring is nee
essary, and one acre in, sowed peas
is worth six OF fod1er.-A. W.

Narrow uage Railroads

A few years ago narrow gauge rail-
roads attra cted much attention. and
from the then limited experiments
with them, it was predicted that they
could eventually ~supercede the
broad guage roads on score of econ
omy. But latterly little has been
heard of them, and that has been
mostly disappointing. In India the
oairow-guage railroad is a melan-
uhoy failure. The country has gone
into the raising of grain, Offering
great tonnage to the roads, and the
narrow cars and small engines of the
narrow-gauge are mere baby appli-
ances with which to handle it. The
train service and road service cost
as much for the narrow-gauge as for
the broad, while the tonnage move-
ment per train is less than half. The
cost per ton per mile on a representa-
two narrow gauge road is one penny,
or more than double the average cost
per ton per mile on the four great
broad gauge lines. The proposal to
lay another gauge has called forth
sharp protest. The English Enqineer
