FARM AND FIRESIDE.

WORMS IN HoGs.-A correspondent of
the Indiana Farmer writes: In the years
of 1857 and 1868 I lost two fine lots of
hogs, and cholera was the disease, so
thought by all, and they died in various
ways. Some died vomiting, and some
bled at the nose till death ended their
bleeding; some cramped until knots
raised on their legs and bodies as large
as small guinea eggs, and others wan
dered off and laid down and died SEEM
ingly without struggle. Imade care
full examination of sixteen of them, tax
ing those that died as above stated, and
the examination resulted in the same
thing with all. Worms were the cause.
About one foot from the mouth of the
stomach (or paunch as it is commonly
called) the worms had gathered and per
forated the eutrails for about ten inches;
the worms were still hanging about hall
through, but all dead when examined,
and l examined several as soon as dead.
Now shall we claim the disease de
scribed as cholera? Ifso, keep the hogs
whilst growing clear of worms, and the
dreaded disease of cholera will cease
This can be done by giving plenty O.
strong soap suds, salt and ashes, cop
peras, etc. But has not fine keeping
such as forcing growth, preparing
breeders for shows at fairs in breeding
etc., injured to great extent, the con
stitutional make of our hogs. They ar
certainly not so hardy now as twent.
years ago, with greater care given. Hog
that have died here this season all seen
to have lung disease. But one examina
ton that l heard of showed the lungs t
be rotten.
How FAR HE TRAvELs.-Farmer

they have to travel in turning over a.
acre with different sized plows. Th

dation of all success in every depart
ment of business, how important then
that it should be studied and understood
by those engaged therein! 1t was the
first vocation to which man was called
by the voice of his Maker, to till the soil
and it is yet the highest and noblest
profession on earth among men. tits
not only above all others; but it under
lies and sustains all Others, and all
others acknowledge their dependence
upon it.
MANY persons are troubled to get
their trees to range in the rows properly !;
even after having the ground staked off
in good order they still find their trees
stubbornly refusing to range in straight
rows. This difficulty may be obviated
by the following contrivance: Take a
board four inches wide and eight or nine
feet in length; near each end have an
inch hole, aud saw triangular notch
two inches in the middle. Make two
wooden pins or pegs one foot long, and of
size that they will easily pass through
the holes. The stake being set in the ex-
act place where the tree is to stand, lay
the gauge down so that the stake will
stand against it in the center of the
notch now drive the two pins through
the holes to half their length in the soil,
lift off the board, leaving the pins stick
in the ground, dig the hole and put the
tree in its place, replace the gauge, and
having the trunk of the tree in the notch
just as the stake stood before, hold il
there till the filling in and packing is al
done, and the tree will stand in the exact
place that the stake occupied. Proceed
in this manner with all the trees, and i
the stakes were properly set at first
the trees will range as a matter o
course.
THE comb, which is fatty, solid sub
stance produced by bees, is first excretet
from row of pouches along their side

Gated and mixed with the saliva become
whitened and tenacious, and the sub
stance is employed in the construction
of their cells, the repositories for thei
honey and eggs. The bees consum
about three-fourths of their time in con
structing their comb, while gatherin
the honey only requires one-fourth. Il
this age of progress apiarians take
sharp knife and skim off the tops Q
cells, and with the extracting machin
throw the honey from the comb by cen
trifugal force. The comb is then pu
back into the hive, the operation bein
repeated frequently during the season
This enables the bees to gather thre
times the quantity of honey by relievin
them of the necessity of building thei
combs, thence the reason why there is al
ways SO much more extracted b.
strained" honey on the market and it
consequent cheapness. The honey thu
extracted possesses a most deliciou
flavor, and can be eaten without fear Q
sickness. 1t is eating the comb tina

Prof TyndaII.s WarnIng.

In concluding an address to the students of
University College (London) Prof. Tyndall,
who is unquestionably one of the most in
defatigable brain workers of our century,
said, "Take care of your health. Imagine
Hercules as oarsman in rotten boat; what
cen he do there but by the very force of his
stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Take
care of the timbers of your boat" The dis
tinguished scientists advice is equally valu-
able to all ao0rkers. We are apt to devote all
our energies to WELDING the oars, our strokes
fall firm and fast, but few of us examine or
even think of the condition of our boats un.
til the broken or rotten timbers suddenly
give way and we find ourselves the victims
of a calamity which could have been easily
avoided by little forethought. What began
with slight fracture, or perhaps even a
careless exposure to disorganizing influences,
ends in the complete wreck of the life.boat.
The disease which began with slight head
| ache or an undue exposure to cold termi-
mates in death, unless its progress be
checked, and the disease remedied. The
| first symptoms. the heralds of disease, give
no indication of the strength of the on-com-
| ing foe, and the victim trusts that his old
ally, Nature, will exterminate the invader.
But Disease is an old general and accom-
plishes his most important movements in the
nighttime, and some bright morning finds
him in possession of one of the strongest
Notifications; and when he has once gained
a stronghold in the system Nature ignomini.
ously turns traitor and secretly delivers up
the whole physical armory to the invader
Like the willy politician, Nature is always on
the strongest side, and the only way to in.
sure her support is to keep your vital powers
in the ascendant. Keep your strongest forts
the stomach and liver-well guarded. Dc
not let the foe enter the arterial highways
for he will steal or destroy your richest mer
chandise and impover.sh your kingdom. To
repulse the attacks of the foe you can find
no better ammunition than DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines. (Full directions accom-
pany each package.) His Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are especially effective in defending
the stomach a d liver. His Golden Medical
Discovery for purifying the blood and ar
resting coughs and colds. If you wish to be-
come familiar with the most approved sys
tenn of defense in this warfare, and the his
tory of the foes metho of invasion, together
with complete instructions for keeping your
forces in martial order in time of peace, you
can find no better manual of these tactics
than "The Peoples Common Sense Medical

From this table can be seen the gain,
in the labor account with crop, which
comes from the use of broad furrow in
plowing. If We call 16 miles day the
days work for the horse, we plow but
one and quarter acres a day, by max
ing a 9-inch furrow ; nearly two acres
by making 12-inch furrow, and when
a gang plow is used, which plows a
24-inch furrow, the acreage is increased
to nearly four.
The use of an improved plow, which
turns broad furrow and pulverizes, is
therefore an economy on land suited to
its use, and there is great gain from
the use of gang plow under circum-
stances where it is applicable.
WEAVING CoLTs.-A Vermont farmer
says he weaned last spring colt in the
following manner: 1 fed grain or meal
to the mare when the colt was with her.
The colt soon learned to eat meal with the
dam. After he has been taught to eat
with the mare he will eat as readily
when he is removed from her. put my
colt in a stable where he could have
plenty of exercise in large yard fed
him with hay and bran mixed with
milk, which soon taught him to drink
without the bran. I weaned him from
the mare in this way when he was three
months old he seemed contented, and I
think did as we'll as though he had run
with the mare two months longer. 1t is
much better for the mare, and more
convenient if one wants to use her, as
most people do in the country, while the
colt is with her. This way of weaving
colts is very convenient, and one can
feed milk at such times as seem udlciOus
substituting grain or shorts for the milk
at any reasonable time.
BARE SPOTS UNDER TREEs.-To pre-
serve handsome, rich lawn, the trees
must not be so close and dense as to ex
clude entirely the SUMS rays from tht
grass beneath them. But where tn,
foliage is so thick or abundant as t.
cause bare spots, the difficulty may b.
variously obviated. Orchard grass grow
well in shade, but is too coarse 70
lawns. June grass or Kentucky blu
; grass, on the contrary, makes fine, soft
beautiful turf, and will also grow we'll i
: a moderate shade after it has once OF
' tanned foot-hold, which it is rather slo7
to do, requiring two or three years. Th
: periwinkle (Vinca) will make dens
4 growth, green both in winter and sun
e mer, the objection to it being its tel
: dency to spread. Perhaps best of all
: ivy, which, if thickly planted, will 500
cover the surface, layering assisting i
a the operation. In the northern porto
e of the Union, where the ivy is killed b
winter on the sides Of walls, it will re
t main green on the surface of the grount
}, where it derives warmth from the eartl
