A well-aRtheniicatcd hog story
reaches us which indicates that a hog,
il not possessed with reason, certain
ly has remarkable fine instinct.
Several days since Messrs. E. l.. Por-
ter IL Bro. living near this city, sold
to w. II. Hines a lot of hogs which
that gentleman shipped to Louisville,
The hogs were SOLD m that city and,
left in the stock pens. About five
days afterwards oae OF tine hogs, which
bore peculiar mark, returned to the
farm Of tho Messsrs. Porter. having
made his escape and travelled ON foot q
distance of about one hundred and ten
miles. 1t womb seem after erform-

Tame Grasses in Rsnsas

The success achieved in the cultiva-
ton of tame gra sses in Kansas is sub
ject Of frequent inquiry by eastern peo-
rle, who leave their fields of timothy,
clover and blue grass behind them with
more reluctance than anything else.
Hence they desire to learn what chance
they may have in their new home of re-
producing, under changed conditions,
those meadows of green, appearing with
the first rays of spring, even before the
frosts anC. SHOWS of winter have left the
landscape, and continuing till late in
autumn, when the natural grass and
leaves of the trees have long since turn
ed to scar and brown. The last quarter
" report of the state board of agricul-
ure answers this question very satisfac-
torily.
We find set down in the report, num-
Der of acres timothy meadows, 1873.
40, 121; number in 1879, 81 ,481; increase
in one year, 10360 acres. Clover mead
ows ia 1873, 12.4S9 acres; 1879, 14763;
increase, 1885. Timothy pasture In
1878, $500 acres: 1879, IA, 2l2; increase
1892 acres, or go per cent. A clerical
error appears on page 20 in the report
which is liable to mislead casual OBJ
server in the statement of the number
of acres of timothy pasture in 1879. In
place of .421 SO the figures should read
IA 2l2 .3S making as above stated an in
crease OF 1892 3S acres in this species
of tame grass for pasturing alone. The
blue grass pasture has an increase of
s ,290 acres. Blue grass in Kansas loses
much of its far famed quality ascribed
to it in its native Kentucky home, when
transferred to Kansas. There are other
grasses considered superior to it in this
state. After pretty thorough tests at the
Manhattan Agricultural College, it
has been rated very low.-Kansos Farm.

ALFONSO AND MARIE.
A Case of Love at First Sight and Hope
Deferred.
From the Boston Post.

1t appears by the following statement
by the Madrid correspondent of the New
York Euening Post, that the Archduch-
ess Marie is an old flame of Alfonso's,
and that they are really resuming a
broken of love affair. The Archduchess
and the King it seems, have known
each other from childhood. When Queen
Isabella was exiled with all her family
Prince Alfonso was placed in boarding
school in Vienna, called the Theresa
mum, where he became great favorite
with Mr.. Schmerling, one Of the digni-
taries ofthe institute, who took him fire.
quently to the Chateau Weilburg, in
Baden the residence of the Archduchess
Isabel. The children, Alfonso and Marie
Christine, played together in the park
on these holidays, and rode races with
each other, she on pony and he on a
velocipede. There must have been some
interchange of childish vows between
them, for when in the course of time
Alfonso was made King of Spain, the
Archduchess, already young lady in
long dresses. became suddenly much
interested in Spanish affairs, and adopt
cd the Spanish mantilla. She even had
Sc eral portraits made with the Span
ism veil and rose, and evidently expect
ed an offer of the hand and crown of
King Alfonso. Her disappointment was
so great when she knew that Mercedes
had been preferred that when a few
months ago, the alliance with Don AL
fonso was first proposed to her she fiat
ly refused to hear of it. After few
weeks she however, relented, but insist
ed upon the kings going to Vienna to
visit her before consenting to consider
the proposal. The cabinet decided that
Spanish etiquette and royal dignity
could not be entirely waived as to per-
nit the monarch to go all the way. 1t
was only when the young lady became
convinced that it would be impossible
for the King to go to Vienna that she
condescended to come half way to meet
him. 1t was discovered that she needed
sea-baths. Arcachon offered every adj
vantage as bathing place, and being
so near Spain the day was finally set for
the interview at this town,

Fattening Poultry for Market.

No fowl over two years old should be
kept in the poultry yard, except for
some specific reason. An extra good
mother, or finely feathered bird that
is desirable as breeder, may be kept
until ten years old with advantage, or
at least as long as she is serviceable.
But ordinary hens and cocks should be
fattened at the end of the second year
for market. Feeding for this purpose
Gaay be begun now. When there is a
room or shed that can be closed. the
fowls may be confined there. The floor
should be covered with two or three
inches of fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted
coal ashes or clean sand. The food must
be given three times day, and clean
water be always before the fowls. A
dozen or more fowls may be put at
once in this apartment, so that there
may not be too many ready to sell at
one time. The best food for rapid fat
tening, for producing we'll favored flesh
and rich fat, is buckWheat meal mixed
with sweet SKINNED milk into thick
mush. A teaspoonful of salt should be
stirred in the food for dozen fowls.
Two weeks feeding is sufficient to fatten
the fowls, when they should be shipped
without delay, and another lot put up
for fleeing. If the shed is kept dark
and cool. as it should be, the fowls
will fatten all the quicker for it.

The old-fashioned little girl was mod.

slang or by-words. She did not laugh at

Patents on Old Inventions.

1t is a little singular that some person
desiring TO become rich without labor
does not take out patent on revolv.
ing grindstone. 1t would not be neces-
sary for him to engage in the manufac-
ture and sale of them. He could
quietly remain at home and send his
agents about the country to scare far
mers into the payment OF damages for
infringement on his patent. Examiners
in the patent office are not supposed to
have seen grindstone, and, as the rec
ords of the department contain no
mention of one, they would be quite
likely to regard it as novel invention,
and so report it to the commissioner,
who would issue patent on it. The
patentee would then have wide and
rich field from which to reap bounti-
ful harvest By threatening to bring a
suit for damages in the United States
court, nearly every person who uses
grindstone would settle and congratulate
himself that be had escaped so easily.
A course ike the above has been pur-
sued by numerous persons with refer
ence to implement and processes that
have been in use longer than the COM
mon grindstone. In some instances
they nave made arrangements with
"snide" lawyers, who attended to their
claims in different counties, and receiv-
ed commission on all sums they col
lected by means of sending out warning
notices.
A few years ago person came to this
