Green Food for Pigs.

Pigs fed dry corn all summer are
very difficult to fattcn in the fall. If
they get the greater part of their sum-
mer's living from green food they fat
ten easily and quickly. 1t is safe to say
that the corn fed to hogs, without green
food, will not produce more than ten
cents per bushcl. There arc many per-
sons who can testify to this from actu-
al experience. There is now an idea
prevailing among many farmers that
pig raising will not pay until more at
tention is given to feeding. The pig
in its natural state gets the greater part
OF its living from grass. His nature
has not been so changed that he can b.
fed with concentrated food like corn
and do well. Corn is almost indispen-
sible to the profitable growing of pigs,
and green food of some kind is just as
necessary. To feed it economically
there should be some means of keeping
1t OIL the ground and from under the
feet. Ordinarily about one-half is des-
troyed if trampled on, while in wet
times, in a muddy yard, very little Is
q. aten. The superintendent of the col.
lege farm reported last year very good
method of feeding to prevent this
waste. Make rack about two and
one half feet high and a foot wide at the
top, with openings at the sides, between
the pieces, of not more than three
inches. 1t may be placed along the
side of fence, so that the pigs can eat
from one side, or out in the yard, so
they can eat from both sides. In the
first case, the lower end of the pieces
composing the rack may be driven into
the ground under the bottom board of
the fence. Il Nebraska farmer.

"That Cheap Encyclopaedia"

Volume one of the new "Library of
Universal knowledge" is issued Sep
TENDER 20. 1t contains 736 pages of
small but clear and beautiful type,
handsomely printed on good paper, and
is neatly and strongly bound in cloth,
half morocco and half Russia, at 80
cents, rs cents, and $l.00 per volume.
The succeeding volumes will appear
about two each month, till the 20 vol
umes completing the work are issued.
Specimen volumes are sent to any part
of the United States GO cents extra for
postage), with privilege of return after
ten days examination. Special terms
are offered to early subscribers and to
clubs, of which full particulars are sent
free on request by the publishers, the
American Book Exchange, So Beekman
street, New York.
That complete Encyclopedia, first
class in character, and containing more
matter than any heretofore published
in this country at any price, should be
made and sold for the trifling sum of
$1,000, seems so extraordinary, that
many who wish it may be true, are
naturally incredulous. The Same house
publishes large list of standard works,
all at similarly low prices, snd the
presence of some of them already in
the hands of hundreds of thousands of
lovers of good books in all parts of the
land, is naturally rapidly transforming
the incredulous into patronsand enthu-
siastic friends of the enterprise. No
mystery is made about the cause of the
low prices-they are, the reduced cost
of manufacture to one half what it was
a few years ago, the method Of sale, di-
rect to the purchaser, saving him the
large commissions commonly paid to
agents and dealers, and vGy large
sale. 1t is worth the cost OF postal

A young colored women recently al
tended an Episcopal Sunday school in
Newark, N. j., with the view of join
ing the church. She had been brought
up Presbyterian. The minister di-
rected her to learn the Apostles Creed.
The clause, 81 believe in the Holy
Catholic church," disturbed her, for
she wanted TO remain a protestant.
The minister explained the passage to
her, and she seemed satisfied. Snbsc-
quently she attended services at the
church, and saw the rector OF the par
ish, robed in white surplice, enter and
kneel near the eagle lectern or reading
desk. The olored woman fled from
the church. She said afterwards:

Shelter for Lands.

The advantage of sheltering lands
and buildings by trees has long been
admitted by the more observing, and
many arc now selecting groves as their
building spots, in order to avail them
selves of the protection these give from
the high winds of winter, as well as
from the fiercer glare of the summer
sun. While many are doing this, there
are not a few others who are pitching
their homes on the hill tops, far re-
moved from shades and screens, re-
gardlcss alike of the furious blast and
their own comfort as well as that of
their animals. True, such situations
are well adapted for the display of
white paint, d color very common in
the country; but what ideas of comfort
or home can be associated with such
citadels upon the hill / never could i'm

What there Is In Wheat.

The wheat grain is fruit consisting
of seed and its coverings. All the
middle part of the grain is occupied by
large, thin cells, full of powdery sub
stance, which contains nearly all the
starch of the wheat. Outside the CEN
trail starchy mass is single row of
squarish cells filled with a yellowish
material, very rich in heterogeneous, that
is, flesh-forming matter. Beyond this
again there are six thin coats or cover
ings, consisting much of mineral mat
ter, both of potash and phosphates.
The outermost coat is of but little val
lie. The mill products of those cover
ings of the seed are peculiarly rich I"
rntr;,nn~.. I'D IA. ncur is robbed of a
large percentage of valuable and nutri-
tious food. Middlings not only contain
more fibrin and mineral matter than
fine -four, but also more fat. The fib-
rous matter, or outer coat, which is in
digestiblc, forms one-sixth of the bran,
but not one-hundredth of the fine flour.
Wheat contains the greatest quantity of
gluten and the smallest of starch: rye.
medium proportion of both, while in
barley, oats and corn, the largest pro-
portion of starch and the smallest of
gluten are to be found. In practice 100
pounds of flour will make from 1888 to
l37 pounds of bread, a good average
being 1876 pounds; hence barrel of
1876 pounds should yield 266 one pound
loaves.- American Miller.

The state fish commissioners, through
their agents, have turned into the Und-
son river this season more than G 800
600 young shad that had been Matched
by the artificial process. This is about
one-third larger number than had hatch
ed in any previous year, requiring the
interrupted work of six men for about
thirty-fivc days. The most satisfactory
results have followed the efforts of pre-
vious years. Not for half a century
have shad been so abundant in the Hud-
son as they were this year. The mar
kets were filled TO Overlooking, and
fishermen along the river disposed of
large numbers to farmers to be used to
fertilze the fields. The work of stock
ing the river has reached such state of
advancement that, at comparatively lit
lie cost, the same number of fish that
assembled the river this year may be
made to appear in succeeding years. :

WINDGALLs IN HORSES Windgalls
III the horse are the result of severe
work. The back sinews are encased i'm
a fine sheath, which contains SYNONYM.
or as it is commonly called, 'joint oil y
The use of this oil is to facilitate the
motions of the two greater flexter ten
dons one upon the other; so that when
the pace is too fast or the labor too en-
ergetic, the delicate membrane which
secretes the synovia becomes irritated.
The consequence of irritation is in
creased secretion. More joint-oil is
poured forth than the natural sac can
contain. The membrane, therefore,
bags out al those parts which are weak
est. Windgalls generally appear on
the hind legs, because these members
generally do the heaviest portion of the
horses work. There NAV be one or
three on both sides of each leg.-TEx.

There are many significant signs of
the progress of the temperance reform.
One of these encouraging incidents
transpired in connection with tie re-
cent commencement exercises of the
Columbia College Law School at the
Academy of Music, President Bernard
in the chair. Luther II. Marsh, ESQ.
In addressing the graduates and urging
the importance of vocal culture, and TO
that end of cultivating The habit of pub
lie speaking, took occasion to suggest
to the young lawyers-of whom there
were many, besides the large gradual
ing class, present--that among other
kinds Of vocal practice they should at
tend and address temperance meetings.
This was said in the presence of very
large and fashionable audience which
crowded the Academy in every nart
and 1t is one more gratifying indication
that the temperance reform is increas-
ing its constituency.

Pumpkins for Cows.

This very cheap and valuable food for
stock is perhaps not estimated highly
enough by dairymen. Prof. f. X.
Storcr of The Busy Institution, made
thorough analysis of pumpkins and
squashes in 1877. The average ofhis
analysis of the whole pumpkin is about
ten to twelve per cent of dry substance.
1t has large percentage of water, but
not more than turnips or fodder corn,
and is comparatively rich in albumin
pids. This vegetable is an important
auxiliary in producing milk, but some
dairymen have got a prejudice against
it from the effect of the seeds when Civ
en- in too large quantity. The seeds
have a diuretic effect, operating on the
kidneys, and this has sometimes lessen
ed the flow of milk; but if small por-
ton of the seeds are removed the dan
ger is wholly avoided. And probably
the cases of injury have been occasioned
from feeding more than the due portion
of the seeds. Thirty pounds of pump
kins fed to each COW per day will in
crease the yield and improve the quail
ty of the milk, but more than this
should not be given. They are very
cheap food, since it requires very little
labor to raise them. From two to three
tons may be raised with good yield
of corn per acre, requiring little more
than placing the seeds at the distance of
twenty foet apart, in alternate rows of
corn after the corn is up. The cuitiva
ton of the corn will be sufficient atten-
ton to the pumpkin crop, and this will
often be worth ten to fifteen bushels OF
corn per acre. This crop is appropri-
ate to the whole country and will repay
The attention given it. Pumpkins are
a good fatting food for cattle sheep and
hogs. They arc good food for pigs,
serving to counterfeit the heating effect
of corn. They are easily keep from
freezing and may be fed i'll cold wealth
er. They are cheaply gathered and
stored, costing much less than any root
crop according to value.

the Improved EAGLE COTTON GINS
These Eagle Gins are the Standard Cot
ton Gins, far ahead of all Others in work
manship and durability, and make a sam
pie of cotton which always brings thu
highest market price. The New o Lean
Cotton Exchange paid thirty cents {
pound for u bale of cotton ginned on til,
Eagle Cotton Gin, and sent the bale to the
Centennial Exhibition as the lest bale o.
cotton ever brought to this market. The st
Louis Fair has awarded $1,000 premium to q
bale of cotton ginned on the Eagle Cot,
ton Gin. At the Centennial Exhibition
the committee decided the Eagle Gin was
far superior to all others.
No higher prizes have ever been award
ed to any gin in the world han have been
awarded to the EAGLE, it having re-
ceived, in one instance, the high prize OF
Sl250 in gold (by the Agri-Horticultural
Society of Calcutta) in a competition open
to all nations.

Gin commenced in 1888, since which time
nearly twenty thousand nave been made
and sold. The largest planters Of the
