AT a recent meeting of an English
Farmers Club, Prof. Mcbride spoke of
the difficulty OF administering medicine
to a pig. He said: To dose a pig,
which you are sure to choke if You at
tempt to make him drink while suueal-
ing, halter him as you would for execu-
ton, and tie the rope-end to a stake.
He viii pull back until the rope is tight
" strained. When he has ceased his
uproar and begins to reflect, approach
him, and between the back part of his
jaws insert an old shoe, from which you
have cut the toe leather. This he will
at once begin to suck and chew.
Through it pour medicine, and he will
swallow any quantity You please.
SLICED APPLEs.-Eight pounds of
apples, pared and quartered; four
pounds of sugar, one quart of vinegar,
one ounce of thick cinnamon, one-half
ounce cloves; boil the vinegar, sugar
and spice together; put in the apples
while boiling, and let them remain until
tender (abOut twenty minutes) then
put the apples in a jar; boil down the
sirup until thick and pour over them.

In the new book on physical culture,

regarding the average American ply

seriously for themselves and the COM

statements alluded 10 is that Americans
indulge in less physical exercise than
any other fully civilized people, and
while they are OF all nations the most
ambitious for their children, they give
the latter absolutely no physical educa-
ton and development whatever. All

An Orioles Spite Against Dog.

An incident interesting to students OF
natural history occurred few days ago
at house in this city. In front OF the
house small tree is growing, in which
an oriole took up its abode, building a
nest and evincing a desire to raise a
family. The owner of the house has q
spaniel. From the time the oriole be-
gan to build its nest it exhibited mark
ed antinpathy to the dog, flying at him
boldly whenever he came in front OF the
house, and pecking him until he retired
from the field. This occurred several
times, the bird coming off victorious.
Of late the oriole has shown more OBJ
lection than common to the dog, per-
haps because there are now some young
ones in the nest. One day the unhappy
spaniel came out to lie on the front steps,
but was not allowed to enjoy his rest
unbroken, for the oriole swept down on
him, pecked his back, fapoed his wings
in his eyes, and made it so uncomfort-
able for him that the dog ran into the
house. But his trouble did not end
here, for the bird went into the house
after him, beating him continually

FERTILIzING A MISSOURI FARM. All
that "ails barn-yard manure" with us is
we can't get enough of it. The east
ern statistical professor says it costs
him $50 per acre to apply it, and he gets
meager returns. He must pay pretty
high for the material, big wages for
hauling and reckon in such items as
wagon-grease, wear of shoe leather,
etc, ETC., with perhaps interest on capi-
tai invested, and then, l can not see
what kind of soil he applies his $50
worth of manure to that he gets so
meager return. Two years ago this
harvest, drove my reaper over spots
in my wheat field, so much exhausted
that the wheat they produced was not
tall enough for the reaper to cut. The
little heads, of three or four kernels
each, waved up behind the platform no
more molested than when light wind
passed over them. That summer L
gave all those weak places light dress.
ing of "barn-yard MANURE" and sowed
the field to wheat again. My
next crop was very fair one the field
over, but that upon the manured spots
stood several inches higher than the
rest, the heads were the longest, best
filed, and ripened much the best grain.
The expense of manuring was almost
nothing; got it back many fold the first
season; and it did not end there; the
manure is still showing itself in the
growth the corn is making on the same
ground. lido not buy manure; there
is none in the country for sale. We all
rely upon barn-yard manure and clover
for fertilizers. Land will sometimes get
too much exhausted to start clover; but
good dressing of manure will always
bring it up. l put in all the wheat | can
