How to Feed Pigs.

WE often hear complaints of verv op-
posite character from those who start
to rear Berkshire swine. One is that
they get too fat and are tender, and
often die, and also that they are no bet
ter than any other hog, for they don't
look any better on the same kind OF
food, and are not bit fatter. Two in
stances showing these extremes have
come under my observation. One man
fed his young pigs from about month
old on nearly pure pea meal and milk.
They got fat, then ceased to grow, and
then went lame on all fours, fairly
foundered, and forever spoilt. The
other party turned a pair of fine,
thrifty young pigs in among some thirty
wretched scrubs of mongrels; and he,
too, fed them peas, but in such a small
quantity that they were reduced to
skeletons, for they would not fight for
their small share with their coarse and
more vicious brethren, and then this
man said they were no better than
common. By following a few simple
hygienic rules the Berkshire can be
raised as easily and in as healthy con-
dition as any other pig.
Never reed the young pigs on strong,
concentrated food, such as ground
corn, peas, or other grain, alone. Give
milk Gf obtainable) or water, with
equal proportions of bran, shorts, and
boiled potatoes, or other roots or veg
etables; if the bran and shorts can be
scalded, SO much the better. If you
must feed peas or corn meal, NIX spar
ingly with the vegetable diet until the
pig is four months old at least, when
the grain may be increased. But all
through the pigs lite give him plenty of
good roots, boiled or raw. In short,
feed the pig generously, but not to ex-
cess, with good, pure mixed diet, and
then there will be neither sickness nor
want of fertility. As the winter is the
time that many hogs are ruined by in
judicious feeding, these hints may be of
service to beginners.-BerkShire Bul-
letin.

dislocation without fracture. Between
the second and third vertebrm there was
not only violent rupture Of the llga-
ments, but both bones were broken on
their Interior surface, causing an apert-
ure large enough TO pass a lead pencil,
through which the spinal cord was ex-
posed. In view OF the magnitude Of
the injury thus received, It was deemed
certain that sensation must have been
instantly destroyed, and, so far as hui
man knowledge can determine, Edwin
Hoyt's death must have been an abso-
lutely painless one.
Other observations of a scientific ma

The Government Service Suffering.

The people are so deeply absorbed in
the Presidential question that they are
failing to take due notice of the fact
that several important branches of the
Government service are suffering Sc
veIely from the mismanagement and
partisan pig-headedness of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress. Perhaps the Judici-
ary Department is suffering more than
any other, the United States Courts in
several States having been obliged to
close on account of the failure of Con-
gress to provide for their running ex-
penses. This has just occurred in Iowa.
