HaY For Hogs,


Few men are aware of the fact
that hay is very beneficial to hogs,
but it is true nevertheless. Hogs
need rough food as we'll as horses,
cattle or the human race. To pre-
pare it you should have a cutting
box or hay cutter, and the greener
the hay the better. Cut the hay as
short as oats, or shorter, and mix
with bran, shorts or middlings, and
feed as other food. Hogs soon
learn to like it, and, If soaked in
swill as other slop food, it IS highly
relished by them. In winter use
for the hogs the same hay you feed
10 your horses, and you will find
that, while it saves bran, shorts or
other food, it puts on flesh as rapid
ly as anything that can be given
them. I he use of hay can be com
menced as early as the grass will
do to cut, and when run through
the cutting box can be used to adj
vantage by simply soaking in fresh
water until it sours.- Nebraska

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
scciability Among Farmers,


There is j lack of sOciabili5y
among farmers and their wives
owing to their ignoring the rules OF
good society and why are they not
mem bers OF society as well as those
in town? There surely is more OPP
portunity for them to omit their
duties to society, because they live
somewh hat isolated lives; neverthe-
less there are the duties and the
simple sharing and sustaining of
ones part in public affairs, which
are a great benefit of themselves
and not to be compared to the ease
one may gain by keeping at home.

A short time ago a paIefaced
little girl walked hurriediy into q
bookstore in Annasburg, and said
TO the man serving at the counter
Please sSr, l want a book that 5
got Suffer little children to come
unto me- in 1t; and how much is it
SIR? and 1 am in a great hurry
The shopman bent down and
busted his spectacles. "And sup

what then, my dear?'
90, sir, l shall be 80 sorry;

trembled at there being a chance of
disappointment
The kind shopmaa took the thin
hand of his small customer in his
own. ''WilI you be so very sad
without the book? and why are you
in such a hurry?"
well sir, you see, l went to
school one Sunday when Mrs. West,
who takes care of me, was away /;
and teacher read about a Good
Shepherd who said those words;
and about a beautiful place where
be takes care of his children, and
want to go there. I'm so tired of
being where there's nobody to care
for little girl like me, only Mrs.
West, Who says I'd be better dead
than alive"
But Why are you in such a
hurry?"
"My coughs getting so bad now,
sir, and want to know all about
Him before 1 die; it 'ud be so
strange TO see him and not to know
him. Besides, if Mrs. West knew
/ was here she d take away the six
cents I've saved running messages
TO buy the book with; SO I'm in a
hurry to get served"
The book seller wiped his glasses
very vigorously this time, and lift

Then he read the words of the low

inches deep, throwing the earth ali

pit, dig a trench Of sufficient length
to hold one or two joints of stove

the end away from the pit to the
surface Of the ground. Over the
end of the pipe, set large cask;
remove both heads, and bank up
the earth so that 90 smoke can es

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
THE FLY.

As small as TIE dot of an !
Is the brain of little fly;
And yet he can think,
Can eat and can drink;
He can hear and can see
Like you OF like me;
He can fly and walk,
Can buzz but not talk;
Can climb up a wall,
And that is not all
As you lie in bed
Look up over head,
You'll sea him stealing
Across the ceiling.
We're you to do that
You'd fall down fat.
So that little fly,
On the ceiling high,
With his tiny brain,
May rightly be vain
For surely tits true
He's smarter than you.
So strong Is his will
That if you keep still
And would like to sleep
He slowly will creep
On your check or ear,
And then | much fear,
His will Is so strong,
IL will not be long
Before you VIII shake
And he will awake.
His will then you see
The strongest will be-
And on I might go
And cause you to know
That this little fly
Has brighter eye,
Is svifter to act,
More cunning in fact
With his brain so small
He yet beats Us all.
