The practice of feeding soaked
shelled corn during the summer and
early autumn months ls one generally
followed by the large SWINE raisers of
Illinois, If soaked on the cob the
grains swell up and tighten to the cob,
so that the pigs experience the same
trouble in getting them off that they
find with the new corn when it is first
fully and firmly lipened; but if first
shelled and then thoroughly soaked it
is easily masticate1, but it is not so
palatable and is not eaten with such
relish as new corn while in the milk or
doughty state when feeding soaked
corn we have usually followed the
practice of alternating it with dry
shelled corn, one or two days in the
week, and we have thought that our
pigs always did better under this prac-
tice thar when confined exclusively to
the soaked corn d:et.-A'atiouai Lire

The climate is perfect, though by no
means bracing The city has a semi
Moorish aspect 1t is built on the
western slope of narrow bay. The
deelivity is sufficient to insure good
drainage. The streets are marrow and
the sidewalks are often only wide
enough Tor single person. The houses
are built of stone and the older ones
are generally of one story. They are
painted light blue and yellow. The
roofs in many cases are of red tiles. In
the intense sunlight of the day, the
general effect is exceedingly bright and
gay. The public promenades are
charming, with their handsome drives,
smooth walks, fountains, palms, and
masses Of tropical Towering shrubbery.
In the evening, they are brilliantly
lighted aud filled with throngs of peo-
pie, sitting, walking, talking, smokin ?,
listening to the music, enjoying the
soft, delicious air. The picture is like
that of Bouleyards Of Paris, except that
it is broader, more varied, less crowded,
and less noisy.
