FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Glover q nd Rye for Hogs.

In my experience, says writer, have
found nothing so profitable for hog
pasture as clover and rye, and 1 think
rye preferable, and the reason they are
better than timothy, blue grass and all
similar grasses is they remain more
tender for longer period than other
grasses, which so soon become wiry and
hard, partaking Of the nature of hay,
and have never known hogs to thrive
on it, although other stock does. To
use rye profitable for pasture fall rye
should be sown for spring pasture and
spring rye for later pasture, and by not
pasturing too long and too close there
will be considerable head out, which
when ripe will, with the weeds that natur
ally grow among grain, makegood pasture
until time to commence feeding corn,
at least such is my experience. AS to
using any of the grasses for hog pasture,
1 would prefer a weed pasture, and 1
will here say that I am Of opinion if
some of the weeds so eagerly eaten by
hogs were domesticated and properly
cultivated they would prove more salts
factory for hog pasture than anything
used of grass kind.

WAY on Meeils,

Let the war on weeds begin early and
keep it up without cessation. When
ever there is the shadow of a chance
weeds assert themselves, and if not
quickly subdued soon monopolize pas
lures, meadows, fields and gardens.
A sovereign remedy for most weeds
is thorough cultivation. Aweedy field
planted to corn and cultivated early and
late, especially early, for season or
two, will generally lose even the tough
growths. A sharp-toothed cultivator
will accomplish much, and where this
misses, hand hoes will finish the rest.
When it is not practicable to place
weed-infested fields under continued
cultivation, much may be accomplished
by digging noxious growths up by the
roots, moving them down repeatedly or
smothering them out, according as they
propagate from seed, root, or from both.
70 carry on the war intelligently farm
ers must know somewhat of the nature
and growth of the weeds. White daisies,
one of the worst pests meadows have to
contend with, spread from both root and
seed; they should be dug out, there
fore, before the blossom natures, that
the seed crop for that year may be
destroyed as we'll as the germ
which produces the stem and
blossom the next. This, by the
way, is most readily accomplished
when the ground is soft from recent
ruin. The same may be said of the
iron-weed that is of similar habit.
Burdocks will finally succumb to re-
peated cuttings provided they are cut
three or four inches under the surface.
Elders and briers may in time be over
come by repeated mowings and then
pasturing with sheep. Milkweed can
be exterminated by continued cuttings,
never allowing the plant to show long
above ground. Plantain, if not permit
ted to mature its seed for two years,
will die out. May and August are fit
ting months in which to NOV such
weeds as succumb from loss of leaves.
The Canada thistle is perhaps most
quickly checked by the rank growth of
some field crop which overtops it and
smothers it out. Great care should be
exercised to prevent all classes of weeds
from forming their seed, ,-NetO York

Gave Him a TbraShing.

Carl Schumann, of Cincinnati, wrote
a communication which was printed in
German socialistic paper in Chicago.
The article reflected on Matthew Burg
helm, German publisher of Cincinnati,
and his dead wife Burghelm, when he
saw the article, few into a rage and
threatened violence. Schumann had
him arrested. At a hearing in the
police court Buryheim was discharged.
On leaving the court, and within a
square of it, he met Schumann, whipped
him soundly and surrendered to the
police. Next daT, in the police court,
Justice Wilson asked Burgheim:
"Did you beat that man ?"
The answer was eyes" The justice
then asked Schumann:
"Did you write that article ?"

"Then," said Justice Wilson, 81 dis

What Size Trees to Buy.

Purchasers of trees often make the
mistake of supposing that the larger the
tree bought the greater the gain. Nur-
serymen, who of all men should know
as to this, say that there is absolutely
nothing gained by buying large trees.
This applies, of course, in general
sense. IL a tree could be removed
every few years, so as to have an abun-
dance of fbrous, or small roots, there
would be no check on removal, and such
tree would never become too large to
move proitably. The general run of
trees are not treated thus, ana so the
larger the tree the less likely is it to
have many roots, and as a consequence
the tree must either be pruned back Sc
verelv, or let alone to make a weak
growth, and perhaps die. The best
way is to get medium tree, treat it
well, and it will give far more satisfac-
tion than large one would have done,
without much doubt.

Female Executions in Russia.

Sophia Perofskaia is the first woman
ever judicially hanged in Russia, and,
in fact, the only woman executed in the
czar's dominions since 1719, in which
year o governess named Mary Hamilton
had her head publicly cut otf-proba-
bly, with sword at st. Petersburg,
for having made away with her three
illegitimate children. Twenty five
years after that event Elizabeth,
daughter of Peter the Great, abolished
the punishment of death, and it has
never been reintroduced into the Rus
sian criminal code since. Hence,
when any one commits a more than
usually atrocious crime in Russia, in
order that the death punishment may
be awarded, the criminal must be tried
by military tribunal, as was done in
the case of all the Nihllists who have
been tried during the last three years,
or else by special high court of JUS
tice like the courts which tried Solovieff
for firing at the late car in st. Peters
burg (April, 1873, and the persons who
ultimately succeeded in taking his life.

A singular and painful incident re-
Gently occurred in New York hospital.
Two Polish women, one married, the
other single, arrived in a European
steamer, and being found to be suffering
from smallpox we're sent to the hospital.
On the way their tickets in some way be-
came changed, and the married woman
was entered as the single one, and vice
versa. The husband of the former went
to the hospital frequently to inquire for
his wife, and, although she died soon
after landing, the authorities, suppos
ing the other was the married woman,
gave encouraging reports of her condi-
tion. At last she was pronounced cured,
and the husband was sent for, and upon
his arrival the mistake was for the first
time discovered.

An authority on dentistry stated in a
recent lecture that the first knowledge
of dentist surgery was brought to this
country by person who accompanied
the French troopsduring the Revolution.
The first dentist was established in New
York in 1888. George Washington's
false teeth were retained in the mouth
by spiral springs. In 1880 there were
300 dentists in the country; in 1S42,
1000; to-day, $4,000.
