A FARMER complains that it cost him
twenty-five dollars to raise q pig
weighing one hundred and forty
pounds. That was pretty steep. A
man raised pig weighing one hun
dred and forty pounds, in a street car,
the other day, and it only cost him five
dollars and cos.s. The pig was :mok-
ing and swearing in the presence OF
ladies, and the man raised him with
his boot OFF the car into the street. The
magistrate said he raised him a little
too emphatically. The pig landed on
his snUut.

AGRICULTURE.

KEEP PURE-BREED Fowls, Aside
from the greater pleasure which 1t
affords, it pays better to keep and breed
pure-bred fowls than to breed and feed
lot of mongrels, which latter many
do for fear Of the expense of buying a
few pure-bred fowls TO start with. In
determining which breed of fowls to
get. make up your mind at the start
that no one breed can or does possess
all the desirable qualities you are In
search of. IL you wish a breed for lay
ing. get Leghorns or Hambargers; ii
you wish breed for weight, get some
of the Brahams or Cochinsg and if you
wish a breed principally for ornament,
get the Polish: but give up the idea OF
getting a grand combination of all
these qualities in one breed. Make up
your mind what you wish, in the way
of fowls and then select such breeds as
win answer those requirements best.
Give them good, comfortable quarters,
supply them literally with food ana
water, giving them requisite care aud
attention aud you Will never have
cause to regret your investment in
pure-bred fowls. When your neigh
bors see what fine birds you have, they
will naturally want some or them, or
a setting of the eggs, and thus will a
demand be created which will amply
repay your first outlay of cash and sub
seQuent trouble aud expense. If you
had bred nothing but mongrels, there
would have been little or no demand,
and then merely market pricess Al
good trio OF pure-bred fowls, OF almost
any kind, can now be bought at fair
figures from reliable breeders, In most
sections OF the country.

DOMESTIC ATING QUAILs.-That the
common wild quail of the prairies can
be domesticated is established without
doubt. The writer OF this has seen sew
eral aocks of them, and accounts of
successful domestication has been pub
lished In papers In various parts ofthe
country during the past two or three
years. A writer in st. Louis psper
says: ''I have frequently seen, from
time TO time in the past forty years,
quails raised about farmers houses,
and as tame as pet chickens with which
they associated. Were it not that the
wild quails, in the farm fields, entice
the tame ones away, there Is no more
difficulty in raising these birds and in
keeping them from straying than there
is in raising bantam chickens. Although
never attempting 10 raise qualls from
the eggs, have, myself, during the
several hard winters, sufficiently do
mesticated the wild ones by feeding
them, as 10 have them come at call tor
the Iood gave them daily, in order 10
save them from ptrlshIng, aud for
breeding them the following season.
True, they became shy again when
quit ministering 10 their wants. But
the ordinary dOmesticated fowls do
this, and when they are reared in the
fields and woods, away from the haunrs
OF man." L have seen them as villa as
euails ever become.
