Considerable difficulty is experienced
by many in raising pork by reason of their
pigs becoming crippled and losing the use
of their limbs. We have known several
who were obliged to slaughter their pigs.
which were so iniirm as to he unable even
to stand up. The trouble lies in the an
imafs bones, and arises from deficiency
of lime, a sufficient amount of which cives
them strength and stiffness. From this it
results that if the pig has a strong, we'll
developed framework he must eat food
which coutaiqs az abundance of lime
and about the only one which farmers give
their hogs, is very deficient in lime.
100 pounds of corn meal fed should give
26.4 pounds of pig growth. This 100
pounds Of meal contains only 03 pounds
OF lime. whereas the 26.4 pounds of pig
should contain Al of lime or over ii times
as much as the corn furnished. Those
who depend mainly on concentrated foods
should add some source of lime, fine
ground bone meal, chalk or finely sifted
wood ashes.

and for long time my ease was regarded as

said mnst die. Finally, my wife induced

bottle of druggist in our village l used
that and two or three bottle more, and-to
make long story short--I am now as healthy
man as there is in the country.
Since then have recommended Favorite

A Lovely Ball Dress.

Kate Field writes in ''Our Continent" the
new Philadelphia illustrated weekly:
"A lovely hall dress lately made is Of white
satin and silver striped gauze broche. The
short skirt is of white satin, with two plea.ed
tounees OF the same on the bottom. Each
hounce is four inches wide, and from under
the lowest peeps the edge of Bursno lace
halayeuse. The tablier and hip drapcriss
are formed of the gauze looped low on one
side and high on the other and in the back.
Large crystal, pearl and silver-bead orna-
ments, with cords and tassels, fasten the
draperies at the points where they are caught
up TO form the paniers and tablier. The low
Grecian corsage is of striped gauze broche
with bertha of Spanish lace and ruffies of
the same in lieu of sleeves. II is pointed
back and front, and laces behind with silver
cords terminating in pearl and crystal bead
tassels."

Worms prepare the ground in an ex.
cellent manner for the growth of fibrous-
rooted plants and for seedlings of all
kinds. They periodically expose the mould
TO the air, and slit it so that no stones
larger than the particles which they can
swallow are left in it. They mingle the
whole intimately together, like II gardner
who prepares fine soil for his choicest
plants. In this sta'e il is well-fitted to
retain moisture and to absorb all soluble
substances, as well as for the process of
nitrification. The bones of dead animals.
the harder parts of insects. the shells of
land molluscs, leaves, twigs. etc. are be-
fore long all buried beneath the numerous
castings of worms. and are thus brought.
in more or less decayed state, within
reach of the roots of plants. Worms
likewise drag an infinite number of dead
leaves and other parts of plants into their
burrows, partly for the sake of plugging
them up and partly as food"

Cranberry culture is another profitable
branch of farming in which our farmers
may engage. One Manchester farmer
sold $50 worth last season, from a small
bog, and in the spring he will prepare
more land for the reception of cranberry
plants. This gentleman's farm is ad-
jacent to large pond, from the shore of
which he procures sand. and the sods hav-
ing been removed from the land, he
spreads it on 10 depth of from four to
six inches before setting out the plants.
for the purpose of keeping down the
growth of weeds and grass.
