Salt and Lime.

The following is recommended as an
excellent combination for fertilizing pur-
poses: Mix one bushel of salt with two
bushels Of dry lime, under cover, and
allow the mixture to decompose grad
uaily, thus forming an intimate chemical
union of the two materials. For this
purpose the mixture should lie at least six
weeks before use, or, still better, two or
thfee months, the heap being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty to thirty bushels per acre, forms
an excellent top dressing for crops. 1t
aS's powerfully on the vegetable matter
Oh soils, Fifty bushels applied to a
turnip-lield have produced as large a
crop as twenty loads of barnyard ma
hure' 1t is also very destructive to in
oectS and grubs in the soil. Like salt, it
aVUacts moisture from the air, and has
geeh found useful against drouth. Its
a;SeCyomposIng power is remarkable, and
II tlree or four bushels of it are mixed
WIN WIN cord of swamp muck the latter
VIII soon be reduced topowder. Coarse
manure Is in similar manner decom-
posed and made fine. Sour, wet muck
uuS treated and composted with barn
y'u manure constitutes a fertilizer al
a usoSl as valuable as the unmixcd manure

Cooked Feed for Hogs.


We have steadily contended that any
farmer could make his corn go twice as
far in feeding hogs by cooking it before
feeding, as to deal il out in the ear in the
old pell-mell way of feeding raw in the
ear, sometimes throwing it in the mud
and sometimes feeding on dirty floor
Upto the present time we only have eX-
periments made on a very limited scale
in this matter, but these have all thus
far fully justified the opinion we have
repeatedly expressed, that boiled corn
can be made to 60 twice as far in feeding
hogs rs dry whole corn will go, and the
feeding power OF given amount of corn
can be doubled with Il vast deal less
labor than would be required to raise a
double or two crops OF corn. Like any
other business, 1t will, of course, require
proper fixtures for grinding and boiling
the corn for feeding hogs on full scale
in this way. As to the experiments that
have been made IN this matter one OF our
exchanges says:
"A long series OF experiments made
w FARMER VINO found pork-maklng the
most prohtaole part OF farming and
VINO submitted everything to weigh

old orchardist on Lake Champlain
dropped the remark in my hearing that
hardy and healthy tree might be
pruned at any time without this result,
and that in any case where it occurred
the tree would be found to be black
hearted. My observation since has con
trmed that opinion.

The o Girl.

A rather singular marriage occurred
In this village a short time ago, and one,
too, which promises to be a happy one,
Notwithstanding the fact that it was not
even dreamed of by the parties interested
an hour before it occurred. A young
gentleman met a young lady of his ac-
quaintance, who is employed in of
the hat shops on the street, and in con-
v~ersation the young lady stated that
everything had gone wrong with her at
the shop that day and that she had the
"blues" terribly; in fact, she was about
ready to give up the fight for existence:
The young man responded that she could
triumph over all her difficulties by mar
rying him, and this meeting her views
the young couple started for the nearest
minister and were married. They are
now keeping house and living as happily
as though they had spent years in love-
making and trying to find out whether
they were adapted to each other.-Mtd-

bath. Found four gallons vitriol in It
and did not take it. Went to breakfast.
The Nihilists had placed two torpedoes
on the stairs, but I did not step on
them. The coffee smelled SO strongly
of Prussia acid that I was afraid to drink
it. Found a scorpion in my left slipper,
but luckily shook it out before putting
it On. just before stepping into the
carriage to go for my morning drive it
was blown into the air, killing the
coachmen and horses instantly. 1 did
not drive. Took a light lunch of
hermetically-sealed American canned
goods. They can't fool me there. Found
a poisoned dagger in my favorite chair,
with the point sticking out. Did not
sit down on it Had dinner at 6 o. m,
and made Baron Laischounowonski taste
every dish. He died before the soup
was carried away. Consumed some Bal
timore oysters and some London stout
