A Plea Torthe Pig.

The result of judicious breeding and
good care Is n product of wholesome
pork. iit for the most fastidious taste.
IL has been the rule TO ignore the right.

where he becomes simply the farm

TO eat up the remains. and to minole
with this refuse, the dirt, and in many
cases germs Of disease, left IL by its
more fortunate fellow candidates for the
market. II the farmer has anything
about his premises, which no other
class OF stock will touch, because of its
repulsive character. the swine are call
ed upon and expected to regale them
selves with the unsavory mess. Whole
droves of swine are fed in this way for
two-thirds of every year, and Just be-
fore killing time in order to present
good round bodies, aRd to ret all the
lard possible, they are Stuffed with de-
cent feed and called corn-fed hogs. The
germs OF disease, however, have been
planted previous 90 this time, and the
Unfortunate "scavenger" goes to the
block or packing houses in some in
stances, in diseased condition caused
by unwholesome feed, nasty pens and
other Objectionable features which are
the result OF n system of almost Grim
inal neglect.
To insure wholesome pork, cleanliness
and good wholesome food are necessary,
and the apparent 'carelessness on the
part OF some men in preparing swine
Tor the market,isto say the least, highly
ccnsurable. Pigs. from the time they
are weaned. should be afforded clean
quarters, succulcnt green food as well rs

Dangerous Funeral Appliances.

The possible agency of the undertaken
in disseminating infectious diseases is not
sufficiently regarded by health authori-
ties. In many places public funerals are
prohibited in cases of infectious disease,
yet they are the rule rather than the ex-
ception the country over.
When the funeral services are held in
private houses, it is n common thing for
the undertaken To provide chairs or camp
stools for the multitude. These are car
ried from house to house. and are liable
10 become. carriers of infection. Some
careful undertakers may take the trouble
to disinfect such appliances in all cases
of possible infections; but we doubt its
being done very generally.
The ice-bOXes, in which the dead are
laid until the time of burial comes, are
still more liable TO carry the germs OF
disease The ics-boxes are costly, are
seldom renewed. and are-scarcely more
frequently disinfected. That they are n
source of public peril is gradually be-
coming recognized by physicians and
Boards Of Health; and not a few have
taken an interest in the devisiHy OF
means for their displacement. The most
promising substitute is the injection OF
preserving fluids into the ciroulatory
system. Quite number of prominent
undertakers in this citysand Brooklyn
are reported as having adopted the new
plan. Demonstrations OF the process of
injecting preservative fluids have been
made in the dead house of Bellevue Hos
pital. No mutilation of the body is re-
quired further than the opening of an
artery for the injection OF the fluid.
There are several fluids which answer
for the purpose, and the cost of embalrn-
ing is said TO be little IL any greater than
the charge for the use of an ice box.
A careless embalmer may still be a
carrier of infection. bat il would seem to
be easier TO enforce precautionary meas
ures In the case of a man than with the
bulky and variously exposed ice-box,

Singular Recovery Of a Lost Ring.

= Several months ago alady residing OF
Beacon Street took off number of rings
from her fingers and laid them upon the
dressing table. After washing her hands
she returned to the room to replace hel
rings, when to her establishment one OF
/. them, diamond ring, was missing.
She was certain that she took the ring
from her finger, and equally certain thai
no one could have entered the room
without her knowledge during the five
minutes she had been in the bathroom.
A most rigid search was instituted, but
the missing ring, valued at $500, was
not found A few weeks since the lady
was much annoyed by mice. Almost
nightly they held their revels.s They
not only destroyed her sleep, but choice
laces were mutilated. The lady procured
trap, one of the old-fashioned kind,
and having baited it with tempting bit
of cheese, placed it near the scene of
depredations. On the following morn
ing she had three fine silky mice of vari-
Gus sizes. One of them was so peculiar.
ly constructed that it attracted her at.
tention, as it appeared to have a string
tied around its body. The servant girl
was instructed to drown the captives and
reset the trap, and she was about throw
ing the dead mice into the dnt barrel
when her eye was attracted by a sparkle
from what proved to be the lost diamond
ring, which was not perceptible when
the mouse was alive, but which came to
light after the severe soaking which the
mouse received, 1t is supposed in his
haste to get away thath he ran his head
through the ring, and subsequent strug-
giles only forced it over his forelegs,
where it remained. This is. a tough
story, but we give it as it was told

Useful Hints About Horses.

A prominent veterinary surgeon has
given the following useful but simple
little items regarding the care of the
horse for publication. They are matters
that can easily be attended to by any
horse owner, and may be useful at all
times if cut out and pasted up on the
grain bin or some similar place about
the stable. Says he, tersely: Give horses
salt frequently. Road horses should
have their front feet stuffed with flax
seed meal twice week. Don't hook
your horse to sleigh the same as to
your wagon, but give him more trace,
The hand pieces Of driving reins fire
quently become smooth from use, caus
ing the hand to shift. In such
cases rub the lines with powdered
resin. Tar is one of the most
useful articles to be kept about a
stable. Internally use a teaspoonful
night and morning for Oh onic coughs;
externally it is particularly ugefuI in
thrush and all diseases and wounds of
the foot. Mixed with fish oil it is one
of the best remedies for hard or brittle
feet When horses overreach lengthen
the hind shoes; when they hit the front
of the hind feet have the toe of thefront
shoes made narrow and conceived on the
inside. For n horse that "puHs'' use
the overcheek with strap attached over
tn. nose and under the lower Jaw. For
AN extra hard .mouthed horse use a four
rng bit. Have s'de loop ON the front
OF the Overcheck, so that it can be
moved up and dowi,, rs may be sreuf fr-.
ed; then have the check pieces and
Overcheck attached to the loose RINGS.
and the driving lines alone to the large
rings. Skunk cabbage is sal to be good
for heaves in teaspoonful doses night
and morning. Noistens the hay and
grain. BE a'eful with the diet. Never
work n heavy horse on full stomach.
Steel bits should be kept in a warm
place until they are placed in. the horses
mouth. ANY person can realize the
sensation of placing cold bit in the
horses mouth by rirst touching it with
his own tongue. An excellent remedy
for mango is: Oil of tn pentine. one
