Mr.. Long, of Jasper County, tried
the following in thousands of cases,
and neuer had a failure: Make con-
centrated lye into good soap by the
usual rule (in other words, get some
native soap), take one pail of soap
to 80 hogs, add water and 2 lb. Of
copperas, boil, add dish water or
milk till you have what SO hogs will
drink. Give it to animals warm.
Scatter two pounds of sodain troughs
just as the hogs come up to drink
After second day, skip one. If the
hoSs will not drink in any other way.
add new milk, or put in sugar.
Mr.. Long had such faith in the
above remedy, that he offered to pay
10 cts. a pound for every hog he
could not cure, provided the animal
could drink.
Now, Messrs. Editors, the above
is sufficiently crude; but as | know
several in Rugby and neighborhaod
who are extremely anxious about
their swine, and who cannot refer to
any remedy, l thought it advisable
to place the above prescriptions at
their disposal at once.

Ayoung dairyman asks, ,in.choosing
a dairy farm what kind of soil would
be the best-clay, light loan, gravel
or limestone?
AS rule the best dairy districts
are those in which lime and potash
rocks prevail, and grass grows spon-
taneously. Amy soil that produces
blue grass luxuriantly, provided it is
we'll watered, is excellent for the
dairy. But it is not only the soil
that is to be considered; the char
acter of the surface is equally i'm
portant. Low, marshy, wet land can
never be made a good dairy farm,
although it may be made so by
drainage if the soil is of the right
kind. Lime and potash abounds in
soils that are filled with mica, the
fine glistening particles of which
are so conspicuous upon such land.
High rolling land where cool springs
and rapidly running streams abound
should be chosen in preference to
any other, for the water is one of
the characteristics of a good dairy
regiOn.-Prairie Farmer.

WHY THEY WANT OUR WHEAT

The Chicago NsrS says that a marked
feature in our breadstutfs trade continues
to be the largely increased exports of
flour Thus. for eight months ending
February %, 1881, the exports OF Amer
can flour, amounted to 2SG14 GOO bush
els reducing barrels to bushels. against
Il, $40, 600 bushels for the corresponding
eight months of 1882. This is gain of II
per cent. Mr.. John Miller, Il prominent
English milling authority. admits that
this development is due to the superior
chemical properties of the Northwestern
wheats. 1T is. says Mr. Miller. the
flour made from the wheats at Giinnea-
polls and other riverside mills which is
being poured into England captivating
the trade of our bakers, and placing
home manufacture at a discount-not be
cause it is roller made flour (not 10 per
cent of it is made by rol!ers) but because
it is more scientifically manufactured
1t is simply because it is made from
wheats possessing stronger chemical
constitution than any we can here obtain
to form the basis of English flour" Mr..
Miller gives the wheats of Hungary the
first place, as he says, the best produc-
tions of American are not equal to No.
3 Hungarian. The point he deplores is
that the ma jor part of the wheat English
mlllcrs get from outward sources has
been rejected by native millerS in the
countries where the grain is raised.

Pacific States are likely to derive as much
profit from their ;rut and kitchen ycgc-
tables as from their COLA and silver. Ia
cilities for shipment are now such that
both fresh fruit and vegetables from Ca
ifornia and Oregon are sent to Atlantic

development is likely to be very ;apil.

advantage both as to quality and price.

the reorganized church, and her son
Joseph, a man of fifty, is now one of the
three presidents of the church. There
is another Joseph Smith, who is one of
the three first presidents of the | tab
church, IA fact which has caused the mis-
apprehension in regard to this one. These
Mormons maintain that poiygamy was
never practised by the original Smith,
but was announced falsely after his
death by Brigham Young, who said it
had been revealed to him by Smith.
There are belonging to the church, in
all parts of the world, 3o,000 communi-
cants, term which includes children
over eight years of age. Missionary Blair
reports that he and his brother laborers
in Utah have had good success among the
Brigham Young MormonS. We doubt
whether even the notice these monoga-
nous Mormons have received lately in
the papers will give them - boom suf
ficient to strengthen them materially.
The elements of life in the old Mormon
constitution are too feeble. Brigham
was wise in his own way when he an
nounced the new revelation, which en-
listed on the side of the church some Of
the strongest passions and enabled men
to serve the Devil in the livery OF Heaven.
