When Houston was running for Gov

bitterly opposed his election. After
the election, and when t was known
that the old veteran had been chosen.
the warden became exceedingly friend
". He came to General Houston and
endeavored to plead his own cause for
reappointment. The general receiv-
ed him most cordially aud expressed
himself as very much delighted to see
him. He inquired in what way he
could serve him. WELL said the war

Winter Feeding of Fowls.

The health of fowls, especially in
cold weather, depends greatly on the
regularity and frequency of feeding.
As corn is the staple grain, it should
be kept within reach of the fowls, so
that they may help themselves at
pleasure, and thus they will regulate
the quantity taken at one time as suits
their convenience and comfort. Fill
ing the crop is injurious at all times,
and particularly so in severe weather.
A large fowl, when stinted, and seeing
corn but twice, and often but once in
a day, will fill the crop to repletion,
taking in half pint or more at feed.
This chills the fowl, and if inclined to
be tender, brings on indigestion, which
is difficult to manage at that season
The fowls must be attended to, and il
is no small matter where the focks are
large to keep steady supply of water
when the weather is so severe that it
freezes in a few hours. They must
also have warm shelter. comfortable
roosts, and ground floor for scratching
Laying hens are active, and their ac
tiyity must be promoted.

A Lawyers Advice to a Thief.

Ex- x-Secretary Evarts is wonderful
ly effective realization of the musty,
crusty, dignified old lawyer. He is the
last man in the world to take liberties
with, and yet he told me, to illustrate
his assertion that there is nothing too
mean for some persons to expect law
yer to do, of professional thief ask
ing his advice as to how to steal with
the greatest possible safety. This fel-
low insisted on private interview. re.

dinate.

al last seated in front of the states

The Changes in Swine.

AS in other industries, there ap-
pears to be continuous changing Of
opinion, or as it might be called, fash
ion, in swine production. Among
these changes, as has been stated, is
the one of color--from almost total
white to almost total black. The ex
PLANTATION of this is, that the more
practical farmers who raise swine most
largely. have found, or at least believe
they have, that the dark haired hogs
have a darkness and vigor that enables
them to withstand the blistering suns,
the biting frosts, alluvial mud and
other vicissitudes incident to their be-
ing reared on so many of the compare
lively unimproved farms in the great
Mississippi Basin. Another change
is from raising those hogs that weigh
ed thousand pounds to such as are
considered satisfactory if weighing a
third of that. Still another is the
desire, that for two or three years bas
been gaining possession of large
number of good men, to raise one of
the different sorts Of "red' hogs.
There are some really superior speci-
mems among these, but majority of
them as bred and shown in the West
are ungainly and lacking in finish.
However, improvement is being made
in the 'sred' hogs, and it is by no
means impossible that they may afford
foundation for, or portion of, COM
bination that shall in the future be
even superior as pork makers and for
breeding to anything the swine raisers
at present possess.
A still further change, or rather
advance, is the founding within few
years passed of pedigree registers for
swine. This was begun by the cham
pions of the Berkshlres IN America
Cor more properly 1llinois), followed
by three, if not four, separate associa-
tions of Poland China breeders, with
as many different Records and just
now by Berkshire breeders in England
and those in America who are believers
in what they have officially designated
as Jersey Red, or Duroc" swine.
As rule, these changes are in the
direction of improvement, but in gen.
eral quality such as high standard has
now been attained that further i'm
provement in that direction must, it
would seem, be slow in the future as
compared with the recent past, and
those who accomplish it will need to
have perseverance, patience, and skill.

Harvesting and Storeing Turnips.

On this topic an Indiana farmer
writes: 81 believe it is very common
mistake to harvest turnips to early.
The flavor and the keeping quality of
turnips are both improved by harvest
ing them late rather than early. 1t
seems to me that as turnips are less
apt to be injured by cold than by heat,
storing them in bulk incurs some
risk. The roots often become heated,
causing dormant buds to start. For
these reasons l harvest late and store
in trenches. The trenches are two
feet deer, about foot and half wide
and of any desired length. l put the
turnips in, filling the trench about
half way to the top, then l put on a
light covering of soil. AS the weather
becomes more severe | add more COW
ering until the trench is full.

Eating at Night.

Popularity, says a Boston physician,
it is thought injurious; but unless
dinner or supper has been late, or the
stomach disorded, it is harmless and
beneficial, /. e., if one be hungry
Four to five hours having elapsed
since the last meal, invalids and the
delicate should always eat at bedtime.
This seems heretical, but it is not
Food of simple kind will induce sleep
Animals after eating instinctively
sleep. Human beings become drowsy
after a full meal. Why? Because
blood is solicited toward the stomach
to supply the juices needed in dises-
ton. Hence the brain receives less
blood than during fasting, becomes
pale, and the powers grow dormant.
Sleep therefore ensues. This is physi
illogical. The sinking sensation in
sleeplessness is call for food. Wake
fulness often is merely symptom OF
hunger. Crafty tie desire and you

True. Yet when hungry we should
eat. Does the infant stomach rest aS
long as the adults? The latter eats
less often merely because food requires
more time for digestion. Seldom can
one remain awake until half-past 10
or II P. NJ. without hunger. Satisfy
it, and sleep will be sounder.

Shrinkage of Shelled Corn.

By actual trial last season one hun
dred bushels of shelled corn shrank to
ninety bushels between December and
May. 1t was put in tight bin, and
the shriukage was entirely from eva
poration. Add to this the frequent
loss from vermin and the loss of in
terest for five months, and the corn
grower who proposes to "hold for a
higher price" has some data for de-
lining whether it pays or not.
