Throw Not Pearl Before Swine.

VIM. w. Gilmer in Southern Planter.
Your request shall be complied with,
though there are many who could give
a fuller and better account of hog
raising than can.
The first thing necessary for raising
animals Of all sorts Except those pro-
duced from eggs, in which case an egg
will do is to procure male and fe-
male; these should be sound, well
formed, free from lice, mango, and all
other diseases, which they SO readily
communicate to their young. Sows
are injured by having pigs before they
are IA months old: they go 4 months
with pig. Never suffer them to APP
proach your barn or stable. Straw,
and especially litter from the stable,
will produce mango.
Keep them in winter in large
wood lot; make a good shelter for y
or 10; change the litter once a week,
and move the shelter once a month.
Hogs will have lice, for which use
lard freely; they should be creased
3 or four times year; occasionally
give little sulphur in meal do so in
good weather.
Give occasionally.ears of corn dip
ped in tar to prevent disease. Early
in April turn them on grass lot of green
swprd or blue grass; the hog is a cos
tive animal and requires grass in great
quantities.
Pigs should come from the first of
of February to the first of April with
good management at 10 or II months
old they should weigh $50 Or 200 lbs.
I had Is out of IS last year weighing
100 lbs. at 6 months.
Your slops, soap-suds, and every
thing of the kind should be preserved
and carried out every day. Make long
troughs, narrow at the bottom to pre-
vent their getting in; put wheat bran
little meal, etc., with the slops.
Cut and spay young; It's better to

Value Of a Pnre- Bred Bull.
Spirit Of The Farm.

Spirit of The Farm.
Will it pay man to keep pure.bred
stock 4? asks stock man in the Rural
New Yorker. The reply to this de-
ponds upon very simple question, viz,
are pure,bred animals better than good
grades and are not high and well-bred
grades quite as productive as pure-bred
ones, figuring from a strict money point
of view? A pure>bred cow is too cost
ly to be kept merely for the sake Of her
milk and butter. A pure-bred bull is
worth more than any COW in the ratio
of his increase of stock. And it is a
well-known fact that very large pro-
portion of the grade COWS that have
been sired by pure-bred bulls are
equally valuable for dairyman, and
the grade Shorthorn and other steers
are as good beeves as the pure.bred
animals. This is a matter of expert
ance. Then, what can few associated
farmers afford to pay for an excellent
thoroughbred bull for the improve
ment of their herds This is bringing
the question down to practical busi>
ness point.
A good Shorthorn or Devon bull
will sire fifty calves year for ten
years. A common scrub steer four
years old will make 1000 pounds, live
weight, worth Sc. pound OF $4,000.
A half>bred Shorthorn or Devon grade
steer, three years old, will make 1 400
pounds, or $1,000. 1t costs some
thing less for one years less feeding
and herding, say $500. The difference
in value, then, is $40. 90; and, multiply.
ing the annual produce of 80 by 40 we
get 50, 25O as the yearly gain, Or $22,'
500 in ten years. If the stockman i;
satisfied with so per cent. on his In
vestment, he can afford to give exactly
SO, $50 for his bull. This sum produces
$1,S75 every year, or S1S,750 in ter
years, and this, with the price of the
bull makes the total sum mentioned
The owner can very well afford to bury
the profitable animal at the end of hi
term and put marble monument ovel
him, or stuff his hide and mount it in {
glass case and sacrifice the actual value
of his carcass.
This is no fancy figuring, on the con
trary we have given the scrub more
weight, as four-year-old, than he il
entitled to, for few of them will draw
over 900, and we have also allowed
him the same market price as thu
grade, and he is not entitled to this by
one>half or three>quarters of cent
there is a greater difference even thar
this in our stock>pen prices here at thi
time. If we are wrong will Cockrill o.
Hicks put us right.

What shall the Boys Do?

Parents are continually confronted
with this question. Many parents
answer it wrongly. The father de-
sires that his sons shall not undergo
the toll and self-denial that he has
undergone, forgetting, or perhaps not
realizing in any proper sense, that it
was that toll and that self.denial that
made him the man he is. The mother
hes her foolish notions about the re.
spectability of certain grades Of en-
ployment which enable those following
to wear good clothes and exhibit few
OF the superficial evidences of refine
ment and culture. The boy, with his
inexperience and inability to look be.
low the surface of things, is easily led
to follow the well.intended but foolish
judgement of his parents and COM
mences life by swelling the list. of
book keepers without ledger, doctors
without patients, lawyers without eli
ents and genteel clerks without en-
ployment.
The first thing the parent or teacher
should do is to study carefully the
boys aptitudes. Having done this he
should be taught that any kind of labor
is honorable, and that what he could
do best should be his calling, no mat
ter whether it is to make shoes or car
riages, to raise cattle or butcher them.
Many boy who might in time become
good farmer, owning a farm and
home of his own, becomes an indiffer
ent and.to.mouth salesman in store
at salary that will only barely KEEP
soul and body together and provide nc
accumulation for sickness or old age,

Conversation.

A ready, easy and discreet talker Is
one of the rarest characters met with
in society. And yet there is scarcely a
single other accomplishment that can
render one SO charming as can this.
We are filled with admiration for him
at once, and if he be a person of fair
character we find ourselves craving his
friendship, that we may revel in the
luxury of the words that fall from his
lips. Good conversational powers give
man an influence among his fellows
that he would never WELD without it.
and he who would help to elevate his
race can do no better than to cultivate
this rare gift. We also are in sorry
need of it in our homes. There is great
and lasting good to be accomplished by
the parents in molding the characters
of their, children and developing their
young minds, to say nothing of the i'm
portant work of perfecting their con-
versational powers, by simply convers-
ing well in the family circle. Children
are good listeners and admirable imi-
tators; they will hear what you say and
note how you say it. If you allow your
table and fireside talks to be groveling
in their nature, or gossip or in any way
unworthy of you as cultivated men and
women, you need expect nothing better
of the children than that they will talk
as father and mother do. If you in
dulge in expressive" slang. so will
they, and much also that is neither ex-
pressive nor tit for ''ears polite"
The ability to talk well has been said
by one of our modern writers to be
among the lost arts. But we cannot
agree with him fully. The professional
cOnversatiOnalist, who crammed for
occasion and prepared his talk for a
dinner party with as much care as the
cook her viands, has doubtless become
almost a thing of the past, and no one
will be sorry when the few remaining
species of the genus shall be numbered
with their kind; but there is style of
conversation rs vastly different from
this as is day from night, and that is
the spontaneous expression of truth
from a well-stored mind, or of the SEN
timents of pure heart full of love for
humanity.
In the first case, the man crammed

other, with no ambition to crafty and

The very selfish man is never a good
talker. He may have a glib tongue
and a goodly store of information, but
the all-important .I'' will assert itself
SO continuously that his most devoted
if we except himself from the
list, will be wearied from the verge of

find the true secret of good converse

man to forget self and become inter-
ested in Others. But this will be found

Prof. Huxley on Elementary Teaching.

There are great many people who
imagine that elementary teaching might
be properly carried out by teachers pro-
vided with only elementary knowledge.
Let me assure you that that is the pro-
foundest mistake in the world. There
is nothing so difficult to do as to write
a good elementary book, and there is
nobody so hard to teach properly and
well as people who know nothing about
a subject; and will tell you why. If /
address an audience of persons who are
occupied in the same line of work as
myself can assume that they know a
vast deal, and that they can find out the
blunders l make. If they don't, it is
their fault and not mine; but when |

know nothing about the matter, who
take for gospel whatever l say. surely
it becomes needful thatI consider what

bear examination and that 1 do
not impose upon the credulity of those
who have faith in me. In the second
place, it involves that difficult process of
knowing what you know so well that
YOU can talk about it as you can talk
about your ordinary business. A man
can always talk about his own business.
He can always make it plain; but if his
knowledge is hearsay he is afraid to 90
beyond what he has recollected and
put it before those that are ignorant in
such shape that they shall compre.
bend it. That is why, to be good ele-
mentary teacher, to teach the elements
Of any subject. re,f.ires most careful
consideration if you are master of the
subject; and if you are not a master OF
it it is needful you should familiarize
yourself with SO much as you are called
upon to teach-soak yourself in it. so to
speak-until you know it as part OF
your daily life and daily knowledge, and
then you will be able to teach anybody.
That is what l mean by practical
teachers, and although the deficiency
is being remedied to a large extent, I
think it is one which has long existed,
and which has existed from no fault OF
those who undertook to teach, but be-
cause until within the last score years
it absolutely was not possible for any
one in a great many branches of science,
whatever his desire might be, to get in
structiOn which would enable him to be
a good teacher of elementary things.
All that is being rapidly altered, and !
hope it will soon become a thing of the
past. "-Nature.

Strange Loss Of Sight.

In the course of a recent debate on
vivisection in the Prussian Landtag,
the Minister of Public Worship, Won
Gossler. cited the following remarkable
case "a young lady, belonging to an
aristocratic family in Konigsberg, grad
ually lost her power of vision, until at
last she was entirely blind. Her eye,
on being examined, was found to be
perfectly sound, whence it followed
that the seat of her trouble must be in
the brain. All treatment proved I'M
availing until the discovery was made
that she had received some months
previously heavy blow on the head
from falling board. Professor Munck,
the famous experimentalist who exam
ined her, convinced the oculist and the
surgeon that the affected part must be
that section of the brain which his ex-
periments on monkeys had proved to
be the central station for sensations of
sight. The blow had evidently injured
the membrane of the brain. This made
perforation of the skull necessary
very difficult Operation-which, how
ever, in this case was comparatively
simple, because the exact locality in
the brain was known, whereas in the
case of Prince whose skull was per-
forated for similar reason, previous
to DIR. Munck's discoveries, the opera
ton had to be repeated thirty-two
times. The young lady recovered her
syesig hit completely"

Harvey Jewell (who was so well and

very queer and unusual experience,

He was a peculiar looking man. His

into the elevator with others, and was
startled to hear: Are you ready? from
the man in charge. She was still nsDre

stepped out, and the other occupants

man remained. The elevator machin-
