VALUE OF SKINNED MILK FOR FATTEN-
ING PIGs-lhere has been and is yet a
great deal of contradictory discussion and
evidence as to the value of skinned milk
for growing and fattening pigs. A scale
and booked test of its value has recently
been made by Mr. ID G. Allen of Michi-
gan, and of it he writes thus to the New
York Tribune: september IS, two pigs
weighed 100 1-2 pounds. They were shut
up and fed exclusively on skinned milk.
Sept %, they weighed 124 1-2 pounds,
having consumed 277 pounds of milk. At
the end OF another week, under the same
treatment, they weighed 1879 3 4 pounds,
and had consumed 375 pounds ofmilk. Al
the end of another week they weighed 1862
pounds, and had consumed 200 pounds of
milk and 30 pounds of whole old corn.
They were weighed each time Monday
morning before being fed. 1t will be
observed that the second week shows a
poorer result than either Of the others.
This was caused by their being fed by an
ltishman, who stuffed them all they could
drink much of the time, and it secured
them. | would like to know if others have
secured better results with skinned milk,
whether handled in this or any other way"

One of our correspondents asks us if she
should fold her napkin on leaving the
table
AT fashionable meal, no. At a social
tea or breakfast. yes, il her hostess does
so. We have no absolute law on this
subject.
But at fashionable dinner no one folds
his napkin. He lets it drop or leaves it
by the side of his plate unfolded When
the fruit napkin arrives he takes that from
the glass plate on which it is laid land either
places it at his right hand or lays it on his
lap, and The illuminated rag" as some
wit called the little embroidered doyey,
which is not meant for use, is carefully
examined and commented upon, its
embroidery admired and it is then laid on
the table beside the finger bowl. These
pretty little fancies, not being used, can
serve several times the purpose of orna-
menting the finger bowl.
And let every lady who aspires to
elegant housekeeping remember that she
must never allow the same napkin to he
put on her table twice. Once used, it
must be sent to the wash before it comes
on the table again. -Ba@aar.
We think it sufficiently elegant for the
family for each member to use his napkin
several times 1t will not be much soled
ordinarily and will save much work
While we would not sacrifice comfort, we
think there is often too much stress laid
on things which are necessary for style
only, and which in effects take rs much |
from the happiness Of some member or
other of the family, as their presence or
practise gives.
Comfort and elegance, solid and real,
and not much put on for appearance sake

Our own patent remedy for bad bulls
has always been first to cut as much of
the horn off as the breeder is willing to
spare. The nearer to the head the better.
Then when taken out of the stall he should
be bindfolded. Some arrangement of
Opaque goggles should be devised. Can
some of our inventors make pair of
sightless specacles that are not offensive
to look upon, but that will render bull
helpless? We have often seen bulls that
had been put in this condition with the
shot gun where it was mere choice
between the shot gun and the rife, but
we are opposed to each of them. 1t is
true, however, that blindness, even per
manent, has no evil effect upon tho bull,
and certainly a little temporary depriva-
ton of the pleasure of sight can be no
great hardship to him, while it is of great
value in saving the life not only of the
man who handles the bull, but in the end
saves the life of the bull himself. The
only question is how can it be done with,
out marring his beauty and be only tenn.

No MYSTERY ABOUT BREEDING AT the
late Meeting of the society for the promo
ton of agricultural science held at Mon
treal, Canada, one of the topics down for
discussion was "to discover and systema'
tize the principles of stock breeding" Mr..
Wallaoe,in his Monthly, prods the eminent
scientists for the announcement OF this
profound object in tho following rather
unmerclul manner, These learned
gentlemen suppose that there is some
hidden mystery in stock breeding, and
they set themselves to work to "discover"
that mystery. So long as they keep on
that track their voyage of discovery
will never end. There is no mystery
about it, and there is nothing to be dis
covered" except the man with sense
enough to breed to what he wants. All
the talk about intricate combinations OF
blood to produce certain results. may do
very well for theosists, but with practical
and successful people it is little short of an
insult to their intelligence. The law Of
the case is so simple and plain, 80 far
removed from everything that requires
discovery" that little child can under
stand it. Breed to what you want. That
is all the discovery" that the Ceilings or
Bickwels or anybody else ever made in
improving domestic animals. 1t was not
in breeding nor out breeding nor cross
breeding that did it. but the good iudg'
ment in selecting and mating animals
with the qualifications sought for. If you
ask the average college professor how to
improve the horse, he will tell you to 60
to the Arab, with utmost confidence. II
you tell him the Arab is not able to run
with the race horse or trot with the trotter,
the poor man is overwhelmed with the
mystery, and sets about to discover the
principles of stock breeding" The trouble
is he has no practical knowledge of the
subject, and he accepts as true what col
lege professors have said for hundred
years. lie fails to realize that horses,
like dogs, nre now bred for special
adaptions and qualifications. and that the
only way to secure these qualifications, is
to breed the animal possessing them.
Wanting pointer dog, he would be a
veritablc fool who would 60 10 the grey |
hound, or wanting trotting horse, he
would be no better who would go to the
Arab. Beyond the exercise of sound |
judgment in selecting the best representa-
tive of line possessing and transmitting |
the qualities desired, there is no compiled
ton, no mystery, and no discovery" to
be made.

A COSTLY MEADow.-A farmer has
Il swamp meadow which he has been
trying to reclaim for dozen years. Each
year he has cut the brush and the weeds
in the fall when the roots and seeds were
ripe, and each spriag he has turned his
COWS out to pick what early grass there
was on it, and they have trcdden in the
bitches, which each year the owner has
cleared out and today. after so much
work would have cleared, drained, spaded
and even leveled and seeded the whole 10
acres, the ground is us useless us it was at
first, and it is covered with u tangle
of poison sumac, bur, brakes and tail
weeds, through which man could not
pass And 50 it will remain until the
>pring, when the fire will be put to it, and
the mess burned off, to grow up again us
before, when the ground might be made
to produce at least three tons of hay every
year if 1t was properly reclaimed piece 10y
piece and each piece finished. How many
farmers spend days every year cutting
brush about their farms. which, if thor
oughly grubbed out, would be completely
destroyed, and the land then put to some
profitable Exchange.
And that swamp meadow would have
been reclaimed if he had dug his bitches
deep enough, and laid down good drains
This halfway method of doing business is
the most costly one, as it has to be done
over and over again and after all does no
good. Do thoroughly what you do, and
in no work that we now think of does it
pay a better profit than in draining and
retaining swamp meadows.
