Making a Sow own Her Pigs.

A writer in the Husbandman says
that he had a Chester White SOW about
ready to drop her pigs. So that day he
made 1t his business to keep q close
watch of her. AS soon as the first pig
came she flew at it, and if it had not
been for him and a club which he had,
she would have killed it instantly, but
we got it away from her and as fast as
they came along she tried to kill them.
He managed to ave all but one of them
out Of eight. After she was through he
tried to get her to lie down and let the
pigs suck, but she would not have a nig
in the pen. So what to do with them he
did not know. He had heard to get q
cross SOW drunk would make her own
her pigs, but never had any taith in it,
yet he resolved to try the experiment.
So he got a pint Of alcohol and put it in
to four quarts OF our milk and stirred
in Il pint of corn meal and turned it
into her trough; she ate it and in about
twenty minutes was dead drunk. He
laid her out as he wanted her and then
put the seven pigs to her, and they
sucked all they wanted and then snug
gled down beside her and wentto sleep.
He got out and left them for the night,
and went to bed ut was then ten o'clock)
not expecting to find a live pig in the
morning. But, to his surprise, he found
them all alive and happy as clans, and
she was as proud of them as any SOW
could be,

Early in February, 1881, he decided tc
call on his friends for funds for further
purchases-in such a manner, however,
as would not yet disclose the real object
he sought to accomplish. Having abso.
lutte faith in the soundness of his pro-
iect, and feeling justified in taking large
responsibilities, as the assumption of
such was in the direct interest of all
concerned, and was the only sure means
of accomplishing his purpose, he de-
cided to make the strongest appeal any
man could make to the confidence of
others in him by asking his friends and
followers to place their money in
his hands without telling them
the use of which he intended to put it.
Accordingly he issued a private circular
to about fifty persons, informing them
that he desired them 10 subscribe toward
a fund of 5000, 900, to which he himself
would contribute a large part, in order
to enable him TO lay the foundation of a
certain enterprise, the exact nature of
which he would disclose thereafter. The
effect of the announcement was marvel
GUS. The very mystery of it appeared
to be an irresistible attraction. The re-
suit was that one-third of the persons
appealed to signed the full amount asked
for before the subscription list could
reach the other two-thirds. Then an
eager rush of applications for the right
to subscribe ensued, and within twenty
four hours after the issue of the circular
more than twice the amount offered was
applied for.
"How much money was raised in this
way?w
lin all $40, ooO, 900; the plan was dis
closed to the subscribers to the purchas-
ing syndicate June "a, and on the same
day the new company was fully organ
Transcontinental, its object being to
unite the Northern Pacific and Oregon
railways and Navigation Companies"
"What is the present relation which
this company holds to the Northern Pa
cific company"
"Merely that as holder of its stock"

Famous Poultry Farms

A famous poultry farm at Lancaster
near Boston is described by a CORE
%spondent of the Country Gentleman. 1t
is owned by A. G. Hawkins. and he cal
culates to have apout 5000 fowls every
fall, and carries over $500 laying hens
through the winter. At the present
time he has 10000, including all sizes,
his farm contains 25 acres, and his poul-
try buildings occupy an acre and Il half.
They are situated on the south slope of
a hill, and comprise six or seven sheds
200 feet in length. Each shed is divided
into apartments of ~ by 90 feet, and
about % hens are kept in each division.
A yard is made in front of each apart
ment, SO that the members of each are
oy themselves. Mr.. Hawkins believes
that if confined poultry have all their
wants attended to, they will do as
we'll in egg-production as if allowed free
range. He bases this belief upon sever.
al tests. In Matching time he sets 200
hens on n day, and puts 500 eggs in
an incubator which is due to hatch on
the same dav, the chickens from which
will be distributed among the 200 hens.
DoSton IL one ol lne Dest market Tor
fancy prices for eggs and poultry, and
his sale of fowls and eggs for Matching
at fancy prices are large, about 80 per
cent. being profit. He also has a stand
ing order for 80 to 80 dozens of eggs dai-
ly, for which he gets the highest market
price. Mr.. Hawkins began at the age of
81, with 100 hens and, by careful man
agement and economy, his business has
enlarged SO that, at the age of 80, he
has n very handsome income. The ma
nure from the poultry is quite an item;
he sold last year 500 barrels at $1.5o
q barrel.

Of theKing," etc; The latter is Ten
devoted much time and study
10 it. The poet has made the mistake Of
introducing the grace and chivalry Of
the medieval civilization of France and
England into the barbarous fifth centu-
ry period of those countries. King Ar
thur and the Knights of the Round
Table form a beautiful and attractive
group, but they are only an ideal and
poetical conception. They never exist
ed as painted by the poet. In delicate
word-painting, in grace, elegance of Ian
guage and in dainty rhythm the "Idyls"
are rpassed in the poetry of the
century. In the full splendor of his
fame and in the maturity of his powers,
Tennyson wrote "Enoch Arden" The
poem obtained an Immediate and wide
popularity. The story was new, or sup
posed to be, and the characters were
taken from common life, thus securing
a large class of readers who had not
ly productions. We do not think that Ten
nyson has ever been accused O fplagiar-
ism in "Enoch Arden." but we find that
tho story, the treatment and the whole
scope Of the poem were taken from the
poem by Miss Proctor called Home
ward Bound" The heroes of both po-
ems we're sailors, both were ship
wrecked, both left wives behind, both
returned after an exile of ten years,
both found their wives remarked, both
saw their wives seated at the hearth
with their second husbands, both of the
second husbands, we're friends of the
exiles, and both return to their homes
on a chill autumn evening. Tennyson,
however, with finer art, makes Enoch
Arden only see his vile through the
window of her cottage; he does not enter
to disturb her domestic happiness by
claiming her, which, is morally wrong for
once a wife always a wife. Miss Proc
tor on the contrary, makes her hero,
who speaks in the first person. enter the
cottage, meet his wife and her second
husband, and the three mingle their
tears together.
There is not so much similarity in the
language of the poems, but their plots
are identically the same, with the diff
erence already mentioned. When we
remember that Miss Procter's poem was
published in 1858, and Tennyson's six
years later, there can be no doubt that
the first poet Of the g did not hesitate
to borrow the plot Of one Of his most
successful points from one who, next to
Mrs. Browning, was the host gifted
poetess of the last generation.

E. v. Smalley, who has devoted a good
deal of time to Mr.. Wizards affairs and
the affairs of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, and who is now engaged
in writing a history of the road, tells the
story Of the famous "bIind pool" as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Willard exercised every precau-
ton to conceal himself az 8 buyer, using
exclusively his private means and cred

out of the market large lines of the de-

Tennyson Charged with Plagiar.
.s...-lH ism.

Eugene L. Didier, the well known crit
ic, discussed Tennyson as a plagiarist in
the Literary Word, and quotes freely
to prove his assertions:
OF all living poets Alfred Tennyson is
the most renowned for originality. Yet,
perhaps, of all the great poets of this
century he is the most indebted to
the older writer's. Since his recent fail
ure as dramatist, the highest literary
journals of England have whispered, and
pretty loudly, too, that his best descrip-
tons are borrowed. that he is merely
an embellisher and Publisher of old sto-
ries, and that he has the taste of an arti-
san who loads his work with too much
ornamentation. 1t has also been sale
that he does not build, but only
ornaments; that he is not an architect,
but a decorator; that he derives a large
income out of a small capital. In short,
that out Of cottage he attempts to rear
palaces; and-shall we add?-fails in the
attempt.
Tennyson's earlier verses did not give
promise of q rich and abundant harvest.
He sang of Dying Sweets" Of "Mer-
ers," etc. Christopher North said, cal
fred is greatest. as an owl. All he wants
is to be shot, stuffed and stuck in q glass
case to be made immortal in the British
Museum" This criticism was severe,
but it was of immense benefit to the
young poet. He stopped writing, and
for ten years studied hard. He went
through the splendid field Of English
literature, devoting much time to- care
full perusal of the grand old poets of the
"elder days." This course Of study so
enriched his imagination and enlarged
his vocabulary that when he wrote again
he produced something worthy. Of his
talents. The writer of pretty drawing
room verses astonished the world BY

What n curious life journalism opens

until 2 in the morning doing nothing but

taking out here, and putting in there,
knowing absolutely nothing Of the world

the better part of it at home, giving to

Salt a Good Thing.

Some of those superfuous individuals
who are constantly %denouncing as unfit
for human food articles OF which man
kind has thrived for centuries, have

thing to take into ones stomach, and de-
clare their intention of abandoning its
use. To these persons the London Lam
Get devotes a paragraph, doubtless fear

they will organize a society and hold
annual conventions. Common salt"
says the Lancet, zig the most widely
distrib uted substance in the body; it ex-
lists in every fluid and in every solid;
and not only is it every where present,
but in almost every part it constitutes
the largest portion of the ash when any
tissue is burnt. In particular it is a o
slant constituent of the blood, and it
maintains in it a proportion that is al
most wholly independent of the quantity
that is consumed with the food. The
blood will take up SO much and no more,
however much We may take with our
food; and on the other hand, if none be
given, the blood parts with its natural
quantity slowly and u%nwillingiv. Salt,
being wholesome, and indeed necessary,
should be taken in moderate quantities,
and abstenta ton from it is likely to be
in%iuriOuS."

FIELD AND FARM.
PIowine Under Clover.

A New York State correspondent
writes to the Country Gentleman: "Plow-
ing clover for wheat is still largely prac-
iced in this section, with the difference
that now the top is mostly cut off and
saved for hay, and only the roots, with
what foliage cannot be moved, turn UNI
der, One fact about the recently cut
clover hay may not generally be known.
1t is that so long as the clover is stand-
ng the soil will be as hard as a brick,
nnd almost unplowable; but if plowed
within three or fourdays after the clover
has been removed the soil will turn up
with comparati We ease. ! have noticed
two instances of this within the month,
and it is a fact which I have never be-
fore seen recorded. That the mass of
clover foliage should dry the soil rapid
lv is not strange. The inexplicable part
of it is that after this foliage has been
removed, without any rain, the soil
should become triable and comparative-
ly moist. 1t may be that the process OF
drawing water from the subsoil, which
with full foliage is at once evaporated,
goes on with little interruption for a
time after the foliage is removed. The
surface roots will thus be made very sap
ply, just as the sap exudes from the
stumps of vigorous trees cut in spring
after the flow of sap has begun. Prob,
ably the effect in helping the blowing by
removing the summer foliage would moi
be the same with plants not having the
long deep roots of clover. The expert.
ments Of Voelcker have shown that
clover makes the best preparation fol
wheat after the second crop of hay is
removed. The soil is then richer IN fer
tilizing material than at any previous
stage of clover growth. 1t is it benef'
cial effects on the subsoil that makes
clover SO good a preparation for wheat
Other foliage plants with roots near the
surface are of little value"

Farming NOtee.

Every dairyman should raise at least
one-eighth of an acre of corn fodder for
each COW, to help the pasture through
the dry season.
The Houdan stands at the head of the
French fowls as layers, and for the ia
ole. They are hardy, sprightly, hand
some, and the chicks mature early.
The advantage of an ensilage crop is
that it makes the farmer Independent
of drought. Drilled corr or sugar cane
is rarely injured seriously by dry wealth
er. II the weight is slightly lessened, it
is 30 much the richer, and the smaller
bulk of stalks will require nearly as
much room in the silo after being thor
oughly pressed.
Fuller, in his ''Small Fruit Culturist,"
says, ri do not believe that there is one
acre of strawberries in a thousand, cult
waited in this country, that yields over
one-half what it would be if the ground
was properly prepared before planting"
The dead leaves on squash vines
should be carefully removed and burned.
They are usually infested with the eggs
Of the squash bug, and the first leaves
that appear are Of no use as soon as
others form, and are then
sure to wither and die.
The feet and legs of horses require
more care than the rest of the body.
They must not be allowed to stand in
filth and moisture, and in grooming a
horse the feet and legs must be as tho
oughly brushed and cleaned as the
coat.
Experiments have proved that musty
meal is not wholesome food for any of
the domestic animals. Disease and
death have been directly traced to its
use. When fed to poultry, chicken
cholera or some disease resembling it
was the result. Cows to which it was
fed gave bitter milk, and ceased to thrive
as well as those inDthe same pasture
which had no grain; swine fed upon it
failed to grow or fatten; only horses
were not injured by it, and they escaped
because they would not eat it.
