Recently compiled tables show that

CIeanly surroundings for Pigs.

The important question is, can pig
feeders afford TO keep their pigs in
such filth that breeds disease and
death to their herds9 When pigs have
such foul wallowings, they seldom get
any pure water, and the foul water
contaminates the blood and brings
disease. 1t would be considered gross
Encouragement for a dairyman to
allow bis cows to drink foul water. II
is known that 1T passes through the
blood of the COW into the milk, which
becomes unwholesome for butter OF
cheese. And, as we eat the flesh OF
the pig, why should not as great care
be taken to preserve his health as that
of the COVE
For cattle, farmers go to the trouble
of making troughs and pumping
water into Il EN- daily, where there
are not clear, running streams, or OF
conducting water into them by
pipes where spring is possessed high

matters run from 1t, instead of tow

We once tried am experiment to see
if pigs would use clean water in pas
ture in warm weather to cool them
selves and keep off flies. We con
structed a shallow vat, ten inches
deep, and sunk it six inches ia the
earth, SO that the pigs could easily
walk into it. This was filled half full
of clean, clear water
The pigs would go into this vat and
lie down with the appearance of
great comfort. This water was drawn
off every two days, aud fresh water
supplied. The pigs not only use this
water-vat, but abandoned water
whole some fifteen rods from it,
clearly showing their preference for
clean water. This vat was used for
several seasons, and always success
fully. And it would be entirely feas-
ible to use such watts for large herds,
the expense being very little. =

THE estimated expenses OF the inter-

| The recommendation for the salaries of

fixed at $4,000 when the collections are
$4,000 or less, and an increase on a
graded scale to $4,000 where the colIec-

A DECISION has been rendered by the

against the United States; appeal from
the Court of Claims. This was a suit
brought by the insurance company to
recover 5000, 635, with interest, alleged
to be due it from the Geneva award,
found on account of war risk taken
by the appellant upon vessels destroyed
! by Confederate cruisers. The Court of
Claims dismissed the appellants petit
tion upon the ground that it had no
Jurisdiction. This court affirms that
Judgment, and holds that the Court of
Claims was prohibited from taking
jurisdiction by express statutes.

A new and dangerous counterfeit
OF the American s. gold piece has
made lis appearance on the Pacific
coast. II is thus described by San
Francisco paper: In size and weight
and general execution it was a very
close resemblance, SO much so that
several parties in the coiner's depart
ment of the mint at Grst pronounced
the coin genuine The color was like
that of gold coins alleged with silver.
The legend, in God We Trust. on
close examination. was not quiet as
distinct as on the genuine coin; in all
other respects the die was perfect,
even the small IS for San Francisco,
under the head. When broken the
coin disclosed the fact that it was a
double counterfeit, it having been
made to do duty as a counterfeit four
plaster piece of the Philippine Islands.
Pulling off a plating on both sides,
the words Las IIispanas' and the
devices of that coin were distinctly
seen, When assayed it was found
that the original piece was of native
platinum. The plating, to raise the
weight from 81 to So, or to make the
difference between the Manila and
American coin, was am alloy of silver
and copper. This had been electro
typed or washed with gold. The
whole was so nicely calculated as to
make The specific gravity Of gold,
