 The estimated expenses of the city for the year 1885 were then taken up for action. The items for the Board of Public Works, Police and Fire departments were passed with but little argument.
 When the Board of Health items were reached discussion arose regarding the sal aries of health officer and clerk, the former being placed at $1 ,000 and the latter at $500.
 Alderman Kennedy moved that the $1 ,660 for the two officers be evenly divided be- tween them.
 Alderman Benton moved to amend by ap- propriating $1 600 for the health officer and clerk and.that the division of the amount be left with the Board of Health. Alderman States moved that the salaries of the health officer, clerk and sanitary in spectors be $4, 600 and it be left to the Board of Health to divide the same as they think best.
 The amendment of Alderman States was lost The amendment of Alderman Benton was carried by vote of 9 to 2. The motion as amended was then carried.
 When the salary of the lamp inspector was reached it was moved to make it $1 ,000. The motion was lost and the salary was fixed al $1 200 as reported. The remaining estimates were then ap- proved as printed, which are embraced in tht following:

The Pro IN AGRICULTURE The pig
has recently been spoken Of in contempt
when compared with our domestic ami
mails, Bat if we examine his good
qualities at oil critically we must award
him a high place in agriculture. He is
found to produce a pound of product
from less food than either cattle orsheep,
and is therefore the most economi sal
machine to manufacture great corn
crop into marketable meat. Our people
are becoming wiser every year, and
exporting less, proportionately, OF the
raw materials and more of condensed
product. II it takes seven pounds OF
corn on the average to make q pound of
pork, as is no doubt the case, the farmer
begins to see the economy of exporting
one pound of pork, bacon, or ham
instead of seven pounds of corn. The
difference in cost Of freight makes q fine
profit of itself; besides the pound Of
meat is usually worth more than seven
pounds of corr in the foreign market.
The production of pork should be
encouraged on the further consideration
that it carries off lets OF the valuable
constituents or the soil ihan beef. The
fat pig contains only t~hree-fourths az
much mineral matter per cwt as the fat
steer. The pig is an excellent adjunct
to the dairy, turning all refuse milk and
even whey into cash.

A well-knOwn farmer who lives in

Little Rock several days ago with a

"W'all, l want to go over with these

steers"
No danger of that, but you may ride

The old fellow climbed into the cat.

lighted his pipe and proceeded to enjoy
himself. The train did not start till
after dark. Ram began to fall aud the
wind roared among the cypress trees.

the train stopped at a station, the con-

lantern and asked:

The man was climbing around on the
backs OF the steers.
"All right, thunderationl I'm dead,
These things have tIamped me nearly

The train proceeded. A brakeman
coming along, said:

A Dog That Eats Sponges.

Nassau dogs are the most fearful and
wonderful productions of nature. They
have wistful, hungry look about the
eyes, and an all-gone thin appearance
about the TANKS that gives them an air
of feeding on wind and the air in a
dead calm. But we have dog here on
the place that goes a little ahead OF
anything in the dog line I ever saw.
He belongs to the cook, and the BOYS
say they are never sure whether he is a
snake or dog, he is so thin. He is a
cur of the currest kind, black and gray.
but an affectionate little rascal, and a
good watchdog, for he barks at night
on the smallest provocation. His name
is Jack. You know down here sponges
are as plenty as apples at home. They
wash dishes with them, and use them
for every imaginable purpose, so there
are always bits of old sponge lying
about. You might 60 out in my back
yard and pick up half bushel Of them
in ten minuUes. Well, Jack eats
sponges. OF course you will laugh at
this; but pledge my solemn word that
] went out into the yard one day and
saw Jack eating sponge, and he
seemed to enjoy it. No doubt his idea
was TO cram himself full of sponge,
then go off somewhere and take a, big
drink of water, and thus swell himself
out to a respectable well-fed size.

COOKED FOOD FOR SWINE.

1t Pays Always to Cook Hog-Food, and
Especially in Cold Weather.
The cost of pork is greatly lessened
by cooking the food for the hogs.
Wormy apples, small potatoes, ETC.,
will pay handsomely for the trouble of
cooking. tits the greatest fault of our
pork production, that we feed corn al
most exclusively. This monotonous diet,
rich in oil, must jeopardize health. It
is as if a man ate nothing but fat meat
or corn-bread. The value of cooked
food does not depend altogether upon
its nutritious contents. In cold weather
much good is done by feeding hogs
heated food. 1t warns up the body,
and stimulates the digestive organs to
vigorous action. 1t pays always to
warm Stops in cold weather. The main
reason farmers do not feed more cooked
food to their swine, is fancied labor and
trouble of preparing it. A good utensil
is large iron kettle, swung upon two
poles of sufficiently strong wood. The
bail is removed, and piece of chain,
forming a loop foot long, is passed
through each eye of the kettle, and over
the respective pole. The poles are
placed on forked sticks, set in the
ground. The poles should be parallel,
and as far apart as are the eyes of the
kettle. Place near the kettle large,
light trough, made of two-inch pine
boards, which may be situated in
small lot separated from the hog lot by
fence with small gate. Old broken
fence rails make excellent, cheap fuel;
they ignite readily, give a quick, hot
ire, and soon die down. When the
cooking is done, rake the fire to one
side, and bring the trough partially
under the kettle on that side from which
the fire has been removed. Raise the
pole from that side out of the crotches,
and let it down. This will tilt the
kettle on the edge Of trough, and most
Of the food will be deposited in it; the
balance is easily scooped out with
board or pan. When only one pole is
used, it is difficult to get the cooked
food into the trough. After the food
has cooled sufficiently, open the gate in
the fence, and let the hogs in to the
feast. Managed in this way, the labor
of cooking a Kettle of food can be done
in five minutes, and the only expense of
making the ration is few pieces of
old rails.-AmericGn AgricuJturiSt..

A COSTLY CRASH.
A landslide Wrecks a West Shore Train,
and One Man Is Killed.

A landslide Wrecks a West Shore Train,
and One Man Is Killed.
New YORK, Dec. 17.-The Atlantic ex-
press train on the West Shore Road was
wrecked yesterday morning at a point near
Highlands, fifteen miles up the river.
The train was late and running at
forty miles an hour to make up time
when it struck a rock slide and divided.
It was pitcll-daR1 at the time and as the
train rounded the rocky hills near
Highlands the engineer did not see that the
track was buried two feet under shell rock.
There was crash, yell from the engi-
neer, and the train broke up. The engine
turned over on its side, the tender
rolled down the hill sixty feet,
while the body of the baggage car left the
tracks. Just then the smoker turned over.
and in another instant both cars were on
fire from overturned stoves. There were
between one hundred and seventy-fye and
two hundred people on the train, and the
widest excitement prevailed.
The entire train seemed doomed to de-
struction from fire when some of the pas
sengers uncouplsd the burning sleeper and
pushed back the other three cars, thus saw
ing them and providing shelter for the
people. At daybreak it was found that the
fireman had been fatally injured, and that
four Others were more or less hurt, among
them Samuel Mack, a deSerter from the
regular army, who was en- route to serve
out sentence of five years in Fort Hamil-
ton. The damage to the train is estimated
at S95. 600

HEAVES.
A Disease to Which Horses Are Subject,
and How to Cure 1t.

A Disease to Which Horses Are Subject
and How to Cure 1t.
Heaves is a frequent disease of
horses, and this is good season to un-
derstand it and the causes and manner
of prevention. In nearly every case it
is caused by irritation of the air pas
sages by dust from the hay; another,
but rarer, cause is Indigestion. So that
it is seen that feeding has the most to
do with it. There is but one remedy,
and that is prevention. From the nature
Of the disease cure is beyond the art or
skill Of the surgeon, and although it
may be considerably eased and relieved
by suitable feeding, yet the trouble will
return on the first provocation. 1t is
unnecessary to particulariZe the means
of prevention; these suggest themselves
when the causes are known. Avoiding
dusty food of all kinds, musty grain or
hay, or breeding from diseased horses
(for the disease is easily inherited) are
the chief preventive measures. Moist
ened food given in small quantities, and
therefore of nutritious kinds; with atten-
ton to keeping the system loose and
open, and care to avoid excessive exer-
ton, will afford such relief that the
trouble viii wholly disappear for the
time being. This subject is one well
worth attention, now that popular re-
gard is drawn to the frequency of CLAN
ders, for there is no doubt that the
poisoning of the blood from long con-
tinued difficult and restricted respira-
ton will tend to produce this disease as
preliminary to lung consumption, or as
direct cause of death; the final effect
of an insufficient supply of air through
the lungs being precisely the same as
that of impure air, and impure air is &
well-known provocative of both farcy

The Liquor Consumption in Prussia.


A calculation has been made as to
the amount spent upon intoxicating
drinks in Prussia, and the following re-
suit has been arrived at: In the year
1882 the Prussian treasury collected
nearly $4,000, 1000 marks (about S14,-
0,000) from the tax on brandy, of
which about 100000 marks were re-
funded in the shape of drawbacks for
export. Taking the tax OF ID pfennings
(about 4 cents) per litre, the consurp-
ton of brandy must be about 261, 600
coo litres, or 81 litres (nearly two gal
Ions for every inhabitant. The guam
tity of wine consumed in Prussia during
1882 was 2,751, 442 gals, which, at the
average price of mark 20 pf. per litre,
represents an expenditure of 70, 080, 900
marks (about SIS, 200,0 00). The
quantity of beer consumed was 103.-
100000 gallons, which, at about Is
cents a gallon, gives a total of about
S25, 100000 as the whole expenditure
upon beer, wine and spirits, being not
far short of one-tenth of the whole
annual revenue of the kingdom.
