The best diet for laying hen is Q
little of about every thing they like
Corn is at the head, but being
cheap and convenient to grow,
store, and handle, it is fed toe
much. Once a day for corn is
enough. Give wheat, oats, buck
wheat, rye, scalded bran, ard meal,
millet, sun-fower-seeds, early cut
grass, scalded turnips, beets, on
ions, potatoes, cabbage, cheap
meat, crushed bones, and gravel or
shells. All this for winter feed.
The things most neglected then are
meats, vegetables and gravel or
pounded shells. The last two are
for grinding the rest.-Spirit.

Pork hogs wIll be ready for the
knife early this season. Many OF
them will doubtless be killed thi.
month; but owing to abundant
feed, farmers will be disposed to
carry them longer than usual, and
probably feed them beyond the
point of profit, even at the present
low price of corn. " hen the old
system of turning hogs intended
for pork into a field of standing
corn was abandoned, it was certainly
great saving in feed, but yet
there is much room for improve
ment upon the manner of pen feed
ing as generally practiced in the
country. Much OF the corn thrown
over into dirty, sloppy pen, is
wasted; for even a hog will get fas
tidious to some extent whom sur
feited with feed, and they begin to
pick their corn before they are
quite ripe for the gambrels, and
when hog refuses corn it is safe
to say nothing else will eat it.
The most economical plan for feed
ing a small lot, say a dozen or f1f
teen head, is to use sclf-feeding
trough-a simple contrivance easily
made by taking two stout oak
planks, bevel the edges, and nail
them together in a V shade thus
forming the trough; just over the
trough, and extending it's full
length, arrange the self-feeding box
for holding the corn; this is also
built in V shape, but has an
opening along the lower side for the
grain to run out, and is placed so
low down on the trough beneath
as to prevent the hogs from getting
into the feed trough, and as the
grain eaten out of the feed trough
fresh corn runs in from the hoppers
above. To protect the corn from
rain, the hoppers should be covered
with an adjustable top that could
be removed when they need reflling.
A feeding arrangement of this kind
for dozen pork pigs can be built
at cost not exceeding So. 1t will
save feed in one season more than
it's cost, and will last for Fl We years.

An enterprising farmer in North
Carolina last year cleared $4l 900
from 300 acres planted in tobacco.
It was grown on the mountain
sides, where the soil is too poor to
produce any other crop. One acre
paid him 800. It is nothing unu-
sual for $500 per acre to be cleared
from tobacco culture in North Car
Olina.-Exchange.

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.

Imagine with what dire dizmsy
Old Matthew, Mark and Luke and John,
| Could they lock back on Garth to day,
Would view the present goings on
| " here once they walked, or rode on asses,
The engine whistle cuts the wind,
And new disciples, fixed with passes,
Curse because the trains dehind
And those Wise Men. imagine them
Following the guiding star
| That rose and fell on Bethlehem
On the top shelf of sleeping car
And think of Solomon, the great,
Laying crsftily his lines
To get some kind of special rate
For all bis wives and concubines.
There's Adam. too, how he would sigh,
And turn to Eve, and speak her low,
When first he heard the brakeman cry;
"E-deDl Change cars for Jerichop'
And Moses, how surprised he'd be,
When standing back upon the ridges,
And looking on the old Dead Sea
He saw old Israel mending bridges!
There's old Nebuehadnezzar, too,
Doomed in the fields his life to pass;
How he would stare, when first he Vowed
The sign, "Park. Please keep of th'
grassp'
And Dives, could he leave below
And come on earth, ho W he would wilt
When he should undertake to show
Down wealth with Gould or Vanderbilt
And Samuel, what would he do
If be, when kneeling all alone,
Should hear the brisk Hello, hellop'
Of Eli at the telephones
How would those children whom the bears
Ate up for telling him to 'go,"
Stare at Elisha's scattering hairs
In the front seat ofa bullesque showi
how long would David. with his sling,
Contrive to linger round about,
With Sullivan still in the ring,
With cash up that he'd KNOCK him out?
And how tho multitude that fed
Upon the sermon on the Mount,
Would feel their hair raise as they read
Tho Associated Press account
The scene has chAngOd by Galilee,
And altered is old Palestine;
Jerusalem ere long will be
A little station where you dine;
And should the ancient residents
Come back in all their early rags,
Some fresh policeman. with no sense,
Would run the outfit in as "vAgs."

There is something worth think.
ing about in the fact that in En-
gland the papers are discussing
the price of bread with considera-
bic viger, arguing that it is too
high considering the low price Of
wheat. A quarter loaf flour

three cents per pound. In Ameri-
ca the some weight Of bread costs
five cents. Yet in America the
buyer is at least 5000 miles nearer
the source of supply of wheat than
the English consumer is.--Spirit.

A remedial agency not common
ly resorted to has been recently
brought under notice by M. DeboVe
for the relief of neuralgia sciatica.
This physician seems to have met
with considerable success in the
treatment of sciatica by freezing the
skin. Richardson's ether spray
not proving satisfactory, M. De-
bove employed the chloride Of me-
thyl, which may give rise to a de-
gree of cold represented by-23 de-
grees c. This agent has the adj
vantage of not being expensive. A
Jet of the fluid is made to play on
the skin along the whole length Of
the limb corresponding to the
course of the sciatic nerve and its
main branches. The good effects
are said to beI instantaneous. The
operation is also claimed to be but
little painful; the smarting is not SO
great as that caused by the hot iron.
Vesication has followed the en-
plovment Of this remedy, but never
any sloughing. The extension Of
this measure to other neuralge IL
advocated. Lancet.
