Green Corn for Pigs.

In summer and early fall feeding of
pigs, we have found sweet corn one OF
the best and most convenient kinds of
fodder. Pork is made to the best ad-
vantage, as soon as they are weaned
from the SOW and have learned to eat
milk and meal, and keeping them there
under full iced until they are ready for
slaughter in November or December.
With a good breed of swine there is no
difficulty in making March pigs weigh
$50 to 800 pounds at eight or nlne
months old. With plenty of Indian
meal and skinned milk they will grow
rapidly until the corn is large enough
for cutting. About the first of August
this should be given as an additional
ration. The pigs will eat the green
stalks and leaves with the greatest rel
ish afer the ears have been plucked.
1t is an excellent appetizer, helps the
digestion of more solid food, and pro-
notes the thrift of the animals. Field
corn may not be quite so nutritious,
but no better use can be made of that
after the ears are in milk, than to cut
and feed it to fattening swine. 1t
costs less to make pork in summer
than in cold winter weather.-Ameri-
tan Agy1enlturfsf.

Raising Early Chickens.

Young early chickens should be fed
cooked bran and meal alternate with
bread crumbs and finely chopped, hard
boiled eggs. If the meal can be
scalded in milk so much the better.
To insure thrift, the chicks should be
fed five or six times day until five or
six weeks old. Wheat should be given
as soon as they will eat it, though rice
is the best OF all grains. In order to
successfully raise early hatched chick
ems, three things are indispensable
heat, proper food and cleanliness. A
uniform heat at this season of the year,
must, be artificial, as the rays of
the sun are not yet to be depended
upon for steady warmth, save in ex-
ceptional sunny days. Young broods
should not be placed out on the cold
ground Immediately after they are
Matched. They should be kept, If
possible, for the first day or so IN a
moderately warm room. A broad
bottomed box set IN the wood shed or
corner of the back kitchen (having no
place better will answer for run for
the first day or two. When they are
first put out of doors it should be in
some sheltered, sunny spot and only in
the middle of the day. The coop in
which they are to stay permanently
should have some dry earth in the bot
tom of It.

"Jolln siIlpIn's Ride

"John Gilpin's Ride was composed
by Cowper somewhere about the year
1880 orsI7Sa and under the following
circumstances, as he told them him
sell While on visit TO his friend
and adinirer, Lady Austen, he was SUIT
fering one evening from excessive mel
ancholy, which her ladyship thought TO
relieve by relating to him funny
story. 1t was story she remembered
from childhood and which she had
often related to the little ones gathered
at her house. "Iohn Gilpin's Ride"
she denominated her tale, and she
went on and told it in bright, sparkling,
narrative style. Its effect on the fancy
iof Cowper was enchanting On the
following morning he appeared at the
breakfast table with countenance all
smiles, and he told Lady Austen that
he had been kept awake half the night
by thoughts of her story and his invol-
untaiy bursts OF laughter at the conf
cal scenes flashed back upon him.
And ne furthermore told her that he
had resolved to put it into a ballad,
the general construction of which he
had already in mind. The ballad was
written and given to Lady Austen, and
she insisted upon giving 1t to the pub
Usher Of her favorite newspaper. So
it found its way to the public and
afterwards Henderson, the actor, reclt-
ed it in his public reading. There
have been various surnises as to
where Lady Austen obtained her hero.
Some have thought he was real per
sonage and have collated proofto sus-
tain the position, while others have be-
lieved him to have been entirely ictl-
tious-a creature of Lady Austen's
brain, or, mayhap, of the poets Own

Changing seed from rich 10 poor
er soil is the same turning calves from
good to poor pasture expecting them
to thrive and grow, a direct violation
of the laws of nature, and the result
has been the means of driving wheat
as commercial business from large
portions of the State, and if the same
practice is continued, other portions
will soon give it up. Farmers make
great mistakes in selecting seeds ofall
kinds, which is of as much Importance
as to the condition of the soil. The
universal law of nature IS to progress.
A violation of the same law is to go
back. degenerate, and die. Hence it
must be plain to every intelligent mind
to keep up the progressive nature OF
wheat and other seed where no atten-
ton is given to the soil. Seed of all
kinds must be changed-taken from
soil not quite so good.

preakine a Mustang.

In an entertaining paper IN the
March 50. Nicbjlas entitled among
the Mustangs. Noah Brooks gives the
following graphic account OF the mo-
thods OF capturing and breaking tho
wild horse OF the prairics: hiding ut
full speed, the Afcxicans career over the
plains like wild men, whirling their
coiled lariats. or iassos. over their
heads as they fy. Their horses are
covered with loan, and often bleeding
from the cruel spurs with which they
are urged on. The earth trembles un-
der the tramp of many hoofs beating
the solid ground, as pursuer and pur-
sued gallop madIy far and wide. Sud-
denly the iariat sings through the air,
the moose opens itself and drops over
the head OF terrified fugitive, the
hunters steed instantly braces itself
with its forefeet and drops on It's
launches so us to make an anchorage,
as it were, for the caught mustang.
And there is no escape now for the
captive.
1.-The hunter next blinds his prize,
takes n turn of the lariat around its
forelegs, forces heavy bit into its
mouth. and at once begins to break
it to the saddle. How do you suppose
the poor mustang feels when it finds it
self saddled, bridled, and straddied
by tyrant man? In vain it Jumps
stiff-legged, plungcs. ard kicks. No
animal in the world has SO many tricks
and antics rs newly captured wild
horse; but man its conqueror, is equal
to all of these. In few hours. the
poor beast, so lately a free and careless
creature, wild rover OF the boundless
plains, is reduced to abject subsection.
Its spirit is broken, and though it may
| still retain some of its native vicious
ness, it is the slave of its owner.
Henceforth it never forgets the lasso.
1t knows and breads the sight of one;
and if it escapes, there is very little
difficulty in catching it again. But its
rider, too, must never forget that the
hapless captive is only half-tamed. He
must watch it narrowly; for often aft

insubmission, the steed he rides will
try to throw him, and will struggle un'

AS my last communication to the

would send another one. The coun-

ton of bears quite different appear

covered with very heavy growth of
underbrush and also old log camps
where the ground was covered with
pine brush and cord wood and bark
and very heavy forest of pine TIM

This is all that is left of the great for

and %as one continuous sheet of FIRE

fire running to the tops of the highest
trees on the mountains, and travelling
so fast that it was almost impossible
for mai or beast to make their escape.
Such cracking and roaring, it was ter.
rible. People running and leaving all
their property behind to become a
prey for The angry flames. 1t is said
by reliable men that the fire would
leap for a mile down the side of the
mountain. All the steam whistles were
blowing for help, but about The time
the people was ready to give up, the
wind ceased 10 blow SO hard, and a
very welcome rain commenced TO fall,
soon the angry fame was stopped, but
not until there were thousands of dol.

hundreds of people made homeless
But the good people of the towns soon
came to their relief. with provision:

Selling Eggs by Weight.

There is from twenty to thirty per
cent, difference in the weight of eggs;
yet the custom is almost universal In
the Eastern markets of selling them
by the dozen, at an uniform price.
Even ducks eggs, which are much
larger, and by some regarded,,as richer,
bring no more than the smallest hens
egg of not half the weight In Cali
fornia, eggs, fruits and many articles
that are here sold by the dozen, the
bunch, or by measure, are sold by
weight. The practice is a good one,
and works beneficially for all parties.
especially for the producer. 1t oper-
ates as a-premium upon the cultiva-
ton of productive varities of fruit, veg
etables and farm stock. The farmer
whe is pamstaking with his poultry, and
gets the largest eggs, has fair reward
for his skill and industry. The pres
ent custom is premium to light
weights and good layers. We need a
change in the interest of fair dealing
in trade and, Unnecessary, it should be
enforced by legislation 1.-THE legis-
lature is competent to fix the weight of
busel of corn or potatoes, it can cas-
lily regulate the weight of a dozen of
eggs, and thus promote justice be-
tween the buyer and seller.-Ameyifan
