rails make excellent, cheap fuel; they
ignite readily, give quick, hot fire,
and soon die down. When the cook
ing 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
end let it down. This will tilt the
kettle on the edge of the 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 ofcooking kettle
of food can be done in five minutes,
and the only expense of making the
ration is a few pieces Of old rails.

The Biggest Horse Jump on Record

English Illustrated Magazine.
If the reader will carefully measure
out thirty-nine feet, an idea of the
horses capacity in this direction will
be gathered. Such a distance steeple-
chase horse called Old Chandler, is
reported to have covered at Warwick
some years ago; and there is more
than one authentic record of a horse
clearing seven feet in height. The
scene of one such exploit was at the
Phoenix Park, and the horse was an
animal descended from the famous
winner named Pot6os, himself called
Turnip. The animal belonged to Sil
E. Crofton, and the Duke of Rich
mond, then Lieutenant of Ireland
wagered $500 that this height coulC
not be cleared. A wall of requisit,
dimension was built, and when finish
ed Turnip was ridden at it, He die
what was asked of him in perfect style
but it happened that his grace, no
knowing that the feat was ready TO
the performance, was not looking whel
the jump was made; and Turnip wa
therefore ridden over it again not ONLY
successfully, but easily. The wall o
Hyde Park, opposite Grosvenors-place
six and half feet on the inside, will

yond, has also been cleared.

Our Petroleum Product.
Demorest's Monthly.

Demorest's Monthly.
In 1865 our petroleum oil product
was only some 1900 barrels. Its use
has steadily increased until now some
24,000,00O barrels is yearly consumed.
We ship to all parts of the world but
the domestic consumption is far greater
than the foreign. This oil has had
varied uses. AS an illuminant, it is
the cheapest and in some respects the
best light ever made use of by the hu.
man race. 1t is also a lubricant of
great value. After refining, the resi-
dun is converted into wax. also into
vaseline, and besides is used for dyeing
purposes and as a disinfectant. Petro>
leum fields have been discovered near
the Caspian Sea, and all Eastern Eu>
rope and portions of Asia are being
supplied from this quarter. Petrole-
UNI is found in several parts Of the
United States, but is most abundant
in the oil region proper of western
Pennsylvania. The oil territory ex,
tends from the eastern end of Lake
Erie down through Venango and But
Ter counties in Pennsylvania, and as
far south as West Virginia. In THU
last State the oil is thick and does no
flow readily. In the neighborhood o
Pittsburg there are great gas wells bu
not much oil. The latter is often pro
duced in such quantities as to caus,
loss to the holders. Some of the NOR,
recent wells have had the greatest pro
duction. The Phillips we'll in Butte
county at one time poured out nearl,
5000 barrels day; but these grea
gushers as they are called, do not las
long. Their life is short. 1t is a won
derful product, is petroleum, and coulC
it be utilized for fuel it would solve

Cooking Food for Swine.

J. NJ. Stahl in American Agriculturist.
In cold weather much good is done
by feeding hogs heated food. 1t
warns up the body, and stimulates
the digestive organs to vigorous ac-
ton. 1t pays always to warm slops
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 a large iron kettle, swung
upon two poles of sufficiently strong
wood. The bail is removed, and Il
piece of chain, forming a loop a foot
long, is passed through each eye of
the kettle, and over the respective
pole. The poles are placed on fork
ed 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 trough,
made of two-inch pine boards, which
may be situated in small lot sepa-
rated from the hog lot by fence
with a small gate. Old broken fence

The Washington Monument.

1t is not altogether certain that the
Washington monument is to be COM
pleted in time for the proposed dedica-
ton on Feb. %, writes Washington
correspondent to the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The work Of setting the cap
stones has been delayed good deal,
as the stones were not ready. The
third tier is now being placed in posi>
ton; but the parties in charge of the
work find that the nearer they get to
the top the more difficult the task, and
the more careful the men have to be
to prevent accident. The space at the
top, too, grows constantly smaller, and,
of course, less number of men can be
employed. Should it happen that
cold weather should set in at an unu-
sual early period, there is a doubt
whether the work could be completed
this season. The pyramidal top of the
monument, now being laid, is to con-
sist of fourteen courses of stone, slop-
ing gradually upward, the distance
from the point where the angle occurs
to the extreme top being 55 feet. The
third course of these is now being laid
In it are to be the openings for "look-
outs"-two on each side. Above it
will be II courses and the capstone,
and it is estimated that for each course
three days Of good weather will be re.
quired. So that the completion of the
monument this season is by no means
assured, though the chances are
thought to be in favor of it. The cap.
stone which is to surmount the whole,
is an object of much attention at the
grounds now. All the visitors want
to see it, and good many young la
dies ask to be permitted to stand on it,
so that they may tell great,grand.
children that they have stood on
the capstone of the Washington monuN
ment.
