Wintering Young Pigs.

Pigs born later than tue first of
October will need good care and skill
full management to keep them in a
thrifty, growing condition through
the winter. This is particularly the
case if you keep them in large num-
bers, and it is good plan to sell all
you can before winter sets in. People
who keep only two or three pigs to
eat up the Stops from the house can
handle their late pigs to better advan-
tage than the large farmer or breeder,
Such young pigs need milk, greasy
water, or broth and bread, or cooked
potatoes, with corn meal pudding !;
these are more likely to be literally
furnished from the kitchen when 70
have only two pet pigs than when
you have two SCORE or two hundred.
Whatever method of feeding is adopt
ed let it be liberal. Let them have all
the good feed they will eat-no more,
no less. Let them have good. dry,
comfortable quarters to sleep in, and
disturb them as little as possible.
Pigs are in part alternating animals.
The more they sleep the better for
them and their owner We do not
want to fatten pigs in winter. We
simply want to keep them in healthy,
growing condition, and the fatter
they are when winter sets in, the
easier it will be to carry them through
the winter. Pigs well wlntered, are
in good condition to thrive well on
grass and clover next summer. They
will do far better on pasture alone
than young spring pigs. We are not
now advocating having young pigs
come in autumn, bat if you have
them and connot- sell them, or do not
wish to, then take the best of care of
them, and feed literally. The most
profitable pork we have ever made,
was from young pigs which mad been
well cared for through the previous
winter, and the next summer fatten-
ed on clover pasture. Joseph Harris

How to Buy a Horse.

An old horsenan says: If you
want to buy a horse, don't believe
your own brother. Take no mans
word for it, Your eye is your mar
ket. Don't buy horse in harness.
Unhitch him and take everything off
but his halter, and lead him around. If
he has corn or is stiff, or has any
other falling, you can see it. Let
him go by himself away, and if he
slaves right into anything you know
he is blind No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than a bat. Back him too
Some horses show their weakness at
tricks in chat way when they don't 10
any other. But, be as smart as you
can, you'll get caught sometimes.
Even an expert gets stuck. A horse
may look ever so nice and go at great
pace, and yet have fits. There
isn't man could tell it till something
happens. Or he may have a weak
back. Give him the whip and If he
goes for mile or two, then all of
sudden he stops in the road After q
rest he starts off again, but no soon
stops for good, and nothing but der
rick could move him.
The weak parts of horse can be
better discovered while standing than
while moving. If he is sound, he
will stand firmly and squarely on his
limbs without moving any of them,
the feet daily upon the ground, with
legs plump and naturally poised;
or if the foot ii lifted from the ground
and the weight taken from it, disease
may be suspected, or at least tender
ness, which is a precursor of disease.
If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart, or straddles with his
hind legs, there is a weakness in the
IONS, and the kidneys are dirordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees Blu
ish, milky cast eyes in horses indicate
moon blindness or something else. A
bad tempered horse keeps his ears
thrown back. a kicking horse is apt
to have SCARED legs. A stumbling
horse has blemished knees. When
the skin is rough and harsh, and does
not move easily to the touch, the
horse is a heavy eater. and digestion
is bad Never buy a horse whose
breathing organs are at all impaired.
Place your ear at the side of the heart,
and if weezing sound is heard it is
an indication of trouble.

A Singular VIII.

There has been a great deal Of Cos
sip recently in England about the will
of the late Sir John Duntze, the whole
of whose large fortune goes away
from the family. The fact is that Sir
Johns mother miss Carew, of Twer-
ton Castle was the sister of his faith
er's first wife, so that when he came
of age in 1880 ne was technically lille
gltimate; and when he assumed the
title and took possession of the estates
after his fathers death (Which took
place just when he came of age, some
of his relatives threatened to dispute
his rights, and he never forgave this
proceeding, the fruit of which is to be
found after fifty years in his viii. In
1925, the late Duke of Beaufort, whose
only son (the present Duke was the
offspring of a similar marriage, fear
ing that his next brother, Lord Gran
vile Somerset, might claim the titles
and estates, induced Lord Lyndhurst
to get passed the act on the subject
which made all such marriages legal
which had taken place prior to Aug.
gust 81, 1885; and of course this legis-
lation also placed Sir John DuntEe ia
a position of security.

Frigntful Mortality Among the Men

The steamship Colon, from Aspin-

Brooklyn, was among the plumber.
-Four months ago he left his home a

emaciated and broken down by the
deadly Chagres fever.

Well, that is frightful. Hundreds
die monthly, and the hospitals are
constantly filed with the sick. 1t is
said that nine out of ten of the pa
tients who are sent to these hospitals
die there. If the dead man has mon
ey or influence. he is put alto pine
box and buried; otherwise his body
is dumped into a pit and quicklime
thrown over him. There is an old
saying that every tie of the Panama
Railroad represents a tombstone for
some poor unfortunate. Now, it is
true that every foot of excavated
ground symbohzes a grave. The canal
is twelve feet deep and from eighty to
ninety feet wide. The rains, which
are abundant, not only interfere with
the work, but often cause the banks to
cave and fill up the canal. Board that

of the San Francisco Chronicle, was
shot by Adolph Spreckels, a son of
Claus Spreckels, the Hawaiian sugar
king, on account of a recent article in
the Chronicle respecting the affairs of

Company. The affair took place in the
business office of the paper. Two
shots were fred, the first lodging in
De Young's left arm little above the
elbow and the second in the left
shoulder The wounds, which at first
were believed to be slight, proved on
examination to be more serious than
supposed. 1t was found that the
first bullet passed within a sixteenth
of an inch of the subclavian artery,
which, if it had been struck, would
have caused him to bleed to death.
Fears are now felt that, ifsuppuration
