A Talk About Swine Feeding.


The first thing a farmer should con-
slider, is to have healthy hogs, and in
order to secure this he must provide
a'variety of feed, and give them COM
Portable quarters. My pigs were fed,
last winter, corn, roots, wheat mid
dlings and backwheat bran. This
winter they are fed the same, with
the addition of raw apples, of which
l purchased SOObushels mostly for the
pigs. Warm sheds, or rather pens,
are constructed in sunny corner of
the fields adjoining the buildings, and
here the pigs are being wintered, in
lots of dozen or less in each. They
have plenty Of room in which to stir
about; and are fed in a spot where
the cold winds do not reach them.
One fruitful cause of disease with
pigs, is exposure to a cold wind
just out of hot nest, where, perhaps,
they have been piled upon each
other. The sudden change of tenn
perature may be as great as twenty
or more degrees, enough, any way,
to cause colds, which may assume
the form of pleurisy, quinsy, inflam-
nation of the lungs or bowels. Sleep
ing under the straw stack, and feed
ing on the open ground in a raking
wind, lay the foundation for many
diseases. If the farmer has made no
provision for feeding his hogs, other
than corn, let him give them clover
hay. This may cause the exclusive
cOrn-feeder to smile, but he should
remember that this is not only a
change Of food, but that clover con-
tains the very elements the corn
lacks. If his hogs have been so pam
pered that they have no appetite for
such food, then get a breed which
has, and let "early maturity mean,
with him, healthy body, ready to
slaughter. | care not whether the
pig weighs one hundred, two hun
dred, or three hundred pounds, so
long as this weight has been made
as profit. Good appetites are the
result of good bodies, and good bodies
cannot be made without variety of
food. With good appetites and
strong digestion, coarse and cheap
food can be utilized, and herein is
the best basis for profit. Let corn
come in as an aid in fattening swine,
but not as the all in all in pig feed

riculturiSt.

ing that the yield of milk can be
largely increased by warming the
water given to cows during the win
ter, so as to bring the water to about
sixty-six degrees Fahrenheit.
Whipped-cream pie is a delicacy
that to be appreciated needs but to be
eaten. Make a crust of moderate
richness, line a deep tin with it; bake
quickly in a hot oven; when done
spread it with layer of jelly or jam;
first a thin layer, then whip one tea
cupful of sweet cream until it is as
light as possible, sweeten with pow
dered sugar, and flavor with vanilla;
spread over the jelly or jam; set the
cream where it will get very cold
before whipping.
Old gilt picture frames are more
valuable than those of more recent
make, as modern gilders are apt to
cover a silver backing with a light
coat of gilt, the gilders of the old
school using heavy coats Of gAt in
stead. These frames are first cut into
manageable sticks and then slowly
charred and burned to an ash in a
brick furnace. The ashes are then
smelted, leaving a residium of pure
gold. One old gold mirror frame,
eight feet across, yielded about seven
dollars Of pure gold.
The coarse straw that is apparently
worthless should not be burned, un-
less it contains weed seeds, which
may make burning necessary. What
can be fed to stock with grain should
be so utilized. The remainder may
generally be used as bedding. Even
a slight mixing of liquid or solid ex-
crement of well-fed stock will make
it valuable manure.

Sunfower Seed for Chickens.

/ see, writes Miss Mills to The Gull
tivator, that Mrs. M. j. Croomber re-
commends to poultry raisers to plant
sunfowers for food for chickens, as
the seed prevents cholera. The
Mammoth Russian" sunfower,
which is the most valuable of some
forty varieties for poultry and stock,
is found to be more wholesome than
most food, but should be fed only
three times a week during laying
seasons. This will give the best re-
suit in eggs.
During cold weather the oil in seeds
serves as in lamps and furnishes fuel
to keep up the animal heat. To show
birds on exhibition, short diet of
suntiower seed gives their feathers
an extra glossy coat, and a clear
bright look to their gills and combs.
For several years the seeds have been
used by breeders of fancy poultry as
food for choice birds, and fed in small
quantities mixed with other food.
The peculiar properties of the seeds
impart a beautiful gloss which no
other grain will give to the. plum
age Of adult birds. The seeds may
be planted any time from early in
the spring to the last of June, but it
does not begin to ripen in the North
until about August or September.

Gen. Gordon is Dead.

KoRTI, Feb. 10.-Cols. Wilson and
Wortley with the expedition to Khar-

made the journey from Gubat in four
days, and bring news of Gen. Cor
don's death. One of the Pachas
among Gen. Gordon's forces march
ed the garrison to the side of the town
nearest Omdurmon, saying a rebel
attack was expected at that point.
Meantime, another traitorous Pacha
opened the gates at the other end,
allowed the Mahdi's troops to enter,
and they easily captured the town.

Keep Out OF Debt.
JIM

A debt is a fetter. 1t cuts hard
into the neck. 1t binds you where
you lie down to sleep; rises with
you in the morning; it clings to
you through the day; therefore keep
out Of debt. 1t is vampire that
sucks out your hearts blood and
consumes your beauty, therefore
keep out debt. The debtor is not
himself; he cannot look his creditor
in the face; he cannot look the mar
ket man in the face; therefore keep
out of debt
"Runing in debt" says an old
minister, sis the first sin; lying is
the second sin, for running in debt
leads to lying" 1t leads to many
other sins, it leads sometimes to
self-destructiOn. OF the large and
lamentable number of suicides that
have occurred of late, the majority
have been caused by running in debt.
Therefore, again we say, keep out of
debt. needful, wear your old coat
longer, live on simpler diet, take a
palmer house, rise earlier in themorn-
ing, do anything fair and honest-if
you must, to save yourself, from rum
ming into debt. For debt is tyrant,
goading you, tantalizing, torturing
you, and still IMPLYING as the grave,
pursuing and harassing you until
you pay the uttermost farthing.
Therefore, as you love serenity OF
mind, as you love peaceful slumber,
as you love manliness, as you love
sweet life itself, keep out Of debt.

victoria's heir, and correspondence
followed.
MIR. Roe is one of the most extensive
dealers in oil OH the Street, and for
many years has transacted large share
of the Standard Oil Company's business.
His Royal Highness was kept con-
stantly informed of the various specula-
tive risks that offered good returns, and
relying on the fidelity Of his broker
opened an account in downtown bank,
against which he could draw and gave
him full discretion as TO how he should
invest the Princes golden grIineas.
The first risk with the Princes gold
was plunge, and safe one. rs the
sequel proved. 1t came in the Petroleum
Exchange early in the day with the
order to purchase 10000 barrels OF OIL
for the Princes account. 1t is understood
that the purchase was made at LUZ, and
as soon as the secret leaked out the
bulls went wild with joy, and the price
went I'D with rush tn Sl.0is, but Ros-
well p. Flower had received tip in
time and had pocketed go, 900 barrels a.
the opening figures.
The news that the Prince of Wales
had embarked in the giddy maelstrom
of oil speculation was not slow in travel
ling, and soon some noted buyers were
attracted to New street.
Fielding & Gwynne, tired Of waiting
for turn in cotton, secured 25O,OO
barrels; Britton reared himself hoarse
until somebody sold him $50 900 barrels,
Mumford replenished his former hold
ings by the addition of 250,OOO barrels.
Patterson bought 10000, Howard Bird
got hold of 10000, aud jain thanked
his stars that all wasn't gone before he
got his 100000.
There wasn'ta bear to be seen and the
climax was capped when the Armours
came down like wolf on the fold and
scooped up an even 100000 barrels Of
the oleaginous product.
Since the Exchange became an ex-
change no such day has been seen, and
the total transactions reached the enor-
nous figure of 100000 barrels, the
largest ever known.
Surprising the Prince of Wales 10
have purchased his half million barrels
at Sl.O3 and that he sold out at about
the closing figures of the day-S1O71-
The profits of his first venture among
the bulls and bears would De not quite
$4,000.
