HOG RAISING.
Something In which There Ts Room fol
Solid NIissLonnrY work.

Something In which There Is Room Fos
Solid Missionary work.
We are more and more impressed
with the value of hogs on the farm.
Many farmers make their cows the
main feature; the buildings are con-
structed with reference to their man
agement, and the rotation of crops is
fixed to promote the same end. We
also have farms devoted to horse
breeding, and whole sections of coun-
trywhere sheep-breeding is the leading
industry. To make these different
branches of husbandry a speciality, is
the right course for success, In the
great corn districts of the West, hogs
are raised in large numbers, but we are
forced TO say, from observation, that it
is generallycorn, more than care, which
piYes the business its degree of success.
Often enough corn is wasted if fed with
care to fatten the entire stock. The
Western hog does not fill the entire
place for which he was designed.
He is simply condensed corn
crib, with a great many rat holes.
This business basis may possibly an
swer where corn IS cheap and requires
no fertilizer, but in the largest portion
of this country corn is not so abundant
that the farmer can afford to waste t,
or is land so rich but that it can be-
come more productive. Hogs should
be made factor Of Improvement on
every farm. We should have swine
farms the same as dairy, horse and
sheep farms, W th the fields and build
ings adapted to them. Hogs should be
fed in the fields, with a rotation in their
feeding grounds, the same as in crops.
In this way, in a few years, the whole
| farm can be gone over, and every field
| enriched. The farmer who keeps few
hogs shut up in pen or confined in a
| small yard, and the one who confines his
hogs year after year in the same field,
do not live up to their privileges in
sWine-breeding; they rarely manifest
the skill, or even the business shrewd-
| ness of the breeders of other stock.
ANY class of animals producing a great
amount of food for the human family,
! should receive fair consideration. There
is room here for fair missionary work,
both in improving the condition of the
pigs and Of the people.-AmericaR Ag-

Life in Florida

The native Florida Cracker" keeps
up on salt pork, sweet potatoes, grits
(prepared from corn), corn bread,
coffee, and for a relish, sugar cane syr-
up; and he eats, if he can get it, fully
One-third more at a meal than the la
boring man of the East North or West.
The result Of this gross living is an un-
healthy disposition OF body, a bloodless
face, and children the color of death
with unnatural appetites. / have seen
them chewing and eating clay, mud,
cement and other things, and it is not
uncommon for death to be caused from
such practices. Many are too poor to
live even as well as this. The pork not
imported is obtained from the razor
back hogs, which run almost wild in
the country, and are as big nuisance
as can be imagined They are an infe-
rior breed descended, it Is said, from
old Spanish stock, and are seen ia
droves tearing through the woods,
breaking into plantations and doing
more damage to property than they are
worth. They have long gEuht bodies
with a head like a monster pike, and
each one bears on the ear the owners
"mark, which varies. from a fine
pointed star to a peculiar slit. It would
be a good thing for everybody If the
legislature should pass a law banishing
them altogether, or prohibiting them
being allowed to run at large Cor,

RULES FOR COLD WEATHER.

Something for Those Persons Who Be
lieve Prevention Better Than Cure
The following rules, published n
Farm and FTesjde, are worth needing
in those who believe that ''an ounce of
prevention is worth pound Of cure :"
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold Never begin a
journey until the breakfast has been
eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then im-
mediately 90 out in the cold air.
Keep the back-especiall between
the shOulder-blades- covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in a cold room establish the habit Of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never 60 TO bed with cold OF damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for un-
less the skin is in active condition the
cold viii close the pores, and favor con-
gestiOn or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage, or near the win-
dow of a car for a moment; it is danger
ous to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos
sible until the hOarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-
nently lost, or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by a fire, and
never continue keeping the back eX-
posed to heat after it has become COM
iortably warm. To do otherwise is de-
bilitating.
When going from a warm atmos-
phere into a colder one, keep the mouth
closed so that the air may be warmed
by it's passage through the nose, ere il
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still I'm cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken a slight de-
gree Of exercise; and always ayoiu

The Swallows BrotherIY Love.

curious incident Of the fellow-feeling in

we're sitting on a low roof, and were
being fed by the old bird, who dew by

did, they all stood up, whirring their
wings and chattering all, that is, except
the last but one-and that seemed 10 be
weak and unable TO rise, and so got
nothing. At last the two that fankedit,

their beals under its little white bosom;
and then and there the dear little

them with the pretdest ain Of compass

chance with the others, And it seemed

Evening CoiFures.

High coifIures of very simple design
are worn on full-dress occasions. The
back hair is taken up plainly from the
nape Of the neck or else in u French
twist, and is coiled on the crown or ar
ranged in small figures on the sides.
Sometimes a straight bang is cut across
the back to fall on the neck; in other
coiflmes there are merely some short
curls or "scolding locks at the back,
while still others arc creped and then
turned upward. A smooth bang with
the ends curled under on the forehead
but not too low upon it, is now fashion
ably worn; Just back of this there may be
small and soft PompadOur roll, or with
a low Greek forehead the front hairm may
be quite straight, and simply parted to
show its luXmiant thickness, or else
drawn straight back to the coil ON the
crown. Jewelled pins are the favOrite
ornaments for the hair, and are thrust
through the coil Small aigrettcs of
marahOut and ostrich feathers are worn
by older ladies, and there is an effort to
revive the use of small flower sprays for
those who are young. Jewelled side
combs and the larger back-combs are
worn by those who can not wear the
very high coillUcs.-HarpCr's BdSar.

Favmers as Business Men.


Il is pbpularly supposed by a large
class of farmers that none but business
men need 10 acquire a knowledge Of
business forms and rules. To their
mind the business man occupies posi-
ton similar to tho lawyer and the doc
tor; he learns his trade and proceeds to
get living by IT, This class of men
believe that business forms are unintel-
ligible, whereas they are very simple.
He is as respectful at the mention Of
the words percentage, .'draughts, "

The natives of Tartary have an in
genious way of providing for girls
They behoth them as early as possible
to some likely young man, and then if
anything happens to prevent the mar
riage he is bound to take the next sister,
and so on in rotation. This plan at
least obyiates any feeling of jealousy
among relations. Every girl in a family
knows she has an equal chance. If the
young man happens to have strong dis
inclination to the alliance he can buy
himself of for q consideration.

Miscellaneous Notes,

The Texas Pacific Company is in no great
straits for money, as it recently refused q big
foreign bid for million acres of its lands.
The best-posted Southern railroad men agree
that this is no year for receivers of roads
in Texas, as all of them are more likely to
make net money than to run behind in their
earnings.
The Canadian Pacific road runs trains west
ward from Winnipeg only LOOP miles, to Donald
Station. between the Selkirk and Rocky mount
ain ranges. Eastward to Montreal it is hoped
that the road will be kept open all winter
The Lackawanna seems to fare best of all of
the trunk lines out of New York. It is said that
at the rate of 10 per cent on the stock and dur
ing the iercest of the rate war it did not fall be-
low per cent. This is due, of course to the
immense coal traffic controlled by the road
The Union Pacific has bought 2,4OO dozen
hand grenades for the protection of its buildings
from fire. Why will it not be better for all com
panles to equip their cars with grenades than
with the more costly and cumbrous extingush-
ers. which break the hats or heads of the late
passengers who have to take the corner seats2
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad
Company has fitted up car with suitable appa-
ratus, which it is now running over the road, for
the purpose of examining employees as to color
blindness. The car stops at all stations for the
purpose of testing the eyes of switchmen, agents
and all others connected with the running of
trains.
In the matter of the complaint of the Burton
Stock-car Company, of Boston, Mass, against
the railroads belonging to the Southwestern
pool for unjust discrimination in charging a
higher rate for the transportation of their cars
than for ordinary stock-cars, a decision has
been rendered by the Illinois Railroad and Ware
house Commissioners adverse to compiainants
on the ground that the cars in question afford
better accommodations than those In ordinary
use.
