Grass tor PlGe.

Pigs like grass, but they do not like
all kinds equally we'll, nor will they
thrive the same upon all. They have
a preference for the clovers, and will
shuu orchard ar any other grass if they
can get the clover. Therefore, in pro-
viding a pasture for pigs, it is best to
give them clover pasture. They will
eat the clover with greed. and thrive
on it. 1t is highly heterogeneous and
matchmaking, but it is not best to
expect the pigs to live exclusively on
this kind of feed. They need little
food that is more carbonaccous and
fat-producing-''food of respiration,
the scientists call it. For this purpose,
in connection with plenty of clover,
there is nothing better than corn. 1t
furnishes the necessary complement of
the clover-the fat and starch-and it
is clean, sweet-tlavored food, and,
therefore, makes good favored meat
Feed the corn or meal dry. The clover
is so succulent that the pigs crave dry
food in connection with it. So do all
animals feeding on grass, just as they
crave grass when feeding on dry hay.
A curious experience was that at the
Kansas agricultural college farm in
turning lot of pigs to grass that had
run all winter after corn-fed cattle. The
grass, except quarter of an acre out
Of an acre and a half, was orchard.
with slight sprinkling of clover.
The quarter acre was alfalfa. The lat
ter was foot high, and the orchard
grass little shorter, but of thick and
rank growth, when the pigs were turn
ed in. They fed grcedily on the alfal-
fl, and cropped tic clover, but stunned
the orchard grass, which was allowed
to 90 down and rot. They were given
no grain iced. What was the result?
They be IA to shrink in flesh. and in
twenty-sx days eight pigs that weighed
1862 pounds when turned to grass had
shrunk to to 1870 pounds Then corn
was added to their rations. but thew
had got such Il setback that it took
nearly two months to get them back to
where they were when first turned out.
This is Il case of injudlcious feeding,
but very Instructive. No private indi-
vidnal could afford to make such an OK
pertinent, but every one can profit by
the lesson taught. No one food fed to
any animal can be expected to produce
the best results. Combination and va
riety should be the rule.-Nntional

Origin of Stays.

Stays were first invented by a brutal
butcher of the thirteenth century as a
punishment for his wife. She was very
loquacious, and finding nothing would
cure her, he put a pair of stays upon
her, in order to take away her breath,
and so prevent as he thoug ht her talk
ing. This cruel punishment was in
ftlicted bv other5husbands, till at last
there was scarcely a woman in London
who was not condemned to wear stays.
The punishment became so universal
at last that the ladies in their defence
made a fashion of it, and so it has con-
tinued to the present day.

TIE Literary World is responsible
for the following: Mrs. Caroline Dana
Howe. author of the famous song
LEAF by Leaf the Roses Fall,' has met
with unexpected success in the sale of
"Ashes for Flame" her book of verses.
The cost of publication was met within
four weeks of its announcement, and
the sales are still satisfactory, it is
said. Mrs. Howe has made Portland,

most fitting that her songs should have
received so hearty a welcome from her
own townspeople.
