Ringing Pigs.
SWINE BEee. a Journal

1t is very often that we see remarks on
the ringing of pigs, condemning it as de
lrimental to the thrift and growth of the
pigs, claiming that roofing is necessity
and pigs should be permitted to turn
over an entire clover field each year in
pursuance of its favorite habit. There is
no doubt but that the roots, dirt and
Larvae that the pig secures in roofing are
beneficial TO it, yet it is possible it can
be furnished him other than through
acres and acres OF clover. Let us follow
a pig in clover field He enters and
Immediately begins to eat the clover
as he comes to it. After a little
he commences to search for the
dainty bits; here and there
he nips off a mouthful or two. He has
then about enough, but, hoglik he
doesn't know it. He soon tires of this.
and can find nothing above ground to suit
his dainty taste; then he commences to
shove his nose under ground, turning it
up in long strips. If You watch him
closely you viii notice that he at first
seems to find something to suit his taste,
but he soon turns up long burrows, find
ing nothing. When he becomes tired,
and his exercise has made him hot, too
hot to lie on the ground, so he proceeds
to dig himself bed some several inches
deep, tearing up the sod for many feet
This Is all unnecessary. If the pig must
have fresh dirt, etc, it can be furnished
him through other more clearly and less
expensive means. When you turn him
into your clover fields you want him to
eat and not to pillow, so ring him and do
the blowing yourself; turn over n small
strip for him every few days. Devote a
small piece for this purpose, pillow and re-
pillow during the summer, and your pigs
will have their supply of fresh dirt. You
in turn will have presentable clover
field, and one giving bountiful supply
of green food through the entire season.

One summer evening after Harry and
his little sister Helen had been put to bed
a severe thunderstorm came up.
Their cribs stood side by side, and
their mother, in the next room, heard
them rs they sat up in bed and talked, in
low voices, about the thunder and light
ming.
They told each other their fears,
They were afraid the lightning would
strike them.
They wondered whether they would be
killed right off and whether the house
would be burned up. They trembled
afresh at each peal.
But tired nature could not hold out as
long rs the storm.
Harry became very sleepy, and at last
with renewed cheerfulness in his. voice,
he said as he laid his head on the pillow.
"Well, m going to trust in Cod
Little Helen sat minute longer thinking
il over, and then laid her own little Gead
down saying, "Well ! dess will do SO
tool"
And they both went to sleep, without
more words.

women can keep bees; they can do any

a tendency to heart disease, consumption
or kidney disease, and carrying hives

these diseases. Mrs. l.. Harrison employs
lrishmen to do her lifting; Mrs. St

Good Reason for Grief.
Good Housekeeping.

The mother rocking her baby in the
next room hears a deep drawn sigh and
peeps in fine nursery. "Oh, here is my
Lily" she cries in most beguiling tones.
Il know she wants to come and help
mamma" Lily shakes her dropping
head. Mamma reads the familiar aigns
but wisely refrains from any apparent
notice. She knows the cloud must burst
and the rains mast fall before the air will
be clear again; SO laying the favorite doll
in the unrespOnsive arms she returns to
her room.
Presently she heard a sobbing sigh
then another and another, each increas-
ing in volume and intensity. N 1ubled

Keeping the pores Of the farm ami
mails open is as essential to their thrift
as bathing is to our health. The skip
performs an Office more essential to life
and health than even digestion, and it is
even more important that the horse be
thoroughly groomed than that he be fed
Thorough grooming does not mean only
the removal of mud and manure from

thorough brushing and rubbing which
will clean the hide. removing all obstruc-
ton from the pores. 1t Is more necess-
AIRY to groom the horse than any other
farm animal, because he IS the last to
groom himself. Cattle will groom them
selves to a certain extent; yet there can
be no more profitable work than brush
ing and rubbing them, though it is SO
rarely done. The hog reputed to be the
dirtiest of all farm animals, is really the
most Clearly, and if allowed to do so will
keep his hide clean. This he does he does
by first putting on coat of mud. This
he scratches off and with it removes the
impurities which have adhered to his
hide and which the wet earth has loosen

the comfort of swine, but is of the utmost
importance to their health.

about the 18th or 18th day of the month.
1t has been appointed there in response
to an urgent invitation from the Colorado
State Forestry Association. seconded by
the Chamber of Commerce of the city of
Denver. A hearty and well-prepared re-
cepton of the congress awaits the arrival
of its members. The sessions are to be
held in the spacious hall of the Chamber
of Commerce, which body freely offers it
for the occasion, and has likewise APP
pointed a committee to look after the
comfort of members and visitors of the
congress, and to secure a number of ex-
cursions that will furnish opportunities
for an inspection of the resources ard
beauties of Colorado.
The congress is urgently invited to
come IN strong force, and an enthusiastic
and fitting reception is promised. The
president of the State Forestry Associa-
ton assures them that their labors can
bear better fruit in no other field than
that, since forests or some substitute for
them are necessity of the existence of
the population, and public attention
needs to be aroused TO the fact. For the
first time the American Foresty Congress
will move ont of the sphere of the east
ern wooded states over the treeless plains
to their western border. The problem
out there is the creation of forests under
the most unfayorable conditions. where
nature seems TO have largely lost its pow
er of spontaneous regeneration.

Cheese as Food.
Rural and Workman

We ought to eat more cheese and less
fat pork. There is no food that is more
healthful and which goes further to sus-
tain the natural waste of the system than
good cheese. In Europe it takes the
place of meat on the tables of the poor.
but that fact would be no recommends
ton to the American. He does not like
the idea of eating thing that isssthe last
resort of victims of the degrading govern
ments of Europe. Let us tell him that
cheese is an ever present article on the
tables of the rich, which it is. That it is
quite the thing for even children of royal
ty to feed on chaese. Every respectable
restaurant in London has on small table
in the center of the room the half-section
of large golden-yellow cheese with a
knife in it that says "come and eat me, 9
and there is a plate of crackers to go with
it. we want to introduce cheese-eating
into this country we we must stop talking
about the poor of Europe and tell how
the rich enjoy it. Make it fashionable
and it will go like hot cakes.

Dogs vs.. Hens

For a good many years sheep breeders
have been raging relentless war upon
the dog as their worst enemy, and not
without success, for in many sections a
tax of from 81 to s. is levied upon use
less ours. 1t is to be regretted that the
spirit of the law is violated by the prac-
tice of loaning or borrowing dogs about
the time the assetsor makes his rounds.
A says "That dog doesn't belong TO me
he belongs to my wife's brother over
in the other county. The assessor I'm the
other country" fails to find half the dogs
he should, and finds fewer owners than
dogs.
The destruction wrought by them upon
the focks annually is ptetty well set
forth in the papers of the country; but
we have seen nothing to show the actual
waste to our nation by the many almost
useless dogs. The actual number of dogs
can only be guessed at. In the
large cities the number OF dogs is com
paratively small. In some localitier how
ever, there are almost as many dogs as
people. BY using the few available sta
tistics on the subject, we conclude that
5000 600 dogs Is a low estimate of those
in the United States Further taking in
to consideration all trained dogs in use
by shepards and drovers, all the full
blood trained settlers, pointers and span
iels, also the dogs who earn an honest
living as beasts of burden and as rat
ters." no one will Geny that there remain
under the doubtful name Of watch dogs
and "house dogs for which shonld be
substituted useless ours and hungry
whelps," at least 100000.
Everything that these 100000 useless
dogs consumes is useful food for poul-

into poultry and eggs. The food that the
average dog consumes daily-now absol-
utely wasted would bountifully supply
three hens. Each hen would lay 1874 eggs
each year. At ! &c. each the product of
each hen would would be 81 per year.
Or, in other words, the 100000 dogs de-
stroy food to the value of SO each, or a
total of $12,O00,0O0 annually that should
thus be added TO our national wealth, and
this. too, without mentioning the vast
sums chergeable to those useless ours in
other forms of waste and destruction.

Diet Of Strong Men,

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight Of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on course brown
bread and sour wine. They we're tenn
perate in dirf, and regular and constant
in exercise. The Spanish peasant works
every day and dances half the night, yet
eats only his black bread onion and
watermelon. The smyrna porter eats
only little fruit and some olives. He
eats no beef, pork or mutton, yet he
walks off with his load of 800 pounds.
The coOlie, fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro fed on
fat meat The heavy work of the world
is not done by men who eat the greatest
quantity. The fastest or longest -winded
horse is not the biggest eater. Modera-
ton in diet seems to be the prerequisite
of endurance.
