The Value of Coal Tar.

The true value of coal tar on the farm
has not generally come to be recognized;
As preserver of wood it is the best ana
the cheapest of anything we have inns
product may be obtained from gas works
at a yery slight cost, and when properly
applied goes great way in its use. Any
wood surface to be exposed part of the
time to moisture, will be made to last very
perceptibly longer when given covering
of tar. Those who have tried dipping
soft-wood posts, such as willow and poplar,
certify that the wood is made to last in the
ground equal to the best seasoned oak.
Well curbing, the lower boards of fences
or buildings, barn floors, in fact anything
exposed to moisture, will be well preserved
if given a covering of hot tar. As disin-
fectant it is considered very valuable, and
should be applied to the walls and roosts
of poultry houses, and to the soiled por-
tions of pig pens. The best condition in
which to apply it, as rule, is while hot.
1t is in this way the cheapest and forms a
much better preventative, yet it can be ap-
piled as a paint, by thinning with turpen-
tine when in a melted condition. This
will be found more expensive, as turpen-
tine costs about sixty cents gallon. The
ordinary way of tarring posts is to dip
them; the process is convenient, and the
result most effectual. A long, trough
like vat, provided with sheet-iron bottom,
and the whole set over brick fireplace,
makes very convenient arrangement.
Two men, each provided with hook made
of heavy wire, stand at each end of the
vat, and are able to perform the dipping
with great deal of speed. The timber
should be well seasoned so that all the
openings, resulting from cracking, may be-
come filled with the hot liquid and render
ed impervious to water. If boarded roofs
be covered with tar, water will run from
them with greatest freedom. Cast-iron
implements may be rendered rust proof by
dipping in hot tar, and the covering will
be equal to the best Japan finish.

best feed, joined with some pumpkin or
roots, barley or rye, as recommended above.
Canadians occasionally substitute barley
for corn, as do the English and Scotch also.
Formerly, before our corn was imported
into Great Britain, the farmers there fat
tened their swine almost entirely on barley,
and their hams and bacon, in consequence
of this, were quite nice, especially when
made from the Berkshire breed. When
not running on grass lot, give the swine
a few Jumps of charcoal or chunks of rotten
wood to gnaw. 1t is said that the former
is preventive of cholera, being an antisep-
tic, but whether so or not, both of the
above are very healthful.

Fattening Swine.
rom American Aqricult.rist.

From American Agriculturist.
Swine should be pushed forward now in
mild weather as fast as possible, as they
will gain much more rapidly on the same
quantity of food than in freezing weather.
During the fattening DSocess it has been
found highly beneficial to feed moderate
Quantity of pumpkins, for when this is
done they assist the digestion of the grain
or meal given the swine, and enables them
to more perfectly and economically turn it
into flesh, thus saving considerable per-
centage in the consumption of food. Pump
kins. or. what are richer and better, winter
smashes, ought to be grown especially for
tlis purpose by all swine keepers. Aside
fromtthis. they are excellent for the store
stock, as they will do well if fed alone on
these-that is, provided they are OF good
quiet breed. -. g.
When pumpkins are not on hand, a few
roots maybe given raw, of which beets
and ,safrots are better than potatoes, ruta-
6aoas. or common turnips. The last are
very poor feed for this purpose, better for
cattle. Grass, and especially clover, is an
excellent substitute for roots, so long as 1t
remains green and growing in autumn, but
when turned out to this, the swine ought
to have warm shed, into which they can
come when fed and to protect themselves
from dew and frost during the night, as
well as from storms.
70 make superior hams and bacon, corn
should be mixed with oats or barley, or
perhaps rye might answer, at the rate OF
-one-half to a third of one of the latter to
the former, and ground thus together.
Such feed increases the proportion OF ten
der juicy, lean streaking the fat, which is
essential to produce a fine quality Of hams
and bacon. If fat pork for sailing and
barrelinp alone is wanted, then pure corn,
whole or ground into coarse meal, Is the

Nattans' Crystal Discovery for the
Hair.-A perfectly clear preparation in one
bottle, as easily applied as water. for restoring
to gray hair its natural color and youthful
appearance, to eradicate and prevent dan
druff, to promote the growth of the hair and
stop its falling out. 1t is entirely harmless,
and perfectly free from any poisonous sub
stance, and will therefore take the place of all
the dirty and unpleasant preparations now in
use. Numerous testimonials have been sent
us from many of our most prominent citizens.
In everything in which the articles now IN
use are Objectionable, Crystal Discovery is
perfect 1t is warranted to contain neither
sugar of lead, sulphur or nitrate of silver; it
does not soil the clothes or scalp, is agreeably
perfnmed, and makes one of the best dressings
for the hair in use. 1t restores the color of
the hair ''more perfectly and uniformly than
any other preparation" and always does so
in from three to ten days, virtually feeding
the roots of the hair with all the nourishing
qualities necessary to its growth and healthy
condition; it restores the decayed and induces
new growth of the hair more positively than
anything else. The application of this won
derful discovery also produces pleasant and
cooling effect on the scalp, and gives the hair
pleasing and elegant appearance. Price 81

The Middletown, Del, Transcript of a
recent date says III. L. Arthur closed his
cannery on Monday and we have obtained
the following interesting facts from MIR. J.
B. Maxwell, superintendent. Mr.. Arthur
has put up 16S,5O4 cans, or 1921 cases of
tomatoes, and $50 cases of pie peaches.
Over 300 tons of tomatoes we're canned in
ALL Price paid to farmers, Sc per ton.
Alex. Maxwell had the best yield per acre.
From three and one-half acres he picked
thirty-seven tons and 1865 lbs, Charles
Derrickson, who had the next best yield,
got thirty six tons and one hundred lbs. off
of four acres. Over $1,000 in wages were
paid out in about two months. In wages,
fruit and other expenses over $4,000 has
been left in Middletown and immediate
vicinity during the past two months.
