Apple Pomace for Stock.

Probably few farmers know the valae of apple pomace as feed. An analysis by the state chemist of Con- necticut proves that fresh, we'll pressed pomace 'tis richer food than any other vegetable except potatoes" But apple pomace, writes correspondent of the Indiana Farmer, to be value able. must be fed while sweet, before fermentation commences. It should also be fed in small quantities at a feeding-say fifteen pounds to each head of grown cattle. The practice of some farmers of hauling out half a wagon-load at one time is not only wasteful, but liable to produce harm. If farmers who have silos, ani who are making cider, would put therein their pomace and keep it sweet, it would richly pay for the labor. It could be fed from the silo as sweet and fresh as when taken frem the press. Here I would remark, that if it lies too long on the press it begins to fer ment, which spells it as a valuable food. The process of grinding the apples and pressing out the cider should be short, that the pomace may be fed or put away while sweet. It is estimated that the pomace product in the United States is not less than 4OO.. 900 tons, which, if properly preserved and fed, would be worth $30O,O00 pe1 year. These facts are well worth the attention of farmers who are making much cider. If pomace is so valuable it behooves those who produce much | of it to make the most out of it,

Large and Small Swine.

Large white pigs have been very popular in England, where bacon and hams are largely consumed. We have imported into this country good pigs of some of these breeds, which have made a good reputation, and among them the best known is perhaps the large Yorkshire. This name, how ever. is not absolutely distinctive, for the large white breed is not peculiar to any special county in England, where the large Yorkshire, Lanca- shire and Lincolnshire pigs are all classed as the large white breed. These three counties ;.djoin each other. and there is really no essential difference between the pigs of the several locali- ties, except as individual breeders take pains with their herds. This race of swine, which is popular in that part of England. has been much improved of late years. although the writer, when in that country as long as thirty years ago, met with many animals which weighed from 700 to 900 pounds. and these were considered as nothing un- usual as to size. A good deal has been said and written of late of early matu- ring pigs, animals which will reach a profitable weight at nine months old. But it is altogether matter of fancy, whether an animal should weigh 300 pounds in nine or ten months, or three times that weight at three times the age. Certainly there is something in the uses to be made of the pork which has an influence upon the manner of feeding the animals, and it would not do to have all the pigs of very large size. For some uses large sides and hams are desirable. and it is beyond question that the meat of a fully ma tured pig has some qualities which make it preferable to that of pig forced to great weight before it's mus cles have been matured. For some purposes fat is more valuable than lean. but generally Ca streak of lean and a streak of fat" in pork makes it most desirable for foods. The large English breeds have this peculiarity, and on that account are preferred by many feed rs.-Dr. Thu1ber CD Agri- cltZt,L2iSt.

CATCHING CRIMINALS.

Domestic Ties Which Lead Lawbroakers
into the Hands of the Police.
every once in while people read in
the papers how some man who has just
done job has skipped, leaving no trace
behind him. said central office de-
tective to reporter. ''The first thing
they do is to blame the detectives. Then,
a year or two perhaps afterward, they
hear that the man has been caught.
Then they praise the detectives for skill
and perseverance as much as they
blamed them before. They were wrong
to blame them in the first place, and
I'm not sure that they were right in
praising them SO highly afterward. In
ordinary circumstances any criminal is
sure to be caught.
"You say there are many crimes
never unraveled. That's so. But in
most of them the police get to know
who did the job, but they can't get the
evidence, and SO they lie low and wait.
In few exceptional cases it's best not
to punish anybody.
eff man runs away the police can
pinch him nine times out of ten just by
watching his home. Shakespeare never
said truer thing than when he said:
There's no place like home.' Il was
| Shakespeare, wasn't itP Well, every
man, no matter how bad he is, has a
home of some kind that he's going to
visit, although he knows that the visit
may land him in the State prison for
| twenty years, and as soon as he thinks
the coast is clear he's going to that
home. All the police have to do is to
find out that home, watch it and nab
their man when he shows UP.
"There's that man who shot the negro
| janitor. He got West and was doing
well, and nobody knew where he was.
But he had to come back to New York
to see his friends. There's Jimmy
Riey. He broke seven of the strongest
iails in the country-Sing Sing was the
last of them. What did he do when he
got out of Sing Singp He went straight
to Tenth avenue, where everybody knew
him. Now he's back at Sing Sing.
Talk to Captain Washburn about Hell's s
Kitchen and places at the foot of
West Thirty-ninth and Fortieth
streets in his precinct. He'll
tell you that whenever he wants one of
the crooks who hang out there he has
only to go there to get him. They never
try to hide in any part of the city. Do
you remember that burglar who killed
a policeman way back in the sixties,
when he was caught breaking into an
arms store on Broadwayp Well, he
thought 1t safe to come back to New
York after nearly twenty years, and the
first thing he knew he was on trial for
his life. He would have come back
sooner, too, if he hadn't been prevented
by being locked up in different prisons
out West.

A Minutes Anger.

Not long ago, in city not far from
New York, two boys, neighbors, who
were good friends, were playing. In
the course of the game dispute arose
between the boys, and both became
angry; one struck the other, and finally
one kicked the other, who fell uncon-
scious in the street, was taken home,
and now for four weeks has suffered
most cruelty. The doctors say that if
he lives he will never be well, and will
always suffer and need the constant
care of physician. If the boys had
been the greatest enemies they would
not, could not, have desired worse
fate for each other than this. But, in-
stead of enemies, they were friends and
loving companions. Now every thing
is. changed. One will never be able to
walk, or to take part in active games;
the other will never forget the suffer-
ings he has caused.
