The results of experiments made
thus far in the publication of water by
aeration have attracted much notice
The method is well known to be based
on the discovery that the action of air
in purifying water is greatly increased
by mixing the air and water together
under pressure. A Paramount, Philadel-
phia, turbine engine was converted into
an air-pump, which delivered 20 per
cent, by volume, of free air into the
water main, this being the proportion
found necessary to surcharge the

CARE OF PIGS.

The less exercise n fattening animal
takes, says Cassell, the quicker it will
fatten, and feeding pigs should be con-
fined within rs small Il space as is con-
sistent with health and comfort. The
only pigs that ought to have exercise ad
lib. are boars and breeding-sows, and
the young ones that are intended fol-
these purposes. Confinement is against
nature, and not conducive to health
but then obesity is form of disease OF
degeneration of the system, and in the
fattening of pigs there must be agree
ment between the cause and effect; in
addition to which, it is well to complete
the process in the shortest possible time.
The floors on which fattening pigs
should lie should be dry and clean, and
the styes should be warm, though well
ventilated We think pigs are better
without straw or other litter to lie on,
particularly if they lie on boards. They
always keep clean corner to lie in
when they have no litter. and if the cor
ner is boarded they crowd on it close to-
gether, and are dry, clean, and COM

when they have litter they are kept

quent supply of it. The atmosphere of
the place is certainly swecter without
the litter, for when straw becomes wet n
slow ferment sets in and nauseous odors
are evolved; in winter the litter may be
useful to help in keeping the pigs warm,
but in summer they are better without
it. and in many case il only keeps warm
the side they happen to lie on, which is
always warm when the spot they lie on
is dry and clean. Fattcning pigs grow
all the faster If they are washed once or
twice week and scrubbed with brush
each time, and they quickly learn TO like
it. This plan keeps the skin clean and
its pores open and lice can not prosper.
Some persons recommend that they
should be ''well groomed with n brush
and linseed oil" which will clean the
skin and kill the lice; but we prefer
washing with water rather than oil, be-
cause it is cleaner and cheaper. Though
commonly dirty when left to his own re-
sources, a pig really likes to be clean.
but he does not know himself how to
set about it.

An immense land Request was recent
ly made by San Franciscan. The
late James Irvine left to his only son,
among other property, 10000 acres OF
land in one body in Los Angeles Coun-
ty. This large domain Mr.. Irvine
bought Jointly with another man in
1857, paying at the rate of 374 cents per
acre. In 1875 Mr.. Irvine bought out
his partner for $250:000. He has since
been offered Sl,OO6.OOO cash for the
property. There is a valley of 10000
acres in the tract worth 800 an acre,
or S2.O00,000 for the valley. Some
small farms have been carved from this
portion and sold at this figure. On the
tract is q coal mine which is yielding an
unfailing supply of coal of good quality
for locomotive purposes, and is under
lease to representatives of the Southern
Pacific Company. There are between
10000 and 10000 sheep and several
thousand cattle upon this land. The
actual cash value of the whole tract is,
at fair estimate. about $4,000, 900.

Beer brewers in the East complain OF
the terrible expense they are subjected
to in order to obtain trade. In addition
to heavy discounts, they have got into
the way of giving their customers ice
boxes TO keep their beer in, putting in
plate-glass windows, fitting up their
bars, etc, and the man who makes the
most presents gets the trade. The per-
centage of profit in the business, they
say, is much less than is generally sup
posed at the best of times, and these
and other items eat into brewers
earnings enormously.

NUMBER So

recently pruned some rows of the Tay-
Tor kind from sucker plants, transplant
ed l6 months before; they were gener-
ally 81 feet high, feet across the top,
and presented the dense and compact
appearance of a well-kept hedge. For
pruning such line of plants a grass
hook or sickle is best TO save time
and labor, it has often been my prac-
tice when planting blackberries to plant
Strawberries in rows with them and in
rows midway between them. Some of
my best Strawberries this season were
from plants set last year along with
blackberrics. All blackberry plants,
when three feet high, should have their
terminal buds nipped. to force them to
throw ont lateral shoots. A severe nip
ping is often necessary to produce a
compact and sturdy growth capable of
resisting strong wind. The berries
should not be picked until sweet, nor
oftener than twice a week if intended for
home market, nor after being picked
should they be exposed to n burning
sun, as such exposure will change their
color from black to red, and give them
a bitter flavor. But few varieties OF
blackberry worth of general cultivation
have yet been tested. The Lawton, in
troduced about twcnty-ninc years ago,
was the first generally cultivated. Kit
tatinny followed it, and proved slightly
harder and of better flavor, but very
liable to rust, and not sufficiently hardy
to be reliable in the west. Snyder, lay
Tor, and Wallace, all originating i'm In
diana, and Stone, from Wisconsin, have
since been introduced and found to be
the only sorts that can be protitably
planted west of the Alleghanics and
north of the Ohio river They are all
remarkably productive, vigorous, free
from disease, and of the most luscious
flavor. Snyder is the first to ripcn, and
its earliness is strong point in its
favor; when grown on rich ground its
berries are above medium size.

VALUE OF ROOT CROPS.

The director of the Massachusetts
agricultural experimental station says
in his annual report: The importance
quite generally conceded to the intro
duction of liberal cultivation of root
crops in mixed farm management,
wherever deep soil and the general
character of the climate favors their
normal development, rests mainly on
the following considerations: They furn-
ish, if properly MANFRED and cultivated,
an exceptionally large quantity of valu-
able vegetable matter fit for fodder for
various kinds of farm live stock, COM
peting in this direction favorably with
our best green fodder crops; and they
pay well, on account of large returns for
the necessary care bestowed upon them
by thorough, deep cultivation to meet
success. The physical conditions % the
soil, however favOrably they may have
been for the production of crops of a
similar character, will suffer if year after
year the same system of cultivation is
carried out. Diversity in the mechani-
cal treatment of the soil. and change of
season for such treatment. can not
otherwise but affect advantageously its
mechanical condition and degree of its
chemical disintegration, promoting
thereby its fitness for retaining inherent
plant food, as well as its power of turn
ing to account atmospheric resources OF
plant growth. The roots of the same
plants abstract their food, year after
year from the same layer of soil, while
a change of crops with reference to
different root system renders it possible
to make all parts of the agricultural soil
contribute in desirable succession to-
ward an economical production of the
crops to be raised. Deep-rooting plants,
like our prominent root crops, for this
reason deserve n particular considera-
ton in the planning of rational sys-
tenn of rotation of crops. The fodder
supplied by roots. although somewhat
peculiar in its composition when COM
pared with that obtained from many of
our prominent fodder plants, where the
upper part of the plants furnishes
the main bulk, may, nevertheless, serve
as very valuable constituent in the
diet of various kinds of farm live stock,
whom properly supplemented by oil
cakes. grain, bran, hay, etc. The var
ious kinds of roots usually raised on
farms for feeding purposes differ essen
TALLY in regard to the amount of dry
vegetable matter they contain. Turnips
contain from Z to 8 per cent; ordinary
mangolds from IL to II per cent; inn
proved bcets 10 per cent; carrots from
Is to 16 per cent; sugar beets from Is
to 20 per cent of solids, OF. in other
words, one ton of improved sugar beets
is equal to from two TO two and one
half tons of ordinary turnips, so far as
the amount of dry matter is concerned.
