On Behalf Of the Hogs.

From O. well-considered article in the
N. E. Farmer We CLEAN the appended
paragraphs: Lett wholly to himself
the hog is a very clearly disposed crea-
ture. He likes grass, fresh fruits and
sweet gram very much better than he
likes these things after they are half
spoiled by decay. In the open field he
keeps his feeding place and sleeping
place Tree from his own filth. Hetakes
cold, and gets fevers under precisely
the same conditions that would bring
a cold or fever into the family of its
owner, and he is subject to contagious
diseases that affect him very much as
other contagious diseases affect man.
"We have seen many pens the past
summer, and they can be seer every
day in the year by those who WILCOX
sor them, where the soft mud and
sinking filth a foot deep extended
over the whole urea, SO there
was not SO much as a single dry straw
to sleep on. The hogs must sleep in
water, and eat in soft mnd, made not
only filthy, but poisonous, by their
own excrements. In such pens farm
ers often throw ears of corn to be
eaten in the mud, and when the animals
become sick from exposure to cold or
wet, or poisoned by their fifty food
the owners wonder what made them
sick.
Confined in a small pen hogs should
have at all times clean, dry places to
eat and to sleep. No animal is ever
gaining proftably to its keeper when
that animal is bodily or mentally I'M
comfortable. A little muddy water
to wallow in will not seriously injure
a hog, if it can have q dry place to
lie in. Muddy water is better than
none, especially in hot weather. 1t is
believed by many that the pigs legs
should often be wet to keep the It's
sues open and active. At any rate,
water is agreeable to the hog, and if
he is fed largely upon dry food, pure
water is indispensable to good
aealth."
Farmers who would grow n special

prices somewhat above the average

Marketing Poultry.

In fattening for markets remember
that you will not only get pay for
every pound your poultry gains, but
by improving the quality you gain
from one-fourth to one-half in price
on the whole. This improved quality
is more likely to be gained by feeding
corn than otherwise. Give them all
they will eat; and your poultry will
be more yellow and better than that
fatted en- any other grain. ~
Keep stock from food for "a hours
before killing; because food in thecrop
INJURIES the appearance, is liable to
sour and consumers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight. All
poultry, but more especially turkeys,
should be killed by bleeding from the
neck, and picked Immediately ,whilethe
body is warm. No strangled, scalded or.
wet-picked poultry will SELL for more
than half price. Always strip the
blood out OF the neck as soon as the
head is taken off. The skin should
then be peeled back u little and the
neck bone removed in the usual way.
Just before packing draw the skin
over the end OF the bone remaining,
and tie and trim neatly. The wing
and tail feathers must be pulled out
clean, and the intestines drawn
through as small an incision as posi-
BILE.
Be sure that poultry retains none of
the animal heat when it is packed.
1t should becold, but notfrozen. Sort
very carefully and have No. 1 stock OF
uniform quality. Each quality should
be in u separate box, containing not
more than 200 pounds, as greater
bulk is more inconvenient to handle
and o liable to get damaged.
Never wrap poultry in paper or pack
in straw. Line the boxes with clean
paper, pack closely, pack upwards
and legs out straight. Before the
cover is nailed down see that there is
no possibility OF the contents shifting
about. In shipping, mark kind and
gross weight on the The name

Keeping Onions.

Onions are kept in good order in
the following manner: They are first
thoroughly dried, and then spread
about one foot deep onadry floor and
left until they are quitefrozen through.
They are then covered deeply with
straw and left until the spring, when
they thaw out slowly and will befresh
and as good as at first. Onions are
o tipjured by one freezing; it is re-
peated freezing and thawing which
hurts them. If they are kept in Il Gel
lar they should not be heapedin large
piles, but kept in barrels and we'll ven
tilated by ofholes in thestaves.
An excellent way to keep them is to
tie them in l%ongstrings on straw ropes
and hang these to the ceiling OF the
cellar OF root house.

1t is not possible to keep cattle
through the winter upon hay and
straw alone with profit. Hay will per-
haps keep them alive and in steady
condition without loss of flesh if they
are we'll housed and cared for, but
straw will not, and they will lose flesh
and perhaps die before the winter is
over. If the cattle are fed from four
to eight pounds of corn, linseed meal,
or cottonseed meal with the hay and
straw they may gain flesh and make
q profit.
Asparagus is indispensable to the
family garden. AS it must be planted
either in the fall or the spring, the
question which is the better season is
one OF interest. ANew-Jersey market
gardener who has been growing it for
20 years says the fall is the best time
to plant, and a western farmer who
thinks highly of this necessary vegeta-
BILE for domestic use says, "Plant III
the fall by all means"
Prof. Sanborn is a strong advocate
of the use OF salt for cows in q liberal
and regular ration. He says it may
be given ad libitum, or, IN plain Eng
lisli, as much as the COWS will con-
sumo every day; and he especially
states that this supply is indispensa-
BILE in the dairy when fine bitter is de-
sired. A well known dairyman also
observes in this connection that the
want OF a sufficient supply of salt is
undoubtedly the reason why so much
difficulty is found in churning in the
winter season, when the cows have no
opportunity of getting their natural
supply from the soil, which they take
up in various ways.

Ono Woman Solve. tn. Problem.

From the Christian Union.
The Spectator heard the other day
Of one instance, which affords q prac-
teal answer to the question often
asked by women who are left unex.
pectedly without means. What shall

afforded this answer was reared in o.

had happily also endowed her with
that which wealth cannot afford.

availed herself of her advantage to GO
to a cooking school and become a
mistress in the culinary art. Misfort-
une Detailing the family, has thrown
her upon her w resources, with one
or more dependent uponher. Instead
OF tallinginto the long line OF appli-
cants for school teachers positions,
or b%urdening the mails with chill
dren's stories and poems to
be rejected by cold-hearted edit
ors, she has called hercooking skill in
to requisition. She has quietly let it
be known among her old-time friends,
that she will serve them in their kitch-
II on occasions. When any one ofthe
circle in whose parlor she once was,
and still might be a social ornament
desires to give a specially nice dinner
or tea they send for her. She brings
her cooking wrapper in a little hand
bag, takes charge OF the kitchen. as the
pilot does OF a steamship on entering
port, relieves the mistress of all care,
anxiety and concern, and sends upa
charming meal, such as a!ess cultivat-
ed cook could not provide. She is in
such great demand that her prices
have already doubled.

For Husband and wife.

From The Hall Moon.
"1t is not infrequent that a wife
mourns e the alienated affections
OF her husband when she has made no
effort herself to strengthen and increase
his attachment. She thinks because
he once loved her he ought always to
love her, and she neglects those at
tentions which engaged his heart.
Many a wife is thus the cause of her
neglect and sorrow. The woman
deserves not a husbands love who
will not greet him with smiles
when he returns from the labors OF
the day, who will not try to chain
him to his home by the sweet enchant-
ment OF a cheerful heart. There is
not one in a thousand so unfeeling
as to withstand such an influence

A despatch from Media, Pa, 10 the
Philadelphia al edgeF," In reference 70
the shafpless murder trial. says: There
were comparatively few parsons present
when the verdict was rendered, and the
business OF the session Vas quickly
despatched and johnson taken back 70
his cell In the jail behind the Court
House. Judge Clayton allowed the
counsel for the defence the usual time In
which 70 file reasons In support OF their
motion for rev TRIAL. and announced
that the matter could be argued on the
first Monday In April.
With the exception OF mere momen.
taEy breaking down soon after the result
of the trial was known, Johnson's de-
meaRor has been unchanged. AS be
was being taken 70 the prison he denied
his guilt and his eyes filled with tears
AID his voice was choked. Since then,
however, he has been unmoyed.
To-day the warden had converse
ton with the condemned man upon the
subject OF the trial, and particularly In
reference TO his whereabouts on the
night of the murder. and in reference to
Priichard's eeidence 1t the trial. john
son denied PritchRrd's statements so

Though he admitted having been with
the man ~ the times mentioned BY him.
The prisoner also attempted 10 give an
account OF himself on the night Of the
murder. To-day, the warden states, he
seems cool and collected and gives nc
signs OF breaking down.
The finding Of the jury seems to have
been very much OF surprise here, and
| opinion 10 much divided m 70 whether
johnson is the man or not. Judge
John NJ. BroomAll, distinguished
member OF the bar said to-day: INC
one here expected verdict OF murdei
in the first degree. 1t was conceded
| thas johnson was a bad man, and, ~
there was an Indictment for burglary
hanging over him, it was thought thai

gree. which would have sent him u
prison for q dozen years, would hav'
been about the right thing. My opin
