POSTS PRESERVED WITH PETROLEM.
In building fence around our
young orchards several years ago we
tried many plans for preserving
posts. Having occasion to remove
the fence this winter we noted the
conditions of the posts as follows:
Those set with no preparations were
decayed an inch or more in thickness;
those coated with thick wash of
lime were better preserved but were
quite seriously attacked by worms;
those posts coated with hot tar were
perfectly sound as when put in the
ground; those painted with petroleum
and kerosene were equally as sound
and az good for setting. Let the posts
get thoroughly dry, and then with a
pan of cheap kerosene and a white
wash brush, give the lower third OF
the post, the part to go into the
ground, two or three applications of the
oil, letting it soak in well each time.
Posts so treated will not be troubled
by worms or insects of any kind, but
will resist decay to remarkable de-
gree. This we find to be the simplest,
easiest, cheapest and best method OF
preservation.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

How To HAVE HEALTHY SWINE.
Carefully abstain from giving any
medicine whatever.
Keep large and small separate and
not more than ten in lot.
Feed regularly and literally vari-
ETY. of wholesome food, always some
bulky food, and let each feed be eaten
up clean before more is given.
Give wallowing places, ashes, char
coal and salt, and plenty of exercise
in timber pasture yielding shade
roots. nuts, acorns, etc. But not doub-
ly soured slops.
Provide ventilated shelters from
wind. rain and snow, but no litter.
Hogs with litter get too warm. If
YOU wish disease, put your hogs TO
the straw pile.
Maintain cleanliness in all things.
Breed only mature animals and new
err from a show herd The offspring
of immature or pampered animals is
predisposed to disease.
Pigs should be narrowed in early
spring and kept on only growing
foods-milk. barn slop, oats, green
rye, grasses, clover, sweet corn-un-
til late fall; then fatten rapidly, on
corn mostly, but also green rye, blue
grass, pumpkins, boiled potatoes and
turnips with bran, steamed clover
hay. etc.-American AgicuHwiSt.
The MULE.-A mule is always worth
% Der cent. more than horse, be-
cause 80 per cent. better. Close ac-
quaintance with mules for about five
years has taught me this fact. They
are really more docile than horses;
are harder; do more work, eat less,
and thrive upon coarser fare; are
never sick unless shamefully ill-used
or il-fed; live longer and are more
useful while they live. never saw u
mule team run away. Mules rarely
stumble on the toughest roads; and
scarcely ever balky and will pull
heavy loads as steadily as oxen, hang
inc on in the traces with all their
weight, without any jerks or giving
back. Consequently the harness lasts
longer than with horses. They may
be made as kind in disposition as
horses by the same kind treatment.
A pair of young mules, coming three
wears old, which | have raised, will
come when / whistle for them from
the far end Of 100-acre pasture lot;
will eat corn or take salt from my
hand; will enjoy petting as much as
the horse colts, and have never yet
lifted foot to kick. The mulei is made
vicious by treatment; it has the pa
tience, hardness, abstemiOusness and
docility of the ass, with the strength
and intelligence of the horse. There
is money in rearing mules and econ
omy in using them anywhere.-I1b-
