MANAGEMENT OF PIGS.
Neglect the Most Expensive Thing In the
Business of Raising Them.

Neglect the Most Expensive Thing In the
Business of Raising Them.
There has been much discussion
among farmers regarding the cost of
raising pigs TO the ages Of one year,
more or less, and as to what age they
should be disposed of to afford the
most profit to the farmer.
Ii is not easy to estimate the cost of
a pig. Ia order to do so we must
not only know the cost OF what the pig
eats. but we must know what he costs
at birth. We must charge him with
his share Of the cost OF keeping the
sow for one year, and the expense of
keeping the sire also, less the value of
the gain in weight or value of both
sire and dam. In case the sire and
dam are young, there is frequently, and
should always be, considerable growth
OF both in twelve months. And there
is considerable risk in keeping hogs
twelve months.
In many instances disease enters the
herd and destroys half or more, greatly
enhancing the cost Of raising a crop of
pigs, and the survivors must be
charged the are and keeping of all.
II disease enters a herd it may take all
the profits out Of the business, as it
frequently does. And the cost Of rails
ing a juvenile porker depends largely
upon the care and attention bestowed
| upon the herd.
The most expensive thing in the
business Of raising pigs is neglect. A
stunted pig costs more than one which
is kept thriving from birth until he is
placed upon the butchers block. There
is the expense of lost time, lost feed
and the risk OF disease is greater than
in a herd which is well fed and cared
for and kept in thrifty condition. The
growth of a pig will be affected large
ly by the quality and kind of food fur
nished him, and also before weaving,
the food of the o Nv. The sore mouth.

quently afflicted, is attributed, and no
doubt correctly, to feeding the sows on
dry corn and depriving them of green
food-clover and gv,ss, The blood of
the SOW is heated, and the milk is too
rich, and not sufficient in quantity.
The SOW should have "A liberal supply
of clover while sucking pigs. The
clover counteracts the heating tend

and better milk, and the pigs thrive
much better than when the SOW is fed

THE MOSlEM ARAB.


II is the Orient of art with a differ
encc-which difference can be summed
up in one word-dirt. Wearers and
dress are more Squalid by far than the
Easterns of u fancy; we imagined
them dirty, perhaps, but not nearly so
ragged, sordid and miserable. Few OF
those solemn, grave. white-cloaked
Oricntals are here who figure in the
familiar and brilliantly-colored pic
lures of our childhood; in their place
we find plenty of Arabs of the baser
sort in unwashcd, burnous and we'll
begrimcd turban, unconscious of the
tub, looking as though they descended
straight from the unsophisticated ages
before the invention of soap, and had
forgotten to inquire for that new COM
modify since its first appearance in
their belated community. In order to
initiate the general set-up Of the Arab
| at large whom one meets in the street,
the following would prove, | hatter
| myself, a fairly accurate recipe: First,
omit for a fortnight or two beforehand
your customary additions, and knock
your legs about freely with a stick on
the shins in order to acquire the neces-
sary roughness. Next, endue your
| self from head to foot in a very ancient
and dirty night-dress, which you might
prepare to perfection by mangling it,
to begin with, on the roadway with
the garden roller. Then cover yourself
above with an old and musty corr sack,
cutting a hole on top to stick your
head through, and a couple more at
the sides for your arms to get out by.
Throw over all IA sheet of dirty sack
ing, the cover of n cotton bale. or n
other coarse wovcn cloak that happens
TO come handy. Leave your legs bare,
but thrust your feet into a pair Of worry
ancient and grubby slippers, hopclessly
down at heel, selected with a UNIQUE
eye to their antiquity and dinginesss.
Finally, wrap a soilcd towel, that has
seen long service in foreign parts,
round your head ~turbanwise, and let
your uncombed locks hang down
behind picturesquely but shaggily on
your STOPPING shoulders. The get
up Of the character is then complete.
The costume will not, perhaps, succeed
at u fancy dress ball as genuine Arab,
but in the streets OF Algiers | can
guarantee with confidence that il
would escape detection by the most ex-
perienced native. Yet how pictur-
csquc they are, these dirty and Ill
dressed but stately Orientals, sitting
unmoved on their sturdy, small
donkcys, and putting their cigarettes,
or lying about uncOncernedly on the
dusty roadsides, to the still further
beginning of their much-begrimed
habiliments. We never tire of watch
ing them as we drive along the road

THE FAKE,

In a very lonely tower,
So the legend goes TO tell,
Pines a Princess in the power
or dreadful Dragons spell.
There she sits in silent state,
Always watching-always dumb,
While the Dragon at the gate
Eats her suitorS os they come
knight and Prince of every nation,
Poet, Page and ~Troubadour,
or whatever rank or station
Eats them up and waits for more.
Every knight that hears the legend
Thinks he'll see what he can DO.
Gives his sword a lovely edge, and
Like the rest is eaten, too,
All Of which ia very pretty
And romantic, too, forsooth;
But, somehow, it seems a pity
That they shouldn't know the truth.
II they only knew that really
There is no Princess to gain
That she's invention merely
or the crafty Dragons brain.
Once II CHANGED he'd missed his dinner
For perhaps a day or two;
Felt that he was getting thinner.
Wondered what he'd better do.
Then il was that he %bethought him
How in this romantic age
tReading fairy tales had taught him)
Resculng ladies was the rage.
SO a lonely tower he rented,
For a trifing sum per year,
And this thrilling tale invented,
Which was carried far and near;
Far and near throughout the nations,
And the Dragon ever since,
Has relied for daily rations,
On some jolly knight or Prince.
And while his romantic fiction
To a chivslrous age appeals,
Its q very safe prediction
He will never want for meals.

The Process Employed to separate Gold
and silver From Their Ores.
Amalgam is a compound of two or
more metals OF which one is always
mercury, and this circumstance dis
tinguishes an amalgam from an alloy.
Nature presents us with only one
amalgam which is silver, and is
termed by mineralogists native ANAL
GAM 1t occurs in Hungary, Sweden,
etc, and is met with either scmi-nuid,
massive, or crystallizcd in rhombic
dodecahedrons. Klaproth found it to
consist of 81 parts Of silver out Of 100
parts. Most metals may be amalga-
mated with mercury, and the combi-
nation appears to depend on chemical
aiipity.
When the cohesion OF metal is
slight, rs in the cases of potassium
and sodium, or when lis affinity for
mercury is considerable, as in the in
stances of gold and silver, amalgama-
ton takes place readily by mere on
tact. When on the other hand the
cohesion OF a metal is strong, or its
affinity for mercury weak, heat or in
t%ermediatc action or both are requisite
to effect amalgamatiou.
III A parts of mercury be mixed
with n part of potassium, combina-
ton occurs with the evolution OF much
heat, and when the resulting amalgam
is cold, il is hard and has the appeal
