self. Soon after the experiment began,
one pig had to be Withdrawn
on account of sickness. One lot
was fed new milk fresh from the COW,
with shorts; the other lots shorts and
water. All feed was accurately weighed,
and several facts are deducible from the
experiment, but we wish to use it in its
relation to milk as pig food. The result
after feeding 100 days was that those
which received the milk diet weighed
141 pounds, while those thatgot no milk
weighed 1O1 pounds, a difference OF Just
forty pounds each in favor of the milk.
But this is not all. Professor Shelton says:
"The milk fed pigs at the end of the ex-
pertinent were ripe and ready for the
butcher, while those that were fed on
shorts alone were quite unstable. The
pigs which had received the milk were
sold to the butcher at the highest market
price; the others, with possibly two ex.
ceptions, were salable only as stockers.'
Indeed, three of them did not weigh,
four months later, as much as the milk
fed pigs did at the end Of the expert
ment. ."-An,erican Agriculturist.

4 Stimulated Suicide.

An exciting scene was witnessed by
the people who were walking along
the quays in the neighborhood OF the
Pont de rAlma in Paris the other after
noon. Just as the crowd was at its
thickest poor man suddenly jumped on
the parapet of the bridge and threw
himself over into the Seine. As he was
struggling in the water another man
Jumped into the river after him, and
succeeded in bringing him safe to the
shore. The spectators of this thrilling
incident clustered round the poor fellow
and his gallant preserver and asked him
why he had taken 80 rash step. Want,
he said, had driven him to suicide.
Moved to tears by the affecting nara
tive, the man to whom this victim of
circumstances over which he had no
control, owed his life, put his hand into
his pocket, and, producing all the cash
which he had about him, presented it to
the sufferer. Inspired by this bright
example the crowd, which had mustered
in force, pressed silver and copper coins
on the poverty stricken individual who
had sou ght watery grave. Soon a very
fair sum of money was in his possession,
and, with many protestations of graft
tude and promises that he would en-
deavored in future to take the cups and
downs" of life more philosophically, he
slowly quilted the spot in company with
the man who had so gallantly res
cued him. Now, it SO happened
that a police inspector had
found his way among the throng, and
having less confidence in human nature
than the worthy holiday makers who
had been pouring francs and half-francs
into the pockets of the would-be suicide,
bethought himself of keeping an eye on
the couple. The pair walked on until
they reached public house outside the
beaten track, and into this place of
refreshments the inspector followed
them. Oddly enough, their arrival ap.
peared to be expected with some I'M
patience, for quite an assemblage of
their friends greeted them with en-
thusiasm. Drinks were ordered by the
poor man who had just been fshed out
Of the Seine, and as they we're being
discussed he gave the company graphic
account of his adventure: but the story
was very different one from that which
the horror stricken spectators of the
thrilling incident would have related.
Instead of eliciting exclamations of
sympathy and congratulations, it was
received with peaIs of laughter, in
which, strange to say, the rescued man
and his gallant preserver joined heartily.
The whole thing had been gotten up be.
tween them. One man threw himself
into the river to attract the attention of
the crowd; the other followed, and the
tale of suicide was trumped mp. The
accomplice gave his money to the friend
whom he had pulled out, in order that
the bystanders might be induced to con-
tribute freely. The '1ttle game" how
ever, was entirely spoiled by the police
Inspector marching the two rogues off to
the nearest station. There are many
such impostors in Paris.

Dental Transformation.

The last discovery in dentistry-trans-
plantation-is not quite SO new as it is
supposed to be. Sin 1715," writes
Horace Walpole, "the only thing talked
about is man who draws teeth for Six
pence, and puts them in. again for a
shilling" The operation is now dearer,
and it is only right that it should be
more skillrul. The new tooth, we are
told, must be healthy one, and presum-
ably taken, as it were alive from q
healthy person. Of course there will be
compensation for Disturbance" "a
tooth for tooth" will not be given with
out a good round sum into the bargain.
But I am much mistaken in case of this
market be generally opened, if it is not
made democratic grievance. 1t is bad
enough to hear ofthe tresses of penni-
less damsel being shorn off to supply
false hair to her richer sisters, but she
gets another crop; whereas the exhibi-
ton of toothless young person uron a
platform, with a placard explaining that
She had parted with her ivories to sun"
ply grinders to the mill of Mammon, vii.

The Deadly Skipping Rope.

"skipping ropes were formerly i'm
ported from France" said a New York
dealer to q Mail and Express reporter,
"but now they are nearly all of domes-
tic manufacture. Canada turns out a
limited number, owing to the fact that
iute is cheaper there; but, on the other
hand, the wooden handles can be FRO
duced in this country at considerably
less cost than they are able to make them
across the line. Different houses have
started in to manufacture them in this
city at various times, but it was consider
able effort to get their hands broken into
their work, and at the end of the season
they generally found that they could
have bought the ropes as cheap as they
were able to make them. They are sold
all over the country, and range in price
from twenty cents to $1.75 apiece.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Grating Wax.

How to make this is often asked, and
while there are many receipts given, the
one that we like best after forty years of
experience, is as follows: Use one pint
Inseed oil, four pounds resin, one pound
beeswax. Melt all over slow fire; stir
we'll and pour on water; when cool
enough to work grease the hands well
and work it like shoemaker's wax or
taffy. Then roll balls of convenient size
for putting into the vessel used when
grating. It should be heated over a
moderate fire, and put on the gratis thin,
but not too hot. This wax will not
crack in cold weather, nor run, even if
the weather gets up to 100 degrees in
the shade.-P3pular Gardening.

To Embellish the Corners.

Corners are sometimes eyesores from
their very barrenness. One of these may
be managed by very simple arrange.
ment of three cornered shelves covered
with felt or plush, the fronts being fin
ished with a six-inch fringe, or with
strips of Lincrusta- Walton. The shelves
should be at least twelve inches apart,
and there may be two, three or more of
them, as desired. An India silk curtain
suspended from slender brass rod from
the lower one is a pretty addition. An
other corner may have single shelf upon
which is bust or handsome vase.
Take sufficient length of soft silk or
other drapery, draw it through a brass
ring, which atfix to the picture rail, let
ting the ends fall in careless folds be-
hind the bust or other ornament, cover
ing the shelf and hanging some distance
below it. A pedestal, tall lamp or some
other arrangement would fill up the lower
part of the corner prettily.-American
CultirGt0r.

The Waste Places.

Mr.. W. W. Stevens suggests, in the
National Stockman, ways of making often
neglected and unsightly spots a source
of income, and even attractive:
''There is no use having single foot
of Improbable land on the farm, useless
bare rock, and this can be quarried and
the stone turned into fence when a
permanent one is needed. We recently
removed all out-cropplng boulders for
building a barn basement, and wished
for more before the Job was completed.
a row of fruit trees will grow and yield
good return alonga ravine where the soil
can't be titled for fear of its washing
away. A walnut grove might be started
on stony points or steep hillsides where
the plow can't be used, and an illshapen
corner will grow any amount of small
fruits, If only little attention be paid
to starting them right. We are trying
pear trees along our ravines, fruit trees
along permanent fence rows, and forest
trees on the rocky points that border the
brook that runs diagonally across one
corner of the farm"

Feeding Young Pigs.

If the young pig is not getting enough
milk from its mother to push it, which
usually occurs about the fourth or fifth
week of It's life, fix little troughs so that
none but the little ones can have access
to them, and give the pigs two or three
small rations daily of cows milk. 1t is
not best at the start to feed whole milk,
or, if so, it should be diluted with one
third water and fed to them warm and
perfectly sweet. Half pint at feed
until they are six weeks old will be found
liberal allowance, in addition to what
they get from the sow. After the
eighth week they may have the
whole milk, and the quantity may
be increased gradually until they have
all they will consume. About the tenth
or twelfth week, if small ration of
corn meal is added to the milk, the pigs
will quickly respond with added growth
and appearance. The milk is making
bone and muscle, and the corn meal will
interlard streak of fat that will give to
the hams and shoulders that fine marbled
appearance that butchers and connois.
seurs delight in. If the feeder is near q
city or large home market, where he can
supply certain butchers, it is no hard
matter by a little care and foresight to
establish brand of butchers pork that
will readily command one or two cents
above the market. But there must he
real excellence in the product. It cannot
be done with any kind of pig, by
simply making il very fat. For this kind
of feeding the Berkshire and Essex, if
pure bred, are particularly we'll adapted.
By following the plan indicated above,
with grass or clover in summer, and
steamed fodder or hay in winter, it is no
trouble to turn off pigs of 200 to $50
pounds weight at seven or eightmonths,
and this is the most that butchers want
for the local market, while during the
summer $50 pounds suits them better if
rightly fed.
This, however, applies chiefly to small
farms and nearness to market, and no
doubt the same practice can be followed
by thousands of our largest feeders with
added profit to their present course. II
Is within the observation of thinking
breeders, that if there is any hog disease
in the country certain ones seem to get
more than their share of it. This is for
the most part due either to in.breeding,
or to an exclusive corn diet. Either of
these will debilitate the constitution,
and are especially to be guarded against
If one would be success full in this busi-
ness. AS to how long the milk diet can
be pro6tably continued. we desire to
quote an experiment made by Professor
Shelton, at the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege. His experiment was made with
ten pure-bred Essex pigs, whose average
age was eighty days, and the average
weight forty one pounds and a fraction.
They. were divided into lots of FIVE
each, but each pig had pen to 1t:
