FRENCH EXECUTION.
PradO, the Murderer of Marie
Augentant, Guillotined.
BRUTAL AFFAIR THROUGHOUT
The Rabble Laugh and sing-A Chap
ter of IncIdents-rheC Condemned
Man Protests His Innocence.

PARIS. December 28.-Prado. tht
murderer of Marie Augentant, hi
mistress, was guillotined this morning
in the Place De la Roquette. He pre-
served firm demeau or to the last
and refused to confess. He declined
the services of a chaplain. An immense
crowd collected outside, last night, and
remained until Prado had been exc
cuted. The rabbIe spent the time in
singing comic songs and amusing them
selves in other boisterous ways. Prado
slept well until o'clock. He proteste
his innocence of the murder of Marie
Augentant to the last, and declare
against the injustice of this world. He
refused to disclose his real name. When
the jailers came to pinion his limbs, he
offered no resistance. While they were
engaged in this operation, he shed one
tear. The sight of the guillotine ap-
peared to hypnotic him. His death
was witnessed by 200 artists, newspaper
men, actors, lawyers and politicians,
who possessed influence sufficient to
obtain admission within the sentry
lines to the Place De la Roquette. In
fifty seconds from his appearance at
the gate of the prison
HIS BLEEDING HEAD
lay in the basket. In front OF the gates
of the prison where the execution took
place were found a group of men,
among whom were seen several of the
most distinguished meu in France.
Near the lines of trees on the upper
side of the path stood Mounetsold, of
the Coincide Franchise. Near him,
armed, were Siivestre and Henry
Rochefort. Alphonzo Daudet was said
to be present. Praoo. in walking from
the prison to the guillotine, showed no
signs of fear. His arms were tightly
pinioned behind his back. His heavy
locks, which were seen to such an ad
vanteg" in the court room, were gone.
bis clothing, seemingly, consisted of a
heavy WOODEN undershirt and dark
trousers. The shirt had been roughly
cut away from about his neck and ears.

man, hurled him onward against the
upright board, flung themselves upon
him, and by their weight bore the
victim face downward to the
5op of the low platform. That board
worked on swivel and had on rollers.
In an instant it had been wheeled for

. attaining Pigs.

lwould never begin with high feed if
/ had ever so much to do with, says \. p.
Reed, in the Grange Bulletin. 1t is
never good policy to stuff pig at the
start, if indeed it is policy to do SO at
all.
Perhaps | am somewhat of an oddity
in my theories about pig raising. In the
first place / do not believe in having
very old hogs anyway if the health Of
the people is to be looked at.
l consider pork one year old, old
enough for any one to eat, and for my
own eating prefer it under this. 4 pig
four weeks old the lst of May, kept in a
clean place, with healthful food, and
killed at Thanksgiving time, is model
pork for me.
Another point: do not favor excess
sive fairness in pigs, for excessive fat
ness is a disease in beast as we'll as in
man. The pig is naturally a gourmand
and soon becomes diseased if allowed to
stuff. While lean pigs are at a discount
and are not desirable in the sense com
monty meant, yet a pig with a goOdly
amount of muscular development as well
as a good proportion of fat, makes prob
ably the best pork, both as a healthful-
ness and usefulness, in the household
economy. To this end pigs should have
some room to exercise and some kinds
of food that will make work for them
instead of being fed altogether on some
thing that will run right down their
Threats while being kept i'll a place
where they have room simply to turn
round from the trough and lie down to

Give the pig a clean pen and he will
generally form some habits of neatness
and live up to them even when he gets
to feed the LATEST.
As to food, / would suggest n good.
clean vegetable diet, composed of corn
on the cob, meal-this is to be fed mostly
after the pig had attained its growth
apples, potatoes, pumpkins, sugar beets,
and milk.
These foods and some others in this
line are comparatively handy on every
farm. The poor farmer who hasn't much
grain may get pretty good pigs by proper
feeding upon these other things with
the meal left out altogether. unless We

When wetake into account the fact t rat
in addition to the amount that is being
paid the various agricultural colleges by
the Government for the education of
young men in agriculture and mechanics.
and the various amounts appropriated
by the different States for the encourage
ment of agriculture tthe sum of $50
600 is annually expended for the sup
port of the experiment stations of the
various States, organized underline pro-
visions of the Hatch bilD, we ought to
look for marked improvement in the
line of actual progress in every branch
of farming industry, and the question
that most naturally and forcibly pre-
sents itself is Is the progress as great
as it ought to be under the circum-
stances? Are the farmers themselves,
as a class, taking that interest in the in
yestigations IN progress thatthey ought?
1t is to be feared they are not. The
number of wide-awake farmers who are
anxious to learn what is being done for
their direct benefit appears to be com
paratively small. This ought to be so.
The farmer, as producer of necessary
articles of consumption, should take the
same interest in his business and be as
anxious for its success as he who Is en-
gagged in manufacturing or commerce,
and should study the ways and means
carefully and intelligently, being ready
to adopt any or all methods that prom
Use success. 1t is somewhat difficult to
eradicate from the minds of old farmers
the prejudice against scientific or book
farming, but there is hope of the gener-
alton that is coming on. 1t makes little
difference what name a system of labor
takes if it brings success, and it is for
the interest of all farmers to consider
all methods and then adopt the best

THE DAIRYHaS.


To A query about how to keep milk
twenty -four hours IN shipping it. the
Farming WOrid says: Add to the milk
small quantity Of bicarbonate of soda.
This addition Is by no means injurious
to health; on the contrary, bicarbonate
Of soda promotes digestion One Of the
principal daries of Paris employs no
other method but this for preserving the
milk while on sale.
A WRITER in the Dairy World tells
that mice know butter from oleomarga-
rine. Dishes soiled with pure butter
and oleomargarine were left during
night where they were inspected by
mice. They licked the platter clean"
where pure butter had been, but the
plates creased with oIeOmargarine were
untouched. Further experiments were
made and in every case the mice Toasted
on butter, but left the oleo for rats aud
men.
THE Guernsey COW is a good. strong
farmers COW, weighing usually from 500
TO POO pounds and over. They have
good bones and muscles. Their calves
are good size and make good veal; they
have good, hardy constitutions, are good
feeders, and will bear forcing when but
ter brings remuneratiye prices. They
have a beautiful yellow skin, conse-
quently they produce yellow butter,
even in winter. Their butter needs no
artificial coloring at any season of the
year, relieving ones conscience from
the burden of deceit. They have a quiet,
even disposition. Their teats are of good
size; they give good flow of milk nearly
to calying time, and frequently they can
not be dried off even for the good of the
COW, or the calf they are carrying.

Of the cream seems to ethe great hobby
of the cranks, who don't know that
years ago most Of the butter was made
by churning the sweet milk every day,
and that this is done frequently now
where the butter milk is in demand, and
there were COWS then whose milk thus
churned made Is or q pounds of butter
a week. Nor were our fathers or grand
fathers fools enough not to know when
they got all the butter of the milk, or
threw good butter away to the pigs. And
1t was not long ago when these same
ripening cranks were insisting that
sweet cream made the best and most
butter
