3. y, far than many swine.owners show

!. NJ far than many swine owners show
aemselves to be. The hogs stomach Is
small, and IL is not wise to confine him
to grass alone, if we desire that a good
gain be made; and without such gain, it
is better by far that no hogs be allowed
upon the premises, as no sort of farm
stock will pay for the rearing and fatten-
ing If kept otherwise than in market
able or very near marketable condition
from the start. Hhogs aFe kept at grass,
and this is the proper place for them,
cheap shelter should be provided, not in
one place alone, for but few, not to exceed
half a dozen, should nest together. All
that is required of summer shelter for
swine is that it turn water, and that so
completely that the nest is kept dry.
This division of the herd insures that the
droppings be not all deposited in one
place. 1t also enables those that incline
to Ego together" to have this privilege,
unmolested by the fractions members,
and there are such in all herds.-Prairte

Popularity Of Pigeon Flying.

Pigeon flying is growing to be an alb
sorbinS amusement in England, particu-
larly among the Birmingham laborers
The spread of the sport has developed
quite II new branch of railway traffic It
is the practice of flyers to send their birds
in baskets, addressed to the station mas
ter at a particular station, with the re-
quest that he release them, mark on la
bel the time that they were released, and
return the basket This request is regu-
larly granted. The officials rather like
the work. In cloudy weather porters
have been known to feed birds for three
days before setting them frec.-Ne,o York

BARE AND BARREN.

A cultivator whose experience of
tillage is full and acute, says that no
other means of improving soil is equal to
letting it rest in grass year or two.
This, he observes, ''gives renewed
vigor and vitality that nothing else will
lmpart." 1t seems paradoxical to say
that the steadier land is kept in growing
plants the richer it becomes, but it is
certain that n field left bare during the
autumn months may lose much through
the leaking away of the soluble nitrogen
formed during temperate summer
weather, while field seeded early to rye,
or any grass that will continue growing
till winter, will absorb and use, and to
save, this all-essential provision. The
bottom secret of profitable farming is to
multiply the blades of grass. York

How He Got the Taxes.

A man named Frye, who lived on
Tinker's Island, used to be the town COL
lector of Mount Desert. If he didn't get
his money the first time he called, he had
an original way of helping the delinquent
to remember that he would come again.
Taking apiece of chalk from his pocket,
he would write the word "Tax" on the
woodwork of the room in large letters,
and the authority of the official is said to
have been acknowledged so well that the
chalk was allowed to remain there till
time OF the payment of the tax had
rubbed it off -Lemiston (Ne. Jorrnal.

IN-BREEDING AND INTER-BREEDING.

1N-BREEDING AND INTER-BREEDING
These terms have often been used by
writers on breeding domestic animals, as
synonymous, but they are really of quite
different signification n-brecding
means the mating of animals which are
more or less closely related; while inter
breeding is the mating of cross bred ami
mails, that have no relationship with each
other. For example, suppose Short
horn and Hereford are bred together, the
offspring possess half the blood Of each
Next, suppose the same of IL Sussex and
Devon, then the offspring of these two
crosses together. This would be inter
breeding, their parents having no CON
sanguinity of blood between them. 1t is
n safe course to persuc, and for the attain
ment of special ends may ut times prove
quite an advantage to the cattle breeder.
In-breeding, OF breeding in-and-in as it
IS more generally termed, is dangerous
unless to person of great experience,
and who is a perfect Judge of the perfec-
tions and imperfections of animals; then
1T may be advantageous. 1t is frequent
ly followed by the unskillful with a loss
OF size, thrift and constitution; and, fin
ally, by barrenness. Fatal diseases are
also to be dreaded, for suppose the par
ent Is touched with disease: in consc-
quence then of its consanguinity with the
other, this will be likely to be intensified
In the offspring; and if both parents have
the same disease, it will probably be
doubled or quadrupled in virulencc.-

S.rayed From Home.


Saturday morning Mrs. G. c. Ireton, of
Squaw Creek. in Boise county, while suffer-
ing from an attack of brain fever, left her
room, only partially dressed, and wandered
away from her home. Her husband, who
is brother of Mr.. John Ireton, of that
nelghborhood, was just getting ready to
take his wife to Caldwell, Mrs. lreton,
feeling quite unwell, said she would lie
down for awhile, and Mr.. lreton left her in
her room, telling her he would be back in a
few minutes. As the lady had, while suf-
ferlng from similar attacks, left the house
and wandered about the premises on sew
eral former occasions, her husband took the
precaution on leaving her to gently close
and tastsn the door. He was gone only a
short time, and upon his return to the
house, he found that his wife had left by
passing through a window. A search for
her was Immediately instituted and kept
up during the day. but at late hour, Sat-
urday afternoon, 10 traces of her had been
found. The event caused much excitement
in the neighbornood, and doubtless the
search for the missing lady has been kept

The summer winds is saifin' round the bloomin
And the clover in the pastur' is big day for tht

And they been a-swiggin honey, above board and or
Till they stutter in their buzzin and stasger as they
fly.
Theys been heap O. rain, but the suns out to-day
And the clouds Of the wet spell is all cleared away.
And the woods is all the greener, and the grass is
greener still;
1t msy rain again to.morry, But 1 don't think ii
will.
Some day the crops is ruined, and the CONS
drownded out
And propba-sy the wheat will be failure, without
doubt;
Rut the kind Providence that has never failed US
yet,
Will be on hand onc't more at the 'leyenth hour,

Does the medder-lark complain. as he swims high
and dry,
Through the waves Of the wind and the blue OF the
sky?
Does the quail set up and whistle in disappointed
way,
Er hang his head in silence and sorrow all the day?
Is the chipmuck's health failure: Does he walk or
docs he run?
Don't the buzzards ooze around up thare, Jest like
they've allus dom?
Is they anything The matter with the roos.er5 lungs

Ort mortal be complann' when dumb animals re-
joice?
Then let us. and all, be contented with our lot
The June is here this morning and the is shnn'
hot.
Oh, let fill our hearts with the glory of the day,
And Danish ev'ry doubt and and sorrow far
away!
Whatever be our station, with Providence for gu de
such fine crc instance ort to make satisfied;
FOR the world is full Of roses, and the full of
dew,
And the dew is full of heavenly love that drips for
me and you.
