Being in my stockingfeet, walked in
without making any noise, and by
the light that was burning dimly l
saw rat standing against a water
pail with something that looked like
o pretty thick black cord in it's
mouth. To my utter surprise Isoon

a cord in the rats mouth was really
the toll of another rat. After much
Juggling and amid much squealing
IA great deal of which came from the
inside of the pail the outside rat
dragged another over the edge of the

lows from watery grave. At this
moment some one noislly entered the
room and the rats scampered away.

No COrsets for Girls

lean point out many Indies of my
acquaintance who have never worn
corsets, and who neither look limp
nor stoop; in fact, l have been par
ticularly struck with the greatness
of their carriage. Ny mother, why
is near sixty years of are, is much
straighter in the back and shoulders
than the most of the young ladies
whom know. She never leans back
in a chair, and does not appear to
need any artificial support what
ever. She has never worn corsets
for an hour. My opinion is that
when q person commences to Wear
corsets she is far more inclin-
ed to stoop than before, and
as to the figure, the one without
corsets is far more graceful and
pleasing to the eye than the hard,
bony-looking structure we so often
meet. ] am very glad the cutlery
against this article of dress is be
coming so decided, and / hope much
good will be the result. To put
children and growing girls into cor
sets is simply outrageous. All the
young muscles, so delicate and
beautiful, should have full play to
develop healthily rs Nature intends
them, and not be crushed and con-
fined as they must be even by the
most innocent description of corsets.
The more room these growing mus,
c!es have, the less detormity there
will he, for natur, in her healthy de-
velopment never deforms. Let Us
allow natural growth, and we shall
have healthy and vigorous bodies

A CoId Weather-Pit.

A very interesting freak OF the
weather was exhibited recently in
northern New England. The line OF
10 degrees below zero formed nearly
a circle about one hundred miles in
diameter. inclosing the central parts
of Vermont and New Hampshire. Sur
rounding this was rapid upward
slope of the temperatures while, with
in a distance of about fifteen miles on
all sides of the circle except the north,
rose 10 degrees higher. The form OF
the isotherm of zero thus appeared
as q loop extending down out of Can
ada. Fifteen or twenty miles farther
away from the cold center there was
another isothermal loop which
showed that the temperature within
that distance had risen 10 degrees
more. After that the temperature
slope was quite gradual, the line OF
20 degrees lying some distance south
of New York. It is not a pleasant ex-
perience to get into one of these at
mospheric ice pits, but the Vermont
ers are used to that sort of thing

Our improved modern pigs are the
result of the infusion of Chinese and
Siamese blood with the pigs Of En-
gland and Ireland of 100 years
ago. The Chester Whites and Po-
land Chinas OF this country are not
thoroughbred in the strict sense OF
the term, that is they do not always
reproduce their ancestors. The Po-
land China Ereed is the best one for
the practical farmer. In my expert
ence in breeding swine l find it best
to select good, clcan-cut sows, with
plenty of bone and constitution, bet
ter little coarse in bone than too
fine bred, and breed them to finely
bred Berkshire, Essex or Yorkshire
boars. The pigs will combine the
fin.ness of the boar with the consti-
tuition OF the sOws. The farmer can
not afford to breed thoroughbreds
for pork. The pigs bring most net
profit when sold ut eight or ten
months old.
1t is IL great mistake to assume
that pigs DO not require good treat.
ment. They as well repay warm and
clean quarters, with pure water to
drink, as any other animal. / teach
my pigs to drink when two or three
weeks old. 1t is very important to
warm the milk up to the temperature
of $50 to 1909, and to feed at least
three times day. If the iced is given

CRY that they drink too fast, and in
digestion results. 1t is best to feed
four Or FIVE times day.

oats and oilcake for bran. | com

pigs are weaned. 1t is important
not to conine Young pigs too closely
but let them run ST. ficient for exercise.
Many of the diseases of swine result
from too close confinement, too
much filth and improper food. / can

Feed ny Horses,

We have always been taught Oh
the farm never to feed a horse when
too warm or Immediately after a
hard days work, says writer in
the Nebraska Farmer, but it occurs
to me thai there is much more to be
said in horse feeding than this.
Physiology tells US a man needs
rest for time after eating that the
gastric juice may have time to flow,
II we eat hearty meal and at once
60 to work or exercise violently, the
gastric juice does not flow properly
and the food is not rightly digested.
The same is true of the horse. In.
stead of being so extremely careful
in feeding a horse at the end OF a
Journey or at the close of his days
work when he has time, take more
care and do not feed with grain just
previous to sharp drive or other
violent exercise. There is q great
danger to horses from over feeding
in this way, which is not fully ap
preciated. 1t is not so great with
farmers horses whose work is more
gradual and gives more time fol
digestion.

Agricultural rO.cS.

Culbroot in cabbages is prevented
by making the seed bed on new
ground or ground not used for cab
bage Tor several years.
All breeding and young growing
stock should be fed very sparingly on
corn; a mixed variety of feed for them
is much the best.
Cows at pasture after the first
severe frost want something more
than damaged grass. Grain will
come in play as well as in Midwinter.
The sheep shed should be open up
on the south side to admit the sun
light and to allow of the escape OF
the effuvia from the manure under
them, but it should be protected by
board fence high enough to shelter
them from the wind whenlyingd down.
Many breeders are engaged on the
problem of creating a new sheep,
saws a writer in the New York Trib-
une, and it viii be satisfactorily
calculated in due time. Breeding for
wool and mutton can be combined
as well as breeding fowls for weight
and quality of carcass and quantity
of eggs, which have been SO much
improved in the last few years.
The old-fashioned practice OF win
tering calves at the straw stack, with
only an occasional feed of cornstalks
or hay, ia wasteful. Young stock,
well fed, will show moregain for their
feed than when older. We do not be-
lieve in feeding straw mainly. for any
stock. If it must be fed, however.
let something that has itsfull growth
be put on such fare as subjects it's
owner to least loss.
Horse manure heats rapidly, and
even in the very coolest weather the
heap outside the stable door will be
found warm enough to melt the snow
that falls on it. 1t is rich in ammo
MIA, especially if the horse has been
fed grain. If the manure is left in
the stable, and the latter is unventi-
lated, there is not only waste of am
monia but the horses health is in
jured. Many horses are made blind
from wastage of ammonia in their
stables.
Heavier carcasses and these forced
into prime condition at the earliest
possible age, and covered with more
pounds of wool, viii prove surer
road out of present dcpressions than
will be found in convention resolu-
lions, be they ever so pertinent. OF

Tom Merritt is on deck again. II the
gentleman from Marion did not bob up
at such times the legislature would lose
one of its quaincst characters.
Merritt's stutter gives pccHliar spice
TO his stories. Several years ago, desir-
ing to achieve distinction as an orator,
he sought to have the impediment
cured. He heard of man who, it was
sail, could cure suffering, and con
suited him. Being informed that the
impeachment could be removed, he was
so elated that. he made known the fact
to all his friends, one of whom was Sam
Buckmuster, who used to run the ole
Alton penitentiary.
Don't do it," was Buckmester's adj
vice.

women are quiet comely ofclear COM
