Outlook for Steel Rails.
PrrrsBuRo, Pa. Feb. lA.-Andrew Car
negie said Wednesday that the indications
are that natural gas will not last. This, he
thought, was what Pittsburg was most con-
cerned about, rather than any possible rivalry
from the south In that direction, he said,
Pittsburg had nothing to fear.
1.-THE outlook for steel rails this year is very
bad, indeed Only four mills are running to-
day out of thirteen, and but one Of these has
orders of any account ahead. That mill is
the Edgar Thomson, on a sliding scale agree
ment, which is the most perfect arrangement
ever made. Capital and labor are standing
together, and both are happy. When the
Edgar Thomson does not make 900 tons OF
rails per day it will be because there are no
rails In this country to make.
II am surprised at the excellence Of the
furnace plants, coke works. and coal and ore
mines that saw in the south. Development
has been rushed too fast, however, and nc
doubt considerable reaction will take place
but this will only be the froth upon a wave

The troublesome red spider on

Putting Away Garments AS the
warm weather approaches the putting
away of garments worn during colo
weather comes in for its share OF con
sideration. Furs and heavy outside
wraps can be placed away in shor
time now, but the hannels ought to b.
worn until the weather is surely settled
ere changing for lighter ones. 1t is 1
mistake TO wear fur garments OF any
kind on warm spring days, for more
harm is done to them in one day Of thii
kind than in a months wear of colo
weather. They should be placed away
as soon as thrown off for lighter wraps
and not let remain in closets, taking VI
the space wanted for other clothes.

sIcKLY LITTLE PIGS.
How to Prevent the Occurrence of Diar-
rh@a and Colds

How to Prevent the Occurrence of Diar-
rh@a and Colds.
Joseph Harris says that the most
common complaints of little pigs are
diarrhoea and colds. The former is
caused by giving the SOW improper
food, or too sudden change OF diet, or
by irregular feeding, or from want OF
pure water and fresh air. We once
had few cooked beans that were left
in the steam-barrel until they decom-
posed. They were thrown on to the
manure heap, and a SOW which was
sucking pigs, ate some Of them. Two
days afterwards the whole litter was
seized with violent diarrhea and one
of them died in the course OF two or
three days. 1t was the worst case of
the kind we ever had, and the diar-
rhoea continued for four or five days,
and was not stopped until we gave the
pigs two or three drops OF laudanum
each, at night, in some fresh cream,
with teaspoon. and repeated the dose
the next morning This effected a
cure, but the pigs did not regain their
thrifty growth for week or ten days.
We should add that the SOW continued
perfectly we'll and manifested no symp-
toms of the complaint
AS a general rule no medicine will
be required. Change the food of the
mother, and let her go out into the air,
but let the little pigs remain in the pen
and see that they are warm and COM
Portable. The less they are disturbed
and the more they sleep, the sooner
will they recover. 1t is also very i'm
portant to keep the pen clean and well
ventilated. Nothing can be eworse than
to leave the excavations in the pen.
Scatter some dry earth about the pen
to absorb the offensive gases. Let the
feeding apartment also be busted over
with dry earth, or soil OF any kind that
can be obtained, and then scraped and
busted and washed and a little dry
straw OF chaff or sawdust be spread on
It to prevent dampness Scald the pig
troughs with boiling water and make
them sweet and clean. Let this be
done every day. The attendant should
understand that the scours are an evil
dence of carelessness or negligence. -

This cost can only be reduced by cul.
tivating better land and increasing the
yield, employing less labor and thus
increasing its efficiency, restoring the
elements to the soil and thus keeping
up its fertility, producing home sup.
plies and thus saving transportation,
cultivating less land and cultivating Il
better, and, above all, in the practice
of rigid supervision by the owner in
all the operations of the farm, and thus
save waste. wear and tear, and losses
in tools, stock and time.
The yield oftobacco could be greatly
increased and the land preserved II
some such methods were adopted. The
profits of tobacco planting depend
much more upon the amount grown
upon an acre than upon the number Of
acres cultivated. An increase in the
yield of double the present quantity
would double the proAts and improvy

"A bushel Of corn is worth nearly
