If the weather is unfavorable for keep

it, and weight on top to press it. For
immediate use we cook it and place it in
jar or dish as above described. As
soon as possible we can all the beef we
can not use fresh. Last year we used in
July canned beef that was put up in
the previous winter and it was fresh and
nice. Cook the meat for canning In a

oven, or in a covered kettle on the stove

"A Subject Deserving OF More Attention at
the Hands of Stockmen.
There has been too little attention
paid to the worms that infest our do
nestle animals They are known to ex-
list, but their habits and danger seem to
have escaped investigation and notice
by writers on diseases Of hogs espe-
cially. In my early Investigations Of
diseases of hogs, says writer in the
Western Rural, | became satisfied that
intestinal worms had more to do with
their health than was generally be-
lieved In 1881 published pamphlet
entitled THE Hog, His Diseases and
Parasites which gave an account of
my Investigations on that subject
which was intended as q warning to the
public, advising the determination Of
Intestinal worms. Since that time, and
especially the past two years, there has
been an increasing inquiry for rem
edy that will destroy worms in hogs.
have had the best results from giving
compound that contained enough
tonic Alternative and cathartic with tho
vermifuge to tone up the digestive or
gans, evacuate the bowels, and at the
same time to be safe worm destroyer.
The same theory and practice are APP
plicable to horses and sheep
l woulds also caution the readers of
the Rural against feeding stone coal or
he ashes from it to their hogs. Stone
coal is too hard and indigestible. 1t
contains the properties of coal Oil, which
is harmful. Hogs will eat it for the
sulphur it contains, which, If not mixed
with the coal, would not be objection
able II given in reasonable quantity.
Coal ashes are rough, gritty and hard,
with no medical virtue, unlike the ashes
from wood or other vegetable matter
which contain anti-acid properties and
assist digestion. 1t is the reverse Of
healthful, producing costiveness and
arrangement of the stomach and bow
els. Coal and ashes made from wood,
burned corn-cobs or any other vegetable
matter are perfectly safe and healthful
to the hog. also advise feeding salt
to hogs. The better plan is to mix it
with ashes or air-slacked lime. One
quart of salt to one peck Of ashes for
forty or fifty hogs two or three times a.
week or the same compound Of salt and

smudge-pan should be full OF holes, or
made of lath, in order that the fumes
may rise. A large dry-goods box will
answer the same purpose if it is not de-
sirab1e to be at the expense Of a special
ly-made box, but it should be quite
tight, in order to retain the smoke.
Many plants will not bear very
strong fumigating, an example being
the heliotropes and cinerarias; but If
these be sprinkled before fumigating, it
will decrease the danger of their being
injured by the smudge, After a trial
one will readily learn about what guam
tity each plant will stand.

origin Of pifrerent Races.

nj. De Quatrefages, the French ethno-
logist, has made public his conclusions
with regard to the origin and distribu-
ton OF the human race. He says all
mankind eame-from central mass in
Northern Asia, and that there
were three fundamental types-black,
white and yellow. These three types
scattered over the world and intermin-
gled, forming, in time, seventy-two dis
tinct races, which is the number now
represented on the globe. De Quatre-
FACES believes that the American Indians
came from Offending of the white and
yellow races with local quaternary

FOOLISH SUGGESTIONS.

A Little Insect That Has Caused Many .
Stout Heart to Tremble.
Mankind have in all ages been prone
to the most lamentable superstitions.
The enlightened nations Of antiquity
were no more exempted from them than
the most ignorant.
The jews as we are repeatedly in
formed in Scripture, could with diff
Guilty be restrained from idelatrous and
superstitious practices and confined to
the worship and service of the only true
God. 4
This remarkable tendency of the He
brew nation was in all likelihood caused
by their sojourn for the space of four
hundred years among the Egyptians,
whose whole system of religion was a
mass Of idolatrous observance. They
had number of ideal gods to whom
they erected temples of prodigious size
and architectural srlendor; they also
offered worship to various animals, as
the OK or bull thence the golden calf of
the Hebrews), to which they gave the
name of Apis; the dog, the wolf, the
hawk; the ibis or stork, the cat and
other Creatures they likewise paid
alteration to the Nile, personifying 1t in
the crocodile, to which temples were
erected. and set apart for its service. -
The Egyptians, notwithstanding their
learning, also believed in dreams, lucky
and unlucky days, omens, charms and
magic. In . word, they were grossly
superstitious, and seem to have had but
a feeble conception, if any, of the laws
which regulate the ordinary phenomena
There is a flood of scientific light
abroad in the world, but there are, new
ertheless, many dark places where SUI
perstition broods. Thousands and tens
of thousands of people believe that the
noise which small beetle makes in
boring it's way into old furniture and
the timbers of old houses, is Fremont
tory of death.
The 'death-watch," one of the most
insignificant of insects, has caused many
a stout heart to tremble at the sound
made by the attrition between its neck
and body in the act of tunneling. 1t is
a sly creature, and the fact that 1t does
its .ticking" chiefly in the night, gives
+ it mysterious interest for the ignorant.
If you capture a death-watch it invariably
plays possum"--feigning insensibility
SO pertinaciously that it is said the APP
plieation Of fire will notinduce the little
hypocrite to betray the slightest indica-
ton of vitality. 1t has bad habit Of
destroying woodwork, and that we be-
lieve is the only evil that can be said of
the little creature. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing, in old houses, to hear three
or four of the genus at work at once
their labors having about as much to
do with the fate of the inmates as with
the revolution of the globe upon its
axis.--N Y. Ledger.
