A FARM.YARD GATE.
IL "Opens Either Way and II Durable,
Easily Made and Convenient.

1t Opens Either Way and II Durable,
Easily Made and Convenient.
The illustration, q sketch of which is
taken from the American Agricultural,
is simple double gate frame, made to
open either way, and closed in the fol-
lowing manner: Midway between tho
gates is short post firmly driven in the
ground or mortised into the ground sill,
on both sides of which is q large but
ton" as shown in engraving. These
''buttons" are fastened to the post by a
small iron bolt with head and nut and
washers, and turn with some difficulty.
When the gate is to be opened either
way turn tho ''button" vertical on the
side toward which the gate is to be
opened, and both gates are at once free
to open that way only.
Near the lower and outer corner of
each gate is a continuance for keeping
the gate in position after it is opened,
which may be used t. help keep it firm
when closed. 1t consists of small
piece of timber as broad as the gate
frame and about an inch and half in
thickness, through which is an auger-
hole; and in this is the cylindrical piece,
which should be pointed on it's lower
end. 1t then passes through an auger-

COnnning Cows.

An Englishman who keeps his COWS
confined points out certain unfortunate
results in his herd. that might be ex-
pected of course in COWS that are kept
confined. 1t is not worth while to give
the particulars of his complaints in re-
gard to the failure of his COWS, as the
main point we wish to make is that COWS
that are confined are compelled to vio-
late natural laws and are likely to suffer
disastrous consequences. The COW is
always better free, except when the con-
dition of the weather forbids. She needs
purer air that she gets in the vast ma
jority OF cases when confined, but if
ventilation is perfect enough to furnish
her all the pure air she needs, she needs
exercise. No COW ever yet took toe
much exercise unless she was being
chased by the pesky dog or cluboed by
the pesky boy. There is no use in talk
ing, the Importance of exercise for COWS
is not appreciated Western Rural.

sent to it's purchaser, and ! was sent 70
the studio, but. much to my discomfort,
not unrolled. However, / recognised
Janvier's voice, who entered the studio
one morning and introduced himself to
Mr.. John Marble.
He was enthusiastic over the painting
in the exhibition, only regretting that
it was purchased at the first private
view, before he had seen the collection.
He also went on to say that what at
tracted his eye to the canvas, in addi-
tion to the charming pose of the beauti-
full model, was the exquisite work in tho
drapery of the background. This was
particularly interesting to him, as he
once owned tapestry hanging Of SINH
lar design.
He then gradually turned the CONVEX
sation toward the subject of the model
in the painting. While this talk was
going on learned that I had again
changed owners. 1t seems Marble had
promised to give me to his cousin, Miss
Beverly Campbell, if the painting she
so kindly posed for was sold during tho
first day of the exhibition; so was now

To Fatten Hogs.

Experiments have proved that hogs
do much better when fed corn and mid
dlings mixed instead of separs tely.
Potatoes do not make good pork when
fed alone. If middlings and boiled pc.
tatoes are fed mixed the water should
always be poured off beforehand. A
neighbor who fed great many cooked
potatoes to his hogs valued them at
twenty-five cents per bushel. They act
as an appetizer and hogs are very par.
tial to them. If the hogs are kept in
pen I would advise that the potatoes be
fed sparingly, but if allowed to get grass
they may be used in larger quantities,
as the grass will supply elements that
the potatoes lack. As killing time draws
near corn should be used to fatten of
with, but cooked potatoes may still be-
used in limited quantities with mid
dlings.-Farm and Home. 4:

FARM AND GARDEN.
PRETTY SPICY, THIS.

Some Reflections and Conclusions Upon
Modes of Judging Swino ut Fairs.
A Hoosier correspondent of the Breed
er's Gazette says: Some four or five years
ago the writer exhibited hogs at the
Kokomo, Ind, fair, at which some very
funny things happened. A Poland.
China breeder then living In that city
was selected to make the awards, using
the score-card (which was new to the
writer). He walked into the ring, pen
Gil in hand, and after some apparently
hard labor and considerable time sue
ceeded in getting a hog scored up in the
along more easily. He kept his first
card and always referred to it before
setting down q number on the next
card. The writer being of an inquisitive
sature asked him why he referred to
biz first card always before he put down
the next number. His answer was:
"Oh, that card is my base to score Bly,"
The answer being entirely too salts
factory asked no moro questions on the
subject at that time, but incidentally
remarked that the hog he was trying to
score would make very good base for
his operations.
The next day the superintendent
went back to the old pod-auger plan Of
three men to award the sweepstakes
prizes, all breeds being shown together.
The three men selected came walking
down the aisle, and among them recog-
lized very tall, slender old man with
small black eyes, long, sharp nose, and
very thin; sharp features. The SUPER
intendent called us up and pointed out
the committee and asked if all were
satisfied. I remarked that l should
reason that had heard him say that he
would not give Berkshire hog a
sweepstakes premium over Poland
China under any circumstances, ''he
didn't care d-n how good tho Berk-
shire was, or how 'ornery' the Poland
Chine was" My objection was con-
sidered reasonable one and the old
man was excused and another selected
in his place.
All went we'll until they came to the
last class, whore there were three pens
of five pigs, two Poland-Chlnas and one
Berkshire. On these the committee
tied, each choosing pen for the prize.
Two other mon wore called and they
decided to divide the prize equally
among the three, as they could not tell
which was the best. Now came the old
man and said: "I'll tell you where that
premium ought to CO." ''All right,
tell us, Uncle George" replied several.
He walked up to pen and asked:
Whose are these?" 'E. SIS" he was
answered. "Whose are these?" ''W.
NJ. IS" "And who owns these?" &c.
j." ''Thar's (using as many oaths as
could possibly be inserted into that
amount of talk) whar the ribbon ought
to go!' Then concluded that if tho
egotism and prejudice were taken
out of that man the first gentle
breeze that waited by would blow
what was left into the far beyond,
where the worm dieth not and the
whangdoodle mourneth for cranks.

TWO VALENTINES.

Love, at your door young Cupid stands
And knocks for you to come;
The frost is in his feet and hands,
His lips with cold are numb.
Grant him admittance, sweetheart mine,
And by your cheering fire
His lips shall loosen as with wine

And when the rascal went
Barefooted out into the snow

A garden full Of flowers, /
To her whose smiles like sunlight strike
Across the winter hours"

AN ARTIST WANDERED IN.

AN Anil "dNOEHED
ing notices from the press and praise
from the public, notwithstanding the
fact that 1 was pronounced "too pro-
nounced for suitable background"
Before the first private view was over
the painting had little card stuck in
the corner marked ''Sold."
I was there, too, in reality, as we'll as
by proxy in the painting. Marble had
loaned me to the decorating commit
tee, and I was hung in the corridor,
where, though almost concealed by hor-
rid palms and pernicious plants, could,
by looking through the doorway, see
the picture of myself and Miss Beverly.
One Cay it struck me there was some
thing familiar about one of the men
who was looking at our painting; he was
lost in the crowd, however, before my
curiosity was satisfied. Later he re-
turned, and for long time gazed at the
canvas. No one could wonder at this,
for it was beautiful piece Of tapestry
painting and quite did me Justice; and
Miss Beverly's figure in the foreground
undoubtedly added to the attractiveness
of the general effect.
The following day the same familiar
figure was again studying our work.
Finally l caught glance of his face.
Yes! 1t was my former owner, Jack
Janvier!
How longed to drop right off the
hooks and fall on his neck as he passed
near me! and how hated the stuck-up
plants for shutting me SO much from
view!
Day after day Janvier came to the
gallery, and our painting absorbed most
of his attention. I always knew he was
fond of me, but for such devotion as this
was unprepared.
On one occasion they all came very
near meeting. Janvier bad just turned
from the picture and passed out of the
gallery as Jack Marble, with Beverly
Campbell and her inseparable friend,
Maud, entered the opposite door. What
q pleasure it would be, i thought, to
bring them together and have the two
Jacks and the two fair maidens formally
presented. ~ III. 49,
