Home Politeness.

A boy who is polite to his father
and mother is likely to be polite to
everyone else. A boy lacking polite
ness to his parents may have the SEM
blance of courtesy in society, but is
never truly polite in spirit, and is in
danger, as he becomes familiar, Of
betraying his real want OF courtesy
We are all in danger Of living too
for the outside world for the impress
sion which we make in society, COW
ering the opinion those who are in
a sense part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and inter
est in us, Notwithstanding these de-
fects of department and character
We say to every boy and to every
girl cultivate the habit Of courtesy
and propriety at home-in the sitting
room, in the kitchen, as well as in the
parlor, and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becom-
ing and attractive manner When
one has a pleasant smile and grace
full demeanor, it is satisfaction to
know that these are not put on, but
that they belong to the character,
and are manifest at all times and un-
der all circumstances.

About Young Pigs.

Three weeks after narrowing is the
critical time of the SOW. The pigs
then require much more milk, and
are constantly pulling at her. She
will begin to fall of in flesh, and this
is not in itself Objectionable, provided
it be not carried too far. 1t is here
that the breeder must exercise his
best Judgment. The SOW must have
a liberal and regular supply OF nutri-
tious food. Cnre must be taken not
to give her comparatively innutri-
tious food one day Ind . full supply
of rich food the next. The true plan
is to feed the little pigs, and thus les
sen their demands on the mother.
Give thema small supply OF milk from
the cow, and take pains to teach
them to drink it. If you teach one
to drink, the others will be likely to
follow it's example. The pigs should
be gradually weaned They do bet
ter to remain with the sow until eight
or ten weeks old but we would COM
mence weaving them when they ar
rive at their third week. Let out
the SOW alone, at first for an hour or
SO, gradually extending the time as
they get older When a month old
they may be allowed to go out with
the SOW for an hour or so In mild
weather, but not when it is cold or
the sun is very hot, as in some breeds
the sun blisters the backs of young
pigs. The little pigs need more eIer-
else than the mother. The great
point in the management OF the
young ones is to keep them growing
rapidly. II strong andvigorous, they
are seldom liable to any disease, and
il attach ed soon throw it of.
AT three months old the boar pigs
should be separated from the sows.

Congressman Wilson.

Congressman w. l.. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, when interviewed
with regard to Reeds speech at
Pittsburg, said "Mr. Reeds speech
is very signi ant. He told briefly
what the Republican party expects to
| do in the matter of Federal election
law. The bill under the House rules
could be passed with ease in the
lower body and its only chance OF
stoppage is in the Senate. cannot
believe Mr.. Chambers resolution will
be adopted. Years ago Henry Clay
attempted to have the Senate adopt
such a rule, as it had been adopted
by the House, but despite the fact
that he had the entire Senate at his
! back there was a tremendous storm
Of protest and Mr.. Clay abandoned
the idea as impracticable and unjust
The Federal election law that it is
proposed to pass is usurpation OF
the rights Of u State. There is only
one step farther that can be taken,
and that is to abolish the right to
vote. The trainers OF the constitu-
ton had no idea that at any future
time any party would have the au-
dacity to propose such a law. The
Republican idea is to take from the
hands OF the Senate the machinery
OF election. This is opposed to the
spirit OF the constitution. The States
have not only the right to conduct
the election Of their representatives
in Congress, but have the right to
decide whether their candidates are
elected. The general government
has, in my opinion, no right to inter
fere in such matters This law means
a Capitalization OF power and would
cause great disturbance all over the
country. As Senator Pugh has said,
it would tend to create physical de-
monstrations and would probably re-
suit in bloodshed. The present
rules of the House do not allow the
enactment OF laws as the result Of
discussion, but on the contrary the
laws that are being passed by the
House are caucus measures that are
patched up in secret conference,
brought into the House and passed
with no discussion regarding their
merits. The Judiciary bill that was
passed the other day-one OF the
most important that Congress has
considered this session, and involving
a complete change in the judiciary
system-was passed after an hours
discussion. For that reason | think
the Chandler resolution will fail in
theSenate. It's against all precedent
1t IS just as revolutionary as Mr..
Reeds rulings are, and has the
same ultimate object. the suppression
of opinion on the part of Legislators"

Feeding Hens.

A correspondent in Country Gen
tleman makes the following state
ment: have kept poultry all my
life-all kinds, under almost every
possible condition-but have never
had any hens lay as well as they have
all along through the fall and now.
have experimental with fowls to a
large extent for the purpose OF get
ting facts, and have proved my pres
ent system of feeding and forcing for
eggs. l chop together apples or the
peelings, raw or boiled potatoes and
an occasional onion after chopping
quite fine | mix intimately about two
teaspoonfuls of red pepper to ten hens,
and fully the same amount Of salt. |
pour boiling water, only little, over
the whole and then mix in corn meal
until quite stiff and moderately dry.
This feed three times q week. My
pullets, young and old hens, lay bet
ter and are better than | ever before
saw them. The combs are red, sure
indication of good thrift. The plum
age is bright and full. This is the re-
suit Of the pepper and salt. l feed
afternoons oats, barley and little
corn.

The Improvement Of the Soils.

Soils are often greatly benefited
by an admixture OF different varieties,
and nowhere is this more apparent
than whenever it is practicable to
supply an extremely sandy soil with
a portion of clay from another field :
and so clay soil will be equally i'm
proved by a heavy dressing with sand.
The trouble in such cases, however, is
that the moving Of soil in quantities
sufficiently large to produce an ap-
preciable effect is attended with too
much cost to render it at all common,
so that it can only come into use in
isolated cases and to a limited extent.
The continued cultivation Of the soil
can only be rendered profitable by
supplying it seasonably with what
ever it requires for plant food in lieu
OF what is yearly distracted by the
crops and not infrequentlya change
in its texture will, to some extent,
have much the same effect as the ap-
plication OF fertilizer, with the adj
ditional advantage that it will remain
a permanent improvement
In many cases by doing a little
yearly, as time and opportunity per-
nit, a farmer can permanently i'm
prove the character OF a moderate
area in this manner and without SEN
sibly feeling its cost. Especially
where garden plot needs it, will
such practice be found ofgreat ben
eft and can soon be made to result in
a well-balanced soil. On stiff soil the
application Of coal ashes, although
practically destitute of any fertilizing
properties, is often highly beneficial
and furnishes a good method Of dis
posing of them.
