NOT QUITE satisfied with the Disability
Pension Act of last June the Grand Army
in session at Boston, last week voted in
favor of more liberal pensions. The inter.
ence is that some people will never be sat
isfied. The pension system of the United
States government is the most judlcious
and expensive of any other nation in the
world to-day, and the rate is increasing,
under the new act, at the rate of 5000 to
10000 per day. The query is, where will
it place us eventually?

PERHAPS better than any other politi.
clan in Pennsylvania Mathew Quay under
stands the danger engendered to his party
if the Senate persists in passing the Federal
Force Bill He has spoke against 10, and
as a mighty leader it would be well for the
great senatorial body to weigh his adYis'
in the scales of justice and equity, and this
time, at least, it will not be found lacking
in wise forethought.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Chicks only are subject to gapcs.
Cholera is always known by intense
thirst.
Gapes is the result of suffocation
caused by q small, slender worm.
Remember that the horse needs daily
exercise aud likes variety of food.
1t is claimed that sheep take readily
to good, sweet ensilage and do we'll on 1t.
Carelessness with hot ashes from the
house fires may result in serious loss by
fire.
Small potatoes will often prove more
profitable if led to pigs and poultry than
if marketed.
The profit in raising capons is much
larger than that Of keeping hens, with
less than half the trouble.
Roads and road making is now the
subject of general interest and discussion
among farming communities.
Avoid the mistake of Sowing seed too
thickly in hot beds, as crowded plants
spoil quickly if not transplanted at just
the right time.
Whenever old hot beds are replanted
with asecond crop, give them thorough
smoking to kill the lice with which they
are apt to be infested.
Professor Henry is reported as affirm
ing that uncut cornstalks make cnsilage
of the best quality, but the labor of get
ting them out of the silo IS too great.
DR.. Hoskins says, in Gar1en and
Forest, if there is best apple we surely
have it in Hunts russet, sometimes
called the golden russet of Massachusetts.
Among new breeds of poultry whose
future popularity appears to be we'll set
tied, T. H. Jacobs includes the White
Wyanndottes and White Plymouth
locks.
Testing the vitality Of oats designed
for seed should be common practice.
With ordinary methods of field culture,
probably less than one-halt the kernels
sown produce mature plants.
The way to have good neighbors is to
be o good ncishbor yourself. But neigh
borliness does not cover the borrowing
or lending of the small, every day farm
tools that every farm should have.
One farmer reports that apple pomace
proved disastrous as fertilizer, but was
q ..souelcher" on Canada thistles and
obnoxious weeds. The pomace was that
made by the old style of pressing and
contained much acid.
One of the best preventlveS against
lice in the poultry house, or in the nests
of sitting hens, is tobacco refuse, such
as the sweepings of cigar factories. BY
the use oft, with kerosene on the roots,
there need be no fear Of lice.
A deep cut made by sharp calk on
the shoe should be dressed by injecting
q little turpentine or liniment, and then

Sod Houses.

Those who have never seen or been in
sod house are apt to feel great pity for
those whom they consider so unfortunate
as to have to dwell in such q domicile.
A mere mud hut is their idea, and they
cannot imagine how one can be content
in so mean home. Just there they are
greatly in error, for while the sod house
IS not very beautiful to gaze upon out
wardlv, vet it can, when built by master
hand, be made to look very neat, and
with a coating of cement over 1t, and
little penciling, could not, at short dis
tance. be distinguished from q stone
house, while, even without these, it is
one of the most comfortable houses that
can be made for moderate sum OF
money. 1t far exceeds common frame
one for warmth in winter and GOODNESS
in summer, and is stronger and more
durable, withstauding winds and storms
that would demolish the former. 1t can
be neatly plastered inside on the walls,
which, unlike stone and brick, are not
damp after once drying out In this To-
cality we are very fortunate in having
material from which good mortar is
made, without having to purchase lime
or hair. The magnesia and sand are
used, and make a hard, durable plaster.
They can be had free OF expense by all.
If course. q shingled roof can be used
as on any other house, but in this coun.
trv those made with boards, with tarred
paper placed between the two layers,
then a layer of sod, and lastly coating
of alkali dirt, are considered preferable,
as they keep out both summers heat and
winters cold better, and seldom leak at
all when rightly made. These houses
are not plastered overhead, and when
good dressed lumber is used, fastened to
smoothly peeled pitch-pine ridge logs,
have very neat appearance ana are
more airy and roomy than if a low CELL
ing were placed overhead, and much
more healthful.
The great point for commiseration is
that most of those persons who have
them for their abiding places do not
have large enough ones. They are
generally limited to one or two rooms,
and so, of course, are often much
crowded.
A house 1sxeO feet, with 2-feet walls,
leaving room 14x16 feet in the clear,
can be finished completely, or with one
coat Of plaste"ing-which is all that
should be put on at first, as the walls
will settle some and thus crack the
plastering, and a second coat be needed
after after few mouths for $500 if
the work is hired done. But if one has
team and can do the work himself the
only expense will be the lumber for roof
or floor. base boards, sash and door, the
tarred paper and a few nails. In this
way little money will go good way,

The Height of Meanness.

The height of meanness has been often
defined. ! have heard, for instance,
that it has been reached by man who,
having been rescued from watery grave
in the Serpentine during the skating
season, and duly brought round, after
much trouble, in the Royal Humane So
ciety's receiving house, promptly stole
the graphing irons as he left the place
and sold them for old metal on his way
home! Another definition asserts that
the height of meanness consists in giving
q blind man a shilling and taking full
change for it out of his hat. But the
Woodbridge Gazette now claims for that
town the credit Of possessing the mean
est man in the person of miserly yeo-
man who refused to allow his daughter
to receive q sealskin jacket from her
uncle as present because, forsooth, he
could not afford to pay for the camphor
which would be needed to keep the
moths out of it during the summer!-

Hints for the Swine Herd.

Keep large and small separate and not
more than ten in a lot. Feed regularly
and literally of wholesome food, always
some bulky food, and let each feed be
taken up clean before more Is given.
Give wallowing places, ashes, charcoal
and salt, and plenty of exercise in tim
Der pastures yielding shade, roofs, nuts.
acorns. etc. But no doably soured slops.
Provide ventilated shelters from wind,
rain and snow, but no litter, Hogs with
litter get too warm. If you wish disease,
put your hogs to the straw pile. Main
tain cleanliness in all things. Breed cnly
mature animals and never from a show
herd. The offspring of immature or
pampared animals IS predisposed to dis
ease. Give pure water, from deep wells
protected from surface water. Well
water is not freezing cold in winter nor
lukewarm in summer. Water from
creeks Cunless fed by springs), ponds or
pools is disease breeding. Pigs should
be farrowed in early spring and kept only
on growing foods-milk, bran slops,
oats, green rye, grasses, clover and sweet
corn-until late fall; then fatten rapidly,
on corn mostly, but also green rye, blue
grass, pumpkins, boiled potatoes and
turnips, with bran, steamed clover, hay,
etc.
Kindness will do much more toward
controlling an ill-natured sow with q
young litter than club or heavy boot.
By rough treatment the farmer can get
all the fight out of an old SOW he wants,
and more. In handling an unruly SOW
it is we'll not to get scared before
getting hurt; oftentimes there is more
noise than fight. If necessary to handle
young pigs and the SOW objects to your
presence, when she is lying down quietly
spread blanket or large sack over her
head so she cannot see you; then hold
your tongue and quietly do the work.
