appeared in Thursdays CITIZEN the
Charlotte Chronicle says:
Congressman Ewart brings forward
in his Washington Post interview q
great many reasons why Eaves' nom'
nation as collector should not have beer
rejected by the senate.
Mr.. Ewart says too: "The distin

sleeves at the shrcwd manner in which
they have gulled and hoodwinked certain
republican senator's who voted will
them for Eaves' rejection"

ing drink for teething child.
A FEATHER BED or mattress will re-
main clean and in an excellent condi-
tion for years if kept in case made OF
common sheeting, which can be removed
and washed at will.
IF your fat irons get rusty rub them
first (while hotl with beeswax, then pur
a handful of salt on bit of old cotton
cloth or coarse paper, and rub the iron
over it hard and fast. This operation,
repeated two or three times, will make
the rustiest iron smooth.
ALMOST any kind Of fruit stains may
be removed by turning boiling water
through the stained part. If the first
trial does not entirely remove the stain
repeat the operation. This should be
done before the spot is set by the
usual method of washing.

is cheap enough, for gross Of rings

There are so many different kinds of
hog-houses that any one which is pre-
sented to farmers who wish to build, is
sure to find some one who thinks it Just
meets his wants, writes A. II. Sheldon,
of Iowa, in the Prairie Farmer. The
writer saw house built something like
the one described in this article years
ago, and for economy of space and gem
eral usefulness it is seldom improved
upon.
Il is not necessary, and indeed is Of
ten improbable, to construct large, ex-
pensive houses. A dry, warm shelter
for winter, and cool retreat for sum-
mer is all that is needed.
This house is twenty feet wide by
twenty-five feet long,. making room for
eight pens six feet wide by eight feet in
length, or four pens twelve by eight,
making sleeping-pen and a feeding
pen adjoining. The sides are but four
feet above the floor, the center-posts
eight feet high, and placed eight feet
apart. Under the upper roof are windows
which admit light and air directly into
the pens. The partitions are movable
light gates, and can be taken out after
the spring breeding season is over,
giving good, large feeding-foor for
little pigs. Each pen has a six-foot
pannel for its front, which can be
opened directly across the alley to guide
one of the brood-sows into the pen de-
signed for it.
The yards outside extend beyond the
ends Of the building sixteen feet, so as
to give all the room possible for exer-
else. The doors into these yards are
situated at each end, and for the two
middle pens are placed one at each sid 9
of the middle.
When fail comes the wide center can
be converted into a corn-crib, holding
at least four hundred bushels of corn,
enough to fatten fifty pigs, the number
the house is supposed to accommodate.
One hundred dollars will put this house
up in good shape, all shingled and
painted. If the farmer does his own
work and uses common boards for the
sides and ends, it need not cost as much
as this sum.
But we want building that is wind
proof in March, so use sheeting and
drop siding for the outside, and make
the roof warm also. The large doors at
each end remain closed most of the
time. A small door on the north and
double door on the south furnishes ac-
cess for feeding and care. Water is
pumped into the milk tank and con-
Quoted into the hog house in pipes, into
tank which remains full, being gov
erned by fioat-valye.
This makes feeding quite easy. The
oats, shelled corn and meal for feed
is stored in granary near by, so no pro :
vision is made for room for such feed.
The cost of the lumber would be some
fifty or sixty dollars, labor twenty five,
windows, nails, hinges, spouting, ETC.,
some fifteen more.

THE DAIRY.
Care OF Dairy Cows.

r. 4 #
Mr.. Fl. d. Sherman, Dairy Commits
sioner of Iowa, at the Iowa Fine Stock
Breeders Association, upon the care of
dairy cattle, said In cold, stormy
weather, in the month of November,
when the cows are out in the field hunt
ing that other spear of FROST bitten
grass, the dairyman is sometimes heard
to say, my cows are drying up. It would
be as appropriate to say they are freez-
ing up. The dairy can be made more
profitable by the exercise of better in
telligence in the cultivation, gathering
and curing of special milk producing
foods, such as early cut clover hay, or
early oats, fed without threshing.
The COW will eat it all, and the straw
makes the best Of stover. When oats
are 16 to is cents per bushel it is poor
policy to pay cents a bushel for thresh-
ing what you want to feed mich COWS.
The greatest economy Of all milk pro-
ducing foods is the corn-crop, culti-
waited, gathered and cured with special
reference to the production of milk.
The different methods for handling the
corn-erop ! have not time to discuss in
this paper.
With regard to the COW, we may set it
down as rule, if she cannot by proper
care and feed be made to give milk more
than seven and one-haH months in the
year, she is improbable for the dairy.
A better profit in dairying can be OBJ
tanned by the exercise of greater care
and cleanliness in handling the milk,
and especially the milk and cream in
tended for the creamery. Too often the
language of action says, it will dc, for
the creamery" This is all wrong, for il
salvation comes to dairyipe in Iowa and
renders it profitable, be assured it will
be through an intelligent, economical
creamery system. twenty-five years ago

Turning to General Legyett the Pres

Turning to General Leggett the Pres
ident said:
How many must he have?"
Sixteen thousand, :" General Leggett
responded, setting g high figure for
the purpose Of future compromise II
need be.
Turning to the Secretary the Presi-
dent asked o series of questions as to
the disposition of certain forces not
then in the field. ~How many are at
Cleveland? How many at Detroit ?"
How many here, how many there, un-
til he had gone over the available
force in the West, and had demonstrat-
ed that 1000 or 16, 900 could be sent
on to Grant.
Then Mr.. Lincoln turned to Cen
eral Leggett and asked him when he
intended to leave Washington.
@At5p. M"
@Well, want you until then"
A carriage was ordered, and the two
entered it and were driven to the Sol
diers' Home, where the President was
then living. OF all the quizzings and
close examinations General Leggett
ever experienced, those of that day
were the most severe. It must be
borne in mind that the Grant who was
then planning so great and important
q move as the reduction Of Vicksburg
was not the Grant Of Appomattox,
but only of Donelsoa and Henry, and
known then neither to Mr.. Lincoln nor
fame, as in the later days; but the
President was determined to learn all
he could from the witness then pres
ent, and as General Leggett was loyal
in heart as in speech to his chief, and
had already had a dawning realization
of the great figure Grant was destined
to cut in the civil war, his responses
were clear and to the point, and visibly
impressed Mr.. Lincoln as being as
true as they were complimentary.
General Leggett returned to the
West, and when the Union troops
marched into Vicksburg he had the
honor, although suffering from severe
wounds, to ride into the city at the
head of the First Brigade, which was
granted the privilege of being the first
to enter, receive the surrender, and
raise the Union flag.

THE POULTRY YARD.

ALL eggs left too long in the nests

FEEDING broken oil-cake to fowls

PUr your poultry droppings on the

A STRONG solution Of red oak bark is
said to be an excellent remedy for
chicken cholera. It is mixed with food
and also added to the drinking water.
WHEN shipping eggs do not over
look the color. Philadelphia and Bos-
ton customers prefer dark-shell eggs,
while New York buyers will pay little
more for an egg that is pure white in
color of shell. #
NEVER feed animals or poultry for
thirty-six hours before killing, NOR give
water for twelve hours. By SO doing it
will be easier to dress them, and saw

10 Beat an Egg.

Any child knows how to beat an egg,
which 10 true SO far as that any one BY
dint Of patience and fork can beat an
egg to froth, but one person will take
fifteen minutes and have II less light
than another in FIVE. The one will beat
fast, carrying the fork back and forth,
but entangling very little air; the other
will lift the egg, as il were, with each
beat and throw it over the fork. This
.is the proper way and does the work In
half the time. Acquire the habit Of
beating eggs, or anything else, from the
elbow, NOT using the whole arm: the
fatigue will be much lessened. The use
of egg beaters has made egg beating for
cakes, such formidable task in our
mothers days, very light one in ours,
but for beating just one egg q fork even
now, is often more convenient, Even
with beater, however, the best results

The rARM
SOU for Nursery stock.

A dry, loamy soil, not excessively rich
Is best for growing young trees for sale.
There must be potash in the soil, but
until fruit trees get into bearing, they
need less of other plant-food than do
most farm crops. In moderately heavy
soils, potash is seldom lacking, and on
these good drainage and cultivation are
more important than manure. The bulk
of growth OF leaves and wood is carbon,
and is drawn from the air through the
leaves. If nitroaenous manures are
largely used they make q soft, sappy
growth, that is easily killed by severe
cold. And besides this young trees thus
grown are apt to be too much checked
when transplanted into soil less stimu-
lated by manures.
