How Many Promising Young Animals Are
Ruined by Their Owners.
When only the scrub hog was bred
upon our farms we did not give the
care that the improved pig must have,
because he did not seem 10 require it
Nor did he, because he had a thick
hide and over this q heavy coat of hair.
Bht, in carrying on our improvements;
we have thinned the hitlc and in some
cases almost entirely bred the hair off,
breeding in fat instead. When we add
to these changes the artificial habits
under which we keep our breeding
stock artificial as compared to the
habits of the swine of forty years ago
it will be wise Z o consider the young
pigs-the product of this artificial
statc-as requiring special care and
protection from the time they are far
towed till they DIRE pretty we'll Grown.
1t is an error to suppose that a sum
mer rain is not harmful to pigs. Many
farmers acting under this error permit
their weanlings To nest in the fence

earth after a rainstorm. No matter
what season of the year this is in. even
midsummer. pigs will pile upon each
other under such circumstances, get

a severe cold in summer had better be
dispatched and put under the sod, as
the chances will be against his paying

In addition to trouble in the breath

suits that come of exposure to wet and

of caution as he has long since learned
that the high bred pig is not so hardy
as the more recent descendant of the

do we meet with lung trouble and
rheumatic pains rs stated, but inflam-

exposure in summer. Especially is
this true when pigs are permitted to
sleep upon Il mauur pile. Ammonia

irritating to the eyes. Its power MAJ
be better understood when we consider
its effects upon the glass windows of
stables where and urine have
accumulated. The writer remembers
the entire destruction of Il valua BILE
herd of Bcrkshires from sleeping upon
a manure pile. If allowed to select for
himself, no pig will select n wet nest,
but he will, on the other hand, carry

HOW ESQUIMAUx LIVE.
All Their Means of Existence Combined

All Their Means of Existence Combined In
One Animal.
While you are reading this paper
the snowflakes are falling nOiselessly
over the vast white wastes of the
frozen north. In that bleak and desc.
late country live the Esquimaux.
A people who live neither by agri-
culture nor the pasturage of sheep and
cattle, nor yet, properly speaking, by
the chase as the chase is ordinarily
understood: a people who have for food
neither beef, mutton o pork, neither
fruit, bread nor vegetables, neither
sugar nor salt, who have for drink
neither tea, coffee, wine, beer nor
spirits of any kind; for clothing, neither
silk, cotton, faxen nor wooden stuffs;
who have neither iron nor steel nor
lead nor copper nor gold nor pottery,
who have for fuel neither wood nor
coal nor ~peat-such a people are the
Esquimaux, or, as they call them.
selves, the '.Innuits" of the arctic.
1t seems at first sight impossible
that men should live amid such condi.
tions. The things enumerated appear
to include all the possibilities of food,
clothing and fire found o the earth;
and the question unconsciously arises
to our lips: Can a people, then, live
without either of these three first
necessities Of life-food, clothing and
fire."
But the %Innuits, deprived literally Of
everything hich in Our CLINE maiyaS
life possible have nevertheless found
in the world they have chosen, or into
which they have been driven, the
means of existence in a very different
shape from that in which they abound
in our southern cline.
They have found them all-food. fire,
light, clothing. arms, implements,
evcrything-combined in one single an.
imal. interior.

An Easy Way of Poisoning Rodents with

out Oar ger to Poultry.
As rats destroy large numbers of
young chicks. and are difficult to catch
in traps, or to poison them without at
the same time injuring or poisoning
the chicks, the illustration shows a
cheap and easy ruode of poisoning rats
without danger to the cats, fowls or
chicks. Make a box two feet long, one
foot wide and one foot high Tor use i
soap box if necessary, and have q top
tn it that can be raised up. AT each
end, about four inches from the floor,
cut a hole ~ inches in diameter.
Never raise the top unless to pu; in

Place some corn meal in Il pan End
leave it in the box. In the illustration
the holes are shown at a 4, the TOP at
i, and the pan of feed at c.
As the rat will feel safe and secure
from the cat, and will prefer the two
holes, SO As to have better opportu-
mites for escape, it will soon find out
the box, and will also o learn to cat
the meal. Once the rat tastes the
meal tor other food and finds it to be
wholesome, or free from poison, it will
come every night for the meal and
bring other rats. Do not poison them

In the nineteenth annual report

In the nineteenth annual report OF
the directors of the Geological society
Of Philadelphia, attention is called to
the unprecedented destruction of many
of the more valuable and important
animals of the native American fauna,
and to the need for the immediate
adoption of every means which a be
employed to save them from complete
extinction. The directors think that a
good deal may be done in furtherance of
this object, both in geological gardens
and private preserves. Of all the bis
ons now surviving outside the National
park, probably nine-tenths are COM
prised in a few herds owned by private
individuals and geological societies.
