THE PIGGERY.
How Not to Have "Cholera."

Don't leave a we'll hog in place where
sick one is or has been moment longer
than can be helped.
Don't fail to examine such separated
we'll hogs twice day, and to remove any
that may become i'll.
Don't allow the same person to take
care of the affected and we'll hogs.
Don't allow any intercourse OF men,
dogs or hens between the pens of either
lot of hogs.
Don't put a new lot Of healthy hogs in
o pen, or upon land, where swine plague
has been for less than three years, I'M
less the same has been thoroughly
cleansed of all refuse, plowed or dug up
several times, and exposed to the air for
an entire summer season.
Don't forget that closed pens, sheds,
straw stacks and accumulated litter are
more dangerous than open country,
when swine plague has prevailed in such
places.
Don't water hogs from running
streams.
Don't place your hog pens, or runs
so that they can drain into running
streams.
Don't forget that all such places
should be we'll drained and kept as dry
as possible.
Don't bury dead hogs when you can
burn them up.
Don't sell or buy sick hogs
Don't visit your neighbors hogs when
sick or allow him to visit yours if we'll.
Don't forget that watchfulness, care
fulness and diligence will do more
to prevent swine plague than all medi-
cineS
Don't forget that without these things
being adhered to, the most practical
vaccine will ever prove next to useless.

bine good traits. The brown Leghorn
lays che smallest egg, the black Spanish
the largest. Where merely CONNER
cial egg trade is to be reached, this cross
has its marked effects. We may not
equal the Spanish eggs as an average,
but we make up sort of middle size
just the size to sell well in market. We
can combine early maturity with plump
growth. The Asiatic fowl grows slowly,
but it counts in weight. 1t would take
too long to get it to d broiler it left all

the Leghorn, for instance, on these
Asatic hens, we get the quick growth
and the body, too. This is indeed a de-
cided advantage.
Farmers, as rule, have collection
of all kinds of fowls. Fanciers call
them dunghills. Showmen class them as
mongrels But be they what they will,
If the males were killed off and pure-bred
fowls substituted, there would be more

Bones and Bone Meal.

For laying hens, bones that have been
coarsely ground are excellent, as they
are digested and used as food. They
provide the necessary phosphates and
also lime for the shells to a certain eX-
tent; they also contain a proportion of
nitrogen. Bones, when sharp, also serve
as grit, for masticating the food in the
giZzard, thus rendering service as we'll
as providing the materials for the pro-
duction of eggs. For very small chicks,
bone meal is better, and the finer the
bone meal the easier it is digested by the
chicks. Some persons buy the ground
bone, sift it, use the coarse part for hens
and the finer parts for chicks. Fresh
bones are much better than bones that
arc dry, as they contain certain amount
of meat and gelatine. Bones are very
cheap, considering their value, as the
hens will not eat very large quantity at
one time, but if fresh bones are broken
or pounded to sizes that can easily be
swallowed, the hens will consider them
quite a treat and consume large
quantity. They can be broken much
more readily when heated in an oven.-

Household Hints,

SALT water, bOraX, and carbolc Scld
are aids in the battle with vermin.
TRY keeping cranberries fresh by pus-
ting them in cold water containing (
piece of charcoal. Change the water
occasionally.
POUR vinegar over fresh fish, and the
scales will come off easily.
The luster of morocco leather is re-
stored by vanishing with white OF an
egg.
CARROTS and turnips should boil for
forty-tive minutes when young; one hour,
in winter.
WHEN your sitter becomes clogged
with flour or meal, sft some hot ashes
through it; you will be surprised to see
how nicely it is cleaned.
To WASH flannel garments, souse them
in hot water, and put them repeatedly
through a wringer. The garments
should never be wrung with the hands,
or put in cold water
To REMOVE paint from silk goods,
saturate the part with equal parts of
| turpentne and ammonia, then wash in
soap-suds and let it dry between blotting
paper, under heavy weight.
JEwELRY can be made to look like
new by washing with ammonia and
water, or alcohol, then rubbing dry and
polishing with prepared chalk, applied
with flannel or chamois skin.

THE POULTRY YARD.


In France the fattening of geese for
market is the business OF men, who do
nothing else They contract with the
dealers to get their stock in marketable
condition at certain time for price
agreed upon. France is considered the
largest pcUltry market in the world, the
keeping of poaltry being done in a man
ner that makes t pay. 1t is not uncom-
mon to see the French peasant driving
into market flock of several hundred
geese, selling them as we would so many
sheep or hogs. There are also many
who go among the farmers, pluck the
geese feathers, and market them on per-
centage; this gives employment and a
living, to many poor people. -Americdn

have more than doubled since the war,
and now comprise about OnG-third OF all
the land in the entire Republic. When,
few months ago. prices Of farm pro-
ducts were low, and there was a tempo
rary depression of agricultural interests,
these facts were not considered. The
population of the United States has not
doubled since the war, but the number
of acres under cultivation have, and one
acre will produce much more food than
IS requisite for one person. The 1000
supply was far greater than the home
demand, and, very foolishly, we were add
hitting foreign food products to the
value of $25, 600, 900 yearly to compete
with the OYer-prOductiOn of our own farm
ers.
The demand for sugar is steadily in
CreaSing, aud, by the statiSticianS csti-
mate, it will be but short time until the
sugar bill Of the Nation will reach the
enormous sum of 5000, 0O0, 600 yearly.
This should be spent with American pro-
duCerS; not a penny OF it should go
abroad. The eminent success Of the
Grand Island, Nebraska, beet sugar
works will encourage new enterprises
and within the next five years $50, 900,

for beet sugar, grown and made in the
Western States.
AS to Cotton, we are producing about
one-half of all e fiber used in the world
and we are likely to sustain our suprem-
aCy. And as to tobacco, we are likely to
become independent OF Cuba or Sumatra
for the finest growths; of good and me-
dunn kinds we already grow enough for
home use.

Buckwheat Cakes.

Nice buckwheat cakes are made of
four cups of bnckwhcat -four, one scant
cup Of yellow Indian meal, tablespoon
full of salt mixed up with three cups of
hot water and one cup of cold milk,
making the mixture about blood warm.
Beat this batter vigorously, and add a
cup of liquid yeast or yeast cake dis
solved in a cup of luke-warm water.
Buckwheat cakes, after the first rising,
should be raised with some of the batter.
For this purpose there should always be
made at least pint more than is used
each time, and this should be set away
in cool place to serve as yeast for the
next batch of cakes. These cakes raised
with buckwheat batter will be better
than the first raised with yeast.

THE DAIRY.
DiIutins Fresh MILK for Cream Raising.

Perhaps the most valuable lessons
learned in the dairy world during 1890,
were taught by the failure of the ice
crop. CreamS-ies and many large
diaries had become so accustomed to a
plentiful supply of ice that they had come
to think they could not get along without
it. But experiment and experience have
discovered that by diluting fresh milk 25
per cent. with either warm or cold water
the time of cream raising may be so much
reduced as practically to do away with
the necessity of using ice for Dreaming
milk. The lesson is of great value and
has already been the means of saving
many dollars; and, rightly used, may be
the means of saving more. We do not
know of any carefully conducted expert
ments bearing upon the point but from
the few observations made ourselves, we
are inclined to think that those who have
made really good butter without the use
of ice will find that it keeps sweet longer
and stands up better when exposed to the
air, than butter made with ice. When
ice is abundant it is apt to be used too
freely, and the milk, cream and butter be
made too cold. Whether or not diluting
the milk has any influence on the churna-
biity of the cree remains to be tested,
so far as we KNOXVILLE Jersey Bulletin.
