A NATIVE Mississippian, who has known Gen. Walthall personally for thirty years, and in that time thor oughly analysed him, tells us that he is Il very weak man. He says that Senator George is standing by and de- lending his principles, and is willing to stand or fall in the fight; while ,Walthall, seeing or fearing defeat, steps down and out. He says that Walthall finds the United States sena tors somewhat harder to manage than a country jury, and that while his pol ished manners and good looks have carried him to his present lofty posi- ton, it will take brains to sustain him there. Our informant has been personally acquainted with both scna- tors for thirty years. and ought to know what he is talking about when he says that George is d statesman and that Walthall is merely goodlook- ing and polished gentleman.

An Easy Way of Poisoning Rodents With.
out Danger 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 mode of poisoning rats
without danger to the cats, fowls or
chicks. Make box two feet long, one
foot wide and one foot high Tor use u
soap box if necessarily, and have top
to it that can be raised up. At each
end, about four inches from the floor,
cut hole ~ inches in diameter.
Never raise the top unless to put in
the feed or to take out dead rat.
Place some corn meal in a pan and
leave it in the box. In the illustration
the holes are shown at A A, the top at
B, 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 soon learn to eat
the meal. Once the rat tastes the
meal Tor other food) and finds it to be
wholesome, or free from poison, it will

He was splashed all over with mud,

The operator had never addressed

Jonah, understand the coaxing voice

The operator could not reach the

he attempted it.

How Many Promising Young Animals

How Many Promising Young Animals Are
Ruined by Their Owners. ,t'..'
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 to require it.
Nor did he, because he had thick
hide and over this heavy coat of hair.
But. in carrying on our improvements,
we have thinned the hide 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-artiticial as compared to the
habits of the swine of forty years ago
it will be wise"to consider the young
pigs-the product I Of this artificial
state--as requiring special care and
protection from the time they are far
rowed till they are pretty well grown.
lt.is. an error to suppose.that sum
mer rain is not harmful to pigs. Many
farmers acting under this error permit
their weanlings to nest in the fence
corners upon the bare earth-very wet
earth after rainstorm. No matter
what season of the year this is in. even
midsummer, pigs will pile upon each
other under such circumstances, get
overheated, take cold, cough, and
wheeze as though it were December or
March. This irritation of the air pas
sages being commenced during the
summer and fall, paves the way for
continued irritation of the air passages
during the winter. barring out ell hopes
of thrift. The summer and fall seasons
are especially well calculated for build
ing the system up to meet the trials OF
the cold season close at hand; but neg
lcct of the kind pointed out bars all
chance for hardness and healthy
growth. The weanling that contracts
a severe cold in summer had better. be
dispatched and put under the sod, as
the chances will be against his paying
for the feed and nursing he will re-
quire during the winter.
In addition to trouble in the breath
ing apparatus, stiffness of muscles may
set in accompanied by rheumatic pain.
The breeder Of experience is presumed
to have often enough seen the VARIOUS re-
suits that come of exposure to wet and
chilly nights not to require any word
of caution as he has long since learned
that the high bred pig is not SO hardy
; as the more recent descendant of the
wild woods hog of history. Not only
do we meet with lung trouble and
rheumatic pains as stated, but inflam-
nation of the eyes is engendered by
exposure in summer. Especially is
this true when pigs are permitted to
sleep upon manure pile. Ammonia
engendered in manure is particularly
irritating to the eyes. Its power may
| be better understood when we consider
its effects upon the glass windows of
stables where manure and urine have
accumulated. The writer remem bers
the entire destruction of va,ua BILE
herd Of Berkshires from sleeping upon
a manure pile. If allowed to select for
himself. no pig will select wet nest.
/ but he will, on the other hand, carry
straw or other dry litter quite dis
lance, that he may be kept above even
the dampness of ordinary earth.-Prai-
rie Farmer
