Give q Variety of Food.

The policy of feeding any animal only
one kind of feed is a great mistake. 1t is
not possible for Them to thrive thus, nor is
this their natural way of feeding. Observe
a cow or horse at pasture. If there is any
variety in the succulent herbage, they avail
themselves of it. Even weeds are not dis
dained between mouthfuls of clover and
grass. In the barnyard in winter little
bright straw will be greedily eaten by ami
mails whose usual diet is hay. People in
cities who keep horse or COW, aud have to
buy everything they feed, are most apt to
restrict animals and with least excuse. By
using little forethought they can secure q
variety Of feed, and all will then De eaten,
with less waste than is the case where only
one kind at u time is given. Appetite fails
from lack of variety in horses and cows
as it does in men.

Fatten Hogs Early.

The old way of keeping pigs half-starved.
and then, when new corn comes, piling as
much of it in them as they will eat, is an
extravaganza mode of making pork. Pigs
should be always kept thrifty. Then when
they come to corn feeding they will be less
apt to be cloyed. The digestion of young
pigs is not strong enough for corn, one Of
the heartiest aud most fattening Of all
grains. To keep pigs thrifty, therefore,
they must have plenty of easily digested
food, and such kinds as will most promote
growth. On this they will keep nearly al
ways fat enough to kill. Their pork, how
ever. though tender and sweet, will be some
what soft. For our own use we prefer this
to the harder corn-fed pork that most farm
ers prefer, though the market is generally
higher for pig pork than for the heavier
weights that farmers often strive to at
tain

According to bulletin sent out from the
the Wisconsin station, feeding bone meal
and hardwood ashes to hogs confined to an
exclusive diet of corn and water gives the
following results:
Where ashes and bone meal were fed the
effect was to save about 100 pounds of corn
or % per cent. of the total amount fed in
producing 100 pounds of gain, live weight.
1t about redoubled the strength of the

FISHING IN THE ARCTIC.

From Forest and Stream.
Wherever there is level field of this
seasons ice inclosed by lines of hummocks
the fish are sure to be plenty. Such field
as this, about half mile long, practically
afforded living to most of the people of the
village during the season of 1888, because
that year the ice was very unfavorable for
sealing, and food was pretty scarce in the
village.
The fishing is carried on mostly by the
women and children. though one or two old
men generally go out, and one or two of the
Younger men, when they cannot go sealing
and food is wanted at the house, will join
the fishing party.
Each fisherman is provided with a long
handled ice-pick, which he frequently leaves

had an aunt, Amelia Jane,
Who taught me when a tender child,
II was a shocking sight to see
woman who was very wild.
By that she meant an Amazon,
Who walked, and rode, and even ran,
And dared to row, and swim and skate,
And wear a coat just like man
But aunt has sought the family vault,
And time has changed the little child,
Who listened when she cautioned him
Against woman strong and wild
He did not heed, he welded one,
Who had love for horses rare,
And now, too late, he finds with grief,
That he has welded gray mare.

NEW York, March 2S--In recalling
some Of fashions vagaries and contrasting
what is with what was, there is nothing that
SO forcibly proves our progress in taste as
the change in the style Of the riding habit.
Whosoever should now get herself up in
the long, flowing skirts and big plumed hats
which were considered the correct thing
some forty years ago, would be such fig
ure Of fun as could be only tolerated on the
burlesque stage. And tho there are doubt
less a few pig-headed old fogies who would
swear that the women were in the old days

THE OLD MAN SINGS.

in the meter,
And the accent might be clearer and the vol

And a polish might be added to the crude
pronunciation
But there's music, like harper played be-
fore the ancientk
When the old man takes the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings,
There is laughter choked with tear drops
when the old man sings.
And we form a ring around him, and we
place him in the middle.
And he hugs up to his withered cheek the
poor old broken fiddle,
And a smile comes on his features as he hears
the strings vibration.
And he sings the songs OF long ago with fall
tering intonation;
And phantom from the distant past his bro
ken music brings,
And tTooping from their dusty graves come
long forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle aud the old
man sings.
We let the broken man play upon the broken
fiddle,
And we press around to hear him as he sits
there in the middle:
The sound of many wedding bells in all the
music surges-
Then we hear their clamor smothered by the
sound of funeral dirges.
'Tis the story of his lifetime that in the mu-

And every LIES a blind mans tune that's

And so we sit In silence while the old man

Nothing but the distance could have

rocks which is its home; so. standing
upon the struggling animal with one
foot, the condor Kills the poor thing
with his powerful beak and his other
foot.
Like many other greedy creatures
the condor after his dinner becomes
incapable OF flight, and il is only then
that he can be approached with
safety, but even now the hunter
must be cautious and strong. \

for his great physical strength, once

He Won The Case.

Mr. McSweeney was n thorough
student Of human nature and master
Of the art OF observation. Nothing
escaped his notice. While engaged
upon n case he watched the jury as a
cat watches n mouse, and frequently
astonished his clients by ending his
arguments very abruptly and sub
mittins the matter 90 the jury.
This peculiarity Of the great Grim
iual lawyer was well shown at mnr-
der trial in San Francisco come years
ago When McSweeney arose 10
make his address 10 the jury he care
fully avoided any reference 20 the
facts set forth IN the evidence or the
laws governing them. He pointed
out the terrible responsibility resting
upon the twelve men who were sit
ting in judgment upon the life OF one
oftheirfellow citizens He al ded that
the verdict Of guilty would not fall
heaviest upon the prisoner, but upon
his family. lie ask ii the jury TO
think for moment Of the effect Of
an adverse verdict upon the wife aud
little ones Of the prisoner.
Then the speaker drew n word
picture which was a marvel Of artis-
tie rhetorical work. He brought be-
fore the eyes OF the jurymen the
home Of the accused man. He
showed the patient aud loving wife
leaving her work TO cast many an
anxious glance down the road TO see
if her husband was yet in sight, eager
TO be the first TO catch glimpse Of
his figure in the distance that a
steanng supper might await his
arrival He pictured three ruddy
faced little children swinging upon
the old gate, waiting till papa should
come home 10 them again.
At this point the lawyer noticed
that one Of the jurymen-a bluff old
Westerner-had considerable Difficult
ty in swallowing large lump which
choked him, and that there was
suspiriOus moisture ia hi, eye.
The speaker paused Turning to-
ward that juror he held out both
hands a. a little child might have
done 10 its father, and said in tone
that was scarcely audible, Gentle
men. you must send him home 10
them" Shifting unea.ily in his seat
the Juror blurted out: "Yes, by -,
well do it, too"
McSweeney instantly sat down.
The case was won. His client was
acquitted But the most interesting
point in this case, perhaps, was the
fact which the lawyer afterward
learned-that the prisoner at the bar
was an unmarried man Chicago
