PEAR juice, heated to los degrees,
and sealed in bottles, will not only
keep well, but prove refreshing drink
in winter.
WHEN hives are not to be moved by
wagons they should be securely fast
ened TO the wagon and packed around
with straw.
KEROSENE is the best of all insect

will injure plants and trees, it should
be applied as an emulsion.
IT is claimed that the bad condition
or many of our country roads is caused
more by ignorance of the laws of drain
age than from any other cause.
SOME one has suggested that the dogs
carry bells instead of the sheep, and
that every dog-collar should have bell
attached to it, which would give indi-
cation of their presence.
IT is not best to allow the chickens
to eat the dead bees around the hives,
as they soon get to liking them so well
that they do not stop at dead ones, but
pick them off as fast as they come out
of the hive.
THB tomato will bear ripe fruit and
contain blossoms at the same time.
The vines grow into dense mass

some of the branches and allow the

A PIGS REFLECTION.
Tho Pathetic Little story Told by tho
Pet of the Hog Pen.


Pet of the Hog Pen.
The pig has no better friend in the
northwest than Mr.. Owen, editor of
the Farm, Stock and Home, published
at Minneapolis, who in recent issue
tells the following pathetic pig story:
my master gave me but little atten-
ton when l was nursing, forgot that
the best way TO mako me grow was to
feed my mother well, and now am
poor, scrawny little fellow, and the
time to make me grow the fastest and
the cheapest is gone forever. won
der why men can't learn to raise pigs
right. Humphl the most of 'em can't
even raise u boy right Guess I'll go
and write this on my pen so my master
can see it, The well-fed SOW is the
boss feeding machine for the young
pig, and the cheapest pork maker
known then maybe he'll do better
next time.
my master lives in sight of flouG
mill and grain eleva tor, and, oh.
what lots of good stuff 1 see going out
of them that my mother tells me pigs
hundreds of miles away get to eat,
and it makes them fat and happy II
it pays other pigs masters to buy that
stuff and ship it hundreds of miles to
feed to their pigs, 1 don't see why my
master can't afford to buy it; and it
would taste SO good, and L would feel
better, too, if 1 could have some of it
in place of this hard corn all the time.
There is a hole in the trou gh l eat
out of; my master thought he stopped
it up with corn-cob, but he didn't,
and so the swill runs out and guess
the rats under our floor get more of it
than we do. Sometimes wish L was a
rat.
"My mother tells me great pains was
taken to get me a large, fat father;
and he was nice, too, she says, and
looked like him when was a baby,
but she thinks L won't be much such a
hog when 1 am grown up. She says
my papa told her that what made him
so large and round and nice was lots
of good things to eat when he was
young, not just one thing all the time,
but that stuff from the mill, and such
things. My mother says it don't make
any difference what kind of papa a
pig has, if he isn't fed right, and don't
have good pen and is sort o well
taken care of he won't amount to
much. She says of course blood will
tell, but it won't tell half SO much to
a half-starved pig as it will to one with
belly full of good stuff. and my
mother knows what she is talking
about"

How Life Can BE Prolonged With Good
Constitution Starter.
When count is taken it may be ex-
pected that the winning side of the
match for health and longevity will be
those who live carefully and in an or
derly fashion. Cornar0, Humboldt,
Cheverue, Won Moltke, DR.. Graham and
our old friend, DIR. Taylor, who recently
died over one hundred and sixty years
of age, are all practical examples OF
living, accor ding to the principles OF
hygiene, temporarily and systemati-
cally. OF DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
the same may be said, as it appears,
with some emphasis. Recently he has
spoken of his manner of life, and at
tributes his good health and the re-
markable vigor of his mind at eighty
one to the extreme care he has long
taken of himself. Never robust, he was,
nevertheless, wiry in his earlier life,
and since he reached eighty his hygienic
vigilance is unceasing The rooms
that be daily occupies are equipped
with barometers, thermometers, aerom-
eters and other instruments, the obser-
vation of which may prevent his incur
ring the slightest risk of taking cold.
He knows that pneumonia is the most
formidable foe of old age, and he is de-
termined to keep it at distance if pos
sible. He never gets up during winter
until he knows the temperature, or
takes his bath without having the water
accurately tested. He lives by rule,
and the rule is inhexible. His time is
scrupulOusly divided-so much allotted
to reading, so much to writing, so much
TO exercise, so much to recreation. His
meals are studies of prudence and di-
gestion.
One might think that it would be q
serious infection to keep up existence
by such precise, unvarying methods.
But the little doctor enjoys them, hav-
ing settled firmly into these habits
years ago. Philosophical as he is about
death, he has an eager curiosity to see
how low long he can live by following
the laws he has vigorously prescribed
for himself He thinks sometimes that
he may attain 100, which he would
dearly like, if he could retain, as he has
retained thus far, the full possession of
all his faculties No serious man of
broad views can regard the interest
DIR. Holmes takes in his health as at all
excessive, especially as it not only con-
Germs the keeping of a man with us of

preservation of body and mind at an

BODY.
Anatomical researches respecting the
influence of age upon the bodily tissues,
have in recent years revealed some very
interesting and important facts. 1t has
bsen observed that in consequence of
advancing age, after middle life the
capillary vessels of the body gradually
diminish in number, through the with
ering and obliteration Of many of these
small vessels, until, in advancing age,
the number of capillaries, and hence
the area, of this por ton of the circu-
laaion is very greatly diminished. An
other change also begins after middle
life, which is of still greater impor-
taEee. Up to about the age OF forty
years, the pulmonary artery, the large
vessel which carries the blood from the
heart to the lungs, is larger than the
aorta, the vessel by which the blood is
distributed to the body in general. The
consequence of this excess in size of
the pulmonary artery over the aorta, is
high blood pressure in the lungs, and
consequently more complete purifica'
ton of the blood from its gaseous i'm
purities than would otherwise occur.
After middle life, the pulmonary artery
decreases in size, and the aorta in
creases. This fact, together with the
increased resistance which the blood
meets in consequence of the diminished
capacity of the pulmonary vessels, re-
suits in a gradually increasing accumu.
