FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
oyERFEEprNe HOGS.

Many seen 20 think that hog cannot
be overfed, and that it makes no differ
ence if they do leave lot of feed at
ono meal, they will come back and eat
it up when they are hungry, so there is
nothing wasted after all, says writer In
tho Se,nsier3. But it is easily possible
to 60 to the other extreme-to feed too
little, so as not to secure steady gain,
Or to feed too much AMI so incre ase the
cost as to materially lessen the p roits.
Feeding too little is a loss, while feel
ing too much is waste. A good as we'll
as an economical plan is to feed regu-
larly at stated times and then feed when
fattening all they can eat up clean. They
will keep healthier and thrive better
than is possible By keeping feed before
them all the time. 1t is what the anil
mails digest, not what they eat, that de-
termines the gain in proportion to the
amount OF feed supplied. Feed left over
is, to say the least, distasteful to hog,
while if slop is soaked before feeding 1t
will ferment and get sour.

Sunkeu Cities,

Dozens OF cities aud not few incon.

writers have partially or waolly disap-
pearcd beneath the waves of the restless
oceans. O1e of these was BlnglIa,

stood on the coast, but which is now
covered by the waters Of the Delaware
Bay. Wales also has its sunken city
which tradition has placed in Lake Liam
gorse. The famous city of Is was some
wherc along the coast OF Brittany, and
various places are now pointed out to the
tourist as its original site. There is said
to be suuken city in Germany some''
where in the vicinity of the Island of
Rugen; on cain days it is even said that
one may hear the bells of the city as they
are being rocked back aud forth by the
waves. w. Muller's famous lyric is
based on this old superstition. The FIRST
stanza of this exquisite little poem runs
as follows:
Hark the ia mt bells Of the sunken city

AmaIff, the sinking of which is cele-

Savanna la Mar, which went down in a;

Ba;sinu Victims fer Bull Fights.

1t is interesting to visit in Spain the
hacienda of the owner OF herd of bulls,
and to study the methods of breeding
and rearing them. You and your friends
are received with great kindness by the
host, who, after telling you that his
house is yours, will take yon out to see
the bulls. One is little afraid at first
to visit those 5000 fierce looking crea-
lures, but he is told that there will be
no danger. As the party draws near the
herd on horseback, the shepherd says:
.Senores, TO o me and be as dumb as
statues. will do all the talking.

herd, addressing the mister OF the herd,

"After number of animals had
been selected aud marked for the coming
bull fight, our host said: You may
think it strange that we can thus move
in safety among these fierce animals.
Not at all. A bull in a large herd like
this is as gentle as lamb. Let him once
get away from his companions, however,
and he will face anything living. Onco
in a while a restless fellow will start out
from the herd, anl will not mind the
shepherd who orders him to go back.
He knows what his master wants Of him
but he has breathed the air OF freedom
for the first time, and his warlike i'm
pulses are quickened. lie now hears a
well-known sound and trembleS. 1t is
produced By the whirliug sling which
his master has in his hand. He still
refuses to return TO his companions,
when all of sudden stone strikes his
left horn, causing him to turn his head
with pain. Another stone strikes him in
the body and he returns to the herd

old they are visited and their courage
is tested. This is an important occasion,
and many fashionable dandies ride mp
from Madrid to see the sport. A strong
young yearling bull is selected and
crowded out of the her1 by the horscmen.
The little fellow, finding himself alone,
will often turn and fercely charge his tor.
mentors. That charge decides his fate.
HE is a warrior and shall have a namer

of the examination all the yearlings wh'
have shown marked courage are gathered
together aud bid farewell to their I'M
warlike brothers aud sisters. -Nep York

HIGH.PRICEn FEED.

The high price of COW feed has been
a serious drawback to the dairy interest.
Those who had no soiling crops to feed
during the late drouth AMI had to buy
mill-feed, have no. made much money,
because dairy products have not been as
high in proportion as feed. The lesson
to be learned is, to grow all OF our COW
feed, or as near all as our circumstances
will admit OF. know that the sclen-
lists tell us that our COW rations must be
balanced, and also know very well
that too much balancing of rat;ous, by
buying high priced feed, will decidedly
ambulance the profits OF dairying. The
long aud short of scientific feeding is
lust this: If you have homo grown feed
that is out of balance aud bought feed
will cost more that what you have, and
the gain in feeding the bought feed will
not make up the difference in prices,
then feed what You have, and you will
be feeding a scientific ration, for sci
ence means knowledge, and If you can
make more money by feeding your
home grown ration than you can by buy
ino stuff to balance it, then you are feed
ing scientifically, for you are feeding in
the line of the best profit. Farm and

Thu Fabulous BasiIisk.

The basilisk WAS the most fan0ls OF
the many fabulous monsters Of
mei@val folklore. According to the
popular notion 1t was hatclel by toad
from an egg laid by the cock OF the COM
mon barnyarl fowl, In the aucent pic
turc book it was usual representa- as an
eight.limbel serpent or dragon, some
times with and sometimes without wings.
It's name is derived from bIsiliscos,
meaning little king, aud was applied
because the creature was figured with
circle OF white spots on its head which
much resemble a crova. The cocIatrice,
a species of basiIi'k, besides having a
crown possessed a comb which was an
exact counterpart OF the cocks. Piiny
assures US that the basilisk had voice
which "struck terror to the hearts Of
men, beasts and serpents." The Bible
classes it with the lion, the serpent aud
the dra ron as one OF the most formidable
creatures. Old writers, Piiny, Bascho
and others, say that its bite was mortal
in every case; that its breath was suffo-
eating, and that no plaut would grow in
the vicinity of its lair Its deal body
was often used suspended IN belfries, to
prevent swallows from building there. II
you have read the popular stories OF the
day you nave noted many illusions to the
"basiliSk glitter" in some hero or here
ines eye. THIS glitter was the basi-
lisk's main stock in trade. With it he is
sail to have darted death to every living
thing he looked upon. Some old his.
tories tell us how pet basilisk climbed
the walls of an Asian city which Alexan-
der the great was besieging and killed
over pol of his soldiers by simply gazing
down upon them. All plants withered
when this monster fixed his eyes upon
them, with one single exception, rue.
The Growing of cock would kill every
basilsk that heard it.-S L0uis Re-

Cunning for Ducks.

There are several methods Of cunning
for ducks in vogue. The "sneak-boats'
are covered with brush and branches in
The bow, where the gunner is screened
from view. When the ducks alight
among the decoys, the other man at the
oar rows silently and slowly within
sange, and then the gunner fires. The
"siuk- boat" is a coffil-shaped craft that
sinks to the level of the water. The
outriggcrs are covered with canvass in
order to prevent filling. From one hun e
bred to three hundred decoys are placed
around the boat. Then the gunner
stretches himself out at full length on
his back, and awaits developments. He
has signals for his companions to come
and gather the game.
The trouble is, the Susquehanna ducks
know too much. True they are deceived
BY decoys, but that is because they want
to be sociabe. Some ducks can spy a
gun quarter of a mile away. The wild
celery must sharpen their wits. The
next time you go duck-shooting, take a
gun that carries shot and kills half mile
of. Then you will bring home some
ducks for yourself, aud pair or two for
friends. Once A Feek.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Bring your hyacinths from the cellar
when you wish them to bloom.
Systematic pruning is essential to the
production of perfect currants.
Throw small grains into coarse litter
and let the fowls scratch it out.
Industry and egg production are in
separable with hens at this season.
See that no water strands about the
grape vines or on the strawberry beds.
Many growers say that yearliug
grape vine is the best, as rule, for
setting.
One pound of leau meat to twenty
hens given three times a week will be
beneficial.
Do not dig the celery when it is
frosted, but wait until it has thawed out
and is dry.
Entomology, geology, botany and
chemistry are some of the stu lies OF the
horticulturist.
Extreme thirst, greenish discharges
and a dropping appearance indicates
chicken cholera.
Many neglected corner would sup
