WINTER CARE OF SWINE.

To do their best, or even fairly well,
swine must be shielded from the inclem-
encies of the weather, says Galen Wilson.
They should have, as near possible, sum
mer conditions in winter. This can be
easily and cheaply accomplished. The
pen should be floored, first packing earth
between and flush with the face of the
stills. The floor will then rest partly on
the stills and the earth. Cold air cannot
then get under the floor to chill it. Be-
meath where the animals sleep, floor,
earth and stills will be warm all winter.
The sides of the pen should be double
boarded, and the space between be filled
with sawdust or cut straw, packed close.
The under side of the roof should be
eeiled with boards or building paper.
The door should be in the end, if low
pen, and be in two parts, an upper and
lower. In all but extremely cold
weather the upper part OF the door can
be thrown open, or partly, to give nee
essary ventilation. Hang thermometer
inside, and keep it at about sixty de-
grees. This gives ''summer conditions"
so far as temperature is concerned.
About six quarts or peck of beets
and an ear of corn twice day will win
ter mature breeding sow as we'll as it
can be done. They need no 'sslops"
nor scarcely any drinking water. There
is suficiency in the beets. In the ab-
sence of beets, the feed should be made
up principally of wheat bran, mill feed,
very little corn, cut and steamed
clover and some refuse, or other vege-
tables OF any kind. A shovelful of coal
ashes, earth or rotton wood occasionally
is desirable. Salt should be placed be-
fore them occasionally in bulk, but not
in greesy dish-water or other Stops. Let
their drinking water always be pure and
not too cold. Pleasant days, when the
temperature is agreeable, they may be
allowed to run out.-NeD York Hoice.

Florida Sponges.

The varieties of sponges sold in
Florida are known as tie s'sheepswool, !"
ssyellow," s'grass, and ''velvet.'' The
first mentioned is the best quality found
on this continent, its texture being iiue,
strong and soft, and its general excel
lence equal, if not superior, to the
vaunted Mediterranean product. 1t sells
at from 81. so to So per pound, the first
sum being the price now paid for it at
Anclote. The s'yellow" sponge is fine,
but not SO soft, strong, durable, and
generally useful as the ''speepswool. =
| Its price varies from twenty to fifty cents
pound. The grass" sponge is irregu
| lar in form, hard in texture, and fine il
grain, but lacks durability. 1t has nc
standard value, and rarely brings ovel
| ten or fifteen cents d pound The ssvel
vet sponge is rather small and scarce
and the few specimens brought to mar

aud curious custom. There is hut

allowed to touch, not even to pull a
straw from the thatch. If anyone COM

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Horses should not be left out In the
chill rains which we will have from now
on. When colts are shivering IN the
omen air, with their backs bowed and
heads down, such negligence is costly,to
say nothing Of the cruelty.
Fowls at the moulting season undergo
great drain of the system to supply
the growth of new feathers. Deaths
from this cause are, apart from little
direct pecuniary loss, not looked upon a

. SHEEP NOMENCLATURE.

The following is from Stephens's Book
of the Farm: When newborn it is called
"lanb;" if male, in Scotland, "tup-
lamb. When castrated it is called a
"hogg- lamb;" if female, ''ewe.lamb."
in England the young sheep retains the
name Of lamb till it is eight months old.
In Scotland, after weaving and before
first clipping, a ''tub-lamb" is called a
s'tup-hogg.n In England lambs after
they are eight months old, till the first
shearng, 'sewe" and "weather-tegs, ac-
cording to sex. In Scotland ''ewe-
hogg" after the first clipping is called a
'.gimmer," a ''tup-hog," ''shearing
tup," and ''wether hog" a 'dlnmont. :"
The animal corresponding to the
name of ''gimmer" in Scotland is called
in England ''theave" until it bears the
first lamb, after which it is termed a
'sewe of four teeth;" the year after,
ssewe of six teeth, land after that ''full-
mouthed ewe." The ssdlnmont' in Scot
land answers in England to the title of
ssshear hog" until they are deprived of
the fleece, after which they are called
sstwo-shear wethers," and afterwards
uwethers." In Scotland the shearing
brings about another change of names /;
thus the .sgimmer,' if she is in lamb is
called s'ewe;" if barren ''barren-
gimmer;n and an 'eild-gimmer" if she
is not put to ''tup' or tram" A
ssshearing-tup" is changed to ''two-
shear tup;" a .sdinmont" becomes a
sswether." When three times shorn eve
is called a s'twinter- 'tup," a
sthree-shear tup;' a ''wether" under
goes no change of name, but still con-
| tinues to be called by that name. After
the fourth shearing,a ''ewe" is "three
winter ewe," or an tagged eve" "tup"
is known as an .'aged tup." When {
"ewe" fails to be with lamb SECOND
time, she is called a ''tlp-ewe" or ''bar-
reu-ewe;" when she ceases to give milk
ssyeld-ewe;" when removed from the
breeding flock, at whatever age, she j
called ssdraft;" when put aside und
for breeding "dratt-gimmer;;" AM
when drafted out of the fat or youn!
stock. lambs, dinmonts, or wethers arr
called sssheddings," ''tails," o.

APPLE PoMAcE AS FEED.

If used while fresh, cattle will eat
apple pomace and get considerable good
from it. But it turns quickly to alco-
holic and acid fermentation, and when
this occurs it has little, if any, value for
feeding. 1t is then not even good for
fertilizing the soil, as Its acidity kills
vegetation that it comes IN contact with.
When frozen and rotted the following
year it again becomes of some value as
a fertilizer.-Bostoa Culticotor.

TOPICS of INTEREST Relative
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
VALUE OF DAT HAY.

Hay of oats is only half as nutritious
as that of timothy grass. The green
fodder is about of the same relative
value. The relative money values are
fifteen cents per 100 pounds for the
green oats and fifty cents for the dry
hay, against twenty eight cents per 100
pounds for the green timothy and ninety
eight cents for the hay. The timothy is
also more digestible than the oats.-NeD

CONDITIONS THAT ARE DAN.
GEROUS.

Startling conclusions are suggested
by a contemplation Of the political
situation in some of the western states.
The election Of Nov. 8 did not settle
results in certain commonwealth.
The result in California, turned on San
Francisco county. That county's vote
made the state democratic. With it
uncounted the state would Ike republi-
can. The returning board is republi-
can, and for some reason refused to
canvass or return the vote of the
county. This refusal was maintained
until the courts compelled the canvass
to he made. Thereupon the hoard
proceeded To canvass but one precinct
a day. This was done manifestlv for
the purpose of delaying the canvass
indefinitely.
In North Dakota "A recount of Il
county was demanded and secured by
the republicans in the hope that the
result in the state would he changed.
But the recount failed To reverse the
conditions.
A contention exists in Oregon over
a portion of the result and the courts
have been invoked to settle the
matter.
Nebraska, Kansas and Montana, Ia
mention no other states, have trouble
over the result.
The rest of the United States takes
little thought of these disturbed con
ditions because no general questions are
involved. But suppose the presidency
turned upon the count in California.
Oregon, North Dakota or Montana.
Instead of disregarding these sGuab-
bles that are now going on over state
offices the entire country would be at
fever heat.

THE FRENCH THRONE.

Late reports from Paris indicate
that the members of the Bonapartis,
faction are as ready to avail them
selves of possible revolution in the
republic as are the royalist>. IL is
said that they have prepared "A mani

This document await, hut the sigma

There *, of course, no eminent

Now that there is an open schism be

With the enemies of the republic

likelihood of their success than were
