Management of a Boar.

Much the most common way is to let the boar run with the sows indiscrimi- nately during the breeding season, but though better) to have him shut in pen or lot that is in sight of or alongside the inclosure where the sows are kept. So long as he is where the sows can be seen or come near, especially when any of them are in heat, he is constantly in a wearing, tearing fever of excitement, on his feet and using his energies and ingenuity to break out. At such times it requires strong pen to keep him in place, and he should from the first be accustomed to one that there is no proba- bility of his breaking down, for if he once discovers that by perseverance he can get away he is thenceforth doubly trou- blesome, and in some instances keeping him in place is almost an impossibility,
 He should have a comfortable lot, large enough to permit plenty of exer- else and some opportunity to root, a well sheltered, dry, sunny sleeping place and Nbe given two or three times daily as much wholesome feed as he will clear up, and it should largely be something besides corn. Oats or rye, ground, with some wheat bran made into a slop, help along with some corn to make a feed that is healthful and a much better bal anced ration in every way than is possi- ble in any single article. Of course he Is not to be deprived of as much fresh water as he wants, and I would season his slops with as liberal proportions of salt as use in my own food, notwith- standing the belief held by so many men that "salt is pizen to hog"
 If a pan of wood ashes is thrown to him two or three times week, he will pick out and eat the bits of charcoal in them with as much relish as the boy does raisins from Christmas cake, and as a mild corrective drugs and "condi- tion powders" are not to be compared to 1t. If his tusks become long or he shows a disposition to make trouble with them which he may do with deadly effect at the most unlocked for moment-they can quite readily be wrenched off by get ting firm grip on them with pair of blacksmith's pinchers or cut off with a fine saw.
 It is better way to turn a sow for service in with the boar than to take him among the other hogs. She should then be removed from his sight and hearing. AS rule would prefer to use boar not much less than year old.
 In most of the hog raising states it is scarcely prudent, owning to dangers of sudden cold and storms, to have pigs farrowed until the warm days toward the middle of April, so thaS about the middle of December-not earlier-is a favorable time for the breeding.
 Sowsthat are being bred for the first time can as well be coupled little later than old ones, because the old sow will usually carry her pigs from 112 to 115 days, while gilt may farrow any time between 100 and no days after service. It is common belief among many breed CTS that service of a SOW at the beginning of heat will result in large proportion of female pigs, and that if coupling is not done until the last hours of it more of the pigs will be males, but have never been able to satisfy myself of its correct ness.-Exchange.

The sheep and hog show takes place between Sept. 26 and Oct. IA. There will be 1,847 hogs entered for premium, which is a larger number than any European fair could gather. Of sheep there will be .l,755. Canada sends 470 sheep and 90 hogs. One would hardly suppose there were so many breeds of sheep in this country till he glanced over the list of those to be exhibited. There are American Cotswolds, Leicesters. Lin coins, Southdowns, Shropshires, Oxfords, Hampshires, Dorset Horned, Cheviot, De laine Merinos. and French Merinos, and just plain merinos without any prefix. These latter are divided into classes A and B. Class A includes merinos that have been bred for fleece alone; Class B those bred for both fleece and mutton.

To Make a Cup of Good Tea.

of tea drinkers that every woman ought
to know how 10 brew a cup of tea that
will be fresh and aromatic. Simple as
it would seem, few understand the art
and it is by no means unusual 10 have
a cup, of bitter, puckery, almost deadly
stuff offered one in the name of tea.
Tea must not boil il must not even
be allowed to remain on the stove te
steep" A kettle of fresh boiling
water must be prepared, the teapot
heated, the boiling water put into the
pot and the tea leaves put in on top OF
the water and allowed to stand from
five to seven minutes, when the tea will
be ready for use and must be poured
into the cup or another pot to save
bitterness. Simple hot water will not
answer for teamaking; the water must
be boiling. Neither will water that has
been boiling on the stove for a hall
hour answer; the water must be freshly
boiled

In recent issue of Meehan's Monthly
we are told that among the chief OF
Wissahickon's charms is the singular
beauty of the sterilization of the gneiss
rock. In many cases large blocks have
fallen out, so as to give the rocks a cave
like appearance. This only occurs where
there is a peculiar twisting in the for
nation. OF course caves to any great
extent only exist in limestone regions
The action of strong acid wears away
the limestone, and in this way miles OF
subteFranean passage ways are formed
by the dissolving Of rocks.
However, as in the case illustrated
hollows or caves of considerable size
occur on the WiSsahicl1on. The one
illustrated is of considerable depth and
is known as the Hermits cave 1t is
said that a famous astronomer of very
eccentric habits many years ago made
his home there. The figure standing al
