There can be little doubt, thinks tho
Boston Cultivator, that the close i'm.
spection of American pork which has
broken down foreign prcjudices
against it is largely responsible for
higher prices Of this staple. The
growing of hogs is a very important
industry. Hogs eat much that would
otherwise go TO waste, and they make
a greater amount of valuable meat for
the nutrimont they consume than any
other farm animal. With good
market assured abroad, and it will be

our product, the keeping and breed.
ing of hogs is an industry that has less
of risk in it than most that the farmer
undertakes. Skill in breeding and
feeding hogs always pays.

The Nav of Paris.

There is no city IN the world that
keeps such accurate records Of the
entry Of food and fuel supplies within
its borders as Paris. This is due to
the fact that a high import duty is
levied OH almost every article of do
nestic use which is brought to this
city. During 1891 the total amount
of coal consumed in Paris was $780,
900 gross tons, of which l,5l2, 900
gross tons were brought to the city by
river and canal; l.767 900 gross tons
were of French origin, 647, 200 gross
tons came from Belgium, 4l8, 500
from England, and 1879, 900 from Ger
many. The small amount of charcoal
used as fuel In Paris will bring the
total consumption Of fuel to three and
one-half million gross tons. The

old account of voyage made IN the

correspondent says, is soon to be pub
lished. M. Letifur, who edits 1t, con-
tributes a preface, in which he says
that in the 18Th century these birds
wore used in Syria aud in Egypt for
the rapid transmission Of news. The
Calphs made the pigeon post regu-
lar institution in the Nile delta.
Ptolemetes had department at Cairo
for the registration of the genealogies
of pigeons. Hour Eddin, in 1869,
made pigeon-post code, and ordained
that the central Office was to be in the
citadel Of Cairo. Tall towers and
pigcon-houses were built along the
route of his whole empires and to its
utmost cxiremities. The towers were
to serve to enable the pigeons to
reconnoitre from cages the neighbor-
ing country and the pigeon-houses for
breeding. Penalties were imposed
for killing pigeon and prices were
set on the heads of birds of prey
likely to molest them. There were
six pigeon-posts between Cairo and
Damascus and ten between the latter
city and Behnessa. .-rLondon News
