be fed to stock, but it would be safer
in feeding it to shake out the worms as
much as possible and destroy them by
burning with the chaff and webbed
hay. There is probably no risk in feed
ing the worms to stock, but the webbed
hay Is pretty sure to be rejected by
them, and if the worms escape in man
gers they have an opportunity to trans
form and produce moths later in the
season. Clear out old hay mows. The
bottom Of stacks hould be examined.
The adult is a purple and golden moth
and deposits its eggs on the clover hay.
They hatch into small brown worms,
which become full grown in q few
weeks. They then spin silken cocoons,
yithin which they change to the pupa
state, and soon after emerge. as adult
moths. 4. s 1

A Boys Essay ON .sPants.''

: A boy in a Wichita, Kansas, school
has been suspended for reading this
essay on pants Pants are made
for men and not men for pants. Women
are made for men and not for pants.
When a man pants for woman, or
woman pants for man, they are a
pair Of pants. Such pants don't last
long. Pants are like molasses, thin in
hot weather and thicker in cold. The
man in the moon changes his pants
during the eclipse. Men are often mis-
taken in pants. Such errors produce
breeches Of promise. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants
is singular or plural Seems to us when
men wear pants they are plural and
when they don't it is singular. Men
get on tear and tear, their pants and
it's all right; but when pants get on a
tear 4. s all wrong"

Buttermilk for Pigs.

4 swine breeder of large experience
states that buttermilk is the best pos
sible appetizer for pigs. He says that
pigs fed it mixed with ground feed will
always prosper. That such pigs are at
tentive at ration time and delight their
owner If he is a liberal feeder by their
ability to consume all the food Of
Tered. This man disapproyed of assem-
bling large numbers of pigs together,
as in his opinion they do not thrive SO
well. His method is to divide them
into small lots, none OF them contain
ing more than a dozen, each lot re-
'ceiving equal care and attention in the
things needfm for their improvement.
By such means he claims that fine pigs
must result, and his great reputation
as a breeder rested entirely On the
observation of the simple requirements
we have outlined.

How to Feed Stock.

Feed regularly, have certain and set
times and let nothing keep you from
feeding at those times. Regularity and
punctuality are the keys to success in
business, and this is also true of the
farmer and pig feeder. Feed literally ;
but this docs not mean to feed waste
fully. There are millions of dollars
lost annually in the. United States by
wasteful feeding. When fattening pigs
make them eat all they will. You can
not make them eat more by keeping
corn laying before them all the time,
and they will not do as we'll as when
fed only what the will eat up clean.
What is usually wasted, if saved.

Another Southern Improvement.

Anotner oOuCnern Improvement.
The contract for the Colbert Shoals
lock, in the Tennessee River, has been
awarded to Prof. NJ. B. Henry, of Flor
ence, Ala, on his bid of $345, $40. The
canal, when completed, will cost $3,-
$1,000, and the money for the work is
all available. The complete scheme calls
for camel eight miles long, one hun
dred and fifty feet wide and seven feet
deep at the lowest water. There will
be but one lock on the canal and the
contract awarded was for that lock. The
work on the lock will begin within two
weeks, and the contract calls for its COM
pletion within two and a,half years. The
canal will begin twenty-five miles below
Florence, and the lock will be at the
lower end thirty miles below that city.
This canal will enable the Tennessee
River to be navigated from its mouth to
Chattanooga at oil seasons of the year
and in all stages Of water. Im connection
with the great Muscle Shoals Canal,
seven miles above Florence, aud which
was completed and opened for navigation
two years ago, this is one of the most
important public work in the South.
