TO KEEP HOGS HEALTHY.


Cleanly surroundings, pure, clean,
good food of the proper kinds for
building the growing frame work
whilst growing or for fattening when
finishing off is as essential to the health
of hogs as to any other animal, says
Colman's Rural World, and to reverse
these is to induce frailty, weakness,
loss of appetite, and, sooner or later,
disease. 1t may be in individual cases
only, or it may attack and decimate
the whole herd and bring ruin and dis
aster to the owner. Filthy pens, filth
fed with food, filthy, rotten, and de-
cayed food, sour swill, the dead car
casses of diseased animals, the drop
pings of diseased animals, etc, etc.
and like line of feeding and keeping
are all conducive to unthrift and dis
ease, just as surely as that dry wood
will burn when heaped upon big fire,
and we do well to recognize the fact
and act upon it. Hogs as raised and
fed for market nowadays are the
merest kind of hothouse plants any
how. They are crowded, and crammed,
and made gluttonous from their earliest
feeding days and unless great care is
taken very easily become feverish, ex-
cited, overheated, and fit receptacles
for floating microbes or other animal
cul@ in the air, the grass, or on their
food.

POTATO RAISING MADE EASY.

In deciding upon specially, loca-
tion must be considered, thinks G. L.
Chapman, of New York. The largest
part of the potato crop must be gro en
within few miles of shipping sta
tion, as the bulk makes too much cost
for hauling long distances. Thirty
bushels at twenty cents per bushel,
where but one load can be drawn per
day, little more than pays the cost of
hauling. Do not be handicapped
from the start in planting ground un-
suited, or lily prepared.
Potatoes require mellow soil; depth
and looseness are more necessary than
richness. The poor hemlock, yellow
land OF Tioga County, New York,
yields the finest potatoes brought 10

horse manure spread on clover sod q
year previous to planting is the best
preparation. The land is plowed in
the fall, twice dragged in the spring,
with a spring tooth harrow. The
drills are marked out three feet apart
with two-horse reversible plow, let
ting the plow run as deep as when the
land was first plowed, turning all fur
rows down hill, which forms bank
on the lower side. Where land is
steep the soil cannot be worked up to
the hill from the lower side. The
other way is marked with a narrow
toothed marker, which drags some
fine earth back into the furrow, which
makes perfect seed bed.
The cut seed is dropped and stepped
on by boys. With the same plow and
one horse walking in the trench, the
seed is covered, throwing the soil the
same way as before, not back. The
tubers are covered six to eight inches
deep and the ground is two-thirds re-
plowed. The potatoes will be long
time in coming up, will escape the
first crop of bugs, will withstand
drouth, can be narrowed several times,
and, best of all, will be strong, rank
growers, soon shading the ground
with their foliage. I have never yet
found q new tuber below the piece
planted, nor above that point on the
stalk which first saw the light, no
matter how much soil was piled around
it afterwards. Therefore it is best to
plan so as to have long bearing stem,
with tubers attached far enough froin
each other to expand fully, instead of
hat full of the size of hens eggs at
tached to two inches of stalk.
From the time the potatoes are plant
ed until they break through the
ground, they are dragged several times

at very small expense, as compared
with cost of cultivating, and is infinite
ly better in the quality of work done.
BY this process no hoe ever goes into
the field, nor any sunburned potatoes
come out. The root growth is enor-
nous; some of the roots are twenty
inches long before any tubers have set.
The after cultivation is very shallow
to keep the ground from crusting over
after rains, and to keep the soil fine
and mellow, so as to serve MS a mulch
in times of drouth.
Select some large yielding, medium
late, disease resisting, long white po-
tato, and the battle is half won. Round
potatoes are not favorites in the mar
ket, and peal to waste. Do not let
your seed sprout. In trial row I cut
the seed early last season, placed it in
crates and covered it with land plaster,
which kept it cool; when planted the
buds were swollen full, butnot enough
to break off. Thus treated, it gave
the largest yield of any of my trial
rows. My rule is to seed according to
the quality of the land. The poorer
the land the farther apart the hills,
and the less seed. American Agricul-
turist.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
THE HAY QUILT.

About the latest addition in bed
covering is the hay quilt. 1t isr le
of fiannelette. cretonne or wool and
an armful or two of hay. The goods
are sewed strongly across the top and
bottom and down one side, and quilt
ed across from side to side at dis
tances of about fourteen inches. The
hay is put in lightly and the remain
ing side sewed down. When the hay
becomes limp hang the quilt before
the fire, and it soon becomes crisp
again. The warmth of these quilts
cannot be realized except by those
who have tried them. In making
these quilts they should be made quite
rs wide as the beds they are intended
to cover. They are equal in warmth
to two or three blankets.
Such quilts are much used by the
peasantry in the Swiss mountains, who
appreciate the warmth they afford. -

One of Jay Gould's Virtues.

jay Gould had his faults, but he
never forgot friend. He was once,
while a young man, taken sick in New
Jersey town, and an old lady there
nursed him through the illness. He
never forgot it, alway inquiring after
his benefactress, and on every posi-
BILE occasion reminded her substan-
TALLY of her kindness. One time she
made up her mind to visit daughter
in distant place in the West, and set out
to save the money for the trip. A
few days before the day set she was
surprised to get an envelope contain
ing passes all the way there and back.
She never found out how Mr.. Gould

The Area of Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, which used to be little
town squeezed down into the narrow
triangle of the junction of the Alle-
ghany and Monongahela, has grown
into city of unusually large area in
proportion to its population. The city
engineers were cutting streets through
dense woodlands more than twenty
years ago, and farms, miles from the
city hall, were held at speculative
prices. The city line is now more
than six miles from the Ohio eastward,
and it's length between the Allegheny
and Monorgahela is between four and
i've miles. Chicago Herald.

PoTrING COMPOST FOR PLANTS.

The soil used for potting is made of
one part of clean leaf mold or decayed
sods or rich garden soil free from
weed seeds, one part of clean sand
from stream, and one part of thor
oughly-decayed COW manure. For
bright towering plants some powdered
charcoal is often added, this giving
great brilliance to the bloom. A good
liquid manure for house plants is
made by dissolving one pound of nj
trate of soda, two pounds of good SUI
perphosphate of lime, and two pounds
of fresh wood ashes in barrel of rain
water. New York Times.

SPRING REPAIRS.

1t pays to look the farm over before
the hurry of spring work comes on,
and find out what ought to be done to
keep everything about it in good con-
dition. If time is taken by the fore
lock in this matter, great deal of the
hurry and worry of spring work, as
usually experienced on the farm, can
be avoided, and the sundry jobs neces-
sary to keeping things about the place
in good shape can be done more salts
factorily, because more leisurely. -

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.

in, Used q Penknife on HIa Throat.
RATHDRUM. Idaho. Oct. 22.-G. w.
BrockhageD. democratic nominee for
sheriff of Kootensi county. made 8
desperate attempt to commit suicide
this morning. He came down from
Hope last night, being on an election
eering tour. After his arrival il tow
he went up TO the jail. ostensibly TO
stop over night with Sheriff Costello,
as he had been in the habit of doing
whenever he came to town, being Cos.
tello's deputy at Hope. He seemed to
be in his usual spirits.
About In the morning the sheriff
was awakened by cries from upstairs,
when he ran up and found Brock hagen
lying on the floor in tie hall with the
blood gushing from his throat. The
would-be suicide had Gu. several deep
gashes In his throat and neck, severing
the windpipe almost entirely aud cut
ting some Of the smaller arteries of the
neck. bnt had missed the jucular vein.
He used small penknife with q very
dull blade. Had 1t been sharp the at.
tempt would undoubtedly have proved
fatal.
The cause is attributed by his frie DIS
to ex oessive drinking during the cam
paign which brought on an attack of
delirium tremens. His recovery is
doubtful. His wife and two children
are expected from Hops on the first
train.
