EARN AND GARDEN NOTES.

Patience is needed in teaching the
calf to drink.
A good blooded colt may be made
no better than scrub by being half
starved.
After the growth is made the meat
hog or the lard hog is u matter OF
feeding.
It is calculated that with every
120O-pound steer there are $40 pounds
OF waste.
Ia raising strawberries keep the
ground moist and mellow by frequent
cultivation.
The food of pigs must, to produce
good results, be largely nitrogenous
OF muscle forming.
Give the chickens plenty of mother,
that is, do not give the care OF too many
chickens TO one hen.
Every farmer should remember that
pigs cannot digest properly sour milk
or sour feed OF any kind.
Excitable horses can generally be
quieted by smoothing the head and
rubbing down over the eyes.
Much Of the distemper which pre-
walls in spring months might be pre-
vented by little iuGicious care.
Usually tho hog with coarse,
straight hair will not fatten near so
rapidly as the one with fine, soft hair.
The early habits of The colt will
cling to it through life, hence the i'm
portance of teaching it from the be-
ginning to travel at brisk walk.

rArrExIxG PIGS or WHEAT.

Where maze can be grown to per-
lection it will probably continue to be
one OF the chief fuod materials for
fatlening swine, but in colder climates
other foods must be grown for this
purpose. H. L. French, OF the Ore
gon Station, has continued the experi-
ments of feeding wheat to pigs, and
the results are especially interesting
to farmers, who find the market price
OF wheat about the same rs that of
corn. In the rate of grain produced,
the results compare favorAbly with
those obtained from feeding corn.
Chopped wheat proved to be better
than chopped oats, and there was 49,
pounds OF gain for each bushel of
wheat consumed. The quality Of the
meat was all that could lie desired in
fat pork. There was II good thickness
Of fat, and, at the same time good
distribution Of lean meat. The pigs
were eleven months old when slaugh-
tered. The pigs We're not in pasture
at any time, but were in pens connect
ed with small yards. They were fed
twice each day, at eight in the morn
ing, and ut five in the evening. Each
ration was weighed out, and allowed
to soak until the time for the next
feed. A handful of salt was added to
each feeding, and charcoal was given
to them twice week. The breed was

The Blade Is Always in the Right Posi-

A cutler has recently brought out
razor-stropping device to be used in
connection with safety razors, as hero
shown. 1t consists of a nickled
frame, with round wooden part
fastened rigidly to the center of two
side arms pivoted at the top. These
move back and forth, reversing the
blade every time the direction of the
machine is changed. At the end of
the arms is spring metal receiver

A writer in the Lady's Journal, in
commenting on the story of the doc
tors page introducing a patient as
Clones" instead of "Mr. Jones, upon
the ground that he did not know he
was married, contends that the boy
was not to blame SO much as our own
lingual deficiency in the matter. Men
ought to have prefix, she says, which
should indicate at once whether they
are married or single. 1t would be
more convenient, doubtless, for the
feminine world; but somo married
men, writes James Payn, would not
like this plan at ALL Th only chance
they have of being received with civ
ility by the other sex is this doubt of
their eligibility for matrimony. More
over, though it be true the ladies have
their "Mrs." and "Miss" to denota
their connubial or celibate condition,
there is nothing to indicate it in their
epistolory communications; they per-
sist in withholding this information
from their correspondents, who conse.
quently never know how to address
them. Editors, OF course, are con
stantly placed in this embarrassing
position. 1t is safer to write "Mrs. " !;
most women, unless they are advo-
Gates of female rights, prefer it to be
supposed that some male has fallen q
victim to their bow and spear.

IMPROVED PEACH ORCHARDS.

be of use.

TIE PELL-ch1 or THE BUTTER GIoBULE.
The claim made in communication
from DIR. Hopkins, OF Vermont, that
he was opposed to the alleged existence
of any pellicle on the butter elobules
as long ago rs 1860, is cheerfully
recognized. This opposition has long
been common among physicians and
Psychologists, who know OF milk as q
simple emulsion, while those who
have favored it haze been persons who
based belief on q very common mis-
take made by inexperienced micro
scopists, who ignored the effects of the
reiraction OF light from glistening OBJ
iectS, thus viewed, and in this way
imagined the supposed pellicle. DIR.
Hosliins Chains that when he made the
discovery there was no such thing in
1850, wnen he published the fact. But
hard work has been done since then to
change the prevalent popular belief to
the coutrary.-New York Times.

Sugar beets are worth more to feed
to COWS for milk and butter than the
prices which the sugar-beet factories
offer for them for making sugar. SO
it is not necessary that farmer

Donahoc's Magazine opens the new
year brilliantly. Its January number
is rare combination of art and heart.
Picturesque and popular, there yet
runs through it an undertone of sym
pathy for the unfortunate, and of per-
sistent plea for more practical Christ
ianity that is suggestive and inspiring.
Without radicalisn or demagogery, it
still strikes right and left at hypocrisy,
cant, and injustice in the name of law
Donahoe's is doing as much to make
the masses think as any force in
American life at the present time.
For the light hearted, there are in
the January number four short stories,
a score of poems, and etchings and
pictures a-plenty. For the thoughtful,
there are such articles as . What's to
be done"? What Powers Should
Cities Have and Economic
Wrongs as Woman Sees Them.'
On the opening page of the magazine
is New Years poem, " The Cry Of
the Hungry" by John Ryan. that sug-
gests the splendid fire of Whittier in
anti slavery days.

Circuit Court.

This court has been in session here
since Tuesday evening, Judges w. F.
Blackman and r. S. Perry presiding.
On Thursday evening three decisions
were handed down, among them the
opinion of the court in the famous St.
j Landry police jury case, the Judgment Of
the District Court being affirmed. Thus
for the third time has the governor been
rebukcd for his outrageous and uncall-
ed for interference in our local affairs =
his summary removal of Messrs. Duprc
and Gul,y-tvice by juries in the Dis
trict Court and now by the judges of tie
Court of Appeals.
The decision is an able and lengthy
one. We will endeaver to give it to our
readers next week. We have room to-
day for only the following extracts:
In our opinion Police Juryman is
not State officer.
If our position be correct hat a Po-
lice Juror is a ward officer and was such
when the Constitution Of 1879 was
adopted, it necessarily follows that his
removal cannot be made by the Gov
ernor and only by judgment of the
District Court, as provided iu Art. POI
of that instrument.

The Situation in Rice.

The best authorities early in Tie year
were convinced that the crop would not
be more than 100000 bags, or half the
crop of the receding year. Every evil
dence as it has developed has borne out
the correctness of this estimate.
The total receipts of rice at New Or
leans to date amount to just onehalf
the arrivals up to this time last year.
The reported stock in the country is be-
lieved to be even smaller than half of
last years total at this time, while the
local stock in first hands is uuquestion-
ably light compared with what it was a
year ago. The statistical position,
therefore, points to a very moderate
supply OF rice for the remaining seven
months of the season.
SO convinced are the principal hold
ers of rice of this fact that they are not
willing to part with their property at
current prices, and confidently look for
an advance in the near future. At cur
rent prices, they feel eb"viuced that
there is a margin for a considerable ad-
vance before the importing limits Of
