COaI-Chewtng Pigs.

Pigs like to chew GOAL, and they do
it from a natural instinct Among
this causes Of indigestion, diarrhea,
and other functional disturbances of
the digestive organs is state of
abnormal acidity, To satiate con-
seQuent craving for an anti-acid, says
the Massachusetts Ploughman, we
often find horses licking the earth or
lime washed walls when opportunity
occurs, and probably for the same
reason pigs will evince desire for
crumbling coal or coal cinders. In
coal hydrogen is the predominating
element and it is also probable that
when pigs are fed for any length of
time on food which is deficient in nj
trogen, instinct prompts the animal
to evince a desire for bituminous
coal. Coal also contains sulphur,
which, to some extent, serves a bene-
fetal purpose in the animal economy.
A desire to consume indigestible ma
terial is not infrequeDtly met with
in all our domestic animals, but this
evidence of a depraved appetite is
due to some functional arrangement
or disturbance of the digestive or
ganS.

FARMING is largely experimental,

brings profitable results we know that
it is good practice.

he had sold it he would only have re-

hogs, even at good price, to feed the

IT will never injure land to have it
bear two crops year, if two applica-

applied. There is no limit to the
pOssibi, ity of tine land, provided all
the conditions are favorable. 1t will
always pay to grow two crops instead
of one, but not unless the farmer
thoroughly understands how to do it.

Anchors.

Some ascribe the invention OF an
chors to the Tyrrhenians; others to
Midas, the son of Gordius. The most
ancient are said to have been of
stone, and sometimes of wood, to
which great quantity of lead was
usually fixed. In some places bas-
kets full of stones, and sacks filed
with sand, were employed for the
same use. All these were let down
by cords into the sea, and by their
weight stayed the course of the ship.
Afterward, anchors were made of
iron, at first with only one huke, but
in short time a second was added
by Eupalamus, or Auacharis, the
Scythian philosopher.

Steer Feeding.

An English beef breeder recently
experimental little to find out at
Just what year a steer would show
the greatest gain. He took the calf
weaned at twelve days old, fed
SKINNED milk and linseed meal, and
later on chopped roots, bran and hay
with cut grass in summer. Every
three months he was weighed, and it
was found that when years old he
gave a profit, but after that loss.
This is the experience in this country
also. Steers are most protltably fed
up to IS and ~ months, but must be
fed literally from tine start, with no
check at any moment from calfhood.
Butchers insist that any break in the
growth destroys the calf bloom
which they prize so much, and IL
never can be regained.
