A SOW in perfect health will never
eat her pigs. Constipation or indiges-
ton is the direct cause. being caused
by improper feeding. No harm will
be done the swine i'll giving them the
run of the feed lot with the other
stock, horses and cattle. Give them a
corn ration with an occasional feed of
bran and ship stuff If it is where
they can get it, they will occasionally
chew on fodder and corn-stalks. Three
or four weeks run in the clover field
before narrowing will bring them
through all right. 1t is not unusual
for SOW to eat a pig that has been
crushed or born dead, aud we are not
alarmed to see them do it, but prefer

sows have the run of pasture or wood
lands while in farrow, they will sell

farmer who is compelled to keep his
sows in a dry lot, must make en- eff
fort to bring about the same coudi-
tions that the SOW has while OF pas
ture; must put before her food that
will produce the same results.
The serious objection to the small
or dry lot rests in the inability to Sc
cure an abundance of exercise, which
is prime factor in the production of
healthy embryo. With dry lot and
sufficient corn to keep the SOW con

cellar and kitchen refuse or walts,
such as potatoes, apples, pumpkins,

SOW would destroy her pigs, especially

BALKY HORSES.

When horse acquires the habit Of
ng baiky, at that moment it is for
general purposes reduced one-half in
money value. There is no habit more
disagreeable or vicious except that OF
the runaway or the kicker. The worst
feature of it is that the driver is, nine
times in ten, the cause of balkiness in
horses. Too freqaeEtly it is caused
by Overlooking o. working tn,n ant i
weak and weariel, and as tasy fad
relief in resting they resort 10 it OF
tener than the driver desires. The
whip is applied, AMI if the animal is
of nervous disposition it resents it,
or starts with jump. If the load
does not move promptly, the horse
flies back and twists about. Another
trouble is working horses with sore
shoulders. This is observed after a
few hours or nights rest. The mus
cles are sore and inhamed The pain
causes them to finch, and unless the
driver is very considerate, trouble lie
liable to ensue. This is more espe-
cially observed with colts or young
horses. Hence, be on guard yourself,
also impose great caution on the
driver, for too frequently a careless
driver will reduce the market value of
a horse fifty dollars in an hour. -

Wherever grain is largely grown,
stock of any kind need not suffer from
cold or wet in winter. We have often
seen farmers who had more stock than
they could stable in the barr, make
an improvised shelter, building be-
fore threshing time a platform set on
posts firmly placed in the ground, and
then making stack ON each eide of
this except one, coming to a point
over the platform. Cows and horses
will winter under such shelter as
comfortably as on basement barn. 1t
is well to have the enclosure built up
on the inside so as to keep stock from
eating their way through the straw
before warm weather comes. Under
such shelter the droppings of ami
mails will not freeze, and the constant
addition of straw enables the liquid
and solid excrement to be saved with
ont exposure to the elements-Boston

There is plenty of leniency toward
the butterine makers to not interfere
with their nefariOus business, hut
the real dairymen are watched with
eagle eye TO prevent the sale Of
milk below certain Standard The
Orange County Farmer says: Under
the above caption Mr.. George Abb 1T
has issued a little pamphlet that
t.eats of the dangers to honest dairy
men Of the laws of most States, max
ing it penal offense to sell milk be-
low certain per cent. of milk solids.
He shows conclusively that the milk
OF cows may even in good health 20
below twelve PER cent of solids. Nor
does he hpd this low per cent. ofsolids
due to starvation rat.ons, nor does
he find the milk unhealthy.
He calls attention to the fact that
milk in the months after calving is
poorer in solids than in the months
before going dry, and that new milk
is preferred though containing less
of solids. He particularly emphasizes
the fact that in all other applica-
tions Of the law to penal offenses the
proof Of crime must be made before
conviction, while in the case of a
daryman he is singled out, and re-
qulred to prove his innocence. He
says:
"The imposition of fine and i'm
prisonment because Of an ignorance
OF facts, not an ignorance of the law,
would be hardship under any cir
cumstances, but in the case of milk
1t is doubly so, because being of a
perishable nature, and there existing
a necessity for serving it while fresh,
it is practically impossible TO secure
an analysis in advance of SALE"

CHEAP IMPERIsHABLE FFNcE POSTS.
In the year 1868, writes an expert
ngriculturist, built n square picket
fence in front of the lawn on my
fruit farm near Morris, ILL.,, using dry,
small sized, round arbor vitae white
eedarl posts, treating them as follows /:
The bark was stripped off and the
rough places smoothed off with n draw
ing knife. They we're then set on the
lower ends in a kettle of boiling coal
tar, and with an old broom we're
thoroughly coated with it for two and
ahalf feet from the bottom, taken out
and at once rolled in dry, clean sand
until no more would adhere. In few
days they were set in the usual manner,
about two feet and three inches deep,
trampling tho earth we'll about them.
They were afterward painted with two
coats, letting the paint lap on to the
tarred surface of the ground. On
visiting this farm a few week since for
the purpose Of making improvements
and repairs, L examined this fence and
ioundall the posts as sound and firm
in the ground as when set The cost
of preparation did not exceed five

advertised No-roBac's merit.
He slid "No-ToBac Is not sold on the
strength OF the thousands and tens of thou
sands OF testimonial statements. but under
an absolute guarantee to cure or money re-
funded" That made a long story about
merit very short, as il absolutely protects
tho user from physical injury or financial
loss. 'Why," said he, mo- o-Bac will
make 100 GOD cures this year, an the saw
ing will average $4,000 for every one cured,
or a gran total OF $4,000, 900 srvei from

To-Blc, is indeeI, a God-send TO the poor
man these hard times. According to the
testimonials however, the money saving is
the least consideration, tor almost every
one reports an improvement of the nervous
system, increase in weight, and a revival Of
physical and mental powers that is indeed
miraculous.

sTAGNANT WATER AT THE ROADSIDE.
Along many highways the depres-
sion at some points Is 50 great be-
tween the fence and the beaten path
of the roadway that water stands for
a greater portion Of the year. In
many cases it would be difficult
matter to drain off this stagnant
water, as the depressions were made
by the use of the common road scraper,
but in every case it should be done,
even if it becomes necessary to resort
to understanding. In most cases,
however, the object accomplished by
trench dug along the side Of the
road, leading to lower level, or
putting in sluice, thereby emptying
the water to the opposite side, where
often the natural lay of the land
quickly drains off the surplus water.
Allowing water to stand by the side of
roadbeds is not only unsightly, but
positively detrimental and injurious
to the road, as BY capillary attraction
the soil comprising the roadway is
continually soaked. The top soil
may be dry, but underneath is damp
and soggy, allowing heavy loads to
deeply rut the driveway. American

Charges that a Nurse Brutally

Coroner Kene, Of Brooklyn, was asked
this morning to investigate the death
of Riley Bailey. an inmate of the Kings

Bailey. who was a negro waiter, thir-
ty-seven years old. died on Monday
night His sister. Mrs. Sarah Porter,
OF So4 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, re-
ported the case this morning, and asked
for an investigation. She said she
believed that her brother had died from
beating he had received at the hands
of one Of the nurses.
Bailey was taken Ill with the grip
about five years ago, and the malady
developed into insanity. He remained in
her home for a year. and she then pu,
him into the Flatbush Asylum A wear
ago he was transferred to St. Johnland
She declares that he was not violently
insane; he was idotic and MELANCHOLY.
on Monday. she told Deputy Coroner
Deegan, she received a despatch saying
that Bailey was very Ill: that he was
weak and liable to die.
She started to go to the asylum early
Tuesday morning. On reaching the in.
had died late the night before. She
says she learned that her brother had
become unruly and one of the nurses
had struck him in the face. breaking
his nose and knocking him down.
When she questioned the Superintend-
ent, she said. she received no satisfaction
She was told that If she thought there
was anything wrong in the case that she
ought to ask the Coroner to investi-
gate 1t.
Deputy Coroner Deegan promised her
that the matter would be probed to the
bottom.
