SALT THE STOCK,

The need for salt is greater at the
fall of the year than at any other.
The cattle and sheep are feeding on
pasture in which there is about ninety
per cent of water. In addition to
this they drink copiously. possibly
somewhat more than the quantity in
the grass they eat.
The water lost by copious perspira.
tion too, is greatly in excess of that at
any other time of the year. The urine
voided is in the same excess. Now,
these excretions, both from the skin
as well as from the kidneys. not to
mention the milk, contain a large
quantity of salt, which must be sup
piled in the food. Thus the sabaceous
matter exuded from the skin has
thirty-seven parts of salt in each 1000
parts of it; while the actual water
perspiration has seven parts in 1000,
and the urine has three per cent. The
milk has some salt in it, and thus al
together, at this season, when all these
excretions are in the most active con-
dltion and the COW is drinking q lar
ger quantity of water than is usual at
other times, the supply of salt must
be proportionate to the loss Of these
ways. Doubtless disease is used by
want of salt that is not supplied. and
farmers should take note of these IN
sects for their guidance. A COW needs
fully two ounces of salt daily, which
is nearly pound week. Southern

HINTS ABOUT BUILDING s1nos.

Professor F. Fl. King, of the Wis.
consin Experiment Station, gives some
hints about the building of silos that
are worth remembering by those who
may have occasion to construct one
OF these storage repositories, namely :
The walls must be solid and rigid, aud
in wooden silo the lumber used
must be of some kind that will not
readily decay, and which has little
tendency to warp. Neither Norway
or Florida pine. nor common hem
lock, oak, or Eastwood are suitable
for silo Innings. White pine is the
best available material and this should
be cut narrow, or not more than six
inches wide. Silos should be deep,
and not broad and shallow, because
the pressure needed for the preserva-
tion of the forage increases rapidly
with depth, but on account of the
great weight and pressure it is diff
cult to build sqr are siIo deeper than
twenty to thirty feet. When the silos
were first introduced they were rather
shallow, and the forage was pressed
by adding weights of plank, stone and
earth, but it was soon discovered that
with more depth the requisite press
ure could be secured without any con-
siderable additional weight. : New

FEED FOR PIGS.

Cows and hogs go we'll together,
writes A. Selle, of Wisconsin. Fol-
lowing after the cattle and con-
suming the skimmilk produces an ami
NAL we'll adapted for breeding pur-
poses. The tendency of corn-fed hogs
is toward fneness OF bone and weak
ness OF the muscular system. Milk
and clover countaract this bad effect.
BY using the proper foods two litters
a year can be had from each SOW.
Wean the pigs when six to eight weeks
old, and feed middlings or cornmeal
and skimmilk. Many farmers do not
think it is profitable to raise two lit.
ters year, but it the pigs are fed
milk in winter it is good practice. OF
course dry warm stable is necessary
to get best results.
While milk is the best single food
for hogs prefer to use it with other
feed. Why favorable results are OBJ
tained, l cannot say, unless it be that
ordinary hog feed is too concentrated,
and milk acting as diluent increases
its value. I have always fed my milk
after it has clabbered, although other
good feeders use it sweet. In summer
it will curdle in thirty eight to forty
hours. In winter add warm water or
place it near the stove. Claobered
milk if fed alone and too literally
forms Jumps. This may be prevented
by stirring thoroughly before feeding,
or pouring from one vessel to another.
The safest and most profitable method
is to mix the milk with an equal quan.
tity of middlings or cornmeal. This
will do away with the danger from
Jumps. If the pigs are not being
crowded for fattening, add some clover
hay.
Hogs to be raised profitably must
be ready for butchering at eight or
ten months. If the pigs have gooa
pasture after being wesned, and are
kept in good condition by giving
skimmilk and mill feed, weight Of

An aristocratic young lady OF
Magdoburg. Germany, had spent some
time at the country seat OF her uncle,
and young cavalier from Berlin had
been paying much attention to her.
Everybody thought it would be good
match for both, and affairs went on
swimmingly, until the day drew near
when the young lady was to return
home. The nearer the day came the
more disappointed were the young
miss and her mother at the failure OF
the young man to ask the all-import-
ant question. Finally, they left their
relatives house in great dismay, and
just before leaving the young lady re-
marked to her uncle that it probably
was az we'll for both, as her mother
had not much use for such "chicken-
hearted son-in-law." They left on a
train on the narrow gauge railroad,
connecting the valley with the nearest
town.
After they had gone the young man
questioned the uncle why the young
lady had gone away so angry and
hardly noticed him when bidding
good-by. The uncle, blunt ex-
soldier, repeated the remark made by
his niece when leaving to the young
man, who was touched to the quick by
the insinuation of cowardice contained
therein. He was very much in love
with the lady, and had abstained from
broaching the subject on account of
not considering it proper to propose
anywhere but at the young lady's
home, which he intended visiting be-
fore long.
This remark, however, aroused his
sense of honor, and, without saying
another word. he mounted his horse.
which happened to stand ready for an
outing, and galloped after the train,
which had left quarter of an hour
before. Owing to benign Providence
and the management of this country
railroad, he caught the train before it
had reached the next station, Kraow.
He spied the young lady at the window
of q first class compartment, and,
riding up to the train before it came
to full stop, almost shouted, hearth
lessly, "My dear Miss -, I ask fol-
your hand. Yes or no?"
In the station of Kraow, just as the
train arrived, "Yes" was joyfully
given by the young miss, and tearfully
approved by her mamma. New York

A MARVEL.
AND ASTONISHING
CURE OF AN EXTREME CASE
OF ST. vITUS' DANCE.

- w.
How Young Lady Regained the Use Of
Her Arms, Limbs and Speech
In Three Weeks.
From the Standard Union, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Too much hard study at school brought on

perience Of Miss Glendora Rivers, daughter
OF Mrs. Amelia Rivers. OF 90 Ry-
worse every month, until the young lady's
entire right side became paralyzed; but, now
that marvellous and permanent cure has
been wrought. 1t will be interesting to read
her own version OF the efficacy OF DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills.
"For more than year." said Miss Rivers.
"doctors attended me without effecting tho
slightest change in my condition. II any
thing, Igrew worse under their treatment,
until February of this year, when my condi-
ton became critical.
II had lost the complete use OF my arms
and limbs and speech. could only swallow

spoon, when they could get my mouth open.
I wanted to sleep all the time. The stupor
laid in was something like trance, and no
doubt would have died II they had not
walked me up at intervals.
"The first week in March my mother, who
Is a sick nurse, was advised by neighbor to
try DIR. Williams Pink Pills in my case. She
got some OF the pills-a box from Nelson's
drug store, at the corner Of Myrtle avenue
and Hall street Before l had taken one
half the contents of the box remarkable
change was noticed in my condition.
"Gradually I regained the use OF my
arms and limbs and speech, and by the time
the pills were gone was up and about the
house almost well. But my mother thought
it wise to get another box Of the pills, and
this she did, and here you see me stand be-
fore you with more strength and more am
bition than / ever had.
"Some of our near neighbors attribute my
regained body and health to some miracu-
lous or supernatural agency; but my mother
and most intimate friends know that the
cure was effected by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
"Three weeks from the day I swallowed
the first dose OF the pills was as we'll as you
see me to-day"

EFFECT OF IMPURE SALT on OUTER.


When good butter, packed in good
condition, and having no appearance
of white specks, is found afterward to
be speckled, the cause IS due to I'M

either in form of gypsum or chloride,
and when mixed with butter this in a
short time becomes decomposed, form.
ing lime soaps with the fat of the but
ter. These soaps are insoluble and
cannot be washed out of the butter by
any after treatment. The longer tie
butter is kept, the worse this defect
becomes, until in time the effect of
the salt is to produce bad flavor in
the butter, thus destroying its quality
as we'll as its appearance. Only the
very bestsof salt should be used in
butter or cheese making, for the same
defect will appear in cheese thus
salted. The cost of the salt is so small
that it is mistaken economy to spoil

CARE OF STUFFED FURNITURE.

allowed to touch stuffed furniture, no
matter how cheap the covering, for the
only result of it's use is irreparable in
jury. The dust which Sits through
the covering settles in the stuffing,
and the sole action of the whip is to
bring this dust to the surface in
ridges, which all future busting of the
outside fails to remove. Furniture
which has been treated in this way on
examination will be found to bear
dark marks corresponding to the
stroke of the whip and delicate celors.

All furniture should be protected
from the dust as much as possible.
When room is swept, oil the lighter
articles should be removed, and the
heavier ones covered closely. A Awhisk
broom and soft cloth should be then
employed to remove the particles in
the coverings. First good brushing
with the broom, then a thorough wip-

dampened if the fabric will stand it.
The woodwork is best cleaned with a

The dust which sifts through to the

would not remove but tithe of what

HYAC1NTHs.


The bulb catalogues that come to us
by every mail are gentle hints that
summer is passing rapidly away, and
we must prepars not only for another
springs flowers, but for the window
garden as we'll.
The Dutch bulbs are admirably
adapted for this work, as, with proper
care, flowers from them can be had al
most as soon as winters hand has re-
moved the more hardy forms from our
gardens. But to have the window
garden we must do our part right
early; we must get ready now. If you
want flowers from bulbs in your win
dow this winter, get them now, and
now don't mean this month, this week,
or this autumn. It means the mo-
ment you have finished reading this
article to sit down and write your or.
der for all you want, and send by first
mail.
The question of soil is one that is
sadly overrated; while it is true that
the hyacinth prefers sandy soil,
made very rich for some previous crop,
and situation where the roots are
always near the water, it is equally
true that very fine flowers can be pro-
duced on heavy soils that are not rich.
To produce a good bulb is very
different matter from towering one
already produced. When bulb has
perfected it's growth under favorable
circumstances. the development of its
flower is foregone conclusion. It
must and will flower under any con.
dition of soil or climate. Without
soil of any kind, simply in glasses of
water and in the heaviest clay, equally
good results have been attained.
The great cause of failure comes
from overestimating their hardness.
They are classed in the catalogues as
hardy, when in reality they are far
from it. 1t is true they will most
generally Withstand the rigors of our
winters, and flower fairly we'll, but for
good success frost should never reach
the bulbs, and in Holland, where our
bulbs are chiefly produced, it never
does touch them. There the beds,
many acres in extent, are mulched
with reeds cut from the bitches, which
are but few rods apart in that coun-
try,to the depth of four to six inches,
which thoroughly excludes all frost.
This protection is necessary from
the fact that much of the preparation
for the flowers the bulbs make during
the winter when seemingly at rest. If
the ground is frozen this work cannot
go on, the result being that when
spring opens the flower spikes shoot
forth in a weak state, which they
would not have done had protection
been afforded them.
For the border we prefer the second
or third sized bulbs, as these can re-
main undisturbed for two or three
years. Large or what we call first
class bulbs will give larger spikes or
flowers, but they will be sure to break
into small bulbs the first season, and
they are of but little value after, while
the small bulbs which proper care will
be good for three years, and if the bed
in which they are planted is to be
used for ANIMALS, which is the better
way, they need not be replaced until
they have fowered three seasons.
