SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

It was in Warwickshire that I made

while I was still quite child The

John Franklin was SO well qualified to
give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode of witnessing the
observation of the sun was to watch 1t
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided, when
we sailed forth to an open piece Of
ground where nothing impeded the
view. The result was that in the
course of a few minutes the noses Of
every one present were severely black
ened-unconsciousiy to themselves
and the appearance of the whole scien-
tific party was irresistibly comic.
SirJohn Franklin appeared then so
full of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think of him af-

TURN THE PIGS OUT.

Pigs raised out of doors always do
better than those raised indoors. The
pure fresh air that they take into their
systems gives them new blood, strong
vitality, and a great advantage in
healthful digestion of food over those
confined. Animals need exercise; they
need green food, and they need fresh
air. These are the great secrets of
success in swine breeding. There are
other secrets, too, but these are ones
that every one may possess and prac
tice Too much exercise makes the
pigs large and bony, but lays little fat
on them. But swine will not as a rule
take too much exercise If they have
enough food. They are naturally lazy
animals, and the bony, thin, muscular,
razor-back hogs of the South owe their
leanness as much to their lack of food
as to their exercise. If they cannot
get enough to eat they will run around
to satisfy this desire, and this may
run flesh off them as fast as the food
can put it on.
Turn pigs loose in clover lot,
where there is plenty of grass to eat.
and they will not take a great amount
of grass to eat. and they will not
take a great amount Of exercise. They
will know where to draw the line.
They will follow about the same ex-
ample that he mich cows do. No one
is afraid to give them freedom in the
grass lot lest they should take so
much exercise as to retard the flow Of
milk In fact, they enlarge the supply
of milk by having this freedom. Cows
that are penned up all of the time are
not as hardy and Indifferent to disease
and Indictment weather as those
brought up in freedom in the fields.
We have our standard of the most
profitable hog. 1t is one, according To
the judges, which will have the most
ham, with the least waste of fat: plen-
ty of bone and sinew; long and deep
sides, and plenty of lean meat. If this
is the model of the perfect hog, then
plenty of freedom in the fields, where
they can take exercise, will tend to
produce the ideal animal. In order to
have a good stand-up frame it is nee
essary to take exercise, and when the
animal gets such frame it will digest
its food thoroughly and aSSiI1ilate it.
Their appetiteS are strengthened and
sharpened by the fresh air and by the
exercise, but it is not the unnatural
appetite that is seen in some pen-im-
prisoned hogs. They do not digest
enough of their food to satisfy the
craving of their natures, and they eat
undue quantities, and yet get nc
stronger. 1t is the healthy appetite
in the animals that makes excellent
pork, bone and muscle that we want,
and which the open air and exercise
give. If their appetites are stimulated.
then give all of the food to them that
they can eat.
Throw all of the roots, vegetable
tops, and such waste material into the
field where the hogs are pastured.
They like the variety, and will do BET
ter Arrange the pasture as far as
possible so that the animals can be
pastured out all summer, for in the
hot months the pasture will be thin,
and not sufficient to nourish them

His One Fad.
There is only one fad that Mr.. Nor
gan has, and that is the raising Of
collies. At Cragston on the Hudson,
his country seat, he has fine kennels
inhabited solely by his favorite var
iety Of dogs. Some years ago he had
a number of fine mastiffs, but these
he discarded so that he could devote
his attention to perfecting the breed of
collies. Even in his hobbies, concen-
tration, his great forte, is brought in
to play.
The kennels.
The kennel is substantially built
structure, surrounded by a thick wood,
affording shelter both from the north
ers which sweep down the valley in
winter and from the excessive sum-
mer's heat, so trying to heavily
coated collies. The view of the kennels
is taken from the south. and shows a
mann SeIiNSl puIihlIlS WIFI wings. Inc
lower floor is entirely devoted to dogs.
the wings being each subdivided into
commodious rooms or kennels, each of
which connect with a separate exercise
yard. A brick wall to the height of
three feet encloses each yard, and
above that is a strong wire fence of
nearly eight feet, supported on a sub
stantial oak frame. The Enclosures are
built in a manner more suggestive of
pens for captive lions than yards for
the mild-tempered collies. The middle
section of the building is divided into
thee large rooms on the ground floor.
one at the south and two at the north
end. The first is for storing travelling
hampers and for all work which has
to be done indoors, and the other two
are the cooking and the bath rooms.
These three have wooden floors, but
the kenen1 rooms all have concrete
floors, so as TO be easily cleaned.
In these kennels are the finest lot of
collies in the, country, and to recite
their victories at prize shows would
take a deal of space. Incidentally. it
can be said that Mr. Morgan knows
as much about collies as he does about
finance.

JUST BEFORE THE YALU FIGHT.

JUST BEFORE THE YALU FIGHT.
The Chen Yuen's forenoon routine,
drills and exercise had been carried
out, and the cooks were preparing the
midday meal, when the smoke from
the enemy's ships was sighted by the
lookout men at the masthead. They
were made out almost simultaneously
from several vessels, and before even
a signal could be made from the flag
ship, the bugles throughout the fleet
were sounding merrily the Officers

black smoke shooting upward from our

stoke-holes, were storing up energy in

little remained to be done. There were
woful defects in our ammunition sup
