FORM OF HOG.

Whether the object be pork or bacon,
the points to be looked for are, in the
SOW, a small, lively head, a broad and
deep chest, round ribs, ~capacious bar
rel, a hauuch, falling almost to the
hough, deep and broad loin, ample
hips, and considerable length of body
in proportion to its height. Nor must
the broad, fat, table-like back, the
broad, thick shoulders and ham be for
gotten. The flesh should rise full and
round behind the ears. One qualifica
tion should ever be kept in view, and
perhaps, should be the first point to
which the attention should be directed,
viz smallness of bone in proportion to
the flesh, and fneness of the best parts,
with lightness of offal. LIT the boar
be less in size than the SOW, shorter
and more compact in form, with a raise
and brawny neck, lively eye, small
head, firm, hard flesh, and, if of the
large breed, his neck well furnished
with bristles. In other respects, look
for the same points as described in
reference to the SOW. Breeding within
two close degrees of consequently, or,
as it is technically styled, breeding in
and in, is some times said to be calcu
lated to produce degeneracy in size,
and also to impair the animals fertil-
ity it is certainly to be avoided where
the breed is not OF great culture, al
though some breeders maintain that a
first cross does not harm; but, on the
contrary, that it produces ofsprings
which are p~redisposed to arrive earlier
at maturity.

THE HORRIBLY.

The most satisfactory way of pre-
venting the attacks of the horDfy is to
apply to the cattle some substance that
serves ae a repellant. The New Hamp-
shire Experiment Station has expert
mented with a number of materials,
and finds that the best results are OBJ
tanned by the use of a cheap oil-euch
as fish oil or crude c~ottonseed oil-to
which a small amount of carbolic acid
or pine tar has been added. Applied
rather lightly to the cattle by means of
a paint brush, a sponge or even a
wooden cloth, such combination imme-
diately drives off the flies and remains
on in a condition to keep them off for
about a week. This is a very simple
remedy it should be applied whenever
the f.es become too troublesome.
Either of the following formulas is
recommended for this purpose: I

these substances are to be mixed and

THE DAIRY.
DAIRYING IN VIRGINIA.

A gentleman near Fredericksburg
says, he saved for his COWS in May, six
acres OF corn, to feed green during the
dry season. During August he uEed
the corn from two acres. That month
his income from his dairy was $118 66,
A ton of shorts fed, in addition to the
corn, cost $18. AS soon as the corn
was off he sowed in rye. In April he
began to cut and fed the rye to his
COWS, and while he was feeding from
these two acres, his dairy yielded $97.
From this deduct $18 as above leaves
$79 for these two acres, which added to
500 sc net product in August, makes
$179 Sc from two acres in the year. He
dairying pays. Be sure you give intel
ligent attention if you wish it to pay.
Mr.. Grant, near Richmond, has the
milk from each of his COWS .7eighed
Immediately after milking and put on

year he knows which are his best COWS
CO Because, if one of them is failing,
it first shows in the milk, and he thus,
as it were, has his hand all the time on
the pulse of each COW.
Once he was feeding a COW very
high, and gradually increasing her

quantity of feed that she could digest

No coarse stable manure should be
plowed under late in the season. 1t
will only dry up and injure the crop
without benefting it. When u>ed on
winter grain manur should always be
applied as top dressing. Then it will
be an immediate benefit to young
clover, making a rich place where it
lies, and thus giving the clover a vigor-
GUS start as soon as it terminates. Even
if manure plowed under for winter
grain late in summe should ferm9nt,
it would only make the soil looser, and
therefore more capable of absorbing
and holding water, and therefore cause
it to heave out the grain when the soil
alternately expands and contracts with
alternate freezing and thawing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The World con-
tains additional details OF the burning of
ten heretics by the judge of the Next
can town OF TexacaDa, which is published
today in special dispatch from Pa

municipal president and minor officials
with an escort of over sixty men. armed
with rifles, went to Texacapa. where
they found everybody in the public square

enemies OF the faith and heretics whom
God had ordered through his holy saint
to be consumed by fire.
=, The auxiliary Judge related this with
He. added that God had wrought aston

had told him in the vision.
Said the judge: 81 obeyed the divine
command and ordered out my constables
and we took these sinners from their
beds and dragged them in the darkness
of night, weeping and waiting, to the Jail.
When they were locked securely in I
ordered the constables to set the, building
on fire.
Twenty-one arrests were made. al
though the fanaticaI mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners.

SENSIBLE POLITICIANS.
Democratic and Republican Manage
ers VIII Exchange Election Re-
turns.

CINCINNATI. Nov 3LThere have
heretofore been agreements between the
Republican and the Democratic state
committees in Ohio on the comparison OF
the vote for gains or losses. The West
ern Union Telegraph company will pre-
pare it's bulletins here as fast as the
precincts are heard from. Superintend-
ent 1. n. Miller conferred with the state
committees this year as usual. The De-
miocrats wanted to compare the vote
with that of 1894, when the Republican
plurality was $4,000 for secretary of
state. The Republicans wanted to COM
pare the vote with that for governor in
1898, when McKinley'S plurality was
81, 600. Mr.. Miller has decided to COM
pare the vote with that of 1893 because
the tickets are the same as two years
ago, for governor, etc, while last year
only minor state officers We're elected.
The Democratic state committee will.
however, compare with 1894, and there
will be two sets of reports next Tuesday
night.

WAR VESSELS SENT SOUTH.
North Atlantic Squadron Will .sNIan-
euvero in the West Indies.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3.-Admiral
Bunce, North Atlantic squadron, is to go
to the West Indies, and is moreover to
be reinforced but at the navy depart
ment it is explicitly stated that the move
ment is not in any manner brought about
by any motive save desire to continue
the squadron manouvres that have been
conducted during the past summer 1t is
declared to be the fact that this southern
cruise was all arranged for early in the
summer between Secretary Herbert and
Admiral Bunce, when the scheme of
evolutions was gone over. The plan was
first a cruise off the New England coast,
then off the South Atlantic coast and
lastly another cruise in the winter when
the conditions would be unfayorable in
northern waters, and this programme is
being carried out to the letter. The Min
neapolis and Columbia have arrived at
Fort Monroe. where they will in the
course of a month be joined by the other
vessels of the squadron, as soon as some
needed repairs can be made on them and
the Maine. Texas and the .ciuGinIati, if
the latter can be spared from patrol duty
on the Florida coast and then the en-
tire squadron of eight VESSELS will lie
headed for the West lndias.

that the woman assigned this claim to
