SWINE.

Raw potatoes are not fully digestible,
and the best advantage will not accrue
from feeding them. Ii one can fit up an
apparatus easily for doing the work, it
will pay to cook the small potatoes before
feeding them to the hogs; the hogs will
thrive better. and the potatoes go furth-
er.
1t is we'll to have some pigs to sell at
different times of the year. Sell early,
for often the quick growing, early ma
turing pigs pay better than to feed
logger. Sell them to get the NOR eY and
start to feed up small pigs again. Let
the money earn its profit twice in the
year.
Feed variety to produce the best
meat. All corn fed hogs are not the
best for choice meat. The hog products
which command the highest prices in
English markets come from countries
which are not noted for the production
of corn-England. Ireland, Denmark.
If there is benefit in pure breeds. why
not get this benefit to the full? Hogs,
like chickens, multiply and breed up so
fast that we cannot afford to raise, feed
or fatten any but the very best. A pure
bred boar will soon grade up the herd;
but, if possible. have one or two pure
bred sows.
Take good care that the pigs have a
sufficient supply of salt, ashes and char
coal; keep it in a box under shelter
where they can help themselves, and
never let the supply entirely run out.
There is no danger of them eating too
much, for their own cravings will meas.
ure that.
1t is we'll to have the young stock in
tended for sale in splendid condition,
and. of course, all show animals, but the
sows will have more pigs and do better
if kept thin. About two weeks before
they farrow give plenty of milk produc-
ing food, and feed them we'll while suck
ling.
Under the greatest advantages it is
costly business to winter stock. Have
the hogs ready to ship before very cold
weather. From the herds keep only the
dairy COWS and such as will fatten rapid
ly for the market. There must be some
special reason for keeping anything
else.
In storing the beets for winter feed
cellar should be prepared in the barn,
so that they can be kept without freez-
ing, and be reached without inconven-
fence in even the coolest weather. 1t is

The Propulsion of Balloons.

In attempting to propel balloon of
the usual shape the great difficulty met
with is that Immediately it begins to
move against the wind. the big bag of
gas is forced out OF shape, and in pro
portion to the propelling power applied,
threatens to engulf the car and its ten
ants in its folds or to sutfocate them
with the gas, which is caused to escape
by the alienation of its capacity with
change of shape, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. The other difficulty is the
construction of a powerful enough and
yet light motor which does not require
fire to work it. Though many attempts
have been made advance has been very

strange story. "Dose men say dat

He ra'are, good nice stone-vert
money-dollars," he said.
Although she laughed, she remem-
bered it when one of these strangers
offered to buy the farm, and took
counsel of wiser heads than hers.
The 'green granite proved to be a
rare variety of syenite. Helen's
rocky acres were valuable even above
Napoleon's guess. The unselfish sac
rifice of her plans proved to be Gods

ward lay not in that, but in the lesson
taught her beside the sick bed-the
lesson of self-giving which will per-

life.

slow. The French, who have persist
emily stuck to the balloon from ma
tional pride in its invention, and who
have done most for its Improvement,
have made some notable steps 10 the
matter of balloon propulsion. Thus,
toward the close of the Franco German
war, M. Dupuy de LONE, naval builder,
constructed balloon with rudder and
screw driven by the passengers. 1t was
found that velocity, apart from that of
the air current, of about six miles an
hour, could be obtained.
The empire of the air is not to be won
by balloons. They have too many i'm
projections and limitations and, accord
ingly, this at first sight hopeful path
must be Abandoned for the more difficult
one of mechanical flying. The bird must
be initiated as far as human powers,
aided by suitable mechanical devices to
make up for the natural deficiencies of
man, can go. The efforts of those in
terested in the matter have been of late
mainly directed to flying machines
which. though they must necessarily be
heavier than the air, yet may find in that
very weight and inertia, means for bat
thing successfully with the variable air
currents. The subject has been ap-
preached in many directions and much
encouragement has been gained as the
difficulties have been more thoroughly
understood.

HORTICULTURE.

Many of our common Towering plants
are not sufficiently priced. The Iris, or
flag. as it is usually called. is beautiful,
hardy plant. and the varieties now are
quite numerous. One kind after an
other. they bloom for from two to three
months.
The large scarlet blossoms of the
trumpet vine are great attraction to
flower lovers in midsummer. 1t is too
coarse grower for the walls of dwell
ing house, but for other walls, posts or
fences it is good one. Unsightly places
can be made beautiful to look upon.
Although it is not universally the
custom. deciduous trees should be
planted before the leaves expand, and
evergreens before the young growth puts
forth. With all trees the early paintings
usually do the best; and yet shade trees
may be transplanted at almost any sea.
son of the year.
Plant English ivy and anything else
which is doubtfully hardy on the north
side of buildings. 1t is the winters sun
which hurts them, and not the cold.
The tying up Of roses ano such plants
with straw is on the same principle, that
the light may be excluded.
There are lighter colors as we'll as the
darker ones among the Persian lilacs,
just as there are OF the common sorts.
This does not grow to be SO large bush
as the familiar lilac. but it is sure and
profuse bloomer. and quite fragrant;
it is little later 10 towering
Dark manures draw the heat and are
not so good for mulching gooseberries.
Freshly cut grass makes a good and
lasting summer mulch. The English
variety and our own. for that matter,
seem grateful for a supply of some such
kind about their roots in warm weather.
The large, pinkish white flowers OF the
crab apple tree in early spring, and its
beautiful fruit later in the season, entitle
it to distinction, and then its small
growth permits of its use where there
would not be room for tree of ordinary
size. 1t is as often planted for orna-
ment as for it's fruit.

Many Good Uses of Salt.

Salt cleanses the palate and furred
tongue, and gargle of salt and water is
often efficacious. A pinch of salt on the
tongue, followed ten minutes afterward
by a drink OF cold water. often cures a
sick headache. Salt hardens gums,
makes teeth white and sweetens the
breath. Cut flowers may be kept fresh
by adding salt to the water. Weak an
kles should be rubbed with solution of
salt, water and alcohol. Rose colds, hay
fever and kindred affections may be
much relieved by using fine dry salt.
like snuff. Dyspepsia, heart burn and
indigestion are relieved by cup of hot
water 10 which small spoonful of salt
has been melted. Salt and water will
sometimes revive an unconscious person
when hurt, if more efficient RENE
dies are not at hand. Hemorrhage
from tooth.pulling is stopped by fill
ing the mouth with salt and water.
Weak and tired eyes are refreshed by
bathing with warm water and salt.
Public speakers and many noted singers
use wash of salt and water before and
after using the voice. as it strengthens
the organs of the throat. Salt rubbed
into the scalp or occasionally added to
the water in washing prevents the hair
falling out. Feathers uncurled by damp
weather are quickly-dried by shaking
over fire in which salt has been thrown.
Salt always shonld be eaten with nuts,
and a dessert fruit salt used should be
specially made.-Philadelphia Ledger.

AGRICULTURE.

The value of the corn fodder is fully
equal to half the crop of corn which it
has borne; that is, when it is properly
cared for. The day for whole acres OF
standing woody stalks is past; but it all
depends upon the method of handling
whether they are good for much or good
for nothing.
1t is not easy to see why starch fac
tories are not more numeroue. Where
the business of making starch from po-
tatoes has been carried on it has proved
to be profitable industry. and has in
creased the value of farm land devoted
to potatoes. Few are in our Western
country.
Protracted heat makes turnips pithy,
and liable to be worm eaten. For this
reason the colder climate of England and
Canada is better adapted to the grow
ing of this vegetable, and low temper
allure increases them in size and flavor.
While the soil may be full of fertility,
tillage only will not supply the elements
of nutrition. If continuous cropping, by
the machine or animal, is to be prac.
ticed, the manure must not be withheld,
however good the tillage may be. Fer
tilization and tillage together make the
large crops.
Grain shocks standing late in the field
where there is young clover often kill
the plants they cover, and leave bare
spots. A full stand is one of the requis-
ties toward full crop, and anything
short of full crop inevitably discounts
the chance for profit.
If we could control drouths, and thus
make our crops certain thing and fix
the earning power and value of our land.
farming would become one of the exact
sciences. Irrigation is accomplishing
this more than any one thing in the
West; subsoiling is the chief refuge in
the East.
Why do farmers put Of planting tim.
Der in the waste places? When the sup.
ply on the farm begins to grow 80 short
that there is not an abundance OF wood
for all needs of the owner, the market
value of that farm suffers at once. The
very fear of this should be suggestion
to plant little timber at once.
Some men remain renters all their lives
because they say it is cheaper to rent
land than to pay taxes. 1t is readily
| observed that the land does not improve
much under the management of such
} men; they are seldom progressive far
mers, and rarely obtain a competence
from their methods.
We should have less trouble in getting
desirable farm hands if we could give
them steady employment throughout
the year. A good man does not need to
be idle one third of his time. There
should be some way to manage his work
profitably to yourself in such way that
he need not leave you in the fall

ing, and an exchange Of experiences
with ones neighbors is one way to full

a waste of labor to chop them, as both
hogs and cattle will eat them when
whole with less danger Of choking.
Mother sows require more than twice
as much food as the other hogs when
the pigs are three weeks old, and, il they
do not have it, both the sows and the
pigs will suffer. While there must be
caution at first, the rule is to feed the
brood sows literally.
Many may think it but business, but
cleanliness in feeding will increase the
use of our pork and pork products in
both our home and foreign markets
where quality counts against mere guam
tity of fat and mud favored meat. Nei-
Their does it take an epicure to detect
the difference.
