FEEDING YOUNG PICS.

Sweet Skim Milk.
Few feeders believe III giving extra
food to sucking pigs before they are
four weeks old. The size OF the litter, of
course, requires earlier feeding whem
the lam is young OF deficient III her
milk secretion. The danger of indiges-
ton in the youngsters warrants one in
being tardy IN mixing milk with the
natural ration.
The first and best ration is n mixture
OF pure oatmeal Game as used on your
wv tablc) with sweet skimmilk, and it
should be cooked To suit your own taste
and relish. Then thin the same with
milk which has been heated and allowed
to cool. For three days or q week this
mixture should be the only slop given
the youngsters. Then, # expense is too
great, the oatmeal can be replaced by
wheat shorts or "middlings." If clear
oatmeal is ont of the question to begin
with, the shorts may be substituted.
IL the Gam is grazing on good blue
grass, or clover, the pigs may be given
ground oats with the hnlls, mixed with
the shorts after the fifth week of their
age, and q bit of corn meal for variety
may DO used. Coarse bran should be
withheld until after the age of four
months. if possible, except where n
chronic, costiye condition Of the bowels
exists.
While grazing the weaned pigs up to
four months of age will do well on a klop
made Of equal parts of corn meal, oats
ground and shorts, given morning and
evening. A few grains, to each, of
soaked shclled corn at noon time will do

ODDITIES IN ETIaUETTE.
What Is Considered Proper or Improper
in Different Countries.

In Holland a lady is expected to re-
tire precipitately if she should enter a
store or restaurant where men are SON
gregated. She waits until they have
transacted :ao;c business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to receive
a male visitor, and they rarely accom-
papy him to the door. For a Spaniard
to give a lady-even his wife-his arm
while out walking is looked upon a q
violation of propriety.
No Turk will ever enter n sitting
room with dirty shoes. The upper
classes wear tight-6tting shoes with
goloshes over them. The latter, which
receive all the dirt and dust, are left
outside the door. The Turk never
washes in dirty water. Wateris poured
over his hands. so that when polluted it
runs away.
In Syria the people never take of
their hats or turbans when entering the
house or visiting a friend, but they al.
ways leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats OF scrapers outside.
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in Mos
lem houses aud used TO kneel upon
while praying.
In Persia, among the aristocracy. a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling. and gives a days notice if
the visit is one of great Importance. He
is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations arc
shown him, according to relative rank.
The left and not the right is considered
the position of honor.
In Sweden, if you address the poorest
person on the street you must lift your

on if you pass a lady on the stairway.

fall turnips. The blossoms are o bright
yellow, hence they can DO seen from
afar. The seeds resemble those Of tur-
nips, cabbage and rape, and they ripen
Mt any time from the end Of June on
ward until the season of frost arrives.
This plant grows in all kinds of soils
and in any climate possessed of suhi-
Gent moisture to mature grain. But
IT has II particular affinity for sandy
loans ane prairie soils. It grows amid
Gil kinds of grain crops. but is not very
troublesome in winter wheat winter
rye, meadows or pastures. This arises
from the fact that 1t cannot withstand
frost. The seeds are distributed along
with those Of the various spring grains
through the agency of water and wind,
and 10 some extent through that of
birds. Flax seed is frequently the me-
dunn for carrying wild mustard seed.
The distribution of this plant in Amer
lea Is as wide as the continent. In the
pruirie countries It Is becoming very
prevalent.
When once established, wild mustard
cannot be quickly eradicated. And il
fighting 1t those methods should be
adopted which shall most readily cause
the seed to terminate, aud which, at tho
same zine, give opportunity to destroy
the plants without excessive labor. Un-
til these are all sprouted we cannot get
completely I'D Of the weed.
When there nre only n few plants
they should be pulled when IN bloom,
and this should be done from year 10
year til! they IRE gene. The aid Of a
saddle horse on large prairie fur1ns may
legitimatcly be called in. Winter rye
ond meadow tend to prevent the in
crease of tie plants; hence when mus
tardrsmitten lanGs are seeded to grass
Ii seed should be sown on u nurse crop
OF rye or winter wheat.
When the battle of eradication is be-
Ing fought two modes of procedure may
be adopted. BY the first a succession
Of hoed or cultivated crops may be
grown until the seeds in the soil have
become SO reduced that hand-pulling
the plants which grow from them will
be practicable. The number OF these
crops required will vary. but one will
seldom suffice. By the second method
the plan OF growing several forage crops
a year for two OF more years successive.
~, and eating them or with sheep, is
n of the very best ways of eradicating
wild mustard thai will ever be adopted.
The sheep will turn oil the mustard
plants into good mutton and they will
enrich the land and clean it Of noxious
weeds while thus engaged. The crops
suitable for such work are rye, rape
sorghum, peas and oats and millet. As

SWEET CORN FODDER.
Il Has Been Fec with Excellent Results
Down In Maine.

IL Has Been Fed with Excellent Results
Down In Maine.
Mr.. Walker McKeen, secretary Of
Maine state board of agriculture, says:
Previous to having a silo we fed quito
large quantities of sweet corn fodder
cured, with excellent results. The best
way to manage this after it is cut is to
shock carefully and allow it to dry
thoroughly, then dray to the barn and
puck. preferably in u bay, in alternate
layers with oats, wheat or barley straw.
Make each layer not more than one foot
thick. The straw takes up the niois-
ture, prevents molding, and is made
better for feed by contact with the corn
fodder. We never packed corn with ears
on in this way, but see no reason why it
would not work equally we'll, the only
objection we CAP think of would he the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed frc1u every day with
plenty of oats about the premises we
should not fear much damage from this
source. LII you do not care to try this
pan stand as closely as you can IN some
sheltered place, being sure to have it
placed in such u manner that it will re-
main standing. When feeding # you
have a large proportion of corn you will
probably get becrer results by cutting
or shedding before feeding. Ii you
have but q small proportion you will
nave no trouble in feeding it by using
u small amount each day along with
other folders. Animals will do well on
this fodder. One of the finest and larg-
est herds I know of kept for selling
milk in q city is fed largely in winter
on this dried corn with ears on, their
owner using a large cutter, and two
horse power, cutting n weeks feed
ahead and allowing it to heat slightly.
TO our w use, however, we should
prefer the silo, MS there viii be n saving
of labor and succulent food"

Hast NIodA of Katherine.

This is the Time Of year when It Is
quite common to tether animals out to
grass. A decided improvement upon
the usual method Of doing this is to at
tach to the halter a strap three or four
feet long with n ring in the end. This
ring is slipped over q wire, which is
stretched across the grass plot and
fastened down near the ground at both
ends. A No. 0 wire is sufficient, and 1t
should. Of course, be stretched taut and
well stobbed ut each end. BY this
arrangement the animal can browse full
length Of the wire, without the danger
always attending the use of the long
rope--that Of its winding and taIgling
around his feet.-G. W. Waters, in Jour
nal of Agriculture.

An English Soldier Who wnded In Gum
powder With u Naked Light.

Mr.. Forbcs-Mitchel author of Rem
i%niscences of the Great Mutiny." found
himself, says the YoutA's Companion,
without an ovcrcoat after one of the.
battles at Lucknow, and, being unable
to sleep for the cold, got up in the
night, went into a room of the Shah
Nujcef-where his regiment was en-
camped-took lighted lamp from its
shelf and, shading it with his hand,
walked to the door of the great domea
tomb, or mosque, hoping to find q coat
which some Sepoy in his hurried de-
parture had left behind him. He peercd
inside, and then, holding the lamp high
over his head, walked in till he was
near the center of the vault. Here he
felt his pres:ress INSTRUCTED by a black
heap %fou,3yr five feet high, which felt
to his feet as if he were walking in loose
sand. He lowered the lamp and saw
instantly that he was up to his ankles,
in loose gunpowder! About forty hun
dredwcight Of it lay in u heap before
his nose, while a glance to the left
showed twenty or thirty barrels also
full of powder, and another glance to
the left revealed more than a hundred
eight-inch shells. all loaded with the
fuses fixed, and spare fuses, slow matches
and port fires lying in %profusion beside
the shells.
Il took in the danger Mt q glance" he
writes. Here ! was up to my knees in
powder, in the very bowels of a maya
zine. with a naked light! My hair lit
orally stood on end. felt the skin ON
my head lifting my bonnet off my
scalp. My knees knocked together
and despite the chilly night air a cold
perspiration burst out all over me and
ran down my face and legs. l had
neither cloth nor handkerchief in my
pocket, and there was not q moment to
be lost. Already the ovcrhanging wick
of the Indian lamp was threatening to
shed its smoldering red tip to the mag
aziue at my feet. Quick as thought 1
put my left hand under the down-drop-
ping flame and clasped it with a grasp
of determination. Holding it firmly, I
turned slowly to the door and walked
out with my knees knocking one
against the other. l felt not the Slight
est pain from grasping the burning
wick until l was in the open air, but
when l opened my hand l felt the
smart acutely enough. ] poured the oil
out of the lamp into the burned hand,
aud, knecling down, thanked God for
having saved myself and all the men
lying around me from destruction.
Then I got up, and, staggering rather
than walking to the place where Capt.
Dawson vas sleeping, and shaking him
awake, told him of my discovery and
the fright | Ind pot,
"'Bah, Corporal Mitchellr was all his
answer. You have woke up out of
your sleep and have got frightened at a
shadow for my heart was still thump-
ing against my ribs and my voice was
trembling"
The upshot of the matter was that on
seeing the corporal's burnt hand and
the powder nearly half an inch thick
sticking to his feet and damp CATERS.
the captain was almost as badly scared
as Mitchell himself. The sleeping men
were aroused, the fire was put out as
expeditiously as possible, and a sentry
was posted at the door of the mosque
to prevent anyone from entering.
