A NEW METHOD WITH HOGS.

The method and success Of farmer
In Franklin County, Ohio, is worthy Of
note, writes w. Il. Taylor. Sows are
bred to farrow I'm July or August. As
soon as the filters are old enough to
wean, the sows are taken away, fat
tened and sold or slaughtered by Jan.
1. The herd Of pigs are kept thrifty
and growing through fall and winter.
AS soon as blue grass or clover peeps
out I'm spring they get that, followed
by other pasture range until the last
Of June, when a full ration of corn Is
fed. BY the last Of August or Sept. I
they are ready to sell. Out Of this
young herd every spring the most likely
females are taken and bred to farrow
as before, keeping no sows over winter.
This gentleman's methods In this
line are worthy Of imitation and his
success as farmer has been perfectly
satisfactory to him through a success
sion of years. No doubt the average
price obtained has been above fall and
winter level, and think II taken
through his twenty years would come
pretty close to the five cent mark. Hav-
Ing bought many lots Of his feeding, ]

Found a Fountain Tree.

"Nr. Henri Lecomte, who has re-
Gently returned from mission to
Kongo," says the Scientific American,
gives some curious details concerning
a fountain tree that he met with in mis-
travels. This tree, which Is very lofty
and grows in damp places, Is called the
'moosanga.' 1t belongs to the order
Urticaceae. The trunk is very regular
and is provided with large branches
that bear finely. dissected leaves. 1t is
divided at the base, like that of the
mangroves, and enters the earth
through n large number Of ramifica-
tons. When the tree is cut ut
height of about five feet, says the
Chronique Industrielle, a large guam
tity Of water Is observed to flow from
the section. Mr.. Lecomte cut one at
height of five feet from the ground that
had diameter of twenty inches, and
then, forming gutter along the trunk,
placed a pail at the base. The next
morning the pail, which held nine
quarts, had overfowed. The water
continues to flow after the trunk has
been cut for some time. 1t doubtless
ascends the trunk through capillarity.
1t seems to be perfectly potable, al
though rich in Chords and other
salts"

Notes of a Weighty Bell.

The second bell in weight In the
world, that in Mingoon, in India, has
lately been raised from the ground
and arranged so as to ring again, after
a lapse Of nearly a century, says the
Westminster Gazette. This bell
weighs between ninety and one hun
dred tons. 1t Is surpassed by the giant
at Moscow in weight, but the latter
has lost a large piece out Of it, and, as
it is used as chapel, cannot now be
rung. There is, however, another bell
at Moscow, which Is used, and Is said
to weigh 12S tons.
The Mingoon bell is twelve feet high
and about eighteen feet in diameter ut
the rim. The immense wooden beams
on which 1t formerly hung have long
since been broken down at the shackle.
1t has recently been rehung on a steel
girder ut a height Of twenty-five feet
from the ground. 1t is proposed to en-
case the supporting columns and grid
ers with carved teak In a Burmese de.
sign, and then erect cupola over the
whole structure. The bell Mt Pekin,
which is the third largest in the world
that can still be used, weighs only
fifty-eight tons.

The Mystery OF Life.

The questions, what is life!" and
what Is death?" have often beer
asked, but have never yet been ans
wered in a manner that was entirely
satisfactory to the biologists and Other
investigators. Years ago it was as
serted that the mystery was on the eve
of solution, and that the pursuit Of the
vital principle was about to end in O
discovery of its mysterious workings
Three or four years ago the British
Scientist announced that "the discov
cry of the cellular principle Of all life
has been discovered, and, IL the con.
illusions of our most eminent thinkers
are to be taken into consideration the
great secret of life itself is about to be
disclosed" About the same time &
London cablegram announced that
eminent biologists have asserted In
recent years that the chemists will
soon be able to compose the necessary
parts and conditions Of living thing
and create life itselfv' 1t is not neces
sary to inform intelligent readers that
the necessary parts and conditions
of living things have never as yet been
mixed in a chemists laboratory. Until
this Is done, the mechanical theory OF
life,"' to which SO many biologists ad.
here, will remain improved.

Nimble Black Snakes.

There has been much discussion
among naturalists and iifo.portsmen.s
journals regarding the ability Of this.
our one constructor, to travel swiftly
amid the branches. Ten thousand men
have seen the sleek black streak Of
rope accomplish the feat easily. Here
is but one incident, says Recreation.
There are some very good woods in
la Sale County, Illinois, because
through that county run two Of the
Mississipri's tributaries, the Illinois
and one of its branches. the Vermilion.
Bailey's Greek is one Of the little farm
land tributaries Of the Vermilion River.
Along the creek are reaches Of wood
hand, or ut least there were a while ago.
In those bits of woods-bits as com
pared with Michigan fOrests-therc are
and have been, black snakes, great
fellows worthy their reputation further
east. This is what happened one day
when young fellow went hunting. Ii
is worth while telling. because it illus
trates the black snakes nimblencss
! among the tree tops. Wandering along
cautiously and quietly, looking Tor Il
shot on either side, the young man
heard suddenly an uncommon rustling
among the leaves above him. He
looked up and saw something that as
| tonished him. A fox squirrel-and n
| fox squirrel Is the biggest Of the SPUR
rel kind-was leaping from limb to
! limb, and from tree to tree In mortal
alright, evidently fleeing from some
deadly enemy. Close behind him, curv
ing, twining and twisting, but with all
details OF its locomotion invisible from
below, 40 swift its progress, and so
easy its passing from limb to limb and
tree to tree, came three to five feet Of
blackness. 1t was black snake pur-
suing the fox squirrel. It's chase was
hopeless, but the ability and the hum
cry earnestness Of this one constructor
Of our northern woods was demonstrate
ed remarkably. AS for the man under
neath-well, he was young fellow
with n shotgun. The young fellow
with n shotgun Is reasonably good
shot in the country, and he kills suakes.
He poured load of shot In that black
streak among the branches, and 1t
dropped to the ground, merely n fou',
dead, moderately sized specimen OF
Boscanion constructor.

ESTABLISHING AN APIARY.

| ESTABLISHING AN APIARY.
A bulletin of the Department of Ag.
riculture says: Spring IL the best time
to establish an apiary, especially foi
a person unacqualnted with the prac-
teal care of bees. Colonies In good
| condition secured then are more easily
kept In order by the novice than II pur-
chased In the fall. Mistakes In man.
agement may possibly be remedied be-
fore the season closes, and by the time
II is necessary to prepare for the win
ter the learner will have gained a GER
tain amount of practical knowledge
Of the nature and requirements Of the
bees.
III the start be made late In the sea-
suit fatally before the proper remedy
can be applied. The beginner had bet
ter obtain his start by purchasing one
or two colonies of pure Italian or Car
NOLAN bees in accurately made frame
hives and In first-class condition. These
he should get of some bee master of
repute near his own place II possible
In order to avoid expressage and posi-
bic damage through long confinement
or numerous transfers. The cost per
colony may be So to $S,yet bees at this
price will generally be found much
cheaper in the end, for, though com
mon bces In box hives may frequently
be obtained at half the price or less
the cost, when finally transferred into
frame hives, fitted up with straight
combs, and the common queens re-
placed by Italian or Carniolans, will
not be less.
The possession Of colony already in
prime working order gives the novice
standard with which to compare all
others, and often enables him to avoid
costly experiments. Another plan, also
commendable, is to agree with some
neighboring bee keeper to deliver as
many first swarms OH the day they is
sue as are wanted. These will give
the right start If placed as received in
hives with foundation starters and the
frames properly spaced-one and three
eighths inches from centre to centre,
1t being understood that the swarms
are early and prime ones, with vigorous
queens. Only those issuing from colo
MES that have swarmed the year be-
fore. or from such as We're themselves
second swarms of the previous year
should be accepted. Swarms from these
will have queens not over one year old.
1T Is better to have queens of the
current years raising, but these can
only be obtained by taking the second
or third swarms from given hive,
which come later and are smaller, or by
substituting young queens for those
that come with the swarms.

FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

AS given to the world by Dorothy
Tucker through the Farm Journal:
Sailing regularly is one very impor-
tant matter in the dairy.
When COWS have not received an
abundance Of salt, and then change
to regular sailing is practiced, a great
