PIGS ALONG SHORE.
They Arc Fed on Fresh Fish to u
Considerable Extent.

They Are Fed on Fresh Fish to
Considerable Extent.
Pigs like fish, and pigs raised along
shore owned by fishermen get plenty Of
fish to eat. Sometimes fish is fed to the
fish to clear them of scurvy. Horseshoe
crabs are often fed to pigs, the crabs be-
ing cut clear of the shells so that the
pigs can get at them easily; the pigs
like horseshoes.
Often around salt water creeks min
nows are caught and dumped into pig
pens by the bushel. Many fish have
hard, sharp, projecting spines that
might stick In the pigs throat. When
fish of this sort are fed the spines are
first cut off, and only the bodies and
tails fed. One of the names of the
American sole is hog choker.
Other food is fed along with fish, and
fish is never fed to the pigs before kill
ing time; it would make the pork taste
4ishy. Pigs will eat soft clans. Down
Bay of Fundy way pigs go out at low
tide and root up mussels. There, where
the tide rises 40 or so feet, and comes
in with great suddenness, it is neces-
sary for the pigs to be on the alert, and
they are. They hear the first sound
of the coming tide wave and turn and
scamper for the shore, and even then
they get there none too soon, occa-
sionally.-N. Y, Sun.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Its General Introduction Is u Matter
of National Importance.
The national Importance of the ques-
ton of growing our own sugar supply
is fast being realized, both by the farm
ers who will most directly benefit by its
realization, and by the general public
who are beginning to discern the extern
sive qualifications of an industry which
will keep an immense amount of money
at home which has hitherto been sent
abroad. 1t is q feature-perhaps the
principal, one-in q large scheme for
such a widening of our agricultural
operations as will embrace the produc-
ton of many articles now imported and
which can be profitable and successful
" raised at home To-day we are i'm
porting large quantities Of tobacco
which might as we'll be grown here,
where our varied climatic conditions
are favorable for the many varieties OF
the fragrant weed. There are also sew
eraI vegetable fibers adapted for home
growth, but for which large sums are
Annually sent to other countries-such
as hemp, fax, jute, etc. That the home
growth of tobacco is capable of large
extension is evinced by the fact that
for the year ending June last, over
SIS 100000 was paid for foreign grown
and manufactured tobacco. To import
cotton, seems very like the proverbial
sending Goals to Newcastle" but ST.
100000 worth were received during the
same period; while of vegetable fbres,
such as hemp, fax, jute, manila hemp,
etc., close on $40, 900, 900 worth were inn
ported, including both raw and manu-
featured material. Here are over $685.
100000 paid out for purely agricultural
products which, with our almost I'M
limited natural resources, can be raised
by our farmers. There may be some de-
auctions on account of brands Of for
eien-grown tobacco necessary for GER
tain uses, and also for some descrip-
tions of cotton; but the bulk Of the
large sum mentioned could certainly be
retained at home, and will be when our
farmers are more alive to their necessi-
ties. Corn and cotton are both impor-
tant factors in our agricultural eco
Monies, but it is possible and advisable
to have more than one or two crops to
rely on; and the more diversified the
farmers operations, the less is he like
lv to suffer from an over-abundance OF
either cotton or corn.-Journal of Agri-
culture.

Care of Farm Machinery.

More harvesting machinery is de-
stroyed by the hot sun of midsummer
than by actual cost. The wood work of
machinery lasts much longer. If it is
given coat of linseed oil once year.
Some idle day go over the, running
gears of the wagon and give the cult
vators, harrows, hay rakes and other
machines coat of the same. Anyone
can do this, rs there is no danger Of
getting too much oil on the wood, and it
will not hurt the metal parts in any

HOW A WOMAN ROBBED THE TREASURY.

From The Rochester Post-Express.
During the incumbency OF the Office OF United
States Treasurer by Mr.. Hyatt Of Connecticut. a
woman employed In the redemption division was
discovered In very ingenious scheme for making
a fortune at the expense Of the United States
AS Is well known. the Department redeems at
full face value any portion OF bill. provided
more than one-thrd Is missing. This woman would
take n package OF $40 bills say, and would tear
fraction, perhaps three-quarters OF an inch long
from one OF them. She would secrete this portion
and In a short time would take another bill OF like
denomination and tear off piece twice as long
substituting the smaller piece from the first bill SO
as TO bring the note up to the limit OF length
Quired. Proceeding In this way. she would In the
course OF few hours secure for herself one extra
bill.
Just how much the woman stole was never as
certained, but she succeeded In saving enough
money out OF salary OF 500 year TO build
beautiful house in a semi shionable quarter OF
the city and to supply herself with valuable brio
A-brac and even a horse and carriage. II the
fact that she generally drove 10 the Department
every morning In this vehicle that attracted atten-
ton TO mode OF living and eventually led the
discovery Of her method OF peculation. She was
Indicted by the Grand Jury. but never tried
as she died from before the day set for her
trial 49, a.
The amount OF money which this thrifty count
ess'' secured was estimated at all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000, but there Is absolutely no means
OF discovering just how much she did secure from
her dishonest practices.
