Clover Hay for Swine.

There are some who do not appre-
ciate the value Of clover hay for swine.
1t is to be regretted that such apprecia-
ion is not universal, says an exchange
Il is not only valuable because of its
high merit as feed, but because of the
bulk that it furnishes. No growing ami
NAL should be fed exclusively upon the
grains. There should be some bulk
furnished. Swine will eat dry clover
hay with relish, but the better way
to feed it is to cut it up, steam it or
pour hot water on it and mix with
meal. Pasture, If it is the right kind
of pasture. is nearly an essential in
profitable swine raising. 1t should be
clover pasture, but if it is not, it must
be composed of short and tender grass.

iN DEVILS ISLAND.
AsAlLoRs ACCOUNT OF HIS VISIT TO
 CAPTAIN DReYFUs.

Life of the Convict-He Cannot Go Any- where on the Island Without Two Guards at His Heels-Copies of His Letters Are
 Forwarded and Originals Retained.
 Karl Weinheber, cook of the Neither land steamship Andalusia, gives this account of a visit to Devils Island:
 The captain sent me to the island, and while busy in the little kitchen instructing a soldier in the mysteries of broiling lamb chops and cooking pork, had plenty of opportunity to question Captain Dreyfus guards. The men, who at first seemed disinclined to speak, became quite loquacious after while. "He7 was not so ill-treated as those in the world seemed to think; she' is not confined; ''he" can so everywhere on the island. Of course, two men are always at his heels. "He' gets up between 6 and ' in the morning, and his first breakfast consists of a cup of chocolate. If the weather is good he goes for a walk soon afterward. and winds up his promenade by a bath.
 But are you not afraid he might swim away or commit suicide?" asked.
 Not st all" said the soldiers, efor rope is fastened to both his wrists, and the ends of the rope are in the hands of the guard. After the bath he takes his second breakfast-butter, bread, ham or eggs and bottle of beer Then he goes in for study. He reads and writes for several hours"
 What kind of books has he got?" The soldiers looked at each other. Af- ter while one of them said: He is only allowed to read technical works, But he can write whatever he pleases.
 Must he show you what he writes?"
 No; We read only the letters he desires to have forwarded. These are sent to the commander in Cayenne"
 And does the commander send them off as reeeived?9
 No; they are copied. and the orig inals are retained at Cayenne"
 What does he do besides reading and writing?"
 We received permission from the commander to play cards with the prisoner, and he has become an in- veterate gambler. After dinner-he has always soup, a roast and dessert- about 2 o'clock in the afternoon VIC always play baccarat together"
 What are the stakes?
 The soldier laughed. "He has not got a sou, and there are probably not three francs on the whole island. We play for shells. The prisoner gets his supper at in the evening-roast or ham and a bottle of beer. Soon after- ward he goes to bed. He is not al- lowed to have any light, you know. Only the guard at the door keeps up wood fire"
 Is he allowed to smoke?"
 No; that is l tlink he is not, for the commander does not furnish him tobacco"
 May II leave some cigars for him?''
 The soldier did not answer. I emp- tied my tobacco pouch and my cigar case on the table. I hope he got what I left for him.
