Corn is universally used as food for
swine and doubtless in connection
with other grains is the best food for
fattening or finishing off. The fact
that the hog is grazing animal seems
to be lost sight of generally, although
IN the East where the farms are
small and growing smaller each wear,
farmers are beginning to see the ad-
vantage of pasturing hogs. In a GER
tain section of New JERSEY a large
area is devoted wholly to pasturing
hogs, the owner of the land making n
business of pasturing the hogs for
other farmers at small price per
head for the season. These hogs
have some concentrated food, mainly
bran and root foods. The owners
take the animals away in the early
fall and they are gradually fattened
and finished off for market The plan
seems to be profitable one to both
owners of pasture and hogs. Pas
turing hogs certainly places them in
the best possible condition to take ON
flesh rapidly when fed on concentrated
foods later in the season. The frame
on which to build has been made in
the pasture and it is strong; the di-
gostive powers are good aud it is al
most impossible, with due attention
to water and grit charcoal mainly
care and cleanliness to push such
hog to fat too fast. 1t is certainly as
senseless to expect the hog to thrive
solely on concentrated foods as the
horse or COW, yet that is the principal
too many farmers work on.

RENTS ITS ELECTRIC MOTORS.
Romunerative Experiment Conducted by
City of Bradford England.

City OF Bradford, England.
One obstacle to the more rapid adop-
ton of electric power, especially in
the case of small users everywhere. is
undoubtedly the want OF capital to
purchase the necessary motor; but
where the power 10 purchase exists the
buyer often has little or no experience
with electrical matters to guide him in
his purchase, and if his means are linz
tied he will naturally be tempted to
venture on a cheap line with probably
unsatisfactory results. A solution of
these difficulties, which has been APP
piled with excellent results at Brad
lord, England, is the purchase OF good,
reliable motors, and offering them for
hire by the owners of the electricity
supply undertakings, who, in this in
stance, are the municipality itself. Ac-
cording to figures prepared by Alfred
II. Gibbings, the city electrical engin-
Ger OF Bradford, they have found there
that rental charge OF 10 per cent
upon the initial cost of each motor was
amply sufficient to yield acceptable re-
turns, tbs charge being made up OF 3
per cent for interest, 3 per cent for
sinking Iund, and per cent for de
probation and contingent expenses
The Bradford corporation inaugu-
rated their scheme of hiring-in which.
ny the way,arC lamps also are included
on similar terms-in November. 1896,
and up to October of this year had sup
piled ninety-eight motors to consum-
ers. The increase in electricity sup
piled for motive power in 1886. with
only two months of the hire system in
force, over that supplied in 1895. was
a little over 10000 Board OF Trade
units; in 1897 the increased sale over
1896 was $4,000 units, and for 1898
the increase over 1897 will probably
be nearly $4,000 units, representing a
more than so per cent increase. These
hSures show very strikingly to what
extent the facilities offered by the
bradford corporation are appreciated
Hitherto the supply has been CON
lined to small-power uses. such as for
cranes, hoists, fans, pumping and sim
liar purposes. More recently. how
ever, applications for motor service
nave come from n large spinning and
weaving firm, several foundries where
blowers are TO be driven, a sawmilI re-
curing about twenty horse power. and
an engineering shop requiring about
nifty horsepower, all of which indi-
Gates growing and gratifying conf
dence in electric power.

The attractiveness of the window
garden depends, to a great extent, on
the arrangement of the plants in it
Study the material you have to work
with.
If one has many dropping plants.
very pleasing results can be obtained
by the use of swinging iron brackets
ut the sides OF the window. Some hold
but one pot, some three, and some four
and five. The four-pot ones are most
satisfactory for general use, as they
furnish place for one plant of up.
right growth at the back of the brack-
ct, and for three dropping plants in
front. This admits OF many very pleas

nishes means of making attractive
the upper portion of the window where
there is generally blank space, un-
less one has tall plants or vines arc
used to train up about the frame.
These brackets can be swung towards
the glass or away from it, and by their
use the necessity of moving plants on
frosty night is done away with.

good deal of trouble among plants at
this season, unless promptly aud vigor-
ously dealt with. This pest Of the

How 10 Buy ISccf.


Beef Is the least wasteful OF all
meats to cook, but there is such a sci.
ence in cutting it up that the butcher
can easily cheat the housewife while
seeming to give her extra measure for
her money. Both COW beef and OK
beef are on the market, and some can
not tell the difference. The cow beef
is always the most nourishing, and the
grain of it is closer and the color of q
brilliant red, with the fat white in
stead of yellow. III o1-beef is desired,
the suet should be dry and crumbly,
the lean firm and elastic, and marbled
regularly with yellow fat and bright,
carmine-red lean.
Inferior beef usually is distinguished
by hard skin, flesh coarse and horny,
and fat dark colored. Such beef
shrinks in cooking, and is always ex-
pensive even when sold at low price.
Poor beef, or beef of old animals, is
nearly always deficient in nourishment.
By keeping these points in mind one
can in a short time, with little close
observation, learn to distinguish good
from inferior beef, or cow-beef from
ox-beef, at a glance. The saving to
the table may seem indirect, but,it is
very important New York Voice.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To wa.,, Quilts.

Quilt washing is not hard task, il
done in the following manner: Fill a
boiler half full of water. Stir in
half pint Of soft soap Tor half bar
of hard soap shaved thin), and three
tablespoonfuls OF kerosene. Put in
one quilt, stirring frequently, to have
every part in &C intact with water. Let
boil fifteen minutes, and remove to
the tub. Put through the wringer af-
ter being thoroughly rinsed In cool
water. Rinse again in the same man
ner and hang on line. When the
quilt is dry, haste strips of worn cal
leo along on edges to keep clean where
they come against the face. Carpets
may be washed in the same manner as
quilts, also white clothes, very little
rubbing being necessary where kero-
sene and soap are used together.

same with the tongue. Brush off the

where current OF air can thoroughly
dry them. Banana skins make an ex-
cellent dressing and keep the leather
soft. They are especially nice for
cleaning enameled or patent leather.

greatly TO the appearance Of the shoe.
