We have heard of farmer down on
Whitley who has discovered a most
economical. simple mode of fattening
hogs. He has trough extending out
into hollow pool of water, which is
always kept full from a small stream.
The trough is so constructed that
when buttermilk is poured into it the
whole pool is discolored, and the IN
suspicious swine consumes it with APP
parent relish. 1t is recommended es-
pecially for market days. "-Waynes-
burg Messenger.

The virtues of that fashioned
and easily procured drink, butter
milk, have not been half sung. Ply
sicians say that its Tactic acid is even
more healthful than the citric acid of
oranges and lemons. 1t is credited,
too, by those who should know as be-
ing OF value to rheumatic patient.
1t has been found to be both nourish-
ing and fattening as we'll as remark
ably easy of assimilation. If liked at
all it is undoubtedly better drink
in summer than many of the carbo-
mated, artiticially favored drinks
that are consumed in almost unlimi-
ted quantities.
The age of eggs may be approx
mately judged by taking advantage
of the fact that as they grow old their
density decreases through evapora-
ton of moisture. According to Seibel
a new laid egg placed in vessel of
brine made in the proportion of two
ounces of salt to the pint of water,
will at once sink to the bottom. An
egg one day old will sink below the
surface, but not to the bottom, while
one three days old will swim just
immersed in the liquid If more than
three days old the egg will float on
the surface, the amount of shell ex-
posed being increased with age. If
two weeks old only a little of the
shell will dip in the liquid.
