the longer life and better health of

atoned for the outlay required for the

that the damage is inconsiderable. The

FEEDING A SKELETON.
An Old Scotch story from which
scores of American Farmers Can
Draw q Lesson.

A story is told of Scotch physician
who was in search of boy with suf-
ficient nerve to assist him when diff
cult surgical operations were on hand.
The doctor, by the way, was ven
triloquist, and he hit upon the follow
ing plan to enable him to secure the
boy he was looking for: Each candi-
date was set to work to feed Cruel to
u skeleton which stood in an adjacent
room. No sooner had the boy got te
work than the doctor would call out
in sepulchral tones: more, give me
more" The voice sounded to the boy
as though it came from the skeleton.
number of those first tried. as soon
as they heard the sepulchral tones,
dropped the bowl Of Cruel and ran.
At length boy was found who con-
tinaed to feed the cruel, notwithstand-
ing the repeated cries of the skeleton
for more. When the Cruel was all fed
he struck the skeleton on the side of
the head with the spoon, saying as he
did SO: "My, Bony, but you are hard
to satisfy" This boy got the posi-
ton.
We laugh at the idea of feeding a
skeleton. but are not some persons
engaged in just about as profitable a
business? They feed live stock all the
winter. that is to say, young and
growing stock. The animals go out
in the spring just about us they went
into the yard in the fall. The chief
difference is that they have a little
more bone and hair in the spring and
little less flesh. Sometimes they
have considerably less in the spring
than in the fall. Those persons have
been about as profitably employed as
the boy who was feeding the skeleton,
and the food fed to those animals &C.
complished about as much for those
who fed them as the food fed TO the
skeleton accomplished for the owner
of the same. So 1t is with all growing
animals. The food fed to them is
wasted when they make no growth

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
Legs of the Hog Perform the Func-
tion of Discharge Pipes for All
sorts of Waste Matter.

The hogs legs perform a function
not known to any other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge of waste matter or sweat
not used in the economy of the body.
These escape pipes are situated upon
the inside of the legs, above and below
the knees in the fore lgs and above
the gamble joints in the hind legs, but
in the latter they are very small, and
the functions are light. Upon the in
side of the fore legs tn v are always
active, so that moisture is always
there about and below these orifices
: or ducts in the healthy hog. The holes
in the legs and breathing in the hog
are his principal and only means of
ejecting an excess Cf heat above nor
NAL, and when very warm the hog
will open the mouth and breathe
through that channel as well as the
nostrils.
The horse can perspire through all
the pores OF it's body, same as a man,
and cattle do the same to limited ex-
tent, but the hog never. His escape
valves are confined to the orifces upon
the inside of his legs. People often
wonder why it is that the hog dies SO
suddenly when he runs rapidly or
takes quick and violent exercise by
fighting. But when you consider the
few escape pipes, their small capacity
and remoteness from the cavity where
the heat is generated, the wonder is
that he does not die quickly when over
heated.-American Swineherd.

Di.posi.x Of Dead Animals.

The bodies of dead animals are con-
verted into fertilizer by some farmers,
but something depends upon circum-
stances as to the advisability of SO do
ing. If an animal dies of some con-
tagious disease and is buried the
earthworms win bring to the surface
the germs of the disease. This fact
was demonstrated by Pasteur, the ia.
nous French chemist. who made t,ssts
In that direction. Disease was CON-
municated to animals that ate grass
which grew over the body of buried
animal. The better plan is to consume
the bodies of diseased animals, or sub
ject, them to bath of sulphuric acid
after death, in order to destroy the
germs of disease.

There is great difference of opin-

pigs should be allowed to remain with
their dams. II we only desire to raise
one litter year they may be allowed
to remain with their dam until they
are about ten weeks old. but II two lit
ters are to be raised, it will be neces-
sary to wean them when six or eight
weeks old. We may also be guided
largely by the way the young pigs are
thriving. II the milk of the dam does
not agree with them IL may be wise to
wean them early, but IL they are doing
well it is better to let them remain
with the dam some eight or ten weeks.
