Length of Hogs Intestines. =

Darwin states that the nature Of the
food supplied the pig by man has evil
IDENTIFY changed the length of the intes-
tines. He quotes Cuvier as reporting
the total length Of the intestines Of the
wild boar to be nine times the body
length; in the domestic boar 1875 to
one; in the Siam boar, sixteen to one.
The writer measured the intestines of
thirty-nine fattened hogs and found
that the large intestine varied from
thirteen to sixteen feet, and the small
intestine from fifty-four to sixty feet in
length. The average extreme body
length Of these animals was 35 feet.
This makes the small intestine alone
from sixteen to nineteen times the
length Of the body, and the large and
small intestine combined about twenty
one times the body length. From these
figures it appears that the intestines Of
pigs of the improved breeds are longer
in proportion to the body than those
given by Cuvier. This may indicate
that the modern pig can digest his food
more thoroughly than his ancestors.
and also that he can eat larger guam.

NATURE A SAFE GUIDE.

Natures mode of manuring and pre-.
serving fertility of soil is by spreading
nearly everything on the surface. and
Nature in most cases is a safe guide.
Leaves in forests, and grass and weeds
of prairies and fields are deposited on
the surface from year to year, pre-
serving fertility and causing giant
trees to grow. Besides, plentiful mulch
ing preserves nitrogen and moisture
about the plants, as well as securing
from the bad effects Of too much sun
heat; and in winter secures crops from
much injury by freezing and leaving
out, or being blown there, by spring
winds, as the fine manure falls into the
cracks of the soil and nourishes the
roots. Careful experiments and close
observation everywhere show that lib.
eral top dressing, surface manuring on
most crops-winter grains, meadows
and some spring crops-is the best
mode of applying manures.

Scrap Collecting as q Fad i.

"Scrap- collecting" is the latest occu.
patton adopted by the intelligently idle,
says the London Graphic. A particu-
lar house, street, district, regi.
ment, period, and many other sub
jects, are used as pegs for the purpose.
One takes the Grenadier Guards, for
instance, and will collect illustrations
of the uniform from the formation of
the regiment, as also all prints and
curious cuttings connected with the
latter. Or well-known country house
Is illustrated in the same manner.
Three volumes Of scraps and cuttings
relating to Piccadilly have been formed
by an industrious woman in as many
years, and the subject is not yet eX.
hausted. 1t is said, and truly. that this
new occupation provides continual in.
terest for those who take to 1t, and en-
ables them to carry their PURSUIT from
town to town. for 1t is possible to pick
up scraps Of the kind even In the dull
est places. Occasionally scarce and
valuable prints are discovered, and
well collected and arranged book Of this
sort can generally be sold at profit.

WISE WORDS.

They who play with life now will
pay for 1t then.
Never trust the man who will not
trust another.
The more noise a lamp makes the
less light it gives.
No man with broad heart can lead
a little life.
Wise benevolence is always good
business.
Fatherhood is an essential factor in
fraternity.
The man who thinks he Is smart will
surely smart for his thinking.
The indolent know nothing Of rest.
Innocence is negative; perfection
positive.
Principles mark the steps of mans
progress.
Old seeds must be broken before new
life can begin.
The SANDER we cause is the only kind
that clings to us.
There is no opportunity to read the
proofs of life.
Reforms are ripe as soon as they are
right.
The most serious problem in society
is that Of self.
The most damaging success is that
of succeeding the first time.
1t is a good deal easier to curse an
other mans sin than to curse our own.

The Wily Little jap,

We have been spouting these 10
years about the cleverness of the Jap
anese. Our smart Alexis went into
Mysteries over them. Our merchants
have gone to extremes in soliciting
iJ~P~~~sc trade, aud sroat insur
ance companies have sent agents
broadcast over the islands of the Land
OF the Rising Sun to write policies. In
no other country on the globe is the
work of the insurance solicitor SO
easy. In one month $10,OOO,O0O of life
insurance has been placed by one New
York company. Every measly little
dwarf of Jap wants to insure. An
agent has just discovered that in med
ical examinations he has been badly
duped, one healthy Jap standing the
test for many hundreds of his fellow
countrymen. AS all laps look alike,
the doctors did not detect the fraud
until about $5,000,O0O in policies had
been written. Local insurance men are
exercised about it.--New York Press.

SHALLOW CULTIVATION.

1t has been demonstrated beyond
question that shallow cultivation Of
the soil during the summer gives good
results, serving, as it does, to retain
the moisture in the soil. Attention
is called, however, to the fact that
oftentimes the methods Of soil cult
walton are wrong. The general prac.
tlce Is to cultivate growing crops deep
ly early in the season reserving the
shallow cultivation until midsummer.
1t is now believed that this plan is
wrong OH the principle that as 1t Is
desired to warm the soil early in the
season the shallow cultivation will &C.
complish that, while the deeply cul.
tivated soil should be later when it
is desired to keep it cold and to con,
serve the moisture in it. Then, again,
the weeds are more readily killed by
shallow cultivation than by deep Gull
tiyation, and, Of course, the weeds
should be destroyed before they get a
good start. These who have cult
waited along the old lines will do well
to try the newer method here sug.
gested.

NESTS FOR LAYING HENS.

ANAIA'A ~ Wv LIZA AN>S AAAIA>Ss
The experienced poultryman has his
houses so arranged that there is nc
lack of space for every comfort de.
signed for the fowls. Especially does
he look out for good arrangement Of
the nests, placing them where they are
most easy Of access for both himself
and the hens. The farmer, on the
other hand, is inclined to permit the
hens to lay anywhere that suits them,
and, as result, he is afflicted with
hens with desire to brood nearly al.
summer. When he collects the eggs
he frequently misses nests that have
been carefully slowed away in some
dark corner, and when he does find
1t he finds either setting hen or a lot
of spoiled eggs. Laying hens are quite
given to liking nests that are clean and
quiet, and If such nests are supplied
there will be no trouble in securing
every egg soon after 1t is laid, and at
the smallest possible expense of time.
At this season of the year unusual care
must be taken that the nests are clean
and free from lice, particularly If there
are many young chicks about that
would come in contact with the Older
hens. A cool nest may be made by
filling in the bottom Of the box with
dry sand, and covering this sand an
inch thick with clean straw, changing
the straw every ten days and the sand
once a month. Once a week good
sprinkling Of some insect powder
through the nest will do much to keep
down the vermin.

EXPAND YOUR CHEST.


A girls chest Is coming to seem nl-
most more important to her than the
complexion upon which. as a rule, she
has spent SO much time and thought.
10 increase the chest measurement
and to raise the chest so as to pro-
duce the full chested appearance in
vogue is the ambition of every girl
who is not already full-chested. TO
increase the chest measurement-and
every inch added to the chest means
more vitallty-place pipestem in the
mouth. Breathe out through 1t until
the lungs are completely empty. Then
inhale until the lungs are packed full
of air. This Is a simple exercise, but
excellent In performing do not
breathe with the abdomen, but use
the lower chest. Even when not usisg
the pipestem try to breathe deeply
Make both the eXhalations and the in
halations little slower and longer
than usual. Deep breathing has a
close bearing on the nerves. The au-
thor Of famous work on nervous ten

GREEN GLOVER HAY.

Some farmers have followed the prac.
tice of putting up clover hay green
for the past five years, with universal
success. The clover is usually cut
down in the evening, allowed to wilt
the next morning. and stored in the
NOW in the afternoon. This process
prevents the loss of leaves after the
ordinary process of curing, and places
the hay in the very best possible con-
dition for future use. When this hay
is taken out of the NOV, it comes as
fresh and green as the day 1t was put
in, without any dust Of mould. The
only precaution that seems necessary
is to keep the now as tightly closed
rs possible for few days after the
hay has been stored in the barn, and
until the heat from the processes Of
fermentation has disappeared. There
have been some cases Of spontaneous
combustion reported, but these are
usually the result Of storing partially
green hay in stacks, rather than the
green hay directly from the field.-A.
