A GOOD TROUGH GUARD.

their share, I have a number Of
schemes and devices, but l consider
the one shown In the illustration to be
as good as, if not better than, any.
Then, too, it is SO simple that any
farmer with a hammer and saw, and
such loose pieces as may be found In
almost any scrap pile, can build sub
stantial affair that will suit.
The first requisite is goodsized,
well-constructed trough, built prefer
ably in V-shape as shown by "a." The
width of the side boards will depend
upon the size Of the hogs to be fed. A
small trough, with siX-inch side
boards, may be used for the wee pigs,
and twelve or sixteen-inch stuff for the
size Of pieces 'c'' and I'd" should de-
pend upon the weight Of the animals
and the strain likely to come on the
frame. For hogs Of ordinary weight
a piece two by four inches should be
used for the ridge-pole, &C." and pieces
one by three Or two by two inches for
the guard bars, I'd" These should be
securely nailed to the side Of the
trough, and If permanent trough in
the hog house, spiked to the floor to
prevent breaking off. The upright,
''e," firmly spiked to 3d." should be
amply stout to secure endwise rigid
ity.
For delivering slop to the trough, a
spout or small trough should be ar
ranged to enter at the end of the feed
trough. With this arrangement, when
the distance between the bars has been
properly adjusted to the size of the
animal, only one can get to the trough
between each space, and all sidewise
-crowding is effectually prevented

Meat Pie.

An old way of making English
meat pie is to take finely chopped
cold beef, put in deep baking dish
layer of the meat, stew lightly with
breadcrumbs, season highly with salt,
pepper, butter and a few drops Of
onion juice; repeat the process till the
dish is full or your meat used up.
Pour over it a cup Of stock or gravy,
or, lacking these, hot water with tea
spoonful of butter melted in it; on top
a good layer Of breadcrumbs should be
put and seasoned and dotted with but
ter. Cover and bake half an hour; re-
move the cover and brown.

Household Hints.

Ao"oNHoAu lIlAtSs
10 cool off hot oven set a pan Of
cold water in it.
Kitchen floors painted with boiled
Hnseed oil are very easily cleaned.
Bread boards should be scrubbed
with sand or salt to keep the wood a
good color.
Covers Of lard pals are useful to
put under pots and pans when the
stove is too hot.
To clean gas fixtures, rub them with
cut lemons, and then wash the juice
off with hot water.
II SCOT falls on the carpet cover it
thickly with dry salt Then sweep it
up quickly and it will leave no stain.
Use soapy water for making starch
The linen will have a glossier appear
ance, and the iron will not be so apt
to stick
The most satisfactory method of
sprinkling clothes is to use a good
whisk broom kept expressly for that
purpose.
To clean black cloth mix one part
Of spirits Of ammonia with three parts
Of hot water. Apply with a sponge,
and rinse off with clean water.
If, in covering a kitchen table with
oil cloth, layer Of brown paper is put
on first, it will prevent the oil cloth
cracking, and make it wear three
times as long.

A great deal depends on the point Of

led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the

FINDS WOMAN DIED OF POISON.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury Adds to Mys-
terry of Missouri Death.

Louisiana, Mo-, Feb. 5.-Mrs Lou
Norvell, who died mysteriously at her
home near this city last week, was found
by coroner's jury to have been poisoned
by some person unknown. The county
authorities are convinced that a murder
has been committed. Mrs. Norvell was
about so years of age and widow. She
lived ON a farm few miles from Clarks-
vile, with a son % years old January
% Mrs. Norvel's mother, Mrs. Dorcas
Elgin, was taken i'll after drinking whis-
ky kept in the house for medicinal pur-
poses, and the physician declared that
she had been poisoned by strychnine.
Last Thursday night Mrs. Norvell died
in commissions. Her death followed so
closely upon the heels of the mysterious
poisoning of Mrs. Elgin that it aroused
the suspicion Of the neighbors.

ARE AMERICANS POLITE?
London Press Casts Aspersions on Us as
Nation.

A discussion has been raging in the
London press On the question, docs
politeness pay?" Correspondents point
out that not only have the ancient court
ly ways fallen into disuse. but even the
commonest courtesy Of daily life is fast
becoming questionable. Perhaps the
most novel argument advanced was that
the American nation, "notoriously the
most impolite in the world" has man.
aged to forge to the front in business
and craftsmanship. and has thereby
demonstrated that pOliteness does not pay,
while Spain, with it's courteous grand
ness, and France, famous for politeness,
are not such noticeable examples Of sue
cess among the nations.
Apart from the discussion of the ques-
ton, which hardly deserves to be taken
seriously, the pungent criticism of the
American nation, furnishes food for re-
Election. Are we less polite than cur
neighbors? Outwardly, yes. 1t must be
admitted that most Of us have been too
busy settling a new country, and striv-
ing for bare existence to put the utmost
degree Of polish of which we are capable
upon our manners. In England the con-
ductor Of the omnibus says "Thank you,"
as he receives the fare In France, the
gendarme on the street corner is the
personifcation Of courtesy, as he an
swers the strangers inquiries. No such
examples of politeness are furnished by
public servants in this country. In the
native courtesy that springs from the
heart we yield to none, but our man
ners sometimes afford room for criticism.
But we are learning fast, and, really,
"most impolite in the world" is putting
it a little too strongly. Granting that
we are already first Gin business and
craftsmanship may we not hope some
day to attain equal precedence in cour-i
tesy and come to be known as the most
polite nation in the world ?"-Good
Housekeeping.

Deep or Light Flowing.

The whole matter resolves itself into
Il question of soil and climate. If a
soil is thin, then it is manifest that it
would be very foolish to dip the plow
into the raw subsoil and bring it to the
top, though perhaps subsoiling would
improve matters by helping the drain
ing and allowing the roots to pene-
trate downward more easily. Again,
in the matter Of climate; in a dry dis
trict shallow blowing nearly always
gives the best results-with a grain
crop, at least Often the best wheat
has been grown where the surface
was disked to clean off the rubbish,
and the seed drilled in down to the
hard, unmOyed soil. The reason Of
this Is that in dry district the plant
has to depend largely on the ground
moisture, which rises by capillary &C
ton much better through firm soil than
through loose plowei land. Where
bare following Is practced on stiff
clays, then the shallow system is the
best, for it means ever so much less
soil to move per acre where there are
repeated ploWings, civilizations, etc,
to be done On the whole, probably
shallow blowing, combined with an &C.

Barley as Feed for Horses.

Except on the Pacific coast barley
Is not extensively used as feed in the
United States, doubtless owing to the
fact that it is in such demand for
brewing purposes that it is high in
price. Wherever it is grown, however,
it is frequently possible to secure at a
low cost grain which is off color owing
to rain or fog during harvest and
which for this or some other reason is
unfit for brewing, but valuable as feed.
The barley grown on the Pacific coast
is extensively used In the feeding of
horses. It's use for this purpose is old
in other countries. The Arabs fed their
horses unground barley, and it is used
successfully by the Berbers Of north
Africa. In Europe its value is gener-
ally recognized. Barley may be fed
whole to horses having good teeth and
not required to do severe work. Since
ground barley, like wheat, forms a
Ipasty mass when mixed with saliva, it
is regarded as more satisfactory to
crush than to grind 1t If for any rea-
son it is considered undesirable to feed
the grain whole.
