SALT AND ASHES FOR PIGS.

1t Is advisable to keep salt and ashes
where pigs can have ready access 10
them. After pigs begin to eat grain
they will visit the ashes and salt after
every feed or oftener. We find IT profit
able to keep the mixture in a self feed
err into which a bucketful of the mix
ture can be kept dry and from which
the pigs can get 1t from an opening at
the bottom. BY this arrangement there
is a saving of labor and the pigs v
get so hungry for IL is as to eat too
much, as In the case when salt n
ashes are given occasionally.
Professor Henry corroborated the
wisdom Of this practice by a very sat
isfactory test. Pigs fed cornmeal with
salt and water got very fat In a short
time, but soon failed to improve. Pigs
fed cornmeal, hardwood ashes, salt n
water, did better, made better growth
of bone. The pigs having ashes made
better bone and better gain. He also
showed that In the absence of ashes we
may profitably feed ground bone. Corn
alone may be used a few weeks to
fatten a pig, but 1t is so far from a
balanced ration that the growth is alb
normal and IT Is Improbable to at
tempt to grow pigs on corn alone.
There are many good rations for pigs
none better than corn, middlings or
milk and grass or clover. The man
who cannot make good pigs and whole
sale meat with these is not a born feed
er.
The practice of feeding salt and ashes
has been followed by breeders I'm the
Miami valley for half a century to
my personal knowledge. Here corn has
been the bulk OF the feed with the
addition OF slop made from middlings
and ground oats n iaxseed meal
with what milk the family had to spare.
AS dairying has not been extensively
practiced pigs have a a slop of mid
dlfngs and water instead. No good
breeder or farmer Of this region at
tempted TO grow breeding stock with
out a daily run of pigs n brood sows
on blu grass or clover pasture, yet
even with the grazing and the variety
of grain. with corr as the chief, II
has been found that pigs regularly fed
salt and ashes with charcoal therein
made better growth OF frame and were
less troubled with worms. The practice

was not so high as Ii is now, and, to-

%sequently there were no cases neces-
stating the absence Of officers from
their families, as in the case at present.
Service in foreign countries has in
creased their expenses considerably.
An officer going to the Philippines and
leaving his family behind him has TO

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Somebody has suggested the obser-
walton In the schools Of the country OF
n Seed Grain day to be held on April
4. south OF the latitude Of ST. Louis,
and on April II, north Of that latitude
or as near 10 these dates as practical
Tho idea Is for the children to test at
once selected seed grain. and TO report
the result on seed grain day" The
grain is tested in the following man
ner:
Take two dinner plates and two
pieces Of thick cloth or blotting paper,
the size OF the inner part OF the plate.
Wet these thoroughly and drain Of the
extra water Put one piece Of cloth ON
the plate and scatter the grain over II
evenly and cover with the second cloth.
Turn the oihf" plate over II TO prevent
evaporation and set TN warm place.
Examine frequently and II It grows dry
add a little water. After six or eight
days remove the cloths and determine
the percentage of termination. To test
kernels from several ears Of corn IN
the same plate mark on the blottlng
paper into squares and number each
one to correspond with the ear from
which the kernels are taken"
1t Is also suggested that, on the day
set apart as grain day" the children
bring TO school sample ears, or kernels
Of corn, and that these be studied 50

that the children become familiar with
their good and bad points, and TO cree
ate further interest IN the subject, II
Is suggeted that harvest feast be
also held In every school. with the dis
tributIon OF rewards FOR the best speci-
mems OF grain raised. The state OF
Colorado. We are told, gives $500 in
special prizes. Minnesota like amount,
other states are officially promoting the
idea In various ways. and the children
may compete With the grown-ups in the
contest to add millions to grain grow
ers profits,
The suggestion seems good to us.
Anything to awaken In the children an
interest In what Washington called the
manly art OF agriculture, deserves
encouragement Too many OF our
young people get ambition for the pro-
lessious. The necessary education and
training for life CLOSE to the earth"
Is sadly neglected.

principle that governs In the entire dis

RATE REGULATION IN FRANCE.

The railroad rate question seems to
nave been solved satisfactorily in
France. There all railroads are sub
ject, to certain extent. to govern
ment supervision. This is vested in
inspector generals with headquarters
IN Paris and with seats In the coun-
ellis, or committees established by the
minister OF public works. These Of
ficials have full access to all books,
Papers and reports Of the various rail-
way companies, and may, in addition
call for any necessary Information
No rates Of any kind can be imposed
by French railroad without author
ization from the minister Of public
works. The companies must before
applying any tariff or rate, show up
n list or schedule OF the prices they
propose To charge for the transport
of passengers, cattle, merchandise,
etc Copies Of this schedule are for
warded to the minister. the project
OF the department through which the
road Is to pass, and to the control SER
vice. The schedule Of necessary eX-
penses such as those OF loading, un-
loading, storage of goods and ware
housing, as well as OF all other rates
determined annually, must be submit
ted to the government In the month
Of October in each year. and these
schedules are, when approved, posted
prominently in stations for public in
formation.
These regulations seem to work 10
the satisfaction Of both the roads and
the public. But French and Ameri-
can methods are different, In railway
as well as many other affairs.

THE LANGUAGE PROBLEM.

A gentleman OF North Tarrytown, N.
Y, Is OF the opinion that the general
adoption Of an artificial, universal Ian
guage is merely a question Of money. In
leanet he calculates that for five
billion dollars. the object could be ac.
complshed. The cost would cover the
making Of the language free text
books, literature, salaries for teachers,
bounties for scholars, free libraries,
etc. m" says the author OF the leaf
let, the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Russia would
each give billion Of dollars, the great
problem would be solved, But II n
great agitation were aroused, many
other countries would give considerable.
so that no nation would need to devote
more than half billion, and this would
be distributed over a number Of years,
so that 1t would not be burdensome."
II is hardly necessary to discuss such
a proposition. No country is going TO
appropriate q billion dollars. or even
half billion, for the creation Of n new
language, as long as the need of II IS
not felt more generally than is the case

thusiasts are really crossing the river

would be gained through AN agitation
in favor Of the practical study In every
common school throughout the civilized
world. of a couple OF foreign languages,
or more, as could be agreed on at an
international conference OF educators
and business men. by that means the
problem OF an international language
would socr be solved. And 1t would be
entirely practical To solve It that way.
1t is not much OF trick to learn
enough Of a foreign language to speak
little Of IT, and understand It when
spoken. The thorough mastery of a
language Is another thing altogether,
But the acquisition of a limited Vocab-
