Condiments for Hoqs.

Condiments must be provided for the hogs at all times. These are not costly. They consist of wood ashes, soft coal broken into small bits, mor- tar, rotten wood or anything of that character Hogs eat these readily and they are great aids in keeping them in health and consequently in growing rapidly and fattening quickly. says Orange Judd Farmer. The ami. mals must have some salt. the same as other live stock on the farm. Of , course, every bit of swill, refuse, veg. etables used in the kitchen, etc., should be fed to the hogs.

The plan is brought out in the ac- companying illustration. Instead of using an extension of the frame or the front to keep wheel entirely clear of the box. our correspondent places the wheel at the further end and builds a protective cover on the inside of the box in which the wheel turns. The advantages are that the load is closer to the wheel and there Is less labor in moving load

 Goose liver at one dollar a pound sounds remunerative.

Three dealers handle the birds, which are shipped only on or der, but go to all parts of the country. The stuffed goose is not a market fowl, but is valued for its liver. which is used in making pate de foie gras, and reduced to la d is used as butter by those who can afford it; the skin is utilized by frying, and Is known as Jewish cracker" The liver may weigh from three to five pounds, and is worth dollar a pound. Price of the geese is averaged by their weight, say 26 to 32 pounds, the pound price following the weight

A sketch of an individual trough for feeding hogs is shown in our illustra- tion, taken from Prairie Farmer.

Don't Ovsrfeed.

Avoid the habit of keeping the horses manager filled with hay all the time. Overfeeding on hay Is quite lia. ble to cause heaves in horses. The trouble in the respiratory organs. says Farm Journal. is simply result of the disease in the digestive organs. A horse with the heaves is in very much the same condition as a person with dyspepsia. One of the most common causes is overlooking on coarse, over ripe, woody, indigestible hay. particu. larly clover hay.
 Chopped clover and sweet hay are excellent substitutes for green food and the poultry will relish 1t.

 A swill chute is built in the middle opening, as illustrated. The swill flows into the middle trough and then flows to each of the stalls as in any ordinary hog trough.
 This plan is satisfactory one for any farmer who wishes to bar off his hog trough so that each animal has an equal chance with every other one.

POULTRY NOTES.

Pullets that are forced to lay early seldom make good layers.
 Good sized combs generally denote an egg-laying breed of hens.
 Nest boxes should be so constructed that hens can not roost on them.
 In feeding meat and bone to poultry, the fresher it is when given them the better.
 A good preventive of roup is to seat. tor air-slacked lime around the poultry house.

FOR PROTECTION OF BEES.
How to Convert Ventilated Cover
 into a Chaff-Packed Cover.

The ventilated gable cover, having only three-eighth-inch board over the bees, with cold air passing through, is not warm enough in winter; the space between upper and lower boards also affords ideal homes for spiders which prey upon the bee. These objections can be easily overcome by filling in the space with chaff or other packing. When the covers are already nailed

There is no quicker way to trim grapevines than as follows: Procure a sharp knife 12 to 14 inches in length, and. poising it deftly in the hand. slash" it quickly through the cane to be removed. The action each time must be so sudden as to make a quick clean cut. The vine will barely move. It far exceeds, for speed, the use of the pruning shears.

had passed ten hours day at his lei

there were snakes in the vicinity. "NG

A Time When They Sold For $40 Each
In San Francisco.
In 1851 pineapples were rare in San
Francisco. One day in that year one
of the passengers who had crossed the
isthmus of Darien before leaving Pan
anna purchased from one Of the ma
tives of that place a dozen pineapples
for quarter of dollar. and when he
landed in San Francisco he had six
left. He was carrying these from the
landing place at the foot of Vallejo
street. where there were boat steps at
the end of twenty foot wharf. which
new arrivals approached by Whitehall
boats from the steamers that in those
days anchored In the stream 800 yards
from shore The man was accosted
suddenly by a stranger who asked
him what he wanted for that lot Of
pineapples."
"They are not for SALE
But want them" said the Cali
fornian.

rival. who on the voyage had heard
that San Francisco people were liberal
buyers. and he added. but they'll cost

then as a gold "ounce," worth SIG in

Before the new purchaser had NOV

transaction had taken place. he was
accostcd by an acquaintance. who ask
ed him to let him have the fruit. A

acquaintance paying $40 apiece for
them. Later in the day the first pur-
chaser was boasting of the rapid man
