A hog is hog frequently because he
is given no opportunity to be cleanly
and decent. There are farmers who
believe a hog would die if not allowed
to wallow in mud and filth, while 9th
ers are of the opinion that the hog
should have plenty of clean water. The
hog needs a great deal of water in hot
will take mud as the next best thing.
\ hog rushes to a mudhole to cool
off. He comes out and the mud dries
Cn his skin. The next mud bath he
takes adds another layer to that al
ready dried on, and in Il short time
the pores of his skin are completely
clogge1 with mud. Now. a hog cannot
thrive with his pores all clOgged up
any better than a man. If a hog has
access to a deep pool of water, as he
should in hot wea ather, he will keep
clean and thrive much more than If
he lies around in Il mudhole made
filthy by continued use. Most farmers
who supply a bathing place for their
hogs make them so shallow that they
are soon converted into mudhOles. On
our farm we usually keep from thirty
to fifty pigs, and they have a pool OF
water fed by a stream, and it is deep
enough for them to swim in. The
sides are dug down sharply, and were
laid with cobblestOneS for distance
of four or five feet from the waters
edge. The pool was always clean; we
never have trouble with mango or lice.
and when on two occasions cholera
swept through the country our hogs
were not affected. The hogs never
used the pool unless the weather was
extremely hot

uy,sb for Nursery stock.

Dining nursery stock in lime-sul-
,bur wash or other insecticides has re-
,entIv been much advocated as sub
stitute for fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas. The station at Geneva. n. Y,
finds however. that this treatment If
used at all. must be handled with care
IN secure scale destruction without in
turing the trees. With the sulphur
wash. exposure of the trees for too
long A time or at too high Temperature
resulted in injury; while with any of
the materials used, exposure of the
roots to the mixture resulted in serious
injury TO the stock. For nurserymen
the station still recommends fumigation
as most effective and least liable to
iniurv. and would advise orchardists

The chief difference between the av-
on cell, viewed from the standpoint Of
social psychology, is that one is locked
on the inside to keep outsiders out,
while the other is locked on the out
side to keep insiders in. The occu-
pant Of the hotel cell is afraid that
something will be done to him or that
something will be taken from him by
some one who ought to be In prison
cell. That is the theory of it.
Lock your door and leave your val
uables at the Office" cautions the oblig
ing innkeeper IF you had valuables
you wouldn't be here" observes the
witty prison keeper. That is to say.
the question of valuables seems to en-
ter largely into the matter.
1t would be great to have a civi-
lization which considered valuable only
those things which could not be stol
en-, such as mental and moral equip
ment skill and goodfellOwshlp. Then
we could be little more sociabe. We
could talk to each other without but
toning our coats or feeling for our dia
mOnd studs every few minutes. Then
the man who willingly secluded him
self in stuffy hotel cell could be lock-
ed in and made to stay there. on the
ground that something terrible was
the matter with him.-Success Maya

UNCLE JOsHUA'S FLIES.
Occasion for Aunt ElixR's statement
of Matrimonial Philosophy.

Occasion for Aunt ElixR's Statement
of Matrimonial Philosophy.
Uncle Joshua was catching flies. Un-
Gle Joshuas method of catching hles
was to stalk them one by one, follow
ing them about the room with a stealthy
shuttle and bringing his big hand down
with ponderous slap, which nine flies
out of ten easily evaded. 1t must be
confessed that If fly was caught, 1t
proved fatal.
Betty, watching Aunt Eliza beat up
a pan Of gingerbread In the Kitchen.
listened to the shuttle and thump ana
muttered exclamations till it got upon
her nerves. Aunt ELIAS face, over the
gingerbread was full of placid con-
tent. Finally Betty could stand 1T no
longer.
Aunt Eliza" she asked, doesn't 1t
drive you wild to hear Uncle Joshua
catch fiies?" ,.
Aunt Eliza laughed. BLESS you, no,
child. 1t don't hurt the flies any. by
and by, when l get round to it, I'll
drive them out. There amt moreh
half a dozen in there, ever. but he
likes to think he's clearing them out.
But he thumps So" Betty answer
ed, laughing, and yet persistent.
Aunt Eliza glanced at Betty's left
hand, and her wise eyes became grave.
There was a time once she said
slowly, when Joshua's chasing flies
nearly drove me wild. 1t was the sec
ond year we were married. If we'd
discovered nerves in those days, | sup
pose I'd have said it got on my nerves,
and gone off to rest-cure or some
thing. AS we hadn't, | fought it out
myself.
Joshua was real kind and thought
full and generous provider-in all the
big things, | knew he was man in
hundred. And he was patient too, over
my quick speeches.
Then l thought about the other
men I knew. Eli Potter used to sit
with his feet in the oyen-l couldn't
have stood that, anyway. And Jacob
Jarvis was the worst hand for tracking
in mud you ever saw, and JOINT Kill
grove never would wear a collar, even
to church-and so 1t went. 1t seemed
as If every man had to let off steam
somewhere and when | thought 1t all
over, l concluded that lies were about
the best Of the lot; they don't last
more'n three months, anyway.
$50 after that when Joshua chased
flies, I'd 60 and do something | spe'
cially liked to do till twas over, and
presently it got so | didn't mind 1t
bit. Mercy sakes, child, the best man
that ever lived will have some little
way or other that you'll have to get
around. The secret is in seeing how
little it is beside his love"

AppIying Lime TO the Soil.

As a rule all compact clay soils may
be greatly benefited by the application
OF one ton of lime per acre. just after
breaking up, either in fall or spring,
and thoroughly mixed with the earth.
Lime should not be applied with ma
nure of any kind, but the latter (ma-
nure) may be applied as a top dress
ing and worked in by cultivation Of
the crop. One application of lime
every five years is usually sufficient

Rev. D. c. Faris read from copy of
an old session book belonging to Barnet
Reformed Presbyterian congregation
during the pastorate of Rev. James Mil
ligan, which lasted from 1S21-3S. In
this was recorded that at the Harvey
meeting house on June II, 1884, John
Nolan and Catherine, his wife, were
received into the membership of the
church from the Relief church of Scot
land. He also read other interesting
items regarding the sons of this oldest
Nolan family in America, showing that
they had all stood together in the old
church. A former speaker had referred
to the religion of his ancestors as being
useful once but that it was too narrow
for these times. Mr.. Faris explained
how the principles OF truth and loyalty
that these our Scottish ancestors had
held and handed down to this generation
were the broadest principles that any
church claimed to hold, for they aimed
at the universal dominion of Jesus
Christ over all the earth. In closing he
hoped that every one of their descendants
would so live that they would be worthy

worthy of the name by his wit and logic.
AS he spoke his words matched his tall
broad-shouldered physique and seemed
far from being "too narrow for these
times"
Pliny Nolan gave very fine cornet
solo, and the orchestra, who had enliv.
ened the exercises by frequent selections,
played Home Sweet Home" in closing.
Thanks were expressed to the ladies
for the excellent dinner, and to the host
and hostess, who with their family, had
done so much to make the day pleasant.
A business meeting followed, when it
was decided that the next reunion be
held at Fairview, the home of William
T. McLam. Good byes were said and
the company dispersed in hopes to
