Ashes for Swine.

Professor Henry says that hogs in
state of nature, roofing for feed
get what they need. but when con
fined in small lots, in pens, on floors,
conditions are unnatural, and mineral
elements must be supplied. 1t is
thought, also, that ashes and charcoal
act as a vermifuge and preventive Of
disease. Intestinal. worms may pro-
duce the craving for something that
Will destroy them. Soft coal is not
tie best.
Ashes and charcoal, with salt, seem
to produce best results. Bonemeal is
excellent. Ashes are particularly val
liable when feeding corn. A mixture
of charcoal and ashes, with a quart of
salt to the bushel is good Keep it
where the hogs have free access. They
will not eat too much. This is said
to prevent sows from eating their pigs,
to great extent II bonemeal is ad-
dod, it will be still better

CALL LAKE FREAK or NATURE.
Mysterious scay of Water In the
ST. E OF New YORK.

The brakeman on the Long IsSand
railroad was talking 60 two schoolboys.
Say, Kids, cid you know there's
lake down tho island where the sui
cides disappear and their bodies are
found in the Atlantic ocean? That's
a gospel fact. | lost friend there
once. We dragged for his body three
days, and some fishermen picked it
up near Oak Island beach, just out
side Fire island inlet Now, kids,
what do you think of that? Ask your
teacher. Maybe she can explain all
about it," Needless to remark, the
boys were much interested.
The lake referred to is Ronkonkoma,
a freak of nature, about 4S miles from
New York's city hail. and half way
between Stony Brook and Sayville
Strange are the traditions lowering
over this small body of water. The
Indians around Islip used to call it
Ron-konk-o-MA, but many of the pres
ent day Long Islanders say Ron-kon-
KO-ma. Old "residenters" tell that
the tide rises and falls there twice in
"a hours, sometimes six inches, at 9TH
er times, two feet, 1t is believed that
there is an underground connection
with Great South bay, leading to the
ocean by way of Fire Island inlet At
times, they will declare, the water is
salt, and at other times fresh.

BUILDING BY MACHINERY.

A recent Canadian invention. worked
by two men and boy, viii lay 200
to 500 bricks an hour. Door and win.
dow spaces cause only slight delay.
The machine is suited for all plain
work, such as walls. sheds, mills. fac.
tories, rows of cattages and piers or
bridges. Considerable pressure is nut
upon the bricks, and it is claimed that
the work is more firmly done than by
hand. The invention will do the work
of six or seven skilled bricklayers, and
it is believed that a machine adapted
to build factory covering 60 feet by
40 feet could be put on the market
for $500. }
