Conatmct your trough* for feed ng hogs, aay* the Lise Stock Register, of Kausar City, ao that each hog cannot appropriate more than a foot to himaelf. Ilave divisions by meant of small fenced yard* so arranged that at least three sizes of pigs can slip under and be divided into three grades and each have a trough to eat from. Now, by pouring ■will into the troughs for the small pigs they will crowd into their pen first and be out of the way of the older ones, safe, eating. Then take the second grade, and they will all be on an equality and out of the way of the still larger ones. In this manner a feeder can regulate the feed and grade hia hogs in eating, and manage a large number and have each get a proper share of food, and not get hurt. Do not undertake to raise your hogs on grass alone. They need at least one ear of corn per dayj to give them heart and to neutralize the acid arising from eating the grass. A full supply of ashes and salt ahould be kept in reach all the time. Charcoal is a great neutral izer of acids. Burnt cobs are good. Remember that clover is full of acid, and a sour stomach soon leads to disease. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” in this case. Care of aw Orchard. W. A. London says it the Rural Mes senger : I find that lime, wood ashes, and old iron put around the roots of de clining trees, have a very beneficial ef fect. These fertilizers restore the trees to a healthy condition, and also greatly improve tha fruit in quantity. I made the application early last Spring as an ex periment on a Wincsap and Ncverfail; about half a bushel mixed lime and ashes to each, and dug it in with a hoe some six feet around the trunk, and put the old iron immediately around the base of each. The trees put forth with renewed vigor, bloomed abundantly, and yielded a good crop of fruit. An excellent wash for trees may be made thus : Heat an ounce of salsoda to redness in an iron pot, and dissolve it in one gallon of water, and while warm apply it on the trunk. After one application the moss and old bark will drop off, and the trunk will be quite smooth. This wash has quite re cuperative properties, making old trees bear anew. I have tried soft soap as a wash with good results, and also a coat ing of lime in the Spring season, which is a fine specific for old trees. The ques tion is often asked if it is best to manure trees in the Fall or Spring. I have found the Summer season to be a good time; \ave great faith in mulching, es pecially young trees, for several reasons, after they are planted. Apple trees have two growths during the season— the secondary growth takes place after mld-Summer; hence it is that a topdress ing of manure and also coarse litter, fa cilitates the late growth, and often pro duces very marked results in the habit and formation of the tree. The good effect that mulching has to young trees is that it wards off the intense heat of the sun from the tender roots, and also has a tendency to hold moisture. A good topdressing of stable manure in the Fall around young trees, with a good many corncobs cast over the surface of the soil, gives satisfactory results. HI liking Cows. In speaking upon this subject the Pitts burg Stockman says: Milking is nothing short of a fine art, and the farm hand who knows how to milk properly is more valuable to the careful dairyman than any other help. Some can milk a dozeu cows while others would milk half that number, but the careful manager is not so anxious for fast help as he is to employ those who are careful. The operation should never be hurried, but the milk should be drawn steadily as it flows. S:>me cows have tender teats and udders, nnd the rapid milker forgets this in his effort to make speed. A cow that is naturally impatient and fretful docs not like to sub mit to rough handling, and her disposi tion is soon ruined by such treatment. As the udder becomes distended with milk the cow readily submits to milking for the relief it brings. The constant practice of being milked at stated inter vals impresses itself strongly upon her, and she will seldom resist without cause. If a cow that has been patient at milk ing becomes fractious the fault can al ways be traced to the milker. Tiic care less dairyman is the one who complains of his cjws to keep up the flow, and bloody milk, garget and other evils are almost always the result of his own mis management. Another point demanding attention is allowing cows to stand a long time waiting to be milked, With cows that milk large it is painful when ' the udders arc filled to the utmost and the milker is not on hand to relievo them, ami they become nervous and rest leas. This causes a cow to dry up pre maturely because nature revolts at her stiff ring. The cow should also be milked to th ■ last drop; if the last |>or lion of tile milk, as Maimed, is the- best, the udder should lie left with nothing in it. With re u! oily in feeding, milk ng and caring for the cows, and kind treat ment at all times, the cow will not only become gentle and stay so, but will g re milk longer uiul her season's product will be much larger. If a cow begin* to give trouble in milking proper attention in handling and management will moatly cure the evil. ■ arm *ml Wards* ■•*>*, Regulate the feed of your horses to goMeap- ml with the amount of work they are requ r* and to do, Itust melon vine* with Paris green or London purple to kep off the bug, (lust with oue pa t of the powder to twenty. § ports ef fiotftf. Watch for the currant worm, and n* soon as the leave* appear ragged apply white hellebore—a tables poo :iful to a pail of water—by means of a syr.ngc. Repeat in about u week. When two or three different kinds of grasses are sown together for pasture, many vacant spaces may be filled up, as each particular variety will find the kind of soil best adapted to its vigorous growth, the consequence being that the sod will be the thicker. The problem of farming consists in mak ing the soil increasingly fertile. Manure la the farmer’s saving bank, and if more of them had large heaps of it every spring to spread upon their land, instead of money at interest, they would prosper better in the end. Soiling crops demand the very richest ground. It will not pay to cut and gather a poor crop to be carried to the bam and fed while green. If the land is not rich enough to produce a maximum crop, let stock gather herbage for them selves until enough land can be got into suitabh condition. Barnyard manure may be imitated by thoroughly composting with a cord of seasoned meadow muck, or some substi tute, sixty-five pounds of crude nitrate of soda, two bushels of wood ashes, one peck of common salt, ten pounds of fine bene meal, two quarts of plaster, and ten pounds of Epsom salts. The best ground for a peach orchard is a light, sandy soil that has been planted for several years with general crops. Do not plant on ground rich enough to pro duce onions, peas, spinach or lettuce, for trees will be liable to make a late autumnal growth, and produce unripe wood that will be winter-kil.ed. Profitable bee-keeping greatly depends upon a gathering up of the fragments, that nothing be lost. Fragments of time can be used in caring for bees, fragments of lumber in making hives and frames, fragments of comb for wax; and every drop of honey is useful; even though mixed with dirt, it can be fed to needy colonics. The work of caring for beans comes just at the busiest harvest season, and this crop is therefore apt to be neglected. If delayed till after harvest it is too late, and the vine cannot be disturbed with out injury. Yet the work in hoeing beans, if done at the right time, saves an equal amount of labor when they come to be harvested, besides the advantage to the crop. The soils best adapted for the potato are sandy and gravelly loams. Ciay soils, especially if the season be wet, produce poor potatoes, with a tendency to rot. An old pasture turned over or any sod ground, is well fitted for potato growth. A little well-rotted compost harrowed in thoroughly upon such sod will usually give a fair crop even upon poorish soil. Fresh stable manure should not be applied, as it results in a di minished yield and increases tendency to rot. ousehold Hints. Oil of ia< uder will drive away flies. Grained wood should be washed with cold tea. If meat bakes too fast cover with but tered paper. To remove tea stains from cups and saucers, scour with ashes. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor it night destroys cockroaches. They cat at and are poisoned. To prevent lampwicks from smoking they should be soaked in vinegar and then thoroughly dried. Cold sliced potatoes fry and taete bet ter by sprinkling a tablespoonful of flour over them while frying. Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where ants congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is also good for mice.

Tomato Soup without Meat. One quart of stewed tomatoes, one quart of milk, one rolled cracker, one tcaspoonful of soda, a small bit of butter and a little salt. When tomatoes arc sufficiently cooked odd the soda, then the cracker, butter and salt.

The Senola (Ga.) Sentinel says that a man in Campbell county had thirty-six boys old enough to fight in the last war, and twenty-three of them were killed. He has been married nine times. Belmont was erected in 1754 in what is now called Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. It was a favorite resort of Washington, Lafayette, Franklin, Jefferson, Talley rand, Louis Phillippe and other men known to fame. To kill infants was thought an abom inable sin by the ancient Teutons, but among the Romans and many other na tions it was quite a common practice, nnd bardly blnmakle to kill them, especially girl*. In a Chinese villago, during a time of drouth, a missionary saw a row of idols put in the hottest and dustiest part of the road. He inquired the reason, and the natives answered: “Wo pray our gods to send us rain, and they won’t; so "e ve put them out to see how they like the heat and dryness.” In order to enforce some kind of regu larity in barbers' shops, which were ouce places of great resort for the idle in Eng land, certain laws were usually made, the breaking of which was to be pun ished by forfeits. Like a good mnny laws of the present day they were laughed at and not always obeyed. The employment of negro slaves was begun through motives of humanity. Seeing how cruelly the Spaniards worked the poor natives in the silver mines, not long after the discovery of America, a priest named Las Casas, out of pure be nevolence, recommended the employment of negroes because they were stronger than the Indians. A Norwegian writer has made some remarkable statements concerning the jumping of herring out of the water when frightened. Ho affirms that he lie has observed whole shoals of this fish, in their anxiety to escape from pursuing whales, piled up above the surface of the sea to a height of from three to six feet, and on one occasion about fifteen feet. Bennett’s Editorials. A recent New York letter to the Bos ton Herald contains the following: Once during the career of young De Nyse, he was made managing editor of the, Telegram and he was infoimed by Mr. Bennett that tho editorials for the paper would be furnished day by day by Mr. Levcin, who occupied a position on the Herald staff. These editorials used to come in written in a number of different hands, and marked “must” by Leveiu. De Nyse became dissatisfied with them and imagined that they were hurting the paper very much. So one day he called on the proprietor. S tid he: “Mr. Bennett you have made mo managing editor of the Telegram, nnd I am trying my best to push the gaper to success; but this man Levein is hamper ing me very much.” “How so?” questioned Mr. Bennett, looking up with some surprise. “Well, I don’t want to interfere with any man who is earning his bread and butter, but, at tho same time, Leveiu sends ia a let of editorials every day that are not written by himself, and I sup pose he is getting his friends to do the work for him. I shouldn’t object to that if the editorials were good,but they are simply infernally bad. There is one man in particular who turns in about the worst rot I ever saw in a newspaper. I haveu’t the faintcit notion who he is, but the stuff ho sends through Levein is laughed at all over the < ffice, and is so trivial that it just about destroys the ef fect of any work Ido in the news de partment. H. re is some of the manu script.” Mr. I’ennett took up a slip of paper nnd looked at it for a moment. Then he said: “So you don’t think this writer ought to be allowed to put his stuff in print?” “No,” responded D3 Nyse, “frankly, Ido not. It is quite evident that this particular man is a blame fool.” “Quite possibly,” said Mr. Bennett, very quietly. “I wrote those editorials myself.” De Nyse fell back in his chair with a gasp. His hair fairly stood on end. E> started to make some sort of an exp’.a' ->• tion, but Bennett cut him short. “None of that,” exclaimed the propri etor of the Herald ; “none of that. I thought those editorials were pretty good; but, as they do not impress other people in the same light, I shall never write another. Good day.” Mr. Dj Nyse returned to his post con siderably saddened, but he never had any further editorials from Mr. Ben nett. The Demands of lluilntm. “Why that cruel, relentless look, George, dear,” she usked; “have you ceased to love me?” “Jlushl” he whispered hoarsely, “the nature of my business demands it.” “Oil, George, does opeuing oyster* re quire such a cold, unpitying expression t” “lain no huger an oyster-opener,” he replied, and the cruel, relentless look be came atilt more cruel aud ralentle**; “I’m a b*ggag> master. m —Llfs, Mi #. • Philanthropic ti ltl —■’’!)) you aver wash your facet” M>udiaal—“t wash It avary morning •ilk great regularity, air."
