To produce flesh at least expense; 2, to proa feeing uce flesh most rapidly, expense not considered; 8, to produce most edible meat, time and expense not to be considered. The record shows that early penned in March eight follows: pigs were selected and shire and as Poland-Ohina; Pen, 1, two Berk Poland-China one Pen 2, two and one Berkshire: Pen :J, two Berkshires. The food consisted of the following: Pen 1 (cheap food), corn meal cooked with twice its weight of skimmed milk, giving a nutritive ratio of 1:1.1; Pen 2 (rapid fattening), pea meal cooked with twice its weight of skimmed milk, giving a nutritive ratio of 1:2.0; Pen a (for lean meat), equal parts with corn-meal and pea-meal cooked ing an nutritive equal weight of whole milk, giv a of 1:8.0. The director of the station stales the continuance and the outcome of the ex pertinents to have been that, in the nine gained ty*two days of feeding those in Pen 1 pounds;in 448 8-4 Pen pounds; in pounds.

Tho gilt-edge butter of the future will not be washed at ell, says the American Cultivator. The fine aromatic odors and the nutty flavor will be retained, and not washed away in streams of water. Water injures butter. A cloth wrung out in ice water, or even in fresh water, and then spread over a layer of butter will destroy its color and take out the good qualities from the surface layer. Ice water ismoro damaging in its effects than fresh woter of natural temperature. Weavers in Olden Times.

It Is pecullaryn It* strength a:nl economy—100 doses one dollar, it Is aconcm trated extract from 3 raaparllla, Dock, Juniper Berries, Mandrake, Dandelion, and other valuable vegetable remedies, and la much stronger than any i lmllar preparation upon the market. Hence, much smaller dose* of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are necessary than Is the case with other mcdl lues.
