AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF IVTFItKST BEHTIVB TO FARM A\l> GARDEN. F'cedinc Rojrs for Fat or Lean. The experiments conducted by Prof, *VV. A. Henry, at the Wisconsin Agricul tural Experiment Station, last year, iu feeding hogs, character have excited much inter est, The of the growth was found to be largely influenced by that of the Prof food. Henry Regarding writes these experiments us: “I am repeat ing the experiment in different forms, and have confirmatory evidence that the composition be of the body of the hog can of very food considerably given. Do affected by the kind not try to show in the Amcricafi Agriculturist that we can produce carcasses fat and lean at will for the tables because the modifications by feeding have in reality a narrow range. If we can modify tho form slightly feed, in one generation by the way we it is natural to conclude that m a few generations we can very materially affect the form and constitution of an animal by proper or improper feeding. The hog being a greedy animal and easily plied, satisfied when enough food is sup has been greatly abused, especially here at the West, in the great corn dis trict. The sermon 1 wish preached from the text I have given is one in breeding rather than producing lean meat as against fat for the table, though we cer tainly can increase tho lean by proper feeding to a degree worthy of considera tion, and its flavor is also capable of being improved. Witness the Irish and Southern bacon in comparison with that of Illinois,”— Arncrir.iia Agriculturist . Rhubarb Cultivation. This is one of the most useful plants. The stalks, especially if grown early, ■when apples arc scarce and dear, arc xnuch esteemed for cooking purposes. It is also excellent for preserving, either by itself or mixing with small fruits. There are few plan Is which will give Inore the profitable results, but in most cases roots are relegated to the mos' obscure position in the garden, almost Jiny out of the way spot being good enough pointment for the rhubarb. Then disap is the result, for with that kind of treatment nothing but a puny growth can lie expected. ■ Like all other plants, rhubarb will respond generously to good culture and high Feeding, yielding immense crops of large stalks. The flavor is also of a 'superior quality when the roots arc treated liberally. Rhubarb will thrive upon any good soil, which should be dry and be worked detply ted with a liberal supply of well rot manure. For plants to set out it is better to split up old roots, with two crowns to each set, than to sow seed, as by the latter process it will he four or five years before a crop can be gathered, "whereas with planting sets the roots will bear a heavy crop the second year after being planted. Afier sufficient stalks have been gath ered the remainder should be allowed to die down, to rest the roots and renew their strength for the following season. J'uriug used the summer the hoe ought to be suds to keep down the weeds. The soap plied with on benefit washing days can be ap while the hot days are on. In autumn, when all the stalks have died down, the earth around the roofs must be well forked over and the bed covered with about six inches of good sfable manure. Rhubarb CAiIture deserves more attention than it receives at present. — Rural Canadian. The Use or Salt by Cattle. 8alt is a very widely distributed min eral, and exists in variable amounts in all soils, and inmost streams and springs issuing from mountains, often thousands of miles from the sea. The use of salt by cattle and by all herb-eating animals cannot be called an acquired taste, for saline waters am) beds of salt abound in all countries where animals exist, and have existed from their creation. It is also well known that so essential is the use of salt for the maintenance of health that wild animals travel many miles to obtain it, either from saline springs, or from the sea, or from the salt beds to be found in various parts of the world. Halt is a natural vermifuge, aud animals re veeeiving a regular and full suppply of it are rarely troubled with intestinal worms. It is also a stimulant aiding digestion, often restoring the tone of the stomach when impaired by an excess of experiments coarse or watery have food, Hundreds of been made in this and other countries to determine the import ance of feeding salt to domesticated ani mals, aud all the results have been un quo.tionably in its favor. "Many years ago one of tho greatest of European chemists (M. Baussingaultl), for the pur pose of determining the dietie value of common salt, selected six cattle, as equal as passible them in weight and appearance, and fed in exactly the same man* nier, except that three received one-half ounce of salt daily, white the other three got none. In about six months the skin and hair of those without salt be came rough, dry, aud staring, present ing a striking contrast to the smooth, oily, coats of the others, which, although not much superior to their neighbors in health weight, and were more lively aud in better far superior in appearance. It is too late in the day to question the value of all kinds of common salt for grazing animals, and the farmer who neglects to give salt once or twice a week will lose far more than he gains by withholding it.— Sac York Sun.

Lime may be made from shells, and such lime is the purest kind. The shells may be put up in round heaps upon a quantity mixed of fine wood, which may also be in layers through the heap.

Comical Boundary Line Incidents. Twenty years ago the authorities ot two small German principalities took a deal of trouble to solve a knotty [ioint of law, which was, as will be seen, much more practice. important Rolicit in principle Crawford, than in Mr. an English civil engineer, was building a railroad, which rail so close to the boun dary line between the two principalities that each demanded a station upon its own territory. After much trouble, he persuaded the authorities to agree to the, station being placed upon the division line so that one half the bidding should be ou each side. The arrangement gave rise to many troubles. The station master lived in the house, and two sons were born therein. Each principality claimed that they should be registered for its army. The unfortunate boys had hanging period over them military the service. prospect of a double of Several years after the completion of the road, .Mr. Crawford met the leading law officer of one of the principalities, who told him of a perplexing legal question to which the position of the station house had given rise. A thief, standing out side the window of the ticket otlice, had put his hand through and robbed the till inside. I he boundary line lay between the standing that he place of the thief and the till, so was actually in the ter ritory of one principality, while the crime was committed iu the other.— Argonaut. Ilow a Mule (lot Over a Fence. One of the clerks in the Orphans' Court, Baltimore, is responsible for the following: “lie was and out riding on the Catonsville road, in a passing a field where two horses and a mule were gra zing he saw that they had cropped the grass very short. In the next field was a tine crop of timothy, and the mule was standing by the rail fence eyeing the feed very wistfully.

The two horses followed in the gap thus made, and all three went to browsing, American. apparently well satisfied.”— Baltimore Man was given brains for a purpose, Some never find this out. SHOOTING THE CASCADES. The Perilous Run of a Steambat on the Columbia River. All was now in readiness, and a hsh of breathless expectancy hung over ho great crowds that lined both sides of ha river and blackened every available pint of lookout. Not a word was spokn, and nothing was heard but the kid roaring of the angry, seething, tumbling rj?,k mass of waters, tearing ever the ribbed channel. Six loud, sharp whistles were gren Jdassalo from the that locomotive all as a signal Thesejig- to he shrill was ready. heard above lie orous, notes were thunder of the crashing waters, (qit. •fames W. Troup was not slow in resp tid ing to the signal. He gave six whi ;les and tapped the engineer’s gong. wheel|vas A moment later the Hassalo’s seen beating the water into foam, svftng 5ho moved gracefully from the wharf, round deliberately, just as if she vas going to make a" smooth, quiet, ttle trip. Interest now became intense and thousands of eyes were bent wi ll a strained tension on the steamboat. low she backed behind the little island lid way of tlio channel, swung clear and steadied herself for the fearful plus e. For a moment the boat seem 1 to halt, like an eagle poising for a long and lofty flight, then, with her sharp and glistening prow aimed at the great oar ing breach, she shot toward the g ien, rolling masses. From shore to i tore the first line of the rapids stretchei like a cordon of breakers, and tlimulere( like the tumultuous surf. With a full head of break steam, in the the tlassalo entered the tbper waters, and here rece ring the first impulse of the mighty curent, made a plunge that thrilled "the cowd as if touched by an electric shock. “There she goes,” exclaimed a thous and voices, in low, subdued tpues. Crossing the break the steamboat rose pointing her bow upward at a lharp angle, and then blindly plunged town ward as if going to the bottom, bu she came up with the buoyauy of a cor , and now having committed herself ty the mercy of the rapids, flew with the speed of ing, an boiling arrow through and over the surg waters. Less than thirty seconds elapsed from the time the Hnssalo entered the crqst of the rapids until she had passed f rom view around the abrupt bend in the river, going with a tremendous rate of speed. the So quick were the rapids shot that feat was accomplished almost before the crowds could realise it. After pass ing from view the steamboat flew down the shining course at locomotive speed, and never paused in her wild career un til the Lower Cascades were reached. This distance was made in less than seven minutes. Capt. Troup deserves great credit for the cool, steady and courageous manner in which he made the perilous run. We say perilous, for the passage was made at tlm lowest stage ever made by any other boat, ex cept the Okanogan, many years ago. Curious Statistics. A recent speaker, says the Christian Advocate, says that the negroes In this country have multiplied eight times in a century. As they have 7,000,000 now, in 1980 they will amount to 192,000,000. If they maintain the same relative rate of increase by births they will. The whites in ten yenrs, and immigration, have increased 30 per cent. At this rate there will be 800,000,000 whites and over 200, 000,000 negroes—in all 1,000,000,000—in the United States in 1088. Who believes either of these statements? By that method one can prove that the Methodist Episcopal Church will soon have more communicants than the world will con tain people. This Last year it gained 5 per cent net. rate will double its mem bership every fourteen years. Hence, in 1902 it will have 4,000,000; in 1916, 8,000,000; in 1930, 16,000,000; in 1844, 32,000,000; in 1958, 64,000,000; in 1972, 127,000,000; in and the so, doubling every four teen years, year 2084, less than 2,000 years from the present date, there will be 32,767,000,000 of members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States alone! Toil on, then, brethren. Do not let the fact that, ac cording to the figures of the speaker quoted above, there will be only 6,400, 000,000 negrops and 13,200,900 whites — in all 19,600,000,000—of people in the United States at that timo disturb you! Who cares for a little deficit of 3,1.68, 0000,000? Great is statistics! Of course, other denominations are deluding them selves. They but, think that they are in- in creasing, as we are going to clude the whole population, and sev eral thousand millions more, they must cease to exist! The only trou ble is, that if some of them continue to grow, as will at present, the multiplica- the tion table wipe ns out in way.
