WINTER DAWTENG FOE PROFIT. The practice of ‘having the <cows ffresh in the falHund winter ought to diecomc more general ;i the yearly re¬ turns from-thei herd would be largely augmented In .the -fiwt place the -cows must due kept through the <win- ,5 ter, whether they give-milk or not.

During riLe months ©£ July and August milk and dairy products arc usually Hie lowest; then Is the -season for the.caw 4c .run dry and recuperate, for then it t« that nature supplies food without eoet, and the cow’s ^unprofitable term is passed over at the minimum cost Tor keep.— [Indiana Faraaer. > THE SOIL IS INEXHAUSTIBLE. ‘ One foot in depth *tf a fairly good agricultural soil contains 40D9 pounds of phosphoric acid; 8000 pounds of potash; 16,000 pounds of nitrogen and lime, .magnesia, soda, chlorine., sulphur and silica to afford food for all the crops -which these three elements can feed per .acre. After farmers by care, ful and skillful cultivation have ex¬ hausted ;ali this great store of plant food in the uppermost foot of his soil, which will require several centuries, will the soil be exhausted? Not at all* I As the land is gradually changed into vegetable growth, and the surface is removed as farm crops, it as gradu¬ ally deepens, and the 6ubsoil which contains the very 6umc element be¬ comes fitted for plant soil. And thus the imperishable nature of matter ap¬ plies to the soil, which can never be pxhausted during all the ages which are to come. All that mankind has to do Is to use its arts under the instruction of science to develop this latent fer¬ tility of the soli, and to go on feeding the human race until the end, if an end ever shall come when the earth will no longer exist as a fit habitation for man¬ kind.— [American Agriculturist. f A pig FERMENTED feeder of nearly PIG FEED. forty years’ experience, who 6ays he has “been called the liogman” and made money in this business, maintains, in the Michigan Farmer, that whey, butter¬ milk, skimmilk and cooked food should ferment before being fed. He adds that fermentation in the stomach is a necessary preliminary to digestion; I therefore, why not assist nature and thus save loss of valuable bogs by the fatal practice of giving sweet feed? He cites an agricultural college expc« i- ment “of feeding a lot of pigs just weaned on dry corn-meal and wet up with water; the result was a lot of hnmped-backed, scabby, lame pigs, the grease fairly running out of their hacks.” j Now pigs can be killed by feeding clear corn-meal unfermontcd or fer- mented. Clcar corn-meal is not u proper food in any form; is too con¬ centrated-; therefore not easily digest¬ ed; also contains too much carbon; creates fever and inflammation. So much f«r corn-meal alone, for young pigs. A very skilful man could feed f C rm«nted food without injuring Ids pjprg, Most inon are unskilful; there¬ fore the practice is not a good one. Bht more hog's are killed from fer¬ mentation than by feeding foods sreet. The trouble is to regulate the amount w degree of fermentation. As swill- •barrels are usually managed the fer- and accumulation of putre¬ faction arc so great that the contents ai ' e aild * S reat ntany hogs are killed by sftch food, Fermentation always reduces the amount of nutrition, as tl« sugar and 8tai ' cl ‘ torne * illt0 ad<£ ’ and acld 1S not food. This kind of fermentation is different from the processes of di¬ gestion. A pig vnaycmt more volume of fer¬ mented food =and requires more for a full meal than if the food was sweet. Mistakes are made here, and a gorged stomach of such hearh food as butter¬ milk mrJght result in injury; but the trouble is.an excess of food—not that it is street, for buttermilk is rarely ever sweet. I have fed thousands ef hogs on. sweet food and never lost obo for this cause. Thousands of hogs 'have been tilled from eating fer- menteS. acetic foods. The practice is jdaugttKius.— [New iSTork Tribune. -FI to Fir IN EGGS. ? The greatest profit I have ever been fable i<s make in eggs has been on those 'Said by any neighbor's fowls, writes-C- l8. HilL There is a month of every . year when Dm; price is down to eight or ten cents a dozen. Six months later they sell readily’ at eighteen to twenty cents. My jplan is rto buy when they are cheapest, and sell when they are clearest. By paying cash I have all I want brought to ray door with no trouble or expeuse of gathering them up. The process of preserving them in good condition for a half year is very simple. Slake a peck of dean lime, pour in six pails of water, and drop in three quarts of 6alt. Stir until all is dis- solved; then let it settle, and it is ready for use. Pack the eggs in jars, pour on the thinner lime water, cover the .iar with a cloth, and over this spread a coating'of the thicker por¬ tion of the lime. The eggs will keep as Jong as you will wish them to. The jars must not be tilled too full, as the water must not be allowed to get be¬ low the tops of the eggs. Each peck of lime will preserve more than a hundred dozen of eggs. A six-gallon jar will hold twenty dozen of eggs if rightly packed. The expense is very little, the jars will last many years, and the returns are sure and not far in the future. If the fowls insist on laying when eggs are cheap, that does not signify that one is compelled to rush them into a glutted market. The biggest part of the profit lies in holding them. In the faHor early winter you can do the marketing at your leisure, and get twice as much money for what you have to sell.—- [Southern Farm.' - FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Batten the barn. Cold rains don’t put fat on hogs. Take up the sag in the wire fence. Real rural recreation—going nut- ting. Have no machines “lying around losse.” Rich food makes rich manure, re¬ member. Cutting straw fine aids in its decom¬ position. Keep the flowers blooming and booming. Protect your floral favorites these cool nights. Timothy makes the best selling hay for market, Better not let the young calves have acorns to eat. Turn off the old ewes and weathers as soon as fat. Look out for scratches if the land are plowing is wet. Shingle the shed even if yon have nothing but straw to do it with.

An English engineer proposes mak¬ ing double-shell boilers, maintaining a pressure between them. By these means he calculates that a much higher pressure can be carried than is possi¬ ble even with the coil boilers now in use. Experiments were made at Magde¬ burg recently, with a new quick-firing gun of 5.3 centimetres calibre in the presence of officers from America, England, Russia, and other countries. France was not represented. Fifty shots a minute wer* fired, and the trial was a great success. The men employed in the factories in which smokeless powder is manu¬ factured in Germany have been pro¬ vided with rubber masks to protect them from the fumes thrown off' by the chemicals entering into the com¬ position of the powder. Heretofore the men have suffered greatly from this cause. A gold medal lias been offered by the Dutch Academy of Science in Haarlem for the best work on micro¬ scopic investigation of the mode in which different parts of plants can unite with one another and the phenomena which accompany healing after graft¬ ing- The accumulation of explosive gases in a room, mine, on- ship’s hold can now be ascertained by means of an indicator. It consists of a porous cylinder closed by a thin metal mem¬ brane, and the penetrating gasses raise the membrane, close a circuit, and ring an alarm. Experiments are being conducted in the English channel near Folkestone for the purpose of testing the geologi¬ cal structure of that portion of the sea bed upon which it is proposed to construct a bridge across the Strait of Dover. Thus far the sea bottom lias been found very solid and suitable for the proposed s ructure. In the opinion of the New York Commercial Advertiser, Dr. A. T. Jlauis has completely demolished the assertion that edueation and crime go together by showing from the official statistics in 3Iassachusetts that there are eight times as many criminals from every thousand illiterate persons as from every thousand not illiterate. Giring Shape to Feet. Every one, but especially children. Should wear properly fitting shoes, no matter how common their material. They should be neither too large nor too small, and should have low, flat heels that must be promptly “righted” as soon as they begin to wear to one side. If the toes of the foot show a tendency to overlap, they should ba rubbed with the hands once or twice each day; and if this care be given when the curving commences, it will, as a rule, prove sufficient to correct any irregularities of this nature, If a nail is wayward in its growth, trim it only lightly at the ailing corner, but fully at the opposite corner, If both corners grow too deeply into the flesh, cHp them carefully and lightly, and then scrape the center of the nail from the tip to near the root until it is thin and flexible. This proecss seldom fails to correct refractory nails, provided, of course, they are not neglected teo long.—fFarm and Fireside. AFRICAN BARBAP ATT.

I was allowed to witness it jtiy; <oa the condition that I and my coni- farnion should be unarmed. But for that 4 should have shot the chief and have the •executioner, Afterwards 1 did forces enough to prevent it, and for two years there weren’t any wanton killings. The missionaries have the place now, and the slaughter is going merrily on. Soft words won’t stop it. But I am drifting away from my story. Some old woman of influence had died, and accordingly, to celebrate the occasion, a slave had to be sacrificed. He was lashed fast in a kind of a seat, and a pliant stem about fifteen feet long stuck into the ground nea? him. The top of it was bent over and tied fast to his head, so that his neck was as taut as a fiddle-string. That was ihc first time 1 had seen them use one of their soft iron knives, and I expected ^o see the poor fellow’s neck haggled in¬ it to rags, but I heard only a click when struck the bones of the spinal column, and the man's head shot away like a blood peb¬ ble in a sling. A fountain of spurted from his neck, and the body worked and twitched exactly as a chicken does when its head is cut off. The head when picked up was chattering its jaws and rolling its eyes. “It’s awful, the amount of killing that goes on in Africa. A tribe will make up a party and go out to make captives in an adjoining village. They wait village until after night and then fire upon the until its defenders are killed. They take the rest of the folk and make slaves of them. Some are killed for the mere fun of killing them, some are slaughtered to be eaten, some for sacrifice, and others die from cruel treatment. About five out of every six captives taken die by vio¬ lence. As a consequence interior Africa is being rapidly depopulated. One may go for hundreds of miles and not see a man, but maj r note the charred stumps which mark where villages have once been.—[Chicago Tribune.
