are excessive, however. And where the

neither healthful, economical, or useful
to stuff these birds with such feed.
The Cochins, the Brahmas, the Dork
ana the Plymouth Koct», will
* , quickly become next to useless
-hese ers if indulged in overfeeding
rich grains and succulent
roots. Care must, therefore, be had to
avoid this error, particularly along
through the late fall and winter, when
we are pieparing them for early spring
laying.
If they get fat in cold weather old
hens will gather this unobjectionable
kind of flesh internally often. And this
diiectly interferes with their laying,
while it harms the quality of the eggs
they do lay, for the future hatching.
All our fowls should be well fed in
cold weather. But the breeding stock
must be cautiously managed in this
particular, or their eggs will very
frequently sive prove infertile, these from exces¬
cramming with hearty sorts
of food.
Keep a ready supply, of oats and
barley at hand for these birds. Allow
them bnt attle corn, and this crashed,
and to be given at night only. Plenty
of green vegetables will help them,
steadily allowed all winter, such as
cabbages, chopped rutabagas, etc. And
if we avoid whole wheat, buckwheat,
and whole corn—for our breeders—
they will do much better next spring,
when we want their eggs for incu¬
bation.
A Word About!*-!*...
The cheapest pork I over made was
from pigs born in July and kept till
September of the following year. I
presume expenditure pork can be produced with a
less of feed from spring
pigs, fattened during the summer and
autumn, and killed about the 1st of
December. And if the food has been
the same, the latter plan would be the
most economical. There is much truth
in the remark that “the cheapest
place to fatten a hog is in the pork
barrel.” If he is fit to kill, make pork
of him as soon as possible; and if ho
is not fit to kill by the time he is “a
hog,” you need a better breed or a
better system of ;eeding and manage¬
ment.
Bnt I feel snre that many farmers can
well afford to winter over a few yunng
pigs. If three or four months old, when
cold weather sets in, and if they are
strong better than and thrifty, they and will do far
younger less robust
pigs. In either case it is desirable to
have a dry, warm pen for them to sleep
in, and if they are fed outside, the
troughs should be placed in a sheltered
place. It is said that “ pigs can see the
wind.” Their skin is as sensitive to
changes in the weather as a rheumatic
old mule or a delicate barometer. I
have seen a herd of pigs, on the
approach of a storm, not foretold by the
Signal Service, tunning about with
straw in their months to make a Rest or
bed to sleep in. I have seen my
breeding sows, that slept in the base¬
ment under the barn, and were fed in
troughs in the yard, come to the open
door when snpper was announced, look
at the storm of wind and sleet,
and then shake their heads and
say, “No, thank you.” They would
rather go without their supper
than to eat in the cold. In the
case have of well-fed breeding sows
that gotten their growth, I am
perfectly willing harshness to let them experience
a little of the of this rough
world, but not so with yonng pigs.
They will stand steady cold weather
very well; in fact, with the thermom¬
eter down to zero, they like to come
ont of their pens and take a walk in the
sun on a still day in a sheltered spot.
But a little wind will make them squeal.
Well-ventilated pens are desirable, but
knot-boles The and cracks are particularly
bad. strongest pigs will get the
warmest uart of the bed. and leave the
smallest and weakest on the outside
when the draft strikes them.
i 01d pigs, in- winter, will do well
«M>ugk with one meal a day. But

eat up clean. I know this is easily said,
but, unless you feed jigs yourself, it is
not so easily done. It is one of the
great secrets of success las in feeding pigs.
I tell my man who charge of Hie
pigs that the “ less |e feeds them the
more What they will feed eat.” is | of
yon n<$ so much conse¬
quence as how you feyd. Asa rule, there
is no cheaper food than corn meal. It is
supposed to be tqo “heating” for
young feed pigs, the and many prefer “fine
” or fiber kfods of wheat bran.
I presume they are rignt. Still, in cold
weather I am not particularly afraid of
getting my young pigs too fat. We
feed more or less roots and bran with
the corn meal, and if the pigs are get
ting’too fat, lesson the proportion of
corn meal. But as a rule, farmers who
winter young store pigs will not get
them too fat.
Next summer these pigs oan be
cheaply fed on grass or clover, and the
fatter you get them ia winter the better
will they thrive in sudkner. Such at
least is my experience .—Examiner and

Hard Sauce.— Four ounces of butter
five ounces of sugar, beaten to a cream ;
pile it on the dish. You can add a
scrape of nutmeg or a little lemon jnice
when beating it, as you like—not
enough to thin it, only to flavor.
Jumbles.— Jumbles made from this
recipe are delicate and dainty. One
quarter of a pound each of butter, sugar,
and flour; one egg; beat the butter
and sugar to a cream; add the well
beaten egg; stir in the flour a little at
a time ; flavor with rosewater ; bake in
gem pans, or add flour enough to roll
them out and bake as you do cookies.
If you follow the latter method, after
fhe jumbles are in the tins take a silver
fork and pick the tops of the cakes to
make them look rough.
Sweet Potato Pudding.— One pound
of sweet potato boiled in a little water;
when done, take them out, peel them
and mash very smooth; beat eight eggs
very light; add to them half a pound of
butter, creamed, half ;:.po-and of sugar
(granulated,) half a tetojpoonful of pow¬
dered cinnamon, a vet r little nutmeg,
one wineglass of rose- rater, one gill of
sweet cream; stir well; then add the

A remarkable statement.
A* Dnnri K *jrrI ^of a Prsaataeat
The following article from the Democrat and
Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y., is of so striking
a nature, and emanates from so reliable a
source, that it is herewith republished entire.
In addition to the valuable matter it contains,
it will be found exceedingly interesting :
To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle:
Bib :—My motives for the publication of the
most unusual statements which follow are,
first, gratitude for the fact that I have been
saved from a most horrible death, and, second¬
ly, a desire to warn all who read this statement
against some of have the most been deceptive surrounded. influences It
by which they ever
is a fact that to-day thousands of people are
within a foot of the grave and they do not know
it To tell how I was caught away from just
this position and to warn others against near¬
ing it are my objects in this communication.
On the first day of June, 1881,1 lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by my friends
and waiting for death. Heaven only known the
agony 1 then endured, for words can never de¬
scribe it. And yet, if a few yeare previous, any
one had told me that I was to be brought so
low, and by so terrible a disease, I should, have
scoffed at the idea. I had always been un¬
commonly strong and hoalthy, had weighed
over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own
experience, what pain or sickness were. Vory
many people who will read this statement re¬
alize at times that they are unusually tired and
cannot account for it They feel dull and in¬
definite paina in various parts of the body and
do not understand It. Or they without are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely I felt appetite
the next This was just the way wbon
tho relentless malady which had fastened itself
upon me first began. Still I thought it was
nothing; that probably I had taken a cold
which would soon pass dull, away. and Hhortly times after
this I noticed a head, at
neuralgic, pain in my but as it would
come one day and be gone the next, I paid but
little attention to it. Howover, my siomach
was out of order and my food often failed to
digest, causing at limes great physician, inconvenience.
Yet I had no idea, anything even as a that that
these things meant serious or a
monstrous <Jtoease was becoming fixed upon
me. Candidly, I thought I was suffering from
Malaria and so doctored I myself accordingly.
But I got no better. next noticed a peculiar

yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed,
seeing these symptoms thorn, continually, and I finally
became accustomed to that my suspicion
was wholly disarmed by the fact I had no
pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity.
Why I should have been so blind I cannot
un derstand.
Thereto a terrible future for all phy ideal

a person to his sonses even though it may then

Rochester, N. Y., December 30, 1881.
A Composition on Bread.
At a meeting of the Jersey City
(esthetic society, Mr. Itossiter Johnson
camo forward in tho character of an
awkward schoolboy and read the follow¬
ing “composition”; is useful
“Brass a very metal. Some
high authorities hold that it is two
metals—tin and copper—thoroughly
mixed together. I think they warm
them before mixing. If \ had more tin
1 think I could get along with less
brass. The swell name of brass is
bronze. Brass is used in making door
keys, brass-headed nails, brass police¬
men’s buttons, aesthetic andirons, too
lovely bedsteads, gold breastpins, pop¬
ularity, antique door-knobs, knebs for
the horns of too enthusiastic cows,
French h >rns, counterfeit money, and
other articles of daily comfort. It is
said that some people build their entire
faces of it, especially insurance agents
and newspaper reporters ; but I think
this must bo untrue, as it would ronder
their soft and sympathetic cheeks very
hard. The Bible tells of a man who was
partly of brass, but it was not hisobeek.
Unfortunately, his feet were of clay, and
wheu he got his ankles wet in going to
a reception one rainy Saturday after¬
noon, the result was spontaneous am¬
putation.
“Once there was a man made entirely
of brass. He was 105 feet high, and was
very much admired, especially by the
young ladies, who udored tall men. I
suppose he commanded a regiment of
militia, for he was called Col. Ossug.
But at the age of fifty-six he lost his
life by an earthquake, and his old
clothes were sold to a man, who carried
them away on the backs of 900 camels.
“Since then they bare not built
people entirely of this metal, but have
confined it to the territory bounded on
the north by the tomple, on the east by
the nose, on the south by the jaw, on
the west by the ear; capital, Assur¬
ance.”
A Difference.
Circumstances do most assuredly alter
cases. A man who had a horse to sell
was asked by a gentleman wbo invaded
his stable what he asked for him.
“That hors**,” was the reply, “is • a
very remarkable animal. A child can
drive him ; he’s as tame as a kitten, and
was never known to shy. 1 will sell
him for one hundred and fifty dollars.”
The stranger took out from his side
pocket a mysterious looking book and
put down the sum the man had men¬
tioned.
. “Do yon want to buy that horse, my
friend?” the stable-keeper asked.
“Ob, no,” was the reply, “I don’t
want to buy any horse; 1 am round simply
the tax collector, and I am ap¬
praising property.” Well,
“Oh, ah, yes, I see. in that
case, I may as well confess that I have
exaggerated matters. That hoise, if I
were going to sell him, is all I have de¬
scribed him to be and well worth the
price I ask. But as a horse to be taxed
he is old, spavined, a bad kicker, vicious,
and not worth a penny more than
twenty-five dollars.”
