Hogs on Corn.
If hogs are in clover pasture an jo u

be fed to each daily; this will
enable you to hold the gain made by the
clover.
Unless there is natural shade in the

A few hundred feet of lumber
will save much pork. As clover contains
im acid that needs neutralizing, hogs
while feeding upon it should be given an
alkah of some kind.

ashes and salt. The screenings of soft

it t ; is Q best to feed no sour food to hogs
that are upon clover. If they have plenty
of pure water, a good clover pasture, with
very little corn, they will grow and make
gookpork. Though some might think
it a wasteful way to feed, we should, if
feeding whole corn, shell and scatter it
considerably upon the ground, in order
to have the hogs pick it up and eat more
slowly and get the whole benefit of it.
Every hogs digest feeder ought to know that h ; .3
what grain is given them.
In no other way does he get full returns
for his feed. One other thing, to get the
whole profit of hog raising the pastures
ought plowed to be so arranged that they can be
after being used a year or two
and a good crop of corn taken from
them, Can then be seeded to clover
again. In this way you have a rotation
of crops and are pretty sure to get heavy
ones every time.— Farm, Field and Stock¬
man.

the surrounding air it should be left un¬

advantage be covered.

tected from the rain, and milk stands
should be constructed to shade the cans
from the sun.
17. Only honest milk with its full
fchare of strippings should be offered;
Violation of this requirement leaves the

How to Cure Hiccoughing.
A company of young people, who had
evidently visited the Wild West exhi¬
bition on Staten Island, boarded the
train at the South Ferry station. They
were a jolly set, and passed the time in
laughing and joking until the train
reached Grand street, when one of the
young women was seized with violent
hiccoughing. The attack was so aggra¬
vated that it seemed as if the giri would
choke.
Various suggestions as to methods of
relief were offered. One told her to
hold her breath as long as she could.
She attempted it and did as directed un¬
til she became actually livid, but she
could finally hold out no longer, and
gave sounded vent like to a mighty explosion. hiccough which

England Scared.
At Spezzia, Italy, the whole Italian
fleet (the finest in the world for its size),
is to assemble for a two months’ exercise.
One of the items in the programme is to
show the facility with which a large force
can be disembarked, fully equipped, for
attack, and English alarmists predict that
it will show how easily England could be
invaded before a defensive force could be
gathered at any point.

Diamond Dyes excel all others
in Strength, Purity and Fastness.
None other are just as good. Be¬
ware of imitations, because they
are made of cheap and inferior
materials, and give poor, weak,
crocky colors. To be sure of
success, use only the Diamond
Dyes for coloring Dresses, Stock¬
ings, Yarns, Carpets, Feathers,
Ribbons, &c., &c. We warrant
them to color more goods, pack¬
age for package, than any other
dyes ever made, and to give more
brilliant and durable colors. Ask
for the Diamond and take no other.
