AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Loss of Appetite in Pijjs. Fattening pigs easily lose their appetite by reason of overfeeding, and this checks their growth and is a waste of feed. To avoid this result it is well to change the feed occasionally for a day or two now and then. \Vheu com is the regular food bran makes a wholesome and nutricious change, and it may be given with boiled potatoes without auy cessation ot the fattening. Pigs will fatten more quickly the more food they can be induced to eat and dige t, and a variety of food tends to this result, both encouraging the appetite and helping digestion. To restore the appetite cloyed with corn, we would suggest, a lew days' feeding with potatoes and corn boiled together until the potatoe? are mushed, and then some bran or m ddlings stirred in. If when cold it is too thick warm water should be added uutil it can be eaten easily. Add a little salt, not more than a teaspoon ful to a feed for each pig.?1Xeic York / hue*.

Cream too warm when churned. 9th. Cream too cold. 10th. Churn not a good one. 11th. Lazy hand at the c mm. Some persons have the churn arouud nearly all day, summer or winter; take a few turns andthe?>top; fool around and begin again. Cannot make good butter so. Cse a box or b irrel churn; begin moderately and continue so till no more vent is needed, and then go o 1 at a good pace, without stopping till the butter comes. When the cream is perfect and the temperature i-; right, about s.ixty-five degrees in w.nter, for a batch of butter weighing twenty to thirty-five pounds, . twenty or twenty five minutes should be ample time for churning, in the manner described. Since this complaint in butter making is more common in the winter season, I should expect to find the cause in the reasons given above in No. 4 to No. 5'.?Practical Farmtr. Overfat Cattle. The question has again come up that overfat cattle are not profitable. Of course they are not profitable. No one cares for fat except so far as the mar- j bling of th^ lean meat is concerned.' This is accomplished perfectly when the ani- j mal become > fat, as, for instance, on flush pasture supplemented with some additional food of u more condensed na- I Ilnn/m tlin C- fortr A r fka cTi/inrt fVtuf I VllIC. IUV ui tub iuai> , will lay on the large t amount of lean j meat in proportion to gross weight of j carcass, the meat be ng well marbled with fat, is the most economical to the ! butcher, and, of course, to the con- j Burner. The rcison why it is best for the butcher is that tallow is the cheapest product of the carcass and the butcher's price for the lean meat to the consumer is the relative average ditference in weight between the fat and lean. Nevertheless, the butcher, where he has the opportunity, selects those carcasses that willgivcthemostleanme.it of the de- j sired quality. Doe- the consumer profit , by this? By no me ms. The butcher j necessarily lixes his price on the average , of leau meat. When he gets a carcass rich in lean meat it is simply a windfall to him. In the case of ho^s it is somewhat dif- j fereut. Swine lay on fat naturally. The muscle is pretty much a fixed quantity. There is always mor^ fat than lean,'and the lard is not much less in price than the lean meat. Hence very fat hogs are i the rule. The difference between the j very fat hog and the moderately fat one | is trifling per pound. The fat is a 1 i.H. ,ML.. 1 J muruuauiuuie cuiiiniuuiiy iu iaiu unu inside pork at prices very nearly cor- j responding to that of the lean.

No dairyman should keep more cows than he can feed well; and no farmer should till more acres than he can farm well. Feeding charcoal to pigs is healthful, and should be practiced by all pork raisers. Charred corn cobs are good for them. A New England experimenter finds that feeding apples to milch cows has the invariable effect of les-ening the flow of milk. The Farm Journal says careless driving never is a safe way, for the oldest and safest hor>e will sometimes get Beared. Keep your milch cow-; in well bedded and well-sheltered stables. These should be thoroughly cleaned and the bedding daily renewed. Early-blooming fruit buds arc kept back by scattering manure or straw under the trees to prevent the snow from blowing away. oi-o nnt cn anifnhlo fnr st.ftpk food in this country as in Kngland, o.i accouut of our cold winters. There arc many good substitutes. Whether prices be up or down, prime mutton sheep are always salable, and at good prices. The markets are never supplied with choice mutton. We are opposed to salting butter by the use of brine in washing, as tine, good salt is better and more convenient, says the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. Farmers are getting out of the notion of fattening on nothing but corn. Corn is good, but when intermixed with some other grain, bran, etc., the ration is better. Farm profits vested in permanent im provements return larger dividends than when deposited in banks or invested in other directions. A farm cannot be too highly improved. With fattening cattle a very small ra tion of watcronce a clay will oc sumcicni; milch cows should be induced to drink twice a day. The water should be warmed in chilly weather. Fresh-ground oyster shells and freshground bone about the poultry house, ' and a warm breakfast of ground corn mtyl will greatly help the hens to increase their power to iay in winter. In planting a n .-w orchard some growers plant peach trees between apple trees in the orchard or garden. The peach grows and bears quickly, yielding largely before the apple trees need the space. Weeds, in growing, take from the soil ' * ? ' " - 3 , iL. ..1 | tiie same plane iooa as ao une juuuia ui our crops. Dry -weeds contain potash, phosphoric acids and other plant food stored in the stems. Rake them up and burn them. "When covering plants for winter it should be remembered that some plant* may be killed by too m ich protection, and such covering should be around the plants lather than over them, the object being to prevent sudden thawing aud freezing. Cows need light, not only for their own health and comfort, but because good b itter cannot be made from the milk of cows kept in dark stables. Air, light, cleanliness and warmth are four | > essentials of a cow stable where cows are kept for profit. Cilt-edge butter cannot be produced j 1 unless the udder and teats of the cow i and the hands of the milker are washed before milking the cow. The milk must then be removc.l from the stable a; quickly as possible, as it will absorb odors as soon as it becomes cool. The consumption of food by dairy i stock is p lid back in a three-fold way? ; milk, growth of stock, and the value of | the manure, which last often balances the first cost of the food. It is in that I respect that stock-raising is superior to exclusive grain growing. The milk supply of breeding sows kept in pens during hot weather is very apt to be curtailed by lack of drink. . It is surprising to most observers for the first time to note how much more water sows will drink which have suckling pigs than is needed by others fattening , on the same field. j One of the mo-t convenient properties to b: looked to in purchasing or leasing n farm is good stock water. But water. less farms can sometimes be supplied by artesian wells. The water ram. too, so seldom used, is inexpensive, and is not liable to get out of order, while it will force water a considerable distance. Meats for the consumption of a small family can be smoked by suspending the hams from bars laid across a large barrel, open at both ends, set over a smouldering fire. Corncobs make a good smoke, and bay leaves and uniper berries burned with them give the meat a slightly aromatic flavor. Cover the barrel while the smoking is gjing on. So says the Toica Register. The use of brine among the buttermakers is becoming more popular than it used to be, and is now used by some in washing the bult?r, and in some cases the salting of the butter is confined to the use of brine in washing. It is found that if butter is washed with brine, and no fresh water is subsequently employed, the butter will be made as salt as many people like it, and as salt as it ought \ to be. There is no such thing as luck in the pou'try business. The person who waits for Mr. Luck to raise his chicks will be badly left at the eud of the season. The luck that awaits anyone depends entirely ~ in ^ nviin.!rtn/in flift f imrt ' UU ills juuguicuij, iviiLv;, cuv, and labor spent, as well as the money invested. Success can be achieved by thi industrious, but don't trust to luck, or you will get fooled every time. He is a mighty treacherous old man. Many fail with camellias in the house only because of not understanding th ir necd^. They grow naturally in damp, shady places, and the conditions found \ here should be approximated in thowin- , dow. Give plenty of water at all times, ( but should the drainage in the pots be ( defective it must be remedied by using j plenty of diianage material in the bottom of each. An excellent way to grow the camcllia is to set the pot inside of a seco.id one. that is enough larger th in the one the plant is in, to allow of an \ inch of sand between the two. This se- ( cures agreeable moisture. The leaves ; , al90 should be moistened on alternate j, days with a light spray of water or by 1 sponging the surface. Fifty to fifty-five j , degrees of heat suits the plants at this ( season. ( Sticido by Animals. i On the sub'ect of suicide by animals J R. II. Busk writes to No'es and Qturiv: I am disinclined to believe in deliberate | intention of suicide in so-called "anim ils, "for one reason among others, because I think if they are capable of entertaining the idea they would take advantage of it so often, to be rid of the , J miseries the human animal inflicts on j . them, that the present doubt would not ' exist.

In hauling ice from a pond near Mon- j roe avenue, in the eastern outskirts of j the city, the other day, the teamsters | drove upon a strip that had been cut, j and suddenly found themselves, together i with team and load, submerged in water j eight feet deep. The men found it au easy matter to get out of the water, but they could barely keep the horses from drowning. They were deliberating as to a way of rescuing the auiinals, when S, A. Crnndall, of Spring street, suggested the novel idea of choking the horses, declaring th;it if this were done they would turn up their hceb and float like a bladder. It was done, and the horses were pnomptly floated upon a s >lid cake of ice. Mr. Crandall says he saw this idea executed with success by an ice dealer in Minnesota last winter, and thinks it well worth remembering. ?Rochester Post-Espw. THE HOME DOCTOR. "Whooping-Cough. "Whooping-cough is a highly contagious fever, affecting the entire system, but specially manifesting icycii in an maam- i mntion of the bronchial tubus and a spas- I rnodic cough occurring in. frequent paroxysms. The whoop is due to the rapid coughing. This fenders it impossible to draw in the breath until, the coughing ends, when the breath enters strongty through the glottis, stifl partially contracted by the spasm. It rarely ends in less than six weeks; generally its run is longer, sometimes many months. As a rule, the physician merely aims to palliate the symptoms, guard against complications and abridge somewhat the attack. Says Dr. Fling: "It must be admitted that thsre are no means by which the affection may be arrested." A writer in the Lancet thinks ihat the prevalent tieatment has been directed too much to the symptoms, instead of to the cause. Hence the medicines prescribe have simply had an anti-spasmodic and sedative effect?relieving the cough, but not reaching the disease itself. .During a severe epidemic of whooping-cough, lie noticed on several occasions a marked alleviation of tlie symptoms, ana tnen at other times a marked aggravation. This led him to suspect some powerful atmospheric in'iuence at work. On consulting his charts, he found that the former condition corresponded t > a high percentage of ozone in the air, and the latter to a very low percentage. Ozone being a natural antiseptic (preventive of putrefaction), he at once commenced to treat his patients with antiseptic medicines, taken internally. The result was very favorable. The method was confirmed by further experience, proving satisfactory in almost every case. How to Prevent Diphthcrin. The first and most essential agents for for preventing contagion are cleanliness, pure air, and sunlight. 'J licsc arc nature's great antiseptics. For the first great essential, cleanliness, our local Boards of Health see.11 to have but little regard. If they would spend one-half the time in cleaning the back alleys that they consume in magn'fying the few isolated cases of diphtheria^ the original invasion of an epidemic might often be averted. "Prevention is better than cure," but after the epidemic has once begun, the question naturally arises: how shall we limit its ravages? The first means to be thought of is isolation. The patient, ought, if possible, to be placed m an upper front room that is ngnt ana niry, and all but adult members of the family excluded. No children should bo permitted to be exposed to the contagion. All unnecessary furniture should be removed, and, "as far ns possible, propef germicides should be freely used. The following rules for disinfection, as given in Catchall's Key Notes, are very simple and perhaps as good as any : For air of sick room: Potassium permangauate, 1 dr.; Oxalic acid, 1 dr.; mix and moisten with twi.o the quantity (by bulk) of water; in two hours adu a small quantity more of water. It will emit ozone freely 1 enough for a large room, and it is an active disinfectant. For drinking water: Add sufficient permanganate of potassium to render it slightly pinkish in s'.rong light, then filter. For retiring closets, drains, and waterpipes: Hot water 2}? gallons. Copperas 4 pounds. Carbolic acid 4 pounds. Especially useful in typhoid fever, dysentery, etc., as well. tor drains, ditches, aud sewers: Disinfect with chloride of lime. One pound i* sufficient for ono thousand gallons of running sewerage. -For washing clothing: Sulphate of zinc ounces. Carbolic avid 1 ounce. Hot water 1 gallon. Soak the clothes twelve hours, then wash. Heavy clothing, blankets, etc., to be disinfected, should be opened and exposed. Close the room as tightly as j possible; stuff all cracks, and paste i paper over key-holes. Place sulphur in I iron pans; set on bricks in wash-tubs containing a little water. Ignite it by aid of hot coals, or a spoonful of alcohol poured over it and ignited with a match. Hasten from the room, and keep itcloscd for twenty-four hours; then open windows wide, and air it thoroughly. For i room ten feet square, use two pound* of bulphur, and for larger ones a porportionate quantity.?Health and Home. Lake Cities. The remarkable villages built on piles in prehistoric times were not confined to the lakes of Switzerland. Similar lake cities are traced in Italy, Austria, Hungary, l'omcrania, France and Savoy, but they are generally smaller, and nearly all belong to the age of polished stone, instead of extending through several periods. In Switzerland over two hundred of the villages are known, forty being in the lake of Neuchatel. Each contained about three hundred huts, and some of them must have had a population of twelve or fourteen hundred. Scientific guesses have placed the age of some of the lake cities at no less than seveu thousand years old. J ake dwellers have not been unknown in historical time i. Horn^nttia dr>sr>rihr>3 ji nr>nnle who lived in a plat'orm city over I akc Prnsias in Thrace, and in the present day dwellings on piles over water are built in many parts of the world, including New Guinea, Borneo, Celebes, and even Russia. Gold Mining: in Scotland. It is not generally known that a little gold raining is done in Scotland. Gold is found in small quantities on the property of the Lead Hills Silverlcad Mining & Smelting Company (limite.l) in Lanarkshire, and Lord llopetoun, whose marriage was celebrated recently, received as a wedding present from the miners a nugget of 3.?5 grains. Lady ! llopetoun now wears a wedding and keeper ring made out of this nugget.and the shareholders hope to have their dividends increased some day by the silver lead running into Scotch gold. The Height of Fashion. J-o ! tbo poor woman whose unbalanced mind makes her wear hats liko this to teaso mankind who tries to view the play, but gazes at this pyramid, which fashion calls a hat A woman's "headstrong," yet this hat's great weight must sure y eru?h her solt and yicl 1ing pate.

Perhaps she wears this funnol we abhor to make the men look up to her the more; but, if her bead was "level" she would know that hats as high ns this are very "low." We pity her who needs a lofty hat to lilt her head which otherwise is "flat" Without this hat we can't see through herouito, but with it she's more puzzling? and a "fright." Alas! alas! we men who foot the bills, know women's hats con;e "high"' like other ills, but when they're high as this we've got to strike, until they "shoot the hat" j we so dislike, i i ?H. C. Dodge, in Detroit Free Press. J Drammed O11J of Camp. John O'Neal was a drummer of our regiment, and although he had music in his soul, it was se continually drowned by whisky as to iind a decidedly Ecattercd expression through the drumsticks. Marches were so dreadfully mixed up with quicksteps and funeral dirges that, when he was to help furnish the music, a it was as equally impossible to infuse mil- 1 iiiu j uiuur un tuu pjwuuu a-> iu i;i>juiu i with proper solemnity the funeral of a comrade. Finally, John got to be so habitual a resident of the guard house that the drum-maior could get no service from him whatever, and it was decreed that he should he drummed out of the regiment. * i The drum-major arranged and gave jj orders that the ten lifers should play ten different tunes, and that thete should be a proper and vigorous accompaniment from the nine "boisterous untuned drums." The music may possibly be imagined by a veiy versatile musician, R but cannot be described until some more a language has been invented. I In this triumphal manner we escorted him through the camp, and about half a di rnilp tVir? rp?imflnt.nl linpq. On taking leave of us, which,of course, was in a most friendly way, ?.s there was tl no personal dislike between him and the other musician', he made us the follow- r ing farewell speech: D "Boys! You have succeeded in creat- ? ing a most terrific disturbance, but very little music."?The Comrade. Before tlie Havana Cathedral. One short block from the Plaza di Armas, writes a correspondent of the Boston Courier, finds us within the large open square in front of the grand cathe- ? dral of Havana. In all the streets through ^ which we had heretofore passed, the sidewalks were so narrow that two peo- E pic could not walk abreast, but here, before the church, they were very wide and completely thronged with devotees seeking their shrine to worship. We paused to view tlie faces of the passers-by; old and young, rich and poor, nil mingled in one company; carriage alfc-.T carriage rolled up to the broad stone steps end deposited its freight; ladies richly - dressed in the witching Spanish costume, T the long sweeping veil of black lace, _ which .forms the only head covering jd worn by ladies of quality, and the fan, the inseparable fan.

Onesurh ^ whs cross-examining the celebrated Jj French chemist, Orfila, and put him the question whether he could stutc the pre- M ci?c amount of arsenic to kill a fly.
