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*.
Why the Butter Doesn't Come.
1st. Because of some disorganized or
unhealthy condition of the cow.
% Cd. On account of the unwhole ome
food and water -supplied.
^'d. Want of proper cleanliness in
milking and setting the milk.
4th. l.ack of right conditions in the
raising oi uie cream?pure air auu proper
temperature.
5th. The cream not raised and
skimmed in due time.
Utli. Cream not churned at the proper
time?ke,.t too long.
7th. Cream rot allowed to free e?injured
still mo- in thawing.
8th. 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.

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

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

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.

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

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 '

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. Would not half the cab-horses 1
: crawl into the Thames, and would not !
I high-spirited mongrels devise means of
being beforehand with the policeman's
| truncheon? Nevertheless, 1 have just
I been credibly informed of an authentic
' instance. A gentleman with whom I had
a slight acquaintance, residing not many .
j doors from me, went last winter to the I J
j south of France on a visit to relations. ' (
j lie was out of health, certainly, but it t ,
I was quite expected that the change of i J
1 climate would restore him. Ilis '-faith- i(
i ful dog'' did not ' bear him company,'' j ,
I but remained with his wife and friends, j
The hopes ot his recovery proved falla- j :
I ciom, and when the news of his death ! J
came it was an unexpected grief. The [ (
I dog seemed fully to understand the na- i i
[ ture of the bereavement, and shared the
grief of the family to such an overwhelming
extent that one day it went
to an upper window and jumped out,
killing itself in a very distressing way.

Horses Saved by Choking.
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.

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.

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.

Finally, John got to be so habitual a

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

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

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

A Few Facts Necessary.

to pu/./,li.'g or .i^royintr them. Onesurh ^

French chemist, Orfila, and put him the question
whether he could stutc the pre- M

replied the expert; "but I must
know beforehand the age of the lly, its
box, its temperament, its condition and
habits of body, whether married or
single, widow or maiden, widower or
bachelor."
Their Own Fault,
Many farmers complain of what they
call their hard lot. They work hard, _
they say, all their lives and yet never get ij
ahead any. They dress poorly and fl
live poorly, and never spend a*
ccnt for any new or improved thing,
no matter if it promises to bring
back a hundred fold. When prices are
high they have nothing to sell and their j
tub is alway3 bottom up whin it rains.
