If hogs are in clover pasture and you have shoats that are relied upon for pork, a pound or two of corn meal ihould be fed to each daily; this will enable you to hold the gain made by the clo.er. Unless there is natural shade in the pasture, artificial shade should be provided. A few hundred feet of lumber will save much pork. As clover contains an acid that needs neutralizing, hogs nrVtiln foA^imv iir%nri if aVinnLi hp rrivpri fln " "?4V- *VW"*B "t'"" " f?* alkali of some kind. Feed plenty of charcoal mixed with ashes and salt. The screenings of soft coal are often relished by hogs and are good for them. It is best to feed no sour food to hogs that are upon clover. If they have plenty of pure watei, a good clover pasture, with very little corn, they will grow and make f;ook pork. Though some might think t a wasteful way to feed, we should, if feeding whole com, 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 feeder ought to know that his hog3 digest what grain is given them. In no other way does he get full returns for his feed, tine other thing, to get the whole profit of hog raising the pastures ought to be so arranged that they can be plowed 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 Stockman. Dairy Rules. 1. Milk from healthy cows only should be used, and not until at least four days after calving. 2. Any harsh treatment that excites the cow lessens the quantity and injures tLe quality of her yield. 3. Cows should be allowed an abundant supply of wholesome, suitable food, and as much pure water as they will i drink. 4. A supply of salt should be placed where the cows have access to it every j day. 5. Cows should not be permitted to i drink stagnant, impure water, nor to eat cleanings from horse stables, leeks, j turnip tops, nor anything that would give the milk an offensive taint. 6. All milk vessels should be thor- j oughly cleansed; first being well washed, | then scalded with boiling water, and i afterward sufficiently aired to keep them : perfectly sweet. 7. Cows should be milked with dry hands, and only after the udders have , been washed or well brushed. 8. Milking should be done and milk i should be kept only where the surround- j ing air is pure ami free from all objec- j tionable and tainting odors. Milking in j a foul smelling stable or yard imparts to J milk an injurious taint. Sour whey j should never be fed, nor should hogs be ; kept in a milking yard, nor near a milk stand. 9. Tin pails only should be used. 10. All milk should be properly j strained immediately after milking, and | for that purpose a detached strainer is ' preferable to a strainer pail. 11. Iu preparing milk for delivery to a cheese factory, it should immediately i after straining be thoroughly aired by pouring, dipping or stirring. This treatment is as beuefic'al for the morning's milk as for the evening's, and is even more necessary when the weather is cool than when it is warm. 12. In warm weather all milk should do cooiea aiccr 11 nas Deen airea, out doc | before. 13. Milk kept over night in small ' quantities?say in tin pa Is?will be in i better condition than if kept in larger , quantity in one vessel. 14. "When both messes of milk are con- J veyed to the factory in one .can, the mixing of the morning's with the even-! ing's milk should be delayed till the milk wagon reaches the stand. 15. While the milk is warmer than the surrounding air it should be left un- j covered, a :d when colder it may with ! advantage be covered. ll>. Milk pails aud cans should be pro- ' tected from the rain, and milk stands . should be constructed to shade the cans . from the sun. 17. Only honest milk with its full share of strippings should be ollered; violation of this requirement leaves the k patron "liable to a heavy penalty.? j Western Farmer. I Breeding and Rearing Horses. It has been shown repeatedly by the most clear evidence that hor.-es can be ' reared upon ordinary rarms with much i more profit than is afforded by any other kind of live stock. From the first to the last there is profit, and if it is nefcessary to realize the profit the young colt can be sold as soon as it is weaned for as much as a three year-old average steer j or cow will bring. Farmers need find , no difficulty in going into this business, ! and the very le.ist persevering among them can get out of it without loss at a day's notice, if the fit to do so comes suddenly upon him. All hj has to do to begin is to keep mares for his farm work, and arrange matters so that they . will not all be retired from work at the ' game time in the busy season. Hy get- j ting all the work that may be possible done in the Fall, the Spring work will ' be eased up so much that the mares may j not be overworked when they are needing rest. In chosing mare3 for rearing colts the very prevalent mistake of picking up the : poorest animals, the blind and the lame, under the belief that anything will do to | rear a colt, should be avoided. The fre- I quency of unsound horses?blind, spa- ; vined, ringboned, broken winded and weedy?is due to this grand mistake and 1 neglect of the furdmental principle of I breeding that like produces like. The ! same error is made in choo-ing the sire. ! The prevailing idea seems to be?at least : it prevails outside of professional breed- I ers?that the se vice of a male an'mal is j something as free as air and water, and ! the owner of the beast is extortionate if j he exacts a fee at all equivalent to the j value of the service. A dollar for a caif j and $'5 for a colt is too often cou?idered ! the standard pricc.and when the courage j is screwed up to the point of giving i or $10 there is too often a latent hope { that payment may be escaped in some way. A rather costly experience during j & few yeais past has proved to the writer j that in the majority of cases payment of I this valuable service will be evaded if j possible. No one has ever voluntarily called to pay for the service, and many have escaped it by very questionable subterfuges, or have put oil payment by excuses until patience has been exhausted and the debt abandoned as not worth further trouble. This is very discouraging to an owner of a good animal and tends most effectively to lower the standard of this service. On the other hand, the owners of the gtalliom are blamab!e for some delio quency. In pursuit of busiress they accept more than can be done safely, and disappointment and loss are thus caused. In fact, the whole business needs reforming and the laws regulating it changed and amplified. All these animals should be inspected, registered, and licensed. The services should be restricted to a limited number. The fees should be paid half in cash at the time of the service and the balance when the mare is ccrtainly pregnant, or at such other time as may be convenient and safe for both parties. The colt should be held for the remainder of the fee until it is a year old, and in case the colt has t ied or has been so'd the mare should be held as security. And any owner selling the mare without notifying the purchaser in writing that a lien of this kind exists upon the colt and the mare should be held chargeable with fraud. All these precautious are necessary for the security of all parties concerned and lor me sausiauiury jmiactunuu v?i wic desirable business. Experience has proved j to the writer that at least these regulaI tions are urgently needed for the enj couragemeut of horse breeding, and this industry is not only of importance as an agricultural art, but it is indispensable for the public welfare and safety, as in times when war may be forced upon the I the nation, and a large number of service! able horses may be required for national j j defense. The necessity for reducing this bus- j iness to rule by law has been shown very ! clearly by the introduction aud spread ! of an exceedingly serious disease which j has le 'ome a source o! a'arm and loss in i the Western States. Had the inspection i and licensing of stallions been enforced 1 by law the introduction of a dangerous disease, formerly unknown here, from France, would have been prevented. In like manner the prevailing unsoundness i of horses would be avoided and healthy I sire3 would secure a healthy progeny, all the more certain if the owners of the mares have the wisdom to avoid the use of any but healthy animals.?New York 1'iirus. Farm and Garden Notes. Clover makes the very best hay. Do work well, and make each motion count. "Milk osnpfMftl rare and nrotection from all filth. A small flock of sheep is profitable for almost any farmer. Thin out early vegetables while the plants are very young. In California sulphur is effectively used to prevent mildew. The first half hour after the milk leaves the row is what decides its excellence. Fruit and vegetables in order to sell well must be marketed in an attractive state. Cleanliness on the farm does more for its excellence than the expeuditure of money. Pastures cannot be continually cropped without something being returned to prevent loss of fertility. Animals are constantly growing fatter or poorer, and it is for the farmer's interest to note which way the growth goes. Before manures can produce their full and profitable effect upon the soil, the land must be made dry by drainage or ! other means. The extensive use of ensilage upon any farm is chiefly a question of convenience and economy, which local conditions must decide. The silo system is best adapted to high-priced lands and so-called hi<jh farming, and to farms not suited to profitable grass growing. Every new fact discovered about the diseases of farm animals, emphasizes that these diseases are owing to impure drink from ponds and sluggish creeks more than all other causes combined. In hog pastures where a movable fence is used, so as to change the hogs and thus prevent waste of the clover from tramping down, in a fair season an i acre of clover will furnish forage for ten shoats. The cost of preserving a given crop as ensilage does not materially differ from curing the same crop by drying in a suitable season, but crops can be siloed and preserved in seasons when they would be lost if drying was attempted. Here is a simple remedy: When a cow is choked with an apple or potato, hold a l.l aaI? /\ t an r\r\ r\ nS<)n a P /fill a uiuciY ui wuuu yjn uuc ui tuc let, and strike with a mallet on the other, and crush the app!e. This is better than trying to force it down or to lose the cow. It pays to produce the best. An inferior article is always sold at a loss, while the man who has the best cows,the best butter, the best beef, the choicest poultry, well dressed; or the best but- j ter, put up in neat packages, always ] sells his goods at a profit. As food for cattle, as well as other kinds of farm stock, ensilage forms a good and very cheap substitute for roots, j and its condimental effects are especially | apparent. But the usual ensilage crops j fail to till the place of the root crop in a judicious farm rotation. A silo or two, well built, but not too large or too expensive, will be convenient and economical on most farms, | to convert waste products into edible forage, and to save crops which at other times might be lost, if not to preserve some crop specially grown for ensilage. In feeding, the best rc&ults follow a moderate ration of ensilage, rather than its entire substitution for dry, coarse fodder. Except in the case of animals fed to maintain their weight, ensilage cannot be recommended as a substitute for more than half the long forage consumed. Several reports of death from handling animals diseased with glanders or blackleg are reported. If the virus of these contagious diseases enters the blood through a scratch or wound, blood poisoning, and a frightful death follow. This fact is not generally known, and it ought to be carefully bourne in mind, and neigbors ignorant of the nature of these diseases cuu tioncd. An old Kentucky bree ler places salt as first in importance as a preventive of cholera among swine. He also claims that salt, of all substance?, is the best promoter of digestion as well as an antidote ngainst worms. He has adopted the plan of salting all his animals in watertight troughs, keeping a supply of salt on Iliad continually. Some charcoal is fed with salt to swine that are closely penned, and he gives ashes occasionally under all conditions. Maiden Aunt (visiting family)? "Gussie, you shouldn't cry so when it thunders.

Antwerp Cathedral's Ninety-Nine Bells ? The Pride of the Land, Worth $100,000 ? An Ancient Mode of Casting. In Belgium, day and night are set to music; even the wind that ranges over her compagnas is fraught with sweet, harmonious whispers. Those peals of bells, playing the same joyous strain, possess a wonderful fasc'nation for the listener. Every s>^ven minutes there is bell-music from seme gray old church such as St. Kombaud, Mechlin." The sound floats to us in moments of discouragement, and we choke down a sob at the recollections that it brings. It comcs to us in the crowdcd city street between the pauses of summer rain, and | it drifts through our dreams at night, tinging our dormant fancies wnn a semiconsciousness. There are ninety-nine bells in the Antwerp Cathedral: forty form the carillon, fifty-four are smaller in comI pass and tone, and the remaining five are very ancient, and are rung at an elevation of 271 feet. 1 he oldest of the five, "fforrida," bears the date 131<:,and is a peculiar shaped bell which, from its extreme age and chronic rheumatics, the Antwerpians have, of late, permitted to live in silence. Then comes the "Curfew," which may be heard daily at the hours of five, twelve and eight. Next is the bell which rang for the first time when Carl the Hold entered the city, in 1407. It is called "ct. Maria," and its companion is "St. Antoine." Last of the five and the pride of the land is the wellbeloved "Carolus," given by Charles V., reputed to weigh seven and a half tons. It is valved at one hundred thousand dollars, contains gold, silver and copper, and is only used about twice a year. The quarter hours are divided by two or three notes, the number doubled is rung for the quarter itself, quadrupled for the half hour, while at the hour a peal of music issues forth that shakes the entire belfry. Suppose we pass in imagination to the city of Mechlin in this year 1631*, to the fin-noooo ond ur/irlr nf Pf>t.er Van den Gheyn, and witness ihe casting of some of these mighty bells. "When the hollow space between the cover of clay and the clay mold is the precise cast required, the critical moment has arrived, and the skillful workman produces his rarest metals (the "Bosette" copper, with its unique pink bloom, refined tin, glistening like silver, certain proportions of zinc and antimony, known to the smith aione) and throws them into the caldron. At a given signal, the molten m .S3 ie allowed to rush through an opening and till the hollow mould. When it has cooled the bell is finished. Kings and princes of the blood royal have stood by these caldrons and have thrown in gold and silver, a costly riDg or a bracelet, with the name of holy saint or martyr, as a token of success. Some of the decorations and inscriptions upon the old bells are wonderfully beauti ul as well as interesting. The former are in low relief and illustrate almost every variety of s .bject, while the lines, in raised letters, are often suggestive and touching. "Petrus Hemong me fecit,'1 is the inscription familiar to all bell-hunters in Belgium. The grand bells of Mechlin and a large number of the Antwerp chimes bear the same na:ne, while in the belfry of Bruges (which "thrice consumed and thrice reouilded, still watches o'er the town"; is to be found upon the carillon the name of Dumery. There seems to be almost no limit to the number of bells in Helgium. Besides the ninety-nine in the Ant i J If werp catnearai, bc. itomoauu, jukuuu, lies forty-five; Tournay, forty; St. Gertrude, at Lonvain, forty; Bruges, fortyone, and Ghent, thirty-nine, but for all the seeming multitude, there is scarcely a citizen wno does not reverence the individual history of each bell. To him they are not mere masses of inetal emitting a mechanical sound, they are the grand old sentries of his country, which have tolled mournfully for dead patriotism, or rejoiced in loud tones at the exit of a tyrant. He would tell you that such a one is a "storm-bell," which warns the traveler of the approaching hurricane; auother is the "peace bell," whose sound, ( in days gone by, brought assurance that the enemv was ouict: this one is rtiner at 1 the opening aud shutting of the city gates; that one proclaims the hour of < prayer. Ah, Belgium, loving and be- i loved of bells! Thy many-voiced, chimiog patriarchs hold daily communion i with man, but they are not of him, they ] summon him to h:s duties; they swing , for his griefs end pleasures, "tinging 1 out the old, ringing in the new," almost for ever and ever. These valiant spires, | gray and constant in the upper air, dis- ( course together over the heads of frail i humanity, and their speech is rocked | from tower to tower by the music of the | bells.?Chicago Current. , New W;iy to Get Money. 1 The inventor of one of the latest swindles in Mew York usually represents < him?elf as an Englishman. He has a de- | J cided cockney accent, is always well i dressed, and presents a very genteel ap- j < pearance. "When he thinks he has an | easy p:ey he approaches his victim with t an eyeglass in hand. From one rim the ' pebble is missing. He explains that he < has just dropped the glass and shattered ] it.

The ox-tail meat and bones constitute the chief luxuries obtained from cattle. Each car of beef carries a certain number of tails, which are mostly bought by the hotelkeepers. Prior to 16?5, the London butchers sent the tails to the ranners with the hides, and e en ilurinc the past twenty years the men employe! in English tanneries used to find these tails in the hides and take them as useful perquisites. French refugees 200 j-ears ago taught the world to utilize this valuable and nutritious food. Even he udder of a young dry cow, when nicely corned and boiled, is very good jating. The ox gall is used for liniments, for the mixing of paints, cleaning jlothes, carpets, etc.?N-.w York World. To Keep a Bouquet of Flowers Fresh. A queer way to keep a bouquet of 3owera fresh, but a very striking and sffective one, i? thus described: In a vessel of water place a plate, and on this stand a bouquet of flowers, weighted at the bottom, so as to stand upright. This being clone, tlie bouquet is covered wim & bell glass, the rim of which ought to fit exactly the Hat part of the plate: the bell glass should be entirely tilled with water and without the least air bubble. Then raise c.11 together, bell glass, plate and bouquet, and place ou a table, leaving on plale around the base of the bell glass a little water to Keep the air from entering. The flowers in this situation will be preserved in all their freshness for several weeks and their beauty is increased by a great number of bubbles of gas produced by the respiration of the leaves, aud which attach themselves to the leaves, looking like pearls. The edge of the plate and the water that it contains should be concealed by a light bed of moss, in which are some flowers. A bouquet thus arranged produces a charming effect, especially in the evening. ? Guod llo iseketjping. Etiquette of the Pantry. The mistress should lend herco operation to the task of making the pantry look attractive. Papers should be supplied for the shelves, either plain white or gayly colored cut ooracrs mac come for the purpose. The latter show d.rt less than the white, and are ,not costly. Au excellent plan is to cover the shelves with white marbled o'k-loth, tacked on neatly, that the edges may not curl. This can be wiped otf with a damp cloth Rt less expenditure of time ana labor than would be required to scrub the bare shelves. The bright papers may still be used along the edges. It is not enough simply to keep the pantry looking neat; it will need to be overhauled every week, and each article wiped inside and out, as well as the shelves on whit h they stand. The tins should be brightened once in a while, and the stone china and pressed glasses in use here should be kept as clean and bright as the finer ware in the dining room. Added diligence muse be practised in hot weather, when fl'e3 abound. No cookiDg utensil should then be used without having first been rinsed out. No pots or pans must ever be put away after washing without taking care that the inside is perfectly dry. Rust gathers quickly, and is not readily removed. While the conk should be supplied - - *%. i - * JJ-t. .i.xl.. with a sumcieut numoer 01 uisucioruy, mopcloths and towels, it is not wise to be too lavish in ihis respect. Profuseness 011 the part of the mistress breeds extravagance in the maid. "Easy come, easy go." The tcwcls are made to duty as iron holders, to open oven doors, to scrub the floors, or to scour out the sink. There should be cloths provided lor all these ollces, and the towels preserved for their own especial use. They should be washed out daily, and when greasy should be thrown into hot water strong with borax or household ammonia. At least once a week they should have a hard rubbing and be boiled, nor should any opportunity bo neglected to give them a bleaching, either on the snow or on the grass There is no reason why tney should become the stained mrdodorous rags into which they are quickly transformed, even in otherwise well regulated kitchens.?St. Louia Sayings.

Only Woman Killed at (iettysbnrg. Among the interesting things concerning the battle of Gettysburg 1 have seen no allusion to the story of Jenny Wade, who was the only woman killed in that conflict. She was a youn<; and very attractive girl, living in a double, red brick house on the Baltimore pike, east of the town. On the first day of the combat, when the Eleventh Corps, under Jlajor-Cicncr.il O. O. Howard, was fo:ced ba:.k to Cemetery Hill,and .1000 of their number captured in the streets, Jenny was engaged in lier usual household occupations in the kitchen in roar of the dwelling,and a Confederate bullet, penetrating the front door, traversed the direct and connecting hall and buried itself in the poor girl's bosom, killing her instantly. She was engaged to be married, and her lover was lighting among the Union troops. Hy a strange fatulity he was killed, as nearly as could be ascertained,about the same time as his sweetheart, neither of them, of course, learning aught of the death of the other.

A dark or blackish color indicates that the hemp has suffered from fermentation in the process of curing, and brown spots show that the rope was spun while fibres were damp, and is consequently weak and soft in those places.
