, A Hopj's Affection for a Hea.
' The large, blooded Poland-China boar
Rob Roy III., owned in the town of
Wayne,N. Y., says a New York Sun correspondent,
has more than a local reputation,
not only for his breeding, but for
the fierccness of his nature. He is of
enormous size. "With the exception of
his owner, he will permit no one to come
near him, and the only other living thing
on the farm that he ever had any friendship
for was a dominick hen, which had
been his almost inseparable companion
and attendant for more than a year. The
big hog has the run of half an acre of
ground, and he has rooted that over and
over again, for apparently no other purf
pose than to provide the hen with worms
and other insects, without her having to
take the trouble to scratch for them her\
self.
The hog and the hen could be seen any
day in good weather making the rounds
of the enclosure, the hog turning up the
' ground with his great snout, and the hen
standing ready to seize the worm or bug
(the rooting revealed. The hog would
watch the hen as she searched in the upturned
dirt for insects, the old fellow
grunting contentedly the while, and apparently
having no object in life but to
(root for the hen. When sne bact gone
thieugh one rooting of soil the boar
would plow up another one, and keep on
until the hen's appetite was satisfied.
Then Rob Roy III. would stretch himself
in the sun for a nap, and the hen would
either wallow in the dust by his side, or
perch on his body somewhere and wait
for her big admirer to wake up.
i The hen always took her place on the
edge of the boar's swill trough when his
feed was poured in, and picked out such
morsels as his nosing about the trough
brought to the surface.
k A week ago another pig was turned
K into Rob Roy's enclosure, and the big
W*- hog tolerated her presence. She fed at
ft the same trough with him, and all went
5 well until Saturday. The dominick hen
' perched herself as usual on the edge of
the trough at feed time. The new pig
did not approve of this, and, with a quick
and savage movement, caught the hen by
the neck and bit it in two before she
could squawk. For a moment Rob Roy
turned his head and gazed at the flutter
ing and pirouetting of the bleeding and
headless body of his friend.Then he made
ene rush upon the dominick's slayer, and
before his owner, who had been a witness
of the hen's taking off, could interfere,
Rob Roy had torn the other pig so frightfully
with his long tusks that she died in
a few minutes.
last Coin Spent by Abraham Lincoln.
Dr. J. B. Mobley, of Fairburn, Ga.,
has a curiosity, with a history of unusual
interest attached, in the shape of a tencent
piece?not a dime, but a regular ancient
ten-center. It runs this way
On the evening of the 14th of April,
1865, the night on which President
Abraham Lincoln was killed, the President,
before reaching the opera house,
walked into a drug 6tore close by and
bought of the druggist a bottle of smelling
salts, paying him therefor ten cents.
He handed the druggist the exact
change, this identical ten-cent piece.
T --A it.. T> : j ? t. ?...t ii,?

B drug store, Charley Lines, a Union soldier
n and a member of the 146th New York
g Volunteers, entered the store and bought
I a cigar tor ten cents, and handed the
fc^jdruggist a twenty-five-cent piece, and
r^**tbe-druggist said:
8 "Here is ten cents just paid me by
If President Lincoln, and here u a five-cent
M shin-plaster."
0 Private Lines placed the ten-cent piece
Eg in his vest pocket and went on his way
rejoicing in the flavor of his cigar. The
next hour and a half brought the news
Hi to the soldier that the President had
H| been fatally wounded at the opera house.
The soldier thought of the ten-cent
piece immediately, being the last money
Kg the President had spent while in life.
|k He valued it very highly, and in the fall
of 1866 he met with Dr. J. B. Mobley
jgs and told him about the ten-cent piece he
gtf had. The doctor laughingly asked
jm Colonel Lines what he would take for
I the piece, ana Uoionei Lines remarked,
jokingly, he would take $25 for it,
whereupon Dr. Mobley pulled out the
amount and handed it to him. Colonel
Lines wanted to back out, but Mobley
insisted, and finally received the piece
from the hands of Colonel Lines.
It appears the drug store mentioned
was only a few steps from the opera
house, and, further, that the President
had a private box at the opera, and, consequently,
had no ticket to purchase as
he went in, and Colonel Lines stated it to
be a fact that the d.-uggist said the President
gave it to him. At any rate, this is
strong evidence that this is the identical
last ten cents Abe Lincoln ever disposed
of during his life. It is dated 1827,
with the Goddess of Liberty, and the
eagle with three arrows in his claws and
marked 10c.?Atlanta Constitution.

HOW A COW MAT BE TESTED.
To test the ability of a cow to turn
food into milk and butter several days'
U*U1JILI?? TOU4 Ut IC^UllCU UV UIOV. JVU*
ing this time the food is gradually increased
one-tenth each day, or more if it
can be done safely, until the cow's ability
to eat is discovered. When the highest
point of this is reached steady feeding at
the same rate is continued for a week
and the produce carefully weighed, the
quantity of food also being accurately
measured. The gradual increase during
the training period is also noted. It is
not safe to continue the test more than
a week, as, if the appetite falls off from
excess cf food given, the loss of yield is
greater in proportion than the increase
has been, and sometime will be required
to reach the normal product again. Many
fine cows have been injured by this sort
of experimenting, and some have been
killed.?New York Times.
GIRDLING GKAPE VINES.
To determine the question whether the
practice 01 giruiing cne grape vine produces
increased size at the expense of
quality, says Orchard and Garden, a
careful experiment has been made during
the past season by Dr. Jabez Fisher, at
the instigation of the Massachusetts Experimental
station. The results show a
decided gain of teu days in ripening of
I the fruit, with largely increased size of
berries, but with the drawbacks of a loss
by cracking open and the production of
berries too soft for market. Both of
these were due to the wet weather, and
would be lessened in a dryer season. In
the matter of quality there was no loss of
j sugar, but, on the contrary, an increased
sweetness in the fruit from the girdled
| vines compared with those not girdled.
The gain in earlincss would make the
crop more valuable, and the increased
size of the fruit would make it very at
| tractive, and more than make up tor trie
I softness of the berry. There is also to
! be considered the injury which may be
j done to the vine in repeating this operation
yearly.
HOW TO KEEP HONEY.
All surplus should be removed from
hives at the close of the honey season; if
left it will soon become dark and have a
solid appearance, and bees cannot protect
a large surplus so well, and unless
the hives are very close, robbers will find
their way to the honey. Comb-honey
should be carefully stored in a close
building, so that bees cannot find it; not
in cellars or underground repositories of
any kind, but above ground, and have
plenty of light and air, and at the same
time prevent bees from entering. Combhoney
can be kept free from ants and
other insects by placing it on tables the
feet of which may set in basins of water
and kerosene. Ants are very destructive
to comb-honey; they puncture the cappings
and destroy its appearance. Extracted
honey should not, as yet, be kept
in air-tight vessels, as it is still in process
of ripening, and if the gas that is
produced cannot escape it will burst the
packages; hence, they should have a
small opening at least. Extracted honey
may be kept together in any quantity if
pretty well ripened; if not, it should be
in small quantities. Earthenware and tin
are probably best for keeping extracted
honey in, although kegs and barrels can
be used, but should first receive a coating
of beeswax inside. This can easily
be done by pouring in melted beeswax
and running it over the surface.?City

MANAGING UNEASY COWS.
To sit down to milk a cow that is disposed
to kick, or is so uneasy as to be
continually stepping is an annoyance
that leads to a very strong desire to use
Untiee if nnt tlfinrrJ lrnnnbc^ on/1
it is the development of this desire on
the part of rough helpers that frequently
ruins an otherwise valuable animal, says
W. H. Foreman, in the Southern Lice
Stock Journal. Any habit of this kind is
injuiious in more ways than one; it
makes an undesirable animal, and the
constant interruption in the milking
tends to diminish the flow of milk. We
recently purchased a fine cow that was
soon to come in, at a surprisingly low
price; at calving time we thought we
discovered the reason; upon attempting
to milk, the cow had formed the habit
of lifting her foot so constantly and so
close to the pail that it rendered milking
almost impossible. In devising ways
and means for prevention we took a ring
and staple and attached it to the sill in
the barn directly back of where the cow
was stauchioned; we then took a strap
with buckles and buckled around the
right hind leg just above the fetlock,and
setting the foot back, hitched the other
end to the ring. We then sat down and
went to milking, the cow attempted to
take her foot up over the pail; but every
time it came back in its place, and our
milking continued in full confidence of
A ataw/trtf a/1 frlolp tlio
aaictj. auci iciicatcu ujuia ?*
gave up for a few minutes, and then
would try again with the same result. As
soon as we finished milking, the cow was
released. We continued putting on the
harness, and for some time she would tr^
to continue the old trick, but finding it
was of no avail she poon tired of it.
After pursuing this treatment for about
three weeks we omitted the placing of
the strap and there was not a foot raised.
The cure was effectual; no harsh words
were employed, but the animal soon discovered
that she was cvZitroled by a
power superior to her own, and very
gracefully yielded to its influence.
I
It miglit be somewhat different in the
case ot an absolutely vicious and ugly
kicking cow, and yet we have no doubt
that the above treatment will subdue
them, although the attaching of the strap
would be attended with some danger.
HORSES AT REST.
These are some curious facts about the
disposition of horses to lie down. To a
hard working horse repose is almost as
great a necessity as good food, but tired
as he may be he is often shy about lying
down, even when a nice clean bed of
straw is provided for him. The writer
once rode a mare seventy miles in a single
day. The stable in which she was put
for the night was as comfortable in every
way as it could be made, yet she stood the
whole night through. She ate her oats
and hay and then went to sleep, leaning
forward with iier breast against the
manger. There are horses that have
never been seen to lie down, and if they
have ever done so it was only for a short
time and at an hour when they were not
likely to be seen. No marks have ever
been discovered upon their coats which
would indicate that they had been lying
I dnwn A hnrup is rpralled now that oc
cupicd for fifteen years, from the time he
was two years old, the first stall in grandfather's
stable. Up to the hour he diei
no one had ever seen him lying down,
and several times after wearisome drives
i of about eight or ten hours a watch was
placed on him to see if during the night
he would lie down, but he was never
caught in that position, and he would
not be tempted to recline by even the
sweetest and cleanest of bedding. He
died literally upon his feet. He was
taken sick, and in giving him a drench
from a long-necked bottle, with his head
pulled up to a beam, he suddenly fell
back and expired.
Unless a horse lies down regularly his
rest cannot be complete, and his joints
and sinews stiffen, and while it is true
that horses that sleep in a standing position
continue to work for many years, it
is equally true that they would continue
to work for many years longer and perform
their work much better if they
rested naturally. Young horses from a
country stable may refuse to lie down
_t i
wnen put luiu a sinuic m lvvvu, ?uu iue
habit may be confirmed unless inducements
are offered. Horses can be taught
to lie down, and they can also be taught
to be as neat and cleanly in their habits
as individuals.
It is a very rare thing for horses afflicted
with a disease that superinduces
fever to lie down. They will stand up
until nature becomes completely exhausted
and their limbs refuse to sustain
them. They have an instinct which
teaches them that if they lie down it may
be difficult for them to get upon their
feet again. A sick horse, because of his
evident knowledge of his own condition
and his inability to communicate the
symptoms and the nature of it, comJ
mends himself to human sympathy more
than any other animal. Horses have a
horror of death, and especially dread
death in their own kind. A horse may
be sick in company with a stableful of
horses and the others will not notice him
at all, but the moment he dies there is
' consternation throughout the entire
' stable. A horse may be absolutely fear!
less of every inanimate thing that comes
to his notice, but will be frightened beyond
measure at the sight of one of his
own kind lying dead by the roadside.
FAItil AND GARDEN NOTES.
Fat vegetables require fat land.
Don't plant in a restricteu area.
Girls, have a fine show of flowers.
Farm for both profit and pleasure.
Don't set aside your poorest land for
the garden.
Don't depend on the markets or your
neighbors for supplies.
How many tradesmen and men in other
lines of business are bankrupted to one
on the farm?
One bushel of cornmeal is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fattening
hogs.
"Management." This one word has
more meaning on the farm than is generally
suspected.
Tastes differ; if you are making butter
to sell you must consult the tastes of
your customers.
The farm may not yield big profits,
but is there any other calling so sure to
give a man a living?
It requires 13.80 pounds of skim milk
to produce one pound of pork when fed
with cornmeal; ratio 1.147 to fattening
hogs.
Skim milk could not be economically
fed to fattening hogs unless it was a
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
Stand up like a man and honor voui
calling. You may have wrongs, but
they are not in your farm, although some
of them may be in your iarming.
The sweet cream will make butter of
very mild flavor; if you prefer its flavor
to that of ripened cream, thea the question
is settled so far as you are concerned.
You can churn sweet crcam and get all
the butter out of it; you can churn
slightly acid cream and get all the butter,
or you can churn thick, sour cream and
get all the butter.
The seed-bed should be in perfect
condition, which means mellowed deep,
all manure thoroughly incorporated with
the soil, harrowed and plunked until all
clods are reduced fine.
If you gather the butter in the churn
before washing it you will have butter
with a decideu buttermilk flavor. There
is no objection to this?if one likes it?
but it is not true butter flavor.
All seeds, so far as possible, should
be sown by drills, of which there are several
excellent makes. The advantages

irapoitance, to say nothing of the
amount of ground that can be sown in
a day, which is a great saving of time.
Stable and yard manure is considered
by many a complete manure, and as such
indispensable for market gardening, but
it has been demonstrated that on some
soils a combination of stable man 17e, and
j commercial fertilizers have and do inj
variably produce the best, earliest and
: consequently the most profitable crops.
Have a place in which to deposit what;
ever will burn and will not soon make
rotten manure. A shallow trench of
; proper size should be made to hold the
ashes. When a burning has been made
cover over the trench with boards to prevent
the aches from being blown away.
This will give you a valuable fertilizer and
1 rid you of much rubbish that is but an
unsightly encumberuucc to any farm or
garden.
HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
ERADICATING INK STAINS.
Ink stains can be taken out of carpets,
rugs and other woolen goods if sweet
milk is applied to the soiled places
directly. First lay a sheet of blotting
paper over the place to soak up the ink,
then with a piece of cotton batting wash
off the place with milk,changing the batting
for a clean piece as soon as it becomes
much soiled. Continue this until the
ink no longer shows, then wash off with
hot suds, rinse with clean warm water
and rub dry with a clcan cloth.? HWiington
Star.
MIXING MATERIALS.
In the compounding of rcciues various
methods are employed for mingling together
the different ingredients, chief of
which are stirring, beating and kneading.
By stirring is meant a continuous
motion round and round with a spoon
without lifting it from the mixture, except
to scrape from the sides of the dish
occasionally any portion of the material
that may cling to it. It is not necessary
that the stirring should be all in one direction,
as many cooks suppose. The
object of the stirring is to thoioughly
blend the ingredients, and this may be
accomplished as well by stirring in one
direction as another.?Farm, Field and
Stockman.
PAPER FOR PILLOWS.
All England is crazy on the subject of
paper pillows. Tear the paper into verj
small pieces not bigger than the finger
nail, and then put them into a pillow
sack of drilling or light ticking. They
are very cool for hot climates and much
superior to feather pillows. The newspapers
are printing appeals for them for
hospitals. Newspaper is not nicc for
use, as there is a disagreeable odor from
printer's ink; but brown and white paper
and old envelopes are the best. As
they are torn stuff them into an old pillow
case until a sufficient quantity is had.
The easiest way is to tear or cut the paper
in strips about half an inch wide and
then tear or cut across. The finer it is,
.ho lirrhter it. mnkps the mllows.

AN EFFECTIVE TABLECOVER.
A very effective tablecover can be
quickly manufactured of a piece of sheeting
linen a yard and a quarter square, including
the fringe, which is made by
ravelling the linen to the depth of three
inches and knotting the top. A row of
feather-stitching, worked in heavy linen
floss, forms a heading. Two of the corners
diagonally opposite to each other
are decorated with three fern leaves, embroidered
in outline stitch; one curving
toward the left is worked with orange
silk, one toward the right with brown,
while between the two, interlacing both,
is the graceful-maiden hair fern in a very
pale shade of yellow green. The design
in the other two corners is a spray ol
sumach leaves wrought in crimson silk,
drooping toward the right, a spray ol
acorns and oak leaves in dark-brown, cx
tending toward the lett, ana oetween
them a cluster of rose leaves, in lighter
brown. It would be difficult to produce
a prettier piece of work with the same
outlay of time, skill and expense.?New

TO PRESERVE MEATS.
Commissioner of Agriculture Henderson
has fouud another excellent recipe
for preserving meat, which he is anxious
to have the farmers of Gcorsia make use
of, as he considers it an excellent one.
For 1000 pouuds of meat, mix with 100
pounds of salt, two pounds of saltpetre,
one and a half pouuds cloves, one pound
cayenne pepper, six pounds brown sugar,
and dissolve in water. Then boil slowly
and skim well, until the brine' is strong
enough to float an egg. If necessary add
more salt. Trim meat well and pack in
water tight barrels, and when the compound
is cold pour in until the meat is
covered, and weight it down so as tc
keep it submerged. Keep on hand enough
of the compound to add as it evaporates.
In four or five weeks the meat will be
ready to nang up, men taKe it oui, wasu
well and hang up. This should be done
iQ dry weather, and it would we well to
dry out with slow fires. When thoroughly
dry, take down and sew up neatly in a
covering of shirting or ducking, which
cover well with a paste made of two parts
lime and one part of wheat shorts 01
flour. See that the paste is put on thick
enough to exclude the air. Hang up in
cool, dry place, and the meat will keep
for years.?Atlanta Constitution.

Hill Climbing.
"I saw two girls with their escorts
walking up Corey Hill, yesterday," says
an observer of girls. "One of them
went up like a rubber ball, bouncing and
bounding at every step, chattering briskly
to her companion as she went and etopI
ping now and then to pant a little and
take a fresh start both with her bounding
way of walking and with her chatter.
Presently her friend came quietly along.
She was letting the young man beside
her do the talking, and she was mounting
the long hill with short, inelastic steps.
She used her heels as well as her toes in
going up hill." It is a good rule for
hill-climbing and one to be remembered
in going upstairs. Women doctors say,
and many women prove it in practice,
that by going upstairs slowly, with the
foot?heel and toe alike?put firmly on
each stair, one may arrive at the top of
four flights of stairs really rested, instead
of gasping for breath as when one runs
up stairs. Going upstairs is a good form
of exercise if one goes the right way to
get its benefits.?Boston Transcript.
The Oyster's Food.
The food of the oyster consists entirely
of microscopic beings and fragments
of organic matter, which are carried
by the currents of water to the
mouth of the animal at the hinge end of
the shell. Along with the food a large
amount of indigestible dirt or inorganic
matter is carried in. When this material
is examined through the microscope it
is seen that the oyster subsists largely
upon what scientists call "diatoms"?
one of the lowest types of moving plants
which swim in the water, encased in minute
sandstone cases or boxes of the
most delicate beauty of workmanship.
"When these have been found in the intestines
of the ovster thev have usually
had their living contents dissolved out
by the action of the juices of the stomach.

For Liver Disease, Biliousness, Indigestion,
Scrofula or any blood-taint or disorder,
the "Golden Medical Discovery" is
tide only remedy possessed of such superior
curative properties as to warrant its manufacturers
in selling it, through druggists,
under a positive guarantee that it will
either benefit or cure in every case, or
money paid for it will be refunded
It's a legitimate medicine, not a beverage
; contains no alcohol to inebriate, no
syrup or sugar to derange digestion. As
wonaerful in its curative results as in its
peculiar composition. It stands alone,?
vncomparable! Therefore, don't be fooled
into accepting something instead, said to be
" just as good," because the substitute pays
the dealer a better profit.
The equal of the " Golden Medical Discovery
" has not been invented ; if it ever is, it
won't be sold for a less price than what the
" Discovery" costs, viz: $1.00, or six bottles
for $5.00. It's a concentrated vegetable ex
