J & CO., When the fever peculiar to Brazil seize* upon a new comer,said the friend who told me this story, it deals hardly with him. 8o it was with me. I was { u*t conscious that I was not likely to ive. yet not strong enough to think of any of tha many preparation* I should have made if my hours were ■ um bered. I had sunk into a heavy feverish half sleep, through which I heard some one say, "He will go off like that,” and was beginning to dream without being en tirely unconscious of my surrounolnga, when the door of our long, low, wfcite- waehed room opened and a lady en tered. She was a woman with dark eyes, and golden hair, with a bit of blue about it somewhere. She carried a bowl in her hand. The bowl was of thin transparent china rarely seen, painted with loaves and bods of brilliant colors, and here and there a gorgeous sort of butterfly. It was full of water, the purest and clearest I ever saw. "Are you tbir*tjr?” she asked, aa •imply aa a mother might ask her child. "Yes, m&dame,” I answered, "and the doctor will not let me drink.” “But I will,” she said. She put the bowl to my lips; ore she withdrew it it was empty. “Good-night and pleasant dreams,” she said, anu smiled and left me. I slept then sweetly, dreamlessly, for I knew not how many hoars. -When I awoke the lever was gone, and I rapid ly recovered strength. One morning I •aid: "I should like to thank that lady, for she cured me with her petty boin of water.” V My companions "There’s bee a no topmaa months,” ctM of ttMfp ajfiL was a dream. Oneofyohr Iff*dreams; quinine did tB* business lo^yon.” It was hard to convince me, but at last they proved to me Oiat at least they had seen no wdQban; that no one K ve me anything to drink, to their owledge; and 1 began to believe in ministering aognls. H was *• -certain to me that I had seen this fair, tall, dark-ered lady, with her blue-veined iiands nolding that carious china bewi, as it was certain that I had been ilk However, many other mattare! en grossed my thoughts.

THE STOCK Von POOR FARMERS. In the great majority of coses hogs are the most profitable animals for farmer* of small means to raise. They can get returns from them quicker than from bone*, cattle, and sheep, and this is a most important consideration. Pig* dropped early in the spring can be made to weigh two honored pounds each by midwinter, when pork is in the greatest demand. Horse* can not bo sold to persons who desire them for work till they ora about 4 years old. Few farmers of small mean* con wait that length of time for pay for their la bor and farm products. Calves of the beet breeds that have excellent skelter, paatures of tame gross and clover, and plenty of groin, may be put in good condition for the butcher when they ora 3d month* old. Farmer* of small moans, however, and especially those who live in a section of the country that is newly settled, have not the fa cilities for fitting cattle for the market at so early an age. They generally have poor shelters for their stock or none at all. They have nothing but wild grass to furnish pasturage or hay. They can not easily obtain animals ef improved breeds to keep. They may keep sheep to better advantage, as they can obtain money for the sales of meir fleeces when the lambs are 1 year old. They ean also sell some early lamb* in the fall, ft requires considerable capital, however, to get a rood start with sheep. The purchase of fifty ewes and one bock calls for more money than a poor man who Is paying for his place and supporting a family ean raise. He ean, however, obtain half a dozen sows with pigs, and from them raise sufficient pork to meet his financial wants. Pig* multiply so quickly that the expense of mtting a large number is slight Ths breed can be improved in a short time and at a small cost It costs less to provide suitable ftel- ter for hogs than for any other animals kept on farms. Daring the seesot of quite sold weather they require to be kept dry and warm, but shelters nay be built for them of very cheap mster- ial*. It Is not necessary to emytoy mechanics tom* up building* to Pro tect hogs. The walls may be built of logs, stone, or very cheap lumber. The roof may be covered with straw laiion poles. If the drainage is good no fbor 4s needed. A larger number of firm products may be utilized by feedng them to hogs than to other aninal*. They will gain daring the summei if they have plenty of clover or tenler gras*. They will eat and derive bme- It from all kinds of grain, vegetatlcs, fruit and milk from which no use ]an be made. They will eat nuts and uild fflafita, End win devour vermin, nee labor is required to harvest aad pT*]pre food for hogs than for other aztimjl*. They will aig artichokes as they re quire them for food. They will slell corn from the cob and cat the head* of all the small grains. They are its* particular than other animals about be way their food is prepared. The htg is not a dainty animal.

The toealal qufred on a farm chiefly devotodto the production of wheat will cost;more than all the tools needed on a fain of the seme size that ft devoted • the raising of hogs, and the “"T— 1 - aoee- aary to stock it. There is little trouble about mfket- tng hogs in any port of the west, ‘here are buyers in almost every towfi that has a railway station or a steaifcoat landing. A farmer can change logs into money quicker than ho can oolZ Hogs can be slaughtered, packed, and held for a rise in the market mch easier than beef or mutton. Boefand mutton bring the highest price fben they are in the fresh *tate, but prk brings more after it is cured. Nerly every tamer who desires and has the meena to do so can sell his *»ff re dact* at home directly to oonsomrs some time during the rear. The jao- tic# of selling nearly all the hogs i a neighborhood alive as soon to they ire fattened and of taking them to sme large city to be slaughtered and pik ed, has become so common that tire ft rarely pork enough left In a ta- raftiug district to supply the tnhii- tants. Every spring and summer U^b quantities not only of lard, hams, ad bacon, but pickled pork are sent fan toft city to the districts from which to hogs tost produced them came. May farmers who have the mesas to wt six months will in many cates be laie gainers by slaughtering their ho^ curing the meat, nd trying ont ft lard and keeping them to supply te local demand, which will be brisk in ft course of a few months after the tie hogs are ordinarily sold.—Cki&o Time*. 5 INCRXAXK OF SILO*.

The fodder toiefly used in Scotland this year is torte, meadow and other grass, and the pressure supplied mainly by dead weights, in England some extensi tests ore being made in tHe preserva tion of maize. Mr. Wood, of Merton, Who has taken an active part In enift logo pursuits, has tried maize two soo^ ocssive yean with satisfactory results; the first year the maize when put into the silo was wet and cold, and the sec ond year hot and dry. DETECTION or OLEOMARGARINE. Dr. Thomas Taylor reports to the de partment of agriculture that he has mode a series of experiments with oleo margarine of different fats, using a va riety of acids to ascertain what per manent change of color would take place by oxidation, etc. Of the various acids employed, sulphuric acid gave the most satisfactory results. The test is a very simple oue. If a few drops of lulphurio acids be combined with a small (juantity of pure butter, the but ter will assume, first, an opaque whit ish-yellow oolor, and, after the lapse of about ten minutes, it will change to a brick red. Oleomargarine made of beef fat, when treated In the same man ner, changes at first to Hear amber, and, after the lapse of about tuontjr olnutes, to a deep crimson. That the changes in color do not arise from the action of the sulphuric acid on the ar tificial coloring matter (annatto) is cer tain, as I find that when annatto is combined with sulphuric acid a dark dnish-grecn color is produced, entirely unlike any of tha changes mentioned. Owing to the active properties of the sulphuric add,la making these tests, a glass rod 4||ftld be used in eorabin- ing these subitollces. % WWmvvwwwp taws the The others ffiTes been 6,800 feet.

Tho band-drill or breast-drill, origW nelly intended for the hand-drilling •rtalft has taken ft* place amevf vraod* working tool*. In many taataMM it ha* displaced the bit-brace, or at I*Mt ha* fillod a requirement left torily supplied hr the tdt-braee.

It has Us advantage, also, in the more natural motion of the haad—thu vertical crank movement instead of the koriaootal crank motion. A drilled hole in wood, for whatever purpose, ft better than a bored hole. The drill cuts a clean hole; not merely finding Us way between the fibers by displacing them, but removing the material entire as it advances. The gimlet form of wood-borer is crude at best; a thread at the end is supposed to enter the solid wood, and by spiral fric tion pull the cutting portion alter It. This cutting portion is a twUt like a twist-drill or anger, supposed to deliver the ships, which It never does deliver. The pressure of the hand ft neoeseary to force the gimlet into the wood, and the pull of the hand ft required to re lease it and empty the chips. The drill cut* a oleen bole, and has none of the objections of the gimlet Unlike the gimlet it may be resharpened so long Its speed in the breast-dim os it lasts. 1s very much greater than that of the gimlet in the btt-braoe.
