ivcwv-..'*\- mm-- ^ w ^-.,«.i,-~-' —_ \^ T\ \f\\ v FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD \Wintering- Young Pigs> Pigs born later than the first of Octo- ber -will need good care and skillful management to keep them in a thrifty, growing condition through the winter. This is particularly the case if you keep them in large numbers; and it is a good plan to sell all you can before winter sets in. People who only keep two or three pigs, to eat up the slops from the house, can handle \their pigs to better advan- tage than the large fanner or breeder. Such young pigs need milk, greasy- water, or broth and bread, or cooked potatoes with corn-meal pudding. These are more likely^to be liberally furnished from the kitchen when you have only two pet pigs than when you have two score or two hundred. Whatever method of feeding is adopted, let it be liberal, let them have all the good feed they will eat—no more, no less. Give them good, dry, comfortable quar- ters to sleep in; diaturb them as little as possible. Pigs are, in part, hibernating ani- mals. The more they sleep the better for them and their owner. \We do not want to fatten pigs in winter. We simply want to keep them in. healthy, growing con- dition; and the fatter they are when winter sets in, the easier it will be to carry them through the winter. Pigs well wintered are in good condition to thrive well on grass and clever next summer. They will do far far better on pasture alone than young spring pigs. We are not now advocating having young pigs come in the autumn: but. if you have them and caunofc sell them, or do not wish to, then take the best of care of them, and feed liberally. The most profitable pork we have ever made was from young pigs which had been well caied for through the previous winter, and the next summer fattened on clover pasture. Experiments have proved that corn is not the best food for the pro- duction of pork -when fed alone; but it is employed more extensively than all other grains, roots and vegetables to- gether. If used as a chief article in combination with other foods it is un- equaled by any other cereal or vegeta- ble that can be successfully grown over as great a range of country. Peas, barley, oats, mangels, potatoes and artichokes are undoubtedly valuable to a certain extent; but they can never su- persede corn for reasons obvious to every intelligent farmer. We shell corn and soak it in water twenty-four hours to soften it, because some hogs, with de- fective teeth, cannot thoroughly masti- cate it when Jlard, and consequently waste a. great deal. Soaked corn con- tains all the fattening qualities of cooked corn, and is as digestible. Soak- ing costs nothing; cooking is expensive. For soaking corn it is best to use two tanks or tubs. When a cheap power can be obtained, it would probably pay to coarsly grind or crack the corn: \twelve hours would then be sufficient for soak- ing. For variety, and to keep the hogs iu healthy, thrifty condition, feed pota- toes, mangels, peas, artichokes, oatmeal, and bran or middlings, mixed to a mush with skim-milk or slops; even if only in small quantities they will prove very beneficial. Aim to feed hogs for market profitably. Intelligent observation and experiment will show how it can be dorse. Remember that warm, dry, well- bedded sheds are absolutely essential to profitable feeding.— American Agricul- turist.

Manufacturers of fer- tilizers pay one cent per pound for bones, and they are probably worth more than this if ground fine and spread on ex- hausted fields. The cause of the laying of soft eggs is want of sufficient calcareous matter and the stimulating effects of pepper and warm feed. Some wheat screenings should be given in place of so much corn and potatoes, wliicfi are too rich in starch and defective in limeand other materials needed for eggs.

The Rural World says that with ordinary cows there is no trouble in the matter, because the milk secretions begin to fall as soon as the cow becomes pregnant, but with heavy and persistent\ milkers, if the feed is of the right kind and of sufficient quantity, there is no necessity for making any special efforts for drying of time it takes to fill their trunks. Tliey never come home from a shopping expe- dition without a good haul. Now, you wonder how they manage to take the goods unobserved. In the first place they are as quick as lightning, almost, and no movement of the clerk escapes their eyes. The latter, as a rule, is en- tirely unsuspicious of his richly attired customers, and waits on them with the calf. up the cow. The secretion will not be ... , , , ; ... large at all events, but the needed plnfe- ! nt ™ ost respect, while whole webs of silk phatesand nitrogen should be supplied*' \»* J\^ 8 of la ,f are beln S stolen ngnt for the building up of the frame of the before ms eyes. ° r \But how do they manage to conceal so much?\ \Easily enough. Under their rich and costly silk dresses are thick, heavy skirts, in which are huge bags or pockets. Cleverly concealed slits in the dresses communicate with these pockets, and the goods go in with the utmost ease. Generally one does the stealing while the other engages the clerk's atten- tion.\ \How do they dispose of the plun- der ?\ \Oh they deal with the 'fences' with 'whom they have made a previous agree- ment, and they till their orders just the same as any well-regulated business.«con» cern, only they have a larger margin to work on than regular business people. The fence generally keeps a store, and the women have their trunks taken there and unpacksd. This is the reason ped- dlers can sometimes undersell storekeep- ers. They get the goods cheap, and san. afford to sell cheap.\ •'Do men ever practice shop lifting- ?\ •'Very rarely. You see a man has no chance to conceal the goods. The male rogues prefer some other business, such as till-tapping, 'shoving the queer,' or better still, exploring the vaults of some rich banker. The old method of enter- ing a house through the scuttle is not practiced now as much as formerly.\ \What means are commonly employed in effecting an entrance?\ 4 'Skeleton, keys are mostly used* Sometimes a man gains access to a house during the day and at night lets in an Farm And Garden Notes. With the seeds out pumpkins are ex- cellent for milch cows, and when cooked are equally good feed for the early fat- tening of hogs. There is no more promising \field in the production of new small fruits than the growing of seedling gooseberries of the American species. Tree planters should learn to know that a well grown yearling is usually the best tree to plant. Such trees have sot been trained into any form, and they are more susceptible to the operations of the planter. Many old pastures cannot be conven- iently .plowed. If free from weeds, har- rowing the bare places late in the fall and sowing a little timothy and June gras3 will insure a much larger amount of feed next season. Fertilizers aid nutrition, and in this way assist a tree or plant in its struggle with injury from insect attacks, or the attacks ; of disease from any other cause. In this way alone fertilizers aid in the destruction of insect pests. It is well to have one or two late hatches of chickens. With a warm place during winter they will be ready to begin laying'early in spring, and will .continue laying later in summer than those which hatch earlier, thus insuring eggs during a longer season. Push the fattening hogs as rapidly as possible whi.e warm weather lasts. One bushel of grain fed early will make more pork than five pecks will when severe weather comes on. Young pigs are- es- pocially affected by the coid, and it is difficult to make the pen warm enough for their profitable late feeding. It is not generally known that refuse tobacco, including stems, has a consid- ; erable value as manure. In places where tobacco is grown or manufactured on a large scale, this ref ase tobacco can some- times be hud for little more than the cost of drawing away. It is very rich in the mineral elements of plant food. Now that the time has come for put- ting cattle in stables some arrangement should be made for saving th& liquid manure. If the animals are kept on a floor it should be tight, with a gutter in the rear descending to some p.ace where the liquid will fall into a barrel or cis- tern. This liquid manure can be best applied by pouring it on the compost heap. Where clover has been long grown and allowed to mature seed many of. these. will fall on the ground and remain until the favorable circumstances come for them to germinate. With every plowing some of these will be turned to the sur- face, and in some cases enough to make a fair seeding. On land where such seeding can be depended on farmers need not sow as much clover seed next spring. The wide difference in views of farmers as to the value of salt as a manure is due mainly to variation in the natural fertility of the soil. If there is not latent plant food for the salt to make\available it will do little good, as it is not properly a manure in itself. On heavy soils abounding in vegetable matter salt is beneficial to crops, but it is by enabling them to exhaust the soil more rapidly. A writer to the Indiana Farmer says he cures heaves in horses by withholding Lay and substituting green food instead. He then makes a ball, as large as a hulled walnut, of equal parts of balsam of fir and bilsam of copaiba, giving the ani- mal one of the ,ual!s night and morning. It is suggested, also, that the grain al- lowed be slightly moistened and sea- soned with a little salt before ieedihg. Around every house there will be found more or less bones, thrown out from the kitchen, and there are also addi- ] Household Hints and Recipe*. Delicious filling, for a pie is made by stewing some prunes until they are very soft, remove the stones, sweeten to your taste, and add, for one pie. the well- beaten whites of two eggs; heat with the prunes until thoroughly mixed. Bake with two crusts, or if you can get it, use whipped cream in place of the upper crust. When roasting lamb or fowls, if you do not like the flavor given by thin slices of salt pork or of bacon, which are usually put over them, take some hard butter, roll it in flour, and separate it into small lumps and lay it here and there on the meat. This will give rich- ness and flavor to the liquid with which you baste them. To clean old marble or alabaster im- merse the objects for two or three days in water to soften the dirt, lime, etc. Then take them out and clean them with a brush. When cleaned in this way as well as possible put them in a mixture of one part of concentrated muriatic acid and three parts of water, until they ap- pear perfectly clean. Beef dripping, which is so useful in place of lard in many dishes, should be clarified; this may be very readily done by pouring boiling water over it, and stirring it so that the impurities will be washed out, and will settle to the bot- tom. Lei; it cool, and the drippings will rise to the top; if it is not quite so clear as you would like to have it, put it into - a clean sauce-pan, ancTafter heating it, strain, it through a piece of muslin. Boiled Indian pudding is improved for some people if suet is added to give it richness. Chop a quarter of a pound of beef stiet very fine, add an equal quan- tity of sugar, one teaspoonfull of ginger, half a teaspoonful of salt, enough sweet milk to moisten the meal, add a tea- spoonful of baking powder, or about a cup of sour milk and a teaspoonful of soda. This should boil in a bag ior at least three hours, and be served hot with sauce. • A nice dish for dessert is made by soaking half a pint of tapioca in cold water lor two hours, then let it boil gently until it softens, slice canned peaches and put into a pudding dish, and pour the tapioca over them. Bake until the tapioca is perfectly tender; serve with sugar and cream. Dried or evaporated peaches may be used for this dish, and. if they are properly eooked and softened it is almost as good as when the canned fruit is used. An excellent pudding is .made in this way: Cut apples into halves, peel and core them, put some dates or prunes from which the stones have been re- moved in the place of the cores; cover them with pold boiled rice; moisten the rice well with milk and water, putting in enough so that tho apples will not burn down on the bottom of the dish; bake in a moderate oven for an hour; cover the pudding dish if there is danger of the rice becoming too brown; serve with sauce made of one well-beaten egg, one pint of milk, one cup of sugar, a little grated nutmeg or mace. The Lapps in Summer. The Lapps seemed to consider the in- terior of their houses somewhat stuffy on a summer night, for they were all lying in the open air, wrapped in their rugs of reindeer-skin—men, women and children, and the old grandmother of all the Lapps. The men wear tightitrousers and jackets of untanned leather, as do also the chil- dren, and the women have a sort of loose blouse- of the same material, stop- ping above the knees, their legs being swathed in cloth, bound with long strips of leather. They are a very unprepossessing race of quaint, elfish-looking little creatures, with straight, sandy-colored hair, small gray eyes. The men have stubbly inus= taches, suggestive of a retired tooth- brush. They are all undersized, the average height of the men being five feet, and the women four and a half. When the others had departed to seek the reindeer, we made friends with a woman who was by herself in a small grass hut, and who very proudly ex- hibited her new-born baby-^-a queer lit- tle creature, with a yellow, leathery- looking face. The babies are strapped carefully on to boards, and so carried on the maternal back, after the manner of the Indian papoose.— Oossdl's Family Magazine. The Manicure's Art. The Parisian fashion of having a pro- fessional manicure polish and point the finger-nails has become surprisingly prevalent in New York. At the best knowa establishment in town there are, beside the proprietors, about a dozen young women assistaats. The \patient\ on his arrival is shown into a reception* room, elegantly furnished, where he awaits his turn. When it arrives.he is ushered into the operating-room and placed in an easy chair with a table at- tachment, oh which are jars, brushes, sponges, files and various little ivory im- plements. The finger-tips are first soaked in cologne water, then covered alternate- ly with a salve and powder. Then fol- lows the polishing, filing and shaping. The whole performance \lasts about an hour, and costs one dollar. When it is finished the patient's nails are fit ob- jects for preservation in the Smithsonian institution. ^New York Mailand Express.

Together they noiselessly do the house. In the morning the in- mates find their treasures gone, and the papers chronicle another 'mysterious robbery.'\ \How do bank robbers manage to open safes which are secured with com- bination locks!\ \They don't undertake to unlock the safes. They simply blow them open. There is another way of getting money out of the bank, however, which is more popular and not attended with so great a risk.\ \What is it!\ \A man dressed in an office coat and skull cap stands in the hall leading to some large banking establishment. A lady enters- and draws §300 or perhaps $400. As a rule she will place the money in her bank book, if it is in bills. She is just about to enter her carriage when she is touched on the shoulder. She turns and lo, our friend of the skull cap stands before her. 'Exuse me, madam,' he says, 'but the clerk has made a mistake, and begs that you will return the book a moment. 7 She handsel him the book and money. He disappears in the bank, and is seen ho more. The lady waits Until tired, visits the bank and finds she has been swindled. The clever operator simply passed through the bank and out of another dooi\ wdere an accomplice waited with coat and hat. In a moment they were lost sight of in the throng. In nine eases out of ten money stolen in this manner is never re- covered; It is an old game but people are slow in learning it.\ o Children wear wide lace collars. Entire birds, with the feet turned up, are used for trimming hats. Children of both sexes wear white dresses and wide ribbon sashes. The number of young lady physicians in Germany is rapidly increasing. The-empress of Germany has not been able to walk for eighteen months^ For young ladies' wear have been pre- pared black costumes with red waist- coats. Basques of Caroubier velvet are worn over skirts of ecru veiling embroidered in many colors, Spanish girdles of irridescent bead- are a special feature for black house or dinner costumes. Dresses for house wear are fashionably made in fenciful styles that borrow ideas from all nations. Wild flowers and grasses are used for bridesmaids' boquets, and also for gar- nishing the dresses and hats. Figaro jackets of velvet gauze are worn over silk, satin or lace skirts of any color for dinners and small parties. An English furrier has made up collars and muffs of skunk skin and has put the head of the animal on the muff. The Women's Herald of Industry pubs lishes a list of twenty-sis females who wear tfdwsers and are adherents of Belva Lockwoocl. The lady nurses selected for service with the Nile expedition all wear the silver-gray cloaks and bonnets of the nursing sisterhoods In many dresses a fold of red or of pale yellow velvet is basted inside the collar, and sometimes extends down the front beyond the edge of the buttons. The blouse waist is used even for silk frocks and looks very pretty with a vel- vet waistcoat. The belt worn with such costumes may be of velvet or may be em- broidered with beads. White velvet and China crape make pise of the most exquisite costumes for a •bride.

Though barely fourteen years of age she is six feet five inches in height, weighs 252 pounds and has only just commenced to grow. Lace is lavishly worn again, but in this century the demand for it is confined to women, whereas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries men, too, expended huge sums on ruffles and wristbands. In 1090 the expenditure of William III. for lace was §8,015; in 1694, nearly $10,000; in 1695, |12,000. Queen Anne' also lavished money on Mechlin and Brussels. Mme. Sophie Kovalevsky, of Russian birth, fills the chair of mathematics at Stockholm university. Most women are said by the professional wags to object to the telling of their age, but it is to the glory of this intellectual ornament of her sex that she holds one of the highest positions among the learned at the age of thirty. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL Oil is now extracted from the seeds of grapes in Italy. Young grapes yield most, and black kinds inore than white. Experiments to test the utility of the electric light in discovering wounded soldiers on the field of battle were re- cently instituted by the Society of the Bed Cross, of Geneva. A German chemist has obtained a new link between the vegetable and animal kingdom in the shape of animal gum closely resembling the plant gums in its physical and chemical properties. From observations taken from twenty- eight vessels which crossed the Atlantic last year, it h'as been ascertained that the Gulf Stream was at a greater average temperature than in any year of records* A Jersey City man buys cracked and spotted eggs in New York. He uses the yolk, together with a secret substance which keeps the mixture from spoiling, as an oil to soften calf and kia leathers. He claims that it is far better than neats- foot oil. He uses an average of fifteen barrels of eggs per day. Professor Young states that recent re- searches show it to be extremely doubt- iul whether any portion of the moon's surface ever reaches a temperature as high as 100 degrees F., although Lord-Rosse estimated'that some parts must rise to 500 degrees during the lunar day of a whole month and fall to 100 degrees be- low zero at night. According to the Drayman, the Jap- anese are threatened with severe losses on account of the extinction of the lac- quer industry. The tree from which tho varnish is made is disappearing. An old law compelled the people to rear lacquer trees, but it is not now in - force. An- other law compelled every person who cut down any kind of a tree to plant two in its place. This also has become a dead letter, and the native newspapers fear the deforestation of japan. The trichina is usually derived by man from the flesh of the pig. ft exists in the muscles enclosed in microscopic cases. If pork be eatea uncooked or partially cooked, the cases are dissolved and the trichinse become sexually ma- ture in the intestines; the young are produced and burrow their way into the hiuscles, where they become encysted, la burrowing they cause great pain and fever, and sometimes death. The adult worm is about one-twelfth of an iaeh long. __'_. There are 2,000,000 head of cattle and sheep in New Mexico. Labrador. One feature of the Labrador coast stfikes every observer—the absence of human beings; and not only are they not here, but the back-country is a bar- ren waste, given up to the wild animals and probably never destined, from the rigorous nature of its winters, to become the permanent home of a white popula- tion. The occasional visitor is a hunter or sealer. In some of the bays Esqui- m?.ux live permanently. ' There are sup- posed to be 4,000 in all Labrador, but they are fast dying- off. At Battle har- bor there is a 'town, and the place is a famous shelter for the fishermen who venture into this northern country. The houses are all small and rude, and every- thing is given up to the fishing interest, every available bit of ground being de- voted to racks and stages for drying fish. In the southeast portion of the place an Episcopal church was consecrated about thirty years ago, and had for its first pastor a nephew of Wordsworth, the poet. There is another church at Fox harbor, and here the visitor from the south finds a genuine Esquimau hamlet, •with its kayaks, igioes and all. The nearest mail station from here is Batteau harbor, and from here the fisherman can start IE any direction and find all the sport desirable. On Sandwich bay there is a mountain about 1,500 feet highjfrom which a fine view of the surrounding country can be had. Two rivers, West and Eagle, empty near here, that pro- vide salmon that would make the Resti- gouehe country fisherman open their eyes. The trout attain a large size, and sea trout are extremely plentiful. At the head of what the natives call Natsbuetoke bay are the Narrows—a body of water surrounded by high hilly walls, forming a perfect gateway, dark, gloomy and impressive-. On the Nar- rows is the Hudson Bay company's post of Rigolitte, and about 150 miles from here is the famous port, known as North- w«8t, where it is said the Cree nation, that have been such terrible enemies to the Esquimaux, first began to trade with the whites. The Moravians deserve credit for most of the missionary work done here. They have established a num- ber ofaiisssions, converted nearly all the natives, made them give up polygamy and marry in a Christian way* As in many other cases, however, this refining process is dearly bought, since it seems that from, thetime of the Moravians the natives have been gradually growing less, and are in a fair Way of disappear^ ing altogether. It is probably not just to lay the deterioration of races to re- ligious advisers, but between the mis- sionaries, the traders, students of eth- nology, and what not,native races have & hard time. In Labrador the natives gather about the missions iii winter, and are educated in the mechanical arts, and carry on a regular business with the Moravians, furs being the principal ar- ticlei of trade. ^$fow York Evening Post.

Among the capital operations performed by him, are: Amputation of ths thigli-bone in the case of Abraham Eisvvortli, Port Ewen, \Ulster Co., If. X.; amputation of the ann, case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rondout, JS\. \¥\., and the operation of lithotomy, (removal of stone from tiie bladder), in the case of Simon Tiet- sell, of Kingston, and tlie removal of the eye for Oscar Graigg, of Rosendale, Ulster Co., K Y. These are a few of many. AH these persons are now in the bloom of Ii3altb. Dr. Kennedy does nos hesitate to say that the happy result of these and other cases of a sim- ilar character, was due to the use of the \Favorite Remedy.\ It was this thatpurified the Blood, regulated the Liver and Kidneys, and thus gave tone and strength to tlie sys- tem, and in this way preventing a return of tiie disease -which had necessitated a resort to the surgeon's knife. \Dr. Kennedy's Favor- te E,emedy\ fur sale by all druggists.
