Diseases or Young rigs.
The season is at baud when diseases of
young pigs ate prevalent, and many
losses occur through ignorance and ne
Sleet of the breeder. The supple
mentary cause of three-fourths of the
damns that occur among young pizs,
according to a correspondent la Sicine
llrettlers'' Journal, are canker, co!ds,
thumps and scours. lie says :
We place canker, or canker sore
mouth, first on the list, as it is the re
sult of the impaired condition of the
blood in the sow, the impurities la
which are taken Into the pi through
the milk of the dam, and on the
thorough impregnation of the system of
the uig with this poison, these cankerous
sores break out, usually followed by
death. What excuse has a breeder for
permitting the systems of his brood
sows, through lack of proper fooas. to
oeconie so deranged that their blood.
Instead of being pure and life giving,
is rank poison ?
The second cause of death is colds ;
ia fact a cold is the primary Cause of
the illi of young pigs. The best c?re
and management are often unable to
prevent this disease appearing, and it ia.
to a certain extent, excusable. The
sudden changes in the weather, over
exertion and sudden cooling off will of
ten introduce it. Tne best remedy is
external vigilance and the careful use of
a few simple remedies.
The next disease is thumps. It is
claimed no be "fatty degeneration," a
heart trouble and Indigestion. The pri
znary aad first cause for thumps is to be
found In the derangement of the
digestion. The pig is naturally a
glutton, and will gorge itself, time
and again, on any feed suiting its taste.
In some cases It is prominent in both
the heart and lungs, and in other cases
but slifchtly attackicg one of these or
gans but very strongly defined in the
other. The u?u;l course of this dis
ease is first, stupidness and inuctiveneJ3,
followed by varying appetite, then a
cough, more or less prominent, depend
ing on its cause, whether a stomach
cough, result of dyspepsia, cr lung
cough, result of cold, whieh the pig is
made liable to through its diseased cons
diticn. Then the thumping of the
sides, which indicates a critical period,
and demonstrates that both the lungs
and heart sre more or less affected. It
takes several days before this disease
reaches the thumping stage, and to the
experienced the symptoms are very
clearly defined, and the following steps
taken to prevent further development.
The pigs are exercised regularly in
warm, clear weather ; their pens sre
kept clean and dry, and they tre given
all the sunshine possible to get. This
matter of sunshine is an important
thing. The next step is to reduce the
feed of the sow, if pigs are suckinn.
If not. reduce feed of the pigs. The
ind pPS'Jon is corrected by giving small
doteiof nux vomica, a littl turpentine
and sulphur, the amount of which and
frequency of the doses depends on the
condition of the pigs, wbecL must Le
determined by the breeder. If the pigs
should commence to thump, then small
doses of digitalis must be given It will
be noticed, by the close observer, that
about the time these obstructed respira
tions appear, there is a slight fever,
rapidly increasing as the disease pros
greases. To combat this, sweet spirits
of niter, aconite or turpentine is used,
quantity and frequency of doses deter-
mmeu cy conamon or p;g. XDe suc
cessful treatment of thumps, and in
act all diseases of pigs, necessitate
' careful nursing, and close attention,
and the exercise of a certain amount of
knowledge, which it is to be hoped all
breeders have.
l'earh Tree Borers.
The borer and the yellows are greatly
interfering with the cultivation of the'
ptach in many sections where it was
formerly profitably raised. This insect
sometimes attacks young trees in the
nursery so as to render theia unfit for
transplanting, but more crmmonly
when they have come into bearing.
The egis are ..deposited in the summer
at the base of the trunk near the collar,
where the bark is soft. The best pre
ventives are watchfulness and caro iu
ketpiug that portion of the tree in a
condition that is uninviting to the pests.
Scrape away the earth In the spring and
occasionally swab the collar of the trees
with strong soapsuds. This of itself
will be a 6uf3cient protection if fre
quently performed at the tight season,
although the kerosene emulsion, which
is not si) easily prepared, is usually rec
ommended for the purpose. After the
borers have made an entrance the proper
thing to do is to pick them out with the
romtof a knife or kill them in their
holes and rrevent future trouble iu the
manner stated above.
Barren torn Malks.
The extent to which the corn vleld is
reduced by barren stalks, siys Professor
Morrow, of the Illinois Stata university,
is greater than is generally supposed.
This loss varies from year to year, as
well as in different varieties. Violent
storms when the corn is In bloom may
prevent the fertilizttioe of many ears ;
Lis, of course, cannot be prevented.
But ProreiSr Morrow believes that the
productiveness of any variety may be
increased by preventing fertilization by
the pollen of barren sUlks by removal
of the tassel from these, or by cutting
away the stalks entirely so soon as it is
discovered that no ear is to appear.
This course is Impracticable in general
Held culture, but can be applied to small
p'ats especially designed for sed.
A Hint to Youog Men.
The only way by which capital can in
crease is by saving. If you spend as
much as you get, you will never be rich
r than you are. It is not what a man
gets, but what he s:ives, that constitute
bis wealth. Go, learn the first two
rules cf arithmetic ; learn addition and
subtraction. Add to your present capital
any amount you please ; subtract the
sum which vou add, and tell us if the
last amount will not be the same as the
tirst. Evtry man ahoutd, in .very year I
of Mi life. mtke Brne add:ti m to his'
capital. You sy yr.u get but little.
Never mlLd ; spend less lhan little;1
and then next year you will gt ruort '
for you wili have the prcfi: upou iha 1

How t Make a Tent. .
Buy nine yards of good, stout, yard
wide cotton cloth and cut into three
strips of three yards each. Sew these
strips together securely by overlapping,
and you wiU then have a atrip thrbe
yards square. Make a solution of
twelve ounces of alum in three gallons
of water, and soak the cotton ic it for a
day. Itinee itln warm rain water and
stretch it in the sun to dry. It will
then be waterproof.
Having reached your camping out
place, cnt two polee eight feet long, each
with a fork at one end. Sink the ether
ends in the ground about a foot and
beat the eartb well to keep them firmly
in place. These should be about eight
feet apart. Now cut another pole about
nine feet long and put it on the top of
the other two, resting in the forks. Cot
two more poles ten feet long for. the
sides of your frame, resting one end of
each pole on the cross pole and the
other end on the gronnd. Stretch the
canvas over the frame and tack it to
poles. Yon can make the sides of your
tent weather proof with the boughs of
cedar and other trees.
This is the simplest and least expen
sive tent you can have, and it will
answer your purposes fully. The inte
rior of the tent, however, would be a
little more roomy and comfortable if
you would put up a second frame in the
rear, similar to that in front, say two
feet high, and stretch the canvas over
that and hence to the ground.
Select sloping gronnd to put your tent
on, so that if it rains the water will
readily run off ; and also dig a little
ditch around the tent, with an outlet
running down the Incline. As the front
of the tent will be open unless you
choose to provide enough canvas to close
it you had better place it with the
front toward the northwest, for storms,
if you have any, will probably come
from the south or southwest.
The rude but described, for it is little
els, will no doobtseern a flimsy shelter
those who have never r-ccupied one, but
for pertect rest and the soundest of
sound sleeplog. you will 6nd it superior
to the b-st room in your city honse.
A Snake-Charmer's Martyrdom.
India has just lost a snake-charmer,
one Kondajee Muboojee. wbo fella mar.
tyr to his belief in his own powers. A
lad G years old, named Vittoo Ileorree,
was bitten by a cobra at Mazagon,
Bombay, and, as usual, a snake-charmer
inquired here the cobra had taken
refuge, and, on a woodpile being point
ed out, he removed the wood, found and
seized the snaKe, and endeavored to
make it b:te the dead boy, declaring
that if it did so the child would at once
be restored to life. Tor two hours be
persevered, but the snake refused to
strike tne body, and at last, irritated
beyond endurance turned and bit Kon
dajee in the hand. The snake-charmer
calmly placed the snake in a copper ves
sel and theu sat down. A vehicle was
s-nt for and the man placed inside, but
by the time he reached borne he was
dead. The story testifies strongly to
the belief of snake-charmers of India in
their power over tbe snakes and to the
exigence of a superstition thit the sec
ond bite of a snake will restore tbe life
that tbe riist has taken away. The
apathy of the Hindoo is evident by the
fact that the snaks-charmer used no ef
fort whatever to save bis own life.
Whether he thought th.t he was proof
against its ill effects was not slated in
the evidence givea at that inquest held
oa the tody of the child ; but it is clear
that ht had no belief in the virtues of
any antidote or mode of treatment. I;
is most probable that he was confident
in the powers of the drugs, ointments,
or charms he had previously used to
protect him. for the evidence of the
spectators showed that upon finding the
snake in the woodpile he had seized it
without the slightest hesitation. It is
certainly singular that a man accus
tomed to handle snakes should have
been so convinced that their bite bad
power to restore life as well as to cause
deth.
Instantaneous la teres t Indicator.
A machine by which the interest on
any sum from 510,000 to ?1. from ten
years to one day, at any rate ir cent.,
may be determined in thirty seconds, by
simply turning a knob, baa been patent
ed. An interest sheet is wound around
tbe rollers inide the machine, which
are rotated by the knobs at the side to
stop at the given amount desired, and
given rate per cent., as printed on the
interest sheet, this portion then appear
ing in the open space on the left hand
margin of the machine. Then tbe
smalt metal tablets ou the face and
across the center are thrown up with
the point of the pencil, for the time the
Interest is to be computed. This being
done, the required Interest is in plain
view. By the use of this machine all
of the mental and three fourths of the
physical labor is dispensed with. It is
quicker than books or charts. It is
safer than books or charts, tx-cause you
cannot see any figures but those you
wish to see. It keeps its own time.
Propagating Plants by Layering.
You can multiply
many vines and
tender plant as well as those of hard
ler
woods, by layering, which is done
. a -
by
oenaicg aown a branch and covering
the middle portion or it with soil and
fastening it down with pegs. In layer
ing roses and other hard wooded plants
and grapevines, cut a slight gash in the
under s:d just through the bark
At
this point the roots will form. This
18
a much more certain process than set
ting out slips, for in this case the par
ent vine is aiding in the formation of
the roots on tbe partly buried branch.
The best time is in tbe early summer
before Ihe wood becomes old and tough.
Many of the tenaer vine and plants
may be made to take root in pots.
A Xew York farmer slates that be
used only coal-gas tar to prevent tbe
ravages of the potato beetle. He pute a
gallon of tar in a tub, over which he
pours boiling water, which is allowed to
Sr-itl and cool. This is sprinkhd over
the vines with an ordiuary sprinkler.
A gallon of tar costing seventy -fire
cents suffices for several acres ot potatoes.

The Fann and Garden.
Do not allow water to stand about
tbe roots of evergreen and fruit trees.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of core when applied to the treat
ment of animals.
Some Philadelphia growers of begon
ias have bad great success with plants
by growing tbem in lumps of peat.
steeped in manure water.
Professor L. II. Bailey considers na
tive trees and schiubs preferable for
windbreaks. Of exotic trees, only tbe
Norway spiuce and apple are desirable
for windbrakes in Michigan.
A practical butter-maker says: "I
find that from open setting a can of
cream raised wben tbe cows are fed bay
and grain will make thirty pounds of
butter, for tbe same quantity wben tbe
cows are feeding on grass, twenty
pounds.
If eggs are the main desideratum in
keeping fowls, avoid bhort-Iegged fowls
of any breed. They rarely lay well tbe
second year on account of laying on too
much fat, while a fowl of good length
of leg will ordinarily lay well until
three years of age.
The sure way to break a ben from
eggeating is to cutoff her head. Pre
vent the habit, if possible, ty giving
nesis lined with straw and large enough
for the hen to move without breaking
the eggs ; also gather the ectgs daily
and use artificial nest eggs.
The fact is well known to all pains
taking cultivators that the mere stirring
of the surface (as with steel rake in gar
den, or slant-tooth barrow in lately
planted corn or potato field) soon as the
soil is dry enough to work after rain,
will destroy nine-tenths of the weeds
that have started but are not visible
except to close scrutiny. .
To much concentrated food will cause
tbe cows to lay on too much fat. Feed
less corn and more of other foods, such
aa oacs, rye bran and shorts, or mid
dlings, with plenty of bay, corn-fodder
and straw ; especially straw. Good
wheat straw, says an authority, is aa
good as hay when propeily cut and mix
ed with oatmeal and middlings.
"When a horse has a nail in his foot,
either picked up or the broken part of a
ahoe-nail, the lameness is peculiar. Tbe
animal holds up the leg ; when te
moves he puts the foot tenderly on the
gruund, resting it on the toe, and steps
slowly and carefully. "When this is
perceived tbe foot should be examined
At first the foot will not be hoi. but in
a few days inflammation will occur, and
unless the foot is cleaned and the nail
cut out ulceration may take place and
cause permanent iDjury.
In relation to the cow that sucks her
self, the better way would be to fatten
and betf her. Yon may possibly pre
vent her doing so by making a cage of
Siats to fit b?r neck, and large enough
so the cow cannot reach the udder with
her mouth. The only advice for the
cows so thin that you have to lift tbem
up at calving time, is to feed better
during the winter. Give the cows
equal parts by weight of bran and corn
meal, commencing with eight pounds
per day, with plenty of good baj, and
warm water to dtink. and gradually in
crease the feed to fifteen pounds per
cow per day.
To have good corn tbe soil should be
well plowed and thoroughly pulverized
before planting. The seed bed should
be put in good tilth. Xo less than three
kernels to each hill should be planted,
and tbe rows kept straight. More seed
will make it necessary to thin out the
stand, as more than three stalks in each
bill will not yield well. About tbe
time the corn is coming up, go over the
field with s smoothing barrow, aBd the
corn will come up much better, and
millions of weeds will be killed. A
free use of the cultivator or horse boe,
or anything to keep down the weeds,
must follow.
About Coffee.
To make a really good cup of coffee
has always been ranked among tbe fine
arts, requiring considerable skill and
experience. So much so in fact that
many persons have for a lifetime put
up with a decoction that ia coffee only
in name. With proper appliances it is
not all difficult to make tbe very best
cup of coffee. In boiling coffee we lose
all the delicate flavors contained in tbe
berry, and bring one all the noxious
qualities and bitter oils that tend to
make consumers dyspeptic and billions
A native of any of tbe countries where
coffee is gtowa would ridicule aad put
away in disgust what tbe average Amer
ican has grown accustomed to as bis
beverage. In Brazil, Ceylon or Java,
after roastiog tbe coffee it is ground to
a fine powder, and Instead of boiling,
very hot water is pouted through it and
filtered. This gives a beati.'ully clear
and pure cup of coffee, without any bit
ter or pungent taste. By grinding the
coffee very fine double tbe strength is
obtained, making tbe same quantity of
coffee go twice as far aa by the old-
fashioned way. There Is no waste in
the coffee grounds, every available part
of tbe coffee being used, and all tbe
food properties and delicate flavors
extracted. To prevent the fine grounds
from getting into the liquid coffee a
special textile fabric flilter is absolute
ly necessary, as no preforated metal
filter can be made fine enough to pre
vent the grounds from getting through.
A Self miking Cow.
It is fortunate that this bad habit Is
not often acquired, but afer it has been
it is a difficult matter to correct.
Among tbe many devices for this pur
pose, many of them cumbrous and un
weidly, a spiked headstall is as good
and as likely to make a lasting impres
sion as any. Wrought iron nails two
inches long, with fiat beads, are driveu
through the leather and held in place
by a second thickness of leather, which
is fewed or riveted ou over the nail
heads. After wearing this a few weeks,
sometimes a plain baiter without nails
will be sufficiently suggestive to prevent
the attempt..-If this will not effect a
cure it will be best to dispose of the
cow as soon as she gets in good condi
tion for the butcher.
Wiien butter ie gathered in the churn
in granular form it is never over-churned,
rounding it after it is in a lump
or large mass is what over-churns it.
