This is often constitutional, and ariees from breeding pigs so de fective. When young sucking pigs are affected in this vrnv it no doubt comes in this manner. The treatment is to apply a cotinter-irritnnt to the loins, such as turpentine, nibbed freely upon the back; apply once a day and give tho pigs a teaspoonful of powdered rosin in the food for each two or three, once a day for a week. Tigs so affected should never be used for breeding. . - Root I'rnnlim. The experiments were made on the apple and pear. An apple tree eight or ten years old, which had scarcely made any fruit buds, had done best when about hnlf the roots were cut in one sea son and half three years later, by going half way around on opposite sides in one year and finish at the next pruning, working two feet underneath to sever downward roots. It has alwavs an swered well, also, to Cut on snch trees all the larger and longer roots about two and a half feet from the Btem, leav ing the smaller and weaker ones longer and going half way around, as already stated. The operation was repeated three or four years later by extending the cut circle a foot or two furthcraway from the tree. By this operation un productive fruit trees become com pletely htndded with fruit r-pnrs and afterward bore profusely. This short ening of the roots has been continued in these experiments for twenty years with much success, the circle of i ots remaining greatly circumscribed. Tho best time for the work has been found to be in the latter part of August and beginning of September, when growth has nearly ceased and while the leaves are yet on the trees, causing greater in crease of bloom buds tho folio wing year than when performed after the leaves have fallen. London Garden. Common Weiisc In I lie I'oultry Ynrd. Common sense is too often uncom mon sense, and there is mote truth than novelty in this sentiment in its applica tion to poultry keeping. It is not my intention to criticise nonsensical ways, but to show ways sensible. Tho "poultry"' that everybody keeps are technically designated "fowls," or "barn-door fowls." As a rule they are kept in small flock?, fed chiefly on who t no farmer misses. On most farms a flock of twelve to forty hens will pick up a living without receiving a particle of grain from May to October, includ ing both months. Their food consists of insects, seeds and grass or weeds ; they need fresh water besides. What wonder is it that fowls thus kept ore demonstrably more profitable than'any class of stock, or any crop on the farm. This is the best way to keep fowls, provided they can bo induced to lay where their eggs can bp found while fresh. To accomplish this a house of somo kind is needed where the fowls may be shut in occasionally for a few days at' a time, so as to make them roost and lay in convenient places. If fowls can roost in tho trees, lay all over the farm and "dust" themselves in the road, they will almost surely be healthy, lay a great many eggs, and keep in good condition. Besides, every now and then a hen will unexpectedly ap pear with a brood of ton or a dozen, chicks, hatched under some bush where she had "stolen" her nest and done her hatching. That is all very well so far as the hen is concerned, but no one wants it to happen. We wish the hens to lay and sit where we can put what eggs we please under them for hatching and what is still more important, we wish to be able to collect the eggs for use or for sale daily. A fresh egg is a joy, a delight, a good gift cf heaven a 'perfectly good" e?g is an abomination. An egg, to be lit to eat, or for sale, must be fresh beyond a peradventnre, and utterly untainted with a suspicion of having' been brood ed or weathered. For this reason it is a most untidy thing to use natural nest eggs. Tho nest-egg after a while is almost surely gathered, and of course is not "right." American Agriculturist. Muck. That muck may bo of its greatest value lor it Las valuable elements of plant food in its structure it must be treated or brought into proper con dition, ro that thesa impoitant elements may become available to tho plants that aro to use them. The muck should be dug in the fall, and there is no Letter time than now, during this dry spell, when tho swamps aro dry and can be worked to tho greatest advantage. It was, in fact, the favorable condition for getting out muck that suggested the writing of this article, and therefore 1 must dwell upon the leading point. The end to be gained now is to get the muck out of tho bed, and to a place where it will be dry when the wet weather comes. A scow or flatboat with heavy runners is one of the best vehi cles for drawing the muck, being easily loaded and readily drawn by a yoke of oxen or span of horses. A tramway may in many cases be constructed from the bed to the heap. The muck should be left in the heap during the winter, that it may be acted upon by the frosts, thus bringing it to a fine state, when it is ready for tue in the stable as an ab sorbent of liquid manure. In this way the muck becomes incorporated w th the dung, and is improved by tho chemi cal changes that aro thereby induced. Muck needs fermentation, and if it can play the part of a holder or absorbent of liquid manure while undergoing the fermentation s, much the better. The natural course for muck that the greatest good may bo obtained from It is from tho bed to the heap; from the weathered heap to the stable or compost hap, with ferment ing dung, or both, and finally .to tho land. Muck treated in this way has been known to pay good returns for het labor expended upon it, especially upon land where there is a lack of vegetable matter or humus. There are a great many muck beds that it will not pay to work even in this way from a sanitary point of view. I have in mind a bed - that was close by the barn and the house "just the place to have one," the owner saul, and counted it fortnnate that his muck was so handy. The muck was drier and its place then was soon a pool cf stagnant water a perlect breeding ground of unhealthy odors, with mos quitoes (to counteract tho odors of the filth in the bargain). The excavation had to be filled in with Boil at a consid erable expense, and no more muck is mined on that farm. In many other cases the same fertilizing elements can be procured at less expense in other ways. Muck farming has not always paid, partly because of wrong mothods, and iu many cases it.will not under the best treatment. Study well the whole subject in all its bearings before count ing a muck bed as a rich tniao that only needs to be wot let d to bring wealth and prosperity.-Country Gentleman. -" ' ' Itrclnr, FtJFfr Tkhns with Milk.

Paying for the Chickens. Governor Murray tells a laughable story of his experiences in the Georgia march to the tea, which is worth re peating: " Speaking of tho famous march through Georgia," said the governor, " I tever shall forgot tho amount of money it cost us to keep an old woman from crying herself to death. Of course we had to subsist off the country as we h ent along, and we naturally took pos session of a chicken ranch kept by an old lady, who stood at the front gate with a broom and threatened to lick all of Sherman's forces if they did not move on. Now, chickens were considered as officers' meat, ond, as we were hungry, we went for tho3o old hens pretty lively. When she saw that her favorite fowls were being caught and killed she keeled right over and began to cry. Presently blie began to scream, and nnaiiyyou coum, near tfiat woman s yells clear to Atlanta. I sent the sur geons m to quiet her. but thev failed, and then all the officers took turns, but the moro attention paid her the more she howled. I then got pretty nervous over the noise, because the whole army would hear it, and they might suppose somebody was torturing the woman. Finally Sherman rode up and asked what was it all about, and when we told him he said: 'Give her a bushel of Confederate bonds for her hens, and see if that will stop her.' Acting on this hint I proceeded to business. We had captured a Confederate train the day before, with ,4,000,000 of Confederate money, and I hunted up the train at once. The money was worth about two cents on the dollar. Well, I stuffed about $500,000 in an old carpet-sack and marcued into the house. "'Madam,' said I, opening the sack, I'll give you $50,000 to quit this noise.' it was as still as death in a minute, and then lr face expanded in a broad smile. I laid the packages of money on the table, and I never saw such a. delighted woman. The effect pleased me, and I continued: ' General Sherman presents his compliments and Siuu.uw." l never in nil my life saw such a pleased old woman, and wound up bv dumping the contents of the sack right down on the floor and tell ing her that when it came to contribu tions to distressed females I could not be outdone by no man living. " She invited the officers to supper and she cooked every chicken cn the ranch and set out cider as free as water. We were having a pretty good time when a long, lank old coon came in, and she said it was her husband. Pretty soon his eye tell on the money. " ' Sarah,' said he, ' where in the deuce did you get all this truck V "A present from General ShermaD, Eaid she. " 'Tain't worth a continental cent. They're kindlin fires with it down at New Orleans. " The old woman rose up, her face as white as your shirt front, and her eye wasn t pleasant to meet. " ' So yon are the bilk that gave me this, aro you?' she called out, reaching lor the old broom. " The entire mess rose and started from that house. We never heard any more of her, and there isn't a man of the crowd who would meet that old woman for all that Confederate money, if it would bring 100 cents on the dol Jar at the treasury department, Wash ington."

A new method of preserving grain, recently discovered in France, it is said, has proven satisfactory. The cost of preservation is less than storage in a granary, and the wheat is safe from fire, fermentation, insects and cryptogamic vegetations. The United States Miller, in describing this method, soys that a sheet-iron cistern, which occupies little space and holds nearly BOO bushels and is worked by an air pump with a pres sure gauge to indicate tho degree of vacuum, comprise the wholo hermetic apparatus of preservation. One impor tant effect which results from tho nu merous and continuous experiments made is, according to the journal in question, that the vacuum not only kills tho parasitic insects and prevents vege tation, but dries tho grain at the same time. After a detention of seven months, wheat and flour inclosed in the apparatus, during experiments -at Vin cenues, it is reported, were withdrawn in a perfect state of preservation. Cyclone stories aro becoming as strange and improbable as those told of the gliding make or tho meek-eyed fish. The bulk of these stories comes from Kansas. The latest one is located in the vicinity of Abilene, where a mother left her infant strapped in a chair in the summer kitchen. A wind storm came up suddenly. From a dead calm a gale arose in twenty seconds. At tho first warning the mother hurried to look after her child, expecting to find it quietly drinking the contents of its thumb. To her amazement and ex treme horror, she saw baby and basket, pots, pans and buckets flying promis cuously along with the tornado. Tho wind subsided almost as quickly as it had risen, and the mother had the sat isfaction of seeing the basket drop right side up in a pile of hay about loO feet beyond the yard fence. She was much more gratified to seo that the baby had sustained no serious injury. Its appe tite was good immediately after the rescue. Harper's Weekly says that "th'e story of General Arthur's nomination for tho Yico-Presidency is exceedingly interest ing. After the stormy session that led to the dropping of General Grant and Mr. Blaine, and the nomination of General Garfield, it adjourned till even ing to consider tho question of Vice President. It was conceded that the nomination should be given to New York, and that the candidate must come from the Grant element. Three names were mentioned Levi P.Morton, Stew art L. Woodford and General Arthur. When the New York delegation met, the two former withdrew, and the lat ter was selected by a decided vote. But General Arthur objected, as it had already been agreed upon by Senator Conkling and his friends that he should bo chosen to succeed Mr. Ivernan in the United States Senate. Indeed, this re sult was almost certain. It was only after the strongest persuasion of Gov ernor Dennison, of Ohio, and others, that Geneial Arthur yielded his own wishes, and allowed his name to be used in completing the ticket." A foreign scientific journal remarks, as a enrious physiological fact, that al though open-air life is so favorable to health, yet it has the apparent effect of stunting the growth in early youth. Thus, while the children of well-to-do-parents, carefully housed and tended, are found to be taller for their age than the children of the poor, they are not eo strong in after years; the laborer's children, for instance, who play in the lonely country roads and fields all day, whose parents lock their Lumble doors when leaving for work in the morning, so that their offspring shall not gain entrance and do mischief, are almost in variably short for their age; the chil dren of working farmers exhibit the same peculiarity. After sixteen or eigh teenafter years of hesitation, as it were the lads shoot up, and become great, hulking broad fellows, possessed of immense strength. According to these statements, it would seem that in door life forcoi the growth at the wrong period, and thus injures, is it bo 7 You csn always judge tailor by the make ho wears, and a potter by the war; he makes. - .

Happiness is only an other namo for love, for where love exists in a household there happiness must also ovist, even though it has pov erty for its close companion; where love exists not, even though it be in a palace, happiness can never como. He was a coid and selfish being who originated the saying that "when poverty comes in at the door, loves flies out of the win dow," and his assertion proves conclu sively that he had no knowledge of love, for unquestionably the reverse of the axiom quoted is nearer tho truth.

Mr. Walton talked freely upon the matter and said : "After many years acdve experience 1 can safety sav that I consider St. Jacoiis Oil a remarkably good liniment for horses for anvthinz like sprains in the lar affections. Oil on dozens limbs, bruises and simi I hnve used Sr. Jacobs of horses, and can state knew it to ail. It is that J never now about six Hosjcroia. montha since I first commenced using that On. on my hones, and I tball continue to use It I happened to commence using Sr. Jacob3 Oil on hoics in tliii wnyi My father U over eiclity yean of e and la subject to many of the ailments incident to old age. Among other thin;; he has Kheumatia attucVs, pains tn his iimus nnu joints, ana acnes in ainercnt parts oi his body, lie commenced using St. Jacobs Oil revemi uionina since, aim anerruoDing nimseii ireciy with the liniment lilnlit and morning, ac cording to the printed directions, lie obtained tha most decided relief. Whenever he has any pain now he uses St. Jacobs Oil and it always drives mo pain away, isow i mny Know irom personal ODservuuon mat M not l o H7io U good for man U good for beatt.'

It weighs seventeen tons,' while the anvil block under it weighs 160 tons. With a full head ol steam it will strike a blow of ninety tons', but, as this tremendous weight is not always necessary in hammering, it can be made to strike as light as de sired. It has a thirty-eight-inch cylin der and nine-foot stroke. The ponder ous blows make the earth quake for a radius of nearly 200 yards. The big hammer is for forging steamboat shafts and other heavy work. ' Only tlnlf Aflvft, There are hosts of men and women who, to coin a phrase, are only half alivo. That is to Bay, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are norvons, weak, fidgotty and troubled by num berless small pains aud aches. In the presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality thsy seem mere Signiies. Suoh person are usually fond ot osing themselves, swallowing in the course ot the year enough drugs to stock any apothecary's shop of average dimensions. This, of course, defoats instead of furthering the end in view, viz., the recovery of health and vigor. Were they to .seek it from an unfailingsourco of vital ity, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their debilitated frames, the glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling, uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that grandest of all sauces, would give a relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and re freshing Bleep would crown the tasks of tho day. Men often jiulgo tho person, but not tho cause, which is not justice, but malice. Bonus Certiorate. It is no vile dragged stuff, protending to be ma.lo of wondorful foreign roota, barks, eto., aud puffed up by long bogus certificates of pre tended miraculous cures, but a simple, pure, effective modioino, mado of well-known valua ble remedies, that furnishes its own certificates by its cures. We refer to Hop BitterB, tho purest and best of niedicinos. See "Truths" and " Proverbs," in another column. We shall bo free from evil desires only when we arc pure in heart. Fon dtstkpsia, isdiokstion, depression of spirits and general dobility in thoir various furms, also as ft preventive against fever and ngue and other intermittent fevers, tho FEiinoruosriioitATEn Elixiuof Calisaya Bark, mado by Caswell, Hazard & Company, New York, and told by all druggists, is (io best tonic; and for patients recovering from fever or other sickness it has no equal.
