hogs os GRAaa.
Mr. D. W. Thomas strikes a good key in
the following:
If hogs have plenty of grass in summer,
and about half the gTain they will cat.
they will fatten rapidly; and my experience
and belief are that three poands of pork
can lie made from less grain in this way
than one pound can be in cold weather
with a hog in a close pen. The grass is
cooling and loosening, and counteracts the
feverish properties of grain.
Another important consideration iu
favor of such a diet is the cost, which is
merely nominal as compared with grain
alone. Free access to water and a cool,
clean shade are essential to the comfort
and consequent growth and thrift of the
pigs. The hog delights a cool, damp local
ity, is very sensitive to heat and cold, and
sufiers severely from exposure to either.
Any unusual exercise will be fatal to a hog
that is fat, on a hot day, if he has not free
access to water.
Hogs are not apt to root when they have
plenty of grass. The}" should be allowed
to have all the grass they will eat as early
in the spring as possible; and clover or
I tame hay is good for them in winter. They
are fond of it. Hogs that have run in grass
all summer can be shut up in a pen and
fed to advantage six weeks or two months,
bnt no longer. A pig should never be
ailowed to stop growing; in fact that rule
holds good during its entire life.
Dairy slops, grass, fruit and vegetables
are naturally tbe principal diet for hogs in
summer, and they are amply sufficient.
Such diet will insure the most perfect
health of the animal. I'igs during the
first summer should be kept on the same,
adding only so much slop, meal and graiu
as are necessary to keep them in fair con
dition. —/ ndinnn Farmer.
l'ut in a good crop of fodder corn,
sown in the row, with rows four feet apart,
so as to cultivate it. Do not cut the fodder
until the ears begin to glaze, when it may
be put in a silo or cut down, cured and
stored in the barn. Such fodder should
never be stacked in the fields, as its qual
ity will be injured by exposure to the suti
and rains. The value of fodder is greatly
influenced by the period of growth at
which it is rut. If cut too soon it will con
tain a large proportion of water, and if cut
too late it wilj lose its suceulency. Kx
perimcnts indicate that tin- proper time
is when the ears are iu tin- "milky stage"
but just beginning to gla/«-.
The Crust-in-the-Guttor Fake.
Two men were walking up Fifth Ave.
the other day when one of them said,point
ing to a shabbily dressed man a little way
ahead; "Look at that fellow; hr is eating
a crust of bread, and I just saw him pick it
out of the gutter; that must be a genuine
case and 1 am going to give him a quar
ter." "Keep your quarter for a good
cigar," replied his companion, "and watch
-that rascal a few moments, and you will
be glad you gave him nothing." So the
two passed on and then looked back at the
man in the shabby clothes. When he
found that nothing was to be got from
them, he stopped eating the crust and put
it back in the gutter, not in the mud, but
on a piece of clean, white paper, and wait
ed until some other benevolent-looking per
son should come near enough to see him
pick it up again. "Well, well," said the
man who saved his quarter, "the ways of
the professional beggar are past fiudiug
out." "Not at all past finding out," the
other replied, "when you have seen him
piny the trick twice."—New York Trillion-.
Surprising Age of the Departed.
An Irishmaii was ordered to make a

fashion which caused a little excitement in

written copy he managed to get as far n>

as be would, he could not imitate the 'JH.
At last he remembered that ho could write

"He was only," said his reverence again,

The Great Hear of Siberia.
i Siberia i# commonly regarded a~ a re
' gion of ice and cold, but according to Mr
! (ieorsre K.-nnan it is. in summer time.
I about as hot a country as there is on the
I face of the globe. In one of his remarka-
I ble Sil>eri:in narrative-, given in the ( < .■»-
! t,,m il'iffazirt Mr Kennan this- relates
one of his hot weather experiences :
The farther we went up the Irtes'h the
hotter became the weather, and the more
barren the steppe, until it was easy to im
agine that we were in an Arabian or a north
African desert. The thermometer ranged
dav after day from 90 to 103 in the
-hade: the atmosphere was roffoeating;
every leaf and every blade of gra--. as far
jthe eye'eoald'ri-ach. ha b<*• • i"..'■ -<■ 111 T ■
burned dead by the fierce -inshine; grent
whirling columns of sand 100 to 150 feet in
height swept slowls and majestically
across the sun rorched plain; and we
could trace the progress of a -ingle mount
ed Kirghis five miles away, by the cloud of
dust which hi- horse's hoofs raised from
the steppe. I suffered intensely from the
heat and thirst, and had to protect myself
from the tierce sunshine by* .-wathing my
body in three or four thicknesses of blank
et. and putting a big down pillow over my
leg-. 1 could not hold my hand in the
sunshine ten minutes without pain, and
wrapping my body in four thicknesses of
heavy woolen blanketing gave me at once
a -ensntion of coolness. Mine was the
southern or sunny side of thetarantas, and
I finally became so exhausted with the
fierce heat, and had such a strange feeling
of laintuess, nausea, and suffocation, th • t
I asked Mr. Frost to change side- with me
and give me a brief respite. He wrap
ped himself up in a blanket, put a pillow
over his legs, and managed to endure it
until evening. Familiar as I supposed
myself to be with Siberia. I little thought,
when I crossed the frontier, that I should
find in it a north African desert, with
whirling -and columns and sunshine from
which I should be obliged to protect my
limbs with blankets. 1 laughed at the
Russian officer in Omsk, who told me that
the heat in the valley of the Irtcs'h was
often so intense as to cause nausea and
fainting, and who advised me not to travel
between 11 o'clock in the morning and
o'clock in the afternoon, when the day
was cloudless and hot. The idea of hav
ing a sunstroke in Siberia, and the sug
gestion not to travel ther in the middle
of the day, seemed to me so preposterous
that I could not restrain from a smile
of amusement. He assured me, however,
that he was talking seriously, and -aid that
the symptoms which he described were
peculiar effects of the Irtes'h valley heat,
but it was evidently sunstroke that he had
seen."
See the Business Manager.
There was once a long-headed man who
invented a Household Utensil of such
general Utility that instead of giving it a
Name setting forth an Intelligble idea of
its character, he called it simply a Good
Thing.
So Proud was he of his Good Tiling that
he would not make its Existence known in
the Press. "If People will not come in
and ask for the Good Thing, he would
say. "1 don't propose to go to the tron
ble of Telling them about It. If People
don't know It when they see It. they
must suffer the consequences of their
Blindness."
When a Mortgage was foreclosed on him
a little Later, the Successful Itidder Ad
vertised the Good Thing in Several Pa
pers, and He had great Difficulty in Em
ploying a sufficient number of Men to
fill the lied Wagons th it backed up at the
Door.
