doomed animal, ami with much ado
will catch uml throw the beast, which
meantime, rends the air with his
Kiuealitijf as though crying lustily fur
mercy; and when at last the knife
has been driven home ami the ar
teries severed, all at once the quiet
ness of death prevails, the hog arises,
totters about awhile, ghastly blood
pouring from the wound, the animal
gets weaker and weaker and finally
tumbles over and gives his last dy

dren of the neighborhood, have been
silent but horrified witnesses of the
direful scene. Now is this not a de-

er exhibition of man's apparent cruel
ty to animals, and one that is more
likely to create a feeling in the young
of disregard for things that are gen
tle nnd kindly, I do not know where
to look for it. True; swine must be
slaughtered; hut. let it be done in de
cency. IVhen a lad I witnessed switie
killing at nn abattoir, and I regarded
1he method so wicked that I never
forgot it, but really it was no worse
than this. The animals were in n
close pen. Three men did the work.
One with a hog hook would catch an
animal under the jaw, an assistant
would help him raise the head up,
nnd the third would do the sticking,
when the hog was dragged to a chute
nnd fumbled down it, kicking and
bleeding. A merciful way to kill a
hog is to strike it in the head with a
suitnble implement, producing stupor,
then instantly use Ihe sticking knife.
This causes instant death. An animal
suiters more from fear than It does
from death itself. A neat, unobjec
tionable method Is to drop the open
side of n suitable long, narrow bos
flown over the animal nnd then turn
box nnd nnimnl upside down, when
the knife can do its ws.rk and the
box be righted again that the hog can
lileed properly. Humane men will be
apt to pursue one of these better
methods; indeed, many of them do
now; hut if they will not, they should
he thoughtful enough to have chil
dren absent from hog killing, that no
evil he done by bad example. Pro

American hardening tells how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging,
they store thcin in a dry shed or
Lam until tho weather gets cold.
About the middle of November they
sort them, rejecting nil that show
signs of decay. They then spread a
linnr if 'frnw c'o-ht or ten rncties
uuck iii.-iti liic gruu.i.l, uuti piaee it.o
potatoes on this. The best results
are from mounds about three feet
wide at tho base and rising like u
cone to about tlie same height. This
i.s covered with straw and then by u
layer of soil from six to eight inches
thick, lleforo the weather gets too
severe more soil may be added, nnd
when the ground is frozen, put on
more straw or s'rawy manure. They
seem to winter much better thnn in
cellars or when put iu mounds or pits
as soon as dry. We would say that
we think it would not injure the ger
mination of the sprouts if the tubers
were frozen solidly in such a mound,
if they were not disturbed until they
had thawed out in the earth in the
darkness. lVe have plowed out pota
toes in the spring that had lain with
in six inches of the surface of the
ground all winter, where the ground
bad been frozen two or three feet
deep, and they were apparently as
ound and fresh as those dug in the

There still remains much land that
tan be rendered more valuable than
if is now by thorough drainage.
Hard, clayey soils should be turned
up to the uir in the fall so that the
frost etui have a chance to work on
them during the winter

The gypsies, who devote their tiino
to horses and horse I railing, are ex
perts iu taking an animal that is in
poor flesh and getting him iu good
condition in a short time. One of
these gentlemen gives the following
as his favorite ration used for this
purpose: Mix a bushel of flaxseed
with a like amount of barley and
corn and grind them together. These
proportions can he increased or de
creased to meet the necessities of
any particular case. This mixture
is to be fed thrce'times a day, after
being mixed with a peck of chopped
hay or straw. Commence with giv
ing him a small amount at first,
gradually increasing it, tint il he is
fed all he will eat. It is recommend
ed aa being much better than any
drug trentment for young or old
horses. Farmers' Voice.
