Thoro is no loagor tuo uejiand for the heavy-weight hogs which used to prevail when lard was what the hog was mostly valued for. What is most wantod now are horrs that at seven or eight months old will average a pound a day, or a trifle more, for each day of their lives. Such lings as these are always salable, aud it is very rare that they will not yield a profit to the grower. The bet pus f r feeding are usually a crcsi ot the fine boned small breeds on oome large and rather coarse-built sows, the male always being the smaller. The result will be hogs, which for feeding will bo pei ior to either sire or dam. Invostigatlon Being Made.

The estimate now is that the peniten tiary corn crop will be 100,000 bushels. It requires about 00,000 bushels for the use of the convicts and the stock. This will leave 10,000 bushels for sale, worth, say 10,000. The estimate is that the cotton crop is 2,700 bales. Last year Superintendent Leazar made 2,000 bales and about 500 were lost by the great freshet in the lioauoke, which also destroyed 60,000 bushels of corn. It is asserted that Superintendent Smith will have over 25,O0 with which to start the new The Canker Worm. Bulletin 41 of New Hampshire station treats of tho canker worm a species of measuring worm which are hatched from eggs laid in applo trees about blooming time, and which feed upon the leaves and hang suspended from the leaves by webs of their own spinning. They havo been witn us for over 100 years. Trofessor Bailey estimates that a single chickadee will destroy 130, 00 J of these worms in a season. The remedies recommended are spraying with Paris green just be fore the blossoms open and again just after they fall. Also wrap a band of tough paper about the bo ly of the tree and smear this with raupenieim, or dendrolene, two German prepara tions that remain sticky two or tnree months, and thus catch all moths or worms that try to crawl up the tree. Bo sure that the paper girdle fits the tree so tight that tne worms cannot crawl under it. Never apply those sticky preparations to the bark of the trees, as it will surely kill the tree. r can pathy. Seth GEN. LONGSTREET APPOINTED. He Succeeds Wado Hamplon as Rail road Commissioner.

On looking through tho cow houses on a large Danish dairy farm recently, I noticed that in the troughs in the calf pens there were always two lumps for he nnimala to lick.

To an inquiry, the learned professor who had the farm under his direction replied that it was to keep the calves from becom ing sour in the stomach. He added that rock salt and chalk were always easily accessible and tho calves were never or rarely troubled with the com plaint which is so prevalent on Ameri can farms. In all probability it may be an old fashioned precaution.known to many people, as prepared chalk is a constituent of rome remedies for diarrhoea and scouring, but is not generally followed.

A dispatch from Chicago says that a wire mill trust is being formed in which the Rockfeller and other Standard Oil men are interested. to his manner of application of the same, be told me that in tho first place he provided thorough dust baths for setting hens, and gave tham ample opportunity to avail the nselves of the benefits to be thus derived. wnen phipkn were taken from the nest, he said, they were carefully looked over for lice. None being louua upon ineir heads or necks, they were not further moleale-l for a few davs. when the mother lien was given a light feather oiling with pure kerosene upon ner breast aud under her wings, auoui Iter legs, and wherever there might be a possibility of there being a breed ing ground for these worst of all the poultryman's enemies. Not by any means is she saturated with kerosene, but simply wiped over on tho outer surface of her plumage with a cloth that is wet, but not ripping wet, with the oil. ibis is repeated once a week, and is always attended to in the even ing. It is speedy death to lice and nits, and should the chicks be in tho least troxbled with them, loag beforo morning this woe of theirs has merged into happy content. A numb?r of hens with" their broods arc quickly disposed of in this manner, and the work is done for several dny.i. Kerosone is, in fact, quite the rem edy of remedies about this locality. It is freely used about tho roosts and wherever else needed to keep vermin at bay, and one Nebraska woman that I know has told me, and brought proof to bear, that kerosene can be used on hens while setting without detrimental effect. It was used cau innalv. but Tirettr well distributed through as well as uro: the outer aurfaco of her feathers. She was left off the nest for a little time, that tho greater part of it might evaporate and thus ba kept from oniing in direct contact with her o.gs. But tho odor about her nest was nnmitakable,eveu then, and I warranted those eggs not to hatch, while she as confidently war ranto 1 me that they would. And they did. - Nellie Hawkca in American Toultry Journal. Canton Vl Urtow. If a stitch in time save3 nine, pull ing a weed in time save ns from tho ninety and nine more weeds that would spring up and choketheflowera and vegetables. Tho destruction of weeds is one of tho first points in If eping a good and profitable garden. A very common practico is to allow them to grow, taking tho strength of the soil, then pull them up or mow them down aud throw them upon tho highways or into the fence corners to cumber the road and annoy tho riders with dust in the ono case, and furnish, fertilizer for more weeds and the pes tilent hedgerows that are ouo of the greatest drawbacks to the production of good crops. There are many weads that are an nuals, and by even a little care may be destroyed altogether. An ordinary sickle rigged w ith a long handlo and curved so that the blado will tip slightly upward is ono of tho very best weed exterminators in the world. Armed with one of these, a walk through the garden and grounds will enable the householder to snip off tho heads of weeds by tha hundred. This implement may bo used where a scythe could not be handled and when the back-breaking process of cutting' them out in the usual way would not be undertaken. Thoro is a narrow, sharp-edged cutting tool, liko a tiny spade, which in intended ppr-iillyas a burrdockcinter. It is exceedingly useful whore such weeds as wild pars nip and carrot are abundant, and where one could not pull all of theso weeds iu half a lifetime. Where coal is the fuel of the house hold it is possible to consume a great deal of material that would otherwise bo offensive and troublesome. It in of the utmost importance that there be a regular placo of deposit for all waste matter about tho house. A small box or corner ia the compost pit may bo set aside for bones, tomato cans and tho refuse of the table. This accumulation put in and covered w ith lime will mingle with tho other fer tilizer and become a most important addition to the enriching elements that will keep the place productive aud increase its value. Tha lime is necessary, also the animal matter that is resolved from the bones, while the iron and other salts from tha old cans have their uses in tho economy of nature. it eeras quite out of the question for the avcrnge small farmer to realize that there is enough fertilizer wasted on his place every year to innko it bud and blossom like tho rose. Thero is a market gardener in a suburban district who has within tho past few years built up a pile of weeds and sweepings along tho highway that would be worth more to him wero ho to scatter it over his land and plow it in than the same bulk of material i for which he i avs many dollars per load. Insensible to this, ho continues to rear this long and wido monument to hi extreme folly, and bin more sen sible neighbors arc wondering at hi penny-wise and pouud-foolih policy. The provident and foie-handel gardener and smaM fnrmpr will after carefully guarding against an increase of weeds an 1 utilizing all waste that he may have about tho pla", spread all of ike available compost upon hii land and seo that it is thoroughly fall 'plowed. In small patches it in best to spado around the corners, carefully turning under all sod aud grass that might furnish the start for a fresh crop of annnoying interloper!". It is wise to prepare a patch in sorao sunny corner whero early peas and potatoes may be put in an soon as the frost is out of the gronnd. The first lettuce aud ralish beds are best made under glasn, and to this end a largo and well-built col l frame is a neces sity. Built with proper care and in a substantial fashion, the cold framo will insure a plentiful supply of eavly vegetables, and, indeed, of hardy ono, all the year through. Theio is a time when it is impossible to obtain many vegetable, and a-rninst this period ono may guard by putting tho cold frames in order during the early part cf October, or tho last of , September. Tha b?st and safest frames are nialo by digging out tho earth for about eighteen inches, and putting up a double wrrtl of boards and paper. Tho paper may be put on with a paste ma lo of glue and oil with a little plaster of Paris. IhU will in cure n w atcrnroof coating, and ono that is also windpronf, provided it i well done. There is nothing Jh&t is more reliable as to warint1: than paper, and when many thicknesses of it aro used it must bo a most severe and penetrating frost that creeps through walls so welt fortified.
