AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Younic Pigs. ; Young pigs will usually commence to cat wheu about three weeks old, and the more attractive the portion "put within their reach the quicker they will learn to make a full fee'd. If they can have a lit tle fresh milk at the start so much the better, but by common- consent skim milk is counted sufficient to meet piggy's notion. With milk as a starter they will soon take to slop made of mill feed. It is not the large hog that pays, but the one that makes the largest quantity of pork in the shortest time and on the smal lest amounfof food. .If a pig comes in dur ing April he has nine months during which to grow by the end of the year. If he is well bred and from a good stock of hogs, he. should easily be made to weigh . 250 pounds during the nine months of his' life. Winter Food for Horses."' - In the winter, when - horses are not worked any more than is 'sufficient to give ttem healthful exercise,- good timo thy hay, cut . before the blossom has formed and soon after the liead has ap peared, will be sufficient to keep them in . good condition. : Hay thus made contains the following nutritive elements per 100 poundSj'viz. : " '. ...-.. -. . - ' Pounds.

When cholera breaks out in the hennery the on!y sure method of . procedure is to nm ou aii tne iowis, sick-and well, and abandon the business in that location until the premises are completely freed from contagion. The" symptoms - of cholera, says an exchange, are great thirst, drooping spirits, a nervous, anxious expres&ioD, witn tne droppings greenish m color. The; fowl seems dejected, is sneepj at times, aoes not plume itself, wca. anu staggers, tne crops sometimes fill with wind, and the comb becomes pale or dark.: Death often re sults in twenty-four hours, but the dis ease may not prove fatal for several days xiGiucuica ki e numerous, dim none are certain, b irst disinfect the entire prem- lses. $urn the dead bodies. .... Isolate sick birds from the others, as it is a con tagious disease. Feed cooked cornmeal and wheat : middlings, " mixing it with carbolic acid water, which is prepared , by adding a teaspoonful of strong liquid carbolic acid to one quart of water. - Use only this water in their food, and give it to them for drink, ; If ? the bird is very weak give as much powder as will rest on a n ve-eent piece, once a day, composed . as follows: Ginger, one part; pulverized camphor, one part; sulphur, one nart. Clean up droppings, and keep sick birds quiet and dry. If they do not eat force a teaspoonful ol the carbolic acid water cown their throats twice a day. Straw as a Fodder. ; Hv A. Whittemore, a New York fancier, says m the Rural New-Yorker: The straw from any grain cut when the erass has passed the milk "stage and is commencing to harden, but 13 yet soft enough to mash - between the thumb and the finger, if well - secured and dried without storm, makes an excellent fodder to be mixed with any of the" different kinds of grain. We nna that well-cured, not over-ripe oat straw is equivaleat to three-quarters of ine. vaiue ox good Timothy hay for any kind of stock. There certainly is no - more economical way of disposing of all our good, bright straw than to run it through the cutting-box and to mix with it ground feed of corn, oats, barley, rye or some other grain, moistening the whole with scalding water and leaving it to cool before using. With the average small farmer most of the straw is used as fod der or litter for stables and sheds, where it absorbs much of the liquid from the . staDies and fertilizer. soon rots, forming a good . Where large quantities of straw are to be converted into manure, I know of no better way than to make the young stock consume it with a little grain, ami leave them 'to produce from it one of the most r economical high-grade fertilizers there is. y Several years ago . I wintered four horses' upon, wheat straw with a little - grain. ."-I mixed it with- boiling water ' and left it to cook from" one . feed to another with "good results, giving me a good quantity of as rich a fertilizer as one could desire. Throughout Western New York very little straw is allowed to go to waste. Nearly all is used as fod der or litter for the different domestic - animals. When straw can be bought at , $6 a ton and hay at $10 a ton. there is - more economy in-the straw : than in the hay, and fast driving 'or ; road-horses fed upon straw and grain show better coats and are as enduring as the .best hay and gram-ied ; norses, and the manure is equal to a high-grade fertilizer, as it is tuny as rich m nitrogen. .

Farmers should remember that heai work Bares great deal of hand work, nnd if systematically performed relieves the routine of life of somo of its dull ness. " Fall planting of trees has strong ad vocates among experienced tree-planters, and where a planter has given that a fair trio! his favorable testimony, as a rule, is secured. - One thing dairymen : in' this country generally neglect that is to cuiry their cows i as well as feed them. , Cows wfe'.l cared for will pay the interest on a mort gage,; and attack the principal bravely: Mr; Snmpson says it is. a good idea to plant ; gooseberries among the rows of currants. : The currant wormwill always prefer the. goosoberry, and the -latter bushes alone need be treated to hellebore. Peach - trees : that "', have made ; good growth sncc spring need no other fertil izer than wood ashes. ; Wood ashes : are also good for healing a pear tree which bears spotted or cracked fruit.- Sprinkle the ground well beneath the tree so far as the branches extend. : . ' :" - Tl e Chicago Times : remarks that'"th general employment of machinery on farms has exerted an unfavorable influ ence on small fruit culture, landscape, vegetable and farm gardening." Mixed farming and horticultural ; pursuits are certainly more in the line of "mall" than 'large ..farming. :'- " i t milch cows be - fed upon dry liay it cannot be expected of -them to give full supplies of . milk, for without succulent food the udder cannot,',; except upon a limited scale, carry on its milk secreting operations. In view of these facts every farmer should make it a part of his busi uess to raise a sufficient quantity - of beets, carrots and.-parsnips to give each milch-cow on his farm half-a-bushel daily during the winter and early spring.' No vegetable has been more improved than 'the common' tomato. Forty or more'years ago they were seedy,- watery and of little value. For a time the chief attempt to improve them was in securing extra early varieties, i Now firmness of flesh and comparative freedom from seeds arcbred for. ; ? Some of the best varieties have ! so ; much substance in their; flesh that they makQ..excellent preserves. For canning they are also much oetter than the thin, watery sorts. .'..V 'The plum loves rich, moist soil. It is to their effect in fertilizing the soil about the trees, rather than to any destruction of the curculio, that fowls are placed in plum; orchards. ; But though hens do not eat the curculio, tneir presence around and under the trees makes this shy insect more cautious about deposit- r her eggs. ; Faving- the soil nnder plum trees answers the same purpose. Many plum trees in cities havepavejnents close to their xoots, and they are pretty sure to bear good crops every year. For so small a weed there is scarcely a greater : pest than common ; plantain. It seeds profusely under the most, dis couraging circumstances, and only a two or three years' course with hoed crops can be relied upon to get rid of it ; even then ;some,sceds will start up every time the field is seeded with gras3. If not too numerous cut them " out with the hoe. If too abundant for that then plow again and try one or two years more ; with hoed" crops. Then seed heavily with clover, and be very careful that there is no plantain mixed with the seed. - - y The first effect of liberal feeding" at this season is : to increase or , at least maintain ? the milk flow: t We do not wish to have the -.cows fatten so long as they are giving milk,; for the Jatter is more: prohtable. -When a cow on un changed feed begins to dry off she also begins to fatten. - Putting on. flesh is all right if not overdone nor commenced too early.. A few weeks, or perhaps two or three months, if milk is not especially valuable, may be given to bring the cow into condition before she drops her ca'.f to be valuable the following season.

' Ih contradiction to other renorts Jeoneerri- injr Maine, Neal Dow's latest utterance is . as IOUOWS: . . j.- - "Many years aeo the DeODle of Maine con sumed more stronz drink than anv -other State in the Union. Mr. Blaine, writiner on the subject, said that at one time no Twonle in the country used such enoimous quantities ot uquor as aia tne people of this state. To day we can say that ne-State, in the Union uses so little. Mr. B'aine has also said that no State has prospered so remarkably during ine last xweniy years as Maine. ,r There is a cause for all this change. Temptation for strong drink- has been put out of the way. Years a&o there were great industries carried on here. The lumber trade employed a large number of our men, and the fishing industries a great many more." : 1 hese products were nearly all exported to the West Indies and other southern countries,and bartered for rum and molasses. ' The owners of the saw mills and the fishermen never made the State one dollar richt r, and the only rc suits of their industry were a population of topers, dilap idated school house, shiftless farmers and decaying farm buildings. - ' - When Blaine said that Maine is the most prosperous State in the Union he spoke the truth. The dilapidated bu ldings are being repaired or replaced by new ones, handsome in architecture and substantia in structure, and the almost hopeless poverty i? srivins away to vigorous-industry, mteirgjnee aud wealth. By careful estimates, this State now saves, directly and indirectly, the sum of $34,000,000 yearly.? In face of these facts it is a great wrong for Dr. Crosby, to say that the Maine law is a failure. All other public, interests shrink into ins'gnificance when compared with th's question, and the . cause can hardly have a more dangerous barrier in its way. than statements like that of Dr. Crosby's. They are danzerous because we have struggled for mere thau a quarter of a century before the eyes of the nation, and if successful our example will be -followed by every State in the Union. . Such men should be informed, so that they will never, repeat such statements as that of the clergyman I refer to. - ' . .- The fact that the larger proportion of in temperance has been banished; the fact that of tne seventy open grog shops that nourished in the city of Portland twenty-five years ago not one remains; the fact that no liquor is now imported from the West Indies, aud the barrels of rum that once occupied acres of land at the Portland wharves after the un loading of cargoes are abolished do not all these facts signify a progress in one direction-1 or tne otnerf were not three-fourths of the jails empty six months after the law was passed? But people say they do not under stand why the grog shops in the larger cities are allowed to exist. That is the key to the situation. After our thirty years' of trying to work out the great problemy people point to a few of the larger cities and say 'Look at Maine." It is easily seen why the putting out of the way of such obstacles to the cause as this is of the utmost importance Most of the saloon-keepers, except those of Bangor, dispose of their rum on the sly.'?; ?; ?;t Mr. Bright on Prohibition. ; Mr. John Bright has .written th ; following letter to a gentleman in Toronto, Canada: Dear Sir I suppose all men will admit that it would be a great blessing if themanu facture. sale and use of drinks which intoxi cate were abolished, but it is "difficult to im agine a state of public opinion in which this could be done ine wnoie question ana its solution must1 depend on public opinion. which mav agree to restrictions Which are himportant, but will for a long time, and per- naps always, reiuse xnesDsomce proniDiuon, which I suppose you are contending for. It 'seems to be with us, andprobably with you, that a severe system of taxation- is almost the only remedy which can i be adopted with much hope of success. " :By this course we may reduce the number of housis-where the drink is sold and thus lessen the temptation, which so many persons seem unable to resist, nnd at the same time it would add to the cost L of the drink and thus; to some extent diniin- jsn tne consumption - 01 - wnas ia bo great a. source of mischief. I fancy you are in ad vance of us on this question. With us only moderate measures have any chance of . suc cess, and we mutt content to travel more slowly than is the case in some parts of your continent. - With you in Canada and with the temperance party in the United States, I hope and wish that the temperance cause may prosper.' . very iruiy yours, .

This is a city of sixty-five thousand; was aa wicked a3 most cities while hquor ruled; one -of its streets was lined with saloons, no lady could walk through , it with safety, and the bravest man dreaded to even ride through it at night. Now its saloons are closed and a young girl may safely traverse it by day- or night, anil she will not hear a profane word. There were a. hundred and fifty saloons in Atlanta, and croakers prophe sied that these, a hundred and fifty buildings, would stand empty. Every single -one of them is occupied, many of them with stores where 'healthful f ood instead of destroying drink, is sold. Property has increased from ten to thirty per cent. The Senator remarked that he did not like to discuss the financial benefits of prohibition to Atlanta; great as they are, they are dwarfed into, insignificance by the response to Christ's momentous ques tion: "What shall it profit a man i he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" - He : "likes best to-consider prohibition as a soul- saving scheme, for such it has proved to At lanta. As soon as liquor was turned out, the spirit of God had a chance on men's hearts, and a wonderful revival followed. To-day there is not a citvon earth that is more truly Christian thanAtlanta;2,OO0menand women have been added to the church since the adop tion of prohibition. -"Is the Jaw -enforced, and will it continue to ber xes, just as lone as $500 fines and imprisonment follow 'i ?

' '' ' In Dec, 1888, 1. S. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House St., Boston, Mass., offered eight premi ums payable in gold coin, which they say crea ted a great interest amons; people who kept hpn- un mnrh so. in - fact, that they authorize us to say that they shall Offer Nov. 1st, 1887r another list of premiums for the bests results from the use of Sheridan's Powder to Make HensLav. Of course all who compete cannot get one of the premiums, but some of the last year's reports sent us show that the parties ought to have been well Batisfiod if they had not received any other : benefit than the in crease of eggs they got while making the trial. For example the first premium was twenty five dollars taken by C. A. French, Washing ton, N. H.,who fed thirty hens the Sheridan's Powder for eight weeks. The first week he got only ten eggs; the third week the hens laid 201 eggs, and the eighth week 208 eggs. Daring the eight weeks trial he "got 1398 eggs which, at the price of eggs in Boston or New York markets in mid-winter, would have yielded $43.60, or $1.55 for each hen in eight week's time; Con-sidering-the small expense of keeping a henno animal on a farm will pay like that. The fourth' premium, which was ten dollars, went to Mrs. E. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, N. Y.,' who in the eight weeks received from forty hens 1707 egg. The first week she only got 36 eggs, but the last week 277 eggs. , This clearly demonstrates that the use 01 Sheridan's Powder to Make Hens Lay will in crease the profit several hundred per cent. - Johnson & Co. will serd two 25 cent packs of Sheridan's Powder postpaid to any address for 50 cents in postage stamps; or a large pound can of Powder for $1.20. To each person or dering a large can as above they will send free one copy of - the "Farmer's Poultry Guide' (price. 23 cents). , - t . . ;-0i'-wp?s;r-i ;;; " "All But" is ferry Cooke, billy goatr the t!tleof a story by Rose Probably the history . of a Unlike other cathartics.
