Mr. A.B. barreu' % wrlfftyj( from the new Knglar.d Sta'ei t We have ilncove food for growing h aad gran. On increase iu size aud' attacked by diseaf of the food Is that that we can grow But when we " <ir""j w* are still unset so far a* adopting usej a hundred yea Many hog* must be wintered for breeding purposes if for nothing else. Too much fattening and betting food 11 not only bad. for them, but for their litters when they come laver. A sow that has been fed heavily upon corn right up to the farrowing time, will show an unruly and onstable temper, and very often a caonilialisiw de- sire. She will, on slight provo :ayou, kill her young and devout them. Th)i is due largely to stomach trouble, an 1 to the irri- tation of the whole system. Heavy feeding of corn to the low has about the lame effect a* warm flesh does upon wild beasts. Knsilace made from sweet corn supplies a winter food that is the cheapen grown, and it gives the best results h) feeding the breeding sows in winter. Hard field corn is not so good. It is not relished as the sweet corn. The swine will walk all over the former to get at the latter, and it this is harvested at the right time they will eat up everything stalks, corn ani! tops. There is nothing waited. Kven when this corn is cut late in the reason and run through the cutter during' the fall, the iwine will eat it with great relish. As a fall and early winter food the . weet corn (talks, with the ears left on them make nnequaled fodder for the animals. If it is not grown for the silo sufficient! should be i ailed tn feed the pi,js until late j ip the autumn, when the clover and gr*si ' have died, and there is nothing but grain to fall back upon. Pigs that have been fed on ciover and grass through lummer can bo fa'.tened fcr the slaughtering-house on the iweet ooru fed to them just as it come* ' from the field. It is better to run tha whole mess through the cutter, stalks and mature eari included. When raised for winter fodder the corn hould be cut the same as any other for the silo, and it must be gathered and preserv- ed ia the best way possible. The sugar- corn gives sweetness to the whole mess, and makes the odor of the silo very pleasant to smell. To get a good stand of the b**t sugir corn means a good supply of winter fond for store hogs. Preparations should be rr ade tor this feed if hogs are to be kept over next winter, and by devoting a few acres to the sugar corn for the silo, enough, will be saved in gram and shelled corn to add very mater tally to the profits. Tho silo is generally used by dairymen nowadays, but *wme breeders have not given it a fair trial aud Ut. Use of Barbed Wire Fence. Barbed wire fence is steadily gaining favor on it* merits of strength, durability, effectiveness, and low cost. The galvanized wire last* many years, and ouly half as many post* need I* used as with other kinds of fences. When the ground is so w-t that other farm work cannot be. li.me, is a proper time tn build barbed wire fences- : Al siii h time the ground is generally moist, and soft enough to admit of driving the sharpened posts from the wagon, thua avoiding the expensive labor of digging and tilling holes. To fence securely against I sheip, five smooth wires and one top barbell ' wire are needed. Six barbed wire* make a , good hog fence, but will not prove absolute- ly reliable a* regards very little pigs. For cattle and horses, three bar) ed wires an- ! wer fairiy well, but it will he/ more satis- fac'ory if four strands are used. Sell the Hard Keepers. Some strain* ot every breed of domoelic animals are what is termed hard keepers. These should he disposed of at the first op- portunity, and others that more readily respond to proper rare obtain*'!. Let im- provement lie the watchword In tho stock line as well as in obtaining th* latest an I* most successful implements when they are required. It is only by this discriminating care that one will be able to maintain a profit in this age of low prioes and close coinpe'.itiou in all lines of farming. Short Furrows. It is an easy Iking for a la.-y man to overwork himself. A shady feuce corner is an irresistible temptation to somo men. I never thought that a man could ride heavenward on a surebacked horse. The greatest friend to the tmtlenne pro- ducer is the faimer who sell* pour butter. If every man w*re to get rich who believes h* knows how, w* wonid hav* no paupers. I never enjoy a man's theories about the government who cannot manage a ten-acre. patch. The worm in the whisky distillery will do more damage to the farmer this summer than th* cutworm. It seems to be a much easier thing to let down and formulate a system of national finance than it is tn ^o to work and earn an honsit dollar. Honest dollar* are made ouly by hard work. Sowing Clover Seed. Upon farming land that is cultivated by crop rotation, clovsr should IM sown if it in practicable to do so. For enriching the oil red clover is no doubt one or the best leguminous plants, as it grow* rank and rend* its root* down de*p into th* toi', H , rrver, where a permanent pasture or meadow is desired, timothy should be town with clover at the rale of four nuarts of timothy to five or six quarts of clover. The first year the clover will be prominent, the next year loss clover, and the third season wholly timothy. For the buntlit to the soil Uie nextsesson after leedinff, .wholly with clover, if of the median red variety. ifshouJd b nt in June or early in July or hay, ami later for seed. This double cropp.ng sends th* roots deeper in the soil which is just what is wanted, and is fonud to be more beneficial than simule close pas- turing. Aluke does well, makes good hsy but does not enrich the (oil like red clover. Allalia will be the best for dry climates. FINEST PARKS IN THE WORLD. Every in . Tewsi and Vlllase In 4airall* Mas Keamirnl rit-a.uri 4.r-.nrt- In no country in the world do people psy so much attention to their city and country jsrki M do the AutrlMii, A* none of the large cities i* ever visited by frost or snow all have great advantage* over the cities of our northern states or of northern Kurppe. Adelaide, th* capital of South Attitrsriia, has* park with botanical gardens which for beau'y of situation, arrangement of grounds and variety of trees and plants is unequalled by any city in the world, un- let* it might be by those of Melbourne, Sydney, and llnsbane iu ths same country. These Australian parks are not simply ornamental, they are useful ; the people ute them, and, at they are free to all, their one objection*! feature is the faot that they are made the resort of tramps, and of other disreputable characters. One of the largest of these city parks, and it promises in time to be the most beautiful, is Centennial Park, of Sydney, New .South Wales. This park wa* purchased and surveyed four years ago, to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the founding ot Sydney which at the beginning, ' was a penal colony of Engliod. The muni- cipality ha* gone to great expense to adorn the park with scores of replicas ol famous I statues or ths statues ot famous men from all parts of the world. The Australians have not only the parks in their large cities, but every town and village has its pleasure grounds, and the race track is to be found in every settlement. The colonies alo have large area* set apart as national parks. Th wisdom of this course will becom* evident as the population increase* and land becomes more valuable. THE A Word to tho Unwise. The nnul "oiling" which falls to th lot of people in m > inrate ctr.-umitaoctii frequently proves a d<iu*ion which only bitter experience can dispel. Indulgence in custom lht disarranges domeltic ma- chinery and threatens to jeopirdi/e the health of every individual member of the family, falli far ihcrt of yielding even a modicum of the rent and enjoyment that are su :.'i important factors in the res tor- atioo oi mental aud physical strength. The wholesale exodus from comfortable homes at a period when modern conviences prove invaluable 11 inexcusable on the part of those who have eiperiecrtd the discomforts of a second or third-rate I board ing-Bou. An outinc of thii tort weakeni vitality and render! an inlividual upcn hit return unfit to c ipe with the penetrating dampness and notcui windi that herald the approach cf winter. Another evil which in likely to follow desertion of the home-nest ii that which uiail* huiband and father whoee business interests compel him to remain in the city during the week. A home that it cloied a'l day ia not a desirable place in which to aeek natare'i tweet restorer. Yet the head f the family breathe* the close, vitiated atmosphere night after night and stubborn- ly declares that the " beastly weather" ii accountable for ibe headache and nauu* that clings to him like an avenging spirit. Many a tired, worn out mother has been forced to admit, aft-r a season's "outing" that the home test is the proper place for the little ones and herself. In her own home a mother can arrange to have each me.nber of the firmly enjoy a daily bath, which ii so refreshing and also frequently proves the means of warding off diseases. As the season advances the "slaughter of innocents" goes on apace. Every w>- man act emergency. Prompt action An important point in house-furnishing, which is often forgotten, is the question oj dust. Dwellers 111 towns are particularly subject to this all-prevailing evil. In view of the fact, thai bontea are more or less vibratory, we wosjtd urge the selection of <.nl- such furnitur* as may b easily moved I". ur. Avoid useless side-tables and cabinets, which are so often dragged in for no ether purpose in the world but to carry " art" rubbish. Remember that all furni- ture beyond what is really i eoeteary for comfort and oooveLience only provides so many more trap* wherewith to catch the dust. Avoid all woolen or fluffy material in each upholstery as it may be deemed necessary to have. These simple hints can lie acted upon by everybody. To those whoee means admit of it wt would suggest the use of thin parquet over old fliors. Upon such a floor only one or two rags, in lieu of the usual carpet would be needed. SENSATIONS OF DROWNING. The I \ |, n. ii. r llrewnl*! lerrlbr*1 hi Mad Who Hail Marrew Erapr. Mr. Hartley, twenty years of age, has recently given his experiences indrowning. Bathing with sorre comrades in the Ohio, he stayed too long under water, and before he could reach the surface, felt a shock like a blow on his back, which was caused by a friend diving to Ins rescue. This droveall the air out of his lungs, and he went to the bottom, where he lay in a half-conscious state, sraing his parents and friends around him woeping. All the evejti of his lite palled slowly before ins light, including hisgoo.l, bad, aud inditlerent action*. He recalled with absolute distinctness the smallest fact* of his life, even when hn wa* a child at school. He knew quite well that he was drowning, and thought, "After all it is not so had to drown." H aiked him- self whether they would be able to find bis l"ly, aud shuddered at the thought of their failure. Then he nicturei his burial ami hoard the clods falling on hi* coffin, and thought that mother* would speak of hi* death a* a warning to their children. He heard nouuds as of distant lulls in his ears ; saw pictures of all the colours of the raiahow, which enchanted him ; and felt neither pain nor fear. Kverything around him became peaceful, noises died away, and it was neither too hot nor cold. Then he lelt himself rise above the earth and float in space higher and higher, and saw the world extended bolow him. From Uu moment he saw nothing more until he found himteli lying on the crass beside the friend who had saved him and brought him to life by means of artificial respiration and friction. _ Enter the Ambassador. One of the most interesting incidents that marked the ceremonies in the Senate the other day was occasioned by the arriva of Sir Julian Pauncefote, says the Washing ton Post. The President, numbers of th Supreme Court and all other visitors enti- tled to the floor bad Ukea thsir seats, and the short wait preceding thn opening of the services had begun to grow irksome when th main door opened and Sir Julian, dress- ed in a close-fitting Prince Albert entered. He took a few mepa forward and then paused while the master of ceremonies an- noniii-vd in a distinct voice. "The Ambas- sador of Kngland to the United States." The pause was momentary. Th President and everyone present arose :nstuntaneouly in their seats. The Kngliih diplomat bowud with the easy grace >( a man who is not embarrassed by the honors shown him, with a firm step and erect though respectful (waring, passed down the centre aisle, psst the President and Cabinet, to the snal ai- nigoeil him in the front line of chairs. It was an unexpected incident, which, for the grace with which the required courteiy was demonstrated on both sides, made it of i nun' than passing interest to all who ob- served it.

In a speech delivered m the United States Ssnate a few days ago, Senator Call of Florida drew attention to the fact that not less than five million men, women, and children were dependent for their livelihood upon continued employment in the service of railroad corporations of the United States. No Kuropean Government, how- ever depotic, he declared, had control ol an army of one million en, the total num- ber of railroad employee* h-ing put by the Florida Senator at one million. Railroad investment*, it i* popularly sup. posed, yield a very large return, but the fact is '.hat taking the country through and adopting the figures of an ordinary year, it il found that money invested in> railroads doe* not yield a sum so great as to inspire the cupidity of an investor seeking very large returns. The total fund of debt of all American railroads in the year IS92 amounted to $.">, H.I.OOCl.OO'l. Four and one- half per cent on this figure of gross bonded indebtedness would amount to vJ4."i,n'Ni i . IMlO, whereas those railroads pud collective- ly in that year S-J.T.'.OOO.miO, on their bond- ed indebtedness or an average of 4} per cent, taking a favorable year for such com- parisons, and not on* like the past year, during which by default upon bonded interest 10 many Amerioan railways have been thrown into receivers' hands. During the year HU3 seventy-five Ameri- can railroad*, operating i"i,(Ki miles and having a gross bonded indebtedness of $l,'jr.i, 000,1100, went into receivers hands and have defaulted on their principal pay- ments, so that this year's net returns /rum railroads t.j bondholders will fall short of 4J per cent, and will not attain a higher average than 3;. It ia also to be remember- > it that those bonds which regulirly pay interest as it a -crues sell at a premium beyond the nominal value, a thoroughly guaranteed "gilt-edged" four percent, bond selling at a premium of -J.~i per cent. Th* gross amount of capital stock of all American railroad* has more than doubled during the past twslve years and now amounts to $5,<K;O,eOO,t><m! The total divi- dend* paid on the capital slock ot American railroads in Is'.il amounted to iWO.OOO.OOO and in I*?-' to *H:{.IKK),IKNI. Two per cent, on the total capitalization would be 100,- and it is therefor* evident t-) banish sickness from the house- that helps t-) hold. If an evil in th* form of noxious odor gains foothold in the cellar, strew limo and copperas along the floor near the wall, as terms of disease that find lodgment in the cellar speedily farce their way m'o th* upprr a|*rtmenls. Th* fumes that, arise from vinegar Cropped upon a hot iron shovel will destroy the floating germs and rentier the atmosphere fresh aud pure. The cold air that i* supposed to pervade refrigerator* and ice cneit* leads many housekeepers to imagine that the dally cleansing of these receptacles is quite un- necessary. The average piece of ice has, a* all know a provoking tendency to assume infinitesimal proportions at the most un- expected moments. The bad air that ia held in check by th* cold atmosphere be- comes active when the temperature changes consequently food is speedily rendered unfit for use. A large piece of charcoal niioul I be kept in every chest and refrigerator to purify the air. If a stout cloth is wrapped around the ice the melting proce's will receive a check favorable to the preserva- tion of the crystal block. It is of ten necessary to keep a supply of ice water during the night. Theinconen- ience of replenishing at intervals may be entirely obviated by wrapping the pitcher in a newspaper and twisting the ends to- gether to exclude the air. All who try ihts method will oe s'.irpr.sed to find that the melting prjcoss has been almost completely arrested. The individual of moderate means who nuhes hither and thither seeking a : pot where "perpetual bree/es blow" will never solve the problem how to Keep cool, until experience furnishes the key. Those who from necessity or inclination remain quietly at home during the heated term may he comforted tn know that there are cure to be many cool days during the summer, when a day spent in the country or at the sea ihoie will be thoroughly enjoyed. The pleasures of the outing will be greatly eu kanced by the knowledge that home com- forts await the weary ones when they return from their jaunt ; and a* etch mem- ber of the family emerge* from the cool, refreshing bath, we are not surprised that their hearts are fiilud with pity for people whose mistaken idea concerning a "summer outing" lend* them wandering far away from the "I'eareit spot on earth."

The field for investment ii better in American than in Kngli-h railway companies, the established rate of interest on bonds being higher and the fluctust on in railroad stock* being ureater. The railron Is of Florida sustained, most of them, bv Northern capital have a mile- age of 'J.SOO miles.

Reading to the Blind Gladstone. I hear a very touching account of the way in which Mr. (Gladstone paates the greater part of his day. He will not be allowed to read or us his eyes for another month, and he has to sit all day with bis eyes closed and with dark spectacles. Meanwhile he is read toby relay* of friends who take each other s plac* and give Mr. Gladstone some remarkably varied samples of reading. One day, for instance, a lady friend read to the ex-premier a novel, and she was followed by Mi. lleorire Russel the Under Secretary for the II ome Office. Mr. Russell asked Mr. (iladstone what he preferred. The ex Premier replied, "Read me the second Aeneid " Mr. Kussell read 000 lines, the old man slopping him now and then for comment, or to ask the reader to pause while he himself took up the recita- tion with some remembered lines. It is a pathetic reminiscence, for the second Aeneid has always been a great favorite with Mr. Gladstone, and he used it copi- ously in the far away with Mr. D.sraeii. used historic encounters Grades of Gold.
