H<>*? to Fre?l for Pork. Grass is as natural a food for Bwine as for an? oth'r class of animals, though this fact do?*s not appear to be duly ap preciated. This importance of pasture is emphasized by Mr. F. D.Curtis in a recent issue of American Agriculturist, lie says: The best results can be had with breeding sows by turning them into a field where there is plenty of pas ture. It is not advisable to allow them to have pigs where other hogs run, al though in a large range there is little danger of the pigs being disturbed or in jured when born. One thing is sure: there is no food which will make better pigs or put the sows in better condition for bearing young than grass. Sows that destroy their pigs in the spring will make good mothers in the summer when fed on grass. In the spring they were feverish and made frenzied by their physical condition; while in the summer bv the cooling and succulent character of the grass they were in perfect condition for the ordeal of bearing young. Feeding vegetables has a similar effect, and when sows have these regularly they are always sure to do well. Fruits are also natural foods for swine, and sows will do well if fed nothing but apples. In the summer hogs should always be on earth and given a chance to root When it is known that all these cheap foods are so natural and healthful for swine, it seems strange that so many farmers persist in keeping their hogs, the year round, on grain. An acre of sweet corn, fed stalks and all, will go a long way towards fatten ing a lot of hn?s. Sorghum is also ex cellent. Weeds are allowed to go to seed, for extra work next year, which would make excellent pork. Ilere is a maxim: The cheapest foods make the best |>ork. The reason is it is the leanest. Lean j>ork then l?eing the best, we should try to make it. Con finement in j?ens tends to increase the fat. Exercise develops the muscles. The muscular part is the best food. The fat is largely waste. We make fat to throw it away. People buy hams, not for the fat, but for the lean. When the fat is wasted it makes the lean cost just so much more. Reduce the fat and in crease l he lean. Can this bu done? Certainly; in this way: Keep the pigs ail their lives in the pasture. Feed skim milk and bran. Keep corn away from them. Give them vegetables and apples with the bran. When the bodies or frames are grown give them oatmeal or rye, ground entire, mixed with bran, putiing in twice as much bran as rye. Keep up the vegetable and apple diet and allow them during this time to cat all the grass they will. A little corn may be fed towards the end. Pork made in this way will have more lean and will be tender and juicy. Seeilius for Clover. In seeding for clover on very sandy soil it will l>e necessary to supply suf ficient humus in the form of decayed vegetable matter or barn yard manure for the clover to make a catch. To estab lish a good clovor eod on such a soil may be no easy matter and require time and manure, but, when once obtained, it will be well worth the cost. Whenever good clover production has once been reached the after improvement of the soil will bo comparatively easy, and may be pushed with a rapidity commensurate with the inclination and means of the owner. A correspondent of the New Jersey station found that on his sandy soil, when clover was sown alone, weeds took jjos session of the ground at first, making the small amount of clover secured by late cutting of comparatively little value. By sowing millet and clover together, he secured fodder which his stock consumed as readily as baled hay, and not inferior to that secured by others who seeded without millet and secured little or no benefit from the first cut because of weeds. A good crop of red clover, when cut for hay. removes a large quantity of ni trogen from the land, t>ut it nevertheless leaves the surface soil richer in nitrogen than it was before, made so from the res idue of roots and stubble left in the soil. The seed may l>e sown in fall or spring, depending upon local conditions and cli mate; but, in tht' majority of cases, the best results come from sowing in iho spring, and quite often on llie late snows. In all cases it should be a* evenly dis tributed as possible, and on mellow, well prepared soil. If sown in autumn it should be done early, with the ground wet or moist, in order that it may net ft good start before winter. Plaster will increase the growth reui usably if sown broadcast the season following the seed ing What Other* Say.

Wlial I* Fh^ In an interesting letter to Science, II A. H azen, of Washington, gives some interesting and valuable particu lars respecting the proprieties and nat are of tog. lie says that it is admitted that fog is simply cloud composed of water oust or solid minute spheres of water from 1-7,000 to 1-1,000 of an inch in diameter Many have suppos ed that a dust particle must be the nu cleus for each sphere, but an examina tion under the microscope of evapor ated fog has proved that such is not the case. Briefly suited, the cause of fog is as follows: It is essential that j there bo no wind. The sky must be clear. The air must be saturated or nearly so. The formation of fog is a purely mecchanical process unaccom panied with heat.? New York Herald. A Photographic Telescope. The astronomical observatory of Harvard college has received from M:ss (J.

Science Keeping a diary is not what it is I cracked up to be. Thirty days of ac- i curacy is about the limit of the en- j durance; but Dr. Bull's Con eh Syrup has never yet disappointed any one ; who has used it.

Ufe in huts. A man whoso head is bulging with mathematical problems has figured out the disposition of every hour of the daily life of an average man, and tells just how many hours a man of 50 years has devoted to his toilet, meals or newspaper. "Let us assume," said he, "that the sleeping hours of an average man will number eight daily. That is one third of his time, so in Gfty vears your man will have slept all told sixteen years and eight months. The man who is shaved daily at 6ftv years probably had his face scraped not oftener than three times per week at twenty-five years, 1 while during his eighteen years a ra- j zor never touched Iiis face. Say that the semi-centenarian has averaged two shaves a week for fifty years, that will give 5,700 scrapes in the half century, i At an average of fifteen minutes per shave the time devoted to this one 6mall element of life will run up to fifty-nine days and nine hours. If a man should not shave in fifty years and then attempt to make up his pro portion all at once he would have to shave night and day for nearly two { months. "The average man, who is not lim ited to twenty minutes for dressing, breakfast and catching his traiu, con- ! ! sumes about thirty minutes in getting 1 inside his clothing in the morning. | Half an hour per day for fifty years | would amount to one year fifteen davs , and five hours, so that if a man should I : dress himself at the start in life for the ; whole fifty years he would pass two weeks before his first birthday anni- J versary, and this means working twenty-four hours per day. A bath should precede dressing, however, and twenty* minutes a day for that purpose would put a man in the tub for eight months, thirteen days and eleven hours out of the fifty years. For other de mands of the morning toilet allow ten minutes per day, or four months, five ; days and twenty hours in half a cen- j tury. Why, just a single minute every day spent in hunting for a col lar button means twelve days and . fourteen hours in the course of fifty years. "Half an hour for breakfast, forty minutes for lunch and an hour for dinner amount to five months, five ! days and nine vears of eating in fifty hoursoflife. The man who lives away up in the Twenty-eighth ward and spendsan hour of every day joggingto and from business in a horse car may I not realize it, but it is nevertheless true that in thirty years one year, j three months, one day and six hours j of his timo will go in that way. i ! When a man reckons his time as worth fifty cents an hour it seems rather rough to think that it takes $182.50 worth every year to got to business and back home a^ain every j day." ? Philadelphia Record. How 0!d John Cured the Balkers. Old John Ferris made a snug sum I for himself by buying at a low figure j from their disgusted owners all the i balky horses that lie heard of that j were otherwise sound, and, when i cured, selling them at a handsome ] advance. This was his plan: He would j harness the horse, being careful that I he was well fed. the harness strong > and comfortable, the wagon well | greased, in short, that the horse | should have no reasonable ground ? for complaint. Then he laid in a sup- j ply for a siejje? a lunch, bis i *>ws- j paper and spectacles, his pipe, '-.lib a j tilling of tobacco, and a match, and most important, a stout crowbar w ith a rini; in the top, and an ax. When the horse decided he had j;one far enough, he tried every gentle meas ure to persuade him otherwise (he never struck hiiu), but when these all | failed, he deliberately drove his crow- I bar firmly in the ground and hitched | the horse to it, then took his ease in a nap or a newspaper. When hunger anil thirst began to assail the horse, | and visions of fat oats and cool flow- j in;; water trough crossed his mental j vision, he nsually began to show a I Kstless desire to move on, but not so with his owner. He had ^ott'-n used | to the sport and desired to stay I longer, but when lie thought the proper time had arrived he pulled up s akes and .a: ted oil, but at the first ^ign of refract iveness in went the crowbar again. Before the horse had >imeto forgi't thi- lesSOn he drove i im forth a^ain. with th^ same prep I aiutiorts. usd to -ay ' ;at In oft) n had t<> u ? tie' crwtvbai <? ? 1 1 . ? * > nd drive but uev r on iu<* ! i third one.
