"HONE AND TIHE FARM. ~ A DEPARTMENT MADE UP FOR e OUR RURAL FRIENDS. : Yhe Care of Growing Pigs — Good Fruit Evaporater —An Overstocked Market— Mlstak:ys of Dairymen—Poultry Profits— Caring for Colts—General Farm Notes. : A Serviceable Fruit Drier. Where there is a surplus of fruit, which the grower cannot sell in a green state, or work up into jam, preserves or dry it, it will be moreor less aloss to the grower. Farm and Home cannot tco strongly impress upon fruit growers the necessity of trying to preserve some of this surplus for future use by drying. Ry curing it in this way it will keep good for a long time. The illustratign is a very simpledevice for this purpose, and is much used 1n some sections. It eonsists of a water-tight tin vessel, or rather pan 2} feet wide and from 4 to 5 feet long and 3 inches deep. The usual method of using is to place one end of the pan on the stove, the outer end beingsupported by the light bench. as shown in the engraving. At or necar onc i / »‘%*’N‘— : W ’T\ ol * o 5 ', A/é\ S, : :J. 2.8 Q ’ \ corner of the top is solaered a small funnel, through which water is poured into.the pan which is partly filled. A cork is then placed in the funnel, leaving a small hole for the escape of steam, should too much be formegl. The fruit is spread evenly cver the upper surface of the pan, the juice being evancrated from sliced apnles in two or three hours’ time even with a moderate fire. This arrangement can be and is often used, and the cooking and baking progressing at the same time, as indicated in the accom_‘panying sketch. Those who do notl ~bave a large stove, eften build a simple arch out of acors, upon which the pan is set. ‘ . }-”' Hogs in the Orchard. ' The writer of the foilowing may be a ‘little cranky,” but he undoubtedly makes several suggestions which commend themselves as worthy of attention. He begins by asking: *Of what use are hogs in the or~chard? Well, hogs are to root upthe sod, cultivate the soil about the trees, gather the worms that infest the ground, eat the little, gnarly, wormy, immature fruit that falls, in order to ~destroy the insect that caused this fruit to be worthiess; then the rub- . bing of the muddy hog against a fruit ~ tree is thought to impart some paz- ~ ticular advantage to the health of the ~_ tree. Many other reasuns are urged | ~why the orchard is the best hog pas- / | ~ ture, both for the hog and _the _or-{ - chard. Mas any close observer dis-|] ~ covered that the orchard cultivubed\ by the hog produces better and surer crops of fruit than the one eultivated by the plow? Does therooting of the hog have any advantage over thedig- | : ging about the trunk of the tree and | the spreading of suitable fert-ilizers?l ‘The neat, clean appearance of orchards where a crop of clover or t,i'm-‘l ~ othy is grown, ard nccessary cultivation about the truak of the tree, has impressed us as the mo3st svstcmatici vlan of orcharding, leaving out of the | account any pecuniary advantage to, the hog. The yields of fruit are! equal to any hog-plowed orchard, and | the cleanliness and advant® ze to fruit | gathering only needs a comparison to | ‘convince any farmer which is the best I plan. | *‘Hogs may be turped into the or-| chard as certain times, if they have | rings in their noses, and bg of no dis- | advantage to the orchard. During the fruiting season they may be used | in gathering up the refuse fruit, | seemingly to advantage, but the| cheaper plan 1s to gather upand haul | out the culls to the hog lot at stated | times. : | “As a pasture the orchard m2y occasionally be turned over to the hogs without much liability of seriousinjury. but in general we do not favor | making a hoz lot of the orchard, and | cannot see anything to be gained by such a course, but, on the contrary, a damage.” l Salit for Potatoes. } Ina mention in the Farming World | of experiments by Rev. Mr. Cart- | wright, to determine the effect of ‘ different fertilizers upo*n l)c)mtoes, in which salt, soot, wood dshes, malt dust, peat, bone dust, manure, lime, decayed leatves, - sulphuric acid, gypsum, etc., were empl._ed, it way Tound that with one excepvion salt, the effects of which have been considered doubtful, proved s\uperior to taem all, and in connection with soot its energy was very striking. The plants where salt was used were of a paier green, but this proved to indicate no want of v gor. Experiment With Clover. The superiority of clover as a fertilizer is shown by an experiment made by that well-known cloverer, T. B. Terry, of Ohie. He tells a reporter of the Rural New Yorker “‘that three years ago a measured half acre, the end of a fleld recently seeded to clover, was seeded with twenty loads of good manure, and, in the spring, plowed and set to strawberry plants. 1t was carefully tilled that season, but a late frost the following season destroyed pretty much all the berries, consequently very little plant food was taken from the half acre. In July (1891) this .half acre was plowed and harrowed often

until time to seed to wheat, During these two years the rest of the fleld, not having been manured at all, had grown a crop of elover for hay, the second crop being cut for seed, and in 1891 an unusually large crop of potatoes. Both portions were prepared for wheat last fall and seeded the same day — the half acre that had been manured at the rate of forty loads to the acre and had practically grown no crop, and the portion that had grown two heavy crops with only a clover sod and roots for plant food. Theresult: IThe wheat on the half acre was no better, hardly as good, so says Mr.. Terry, and so says a number of visitors. The wheat had been removed before my visit, but no difference in j the new seeding of clover could be { noticed.” Leok After the Colts. Colts are the most valuable live stock on the farm, and while it does not pay to neglect any stock, either old or young, yet colts should receive particularly good attention. They should be treated so kindly that they will come to meet you in yard or pasture. This point is accomplished by ) frequently giving them a lump of svgar, an ear of eorn, or something else they like. Ilalter-break them when ' small, teach them to lexd and stop at the word ‘‘whoa,” leave them tied for an hour or two at a time, letting them have something tc eat while being tied, and there will be little danger of their pulling at the halter. At one year of age they can be uc-i customed to the bit, and may have a light harness placed on them for a‘ few hours at a time. The modern practice of driving them to a vehicie | when only yearlings is bad, for, un- | less extra care is used injury will be | the result. Colts should be accustomed to the sight of umbrellas, and ! to strange noises. Keep them growing when both in and out of p-sture. Do not dose with medicine unless absolutely required and then only Unl the advice of a skillful veterinary. Give them a came and always culll them by it. i A Hog Hangor. l A handy device for raising hogs is‘ a derrick made of three poles or scant- | lings, twelve feet long and bolted togetherat thetop. A pulleyisfastened at the top and a small windlass three | Y 1 - 4 // < A / 's‘:\\‘\; 4 i 4 : feel frem the bottom as shown in the I cut. A rope is fastened through a hole in the winddass and runs around that and over the puliey. A hook yo-rimg cshould bhe fastaned St el oose end. g Mistakes of Dairymen. ( There are many dairymen who i make the serious mistake of not providing properly for liberal feeding in I the autumn. Consequently, when the grass is gone and the unfavorable ! weather sets in, their cows begin to | shrink rapidly in their milk. ()fteni the flow is reduced to a poiut where | it does not pay to continue milking ! them,and théy are permitted to grow | dry when, with proper feeding, there | would be several months of profitable | work yet before them. Besides this, | the price of dairy products begins to | come up at this time, and cows that | are kept in milk pay well for the ‘ extra trouble and expense of feeding. | Some suceulent food is needed at this g time, to take the place of the grass| to which they have Leen accustomed | all summer, as a sudden change to ! dry feed will lessen the flow of milk, | however liberal the ration may be. | Roots answer a gcod purpose at this | time. as will also cabbage. green-corn | fodder, ensilage. cte. It 'is not dim-! cult to prepare for autumn feeding, ! but it demands a little- forethought. it is one of those cases, so frequently occurrine on the farm, where serious loss is occasioned by the feglect to plan in advance. The Barn Cat. A barn cat always looks sleck and fat and obtains its own living by

catching rats and mice. House catsl are usually fed so abundantly that they have never been know to catch a mouse, and about th.~ only living thing they were ever known to catch was the canary bird. Notwithstanding this act they are allowed to live ! sim ply because they know no better, and are themselves pets. A good | _active cat that wiil spend most of its | | time about the barn buildings, rid-} dinyg them of mice and other vermin 'l3 worth at least 5 per vear to any | farmer. All families of cats are not - good mousers, but when you are able | to obtain one of a family that is, take it to the"barn, provide a nice warm place for it to sleep, and take food to it until it feels quite at home. Should it go to the house carry it back, and after a time drive it to the barn if it frequents the house, and it will soon learn that the barn is its home, and remain, there, catching its ‘living about the buildings and fields. i The Turkey. | The turkey is very tender when | young, but hardy when grown. 1t ! the first ten weeks of its life end well ]* it is safe, as it will then have passed the critical period and entered on a ‘ new life. The principal causes ot the loss of young turkeys are dampness, rapid feathering and lice, the latter ‘ cause being the principal one,as many | suppose that because there are no

Ismall red mites the young turkeys | the large grey lice do the mischief. . | Rapid feathering causes the young |one to droop, and hence thoy should | be fed often, not less than four times | a day, and induced to eat meat as jedrlyaspossible. - - : A Handy Woodfllfi-'- g | Take four scantling three and onehalf feet long.

I¥ the pigssqueal be sure that it is a healthy, vigorous one, rathér than a weak, sickly one. | UNLEss in finishing for market, it is not a good plan to feel the hogs exclusively on corn, , BeCAUSE a sow farrows a small litter the first time. it is no criterion | of what she will do the next. | AT all times the sow should have | plenty of nourishing food, such as ]l will secure a healthy growth and dei velopment. IN hog management, as well as in l much else connected with the farm, much can be learned from those that l are successful. IF the sows farrow late it is very l importa.nb to push the growth from i the start if the sows are to be bred ‘ again for fall pigs. Do Nor be in.too much of a hurry | to wean the'early pigs. The length | of time the pigs should suck will vary | l with their condition. | I~ the brood sow it is quite an item to look for a long rcomy animal, buat with the other characteristics as well developed as in the boar. To INJUDICIOUS feeding- may be eredited a large amount of the fatality among the hogs, and in many cases could be readily avoided. Housekeeping Hints. To TAKE grease spots out of carpets. mix a little soap into a galion of warm water, then add half an ounce of borax; wash the part well | with a clean cloth, and the grease or I dirty spot will disappear. CrAMP in the ler is instantly relieved by turning the foot inward, so that the toes touch the other leg.

I was born to realize this country. The Lord said to me, toy-day is the day of Judgment, and you have got 1o be tihere. I brought the gun home and put it in the clothes closet, and after awhile I took it out. Thea my mother-in-law came down stairs. She is a witeh, She said to me: ‘You have got to die, and I will not go where you want to send me,’ and I shot her in the hall.

5 NEW STORIES OF POE, The Erratic Poet Had Loose Ideas of _ : Commercial Honor. : To have loaned Edgar Allen Yoe 50 cents is a distinction; to have put ‘into type the poet’s own correction of one of his poems is an honor. It is questionable, however, that the man who entered into such transaction with the pcet back in the forties thought he wa« particularly favored. Col. Jacob Ciild, ex-Minister to Siam and prominent citizen of Ray County, eloquent, irrepressible, pulchritudinous, knew the author of ‘'The Raven” intimately. Indeed, he was so well acquainted with the Virginian genius that he let him have 50 cents on one occasion wherewith to buy the cup that cheers and at the same time intoxicates. “I knew Poe very well,” the Colonel said yesterdav. “He was a tall, slender fellow, looking much younger than he really was. llis hair made him look like a poet. It waslong and he ‘combed it under’ in the style of of ‘the time. His piercing black eyes were another feature of his unusual appearance. When the least bit under the influence of alcohol Poe was a man long to be remembered. Those sparkling orbits fairly blazed. He came into the office of the Richmond Whig not long before he died and asked me to let him have 50 cents for a short time. In those days a poor printer boy in the South thought a 'good deal of a half-dollar and I re--1 member that 1 reflected twice before i letting the poet have the money. A | ( few days later he brought in a proof of ‘“Lenore,” which had appeared in the Southern Literary Me:senger, full of errors. Leaning over one of the big makeup stones, Poe made a number of changes in the original poem and asked me to set it up for the‘ Richm>nd Whig. Idid so and the next week ‘Lenore’ appeared in correct form.” ! According to Col. Child, Poe soldl { his “Annabel Lee¢” twice onee in | Liuffalo and again in Richmond. If this story has ever appeared it has | been kept out of books on Poe undl his work, for the reason that it casts | a shadow over the glamor that en- | velops the character of the poet. ' John R. Thompson was editor of the ! Southern Literary Messenger at the | time that *Annabel Lee” was written. Poe brought the manuseript to him and sold it for a good sum. : Thompson anncunced to his friends' the next number of the Messenger | I would contain I'oe’s inasterpiece. Ile | refused, bowever, to say anything | about the sty.e of the poem. After | Col. Child had put the verses in type in the Richmond Whig oftice, where | the Messenger was printed each week, "J‘hompson took the proofs away in ! his pocket, so as to be sure that the 'poem would not appear before hlSi magazine came cut withiv. One day ! ~ when Thompson, Child, and Dick | Heath, a sub-editor, were lounging in ’ the oftice of the Whig, the latter i said: t ‘l've got a new thing by Poc here ‘ {in my pocket. 1 clipped it from a Buffalo paper and Pll bet it beats that thing vou are iidingor . ‘ Mtk “Heath began: ““‘]L | It was many and many a year ago ‘ In a kingdom by the sea That u maniden there lived—— ‘ ‘“‘Great Scott!” Thompson ex- l ' claimed. | | *“The same thing,”murmured Child. | ‘ ““And he's got the money for it,” IThompswn went on. | «] spent a day setting it,” groaned | | Chid. o } i “What in the world is the matter?” | { ITeath finally asked. | I sHMatter?’ Thompson almost | | shrieked it. *“Why, the matter is| f that d—— feldlow has sold a poem to ‘ the Messenger that he had already | | disposed of up north.
