I guess not," replied the old man. “But it it makes me feel considerably mystified." “ You don’t mean mystified, do ye, Uncle Enoch ?" “ Yep, that’s jest exactly what I mean !

She has proved herself the friend ol the poor, the salvation of those oppressed by fate, the protector of ltomebuilders from dispossessiou. She has tided the unfortunate farmers of Nebraska through a great industrial collapse. Her cheer- iul, incessant cackle has scared the wolf ofstarvation from many a door. It is a literal truth that, but for the hen, thousands upon thousands of Nebraska farmers would have been forced to give up the fight against drought and crop failures during the last three years. While everything else was going to rack and ruin, she has increased and multi- plied. She has asked for no other food than that which her own industry pro- vided. She has supported herself and the whole family, too. The very insects which the farmer dreads she has futted upon. She has laid her daily eggâ€"the blessed egg that takes the place of beef, mutton and porkâ€"and in good time, . . a, after all these services to her country," has surrendered her own tootlisome the first and thirtl Mondays in each month.

Feeding in Cold Weather. One of the most interesting experi- ments with hogs that we have read is been made several years ago, in Ohio, by Joseph Sullivan. A very large num4 ber of hogs were weighed on September 10th and turned into a 40-acrc cornfield, the corn being in the roasting stageâ€" perhaps the very best condition for fat- teniug hogsâ€"and they remained in that field till October 23rd, having eaten down the field. They were again no- curately weighed and found to have . gained 16,000 pounds, or 10 pounds per bushel of corn caton, estimating the yield at 40 bushels per acre. Then, as experiment, he selected from the lot 100 hogs averaging 100 pounds each, placed them in large covered pens with plank floors and troughs and fed them upon corn meal ground in the ear and well steamed. At the end of 10 days they were weighed and found to have gained 20 pounds to each bushel of 70 pounds of meal fed, the weather at this time being mild. They were further fed to test the effect of temperature, and as weather became cold the gain was re- Sunday service at 10.30 a. tn. and 7 p. m. Sabbath School at 2.30 p. m.
