We have had the usual slop barrel experience that be- longs to the farmer who grows hogs and tries to make the beet out of them, writes John M. Jamison. We have worked with slop in buckets and in barrels. both stationary and on wheels and in tab. put down In sawdust to protect them against winter freezing. We remember paying .10 for a barrel Bart, that we used tor a time, and that is now stored in a shed loft. Now we see wagons sold at sales at that price that are fairly good. We have gradu- ally come to the conclusion that there is a great deal of muscle end time wasted on the pig in the way of slop preparation. We have seen slop ber- reis of all "trtB-ssxeespt clean ones; have seen them buried full length in the ground and pert of their length. as suited the fancy of the owner. We have seen them not far from the kit- chen door or near the pig pen. as seem- ed most convenient to the owner. The meanest ones we ever saw " regards contents were hauled from the back yard of a noted hotel to the neighbor- ing fair ground that their contents might be fed to hogs on exhibition. Worms were making a strong effort to consume their contents. Had we known how or thought it possible, from that day we would have eliminat- ed the slop barrel from our pig Brow" ing ever afterward; es it was we made e greater effort in the direction of cleanliness. Farmers do not have or keep e shop barrel, or two or three of them. about their premises because they regard them as an ornament, but because they think them a necessity if they would have their hogs thrive. This is the wey we used to think about) it but for two years or more past we have thought differently. Our studies as to the needs of the pig to make him thrive best, and our aversion to the work that comes in when manipulating the slop barrel end buckets. caused us to discard the barrels. and we have had no occasion to return to them. For two or three winters we placed a tub er barrel in sawdust to keep tram feed- ing the hogs frozen slop. Notwith- standing reasonable care in the mat- ter we think the pigs seldom had their slop at the same temperature three feeds in succession. Sometimes it would be too warm and again too cool but never frozen. It must he remem- bered that the pig must eat without asking questions or discard his ration altogether. he cannot temper it to his liking as the owner can his soup. The most practical argument in favor of slop is that the gig relishes dampened food more than ry. It is very doubt- ful whether the soaking in water ren- ders it more digestible, In the great eorn belt we do not believe any farmer can afford to grind corn to make slop. Granting this we are brought to the mill products for slop making. Nor,_il PASSING OF THE SLOP BARREL we can dampen them without passing them through the slop barrel we save one handling, and if we can get water in cold weather for this purpose we " so sure work and fuel. By this we save the annoyance of heating water on the kitchen stove to the relief of the housewife. We accomplished this winter and summer by pumping water directly from the well to moisten the ground food with. Often the pigs do the mixing. We know of no other way that we can arrange that will so near- ly gives the pigs their moistened food at the same temperature the year around. Put the dry food in the troughs and pour over it about the same volume of water pumped from the well and the thing is done and the slop barrel is out of count entirely. We find they eat this moistened food as readily as the thin slop that most always is dipped from the barrel. We are certain it goes to the spot quick- er. We speak rom experience in this matter and feel pertvotly safe in re- common lug our pan. They relish the food moistened with water direct trom the well beam” " is cool in summer and in winter it is warmer than the temperature of the atmo- sphere about them. If possible, avoid removing large limbs and the best way to do this is to begin when the tree is young and prune It systematically and carefully. " it is necessary to remove a large limb, use a saw, culling in I short distance trom the bu .om first, then saw down from above, and the limb can be removed without fear of splitting off below. Large wounds should be smoothed over with a knife, then cov- ered with gum shellac dissolved In al- cohol. - W, ' If the cutting is further from the tree, the scar is still the same size and a long stub is left over which it will take the tree years to Brow. PRUNING FRUIT TREES. Begin early in the life of the tree to shape it. A young tree should con- sist of a central leader with the main branches distributed evenly about it, forming n weU-balanoed head. On no account should a tree be set with a decided fork in the trunk. The point at which a limb should be removed is Just at the upper part of the shoulder whivh will be at the base of each limb where it joins the main trunk. If we cut closely, the size of the wound is Int-reused without to any appreciable extent decreasing the size of the stub. an grnernl way, summer pruning promote fruitfulness. while if wood LN: growth is desired, prune in winter. The exPlantation of this is that great growth and great truitttglneaa do not so together. A plant must reach a certain degree of maturity before it will produce fruit and an abundance of plant food at the time the buds are forming is desirable for the best re- sults. Now if by summer pruning part of the branch is removed, the growth! .is checked and as the part removed. Peasants the demand for plant food, it'; yn. be devoted to the production of: ;iruit buds. It the tree is allowed tol 1 go into winter quarters undisturbed " ‘the end of the season, the roots and Ite are in a sort of equilibrium or l balance each other. Now if during the dormant period a considerable part of the top is cut off, a strong pressure of sap is brought to bear on the remain-o I ing buds and a greater supply of nour- ishment is furnished for growth of each. The result is that a large growth of wood results, and when the time comes the following season for the formation of fr it buds, plant food is not abundant and few blossoms are produced. AN EFFECTIVE FIRE KINDLER. Kindling with kerosene, though " most universal when it comes to start- ing the kitchen tire on a winter'l‘ morning, is a dangerous operation as generally done. No tanner or his son. of course the wife or daughter never has this cold and disagreeable task to perform, can be blamed for wishing to abridge this uncomfortable duty. If he will try the following plan he will find it a success. He neither spills oil on stove and floor, carries oil in the dishes to season the breakfast later on, and last but not least, does not blow up the stove or set the house on fire. Take a tin can one with a cover so that the oil will not evaporate, and till about two-thirds full of oil, and let in some handy place out of the way. At night put two or three cabs in the can and leave to soak. .When the fire ls to be started, take the cube and put on the grate of the stove, piling the kindling and fuel over them. Then touch a match to them and your fire is going full blast. Always have some robe In the can. If for any reason it is desirable to have a fire on short notice, your kindling to Always ready. A very common mistake in applying farmyard manure is to give a small part of the tarm a very heavy coating and leave the remainder without any. There are severe] good reasons why such a practice should not be foiiowed. If the manure has been properly cared for there is no need of such heavy ap- p'icaiions to supply sufficient plant food for the crops. and when heavy manuring IS practiced a large part of the farm is neglected while a small part receive: much more than it re- quires. The practice is similar to starving the greater number of a herd of cattle and giving the few remaining animals far more than they can eat. Very heavy manuring is mutteful-0n turlo experiment station. It is fre- quently claimed that if the first crop does not require the plant food applied, the next "rop_wtn_toe all the better off. It is true that the heavier the epplx-i cation the greater the residue left‘ over for succeeding crops, but it doee not follow that there is no waste " plant food under heavy manurintr.; There is danger that some of the ex-: cesnive plant food may be leached out of the soil and lost in the drainage water when the land is not under crop. In all fertile soils there is always a considerable loss of nitrates from the soil in the drainage water, and it is not difficult to understand that the greater the excess of soluble plant food in the soil the greater the loss In the drainage water. Some loss is eure to occur, but an effort should be made to make the loss as small as possible; and moderation in applying manure is one step in this direction. EX - HEEVE Eight years ago, Dresden wasafflicl- ed by that curse of mndern civilization, Rheumatism, to as great an extmt,as any other place of its size in the Dom- inion.

Dresden, Dec. 12.-This town boasts a peculiarity of which its people may well be proud, as it proves beyond dis- pate. that they passes: that desirable attribute, common sense, in no small degree. That peculiarity is the re- markable decrease in the number of cases of Rheumatism during the last few yers. a Kow Damn Klan-9y I'llln (and lllln or [hon-mun» and Gout.

"For eight years I was a martyr to Rheumatism, of the Inflammatory type,and during that period, my suffer- ing heggnred description. To add to my misery I was attacked by Gout. The best doctors failed to benefit me,‘ and no good was done by the many‘ patent medicines I used. 1 "At times I could not get about at all, and at the best, it was a severe task for me to make my way about my store. "Hearing that Dodd's Kidney Pills had cured a Dresden lady of Rheuma- tism, I decided to try the medicine. Imagine my delighted surprise when I found myself growing better after having taken balf-a-dozen doses. I used six boxes of the pills and am now as sound and well as ever I was. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. This I am ready and willing to swear to." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the surest, quickest and beat cure for Rheuma- tism ever known. They never fail. And they cost only fifty cents a box, at all drug stores. G. Cragg, Esq., ex-riseve of_1he town, and one of our most prominent mer- chants. - MODERATE APPLICATION OI? MANURES.

Those subjects of the tsar who are sent. to Siberian prisons for a real or fancied offense against the social laws of the political decrees of the power that is, know that they will be harshly treated; but in no part of the dreary country is imprisonment so cruel as in the Kara prison, where the convicts work in tho mines. Attempts to escape are a common occurrence all over the country, but the number of convicts who make a. dash for liberty from the Kara mines ia far greater than from any other prison. The miserable creatures who endeav- or to elude the iron grasp of the tsar's officials prefer the spring tor their at- tempt. There is more chance of reach- ing the outer world, or crossing the many miles of desolate territory that separate them from a place of safety, in the early months of the year; but they cannot always choose their own time, and in the very depth of the Sib- erian winter the desperate men made the atruggle for freedom, preferring the rigors of night tramping in the coldest leason to the miseries of the prison. How do these men find their way! How do they live? They know the direction in which safety lies, and they tramp onward un- til they reach some spot where they are safe. That spot may be far away from the town at which they imagined, they would arrive, but what of that? They are free, that is the all-import- ant matter.
