Two Years I m prison niet. A New York City cat, after nearly two years' imprisonment be tween brick walls four stories high, and only a little mare than three inches apart, has been rescued by means of a lariet. The feline dropped into the crevice when it was only a tew weeks old and has been there erer since, fed and cared for by families residing in the buildings. The prison which it occupied for so long is between two buildings no East Fourth street The crevice is closed front and back and even closed partly on the top by tin roofing, Efforts which the kitten made again and again during the early days of its imprisonment to climb up the slippery walls only to fall back were watched with sym pathy by the neighbors, and they became divided into factions those who thought that the kitten ought to be killed and relieved of "Dirty as a hog" is a common expression yet the hog is maligned in it. The hog is much cleaner than some other of our farm ani mals in many respect. He will not willingly sleep in his own filth When he does so it is when he but been placed in confined quarters where he can exercise no choice the matter. Every person that h had the handling of swine know how carefully the hog will carry the straw in one part of bis peu for his bed and will keep it clean as Ions as it is possible to do so. Some swine raisers follow the prao tie of having a raised platform in one part of the pen, and on this the straw for the bed of the hog ii placed. The hog will always de posit the exorement In the unbod ded pnrtiou of the pen, and will keep bis platform and bed clean. This cannot be said of the cow or horse. The hog is accustomed to root in the ground, for that is where be gets a large part of his feed when in his wild state. But this is not an uncleanly habit. He wallows in the mud when he takes his bath, but that is because he is a thick-skinned animal, and the ordi nary ablution is insufficient for his needs, Farmers' Review. Eye to BiiNluess.
