The light ning struck an old pine tree which crowned the summit of a hill, and the owner of the property ordered the tree cut down. When the workmen began to dig at the roots they unearthed a magnificent Ebruscan grave. It con sisted of a spacious vault supported by four immense pillars.

The Dairy Commissioner of the Do minion of Canada says: “I have found the best results to be obtained from using such grains ta mix ture of peas, oats, barley and corn; or a mixture of peas, corn and bran, ground very fine, and soaked for not less than thirty hours before they are fed. 1 think hogs should be kept so as to permit, and even to cause them to take a good deal of exercise until after they weigh more than 1Q0 pounds each. In the growing of young pigs it is im portant that they should receive a daily allowance of skim milk for six weeks or two months after they are weaned. Skim milk is the great flesh forming or muscle and bone-forming food; and if the young pigs are stunted in these regards at that time they can not be developed into the best class of hogs, no matter what breed they may be of.” ________ Two towns in Kansas—Lost Springs Here is Prof. Gilbert's winter ration: and Romana—have not an idle man or Bran, 3 pounds; fine feed, 3 pounds; boy, or an unoccupied house, or a dog.

I had given up all hopes of getting well; everybody thought I had consumption. After taking five bottles of Lydia E.

At a meeting recently by the Texas State Live Stock Sanitary Board, nt Fort Worth, Inspector Dean, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said the department was satisfied with the dip ping experiments recently made there and elsewhere, and Insisted on main taining the present quarantine line and a close season. He says dipping sta tions will shortly be established along tile quarantine line. Inspector Dean reported satisfactory results attending the cattle recently dipped and shipped to Illinois. He advised dipping in mod erate weather in order to avoid the ef fect of exposing the cattle to either heat or cold while their liair was sat urated with the oil. The formula of the preparation which he recommends, and which has been adopted by the Government, consists of pnrffiu oil, known as dynamo and sulphur. Farm Accounts. Winter Ration for Fowls. MRS.

Don Matias Romero, who died In Washington not long since, was one of the best known foreign diplomats In this country, not only on account of his long occupancy of the Mexican lega tion, but also through bis numerous contributions to American periodical literature, which rendered Ills name fa miliar to the reading public. He was very popular iu Washington, and earn ed the regard of many prominent Americans, notably of Grant and Lin coln.

Distance for Apple Trees. Apple trees should be planted at wider distances apart than has usually been the custom. The best soils are none too good for the apple orchard, and such will develop much larger At butchering time or by a visit to the local butcher, secure a quantity of blood. Set it away until it begins to emit nn odor. Then lime, which lias been thoroughly slaked, should be mixed with the blood, stirring It until about the thickness of whitewash.
