Clover is also excellent, and lime should be free- ly u at the same time. —Salt your hogs. The salt itself is strong, but mix with abont two parts of wood ashes and then the whole mixture stirred into an eqnal quantity of water will make a mess that the hogs will eat, and it will clean their bowels of worms and other diseases. When straw is thrown in th» barn- yard, to be added to the manure heap, it does not rot quickly, but if cut into short lengths, used as bedding and then thrown intothe barnyard it de- ys rapidly and is more eas han- dled when loading the manure into the wagons. — Troy Times. —Young hor that have not been accustomed to hard corn are very sub- ject to lampas.

Lime produces the most favorable effects on land where barnyard manure was applied one or two years previous- ly, another application of manure fol- lowing soon after. The effects of Hime last several years, but it can not re- place barn-yard manure, although it heightens and assnres its fects, and moreover brings the dormant powers of the soil into action. —Montreal Wit- NESS. ee A HEROIC CAT. flow “Miss Pussy” Saved the Live of a Wounded French Soldier. During the Crimean Wa During the Crimean war at little eat, reared in his mother’s ge, followed ayoung Freneh soldier when he left his native vill The lad’s heart clung to this small, dumb member of his family, and he gave pussy a seat on his knapsack by day on the march, and a corner of his couch at night. She took her meals on her master’s knee, and was a general pet in the company. On the morning that his regiment was tirst ordered into action, the soldier bade his little cat farewell and left herin charge of a sick comrade. He had marched about a mile from camp when what was his surprise to see Miss Pussy running beside him. He lifted her upon the usual seat, and soon the en- yagement commenced. Twice did the soldier fall, but the cat clung fast — hold. At last a severe wound stretched him bleeding on the field. No sooner did pussy eateh sight of the blood flowing from her master, than she seated herself up- on his body, and began to heck his wound in the most assiduous manner. Thus she remained for some hours, till the surgeon cathe up to the young lad and had him carried to the tent of the wounded. When he recovered con- sciousness his first question was, “Shall I live? “Yes, my good fel- low," was the surgeon's answer, “thanks to your little eat; for if she had not used her tongue so intelligent- ly you would have been too exhausted by the loss of blood to recover.” You may be sure that pussy was well cared for, and, cont she young y to all regulations, lowed to accompany the r to the hospital, where sled with the choicest mor- slate, and became a very er.—N.

If we add the fourteen million dollars appropriated | by these two bills, and the forty-eight millions required to pay the interest on the public debt to the sum above men- | - tioned, *we have three hundred and teh | i million dollars as the sxmount deemed | by Congress necess to meet the | current annual expenses of Gorern- ment. The corresponding expenditures dur- ing Washington's administration av- eraged less than six million dollars a year. The population is fifteen times as great as itwas then; the expendi- ture is fifty times as great. Yet this is not an evidence of extravagance, be- cause the Government does for the peo- ple vastly more than it did in the time of Washington. The largest single item of appropri- ation is that for pensions. No less a sum than eighty-three million dollars is granted for this purpose for the fis- ealyear. This sum alone would have paid all the ordinary expenses of the Government, except for the first eighteen years under the Consti- interest, tution, oruntil 1808. Next comes the post-office, taking fifty-five and a half millions, but of t amount more than fifty millions will be derived from postage and other revenues of the department. ‘The ch the arm: is alittle less) than rm ions. ‘The appropriation for the navy i wer than usual. almost twenty-five tuillions. y ships are to use some n t.

This act appropriated twenty-two millions, this year, about the usual amount. We have thus accounted for all but about seventgen million dollars of the appropriations, which are disposed of thus: Indians, five millions: Distriet of Columbia, four millions; Ministers and Consuls, road, one million and ahalf; Agricultural Department, one million; Military Academy, halt « mill- ion; and the rest for miscellaneous small purposes. Although there are some abuses in the Government, the public service i on the whole, conducted in a manner that will compare creditably, for econ- omy and efficiency, with that of any other country in the world. For ex- ample, the British civil, service, which is so much praised, costs nearly thir- teen million dollars, or twice as much as the corresponding service in this country, although the population of the United States outnumbers that of the United Kingdom by twenty-five mill- ons. It is quite beyond the bounds of human possibility to expend the three hundred millions and more whieh the Government pays out ev year with- out some of it going to waste, by be- ing paid to people who are not entitled to it; but we succeed as well as any other country in limiting these abuses. This success, however, should not have the effect of leading the people to cease their efforts still to improve the service. We must also remember that anincreasing population must mean an increase of expenditures; and that the march of civilization itself is con- stantly adding to the requirements which the people make of their Goy- ernment, while every new function of Government adds to the cost of main- taining it.— Youth's Companion. —_——-ee—___ Some improvements of a valuable character have been made in the man- ufacture of asbestos paint in England.
