He was removed to the house of his widowed mother, where he died, John Nairn informed the raporter of the Sioux City Journal that he has best. sucoess in keeping his swine free from disease by pasturing them in the timber, He had a pasture of 100 acres n use the past season, and will iacrease this to 300 acres the coming year. The swine do well on the weeds and artichokes, with bushel or two of corn per hundred shoats per day. Wnen tho swine are taken up for fattening they are turned in standing corn, a fow acres being fenced off for them, and when this 18 eaten clean the feuce moved further into the standing corn. Later they are yarded and fed ear corn, with plenty of water s'ways, Mr. Nairn recommended this ilan as an antid e for hog cholera, - — OLD CIR«US-RIDERS. “ITIN TOYTTH TTECO0 -RICHARD & CLARKE, Omaha,Neb JACOB SIMS.

Nearly all the great riders we now have began their career before the enactment of these laws, and, consequently, served a thorough apprenticeship to their profes- ston, but when they shasll have pussed away who will fill their places? There will certsinly be no American riders who can do so eatisfactorily, and our public will have to look for its ¢questrian talent acroas the water, where so-culled aocieties for the prevention of cruelty to children are not 8o officious in securing the pas- sage and enforcement of unjust and iv ju- dicious laws, “But comparatively thorough as was once the training of riders in this country, it was much less_artistic and complete than that practiced In Europe. There, at 6 years old, the embryo rider is flest instructed in bailet dancing to ac quire grace and suppleness, Then, if a boy, he is taught tumbling—that i3, how to turn handsprings, somerssults, etc., this portion of the training being omitted in the case of a “giri, though otherwise her equestrian education is precisely the . | same as that of a boy. ““If designed for & pad-rider, the com- ing equestrlan is then placed on a pad- saddled horse or, if for a bareback arist, upon & barobacked one, and the tuition in riding proper begins. A person who ¢ | has learned pad riding can seldom be- come a good_bareback rider, as changing from the pad to the bare back is like be- gioning all over again, and the rider will nearly be found lacking in freedom, ease and grace, The horses selected for children to learn on are almost the most ardous feats performed. Within late Willism Kincsde, sn at, broke neek while dolng & do p ver n vumber of ele one of the best his neck in the 1 1 of Jersoy omie years ago, while tr to throw o triple somersault, by Which is meant re- | volving in the air three times before Jighting. Every porformer who has at tempted thia feat has been killod by it sooner or later, and it is s 1 1 ques tion whether it has been or evor can bo succosstully accomplishad Little Miss Davene was killod by \ting on her neck and spine afier b ing theown frem a oatapult in 1881, What are called the ‘leap hat s, throwing somersaults over elephants ant horsos—have been produciive of greater number of serious accidents than auy other feat attempted in the ring Tae most frequent and annoying acer- dents which veour to_riders are iojuries to the knee-joint. There isno part of the body moro easily displaced or hard.r to put in order again, and alighting ofl'a horse after going through a hoop, over a bauner, or jumping to the ground to woid a fall, is very apt to throw the jowt out of place. Katie Stokes, a very talented young bareback rider, who gave promise of attaming tho very highest em- ence i her profession, sustained an o jury of this kind in tho sammer 1882, and it 18 doubtful if sho will ever ride again, My wife, well known as an accomplished pad and manego rider, has been cbliged to retire from the profession permanently in consequence of u similiar wecident. “I must not forget to tell you of a great remedy we oircus poople have for spraing, It 1s a mixiure of wormwood, visegar, and salt. Take ten cents’ worth of wormwood, cover it well with vinegar, put in & handful of ealt and let the mixture come to a boil; bathe the affected part with it as hot 88 you can bear it and it will effect & oure more quickly than anything else I have ever seca tried,” *Do circus performers often live to a good old age?” “Very often, and I think that in point of longevity they far excel the membors of any other profession. Iu England and on the continent of Europe, espocially, they usually live to bo very old, In European countries, t0o, it is remarkable how many families there are whose every member, both male and female, for many wenerations has been in the profession. Among these families may be mentioned steady-going old crowbaits that can be found amount the ring stock, O course, it is necessary to adopt some means to prevent the child from falling off and being injured, This was formerly done by means of a long lunge rein, one end of which was fastened to s ring attached to the frout of the pad or to the surctogle if the horse was barebacked, while the other end, afier being passed through another ring firmly fastened to the child’s belt, was held by the instruo tor s'anding in the center ot the ring, If the little rider shuwed any sign of falling, his master's pull cn the lung-reigh would bring him safoly down upon the horee's back and hold him there till the horse could bo st pped and the young eques. trian placed on his feet again, ““Tais device has now bien superceded by what is called the mechauie, which which was invented several years ago by the well known old time performer and manager, 8. Q. Stokes, It consists of a long iron upright, which 1s firmly fixed i the center of the ring From the top of this upright there extends a horizontal arm long enough to reach over that part of the ring where the horse travels, To the outer end of the arm is attached o block pulley, over which passes a rope, of #hich one eud is hooked into the belt of the child, while the other is held iu the center of the ring by the instructc that he can raise ard lower his pupil at wlll, the arm of the mechanio being made to go around ‘he ring by means of & crank near the base of the right, which can be turned by an sssistant or by the master himself " *‘Have there been many fatal accldents mong circus performere!” “‘Very few, coneidering the meny haz- the Rentzes, Samwells, Cookes, snd Bridges. Tho health of circus peoplo is awlwost invariably excelient ” “How do you think porformers of Americs compare with those of Europe?” “The Americans have a great deal more reckless dash and darlug, and ore willing to incur more risk. When they waut to do a feat th y go right ahead and try it, whereas 8 European artist would tirst undergo a long and ciroful training torit. The American performer’s 1dea scems to be that it is no matter whether the feat 18 done graceful'y or the reverse to long as it is boldly accompliched, and his seems to be the idea of A merican audiences als'; but with the European artistic grace and finish count for more than all else, and if a teat—no matter how difficult or daring—be performed without these, the achievoment, to him, is wholly devoid of merit " ‘‘How do salaries at the present day compare with those of the olden time?” “Well, though somewhat lower last season than for several yeurs past, they aro still at figures which would once have been though: fubulons. Before the late war 75 to $100 per week was a good sal ary for a first class rider, but now such a one would commund from $50 to $200 per week. OF course, the salaries of peo- ple of great reputstion, such as ¥ mo. Klise Dockrill, Charles W, Fish, Frank Melville sud James Fobinson, the great bareback riders, far exceed the above fizures, reching in scme instances as high as $410 or even €500 per week, and the eame applies to perforimers in every branch of the business Such clowns as years ago reocived £50 per week would now receive $100. The eslaries of the working-hanas, such as canvasmen, drivers, hostlers, the men who care for the animale, eto., have decrensed instead of increased, and these pe: ple are now more poorly paid than ever.” —e— The Farmeds Hog. Breeders’ Journal, The different breeds of hogs have their fast friends and no doubt they each have what their friends admire in them, but the average feoder who does not caro to raise pigs to sell for breeding pur poses, should strive to get a hog that will make him the most money for t e feed put tnto it. In the first place a hog should have a good coat of hsir; not bristlee, but hair. A black hog will not get scurvy on his buck; the suu will not blister nim, A hog should have a good constitution, with round sprung rio and good girth around the heart, short neck aud hesd well put on, short face and nose, tail put on not way up on his back aor yet too low down, hams round and well filed not too elugglsh disp wition nor yet too wild, By the purchase of the right kina of a male pig the feeder can raise just such pigs as he wants to foed, and have much more profitable and healthy animals than he can buy, The brood sows can be ran on clover pasture in summer at very little expense, and if provided with some good clover hay in winter it will reduce their feed bills. Not enough attention is paid to providing good pas'ures for pig: ; 'hey are wenerally kept in barren lot with & gen- erou d mud-hole in it, in which the water is 8o foul that just the smell of 1t is sickening, let alone having to drivk it. As for a change of pasture, it is nover thought of, on account of the troublo of fencing it. The sensible way to provide for them is to have enough land devoted to their use so the pigs can have a good aweet pasture of clover all the time, Do not keep them on the same old poisoned for ten years, but whon the grass gets run out, plow it and take off a couple of crops; then ro seed the olover, and then let their hogships take fresh ocmfort, health and fat from the new fresh ground and grass, Thisground will ther: supply the living for the pigs, whils in the other way of doing the pig lot Is full of wouds, bare of grass, aud the bare ground covered with mud and hog wal lows, Ton Literal f¢ mfort, From the Arkausaw Traveller, “Brandy,” said & man during a conver- | (" sation on temporance, *‘why. its the worst drink in the world. That's what killed Bill Fellers.” **Bill Fellera is not dead,” replied some one; *I saw him out in the mountsivs the other day.” “Well, no differencs”. said the hrst #peaker, “brandy is what will kill him,” “*I don't see how it can when he neve drinks a drop of it “Ah well, it what would kill him if he were to drink it. Youaro so confounded partioular that & man can't talk to you,” L — The richest private soldler who dled fn Eogland last year was Patrick Casoy, who had £106, 11s, 11d, WINNING A the Missourl with his left hand tied be- hind his back, his roward for this being the hand and heart in marriage of & bewitching (/) daughter of one of his fellow scalpers, The wonder of the feat was not only in awinming the treacherous stream, with one arm fastened firmly behind him, but in £ ing in water almost 8 cold as fce, with nis buckskin trousers and shirt on to catch the saud and threaten to pull him to the bottom, At 10 o'clock yestorday moriing the daring follow was in readiness, and his admirers, together with the girl of his choice, were on the bank, justabove the bridge, to seo him start. It was a thrilling and pathetio sceno. The young gallant gazed up and down the cold, treacherous atroam, while tho girl ki-yied and sang in & weird, mournful manuer, o seomingly plaintive love chant. It was a novel and certaiuly interesting scono. Every- thing was in roadiness, Tho young In- dian with a graceful wave of the right hand, and amid the encouraging shouts of the other reds, shook the hand of the fair prize for which he was risking his Jife, chopped off little aboriginal music in a sort of a good-bye-hello-if- 1-don’t seo-you-again air, and plunged into the river, A yell thon went up from the crowd of spcctators which caused the ea- pillary integument of the reportorial cra- vium to start zenithward at the rate of a wilea minute. The swimmer boldly doye from the bank and was lost frem view for a number of seconds, when he came to the surface several yords above the point from which he started, having mude along dingonal dive up and across the atream. He struck out boldly, paddling along with one hand, When he reached the middle of the stream he raised his arm and went atraight down, disappearing beneath the muddy surface. As the water closed over him the maiden who had been watch- g every movement with interest, man- ifested great nervous excitement, and juat as she was about to jumpinto the frail canoe which was half launched, her lover appeared with o carcless .oes of the bead, and his raven locks (lhated upon the surg- ing waters, As ho neared the opposite shore the admiring braves, lod by the girl, began waving their hando and singing a song of joy, and when ho reached the bank and stood facing his admirers, loud were the exclamations of gladness sent up from the puint where he started. 14 was indeea & wonderful feat—swim ming the stream with one arm com- pletely disabled, and wearing heavy buckskin pantaloons aud shirt, with no boat or body guard to accompany him. Rut ho accomplished it with apparent easo and for his roward received what to him was worth more than all else com- bined. The roporter was told tho wed- ding would take plrce at the camping grouads of the Indians, twenty miles north, next Tuesday. Among those who witneesed the feat were several strange ludians, who had been invited from afar to participate in the festivities of the wedding., e Tame The Month, Trogs are easily tamed. Dr, Towneon had two tame tree-frogs, which he named Damon and Mutidora, and placed a bowl of water in the window where they lived, which they regularl visited overy eve- ning. After half an hour passed by either of them In the water he used to tind that they had absorbed half their weight. They ejected water to a con- siderable distance, and often suflored their prey to remain before them un- touched a8 long as it was sti'!, but when it made the slightest motion they in- stantly seizod it. Dr. Townson made a provigion of dead flies for Musidora, to serve her durlug the winter, but she would never take them till he moved them with his breath., When flies could not be had, he tried cutting up some tortoise-flesh into very small pieces, moving them in the same manwer, At first Musidora seized them, but instantly rejected them from hor tongue. They evidently recognized Dr. Townson's voice, and approached him at his call. e — The charlatan O Donnell, who went through the country some time sy cloi ing to have two Chinese lepers to exhibit, ran for coroner at the late election in San Francisco, and the Chinesa raised a large “hoodle” smong themselves and bought votes agh to defeat hi Lamps: Lamps, Lamps, BIG DRIVE.
