Dishwater and Pigs.— About dishwater— 
there is soap and soap. Homemade soap is 
healthful as you say on account of the 
potash contained in it, but I regret to say 
that in these modern limes many good 
housekeepers use, or permit to be used, 
soap powder—so-called—in the dishwater, 
and that is the sort that proves fatal. We 
have a dozen as fine little pigs as ever sold 
for $3 apiece; the mother was kept all 
Winter on dishwater and silage. m. b. 
For a Kicking Cow.—I am interested in 
Julia, the kicker. Of all the devices against 
kicking that you have printed. I have not 
.seen the one that I recommend. Place cow 
alongside of a partition or the side of the 
stable; attach to the manger on the side 
of the cow on which you milk a plank in 
such a manner that when you take hold of 
the other end you can swing It to or from 
the cow. You can tell when the plank Is 
the right length by trying It. Take hold of 
the plank and bring it up to the cow, and 
fasten it to the partition behind the cow. 
It must be Just high enough so that you 
can reach under it and milk comfortably. 
This should pinch her hind quarters up to¬ 
gether so that it would be impossible for 
her to kick. You must be sure she cannot 
move ahead. Have everything strong. 
After you get this arrangement fixed prop¬ 
erly you will find it a very simple thing 
to pick up the end of the plank and fasten 
it behind the cow. p. k. h. 
Connecticut. 
R. N.-Y.—We hit upon a plan much like 
this with a swinging frame to press up 
against the cow. It holds her still.

“Widowhood makes a woman un¬ 
selfish.” “Why so?” ‘Because she 
ceases to look out for No. 1 and begins 
to look out for No. 2.”—Town and Coun¬ 
try. 
“Madam, are you a woman suffragist?” 
“No, sir. I haven’t time to be.” “Haven’t 
time? Well, if you had the privilege of 
voting, whom would you support?” 
“The same man I have supported for the 
last 10 years—my husband.”—Punch. 
The Rev. Goodman: “You are a very 
noble little fellow. Tommy. Now. tell 
me what deep underlying principle 
prompted you to forgive those wicked 
boys who called you ugly names?” 
Tommy: “They was all bigger than me.”

“Yon seem to think.” sternly remark¬ 
ed the chairman of the commissioners 
engaged in investigating the beef trust, 
“there’s something funny In cornering 
mess pork.” “Yes, sir,” said the pack¬ 
er. “I can’t help laughing. Haven’t 
you seen how I’m holding my sides?”— 
Chicago Tribune. 
La Montt: “Children are so much 
worse than they used to be. What do 
you attribute it to?” La Moyne: “Im¬ 
proved ideas in building.” I^a Montt: 
“What has that to do with it?” La 
Moyne: “Much. Shingles are scarce, and 
you can’t spank a boy with a tin roof.”

“A wrDowER,” remarked the elderly 
female, “always reminds me of a baby.” 
“How’s that?” queried the young girl. 
“During the first six months he cries 
a great deal.” replied the elderly female; 
“the next six months he begins to take 
notice and the odds are against his get¬ 
ting safely through his second Summer.” 
—Chicago News. 
SvMP.\THETTO Gentt.eman: “Little 
girl! Ivittle girl! What in the world is 
making you cry so?” Little girl (doubled 
up and weeping): “I have the earache 
in my stummlck! Wow-ow-ow!” Sym¬ 
pathetic Gentleman: “Earache in your 
stomach! Impossible! How do you 
make that out?” Idttle Girl: “It
