While there i* difference of opinion among practical breeders a* to the economy oi full feeding all clatse* of cattle and sheep during tummer, there is more general agreement thai, as a rule, it is wise to feed both pigs and older hog* liberally all through the season. The great value ol tome green food for begs i* alto generally recognized. Good clover sjaature u on* ol the best place* for both brood sows and their pig*. A mixture of graa* is desirable rather than otherwise. Of all the perhap* blue rra** is best liked by the hogs. Orchard grass hat advantages fro It early and luxuriant growth, and because f it* nnuraal rapidity of growth after being cut or eaten oil even in dry weather when blue grass grows slowly or scarcely at all. We much like rye fsr spring pasturage of tow* and pigs. It start* it* growth very early in spring and is quit* palatable to the hogs. When oo other provision has been mart* it will b* worth while to try early sowing of spring rye with clover This can not b* pastured so early a* that sown in the fall, bet often give* a gesd lot of food. Some lea** the fals-sow* rye to mature after pattajrusg, and allow the hog* to harveet the gown. A mrclure of oat* and field pea* i* much liked by a good many hog rawer*.

This shortens the time between morning and noon feeds, liive a boras a chance to eat hay a while and he will eat the grain more slowly. If the hones are to work, after breakfast they are harosed and watered, after which work is proceeded with. A* I never bring horse* from the field too waim to water, at noon they are watered, fed hay and grain before going to dinner. 1 want nothing to hurry me after dinner a* I usually sit and read a while. The hor*ea are watered again before going to work in the afternoon. At night they are watered, and in warm weather if much sweaty, are unharnessed and washed all over before going to the stable and during warm weather, they are washed about twice a week whether they are tweaty or not. And if not washed they are curried as soon u brought in at they are usually dryer then than they will be in half an hour. (Shoulder* are washed twice a day when washing).

Krlllth Velnnleenwakral'rr lllai.le w.in-h Thnnsch MrseU larked by t ram . An interacting teat wa* mad* recently of the ability of the bm th Volunteer* in and around London to assemble rapidly and march againat an enemy supposed to be attacking that city, it wa* a wholly novel experiment in England, at least on -:uch a le, because it involved march** in the dark, through street* blocked by traffic, instead of the usual daylight manoeuvre* iu open country. Lord Methuen, who com- mand* the Home Dutrict, fixed the affair for a Saturday evening, beginning at half- pact 5,and with dismissal so that tha troop* could reach their home* in good *ea*on that night. ThaFoot 'Jnard* marched with the Volunteers, furnishing a standard of comparison. Tha theory wa* that an enemy was ad- vancing on London from south of Mituh*m ; that th* cavalry brigade from London anl a battery of artillery had been sent oat, and that " the garrison at the West End and the East, North, South, and West London and Surrey Volunteer Brigade* are ready to march from their several rendez- vous a quarter of an boor after receipt of order. ' THE POC I'OIXTS chiefly to be tested were whether the Vol- unteers could be relied upon to turn out in nncomfortable winter weather in full strength; whether sevec columns, perhap* Ib'.UOO ttrong, could march '(Uie'ly and in good fo.-mation through the street* ot Lon- don without incommoding the traffic or being themtelvet delayed by it ; whether the ordinary rate of marching wa*urticient under such circumstance*; whether, finally, an order given secretly to seven commander* could be kept secret until the march had commenced. It appear* from the account* that although the mud wa* thick in th* streets and the road* in th* suburb, were slippery with hardeue-l snow, creditable msrcnea were made to the destination, which turned out to be Clapham Common. The returns made of th* number* did not tally very closely with those that actually marched, but, on the whole, the latter we reconaid*red satisfactory. The column* did not collide, although one of them loit a rifle corpe, which joined another column . Th* traffic wat interfered with at only oue point. The order* were kept secret, ami the troop* generally march- ed in tilenca, although some indulged in talking anil smoking. Th* ordinary pace wa* found lutficient, and in fact two column*, whic>i may have quickened it on account of the sold, arrived before the time, which wa* a fault a* well a* that of being late. The movement, taken at a whole, was extremely simple, and perhaps oovey* N.> \BK\ ritOFUUND Ls,o. The order to move wa* dated " Hone Guards, .~>.30," and it may b* assumed that the columns started before ti o'clock, and unatioo* by 7. 15 o'clock. wa* not a vary severe one, after 7 the column* ttarte.1 Uoaneward. However, one point of import- ance brought out wa* the excelletit work performed by the body of cyclists who kept the Commanding lleneral informed of tbe progress of the columns. "Communication, ' says L*rd ntethewn, " could scarcely have been kept up by mounted orderliw, tns roads being like ice in many enpoaed parts." He found tnat there was rather too much not** in the movements, in view f the fact that werde of command called out loudly at night may give an enemy hi* only information. H* also observed that ages at night should b* written " leg. ihly and with a very soft pencil. One other point suggested i* that move- moata of considerable importance can b* practised, wi'hout undue .-ails upon the leisure of eituen soldiers, by simplicity of plan. Next winter Lord Methuen proposoe 44 to go a *t*p further " with a more com- plicated scheme. His object seem* to be that ef making the Volunteers familiar with military duty under the circumstance)* ot any sudden call to active service.
