Rape is a healthful food for hogs,
and we have never known of an in
stance where they have been injured
by it, though it sometimes causes
bloating in cattle and sheep, if they
are allowed to eat too much of it.
Os course hogs cannot live on rape
alone, but if fed with a w r ell bal
anced ration and allwed to roam
freely in a field of rape they will
make rapid and healthful growth.
They need green feed just as much
as they need corn and other stock
feeds.
Farmers are just beginning to learn
the great value of rape as food for
hogs, many of them are already mak
in a liberal use of it. And those
who are rot would do well to try the
experiment of using it this season.—

USE OF THE RECALL IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.
Americans are apt to think the re
call is a new American institution,
whereas it has existed in England
from time out of mind, and in France
it has just upset the Monis ministry
and installed a new premier and a
new cabinet. Nearly all European
countries have ie, and so does Japan
and so will China soon have it. The
French cabinet went dowm because it
was trying to appropriate and elect
deputies in a new manner.
