TO keep Ahh.es for Hinter use.--Put
them in casks or bins, in layers, well covered
with dry sand each layer being covered
This preserves them from the air from mois-
ture, and from frost; it prevents their per-
ishing by their own perspiraton, their mois-
tare being absorbed by the sand; at the
same time, it preserves the favour of the
apples, and prevents their willing. pppins
have been kept in this manner sound and
fresh, till midsummer; and how much long
er they would have kept is not known. Any
kind Of sand will answer, but it must be per-

Thursday, Nov'r. 8, 1926.

A week OF two ago, we made call upon
the farmers Of this State, for an account OF
something of an animal or vegetable nature,
remarkable for size or quantity, which had
grown upon their lands; that they, as Weil
as those in other sections o. our country,
might boast of what their land is capable OF
producing.
Our friend, MIR. Azaria Foster of Christi
ana Bridge, has sent US an account OF supe-
rior crop Of corn raised by him this year,
which we think is better worth boasting of
and is more substantial proof of the excel
lent condition of his land, than raising NAM
moth radishes, turnips or cucumbers.-aear
what he says.
II put IL acre and - square rods OF
ground in corn, in which planted 3342 hills,
OF 1884 stalks; but from the number of hills
that missed, suppose there was not quite
"a acre in grain; which produced me 22l
bushels of goe,i ears, which, when shelled,
will make 1loa bushels Of corn, tor market
This is more than 70 bushels Of corn to the
acre.
Yours respectfully.
AZARIA FOSTER"
We hope Mr.. Foster will inform US of the
mode he pursued in tlling his corn.
A. M. Schee, Esq, Post Master at Dover,
informs US that he has at this time, Plumb
tree growing in his yard, planted lastspring,
in full bloom. We hope Mr.. s. will realize
crop Of fruit before winter.

CIDER,

Good cider can be made any where, of
good fruit, by the following method:-When
your apples are we'll ground, wet your straw
with the juice instead of water; put some
straw in cask next your receiving tub,
with blanket on it, to fltrate or strain it
then put it into good clean strong cask im-
mediately; suffer it to have as little air as
possible. to prevent fermentation. When
eour cask is full, bung it up tight, and re-
npye it to your cellar, not to be disturbed for
one month at least. This cider will retain
its sweetness far years, and be as clear as
needful; it will be fit for boteling in four
weeks. 1t should not be removed in the
cask it was put up in, but racked into an
ther. II there be any who doubt this mode,
let them try one cask after the above me
yhod. The foregoing is certified from expe-
1ience,

"Twas thine own genius gave the fatal blow,
And help'd to plant the wound that laid thee
low;
sothe struck eagle, stretch'd upon the plain,
No more thro' rolling clouds to soar again,
View'd his own feather on the fatal dart,
Which winged the. shaft that quivered in his

Keen were his pangs, but kecncr far to feel
He nurs'd the pinion which impell'd the steel;
While the same plumage that had warm'd his

Drank the last drop of his bleeding breast"

Feeding Saline 7pHh .4corn8-A friend of
ours, has brought US small bush of what he
called scrub oak, bearing as we should Judge,
more than one quart of acorns; and states.
that he has fed and improved 20 swine upon
these nuts for weeks, without the use of any
other nutriment, except the common offals
Of family. His method is to take hay-
cart into his lot, and cut the most fruitful
stocks OF branches in the vicinity and soon
gathers load. He then deals them to his
ohgs in sufficient quantities; and soon as they
have gathered the fruit, the brush is remov-
ed.-The hogs feed upon them with avidity
and appear to thrive. AS is impractcable
to have hogs roam at large over pastures and
woodland, and thus helping themselves to
the STAT ofthe land" would it not be good
policy of our farmers, who have great guam
titles of these articles on their farms, to try
the experiment. If it can be proved that
acorns are good for swine, and can be gath
cred at triAing expense, it is worthy of at
tention; thereby converting an otherwise
useless shrub to profit Concord ia.

An Oriental Poem, BY tie ate Dr. Jennc

MN.
An Oriental Poem, 5ytAe late ID, Jenncr.
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the grass is low;
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cohwebs peep
Last night the sun ent pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid ner head;
The boding shepherd heaves sigh,
For see a rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are damp, the bitches smell,
Clos'd is the pink-cy'd d pimpernell.
IIark! how the chairs and tables crack,
Old Betty's joints are OH the rack;
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry;
The distant hills are looking nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine,
The busy flies disturb the kline:
Low DER the grass the swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how sharp he sings;
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wping DER her whisker'd jaws.
The frog has chang'd his yellow vest,
And in rlsset coat is drest
Tho June, the air is cold and still;
The mellow black birds note is shrill
Ny dog, SO all er'd in his taste,
Quits mutton bones on grass to feast
And see, yon rocks, how odd their flight,
They initiate the gliding kite,
And seem prcciptate to fall
As ifthey felt the piercing ball.
Twill surely rain, see, with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off till morrow,
