sell from $1 ,oO to 1,5O per busnel, and the cost of picking is 20 cents per bushel.
 MT. F. A. Hayden, of Lincoln. has gathered from his farm in Lincoln, this season, 400 bushels of Cranberries, which he sold in Boston last week, for 5000.
 From the Nesc- -Engi0snd Farmer . ,.., 1. FGtte"iag SsOine.-While hogs are fat ting, little or none of the wash from the kitchen should be given them. Their drink should be water, which they relish better than any other drink, and of which they will drink good deal when they are fed only on corn or stiff dough. To prevent measles and other disorders in hogs, while they are fatting, and to in crease their health and appetite, dose or two ot birthstone, or anti.nony given them in their dough, is useful and should not be neglected. sa. s4 ,s E-
 Some change of food may be advisable in every stage of their existence, for their appetite. But while they are fatting, lax atlVe food in general should be avoided, as these animals are seldom known to suffer from costiveness, especially when they are full fed, but often from the contrlry disor- der. If they are costive a little rye will help them. ..ea
 In feeding, steady care should be taken that one meal should not be missed or mis- timed, and their water should never be for gotten. They should always have as much as they will eat clean; but never more than that quantity lest they defile it aud it be wasted. A little at time and often is good rule. . ..a.
 If their skin be scurvy, or inclined to manginess, little oil poured upon their backs will cause it to come of. And some say small mess rye now and then, as change in their food, is good against these and other disorders. ,
 If the issues in the fore legs should hap pen to get stopped, every attempt to fatlen them would be vain. These, therefore, should be watched. and if found to be stop ped, they should be rubbed open with corn cob.
 Rubbing and currying their hides very frequently is of advantage to keep perspi- ration. It is grateful to the animals, as we'll as conducive to their health and growth. A proper scrubbing post in the middle of their pen will not be amiss and during tho whole time of their fatting, they should have plenty oflitter. They will lie the more dry and warm. and it will be more than paid for, by the increase of ma nure. When hogs are killed, single one should not be left to live alone in the pen. It will be apt to pine too much after its companions. And in cold weather it will suffer for want of lodging so warm as it has been accustomed to. asf"
 4 Working Man.-In very improved and civilized community, there are numer- ous individuals, who, without being em- ployed in any of the common branches of industry or of professional pursuit, connect themselves, nevertheless, with tho pros perity and happiness of the public, and fill a useful and Honorable place in it's service. Take for instance, man like Sir Walter Scott, who probably never did days work in his life, in the ordinary accepta,ion of the term, and who has for some years re. tired from the subordinate station he filled in the profession of the law, as sheriff o the county and clerk of the Court. He has written and published at least two hun. dred volumes of wide cireulatiol,. What a vast amount of the industry of the commit nity is thereby put in motion !-The book sellers, printers, paper-makers, press-ma- kers, type-makers, book-binders, leather dressers, ink-makcrs, and various other arr tisans, required to print, publish, and circu- late the hundreds and thousands of volumes ofthe different works which he has written, must be almost numberless. have not the least doubt, that since the series of his publications began, if all whose industry; directly or remotely,-has been concerned in them not only in Great Britain, but in America and on the continent of Europe, could be brought together and stationed side by side, as inhabitants of the same place, they would form very considera- ble town. Such person may be fairly ranked as working man.gart4 -ass
 And yet take this to be the least of Si' Walter Scott's deserts. I have said noth- ing of the service rendered to every clas: and every individual in every class, by the writer, who beguiles of their tedious ness the dull hours of life; who animate' the principle of goodness within us, by glowing pictures of struggling virtue !; wht furnishes our young men and women witt books, which they have read with interest and not have their morals poisoned as they read them. Our habits, our principles
