At trial in the Court of Kings Bench, June,
1883, between certain publishing tweedledums
and twedledees, as to an alleged piracy of an ar

composer, was subpenaed as a witness by one of
the parties. On his cross examination by Sir
James Scarlette afterwards Lord Abinger, for
the opposite side, that learned counsel rather

same, but different. What do you mean by that,
sir? o.

Reiterated shouts Of laughter, by the whole
court, in which the Bench itself joined, followed
this repartee. Silence being at length obiain-

Lord Denman--''Are you now satisfied, Sir

Sir James, (wlio, deep red as he naturally was,
to use poor jock Reeves own words, had become

And go down he did, amidst renewed laugh

brothers, except one, who didn't see any joke in

FATTENTNG HOGS.

The experience Of few practical farmers in
this vicinity, with regard to the best method Of
fattening hogs, have gathered FOR the benefit
OF use s,sffsssissa. :,
the hope that the suggestions herein contained
may be to their interest More than four hogs
Of orthnary size should never be placed in pen,
ten feet square, for the purpose Of fattening, and
they should be selected from those that have
been raised together, and US near as possible of
Of size, for each pen. as they dislike strange
bed-fsllows Every farmer has an abundance
Of green food at this season, and should, there
fore, put them up while The weather is Tempe
rate POtato-vInes, or bgrass, and green corn<
stalks, contains large lantities OF nutritious
juices; and green coru can be easily digested,
and appropriated othe useof the annimai while
much Of it, when given ina dry ear state, is lost.
II 10 asserted by auslsrity deserYing of credit,
that the consumation and waste Of food o supply
animal heat in cold weather is enormous, and
that farmers who have much stock 70 fatten in
cold cliDlatss would save money by constructing
houses Cor the purpose, with steam pipes at
tached, by which the atmosphere could be kept
moderately warm. Food should always be Civ
en,in state easily dlgestible, as it is prinea
OF the animal economy that accs-.' ua aase.,l. o,
exercise is conductive to health whereby the
digestive powers Of the stomach are kept per-
AcctS am HOgss Ny REASON aOl COMMENCEMENT, NOT
having this opportunity therefore, it is essen
TALLY requisite their food should be prepared
Every farmer should plant small quantities Of
corn at different periods, beginning in March and
ending inJune. He would then bave green food
from Augesttill October. When green food can
no Anger be had, dry corn, peas, or potatoes
should be cooked. Hogs should have rotten
wood or charcoal often to correct accidity, and
small quantities Of ashes thrown into their food
occasionally, TO expel worms. Grass, weeds
&c., should be supplied freely for bedding ant
manure, and a covering of boards or brick,
placed over the pens, 10 protect the hogs from
the heat Of the sun and weather. The food
should be cii4Iiged one OF two days in tho week
and the occasional use of salt in small quantities
may prove servieeable but large quantities have
been known to prove fatal. Such is the course
annually pursued successful to farmers in this
section. Should you deem these few hints worthy
a space in the s'Doilar," will endeavor in my
next to treatesomewhat upon the construction o.
pens for the saving manure, SIC. c..
