One day, (sajd the Bay State pedIar,)
as | was driving along, fellow with load
OF tin came out Of a by-road, and followed
right along in my tracks

Yes, we will You must 60 ahead and

Well, DONE see how you can do it,

little, and then come back for your whip
or something you have dropped, and you
Can see how sell
WELL said ] so drove up to the

tlpman, who was reading the newspaper.
How do you dor says /, but he didn't

Feeding Pigs.

|. Avoid foul feeding
2 Do not omit adding salt in moderate
quantities to the mess given you will find
1t to yonr account in attending to this
B. Feed at regular intervals.
4. Cleanse the troughs previous to feed
ing
5. Do not overfeed-gve only as much
as will be consumed at the meal.
g. Vary your bill OF fare. Variety will
create, or, at all events, increase appetite,
and it is further most conductive to health !;
let yonr variations be guided by state of the
dung cast this should be of medium conss.
tence aud Of a grayish brown color if hard
increase the quantity Of bran and succuent
roots il too liquid, diminish or dispense
with bran, and let the mess be firmer; if
YOU add portion of corn, that which is
injured and thus rendered unfit for other
purposes will be fonnd to answer well.
7, Feed your stock separate in classes
according to their condition; keep sows in
young by themselves; stores by themselves
aud bacon hogs and pokers by themselves.
1t is not advisable to keep your stores too
high IN flesh, for high feeding is calculated
10 retard Development of form and bulk.
1t is better To feed pigs intended to be cut
up tor bacon loosely aud not too abundantIy,
until they have attained their full stature :;
You can bring them into the highest pos
slbIe condition in an inconceivabiy short
space of time.
g. Do not regret the loss or scarcity of
potatoes SO far as swine feeding is concern
ed. Its loss has been the means of stimu-
Iatng inquiry and producing experiments,
which have resulted in the discovery that
many other superior vegetables have been
hitherto neglected or fooIishly passed aside.
o. Do not neglect to keep your swine
clean, dry, and warm. These are essentials,
and not whit less imperative than feeding,
for an inferior description of food will by
their aid succeed far better than the high.
est feeding will without them; and suffer
me to relerate the benefit dervable from
aoash'ng your hogs; this will repay your
trouble manifold.
10. Watch the markets. Sell when you
see a reasonable profit before you. Many
and many man has swamped himself by
giving away to covetousness, and by de.
string TO realize an unusual amount Of
gain; recollect how very Auctuating are the
markets, and that certain gain is far bet
ter than the risk of loss.-Rurai Neu

How TO "FINIsH" A DAuGHTER-For
the attainment of this end Punch gives the
following directions -
l. Be always telling her how pretty she
2. Instill into her mind proper love Of
dress.
3. Accustom her to so much pleasure, that
she is never happy at home.
a. Allow her to read nothing but novels.
S. Teach her all the accomplishments,
but none Of the utilities of life.
6 Keep her in the darkest ignorance of
the mysteries OF housekeeping
7. Initiate her into the principle that it
is vulgar to do anything for herself
8. 70 strengthen the latter belief. lei her
have LADIES' maid.
9. And lastly, having given her such an
education, marry her to a clerk in the
Treasury upon ELS year, or to an ensign
that is going out to India.
If, with the above careful training, your
daughter is not finished, you may be sure
it is no fault of yours, and you must look
upon her escape as nothing short of mir

each. The first piece is good, without any
chess. The third piece is nearly all chess,
and not worth harvesting.
The editor adds the remark, that the
fact stated is of much value, and the prac-
tice of sowing a few oats with winter wheat
on soils on which it is apt to wlnter-kill,
should be more generally adopted The
oats kill out in the winter and afford protec-
ton and manure TO the wheat plant" Can
any of our Western correspondents give
US further experiments Of information in re-
gard to this practice! 1t is new to most
farmers in this section.-Ibid.

SowING OARS WITH WHEAT,-An Hi
nois correspondent of the Genessee Farmer
says he has repeatedly tried the experiment
of sowing oats with wheat, as a protection
from the severity of the winter. He first
sows one busheI of oats per acre, and then
puts the usual quantity of wheat, and har-
rows them in together. He has this season
three different pieces of wheat on the same
ground, all prepared alike On the first
piece he sowed with the wheat one bushel
of oats per acre on the second half BUSH
e on the third no oats at all. The same
kind aud quantity of wheat was sown on

THE FOUR PHILOSOPHERS.


THE FOUR PHILOSOPHERS.
-Four great philosophers
Come every year;
Teach in the open air,
Then disappear.
Winter IS the Stole,
30 chill and heroic:
He sits in the ain-breeze biting and pure;
And.when, Ito bring fear and doubt,
Damp nightly winds are nut,
Wraps an old cloak about-he eau endure
Spring, at duh hearts to mock,
Comes in a farming frock,
With garands and plonghshare a lesson doth give,
Ne sings through the field awhile
Turns up the soaking SOIL
All haste and laughing toi-brskIy can live.
Summer, with mantle free,
Epicurtan he,
LOlls in The cooling shade, like tired boy;
While blazing suns, unkind,
Leave the stout mower blind,
WheIe iaints the mountain wnd-he can enjoy.
Autumn, when all are done,
He'sihe good Christian one
Fills well the g,aneries, where seeds may lilo
New, coming years to bless;
Then, in his russell dress,
All hope and enthusiastically can die.

A CREDIToR's STRATAGEM "A week or
two ago, four creditors started from Boston,
in the same train of cars, for the purpose
of attaching the property of certain debt
or, in Pennington, Me. He owed each
one separately, and they each were suspi-
cious of the object of the other, but dared
not say word about it, So they rode,
acquaintance all, talking over everything
except that which they had most at heart
When they arrived at the depot at Far
mington, which was three miles from where
the debtor did his business, they found moth
ing to "puI 'em over the road" but soli-
tary cab, towards which they all rushed
Three got in and refused admiuance to the
fourth ; the cab started the fourth ran af-
ter, got upon the outside with the driver
He asked the driver if he wanted to sell
his horse He replied he did not want to
that he was not worth more than $50
but he would not sell him tor that He
asked him if he would take 500 for him.
Yes, said he. The fourth man quickly
paid over the money. took the reins and
backed the cab up to a bank-slipped it from
the harness, and tipped it up so that the
door could not be opened, and jumped up
on the horses back and rode off " lick-a-
ty.switch," while the insiders" were look
ing out of the window, feeling like singed
Gals. He rode to a lawyers, and got writ
made aud served, and his debt secure, and
got back at hotel just as the Crusaders" came
up putting and blowing The cabman soon
bought back his horse for $50 The "soId'
men offered to pay that sum, if the lortu.
nate one, who found property sufficient to
pay his own debr, would not tell of it in
