CHARCOAL AND SALT FOR SWINE,

Mr.. FREAs One of the best things in
the world for store hogs, is common charcoal.
Salt and birthstone are also of great bene-
fit.-We do not however wish to be under
stood as saying that these articles should be
kept constantly by them, or introduced ddily
into their food. The first is necessary to
correct the bad tendency of certain kinds of
aliment, and should besupplied in quantities,
varying from quart TO two quarts, as often
as once or twice week. Salt should be
more frequently given, but in smaller guam
titles. When not applied as seasoning in
their swill, it should be kept constantly in
their troughs.-Brimstone should be admin
lstered IN their mush, or in dough, say one
roll per month, or half roll every other
week. BY attending to these regulations, we
shall escape many unpleasant contingencies
and preserve our animals in a thrifty and
growing condition, and in the retention Of
perfect health w.

The NECESSITY OF DRoUGHT, AND IT'S BENE-
fiTs.-The State Agricultural Chemist of
Maryland, Mr.. Higgins, publishes a paper,
showing the necessity of having droughts to
replenlsh the soil with mineral substances,
carried of to the sea by the rains and also
taken up by the crops and not returned by
manure These two causes always in opera
lloh' would, in time. render the earth bar
ren waste, in which no verdure would quick
en' aud no solitary plant take root, if there
wa: not natural counteraction by drought,
sm Snich operates to supply this waste in the
iohowing manner. During dry weather, a
continual evaporation of water takes place
iioni the surface of the earth, which is not
supplied by any from the clouds. The evap-
Sia.lon Sn from the surface creates a vacuum, so
su "a, as water is concerned, which is at once
80 eu py lhe water rising up from the subsoil
" tue iahd the water from the subsoil is
.Ipiaced from the next strata below. and in
en's manner the circulation of water in the
IN ,n va 10 the reverse to that which takes place
a. et weather. With this water also ascend
an5 ne minerals held in solution, the phosphates
of Sr saiphates OF lime, carbonate and silicate
~ ~ potash and soda, which are deposited in
fins 'aoe sa1.0 sou as the water evaporates, and
statos seS'1res ore the losses sustained as above

seot aate taken considerable pains to verify the
TI oy number Of interesting experiments

amount ofnutriment matter which is capable

knowledge OF this fact, the cultivation of it

KITTEN GOSSIP.
BY T. wEsTwooD.

Kitten, kitten, two months old,
Woody snow ball, lying snug,
Curl'd up in the warmest fold
Ofthe warm hearth rug,
Turn your drowsy head this way.
What is life Oh Kitten, say
"Life 2" said the Kitten, winking her eyes,
And twitching her tail in a drol surprise
Lille 2-Oh, it's racing over the floor,
Out at the window and in at the door;
Now on the chair back, now on the table
Mid balls of cotton and skeins of silk
And crumbs of sugar and jugs of milk,
All so cosy and comfortable
It's patting the little dogs ears, and leaping
Round him and DER him while he's sleeping
Waking him up in sore alright,
Then off and away like flash flight,
Securing and scampering out ofsight.
Life Oh, its rolling over and over
On the summer green turf and budding
clover
Chasing the shadows as fast as they run,
Down the garden paths in the midday sun,
Prancing and gambolling, brave and bold,
Climbing the tree stems, scratching the
mould,
"Thats Life r said the Kitten two months
old.
Kitten, Kitten, come sit on my knee,
And 1.-THE and listen, Kitten TO me J
One by one, oh one by one,
The sly, swift shadows sweep over the sun
Daylight dieth, -kittenhood's done.
And, Kitten, oh the rain and the wind
For cat-hood cometh with careful minu'
And grave cat-duties follow behind.
Hark there's sound you cannot hear;
I'll whisper its meaning liz your ear
licei
fTbe Kitten stared with her great green
eyes,
And twitched her tail in a queer surprise,-)
Nice!
No more tit bits, dainty and nice;
No more mischief and no more play;
But watching by night and sleeping by day,
Prowling wherever the foe doth lurk--
Very short commons and very sharp work.
And, Kitten, oh the hail and the thunder
That's blackish cloud, but Attackers under
Hark but you'll fall from my knee, fear,
When l whisper that awful ordinyour ear
R-r-r-rdts!
(The Kittens heart beat with great pit-pats, |
But her whsker quiver'd, and from their
sheath
Flashed out the sharp, white, pearly teeth.) |
R-r-r-rdts
The scorn of dogs, but the terror of rats;
The cruellest foes and the fiercest fighters;
The sauciest thieves and the sharpest biters, |
But Kitten, | see you've stoutish heart,
SO, courage and play an honest part;
Use well your paws,
And strengthen your claws,
And sharpen your teeth and stretch your
jaws
Then woe to the tribes ofpickers and steaRrs,
Nibblers, and gnawers. and evil dealers!
But now that you know Lifes not precisely |
The thing you fancy pictured so nicely,
Off and away! race over the floor,
Out OF the window and in at the door
Roll on the turf and bask in the sun,
Ere night time cometh, and kittenhood's done. |

to great extent founded on the acts of assembly
will be a, aving Of labor to the pleader and con-
duce to safety and brevty in our pleadings.
It should be in the hands of every practising

to recommend it. iii were generally used il

matters which are often very carclessly done.
