GOOD HOGS.

Mr.. Cyrus Stow, of Concord, Mass,
gives US an account of four Suffolk pigs,
fatted by him. We saw them a short
time before they were killed, and noticed
that, though not remarkably large, they
had great weight of carcass for the bone
and ofal. They were bred by G. B.
Clark. Mr.. Stow says:
"These four pigs Gall sows) I bought
on the 8th of February last. They
weighed 145, 40, 1870, 1OO-total 523
lbs. at 1-2 cents-$27,4 6. Deduct for
shrinkage forty per cent, would leave

them. They were killed on the 10Th Of
December, and weighed 449, 374, 366.

The DYKES of Holland.

The dykes, at first sight, strike the be-
holder as no extraordinary work; and 1t
is not until we find that considerable
part of the country of Holland lies some
twenty-four feet beneath the level of the
sea at high-tide, and that it has merely a
fence of mpd-banks to fortify the land
AGAINST the terrors of invasion from the
host of waters about it, that the mind be-
comes awakened to the vastness and I'M
portance of the structures. Nor Is 1t IN
summertime, when the surrounding nv
ers are half dried up, and the ocean with
out is placid and beautiful as some vast
lake. that we are able to arrive at a sense
of the protection afforded by the belt
of sea--walls to the people within
them; but only during the tempests OF
winter. when the terrible waves are tow
ering to the sky, like liquid mountains,
and the tide has risen many feet above
its usual height, owing to the immense
body of water from the Atlantic having
been driven by the gales across the Ger
man ocean towards the narrow straits OF
Doy er, and there being damned up as Ii
were, so that the vast food is forced back
upon the Dutch coast, and leans all its
) stupendous weight against the ridge Of
dykes around the Nether-country. 1t is
at such times, indeed, that we learn how
much property and how many lives de
pend upon the strength Of these SAINT
ocean bulwarks. 1t is fearfully interest
ING then to walk at the foot of one Of the
great dykes, and to hear the heavy waves

CARROTS FOR SWINE.

According to Arthur Young, carrots
and parsnips are better food for swine'
while fattening, than potatoes, and some
persons do not hesitate to assert that
parsnips are superior to either for feed
inc them. A writer in one Of the En-
glish agricultural journals asserts that
they fatten all their pork in the island OF
Jersey on this root. They contain
large amount of saccharine matter, and
in this important particular are superior
to carrots: and it is well known that no
vegetable fattens swine more rapidly
than sugar cane. Perhaps in this re-
spect the French sugar beet is superior
to the parsnip, as it exceeds it in the
amount of the sugar-making principle
but whether, on the whole, it would be
as salutary, when used as constant diet,
is matter admitting, we think, of some
doubt. The quantity of these roots,
which, under favorable circumstances,
may be grown on an acre, is much great
er than has generally been supposed
Of carrots, we believe as many as SIX
teen hundred bushels per acre have been
realized in this state, but such yield is
only to be expected, Of course, where
the ground is in very high degree OF
cultivation, and where great care and at
tention are bestowed on the crop. But
supposing one half of this large amount
can be produced, and allowing the roots
to possess a value equal to potatoes fol-
feeding swine and other domestic ami.
mails, we shall perceive that the balance
will be considerably in favor of the for
mer. The labor of tending an acre o
carrots or parsnips, is, it is true, consid
erably greater than that involved in tn,
cultivation Of the same extent cultivated
in potatoes; yet this is not aNloss.

SINGULAR APPLE.-An apple was
brought into the Boston market for the
first time the present season, from New
Hampshire, where it has received the
name of " No-bLoU" 1t is a most re-
markable apple in its appearance, as well
as in its character. 1t is about as near
square as round. for it is neither. Its
shape is oblong, and it looks like club
foot. 1t is passably good apple for eat
ing or cooking. The tree on which it
grows stands in pasture, where it is said
to have come up from a dropped seed,
and never blossoms-the fruit rarely hav-
ing any seed! Some of the specimens
have little green coated protuberances
around the calyx, butthey contain no seed
The apple is not entirely coreless, having
the usual appearance of an apple core il
the flesh, but wholly without seeds. The
following is description of the fruit a;
accurately as we can give it:
Size above medium but not large, meas
uring ten and half inches in circum
ference over the stem and calyx ends
and eight and half around the middle @
the apple; color greenish5 speckled wit

ted like Baldwin, on one side. Ster

cavity. One side of the apple resemble
Baldwin, and most Of the other side

+ and favored like the Baldwin and Rhod
Island greehing, becoming tender an
pleasant to the taste. The calyx is a
, most without abasin, being the mere gath
ering in of the skin, having little gree
protuberances around it, looking like see
vessels. The shape of the fruit is yer

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTAL Gu
rious circumstance connected with the
growth Of clover is, that by cutting the
clover twice and removing all the hay,
much better wheat crop is obtained
than by feeding ii off by sheep, even if
some artificial food is used. This is ow-
ing to the fact that the growth of the
roots of clover in the land is in exact
proportion to the growth of the leaves in
the air. Each leahet that shoots upward
sends radicle or root downward. II
the leafet be bitten off or destroyed, its
radicle ceases to grow. 1t therefore fol
lows that grazing clover by sheep mate
rally diminishes the amount of vegetable
matter accumulated in the soil by tn,
roots, and consequently the produce of thu
succeeding crop.
! The above is sustained by the follow
ing:
"A friend of mine in Northampton
shire had field of clover; it was div
ded into two portions, both were cut &
midsummer, and one part was fed 0
with sheep, and the other left to grow ii

HIGHER.

Higher! is a word of noble meaning,
the inspiration of all great deeds-the
sympathetic chain that leads, link by link,
the imprisoned soul to its zenith of glo
ry, and still holds its mysterious object
standing and glittering among the stars.
Higher! lisps the infant that claspsits
parents knees, and makes its feeble essay
to rise from the foor-it is the first aspi-
ration of childhood-to burst the narrow
confines of the cradle in which its sweet
moments have been passed forever.
Higher! laughs the proud school-boy
at his swing-or as he climbs the tallest
tree of the forest, that he may look down
on his less adventurous companions with
flush of exultation, and abroad over the
fields of his native village. He never
saw so extended a prospect before.

dent of philosophy and nature he has a
host of rivals, but he must eclipse them
all. The midnight oil in his lamp burns
dim, but he finds light and knowledge in

behind the curtains of the morning.
And higher! his voice thunders forth,
when the dignity of manhood has invest.

with delight, TO his oracles burning with
eloquence and ringing like true steel il

INDIAN WAR IN OREGON.-Dates
from Oregon are to the 14th Dec. The
Indian war was raging with increased
fury. The Oregon mounted volunteers
under Lieut.. Kelly, attacked the Indians
at Fort Walla Walla, Dec. 8, and fought
them forty-eight hours, losing eight killed
and eleven wounded. Among the killed
were Capt. Bennett and Lieut.. Barrows.
The Indians lost their chief and fifty
men. The volunteers were short of am
munition, and had sent to Fort Henrietta
for supplies.
Gen. Wool is at Fort Vancouver, in
bad health, arranging preliminaries for a
campaign.
Two steamers had departed f1m San
Francisco with ordnance supplies and
stores for Gen. Wool.
Dates from Washington territory are
to the 18th Dec. A party under Lieut.
Slaughter had been surprised at the fork
of White and Green rivers, by larg'
party of Indians. Lieut.. S. and thre'
others were killed.

Farewell brick school-house, fare thee WELL

Who went within those " old brick" walls
To labor heart and hand.
Methinks | see them here to day,
In their accustomed place,
For memory brings at once to me
Each dear familiar face.
But while list for voices sweet,
An echo far away
Is borne along on unseen wings,
And whispers where are they?"
All! well know they are not here,
For times unstaying hand
Has scattered them like autumn leaves,
And broken that loved band.

A heartfelt, sad farewell;
But joyous days and parting scenes

But will not time some future day,
Unite that broken band,
And clasp again the chain Of love
Within the spirit land?
Within those old brick" walls alone,
I dropped parting tear,
For all were gone-the last good bye
Had sounded in ny car.
The school bells welcome call win ring
Again upon the airi
And youthful voices there will lisp
Their grateful morning prayer;
Aud songs Of praise again will rise,
But shah heed them not,
Tho mem'ry win revisit oft
That dear remembered spot.
