HOOPS.

TtoS.
Yes, hoop. hurrah ye noble lords,
Well Join you in the shout.
And trust that ere the echo dies,
You'll learn what you're about.
vive les Hoops o let it ring,
On hill top and in vale,
For we would spread their glory far
These skeletons Of whale.
U blame US not because we wear
The thing that you detest.
For remember 'iis way we have,
To wear what we like best.
And if you cannot bear to see
Our nounccs have their day,
Just turn your modest heads aside,
And look another way.
What if it is foreign mode !
You're not behind US far,
You show it in your short-toed boots,
And all the clothes you wear.
And We have as much a right - Hoops
IA any of you men
Have right to curl your pet goatecs-
A Ia Napolienne
Ye married lords, with woful phiz,
Who cast your eyes askant,
When teazing wife to take them off,
She sharply says Il shant,"
Go. and in penitence and tears,
Bow down those he ads Of thine.
And mourn that all your sins cant hide
Meath woman's Crinolinel
Ye single lords .''tis distance lends
Enchantment to :he view,"
Ard we would keep you all at bay,
To prove the saying true.
For we have found too oft, alas,
Despite your lordv pride.
There's many a snakey tongue behind
The grass that grows outside.
And as to these great busger-boos.
The more that you shall dread EN-.
And the louder you shall preach 'em down,
The wider we will spread EN-.
II that won't do, then hearken this
With nounces far unfurled,
We will start you all to Jordan;
And monopolize the world!

best when planted l ! inches deep. Flax aud
rutn baga turnips half an inch. Barley and
oats will do well planting two inches deep.
Corn half an inch: and but few plants should
be planted over u inches deep. The best
drilling machine in France was invented by
lawyer. 1t weighs 220 pounds, is drawn by
one horse, and sows ten acres day.

zee wREoK OF TEE REINDEER:

The wreck of the i'll fated steamer
Reindeer near Point Sauble has been
visited by Mr.. Davidson, Marine In
spector at Chicago. He found it sur
rounded by wreckers, who were gather
ing up all the valuables they could lay
their hands on, and watching for the
dead bodies to rob them. Only two
bodies of twenty-three persons drowned
had foated ashore. Tho fragments of
the steamer and freight strew the shore
for twenty miles. The engine and boil
ers are in about fifteen feet water, and
can be recovered.
The two survivors of the wreck have
been brought to Chicago. They state
that on the afternoon Of October 10Th a
terrific gale was encountered from the
southwest, accompanied with a binding
snow storm, which rendered it impossi-
bic to see more than a few yards ahead
of the vessel.
Capt Patterson used every endeayor
to beat up against the gale, but as the
evening drew near it was deemed use
less to attempt it. To save her from
being driven too far towards shore, the
anchor was dropped but it was not
long before they we're compelled to cut
it and let it go. While the vessel thus
labored against the elements, a heavy
sea struck her upper cabin and carried
it completely away, when the water
rushed in and extinguished the fires
After this, the lower cabin and deck
began to break up, and the steamer was
left to the fury of the boiling waters
Capt. Patterson nobly stood by the
wheel all the time, and kept her head
right, but without sail or steam what
could be done on such a night? Two
or three hours were passed in the most
dreadful suspense-every moment ex-
pected to be their last. At length
about one Or two o'clock in the morning
she struck alb 1t one thousand feet from
the shore, and almost Immediately went
to pieces. The crew chung in the masts
with seeming desperation, but the surg
ing pillows soon dashed them on frag-
ments of the wreck and either killed or
stunned them, or washed them out into
the lake. The two fremen escaped in
a manner quite astonishing to them
selves. One of them held on TO a plank
and the other got hold of a couple of oars
and were washed ashore-they kno10,
not h0aO.

PIGS AND pIGGER1Es.

We never could conceive why so ma.
ny farmers would persist in feeding one
of those long cared, fat-sided animals
unless it was for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how much corn it was possible
for an animal of it's size and weight to
destroy. The attempt to fatten them
for market with profit is insane-we
know nothing that will SO quickly con.
sumo a mans patrimony except it be
bank and railroad stocks. Secure good
stock for the farm, whether it be cattle,
sheep or swine,-these are the right
kind of "fancies'-they always declare
honest dividends, never suffer from street
panies, nor, when they are wanted, do
they collapse.
Rapidity and economy are the objects
which should be kept in view by those
fattening swine, and every means ealcu-
lated to promote these ends should be
rapidly adopted. Experiments have
frequently been made in which the com
parative effects of raw and boiled food
have tcen tested, and the great benefits
arising from the consumption of the lat
ter sufficiently demonstrated to warrant
the expenditure and trouble necessary
to thus prepare it. Regularity in feed
ing is of paramount importance-delay
will soon cause a loss equal to that result
ing from the previous meal. The guam.
tity should be SO guaged that while none
be put upon "short allowance" there
will be, at the same time, nothing vast
ed.
The kind of food best adapted for fat
tening swine, is we'll known to our rea-
ders, still, as the pig is almost an omI
niverous eater-auy thing and every
thing seeming to " tickle his palate"-
variety is an essential. The Smithield
(EDg) Club directs all exhibitors to
state how their animals are fed, and
from these statements it appears that
barley, beans, pea meal, peas, corn meal,
potatoes, miadlings, skim milk, whey,
&C., are used, the barley and pea meal
taking the palm, as the choicest food
The following mixture is highly recon-
mended by English feeders: "a few
roots of mangold, or Swedish turnips
well steamed, a little bran or meal ad-
ded or instead of these, brewers grains
or half matted barley we'll boiled, and
given moderately cold and in a moist
Potatoes, with a little meal,
are much used in the earlier stages of
fattening, the quantity ofmeal being in
creased as the times of slaughtering ap-
proaches.-RuraL Nel0 Yorker.

THE HOPE OF THE AGED.-No man,
however weakened by long life, is SO
conscious of his own decrepitude, as not
to imagine that he may hold his station
in the world for another year. OF the
truth of this remark every day furnishes
new confirmation. There is no time of
life in which men, for the most part
seem less L expect the stroke of death,
than when every other eye sees it i'm
pending; or more busy in providing for
another year, than when it is plain to all
but themselves-that at another year
they eannot arrive. Though every fu-
neral that passes before their eyes evin-
ces the de~ceitfuiness of such expecta-
tions, since every man that is borne to
the grave thought himself equally GER
tain of living-at least to the next year;
the survivor still continues to fatter
himself, and is never at a loss for some
reason why his life should be protract-
ed. and the voracity of death continue
to be pacifed with some other prey.

each of lime, and clean, dry ashes, and
two quarts new milk. Pour these into
a hogshead of cider just from the press
In ten hours it is fit to rack.
Cider Wine and Chompaigne-Ar
excellent article may be made made by
adding three pounds of sugar to every
gallon of clarified cider, letting it stand
three months to ferment. By bottline
the above, and adding to each a small
lump of sugar, a new fermentation will
be excited. Wire down the oorks, and
you will soon have fit for use, proper
sparkling cider champagne. H.-Couu.

L TING SEED CORN.

Farmers will remember that for two
or three years past a great deal of corn
came up badly. Last spring, especially,
much of it s'rotted" in the ground
The loss from this cause is hundreds of
thousands the present season. On our
W grouud with some fourteen acres
in corn) the loss was next to nothing
| The same is true of some others we
could name. What is the reason of the
difference? Why does the seed in one
field grow, and in another rot ? That
is just what we wish to come at.
One great cause Of the rotting of seed
is hat it was never we'll ripened. An
other reason is that it is badly dried
Poorly ripened and badly dried seed is
very easily injured by fermentation, and
a very little fermentation and moulding
will destroy vitality. Last autumn we
had the best, largest and ripest ears
carefully selected, and braided together
by the husks in t%resses, and hung in a
dry place. This was planted. notwith-
standing the drencbing rains and mud,
all came up-not a missing ball or stalk
and the field is noted as oEe of the best
in the country. The same has been
the experience Of some others. Those
who made no selection and took no care
of their seed, have had 'very bad luck"
Another field was planted with King
Philip corn, not trussed : but as this
sort ripeus SO early and perfectly, this
operation appears not Necessary. 1t
came up as evenly as the other.
Let farmers select their best and ri
pest ears, and either truss and hang
them up, or place them, in the ear,
where they will dry thoroughly, (unless
it be some very early quickly ripening
sort,) and there VIII be better success

HUMANIsING EFFECT OF CLEANLINESS.
"A neat, clean, fresh-aired, sweet,
cheerful, well arranged and well situated
house, exercises a moral as well as a
physical influence over its inmates. and
make the members peaceable and con-
siderate OF tho feelings and happiness
of each other the connection is obvious
between the state of mind thus produced
and habits of respect for others aud for
those higher duties and obligation which
no law can enforce. On the contrary,
a filthy, squalid n%oxious dwelling, rem
dered still more wretched by its moi
some site, and in which none of the de-
cencies of life can be observed contributes
to make its unfortunate inhabitants
selfish, sensual aud regardless of the
feelings of each other the constant in
dulgences of such passions render them
reckless and brutal, and the transition
is natural to propensities and habits in
compatible with respect for the proper
ty of others, or for the laws.
