opinion it is as perfect a hedge as can
reasonably be desired. 1t has gener-
ally been cut twice a year, either il
the fall or spring, or about the middle
of July.
Mr. Clark had also two verv fine
Usage Orange hedges, / suppose about
the same age. Last winter they were
both ruined, since which, one has been
dug up and Honey Locust planted in
its stead. These hedges were not ex.
posed to the west winds, the most in
furious here. They both run east and
west. Honey Locust is not likely to
be winter killed, judging from last
winter, which / think was a pretty
severe test.
They, the nursery firm, have about
a hundred rods of hedge now three
years old; it is doing remarkably
well, and is the foundation of a good,
permanent, ''live fence"
Mr. clark has a piece OF hedge,
planted this spring in the place of the
dead Usage. It looks fine. The
nursery firm, Smith & Hanchett, have
planted a large amount of hedge for
the we'll known agriculturist. George
Geddes, of Geddes, near Syracuse
1t is also doing finely.
l understand they have one con
tract to put out next spring, one hun
dred rods of the Honey Locust for one
man near Syracuse. These facts
prove they have confidence in the
plant.
The plants are not expensive, cost
ing from FIVE to ten dollars per thou

Braiding Straw.

A writer in the Rural Ne,0 Yorker
gives the following method Of curing
and preparing straw for braiding:
The straw of winter rye is the best
Cut it when the berry is in the milk, JUST
before it hardens. Scald il by dipping
into a kettle Of boiling soap suds after
cutting of the heads; then spread in The
sun, placing the head end on the ground,
the other resting on poles three or four
inches from the ground. Turn il once OF
twice day, and in three or four DAYS,
with a good sun, il will be quite white.
Then cut of each straw at the Joint; sin
of the sheath, and scald once more with
soap sudS. Tie IN small bunches. hang
around a box or barrel. and apply the
birthstone bleach, by putting a few coais
in dish, in the barrel, and throwing
couple Of teaspoOnfuls Of birthstone on
them, and covering the barrel TO pre-
vent the escape of the smoke. Continue
these smokes till the straw IS as white as
you wish-four days viii DO. The straw
is now ready to scrape and guage for
braiding, a process you understand, no
doubt, so l VIII not describe it."

How to Keep Pic.

As the sty is the first thing to be
provided, let this be built of any rough
materials, say six feet square, with a
raised floor, sloping in q triAing de
gree towards the corner of the next
opening. The roof must be Of tiles
or Stats; the whole-sides and front.
weather tight. The opening should
be about two feet wide, but no door
Outside this, rail a space off as large
as you can afford (the more room a
pig has the better he thrives J to this
outer place there must be door to
enter for the purpose of cleaning, as
well as to accomodate the tenents.-
Let the outer space be paved or con
creted in a solid, substantial manner.
If twenty styes were required, this
should be something like the plan Of
all the only Improvement that could
be made would 0e in size, whic might
be increased. However, we are pro
viding for only one SOW, or a couple of
store pigs. The outer place should
slope little towards the door, for the
facility of cleaning. A substantial
vessel to hold wash, and occasionally
water, should be one piece Of furni-
ture, and the trough for the food an
other; and, with a good litter of straw
inside, the pig house may be said to
be finished.
Of the various breeds and cross
breeds of pigs, it would be useless to
say much they have been crossed in
every direction, till every feeder calls
his pigs breed of his own: and We
are as wise after looking at fifty al
ledEed sorts, as if we had seen only
the last half dozen.
In one little treatise on the pig, there
are nearly thirty breeds and crosses
mentioned; and if every cross were
recognized, there would be as many to
record as there are feeders. In selec-
ting a pig look for good square bo-
dy and short legs and head, and there
will not be much amiss; for unless the
pedigrees are regularly handed down
like those of horses, and grunters are
named like racers, none will know Tom
NOke's improved Essex from Jem
Styles improved Sussex, and so of the
rest. A well formed pig cannot be a
bad sort judge for yourself therefor,
and select one that can be recommen-
ded by vender whom you know. If
you are going to keep them for xii
ling, buy two-the sty is large enough
to accommodate them unless they fight
Once place them in possession of their
mansion, and a few good feeds will
soon reconcile them to their situation
As pigs are not over dainty in their
food, all that you have to care for is,
that however coarse, it is wholesome.
Save for them the water that anything
nutricious is boiled in, but the food
should not be sloppy, whether it be
meal of any kind or midlings, bran,
or otherwise. Let what moisture you
put to it be scalding hot, and do not
make it thin let il be Of the consis-
tence of very hasty pudding, such as
