A child beginning to read becomes
delighted with newspaper, because
he reads Of names and things which are
very familiar, and he will make progress
accordingly. .l ..
il A newspaperin one year, (says Mr..
Weeks, is worth n quarters schooling
to a child, and every father must con
slider that substantial Information is con-
nectcd with this advancement. The
mother of a family, being one Of its
heads, and having q more immediate
charge of childrth, should herself be
instructed. a mind occupied becomes
fortified against the Ills of life, and is
braccd for any emergency. Children
amused by reading or study are, ol
course, consitieratc and more easily
governed. How many thoughtless
young men have spent their earnings
in a tavern or grog shop, who ought tt
have been reading. How many parent:
who never spent twenty dollars fol
books for their families wouid gladly
have given thousands to reclaim Il sol

Astronomers tell us that the next
great astronomical sensation will be
.nn the 18th and llth Of November
next, and it will beat the last eclipse all
hollow! 1t Will consist Of II mctcoric
shower, and il the calculations come
out correctly, it will be n sprighly cNhi-
bition, and one to which there will be
no admission fee, Next in grandeur
and sublimity to q total solar eclipse,
or II great comet stretched across the
starry heavens, is II meteoric shower,
such rs was witnessed in this country
in November, 1888, and Of which ''oltl
folks have been talking ever since, On
that occasion, as we are informed. from
two O'Clock until broad day light, the
sky being perfectly serene and cloud
less, the whole heavens were lighted
with magnificent and imposing dis
play Of celestial fireworks. Arago
computes that not less that two hun
dred and forty thousand mcteors were
visible above the horizon Of Boston
on the morning Of the 18th of Novcm-
bcr, 1888. This display was seen all
over North America.
A similar display was seen by Hum.
boldt at Cumana, S. America, in 1892.
y comparison of the cpochs of the ap-
pcarance OF these great showers has
led to the discovery that they are pc
rlodic; their returns being separated
from each other by third part Of a
century, or some multiple of this peri
od, and are periodical appearances of
one grand mctcoric shower. Profes-
sor Newton, ofYalc College, who has
devoted much time to the investigation
of the periodic character ofthcsc show
ers, finds that Il prodigious flight of me-
tcors, the most imposing Of its kind,
will makes its appearance, probably for
the last tim in this country, on the
morning Of the 18th or l4th of Novem-
Der next. Only thirteen Of TIL ,sc great
showers are recorded between the
years 9O3 and 1888. Such rare phc-
nomcnon awaliens o deep interest O.
mong all classes Of persons. Prepara-
tons to observe this sublime spectacle,
for scientific purposes, have already
commenced in Europe. Let no one
forget Tuesday and W etlnesday nights,

Boiling Food for Hogs.

Corn Is scarce, and rs the season fol
tattening hogs approaching, we cannot
do our planters and farmers greater
service than to give them piece of Fad
vice that will save them thousands, and
by very little addition to their preseut
amount of labor. 1t is to boil all food
before giving it to their fattening hogs.
No man who has made the experiment
will ever abandon the practice. 'Ii
A friend Of ours, in Greene countp, q
few years ago, weighed out two equal
quantities of live pork, kept them in
adjoining pens and treated them in all
respects the same, except that he fed
one pen on raw food and the other on
exactly the same amount and qnality OF
food boiled At killing time, those fed
on boiled food weighed just 33 per cent
more than their rncighbors. This ought
to be conclusive but the following con
tains additional testimony.
Alta meeting Of the New York Far,
mers Club, Prof. Mares, made the fol
owing -cmarks in regard to boiling
food for hogs;
The proof Of the saving of food by
boiling has been given here; we may
as well have it, Mr.. Mason was a
matchmaker in Camden, n. j., and
among other fancies he liked to kcey
hogs He had his hog pen built just
back of his shop, 50 that he could sit at
his window and watch his hogs. Every
spring he bought some pigs and fed
them through the season. Just oppo
site Mr.. Mason WAS the store Of Mr..
Van Arsda!r, and every pound of food
that Mr., Mason gave his pigs he bought
at this store. At the end fisk months
he got his bill from Mr.. Van Arsda!c,
and he always slaughtered his hogs at
the same time, SO that he knew exactly
how much his pork cost For several
years it figured up at 10 cents per
pound. At length some one advised
him to boil his corn. He accordingly
got II large kettle and cooked all the
food which he fed to his pigs. Then
his pork cost him four and half cents
pcrpound, We also had the expert
cnce Of Mr.. EambelI which was about
tlie same rs .,!r. Alason's Henry ELS
worth made some extensive expert
ments in the same thing, and his state
mcnt is that thirty pounds of raw corn
makes as rnch PORK us thirteen pounds
Of boiled corn.
