A Happy Rebuke,

Watty Morrison, a. Scotch Clergy man, was man of great wit and hu- nor. On one occasion he cntreated an officer at Fort George to pardon a poor fellow that was sent to the hal berts.
 The officer offered to grant his re- quest if he would, in return, grant him the first favor he would ask.
 MT. Morrison agreed to this, and the officer immediately demanded that the ceremony of baptism should be per- formed on a puppy.
 The clergyman agreed to it, and a party of many gentlemen assembled to witness the novel baptism.
 MT. Morrison desired the officer to hold up the dog as was necessary in the baptism of children, and said:
 'HAs 1 am a minister of the Church of Scotland, l must proceed according to the ceremonies of the church"
 .Certainly," said the Major, T expect all the ceremony"
 "Well, then, Major, I begin by the usual questionable syou acknowledge yourself the father of this puppy?'
 A roar of laughter burst from the crowd, and the officer threw the candi. date for baptism away.

About Hens.

Matching out and bringing up one brood of chickens, is enough for one hen to do in that line in one year. Sometimes they will bring up two broods, but often fail, and are worth little after that.
 Some hens wish to set three or four times year, and various means are re- sorted to, to prevent it-such as shut ting them up in a dark place, tying the feet within two or three inches of each other for as many days. Some prac- tices are resorted to which are cruel, such as plunging them in cold water, or withholding all food from them for a time,
 Do not allow hen to set in the same nest where brood has just been hatch ed out, without first cleaning it out in the most thorough manner, and>wash- ing it out in ashes and water, orstrong lime water.
 Eggs are much more certain to be matched if the nest is large, and com- posed at the bottom, of the earth, and then lined with little soft hay or straw.
 When hens steal their nests they gen. orally place their eggs upon the ground, and this becomes so thoroughly heated that when the hen leaves the nest, for food or water, the heat imparted from the earth to the eggs keeps them warm until the hen returns to them.-[N. r. Farmer.

PLANTING TOMATOES IN CORN Rows

NNtN4N The Louisiana Baptist says:
 We gathered a new idea from one of best planters, last week, in relation to tomatoes. He says that much better tomatoes may be made by setting the plants between the hills of corn in the field. He is of the opinion that tho corn imparts a peculiar sweetness tc the tomato. Give it trial.
