hucL-e5efr.ss and Their Cultivation.

Few persons are aware Of the extent Of the
trade III the Huckleberries, carried OIL be-
tween Sou'h Jersey and tie cities of A.w
York and Philadelphia. Estimated either in
regard to quantity. or amount realized, The
huckloberry trade largely exceeds that of any
small fruit. Daily trains, devoted specially
TO the carrying of this fruit, pass over the va
rious railroads leading to the great cities, anl
thousands Of men, women. and children End
prof employment il gatlaring them from
July until September. Tie immcnce uncn!ti-
waited tracts of Southern and westera New
Jersey abound in this fruit, and as the growth
is spontaneous and the crop generally good
one, an expert picker will readily realize
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day Huckleberries,
taking the season through, command better
price than strawberries or blackberries, and
as the season is fully three times rs long as
that of either Of the fruits named se.ae idea
may be formed Of the Importance Of this crop.
And here the question naturally presents IL
self.-"Why should not the huckleberry le

should not be the case and it is not unrea.

Why should We not have Seeding huckiet~ss

any one who has given attention TO the su,i-

"Spcrts Of the Turfi-Race Between a

Some years ago race was run at the IIa.
more than ordinary interest. It was between
a fast trotting horse in harness and full
grown hog; single heat--distance, six English
miles for wager of one thousand guilders.
The circumstances which led to this unique
trial OF speed were as follows: At a sporting
club at the Hague young member Of the club
expatiated upon the beauty. symmetry and cx
traordinary speed of a trotting horse he had
that day purchased, expressing an eager de-
sire to get up a match to prove the superior
qualities of the horse. A gentleman engaged
in hand at cards, but whose attention had
been attracted by the ardent and impassioned
remarks of the speaker: quietly remarked,
"Come, sir, don't be Dragging so much about
the sviftness of your horse, for have a hog,
for trifing wager, would not hesitate to
run against him. Peals of laughter greeted

like wild FIRE, and caused the most intense ex

among the people generally-all eager to see
the fun. The day was auxiously looked for,
and the training Of Nero began.
On the first day poor Nero was started,

that no one should feed him, himself alone at
tending to the matter. On the second day

he had to trot him back to the Hague. 1t may
be proper here to remark that the hog prefers
