About Fattening Hogs,

Al hog will thrive according 10 the
bod YOU give il. 1t viii make pork
according to the quality Of food
Thus corn is better than other grain'
old corr better than new corn, -
Beeca nuts win make soft oily
mark: fhe acorn 9 bitter, it is said;
and We know that it is a matter OF
world wide notoriety that offal spoils
pork.
How is it, then, with the pen, reek-
ing constantly with odors-the hog
wallowing in its own filth?
Here is an aspect that We overlook.
There is always more or less of the
excretion of the animal taken with
its food. Sometimes-and this we
have often seen-the trough is wa
tered and lined with it, the, animal
urinating in the trough.
Now all this has decided effect
upon the pork, which is. from neces-
sity, more or less tainted by it. We
are not eating good pork. We are
not keeping it well, such pork will
not keep.
The difficulty is laid to the putting
down, or some other cause, when it
is, in great measure, and some
times wholly owing to the manufac-
ture, the putrescent matter is alb
sorbed in the feeding.
To prevent all this, or atleast in q
great measure, so as to get a fsir and
what we may deem q good quality Of
pork, there must be cleanliness
And the hog, though a hog. has still
some of the original politeness feft
which no doubt distinguished him
ere he had taken to theditch. He
will select clean, dry place, and it
is this trait that must be taken ad-
vantage Of He must be permitted
to haYe a clean place where he can
be clean and dry, but also cool, or he
will wallow. A separate apartment
to sleep or rest in is the best and
the surest way. He will seldom foul
his sleeping apartment, particularly
if straw is put in and changed as Of
ten as required. This he will have
as his parlor. And it is your bust
ness to see that the other compart-
ment is kept free from odors and
moisture; this by using absorbents.
Dried muck is a common resort
Dried saw dust is also good, and
even earth--anything that will take
up odors and moisture. Use ground
that is dry, or dust from the road
Have a pile ready to use, and keep
using as occasion requires. l: there
is but one compartment, treated in
this way, it can be kept odorless and
dry, and piggy will appreciate il,
and aid in the matter by keeping his
corner and himself clean.
Here you will. be making manure
worth three times the amount of its
first worth. You will have a great
nuisance abated, the hog pen, lin its
odor, and you will have e clean pig
worth looking at, and pork to match;
this without fail; only feed proper
food.
There will be little difficulty about
keeping your pork now; it will almost
keep itself, and it will be sweet and
solid and healthy.

PRESERVING BUTTER...The farmers
of Aberdeen, Scotland, are said to
practice The following method for
curing their butter, which gives it a
great superiority over that of their
neighbors: "Take two quarts of
best common salt, one ounce of
sugar, and one of saltpetre; take one
ounce of this composition, for one
pound of butter; work it we'll into
the mass, and close it up for use
The butter cured with this mixture
appears of a rich and marrowy con-
sistence and fine color, andacquires
no brittle hardness, nor tastes salty"
DR. Anderson says: 81 have eaten
butter cured with the above compo-
sition, that has been kept for three
years, and it was as sweet as at first"
1t must be noted, however, that but
terth at-has been thus cured, requires
to stand three weeks or a month be-
fore lis used. If tits sooner open
ed, the salts are not sufficiently
blended with it, and sometimes the
GOODNESS OF the nitre will be per-
ceiyed, which totally disappears af-
terwards. The above is worthy the
attention of every dairy woman.

MANURE FOR PEAR TREEs.-Leached
ashes are excellent, applied once in
two years, to the surface as far as the
roots extend. But on the whole
nothing can excel good barn manure,
one year old. Spread it over the
ground in the fall, and let it lie until
spring. Much CT the richness will
have penetrated to the roots by
spring. Early in the summer, fork
over the ground with potato hoe or
forked spade, andthe trees will make
q splendid growth.

each movement of the interesting little
creature
How the young wife and mother rushes
to meet the happy father, to inform him OF
the astonishing fact that the wonder knows
her-yes, actually knows his own mother.
Well, they say, '1t is q wise child that
knows its own father" -.s
Then the happy moment when he first
isps the name of mamma or papa; when
he first runs alone with his little hands ex-
tended towards them but, ah how use
less to speak of these moments of joy-of
happiness-of bliss-of rapture-all mo-
ments when the feelings are better imag-
ined or experienced than described Yes
language is, indeed, weak to express the
feelings of the happiest moments of life.

a DISCUSSED DARKEY.

An industrious and econominal darkey
living i'll Western Pennsylvania, after ac-
cumulating a house and lot, thought his
next purchase should be in the way of live
stock, and so bought sheep of the male
persuasion. His favorite amusement du-
ring leisure hours was to get down on the
grass and nod defiance to the animal, which
would make Savage plunges at the apparent
enemy. But as the savage creature ap-
preached, the darkey would drop his face
to the ground so that the sheep, missing
his mark, would tumble over and over
One day the darkey called n couple of
passing ncighbors to see the fun, and He
began his little farce as usual The sheep
did not see him at first, but presently raised
his head from the grass on which he was
grazing and frowned upon him.
"Oh, lis watch him now - said Sambo in
great glee.
Old Buckley made rush as was his want,
and Sambo suddenly dropped his face to
the ground But as the fiends would have

HoRBIBLE. Flora Gushing was by
all acknowledged Fashions Queen, and
many a scene of splendor grand was by her
subjects seen ; and she went, SO the nobs
all went-whate'er she did was well-she
joined the Saratoga ring, and soon became
the belle. Her form and face were fault
less-her name without stain--her dress
was locomotive-lk6, it had so long a train
but dire misfortune seized the girl, and
caused her mournful end disease it took
her off right straight-'twas called the Gre
clan Bend She grew much worse, yet she
received, not pity, but abuse and though
she never had looked fast, they said she
then looked loose. Her parents were in
deepest grief-their hearts with pain were
rent-yet still the girl with Grecian Bend
kept following her bent. At last, when
she found her friends and parents troubled,
and that her form lost half its charms, al
thought she thought it doubled, she said
henccforth she'd stand erect-which when
she tried to do, she'd grown so stiff that,

4 ToUGH SToRY.-''Ialk about bed
bugs !" said Bill Jones, who had been
across the Plains. "You should have seen
some of the critters l met in Idaho last
spring. I stopped one night with SOME
settlers who lived in log cabin, contain
ing one room and a loft When it came
time to go to bed they strung Il blanket
across the middle of the room, and the
settlers family slept on one side OF 1t anG
gave me the other. l laid down to go to
sleep, and the bedbugs began to gather
like lunch eaters around q free clay out. ."
I tried to kiver up and keep away from EN-.
but the pesky varmints would catch hold
of the bed clothes and pull them from me.
They didn't think nothin' of dragging me
around the room if / held; on.l Lift 'en
till about midnight, and then looked
around for some way of escape. There
was ladder reaehin up into the loft, and
I thought the best way 10 get away from
the blood suckers was to get TIP thar SO
did There wasn't any bugs in the loft, SO
I laid down, congrattilating myself'on my
escape. Pretty quick heard the ladder,
squeakin' as if somebody was comin' up.
Bimeby 7 saw bedbug raise himself up
through the hole madein the floor and
looked carefully around the loft. Soon's
he saw me he motioned 10 his chums be
low-the bloodthirstv zcuss-and cried cS-
ultingly, ''Come up, boys he's here -.
