THE
Prints on AnnIes and Pears.

A friend who has lately been on a
visit to the Hub of the Universe"
writes to the Charleston Courier as
follows:
/ have just seen a very pretty and
fanciful idea developed on pear and
apple, in the orchard of q friend at
West ROxbury, Mass. As you ramble
among the trees, you are ever and
anon saluted by an Inscription upon
the fruit, done as it were by the hands
of Nature herself. Here you meet
with the familiar name of Mary or
Alice, or date (lS6S)-in brief, every
thing that may suggest itself to your
taste oil fancy; and all done in the
skin of the fruit, without abrasion or
any foreign impression. The diseOv-
cry was made by the Hon. Arther w.
Austin, of West Roxbury, in lS5l-2.
He observed, during the former year,
that apples did not Tedden, in that
part of the fruit, where a leaf hap
pened to lie upon it. In 1852, he cut
out letters from newspapers, and
when the apples were yet green, he
pasted them upon them with paste
such as apOthecaries use, made o.
Gum Tragacanth. The apples would
redden in all parts not covered by the
pasted letters.
When the fruit had redeemed t
| perfection the letters were removed
and they would appear permanently
outlined in green. So, again, wheT
he pasted on the apple a paper il
which the letters were cut out, the
parts covered by the paper would bt
green, and the letters would appear
distinctly turned in red, the greer
ground surrounding them. Tn,
experiment is a very pretty one, anC
produces a happy effect.

How Good Farmers Save Money

They take good papers and read
them.
They keep an account of farm OPP
eratiOns.
They do not leave their implements
scattered over the farm, exposed TO
rain, now and heat.
They repair their tools and build
ings at the proper time, and do not
suffer a SUBSEQUENT three-fold expen-
| diture of time and money.
They use their money iudiciously,
and do not attend auction sales to pur-
chase all kinds of trumpery because
it is cheap
They see that their fences are vel
repaired, and their cattle are moi
found grazing in the meadows, OF
grain fields, or orchards.
They do not refuse to make expe
riments i'll a small way, OF many new
things.
They plant fruit trees well. care 70,
them, and of course get good crops
They practice economy by giving
their stock good shelter during tn,
winter, also good food, taking out al
that isunsound. half-rOtten OrmOuldy
They do not keep tribes of cats ant
snarling dogs around their premises
who eat up more in a month thai
they are worth in a lifetime
Lastly they read the advertise
mentS, know what is going on, an,
frequetly save money by it.
Successful farming is made up b,
attention to little things. The farme
who does it best, earns his none,
with best appreciation and uses j
with best results. Such men are tn

Corn and Pork.

From carefully conducted expert
ments by different persons, it has been
ascertained that one bushel of corn
will make a little over 1OI pounds OF
pork-gross. Taking this result as a
basis, the following deductions are
made, which all farmers would do
well to lay by for a convenient refer
ence-thus:
When corn sells for l2k cents per
bushel, pork costs II cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per BUSH
el, pork costs > cents per pound.
When corr costs p cents per BUSH
ell, pork costs 8 cents per pound.
When corr costs SO cents per BUSH
el, pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs As cents per BUSH
Ell, pork costs 5 cents perpOund.
ThefollOwing statement shows what
the farmer realizes in corn, when sold
in the form of pork:
When pork sells for 3 cents per 10.
il brings p cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per 10.
ii brings 80 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for five cents per
pound it brings - cents per bushel in
corn.

enviable reputation as instructor of this
most useful Art.
Scholarships issued at this Institute are

4 Ton of Hay by Measure,

1t is a matter of considerable dis
pute how much hay in the NOV ought
to be allowed. as a ton in weight
Some assert that a cube of ten feet,
while others place it as low as six feet
square and three feet deep, or only 392
cubic feet. Now, both of these can
not be right, neither can any meas
ure be fixed upon to hold good under
all circumstances. Hay, at the bot
tom of the NOW, will be more solid
than at the surface, and the whole
will be very much affected by the
quantity of grain put on top of it III
any, and the depth of the hay. But
having occasion to sell a ton in my
barn, to be sure of the quantity for
future reference, / measured off a
space of eight feet square on the cor
ner of the mcw, and cut down seven
feet deep, and found the hay removed
weighed 2,02O pounds, thus making
AS cubic feet, a good measure for q
ton of hay; it was taken from the sur
face, upon which 200 bundles of good
cats had been stored. The hay was
twelve feet deep.
