feature OF this opening was the large display

much noted for the durability and excellenceof
the cheaper class OF goods as of those Of moro
costly fabrics, and are equally attentive to the

FArrENlsa Hoas WITHOUT. Corn The
present year Is remarkable one for fatten
ing pork in the west. That old standby
article, corn, il by no means plenty thil
season; and if 1t is fed to hogs at present
prices it should be- put in the best condi
ton for making the most pork possible. II
may not pay to grind and cook corn to be
fed to hogs when it Is only worth twenty
cents per bushel. but when it sells fol
eighty or ninety cents there Is little question
about the economy Of thus preparing IL.
But there are other things besides corn
from which pork can be made, as the New
England farmer we'll knows. The crop O
potatoes this year Is very abundant, and |
pains are taken to boil and masl
them with a little meal, or wheat bra,
or middlings,' worry good pork may b,
made from very little or no corn. Tn,
J s..me iS true of beets, carrots and other Cd
sculent roots. Hogs, too, are very fond o
boiled pumpkins and squashes and viii
leave corn to 90 to them Wind falls o
apples and other fruit can also be convert
ed into pork. The meal OF oats, buck
wheat, peas and beans arc all used by GU
Fnoighbors in the Dominion for making
, pork, and there is no reason why they ma
| not DO thus rendered available by US. Their

season, and owing to the unfav0rable wealth

that it Will net be bought by the brewer
rather than sell II at an extremely low pric
4 grind it mp and feed it to the hogs. It
color il no objection for pork making. =
