The GIrls ave not BeautifuI d.

When the Hou J. S. Harris, United
States Senator from Louisiana, was here
the other day, seeing and being seen, he
visited Oakland. on his return to San
Francisco he saw two young ladies on
the ferry boat. The Senator is n lover
of the beautiful. These girles had hand
some faces and were neatly and richly
dressed. One of the girls carried pear
tree limb, loaded with luscious pears
The limb and ladies attracted considera-
BILE attention. They walked about the
boat, observed by the lovers of fine fruit
and fair women, What beautiful
girls!" Mr. Harris remarded, as they
passed him, " and how becomingly they
dress!
The girls seated themselves out on
deck. Not few Of the passengers then
thought the deck was the most desirable
place on the boat. Some drew near to
admire the fruit-sinply this, and ROT
the fair fruit-beaTers.
The Senator ventured within sound of
the fair ladies' voices. They were talk
ing angrily about the pears. There was
no music in their tones-no sweetness
in the words they spoke. At last one of
the girls picked up the pear limb, and
with a flourish sent it over the railing
into the bay.
Mr.. Harris, turning away, said sOr-
rowfully, ,-"These girls have lost their
charms they really are not beauti-
full. -
Others who were looking on turned
in silence from the !" fallen angels. "

MORAL COURAGE IN A HoUSEKEEPER.
The following is extracted from a very
sensible letter of lady who adopts the
signature of Prudential. u ''All food
should be of excellent quality, but not
too complicated, or too many varieties
ut 4 single meal. We should conscien-
tiously avoid habituating children to
concentrated or highly seasoned dishes,
as it creates an artificial appetite, which,
in its turn, Graves stimulating drink. |
think we should have the moral courage
10 set before our guests healthful food,
that our example and influence may be
felt in the right direction. There are so
many choice fruits, canned, and other
wise preserved, that a satisfactory and
at the same time unobiectionable meal
may be prepared at any season of the
year. There are few choice friends in
this vicinity who make it point, when
they visit each other, not to overdo culi-
nary matters, that the woman of the
house may enjoy a social time with the
rest. Most of US do our own work, and
must give our time to preparing meals"

Fundamental Clements of Agriculture.
Few will question the truth of the fol-
lowing plain rules, which we have OBJ
served quoted in one of our agricultural
exchanges. They are practical and
worthy of remembrance:
1st. All land on which clover or the
grasses are grown must either have lime
in them naturally, or it must be a, itfi-
cially supplied. 1t matters but little
whether it be supplied in the form of
stone lime, Oyster-sheil lime, or marl
2d. All permanent improvement of
lands must look to lime as its basis.
Sd. Lands which have been long in
culture vii be benefited by applications
in the form of bone-dust, guano, native
phosphate of lime, composts of fish,
ashes, or in oyster-shell lime or mari, if
the land needs lining also.
4th. No lands can he preserved in a
high state of fertility unless clover and
the grasses are cultivated in the course
of rotation.
5th. Mould is indispensable in every
soil, and healthy supply can alone be
preserved through the cultivation of
clover and the grasses, the turning in of
green crops, or by the application of
composts rich in the elements of mould
9th. All highly concentrated animal
manureS are increased in value and their
benefit prolonged by admixture with
plaster or pulverized charcoal.
7th. Deep 2oLoughing and subsoiling
greatly improve the productive powers
Of a variety of soR that is not wet.
s h. All wet land should be drained.
9Th. All grain crops should be harvest
cd several days before the grain is thor
ouahly ripe.
10th. Clover, as well as other grasses
intended for hay, should be mown when
in bloom.
Ilth. Sandy lands can be most effect
ually improved by clay. If such lands
require Inning, it is done best by COM
post of lime and clay. In Stacking lime
salt brine is better than water.
18th. The chopping or grinding of
grain to be fed to stock effects u saving
OF at least 25 per cent.
18Th. The draining of wet lands adds
to their value by making them produce
more and better crops, by producing
them earlier, and by improving the
health of the neighborhood.
18th. To manure or lime wet lands is
to throw manure, lime, and labor away.
18th. Shallow plOughing operates to
impOverish the soil, while decreasing
lIOuucIlon.
10Th. BY stabling and shedding stock
during the winter saving of one fourth
OF the food is effected. That is, one
fourth less food is required than if they
were exposed to the inclemency of the
weather.
lTth. a bushel of plaster per acre,
-hwn broadcast over clover, will add
from 30 10 100 per cent. to its produce.
18th. The periodical application of
ashes unieached tend to keep up the in
te~rity of the soils, by supplying most if
not all OF the inorganic substances.
18th. Thorough preparation of land is
absolutely necessary othesuccessful and
luXuriant growth of crops.
goth. Abundant crops cannot be grown
upon The same land in succession unless
iertiiizing matter is returned to it in
equivalent proportions to those substan-
ces taken away.

Modes of Fattening Hogs.

Not a few farmers feed corn in the
ear, and some even raw potatoes, to their
iQttening swine. One half would prob
ably be an under estimate of the loss by
this easiest but most slOvenly and costly
practice.
\ large number mix dry meal with
cold water or slops, and Immediately
feed it TO their hogs. The loss in this
ease is not as much as in feeding the
corn unground, but it can not be less
than from fifteen to twenty-five per
cent.
Still others cook their meal with their
potatoes, both thoroughly, completely
mixing the one with the olher, and then
adding to the conglomerate water suffi-
cient TO make thick mush, present it
to the eratified and hearty eaters, there
by saving nearly all the fat producing
value contained in the grain and the
potatoes.
For several years we have adopted
this plan. Everything fed to our hogs,
while fattening, is cooked, but nothing
is ground. TO one bushel and half of
potatoes {mashed) we add three pecks of
dry corn III the kernel, and then with
liberal supply of water in kettle almost
steamti2ht, We cook for at least three
hours. The kernels are then three or
four times their original size, and the
potatoes are mush, and when thoroughly
mixed the dish is as acceptable as can be
presented to a lot of fattening hogs.
And as every particle of the food is Tor
can be- reduced TO a paste by the slight
est mastication, much more by the
action of the stomach, there can be little
if any loss Hearth and Home.
