Fattening Hogs.

A HOG will thrive according to the food
you give it, 1t will make pork according
to the quality Of food. Thus corn is bet
ter than other grain; old corn better than
new corn Beechnuts will make a soft,
oily pork; the acorn 3 bitter, it is said
and we know that it is :. matter of world
wide notoriety that offal spoils pork.
How is it then with the pen, reeking
constantly with odors-the hog wallowing
in it's own filth?
Here is an aspect that we overlook
There is always more or less of the excretia
of the animal taken with its food Some
times-and this we have often seen-the
trough is watered and lined with it, the
animal urinating in the trough.
Now all this has a decided effect upon
the pork, which is, from necessity, 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

4 Boys Device.

A London paper says: We once saw
the strand thrown into terror, confusion
and distress by the unaidc6 wit of two
boys. 1t was one of those foggy, damp
December evenings, when the lamps
looked like blurred moons, and objects
twenty yards off are all but undistinguish-
able, and tie pavement is as slippery as il
all the clowns of all the theatres had been
practising the making of butter-slides for
the coming pantomimes These playful
youths had gotta suit of old clothes and some
straw, out of which they had made up an
image sufficiently like Il man to pass muster
in that uncertain light. With this, counter
feiting the action of affcctionatc sons tax
ing home a beloved but intoxicated father,
they would suddenly appear in front of
some passing omnibus, and then, affecting
to lose all presence of mind, allow their
helpless parent to fall almost under the
feet of the horses The scene may be
imagined. Terror of the passengers, hor-
ror of the driver, horses down through
having been sharply turned aside or pulled
up on the greasy pavement, general agita-
ton; which eliminated when an omnibus
with more way than usual actually passed
over the body, the wretched driver Of
course suffering the mental agonies Of a
homicide until relieved by seeing the
straw intestines of his victim.

favored every honorable compromise; but
the day for compromise is passed. Only
one course is left us. We will stand by
the flag of our country, and appeal to the
god of battles"
Two evenings later Rawlins and Grant,
who had a slight acquaintance, met at
another meeting, and Rawlins half jest
ingly proposed to Grant that they should
raise company of volunteers for the war
"As you have seen service YOU shall be
captain," he said; "and Rowley and /
will toss up to see which shall be first
lieutenant" The Galena company was
raised, but Grant was not elected captain
| nor Rawlins lieutenant. When, however
| some months later, Grant was made4colo
| mel and subsequently brigadier-general
one Of his first acts was to procure a COM
| mission as captain and assistant adjutant
| general for RawliDs, and on Sept ID, 1861
the latter reported for duty on Grants
| staff Nor did he ever leave it until he
was confirmed as Secretary of War.

False Statements.

GEORGE II. PENDLEToN, in his recent
speech, among other things, said
with gree, parade the Secretary of the Treasury
sells six or lime millions of gold, and with the pro-
ceeds he buys bonds, giving In market for them %
per cent. above par. They now redeemable on
their face by law and PAYABLE In legsltender notes
Holders gave legaltender for them when legal-ten-
der notes We're worth not more than half what they
now are
The falsehoods in this brief extract are
as follows:
1. The Secretary of the Treasury makes
no "great parade" in buying bonds He
simply advertises in a New York and a
Washington paper that he desires to pur-
chase certain quantity. 2. He has not
paid 20 per cent. above currency par in a
single instance. He has never givenabove
20, and most of his purchases have been
below Is per cent. g.. The bonds are not
redeemable, by any construction of the
law, in legal-tenders that have been de-
prived of convertibility If the advocates
of legal-tender redemption are right in
their construction of the the law, it is only
of such legal-tenders asare convertible into
bonds. See act of February %, 1852. |
f. BY no construction of the law or con-
tract can it be claimed or presumed that
the subscribers for the bonds ever
agreed to let the Government have
the right to depreciate its notes by
resembling their convertibility, and
afterwards rendering such deprecated
notes at par in redemption of the
bonds. Before Pendleton can advocate
greenback redemption he must first insist
on restoring to the Treasury notes their
original convertibility property. The
government has 10 lawful authority to
make stumptail" of its notes, and then
foist them at par on the public creditors.
1t would be more honorable to repudiate
its obligations at once, on the score of in
solvencY, than attempt to perpetrate the
scurvy fraud proposed by Pendleton. 5.
1t is not true that "holders gave legal ten
der notes for the bonds when legal-tenders
were worth not more than half what they
now are" Legal-tenders are worth now
10 cents, half of which is 361s cents, and
at that price no $50 bonds were ever sold
by the government. Comparatively few
were sold as low as 80 cents. More were
sold above s. than below GO. The great
bulk of the 5-20s realized to the govern
ment between 10 and 80 per cent in gold,
as the books of the Treasury show. This
is more than the British Government real
lied for "consols" sold during It's wars
with Napoleon; and it is more than the
French Government realized for ''rentes'
sold during its Nepoleonic wars. The
first thing for Gentleman George to learn
before he makes any more speeches. is tc
tell the truth, which he never does e1

How to Save Corn Fodder.

Much of the value of corn slower is
destroyed by careless handling, even in
the districts where they store it for food
This is especially true of the corn that is
cut up by the gr~rnd, and put in shocks
to cure The curing process goes on safe
~ while it remains in the shock, but the
husking begins while the stalks are vet
green at the bottom, and the fodder is i'm
mediately stacked or carried to the barn
and stored in bulk. It soon heats and
moulds. If, after husking, the stalks are
bound Immediately in bundles, of con
venient size for handling, and put into
large shocks of thirty or forty bundles,
set up endwise, and capped with straw,
they will cure without moulding, and make
excellent fodder. Or the bundles may be
taken directly to the barn, or to an open
shed, and stored in the same way. The
air has free circulation through the inter
stices of the bundles, and the moisture is
carried off. Well-cured corn fodder is
nearly equal in value to hay, and the
extra labor of making into bundles will
pay.-American Agriculturist

What Age to Plant Fruit Trees.

L AM fast coming over to the opinion
aud practice of such men as Phoenix,
Quinn, and other practical horticulturists,
that 1.-The younger our trees are at the
time Of transplanting, the better their
health and growth, and the sooner will
they bear fruit"
A great many think that a three or four
year old tree will bear sooner than one
two years younger, and the nurserymen
can testify well to the demand for trees for
" tnanaeclsdte truita7g;:" but consider it a
COSTLY. unsatisfactory practice. Nearly
every tree of that age loses by necessity a
large portion of its roots by transplanting
from the nursery to its future bed and in
order to maintain healthy, progressive
growth, the top must be shortened in, in
same proportion, sometimes quite severe
ly; and by the time this is completed, the
tree is really little or no better than one a
year or two younger. 1t happens, how
ever, in the majority of cases, that the
trees are neither well planted nor well
pruned, and the first years growth after
planting in its new home is weak, sickly
stunted, with the least possible prospect
of fruit.
To remedy all this, say choose young
trees, not over one or two years old. They
are in the long run the best investment,
ohN ~ ONS i1iOoO 1uGY COSG
less at the nursery; the freight is less than
one-half; the trees lose few or no roots :;
they are more easily set out, saving labor
and expensive preparation of the ground,
and then they commence continuous
growth, which experiences few or none of
the drawbacks incident to older trees, and
at last reward the owner with luXuriant
crops of really choice fruit.
1t may seem hard to any man to wait
five or six years before he can get returns
from his Investment ; but he will find at
the end OF that time that his one year old
trees are better in every respect than his
four year old fancies. This rule can be
safely applied to all standard trees-apples,
pears, plumbs, peaches, apricots, ETC. In
no case would l recommend trees OYER

How to Keep Pastures in Good COndi

IT is with pasture as with a man, the
income must be greater than the expenses,

any soil unproductive and Improbable, by
carrying off more than is put on Pas
turing with cows that are yarded at night
does this. Sheep or beeves that remain
upon the land, on the contrary, return
more than an equivalent in manure, and
keep the land improving. Where plaster
meets want of the soil it may be kept
improving by sowing broadcast bushel
and half to the acre every spring, and
feeding off the grass. Many farms in the
grazing districts in the interior are kept
up mainly by plaster and feeding. Some
OF them will carry a bullock to the acre.
Other lands need lime, and the lime brings
in clover, and this plant by the large
drafts it makes upon the subsoil and
the atmosphere always improves the
| pasture. In other districts ashes are
accessible at reasonable rates, and they
are always a reliable top dressing. The
effects are visible on some soils in increased
crops OF grass, for twenty years. Cheap
ashes will keep up any pasture, pay their
cost, and leave profit. So will home

the mother, seeing the servant coming
back alone, believed that her fears were
true, and that something fearful had hap
pened. No explanations could satisfy her,
and she went into commissions, from which
