Summer Care of Hogs.

The hog crop, as compared with
'he other products OF the farm, seems
to increase in importance every year.
While the price of every thing else
Acknowledgement going so low
as to rake their productions n loss to
the grower-pork is constantly
quoted at STEADY" or firm and the
demand active" A few men have
made small fortunes in hops, but
many more have lost money. he
like may be said of those who have
turned their attention to the raising
OF sheep, or the production of fruit.
There il little danger of Cutting the
market with pork. at least for the
present: and while the expense OF
sending a thousand dollars worth of
pork to market is scarcely more than
that of sending a hundred dollars
worth of grain. there is an obvious
advantage i'm favor Of producing the
former article.
We believe one of the reasons why
many fail in realizing what they
might from their swine herds, is that
they devote too much attention to
the corn field and too little to the
hog pasture. In their eagerness to
produce an abundance of feed for
their hogs i'm autumn and winter,
they are negligent in providing them
with sufficient food during the earlier
portions Of the year. Hogs that are
stinted during the summer will not
take on fat readily on the approach
OF cold weather. A good healthy
growth should be kept up allthe sea-
son. Too many farmers initiate to |
some extent, at least, the practice OF
tue honest Hibernian, who having |
learned that ten bushels of corn |
would be sufficient to fatten his |
eboat, bought it, fed it all at once
and sent for the butcher to come next !
day. They work early and late in
their corn fields, the product of
which is mainly designed for their !
hogs i'm the fall while their hungry |
pigs run squealing about in scanty |
pasture with hardly d weed to salts |
fy their hunger, or drop of water to
slake their thirst.
Now the TRUTH is, an acre of clover
to he fed off i'm June is worth more i'm |
making pork than an acre of corn
that is to be devoured in November |
The first can be produced by little
labor, while the latter is only raised |
ut the expense of patient and con-
tinued toil.-Prdirie Farmer.

FOOLISH PRACTICEs.-It is foolish
to have a large orchard with every
other tree dead from borers and your
own shiftless cultivation of it; to set
out an orchard, and turn cattle in to
prune it; to buy poor trees, because
they are cheap; to be so eminently
selfish that you will not set out trees,

Old LaWrence's Will 4:
WAS IT
Lost or Stolen l.?

YNHE WILL lay upon the counter before
n me, and my eyes were riveted upon the
large cover which contained it, and which
bore the inscription, " r. Grey, Esq, Mitre
Buildings, the Temple, London" Within
it lay Kate's DESTINY and mine. Whether
we were to be married or not before our
hair was gray was the secret wrapped up in
it's folds.
To go back to the beginning. My father
had been the junior partner in the old bank
of Fletcher and Slaney, of Thombury,
which had come to grief, after an honora-
BILE old-fashioned manner, paying off all its
debts, according to the custom of forty
years ago, at the expense of the firm, who
thereupon became poor men. My father
had many friends, and in those times, when
political influence had it's finger in the be-
stowal of all public offices worth having,
the members for our Tory borough had lit
tie difficulty in procuring for the ex-bank-
er the Office of postmaster, then vacant

floor of our residence, were altered some

er's private apartment the stamping and
sorting place for the letters. The upper
portion of the partition wall was thrown
down, but left at sufficient height to
screen the inner room from the observation
of any person in the outer one yet it was
open enough to make every word audible
in either part, unless Intentionally spoken
in whisper. In the course of. few years
my father appointed me his head clerk, up
on the promotion of the previous clerk to
an Office of his own; and our united salaries
amounted to e400 year. besides the nu-
merous perquisities which at that time of
day fell to the share of the postmaster, such
as private letter-bags, and the postage up
on local letters. We had two under-clerks,
and the duties were light; very different
from what they have since become, as am
told. The penny postage had only just
come in postage stamps were still an insti-
tuition of the future, and money-orders had
been recognized branch of the establish

years before, the stamp duty on newspapers
