A German tavern keeper in Cincinnati,
who entertains porkmen and caters to the
taste both of his countrymen and patrons
had roast pig for dinner on Sunday.
The animal Ga small onc) was served ur
whole, and as it was placed on the table
sent forth an appctizing and savory smell
that pervaded the dining room and made
every occupant wish for a slice, but to the
astonshmcnt of every guest great,
burly, hirsuted Tcutonic pork dealer from
the country sat down opposite the dish,
and incontinently appropriated the whole
roast. The landlord happened to be alb
sent, and good breeding prevented any of
the guests from entering protest, SO
Hans made much havoc Of the dish and
wiped his lips with such evident relish,
that one of the walters, with kccner
sense of the fun approached him, and in-
quired if he would have anything else.
Hans beaming face frightened in a mo-
ment, and he asked, in reply, Got any
more ov dem leetle hogs"

THE RAIN.

THE RAIN.
Millions of tiny rain drops
Are falling all around;
They're dancing on the housetops,
They're hiding in the ground.
They are fairy-like MUSICIANS,
With anything for keys,
Beating time upon the windows
Keeping time upon the trees.
A light and airy treble
They play upon the stream,
And the melody enchants us
Like the music of dream.
A deeper base is sounding
When they're dropping into caves,
With tenor from the zephyrs,
And an alto from the waves.
Oh, is a storm of music,
And Robins don't intrude
II, when the rain is weary,
They drop an interlude.
1t seems as if the warbling
Of the birds in all the bowers,
Had been gathered into rain drops
And was coming down in showers.

EFFEoTs OF PUMPKIN SEEDS ON MtLcH
Cows--A correspondent writes to the New
England Farmer in regard to this subject
as follows:
First, l fed my COWS one week with
one large Or two small pumpkins to each
COW twice day. Their milk decreased
two or three quarts day from what they
give the week previous. then fed them
alternately three or four weeks, and they
varied in their milk very much as the
first week
The diurctic quality of pumpkin seeds
is well known, and they will always prove
injurious to animals if fed in large quan-
tity. Fowls have sometimes eaten of them
so largely as to produce death.

To GET SURPLUS HONEY IN COMMON
HIvEs.-Farmers who keep bees in the
common hives may obtain twice as much
surplus honey as they usually do if they put
on more boxes for It. The entire top of the
hive should be covered with them, and the
passage ways to them are made much larger
than they usually are two two inch auger
hole. to each box the boxes large enough
to hold ten pounds
The spare honey boxes if made of thin
boards should be covered with another box
made of inch boards, both of which should
fit to the top of the hive There should be
glass ends or sides to the small boxes BY
which their condition an be examined. and
when they or any OF them are finished filed
and the honey capped over, it should be
removed, and lis place supplied with an
empty one. As soon as the frst hard frost
IN the fall occurs, remove them all, whether
filed or not, as the bees will at once carry
all that is not capped over, down into the
body OF the hive. 1t is not wanted there,
as any swarm that has honey in the small
boxes will have enough to winter on. Swarms
will carry honey into surplus boxes for the
want of room below and not before
