FARM AND FiRESIDE.

Corn AND PORK. -Concerning the rela-
tion of the great corn crop of this season to
the pork interest, the Missouri Democrat
says:
But what for the farmer? If hogs are to
be sold at low prices, what chances are there
for any profit to the producer?
To this we reply, the fattening of the
hog, even at the lowest prices, will result in
splendid business to the farmer. The
corn crop is every where admitted to be i'm
mcnse, and will necessarily be sold at a low
price, and the most economical way of get
ting the crop to the market, as is we'll
known, is to feed as much as possible to the
hogs, and drive it through on the hoof.
Every producer and intelligent farmer
understands perfectly, and acts continually
upon the fact, that one bushel of corn prop
erly fed, and with good care for the hogs,
will make ten psunds of gross pork. From
this admitted fact we deduct the following:
Corn fed out at 12aa cents per bushel will
fatten hogs at II cents per pound gross.
Corn fed out at 90 cents per bushel will
fatten hogs at cents per pound gross.
Corn fed out at % cents per bushel will
fatten hogs at , cents per pound gross.
Corn fed out at 80 cents per bushel will
fatten hogs at cents per pound gross.
Corn fed at 80 cents per bushel will fat
ten hogs ut cents per pound gross.
Corn at 40 cents per bus7el will fatten
hogs at cents per pound gross.
Corn fed at As cents per bushel will fatten
hogs at i cents per pound gross.
Corn fed at 50 cents per bushel will fat
ten hogs at 5 cents per pound gross
Corn fed at SIS cents per bushel will fatten
hogs at 81 cents per pound gross.
Corn fed at 60 cents per bushel will fatten
hogs at 6 cents per pound gross.
Now, compute what $50 pound hog will
cost at given rate for stock hogs: A stock
hog weighing $50 pounds, bong int at say 6
cents, will equal. .................$9,0 90.
100 pounds weight added on ten
bushels of corn, at 50 cents per
bushel ................... 5000

KISS ME-, MAMMA" kiss NC mamma,
before I sleep" How simple boon, yet
how soothing to the little snpplicant is that
soft, gentle kiss The little head sinks con-
tentedly on the pillow, for all is peace and
happiness within. The bright eyes close,
and the rosy lip is reveling in the bright
sunny dream of innocence. Yes, kiss it,
mamma, for that good night kiss will linger
in memory when the giver lies Wondering

REMEDY FOR CANoER.-Col. Ussery, of
the parish Desoto, informs the editor of the
Caddo Gazette that he fully tested remedy
for this troublesome disease recommended
to him by aSpanish woman, native of the
country The remedy is this: Take an1 egg
and break it, pour out the white, retaining
the yolk in the she'll, put in salt and mix
with the yolk as long as it will receive it
stir them toget her until the salve is formed;
put 8 portion of this on a piece ofsticking
plaster and apply it to the cancer about twice
day. He has tried the remedy twice in
his own family with entire success.
1t has also been tried on two cases in
Rhode Island with perfect success. Such Il
remedy is within the reach OF every one, and
should be known to the whole world

Sailing Mich Cows.--In Switzerland
the COWS are sailed early every morning,
and if fed in the stable the salt is given be-
fore foddering. By sailing in this way
their appetite is improved, they drink with
more regularity keep in better health, and
give more milk, than when sailed in the
usual way, as practiced by dairy men in
America. The Swiss dairy men think it
very Injurious to salt mich COWS only once
or twice week, as they will lick too much
salt at one time, and drink too much water
for the day they consider that stock in
order to do we'll must be fed with regularity
everyday alike, and never give too much Of
anything at enc time.

This would make the animal cost Just 6
cents per pound, and the farmer has sold his
corn, in this calculation, at 60 cents per

We confidently believe there will be am

low figures for hogs; and it adds another

A Man Rugged Against his will.

A most ludlcrous scene TRANSFERRED in q
place not thousand miles from the city OF
Louisville, one night last week, which
though little annoying to the persons i'm
mediately concerned, was just so innocent
aud funny that we cannot refrain from Civ
ing the general outlines, suppressing names
of course.
Two sprighHy and beautiful young fades
were visiting their cousin, another sprightly
and beautiful young lady, who like her
guests, was of that happy age which turns
everything into fun and merrirnent If the
truth were told, we fear we would have to
record that these three misses were just
little bit fast They were fond Of playing
practical jokes, and were continually play
ing all sorts of pranks with each other All
three occupied room on the ground floor,
and cuddled in one bed.
Two of the young ladies attended party
one night in question, and did not get home
until half-past - o'clock at night AS it
was late they concluded not to disturb the
household, SO they quietly stepped into the
room through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they had LEFT
for the party, young Methodist minister
called at the house where they we're staying,
and craved for nights lodging, which of
course was granted. AS ministers always
have the best of every thing, the old lady
put him to sleep in the best room, and the
young lady, Fannie) who had not gone to
the party, was intrusted with the duty of
sitting up for the absent ones and inform
ing them Of tho change of rooms. She took
up her post in the parlor, and as the night
was sultry, sleep overcame her, and she
departed on an excursion to the land of
dreams.
We will now return to the young ladies
who had gone to their room through the
window. By the dim light of the moon,
beams as they struggled through the cur
tains, the young ladies were enabled to
descry the outlines Of Fannie, Gas they sup
posed) ensconsed in the middle of the bed
They saw more, to wit, pair Of boots.
They saw it all, Fannie had set the boots in
the room to give them a good scare.
They put their heads together and deter
mined to turn the tables on her. Silently
they disl obcd, and stcalthily as cats they
took up their position on ea,h side of the
bed. At given signal they both jumped
into bed, one on each side of the unconscious
person, laughing and screaming. ooh,
what a man Oh, what man % and gave
the poor hewildered minister such a pro-
miscuous hugging and tusseling as few per-
sons get in the course of lifetime.
The noise of the proceeding awoke the
old lady who was sleeping in an adjoining
room. They comprebended the situation in
moment, and rushing to the room, she
opened the door and exclaimed Gracious!
it's man Its man sure enough p'-
There was one prolonged, consolidated
scream, a fash of muslin through the door,
and all was over.

The case Of John 0'Tole the sailor swindler,
was called mp yesterday in the Court Of General
Sessions before Judge Bedford. On the 81 OF April
o'Tole secured an introduction TO Thos W Holmes,
sailor, tton boarding at 90 Roosevelt street,
Holmes had a ship-mate named willin, who wanted
to make a complaint Of assault and battery against
person named owen Mcdonald for beating him.
oTole pretended to be a lawyer. Then O'Tole
handed him q paper and told him to sign II, and
asked wilin TO sign II also, which they did, sup
posing It TO be necessary paper In the assault and
battery proceeding. e'Tolo then made some re-
mark about their pay, and said he would SEQ they
q power or attorney.
-Four davs aftorwsrd o'Tole met the sailors and
asked them TO sirn another paper, which proved to
be release OF O'Tole nom bis obligation attor
ney under the power they had given him. Armed
With the power OF attorney, O'Tole waited on Cap
tain Hin of the shin Western Chief to which the
complanants were attached sailors and collected
their Mnges, amounting In all 10 t3i0.47 for which
CAM Hill took receipt from O'TOlo rs attorney.

knowingly to collect lelr wages that soon as ho
got the money Re intrustcd 1t TO his partner who
unexpectedly lett the city and has not been seen
since. The Assistant District Attorney offered In
evidence note from County Clerk Loew. who is
also clerk OF the Supreme Court signed and sealed,

and that no such name as John O'Tole was ro-
corded there. The Court adjourned until Monday.
