to increase in Importance every year.

as to make their productions II loss to
the erower-pork IS constantly quot.
ell At STEADY or firm and tho dc.
mand active" a few men have made
small fortunes in hops, bat many
more have lost monej. The likr
may be said OF those who have turn.
cd their attention to tho raising OF
sheep, or the production OF fruit.
There is little danger OF glutting the
market with pork, at least tor tho
present; and while tho expense OF
sending a tho usand dollars worth OF
pork to market is scarcely more than
that Of sending hundred dollars
worth OF grain, there is an obvious
advantage III favor Of producing the
former article.
We believe one uf the reasons why
many fail il realizing what they
might from their swine herds, is, that
they devote too much attention to
the corn field aud TOO little to the
hog pa turc. In their eagcrness to
produce an abundance OF feed t,r
their hogs in autumn and winter,
they arc Negligent in providing them
with sufficient TODD during tho earlier
portions OF tho year. Hogs that arc
slintcd during the summer will not
take on fat readily OH the approach OF
cold weather. A good healthy
growth should be kept up all the sea-
son. TOO many farmers initiate to
some extent, at least, the practice OF
the honest lIibernian, who, having
learned that ten bushels Of cor /
would be sufficient to fattcn his
shoat, bought il, ted 1t all at once
and sent Tor the butcher to come next
day. They work early and late III
their corn fields, the product OF
which is mainly Designed tor their
hogs in the tall; wh,l. their hungry
pigs run sqncaIing abou:;n scanty
pasture with hardly weed to salts
~ their hunger. or drop OF water to
slakc their thirst.
Now the truth is, an acre Of clover
to he ted of in June Is worth more in
making pork than An acre Of corn
that is to be dcvoured in November.
The first can be produced by little
labor, while tho latter is only raised
tat the expense OF patient and contin-
ucd toll. l.[-Prairic Farmer.

A subscriber to the Catskill IN.
\. Recorder, several years ago. neg
lected to pay for his paper until he
had read it regularly for seven years.
The editor, Nor. Joseph Joesburv,
made out the bill ut the regular rates,
$3.50 per year, and payment was re
fused, although the subscriber con-
sidered himself an honorable bust
ness man. But the fact was the bill
was SO large, and for SO seemingly
insignificant a thing as newspaper,
that he didn't want to face the mu-
sic.' Joesbury then made out bill
for $500 per year, the price Of the
paper when not paid in advance, adj
ding the interest Of each year, and
proceeded to realize" or, in other
words, commenced suit to recover
the bill footing up some $26. The
subscriber contested, bnt Jocsbury
got Judgment. An appeal was ta-
ken from one court to another until
Mr.. Subscriber was obliged to come
down with the stamps to the tune Of
about $3.50, and after feeling his at
torneys, it is to be presumed he be-
came a wiser and better subscriber.

How TO PnEsERvE IcE.-Dr. Schwartz
has communicated the following sim
pie method OF preserving small guam
titles OF ice, which he has practiced
with success. Put the ice in Il deep
dish or Jug, cover IL with plate, and
place the vessel on pillow stuffed
with feathers, aud cover the top with
another pillow carefully, by this
means excluding tho external air.
Feathers are we'll known bad con-
dnctors Of heat, aud, in consequence,
the ice is preserved from melting.
Dr. Schwartz states that he had thus
preserved ak pounds OF Ice tor eigh:

Charles Dickens.

j Charles Dickens has been SO lately
with vs. in person, has occupied SO
large place in our minds and hearts
these thirty years, through his wri-
tings, that it is something difficult
to realize that his voice is hushed
forever, and that the wand, whose
magic passed away with the unloos-
cning Of his grasp, has fallen irrecov
crably from the great magician's
hand. The enchantments he wrought
ilnperishable; but the spell is broken.
The world is poorer for lack Of those
keen, observant eyes, that miraculous
touch, that grca', kindly nature. so
wise without bitterness, so familiar
with every shape Of human frailty
and sorrow, and yet so full of gen
crous hope and sunshine that all
mankind is his debtor. It may be
said Of him as it can be said of no
ststssman, general, or savant:
There is no one to fill his place"
In the ranks Of the worlds best
workers is gap which cannot be
closed up. There are scores Of rnlcrs
equally wise, of soldiers equally skill
ful Of scholars equally learned. But
there was hut one Charles Dickens.
In this county, rs we'll as in Eng.
land, the tidings Of his death brought
sense Of personel loss. Many a
home in our land was sadder that
morning for his sake. ana many a
Thought took fight across the sea
and found its way to the darkened
chamber where the master of Gad's
Hill lay dead. A new and sacred
intascst attached itself to that row Of
familiar books on the library shelf.
They have often touched our hearts
before, with their tragedy and their
,,athos, with their wit and their wis
alom; but as we took the volumes
down, one by one, and turned over
the well.read leaves, the merricst
pages seemed the saddest. 1.-The
hand that wrote them is cold,' we
said; "Charles Dickens is dead!'
What u priceless legacy he has
LEFT us! His genius was us generous
~ it was Incompatible, as pure rs it
was-gcncrous. There is no passage
here that we could wish cancelled, no
word to be blottcd; we could not
spare his lightest essay any more
than his most elaborate creation: for
he has written nothing that has not
made the world better and happicr,-
IN some way comforted the lisheart-
ened, and appealed to the hest that is
in ms. His gifts were rare and great,
and he used them worthily. His
death has afflicted two notions as the
dcarh Of no one man has ever done
How deeply his lessons Of love and
charity impressed themselves upon
the popular heart,--what weary
lives he chcered and refreshed -
what kindly impulses he awoke in
worldly bosoms.-it was not his priv
tlege to know. Perhaps, as one Of
his rewards, he sees it now, in that
clearer atmosphere where ali earthly
mysteries arc solved for him. and
where he has heard the blessed
words: "Wcll done, thou good and
faithful servant."-[Every Satur-
