Ex-Con2tabIe Qainn sired the club
20 Inform him how to make hogs rot.
Dr. Slow had heea a praci ical farmer
for the last SIX weeks, and in ali hi
varied agricultural experience Io such
article as hog's-root came under h-sI
notice. What was it? Was it odible?I
or useful in any way? or was it, as heI
suspected, another worthless humbucI
devised 10y the sharpers TO defraud Us
practical farmers? He knew n5t whether
It was propagate.l hy seeds or cuttings,
bpt lie youid advise 1Ir. Quinn to be
=hy Of hozs-root. especially if it was
new tangled or high-friced tubeF.
Mr.. Noller, the agricultural writer,
explain. the anatomy Of he hogs pro-
aoscis Il is designed for sul,errauean
luiaging, hy process vulgariy called
roofing, to vhicIi Mr.. Quiun's inquiry
probabIy referred. II would recon-,
mend that Mr.. Qniun wipe bis hogs
nose. ii lie finds it ed, he ay be s''Ie
il Is tender ana needs protection by
metallic shield. Some resort to q e
strategic device Of Inserting wiIe ing
l. 'ne oe : nose, in ais efforts 70 remog e.
wuich lie would naturally thrust his.
srou, into the soil, and thus root nnwil-
iiagly. Tia. was playing it rather !, W
on tne hog, and the metallic shield was
preferable on the score Of fair dealing
and philanthropy.
AIr. Greeley exhibited a pumpkin of
lis IVA raising. AS IL embodied his
solitary and crowniDg success, after sew
eral years Of discouraging failure in
pumpkin culture, the club surrounded
it with uncovered heads and mingled
emotions OF surprise, admiration and
envy. II was superb iTuit, aut when
Mr.. G's hat was placed OF it, 70 illus
.tiaie its size ana symetgy, the hat and
pumrkin seemed SO perfectly adapted
10 each other, and together produced an
eiitc5 so startling, that several enthusi-
astic members swore they would have
kHown who raised that pumpkin if they
had seen il anywhere. II Is to he photo
graphed ty GurDey, a. Il next years
Tribune subscrl bers will receive COPIES.
The pumpkin was The fiattering pro-
duct of one bushel Of seed planted Oh
the farm in ChataGua. Soon after bios
soming, the vine manifested an incliUa-
ton 10 wither. II WAS thereupon trans
planted to a large flower pot and Temoy-
ed to the town residence Of its founder.
For some time 1t pinned and dyoopcd.and
they sat up nights with it, expecting
that every moment would be its last;
bui every moment tanned out not n be
its last, aud with careful nursing it Il
nally rallied and came up to maturity,
as cheEi-hed as tough a pumpkin as
ever grew.
Or. Sixhammers suggested that the
result of Nj. G'8. indomitable struggle
with this pumpkin showed now every
city family couId provide itself with
pumpkin pie. II hoped to see the day
when every window sill ia every city
would sc adorned with lIuctifying
pumpkin pots, and every workmau's
cottage embowered in pumpkin vines.
Thos. Dodd, OF New Hampshire,
writes to The ciu@ that he is fifty wears

large family, ten dollars i'll money, and
wants TO know what TO do.
Mr.. Moker-Go out to Greeley Colony
and invest in our irr.gaiing ditch
Mr.. Layman-Buy Texas rancho or
a Florida orange grove.
DR.. Siimber-Iiis health requires Jlrhi
ft' ming IN a bracing climate. Let him
start an indigo plantation in Alaska.
Mr.. Greeley-He mustn't come TO New
York. His $40 wouldn't last yenr.
but out West he can invest it and crow
up with the country. If | had gone
West with so nj his age, I-should be .
