On Monday afternoon, Mr.. j.
S. Leaning, brought to town,
for the purpose OF shipment,
two hogs, the likes of which we
presume, have never before
been seen in this place-the
two aggregating 1920 pounds
gross. The largest was d
years old, weighed $50 pounds;
was Z ieet in length and Z
feet IN girth. The other was
II years o!d and weighed GAO
pounds. They were both quite
lively on foot, and Mr.. L. says
that he could have driven them
in from his place if he had
thought best so to do.
Any person having a desire
to see what hog a pig can

much pork inside of one skin.

How TO Hare Plenty OF Cucumbers.

: a CORRESPONDENT of the Rortieuturist
writes l had narrow border, rot more
than two and half feet wide, on the edge
of a high fence. / planted three cucum-
Der hills in the border, and laid some
brush (such as is used for pea yines) be-
tween them and the fence. AS soon as
they crept up to the brush / pinched of
the ends,of the vines which thickened rap
idly around the roots, and in every direc-
ton, throwing out the most vigorous foli-
age and profusion of flowers.
did not allow the oucumbers to grow,
but watched them, and such as l wished
to reserve for the table / picked as soon as
they became of proper size; and all the
rest wtre gathered every day for pickles /;
every day pinching off the bud at the end
of each shoot. In this way the hills con.
tinued fresh and productive until they
were touched by frost. Seine judgment
can be formed of the value of this prac-
tice when add that more than barrel
of pickles were made from three hills, be-
sides allowing supply for the table.
Whenever leaf began to look rusty or
yellowish it was removed, and the cucum-
bers and leaves were cat off with large
scissors, SO as not to disturb or iniure the
vine. There is an advantage in having
them run Upon brush instead of trailing
over the gToundi because they are much
injured by being trodden on, and by being
kept low on the bushes, they can be east
ly and thoroughly examined over every
day, which, is essential, because if the Gu
cumbers are overlooked and grow very
large it stops the yield on that vine. Cd

The Coming Eclipse.

The total eclipse of the sun on the 22d
of December next is to be fully and care
fully observed by American as well as
European savans. Congress placed be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 at the disposal
OF Prof. Benjamin Pierce, Professor at
Harvard and Superintendent Of the Coast
survey, to be used in deffaying the ex-
penses OF parties to be sent abroad to OBJ
serve the eclipse, and three expeditions
will probably be sent-one under the care
of Prof. Pierce himself, q second under
the command of Prof. Winlock, the Di-
rector of Harvard Observatory, third
under the direction of a competent naval
officer. The line Of totality passes through
the Southern portions of Spain, Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Russia. The stations
to be occupied by these parties will be Sc.
lected 30 as TO lie within this line. Prof
Winlock will probably occupy station in
spain, where the total eclipse occurs at
midday, and will devote himself person
ally to observations with the spectroscope,
while among his assistants will be pho.
tographer who will take solar photo
graphs with the Photographic telescope
now used In the observatory at Cambridge.
This instrument has recently been con.
structed for this special purpose. The
glass, only four inches in diameter, has a
focal length Of forty feet, and gives an
image OF the sun nearly foot in circum-
ference. The composition of the suns
corona Ia one of the questions toward the
solution of which both the American and
the English astronomers hope to obtain
light. The latter have more money than
ours, having grant of $4,000 from Par
lament, but we apprehend they will not
prove TO be any more intelligent or closer

Effect Of Occupation on Health.

1t has oftentimes been asserted that
those exposed TO severe labor in the open
atmosphere, were the least subject to sick
ness. This has been proven fallacy.
Or persons engaged in heavy labor in out
door exposure, the percentage of sickness
in the year is 2S05. OF those engaged at
heavy labor indoors, such as blacksmiths,
etc, the percentage of sickness is 26 54-
not much to be sure; but of those en-
gagged at light occupations indoors and
OUT the percentage Of sickness is only
2O.SO-2l.6S. For every three cases of
sickness in those engaged in light labor,
there are four cases among those whose
lot is heavy labor. The mortality, how
ever, is greatest among those engaged in
light toll, and indoor labor is less favorable
to longevity, than laboring in the open
atmosphere. 1t is established clearly that
the quantum of sickness annually falling
to the lot of man, is in direct proportion
to demands on his muscular power.
How true this makes the assertion,
Every inventor who abridges labor, and
relieves man from the drudgery OF severe
toll, Is q benetactor of his race" There
were many who looked upon labor,saVing
machines as great evils, because they sup
planted the hand toll Of many operatives.
We have helped to cure the laboring and
toiling classes of such absurd notions. A
more enlightened spirit Is now abroad.
for all experience proves that labor-say.
ing machines do not destroy the occupa
tions of men, but merely change them.-

Storing HAY.

HAY should be stored and managed
much as the Chinese manage their tea.
When ready for storage, Il should be kept
as closely from the air as possible II II
could be Theoretically sealed up, no fer
mentation or decay could take place. Air
Is the great destroyer of dead organic
matter, and 1t is the great agent In giving
vitality to matter which has life, It is
ever busy in decomposing that It may
have material wherewith to recompose,
and If we keep air away from grass, ii
will be preserved from decay lust es pie.
plant, peaches, etc, are preserved when
canned. The hay in the middle Of large
mow is to all intents and purposes hermet.
ically sealed-that is, no air penetrates to
it and this hay will be found with its nat
ural strength unabated. Its aroma will be
like that of green tea, and cattle feeding
upon 1t will be strengthened and exhii-
arated.
This leads us to say that there is GER
tain principle in hay analogous to, IL not
identical with, the theine of tea, which is
volatile, and therefore wastes when hay
is dried too much or is moved after it has
once been stored in the NOW. This pIin-
ciple, which we call theme for the want
OF better name, exerls the same influ-
| ence on the animal economy as tea does

and prevents the waste of animal tissue.

common observer that nowhere does

+, theme is one great secret in storing hay
1t abounds most when the grass is II

cut, and dried with as little exposure e

evaporstes 1t, the rain soaks it out. WheI
ready for storage, 1t should be put in larg,
and tight bays, and the closer it Is com
pressed the better, and when the hay il
fed out, the mows should be cut down 81
as to expose as little surface to the air al
possible. Every one knews that hay
moved from one barn to another does no
spend well. The reason is that the theint
evaporates in the transportation. TIE;
cannot be moved from one chest to an
other without losing some of its virtue
and the not uncommon practice of throw

Rapid Prosperity.

One OF our wealthy citizens bought a

1t cost him seVenty- Eve cents an acre the
tried once to sell IT for $25 aniaere, but
never sold any Of it less than $4,000 an
acre, and the whole tract is now worth
a good deal over q million dollars, and he
still owns the most of il.
Another citizen needed COW pasture
and bought four acres within easy walk
ing distance on Clark street; the property
now assists 10 make his children million
aires, and will soon contain some of the
most costly buildings In the city.
Another wanting large garden traded
of a tolerably good watch for block of
ground the garden has grown up into
houses and shops, and if they were all re.
moved, 1t would buy 5000 better watcheal
Still another citizen wanted q sunny ex-
posure to his south porch and windows,
and paid $400 to get eiPhty more feet Of
space to the street corner; the door,yard
would bring $120,00D into his treasury,
but he has not yet decided what TO do

the axe will prevent its swelling and
shrinking, and getting loose. The tools
on large farm cost 8 large sum OF money /;
they should be of the most approved
kinds. II Is poor economy at the present
extravagant prices of labor, TO set men a
work with ordinary old. fashioned imple-
ments. Laborers should be required TO
return their tools TO the convenient places
provided FOR them. Aftor usins, they
should be put away clean and bright.
The mould boards of plows are apt to
get rusty from ones season to another, even
II sheltered. They should be brushed
over with a few drops of oil when put
away, and win then remain in good or.
