The Profit of Pork Making.


There is, perhaps no part Of the farm
ing economy in which farmers so much
vary, as in the manner aud expense Of
making pork. I saw, last winter, at one
pork-buying depot, farmer, whose hogs,
although well-fattened, fell short of two
hundred and fifty pounds per head, at
two years old while the spring pigs OF
another farmer. only nine months old,
averaged over two hundred and fifty
pounds each and the two-years-old had
been fed in the two years with as much
raw corn in the ear as the spring pigs had
ever eaten in old corn meal, which was
always boiled with potatoes, pumpkins, &c.
But the two year-olds we're Of poor,
dwarfsh breed. born from an ill kept,lank
SOW; while the pigs we're Chester Whites
crossed with Berkshire. They we're
born large. from well-fed SOW; had
large rations of buttermilk and good
pasture through the summer, and plenty
of boiled old corn meal, and pumpkins
from early in September to Christmas
Fhe experiments of j B. Lawes, Of
Rothhamsted farm, prove that twenty per;
cent. oxen gainedaonly eight per cent.
Of this cooked food fed to pigs .Geducting

Advice to Lana Owners.

Some ofyou haVe very complete fruit
gardens, and a most acceptable supply of
fresh fruit nearly The whole year round.
A much larger number have very i'm
perfect circle. One reason of the imper-
feet supply is the practice of planting all
in one year. You must continue to plant
annually for the best success Your first
general selection had some omission; some
of the trees have since failed, and few
valuable sorts, at first unknown to you,
have been introduced into more general
cultivation One planter has fine ap-
pie and pear orchard, and an abundance
Of autumn and winter apples. But he is
deficient in strawberries and currants
Another has poor plantation of black
berries; he set out only the Rochelle.
and it was half winter killed He will
plant no more, although the Kittatinny,
equally good or better, has proved per-
fec:ly hardy. Another has cleaned ous
his currant bushes because the worms
eat the leaves and nearly killed the
stems. He could not spare the time to
apply hellsboro, and save both bushes

self of apricots, plums and nectarines, be-
cause he will trouble himself to kill the
curcuoise. And in addition to all these,
there are large number who neglect
their trees of all kind, because they have
ad pied the nnaccountable notion that
trees must take care of themselves. al
though one-half the labor they bestow
on small field Of potatoes, would give
them vigorous trees and bountlful crops,
worth more than three times the potatoes.
Trees may be procured now in autumn

A Vast Grogshop.

Bear me witness if exaggerate when
| say, that the country is rapidly becom-
ing one vast grogshop, to which half .
million of its youth are yearly introd uced,
and over whose threshold sixty thousand
are annually carried to drunkards
grave. The streets OF our cities echo to
the shouts and oaths of drunken jewellers
from whom society seeks protection
through police regulation; and within
howell aud mansion, alike, not entirely
smothered either by physical fear or social
pride, is beard the shouting Of insane
violence and wailing. What river is
there along our coasts, what harbor up
GA whose shores a city stands, whose
waters have not closed over the bodies of
those who, victims to this traffic, were
flung by violent hands from pier or bridge,
or madly sought beneath their silent sur
face forgetfulness Of woes or wrotched-
ness too pregnant to be born Within
the darkness of the dungeons and along
our highways, may be seen wrecks of
former beauty AMI manhood wrought
by this trafc, and now and then one. as
by miracle, after long years of misery
aud abasement, rescued there from, lifts
up his voice in public and makes men
aghast with the recital of his woes and
degradations.

GEN. LhE IN HIS CoFFIN.-The appear

been made ready for intcrment, is thus
described by the editor Of the Stanton

'.The body was shrouded in white
pants and vest, black coat and neck tie.
Shortly after being shrouded, the features
presented a calm. placid expression, as
one enjoying quiet, refreshing sleep.
When all the spectators had passed by
