10 Fatten Hogs Probably.

As soon as the grass starts in the spring,
the hogs should be turned in, as they like il
best when short and tender. They will sub
sist and grow well on grass alone with little
salt occasionally. Some prefer to feed lit
tie corn daily it may not be good policy
they will be farther advanced for iattening,
but will not iatten as well as if none is fed
ia summer, and with good pasture water and
shade, they will give satisfactory results.
They will not iatten on grass but it prepares
them for fattening. Their systems are in q
healthy state. They have no liberated liyers
and stomaehs, as they will have if fed on
corn through the hot weather Thus kept.
they are prepared by the first Of September
TO commence the fattening process, with sound
teeth and good digestion. They will after
that time promptly pay for all the feed Judi.
ciously given. 1t may be, and doubtless is
true that light feed of bran or provender
might be fed with profit during the summer;
but il is doubtful if corn in any quantity is
beneficial. Feeding on corn alone, during
the summer, except il be TO send them to
summer market, is bad policy they become
unhealthy, teeth sore, appetites cloyed, and
they will not feed satisfactorily in the fall
and the comparative expense of the grass
and corn feeding must be drawn MS to which
is the best policy. The cost Of grass feeding
even with other light feed, is merely nominal
whlea hog fed on corn from the time il is
weaned from the sow till butchered at eigh-
teen months old can seldom pay expenses
The chief end Of hog is the weight and
quality Of his carcass. His value depends

Trees in the Vegetable Garden.

No farm is managed properly that has not
a well stocked vegetable garden near the farm
house the time required in planting and
caring for it is more amply compensated for
by its product, than that of any other equal
area on the farm. An abundance and variety
Of vegetables in their season 60 very far to-
wards furnishing the table, and that too with
a diet most healthful and invigorating,
A great mistake is often made in choosing a
location for such a garden, in placing it in a
young orchard, or other tract in which fruit
trees or shade trees cover large portion OF
the soil. Now setting aside the injury which
is too often inflicted upon some Of the fruit
trees by such management, the returns from
the growing vegetables are much less salts
factory than they would be from ground not
shaded. Almost every plant which we cult
waite needs an abundance of sunlight, it is es-
sential to their existence; and what can be
expected if they are grown in the shade Of
trees, perhaps u half Of the time from sunrise
to sunset p? We have in mind tract Of per-
haps an acre planted with almost every va
riety Of garden vegetables, and of which the
very best care is taken. Yet year after year
the returns from the patch can hardly pay foi
the labor Of cultivation. The reason for this
is not because of the poorness OF the soil, foi
lots not ten rods from it yield most satisiac.
toriy, but simply because the shade cast by
a thick, high growth of apple trees on the
east and south sides, and OF others scattered
through the field, hardly permits the suns
rays to shine on the soil two hours through
the day. This instance is one of many, and
it indicates a want of thought hardly excusa-
bic.
As shade trees are injurious in fields o.
growing crops, SO are they to be condemned
when set too near the dwelling house. Ever.
greens are almost always set too near to the
house, causing dampDess in the rooms and
rendering them unhealthy, Sunlight is as
essential TO the jewellers in houses as it is K
the plants in the field and care should BE-
taken that neither are deprived of their full
share, -MassaelaSetts PiOughman.

A CoUNrER IRRIrANr.-The White
Pine News tells the following good joke
on 8. Lo":
An Indian of the Shoshone tribe met
with a trifling incident yesterday close
to the office of the News. Pat Holland
uses camphene on wooden cloths to keep
bis machiOery bright. He tossed some
OF these campbened cloths out yester-
day and they laid in the sun-just tri-
he too much camphens to allow the
donkeys TO eat them. A son of bit
luminous Shoshone sat down on these
cloths to mend bis pantsloons, which
he took off for the purpose. He sat
there for half an hour. The sun looked
on the Shoshone as Marathon looks on
the sea. And that Indian got up
quick, and attempted to flee the wrath
to come. Tie progressed. He advanced.
He pitched his tent day march nearer
home in half a minu,e-0:4. You have

pentine bottle backward we'll, Mara

cry better if he had been an actor and

HAVE We BoNAPARrE AMONG U.s.
This is the all-absorbing question now
agitating the mind of San Francisco.
Here is what the telegraph says:
1t is now asserted that the person taken
for Prince Pierre Bonaparte is a wealthy
Italian nobleman, who is travelling incog. as
Stevens, going around the world via China
and Japan. His resemblance to Bonaparte,
and the fact of his having a letter of credit
for $500, 900, is said to have led to the mis-
take. On the other hand, parties who pro-
fess to know offer to bet money that it is the
veritable Prince, without mistake.

Tns SILvBs SfARs W. OcclDsRrALs.-
On Wednesday the Silver Stars played
. match game Of base ball with the DC.

was played at the San Francisco Recre-

following from the Chronicles report I:
A game Of base ball vas played at the Re-
creation Grounds yesterday between the Sill
yer Stars of Nevada and the Occidentals of
Oakland, which resulted in the defeat OF the
latter BY twenty-five runs. The latter club
played very poorly, and had five innings in
which they were completely "whitewashed''-
as base ball players say. The batting and
fielding of the Silver Stars was excellent and
far superior to their playing on any other
day.
At the close of the game was as follows:

DESNIsoN vs.. The SACRAMENTO UNION.
Here is what the Marysville Appeal has
to say about it:
Eli S. Dennison, who has a contract
with the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, granting him the exclusive priv.
ilege of selling papers on their cars,
publishes q card in which be asserts
that the Union is excluded from the
cars by himself for purely business rea-
sons, and gives q detailed account of
bis business with the Union Office which,
if true, and We have no reason to doubt
it, fully justifes him in his course. He
asserts that the officers of the road have
GLIDING the Union from the cars. We
can admire paper that, acting under
onscientious regard for the truth, at
tacks what it conceives to be public
wrong, but when it assumes TO indulge
in Misrepresentation and abuse, and al
tempts to martyrize itself upon false
pretenses, the public will give it little
sympathy or respect. Had the paper
been excluded from the cars simply be-
cause of its unfriendly course toward |
The railroad company, it would have
been wrong, and we believe the COM
oany would only have injured itself by
'ucn a course. But the plain facts of
he case are, that the Union demanded |
'uch terms of the man who paid for his
franchise and for the papers which be
ellis that be must not only loose largely
IN the Unions that he purchased, blu,
he sale of the other papers is materially
fected. The misrepresentation of the
Union on this score are about on a par
With its usual course.
