HOME READING

One Of the pleasantest and noblest
duties of the head of the family is to
furnish its members with good reading.
In times which are st, it was consid>
cred enough to cloth he and feed and
shelter family. This was the sum of
parental duty. But lately it has been
found out that wives and children have
minds, SO that it becomes a necessity TO
educate the children and furnish read
ing for the whole household. 1t has
been found out that the mind wants
food as well as the body, and that it
wants to be sheltered from the pitiless
storm of error and vice by the guarding
and friendly roof Of intelligence aud
virtue.
An ignorant family in our day is an
antiquated institution. 1t smells of
the musty past. 1t is dark spot which
the NSht ot lnc mooern sun mas not
reached.
Let good reading 60 into home, and
the very atmosphere of that home grad
ually but surely changes The boys
begin to grow ambitious, to talk about
men, places, principles, books, the past
aud the future. The girls begin to feel
new life opening before them in
knowledge, duty and love. They see
fields of new usefulness aud pleasure,
And SO the family changes, aud out
from its number 60 honorable men and
women, to fill honorable places and be
useful members Of society Let the
torch of intelligence be lit in every
household Let the old and young vic
with each other in introducing new and
useful topics of investigation, and in
cherishing love Of reading, study and
improvement.

NJ. ID. Conway says that in the suburb
Of London known as Hammersmith,
there lives jewish gentleman, of

daughter. remarkable among all who
knew the family for her beauty and
her genius The girl had passion to

invinclbIy opposed to her project, she
ran away from home, and was for some
years lost in the great ocean of London
life, so far rs her relations were con.
cerned. Nevertheless, one day she re-
turned to her parental home, hearty,
happy, and with all the early innocence
aud beauty, to be welcomed again. In
the interval, she had been traihcd by a
good teacher of stage elocution-she
had been under the supervision of a
very eminent actor, now in America
and she had made successful appear

PUBLIC LIBRARIEs.-The congres
sional library at Washington is the
largest in the country, containing
about 206, 900 volumes-N Next to this
stands the public library of Boston,
with its 179, $50 This institution is
so complete in its appointments and
admirable in its management that it
may almost be regarded as model in
stitution. This is one reason of it's
popularity and rapid growth. Every
Bostonian feels wholesome pride in
the institution, and last year over 600
individuals presented it with books.
Mr.. George Ticknor alone gave 5000
volumes to this collection. In fact, it
is now considered an exceedingly ill
hammered thing for Boston gentleman
to die without leaving either books or
money to the public library, as to leave
{ bequest to Harvard College was form
erly part of Boston merchants re-
ligion. This is the way to build up an
institution. Any town in the country
can have creditable library in twenty
years by working in this wise way. New
York has no public library, but it has a
Tammany Hall, which accounts for the
deprivation. The difference between
the two is that the former is an iustitu-
ton and the latter dcstitution.

PARENTAL INFLUENCE.

That the influence of parents endures
through life no one will deny. The
influence of the homc circle is as last
ing as life itself. If the sons turn out
badly, it is generally the fault of early
training it is rarely, if ever, the fault
of the mothers (God bless them), for
their influence is generally on the bet
ter side. With the father generally
rests the blame. The father, though
he may lay down the best Of rules, yet
by an overbearing manner, SO embittcr
the temper of the child as to render the
teaching of no avail. How guarded,
then, ought fathers to be, for, instead
of producing loving obedience, he may
engender terror, and thus ruin affection.
A tyrannical father naturally produces
a deceitful, unloving child.

improvements.

The eye of the traveller, in passing
through our State at the present time,
is greeted by evidences of improvement
on every hand. Houses and barns are
being built; fences built and remod>
elled new land broken up, aud every
proof is apparent of thrift and prosper
~. This is the legitimate result of the
extension of the means of transporta>
ton. The Oregon and California Rail
road, although only partially completed,
has given a fresh impulse to every
branch of business. As the farmer fol-
lowing his plough within sight of the
railroad sees the train laundering by,
he unconsciously quickens his steps,
while his tagging steeds feel an enliveu-
ing influence, and bend to their labors
with double energy. The merchant,
as the time nears for the departure of
the train, knowing that he must be
prompt to time, hurries his prepara>
tions, gives his directions to clerks and
employees, in tone which in itself de-
mands obedience, he rushes to the
depot just in time to get on board the
departing train, and IS off for the pur-
chase of new supplies Everyone feels
the stirring influence. Even the loafer,
summing himself beside the brick build
ing on the course, stretches himself,
gives prodigious yawn as he hears
the approaching cars, anffor once in
his life he is wide awake, and rushes
90 the depot for the purpose-perhaps
for no purpose; but it answers the
purpose of waking him up, and for
once he feels that life is real, and that
to enjoy it one must be active,
In the train of all this life and &C
tion follows, as a legitimate result, the
march of improvement, The merchant
must enlarge his stock to supply the
demands the grain dealer must make
improvements in his means of handling
grain, in order to save time in shipping;
the farmer notices the constantly in
creasing demand for his productions,
and as a means of defence, if nothing
more, he is compelled to lend his hand
to increase the supply, and make the
necessary improvements to enable him
to compete successfully with those
around HIM.
Already is Oregon beginning to feel
these effects. If anyone doubts this,
let him take hasty run through our
own valley, and however skeptical he
may be, he can but be convinced that
the assertion is true. Oregon is pro-
crossing, and the sooner the people
awake to this fact the better it will be.
To the young particularly this is an
important item. The young men of
our State must realize that the days for
cayuse horses, leggings and large spurs
have gone by; that they must substi-
tute for these, some of the implements
of usefulness, in order to be up with
those around them, and to keep pace
with the march of improvement.

Pasture for Pigs,

The Prairie Farmer, in answering the
query of correspondent, says:
IF you will turn your pigs into good
clover pasture, or, in the absence of
such one, a pasture of mixed grasses,
they will require little if any other food
than that which they can procure by
grazing from the time other stocks are
turned out till you can manure a crop
of corn. OF course they must be well
supplied with water, and they will re-
quire salt the same as other kinds of
of stock. The most economical way OF
disposing of skinned milk, ordinarily,
is to feed it to stock hogs. They also
relish and derive advantage from char
coal and the ordinary soft Western coal.
Many of our best swineraisers pref
to summer their pigs on grass alone,
with the exception of the articles we
have mentioned, believing that the ami
mails are not only more cheaply kept in
that manner, but that they are much
more healthy. Where it is not conven-
lent to fence in an inclosure for a hog
pasture, it is a comparative easy matter
to soil them during the summer. If this
is done, the green food that is fed to
them should be raised very near the
yard where the hogs are kept, to save
the expense of moving it. Glover and
blIloGHy, OF, III IaCG, any Oh Gne uIICh-
growing grasses, may be used to good
advantage for this purpose. Orchard
grass is said to be relished hogs, and it
will bear cutting as often as once a
month.
In Canada they make use of oats and
peas, or oats and vetches or tarts, for
soiling hogs the plan being to SOW once
a fortnight throughout the season a plot
of ground sufficiently large to produce
food enough to keep the hogs during
that length of time. In the New Eng
land States, where fewer hogs are kept,
and where it is not usual to let them
run at large, they rely largely on early
pastures to keep them through the
summer. Several Eastern papers have
advocated planting largely of the Early
Rose potatoe each season, with a view
of feeding them to hogs. In our opin-
ion hogs would prefer almost any of the
substances we have named to raw tur-
nips, while we think they could be
easier raised.

Fertilizers for Potatoes.

An interesting experiment with pot
ash in the growth of potatoes has been
made by Mr.. Charles D. Hunter, of
Blennerhosset Cumberland, who COM
municates the results to the Marx Lane
Erpress. Mr.. Hunter experimental
upon several fields, the source of pot
ash employed being muriate of potash
of so to SO per cent. strength priced at
los. cd. per cwt. Mr.. Hunters recon-
mendations for potatoes are, super
phosphate of lime, 6 1-2 cwt., muriate of
monia, 2 IL cwt. per acre. This will be
found for potatoes much better in coun-
teracting disease than farm-yard man
ure, and if the latter be valued at IS.
per ton laid down in the field, the
above mixture will be found cheaper,
even taking into consideration the after
effects of the farm-yard manure.
"These experiments" says Mr.. Hunter,
"were tried upon Blennerhasset farm,
manured and farmed by William Law
son, Esq, and where in 1868 and 1869,
40 and 70 acres of potatoes have been
grown entirely with these chemical
manures; and though IA and even Is
cwt. per acre have been applied, the
potatoes are to-day March 25) coming
out of the pits nearly as sound as wnen
they went in" The application of this
mixture in the case of grain cannot be
advised as a profitable investment.

potash are very marked, and when ap-
piled in moderate quantities un-

but where a great weight per acre of
rye grass is wanted, the addition of pot
pose has not proved profitable upon our
soils, though the quality of the produce
was certainly improved. 1t has also
shown profitable results when applied
to turnips, and probably all root crops
will pay for the use of potash along with
