Cooked FooD FOR HoGs.-Thcre is no
reliable data to show the precise econ
omica difference between cooked and
uncoO. d food for hogs. Our own ex-
perienc would show that three bushels
OF corn ground and boiled will make as
much pork rs four bushels and one-half
in the ear and unboiled. Therefore il
is about an even thing with corn at 60
cents a bushcl whether you feed il
whole or ground. The mill being near
at hand, three bushels of corn would be
$3.50; grinding, (say) GO cents, would
make 10. Four and one-half bushels
in the ear would be S2,22, leaving only
Is cents for hauling and Smelling.
Our experience is in favor of boiling
corn for hogs in the car, in a kettle
holding not less than three barrels. The
mass being once brought to tho boiling
point, under pretty tight fitting cover,
the fire may be left to dio away. When
she mass is sufficiently cooled to feed,
much of the corn will be found burst
open, and parted from the cob. Hogs
are exceedingly fond of it prepared in
this way, and fatten, we think, nearly
rs readily upon it as when ground.
In the case of vegetables, there is no
doubt of the economy of boiling. 1t
viii not pay to grind or cook corn when
the price is less than 80 cents per bushel
neither will it pay to cook corn when
much less than forty cents n bushel, I'M
less you have unusual facilities for doing
so-Interior.

A NOVEL WAY OF GETTING RICu-A
member of the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture, few days since, received letter
in printed form, of which the following
is copy allow 10 make two persons
rich-not q lottery, but gift-from
many to one, and from one to one of
many. The sum of ten cents is paid
out in thousands OF ways almost every
day, thoughtlessly, b. millions of peo-
pie. One million in ten cent pieces
makes in round Numbers 100000.
Without any claim TO charity, or any
pretense of anything whatever, the un-
dersigned most respectfully solicits
from you one ten cent scrip, and asks
you TO send Il in envelope inclosed.
Please do not put this ono side, but at
once grant so small request, and be
one of many to make one man rich,
who will in return, unprejudiced, give
one halfreceived, less expense incurred,
to one of those who first give. The
names of both persons made rich by
this novel idea will be published. You
will not miss ten cents. Please send it
by return mail. 1t will certainly make
two persons rich-your obedient SER
want, and IL may DO you. Respectfully,

remarkable narration we declare the
leading particulars TO be a veritable

In the town OF Newbury, Mass, is a
dwelling which was erected in 1852. 1t
is genuine curiosity, and is so heavily
timbered that II will stand five hundred
years, unless pulled down. 1t was
used for q garrison in the time of the
Indian wars. The stairs are made of
blocks of oak timber, ten inches wide
and ten inches thick. What is quite as
remarkable as anything about Il is the
fact that the dwelling is now occupied
by the seventh generation of the family
that built il, the Christian name of each

Coal Pit on Fire for a Hundred Years.

From the London News.
Coal Pit on Fire for a Hundred Years.
One Of the most curious phenomina
in connection with coal mining is ex-
hibited at the Bank Colliery, near Roth
ham, the property of Earl FitZwilliam.
This pit caught fire 100 years ago, and
all the efforts of the workmen at the
time, and subsequently,, have been quite
Intellectual to extinguish it. A short
time ago it was discovered that the
flames were approaching the bottom of
the shaft, and il was then resolved, if
possible, to stay their progress, so that
they might not extend to other parts of
the workings. At length the Superin-
tendent of the colieries, Mr.. T. Coop
err, conceived the idea of building a
wall to shut in the fire, and in order to
ascertain the best site for this wall, sew
eral of the officials crept OH their hands
and knees through the dense sitting
smoke, as far as possible into the work.
ings. Their efforts were successful,
and O wall is now completed nearly
1000 yards in length, and varying from
nine inches to five feet in thickness.
At distances varying from thirty to fif-
ty yards metal pipes have been insert
ed in this wall, which are securely
plugged AT the end, SO that at any time,
/ by removing the plugs, the state of the
air on the side of the fire, and even the
| position of the fire itself, can be ascer-
tanned. So intense is the heat arising
| from the fire that people possessing gar

growth of plants is materially affected,
and that they are enabled to obtain two
