We are often asked for prescription

Of our business men work their brains

state Of mind, very antagonistic to quiet

persons can count a hundred and find

About the commencement Of the late
unpleasantness, Judge Sam. Rice made a
speech in North Alabama, in which he
said the Southern soldiers can whip the
Yankees with popguns.
After the war, when things wore a diff
fsrent aspect, he CHANGED to make an
other, but a very different sort Of speech,
in the same place, when an indignant
voter, who had heard and remembered
the former boastful harrangue, rolled up
his sleeves and approached the Judge as
follows:
"sam. Rice, didn't you make a speech
here in 1862"

"And didn't you say that we could
whip the Yankees with pop-gunsi"
Certainly did, but the id rascals

that economy, taste, skill and neatness

Nor is il indispensnbly necessary that

The qualifications forall good housekeep-

A small house can be Yefe easily kept

Taste is as well displayed in placing

SWINE.
When corn Is worth less than forty
cents per bushcl Il will pay well, even at
the present low price Of pork, to make
the hogs fat before selling them. Pack
ers want small, ipe-boned pigs, but they
want them well fttened. Store pigs
should be Kept growing rapidly. The
prospects are favorable for an advance in
pork another year, and farmers, cspec-
cially in the West, should feed their
young stock literally. Breeding sows
should have as much exercise rs you can
make them take in searching for food.
But, at the same time, they should be
able to find as much as they need to keep
them in vigorous health and good condi-
ton. For thoroughbred sows, which
keep easily, and are apt to get too fat,
the food should be Of a rather bulky ma.
ture, such as bran, turnips, etc. Sows
go sixteen weeks. If you have a num-
Der of sows, and IRE short Of breeding
pens, il will be well to push forward
few sows and keep back the others. This
can be done by giving those you wish
served first little extra corn for week
or ten days. Provide dry, well-ventilat-
ed quarters, and see that they are kept
clean an well Uttered. Do not allow old
and young pigs to run together. The
young, growing pigs should have all the
food they will eat and digest. If they
are of the right kind, that mature early,
they must have good food, and plenty of
it, while young, or they will not he

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

Young trees need care at this season,
whether newly-set or not, as there is great
danger from mice and stray cattle. The
gates and fences should be properly secur-
ed, and when light snow falls, it should
be firmly trodden down around each tree,
to keep the mice from knswing the bark.
II is good practice to raise mound Of
earth, foot high around the trunk of
newly-set trees, as a support for them du-
ring the high winds, as well as a securi-
ETY. againt mice.
Rabbits are prevented from injuring
the trees by sprinkling blood upon them,
or wrapping them with tarred paper; the
former is, however, the best.
If any pruning is to be done, it is
better to select mild days during early
winter than to delay until spring.
Where large limbs are removed, the
wounds should be covered with a varnish
of gum-shellac, or with melted grating
wax.
When the trees are not frozen, cions
may be cut, labeled, tied in small bun
dies, and stored in earth or saw-dust.
Grating is very easy method of stock
ing an orchard with good varieties of
fruit, and the operation has often been
explained.
Should any water stand upon the sur
face of the orchard, surface drains should
be opened.
