RINGING HOGS.-"J. b." WinODa,
MIMI, asks which is the best method
of preventing hogs from roofing. A
ring in the nose is the best method.
All cutting of the cartilage of the snout
is useless, as the wound heals very soon
and the method is only temporary.
Success in grating the cherry de-
ponds not only upon the careful setting
Of the sciOns, but the operations should
be performed earlier in the season than
with most other kinds of fruit trees.
The scioDs should be inserted as soon
IS the freezing weather is past, and be-
fore the buds have swelled to any con-
siderable extent.
Coal ashes, which are generally re-
gsrded as worthless, may be mixed
with ben manure, and will make ex-
cellent compost for corn and other
paintings. Silt the coal ashes under
the roOst, or upon pile of manure
placed elsewhere. II in the hennery
it will be likely to prevent the hens
from becoming lousy.
There Is no other plant that produces
so pleasing an effect as luxuriant Eng
lish or Irish ivy trained over the walls
of living room, framing q door or
q window, draped about brackets, sta
tuettes or pictures.

The efforts to INTRODUCED the culture Of
the sugar-beet in this country merits
more encouragement than they have
yet received, though there can be little
doubt that this root will ultimately be-
come an important product in our agri-
cultural industry. At an AGRICULTURAL
meeting in Vaienciennes, France,
few years ago, o triumphal arch was
erected bearing the inscription: 1.-THE
growth of wheat In this district before
the production Of beet.root sugar was
only 976, 600 bushels; and the number
of oxen was 700. Since the introduction
of the sugar manufacture the growth
of wheat has been 1850 bushesl,
and the number of oxen ii 500.n There
is probably no crop that returns so much
to the soil rs this. Wherever its cul-
ture has beeu introduced in Europse
the product of wheat and cattle has
greatly increared. The same results
would undoubtedly follow its cultiva-
ton here.
The expense of cultivating may be
increased or reduced, according to the
plan adopted at the outset. In our hot
climate weed feeds will terminate soon
er and grow more rapidly than segeta-
BILE seeds, ana unless practical meas
ures are adopted to keep the weeds
down early in the season, it will be
found a tedious and expensive job to
properly cultivate the crop. In order
to gain time on the weeds by cultiva-
ton, without injuring the young plants
it is best to adopt the plan of RIGGING
or drilling, as it is somotim es called.

Texas Iron.

IT is said that Texas has "iron
enough TO divide the earth by railroads
into sections ten miles across" but
little has ever been done to develop
this mineral wealth. According to a
buae, a Mr.. Jefferson Nash built one
furnace about the year 1927, eighteen
miles west of Jefferson, where he made
cast-iTon, hollow-ware and all kinds
of plantation castings and some
wrought-iron. This cast-iron has been
tried extensively, and proves to be of
remarkably good quality, being ex-
tremely hard and strong, making the
best quality of railroad car wheels.
During the war two other furnaces
We're erected and worked, but ceased
operations at the retoEn of peace. In
1870 Mr.. George A. Kelly, seven miles
northwest of the same Mace, built a
furnace which delivered about seven
tuns per day during four or five
months, and he is operating it again
this year. Mr.. Kelly carries on a large
plow factory. He finds that plow-
points made of his own iron are as
durable as steel, and his plows are
now used almost exclusively through
out the light sandy soils of Eastern
Texas. This country will be pene-
trated i'm few months by the Inter-
national and TraDs-continentai Rail-
roads, and will present to the farmer,
the mechanic, the labOrer, the miner
and capitalist the finest opportunities
ever Offered to them in the United
States. Our navigation is good for
nine months in the year; it is better
than that of the Ohio River, those ac-
quainted with both streams being
judges. This, with the numerous rail-
roads projected to run through this
country, some of them, as the Inter-
national, the Transcontinental, the
Great Northern tof Texas, and the
Southern Pacific, in active construc-
ton, will afford rapid and easy COM
munication with New York and all
Atlantic and interior cities, and with
Mexico and all her principal cities, and
with San Diego and San Bias, and all
Pacific cities, and with Galveston,
Houston, and New Orleans, and all
Gulf cities. The advantages of these
numerous communications, with our
boundless stores of minerals, our rich
and varied styles and productions, our
genial and healthfu1 climates, (for
there are varieties in a territory so large
as Texas, and our low price of lands,
present to all classes unsurpassed in
ducements for emigrants to select our
State for settlement. The country
where the iron exists is heavily tim
bered, chiefly with pitch pine of extra
good quality and size, and the iron
lands are held at very low prices, the
mineral being regarded as not only
useless, but deleterious, thus offering
10 the mining capitalists unusual in
easements.

Fancy Poultry.

"a thing of beauty is a joy forever"
There is no rural pastime that pays bet
ter than keeping fancy fowls. The sat
isfaction derived from the pursuit by
those who tastes lead that way is inn
mense. 1t takes long enough to incu-
bate eggs and rear the delicate little
creatures they bring forth till the full
plumage is reached, to stimulate Ia
good amount OF patience, and contin-
uous effort, but we do not have to wait
so long for the objects of our care to
reach maturity as in the case of quad
rupeds, and as generations of fowls sue
coed each other with such rapidity, ex-
periments i'm breeding can be carried
out and the results reached without
waiting lifetime, which is a great adj
vantage. The cultivation of fancy poul-
try is gaining wonderful impetus in this
country.-Joundi of the Rlym.

A Redeemed Sinner.

al had rather as forgiven child,
with all the prospects of the future
opened unto me, wear the crown pur-
chased by the redeeming love of Christ
than that which is worn by the unfall-
en- angels, because the blessings of a
divine atonement, through divine in
carnation, secured TO the soul in har-
mony with the conditions of the Cos
pei, reveal the character of God i'm a
way impossible to be made known to
those who have complied with all the
law demands aud this places the sim
ner, penitent and forgiven, on a plat
form of experience and personal rela-
tionship to God, of "a nature so peculiar
and so extraordinary as TO throw all
other stars, glittering ever so brightly
i'm the heavenly armament, into COM
parative obscurity, contrasted with the
exceptional brilliancy of that state
which involves the strange anomaly
of Justice and Mercy together, the law
sustained and the sinner saved."-
