4 Nora Scotia Tide.

The scenery here is remarkable only in
u single point. and that is the rise OF the
tide. waves A gentleman said to me,
when 60 away abroad, and in differ
ent lands. they boast Of their many adj
vanlages, | always stump them by asking,
''IIow high does your tide run? Ours
rises sixty ieet"' The valleys and
meadows that reach along the basin look
very much like other fertile valleys. The
orchards, on the fruit Of which Longfellow
still gives an annual premium, look just
like the orchards of Eastern States. And
the farm. houses differ from thuse in Maine
and New Hampshire only by being a
little more antique, but the tide is an IN
stitution. Every farmer on the lower
land has dixie TO keep the Atlantic
Ocean from stealing his chickens and
other things. When the tide is out,
many miles of fine pasture oder q tempt.
ing bite to the cattle. They have learn
ed, however, 10 be cautious, for when il
comes in the herd are put TO their metal
to keep ahead Of it. The PIGS of Nova
Scotia. differing from all their cousins.
are especially shrewd on this subject.
They follow the tide out closely 10 feed
on the fish it strands in its rapid retreat.
The finest runners take the lead, keep
ing nearest the outbound wave, with one
eye on the crabs and the other on the
Tide. The instant the tide turns, and
takes its first Iandward step, the porcine
leader sounds shrill note of alarm. The
moment it is given, the Whole herd, with
out waiting for another bite. start Tor the

Acadan pigs can. They never get lat.
as that would interfere with agility and
