How to Hang a Hog Easily.

A WESTERN farmer writes the n Y
Tribune: Take the hind wheels of wag-
on, with the reach in; take ladder about
ten feet long; let one end extend about
two feet out behind the wheels; tie il
with a rope to the axletree and reach;
platform, draw the hog On to the ladder
head foremost, letting the hind parts of
the hog reach as far back as the ends of
the ladder, and letting the hog lie on his
back; then wheel him to the hanging pole,
lower the end of the reach, letting his
legs 60 each side of the hanging pole,
putting the other end of the gambrel in
it's proper place; raise up the forward end
Of the reach, letting the hog slide down
the ladder; remove the wheels, and you
will find that the thing is done with very
little liftinp

come thirty-fve or forty years. have
taken care, however, to avoid my father s
mistake, and have greatly increased the
size of the ears without materially length
ening the period of growth. For the
first few wears picked the earliest ears
for seed, taking them before cutting the
corn. But the growth, although larger
than at first, was too small, and it ripened
so early I concluded to profit by my
fathers experience, and obtained larger
kind without making it much less.
Any farmer, if he is keen observer
will have noticed that the large and late
ears always have large cob, which Is in

ing the size, l stopped picking my seed in
the field, and selected the largest ears that
had small stem. If I found large ear
with small stem, and especially II the
stem was wilted and tough to break,
which indicated early maturing, saved
it for seed In this way soon perceived

as nv father did, l commenced picking
my seed in the field. But noticing that
my corn continued to ripen considerably
earlier than my neighbors', ventured to
try the experiment of making it still
larger. Consequently, for few years
past, have selected seed at husking, and
saved for seed handsome ears. having ten
or twelve rows, with the indispensable
small stems. At first l found but few
ears of this kind, but they have become
SO numerous that this year have saved
only twelve-rowed ears, and probably
shall not venture to go beyond this, al
though l find now and then an ear with
fourteen, and, this year, with sixteen
rows.
This shows what can be done by select

Selecting Corn for Seed.

Your older readers will remember the
cold summer of 1916, when but very lit
tie corn got ripe in the New England
states. A year or two afterward my
father obtained very small kind of eight
roWed corn that was recommended as
sure to ripen. l do not know what was
its proper name, but remember it was
called in this vicinity tucked corn" Ac-
cording TO the best of my recollection
the ears would average about six inches
IN length. 1t ripened early. He selected
Tor seed the largest ears; and the result
was, the ears continually increased in
size and length, and from eight rows he
got ten rows, then twelve, then fourteen,
and at last there began to be few ears
with sixteen rows. But as it gained in
size 1t was later in ripening, and in fit.
teen or twenty years we had another
short summer and abundance of "pig
corn"
The next spring was told that a tav-
ern keeper at Haverhill, this State, raised

frost, and was advised to try it. have

THERE has never been exhibited in the
history of parties in Virginia such fimsy
foundation as that which constitutes the
basis of the Conservative organization. In
fact, it has neither substantial principle nor
policy, considered in relation to the true
objects of government. 1t is shifting from
one expedient to the other, in the hope OF
succeeding in striking upon something by
which to excite popular prejudice, and ride
into power upon it. Starting out with the
declared purpose of making race prejudice
"a war upon labor--the absorbing thought
of the canvass, it found that this only envi-
roned it with moro difficulties, and brought
down uponitn not only the contempt and con-
demnation of the solid people Of the state,
but the ridicule of all intelligent minds
abroad. From bitter denunciation of the
administration, it passed to faint praise,
and we believe is now ready to embrace
the whole machinery of Republicanism
even to accepting General Grant as its can
didate for third time. Its warfare now in
Virginia is upon Colonel Hughes political
consistency. Having virtually collapsed in
its war upon the labor element, its only
source of carrying on canvass seems to
be to dig up from the dead past the writings
| and utterances of the Republican candidate
| for governor, and try to inilame the pas
sions OF the people about that. They seem
to forget that there is bloody chasm be.

Reported Loss of Two Vessels.
NEW BEDFORD, September 9.-The
schooner Abbie Bradford, at this port from
Hudson's bay, reports the loss of two New
Bedford whalers, and brings a portion of
the crew of one of them. The particu-
lars are as follows: "On the 14th
OF September, 1872, the bark Orray
Taft, at anchor near Marble island,
Hudson's bay, parted her cables and went
ashore, landing high and dry in such a
position that she can not be got off. On the
10th of October following the bark Anse
Gibbs went ashore at the same place, went
to pieces, and is total wreck. The Orray
Taft had no oil, but the Ansel Gibbs had
$50 barrels of whale oil and IL 900 pounds
of bone, most of which was lost. A
small amount was saved by the Abbie
Bradford. No men were lost at the time
of the wrecks, but both crews were
obliged to live on the island until the I'd
of August last, and from exposure and
lack of proper food were attacked with
scurvy. The winter was fearfully cold,
being the most severe for number of
years, SO that natives of the island died by
scores, and the wrecked crews suffered
exceedingly. Ten of the crew of the
AuSel UlUDS dnu lOuT VI ttc Crew VI tilc
