The Study of Ones Hand.

No instrument devised by man COM
pares with it for complication 1t is a
hammer, a vice, a forceps, hook, q
spring, weight; it pushes, draws IN,
and the fingers, alone, contain elements
of chisels, gouges, and all the tools a
sculptor requires in modelling. From
the elbow to the digita1 extremities its
movements are produced by nearly fifty
muscles. So complicated is the cordage
of a human hand, expert anatomists
can hardly keep IN remembrance its
mechanism. With it all the emotions of
the mind may be both manifested and
intensified. How could a Frenchman

its designs. 1t is a wonder Of wonders.

Breeding Hogs

The following is the substance of the
Report of the Illinois State Swine
Breeders Association
1. The lower the price of pork, the
greater the need for growing those
breeds from which the product can be
most cheaply made. Depreciation in
prices should be met by greater efforts
to improve the stock.
3 To avoid possible deterioration, it
is best to preserve the distinct breeds
pure
8. Before furrowing, give sows such
food as will incite the secretion of milk
After furrowing, feed lightly at first,
increasing the quantity carefully up to
the full supply. Teach the pigs to eat
as soon as possible.
4. After weaving, the pigs should
have the best of care. Milk, with oats
and corn ground together, is excellent
food, in proper quantity. Plenty of
exercise is indispensable to health.
5. Market at nine to fourteen months
old for profit.
8. 1t was thought best not to en-
courage the breeding of pure-bred
animals for general pork-making that
is, it is not necessary to coffine it to
any pure breed to insure success, but
that the mixing of pure breeds for this
purpose has, in the main, given very
satisfactory results.
Z. Ground or cooked food will, per
pound, make more pork than unground
or knocked but it does not follow
that, under all circumstances, it is most
profitable to grind or cook it. This
viii depend on the price Of grain, the
expense of grinding and cooking, and
the cost of feeding. Each farmer must
decide the question for himself, and by
his own surroundings. 1t is better to
shell and soak corn, than to feed it IN
the ear.
8. Most diseases among animals are
attributable to want of Judgment and
care in their management. All remedies
for diseases which prevailed in 1871
failed Kill the sick hogs, and find out,
if possible, why they became SO, and
then apply the remedy to the cause.
The style Of architecture, although to
be regarded, is not the most important
part OF piggery. A pen well covered
with coarse, wild hay, and kept clean,
where the pigs are regularly fed and
watered, is all that is indispensable to
success.

The following views on farming were
thrown ont By Mr.. Greeley IN his speech
at Baltimore, and they 50 entirely cover
the ground of successful culture that
we give them place:
/. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits Of the cap
ital and labor employed or, in other
words. that on impoverished soils no
one should cultivate more land than he
could enrich with manure and fertil-
izers. be it one acre or twenty.
2. That there should be law com
polling every man to prevent his stock
from depredating on his neighbor's
fields.
3. That green soil is more economical
than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farmers
bank, and that everything should be
added TO it that viii enlarge it and in
crease at the same time its fertilizing
properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple a.one, but
should seek to secure himself against
serious loss in bad seasons by diversity

s. hard look goes right to your heart.
I've seen boarder make a face at what
I set before him, when had tried to
suit him jest as well as I knew how,
and I haven't cared to eat a thing my
self all the rest of that day, and I've
laid awake without a wink of sleep all
night. And when you have come down
the next morning all the boarders stare
at you and wonder what makes you SO
low-spirited, and why you don't look as
happy and talk as cheerfully as one of
them rich ladies that has dinner-parties,
where they've nothing to do but give
few orders, and somebody comes and
cooks their dinner, and somebody else
comes and puts flowers on the table,
and lot of men dressed up like minis

It isn't but a little while longer that we
are going to be together, and I want to
say to you, gentlemen, as mean to say
to the others, and as I have said to our
ladies, that I feel more obligated to
you for the way you've treated me than
know very well how to put into words.
Boarders sometimes expect too much of
the ladies that provide for them.
Some days the meals are better than
others; it can't help being 50. Some
times the provision-market isn't well

pick a quarrel with the one that is try

kind to me. I suppose I'm not quite so
spry and quick-sighted as was dozen
years ago, when my boarder wrote that

Japan Glove.

The following account OF this clover
we clip from the Mobile Register
This plant, sometimes called Spanish
clover, is one of the greatest boons that
has yet fallen upon the South, and to
whom we are indebted, for it is a mys-
terry that, most likely, viii never be
solved. The same plant grows in Japan,
and that circumstance led Prof Gray,
the botanist, to name it Japan clover.
No one has the slightest idea of how it
got over from Japan; but the most
reasonable conclusion at which we can
arrive is that the seed. or possibly
single seed, was brought across in some
thing shipped from that country. Japan
clover is a heavy grower and viii shade
out almost any grass or other species of
growth. It is an air feeder, and there
fore does well on almost any character
of soil, though rich clay soil suits it
best The rapidity with which it
spreads is perfectly astonishing, the
more since its seeds are not winged, and
therefore can give us no idea of how
they obtain their quick transit from
place to place.

THE printing of pictures. by a new
method, known as the Heliotype process,
is attracting much attention just now.

it is done A sheet of gelatine treated

made to adhere by atmospheric pres
sure to a plate. The plate, with the
gelatine attached. is placed on an or
binary platen-printing press, and linked
with ordinary photographic ink As in
photography, 1t is necessary to dampen
the plate with water after every i'm
preston. Fifteen hundred impressions
have been taken without iniuring the
plate, and if injured, is replaced at a
cost of few cents. The process, is in
fact, what has leng been sought-pho-
tographic printing. It can be applied
to the production of fac Sinfies OF
every variety of picture and engraving,
rare prints, portraits, circulars, and can
even be used in pottery and its kindred
arts.

the enjoyment of life. Its specific effects
IN acute and chronic disorders affecting
