EATTENING H0GS.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer gives
his experience as follows "I was just
beginning to farm, and as I was desirous
of knowing the best way Of fattenning
hogs, I determined to, try the different
plans, and also how much pork barrel
of corn will make. made foored pen
and covered it in. Weighed three hogs
and put them in the pen. Ialso weighed
three of the same size and put
them in o dry lot; average weight, one
hundred and seventy five pounds; / fed
SIX barrels Of corn to the six hogs. They
were forty days eating the corn, with
plenty of salt and water. Their average
gain was seventy five pounds. The hogs
in the lot gained the most. One that
was fattened in the lot gained eighty
pounds One in the pen gained eighty
four pounds; the other four we're not 80

GREEN FOOD FOR FO WIS.

Mr.. Wright, in his book on poultry,
thus talks of the importance of green
food to poultry that is confined: The
last requisite in the shape of diet is a
regular supply of green food. Here,
again, fowls kept on grass will need no
attention but for birds penned up the
daily provision of it is an absolute ne
cessity, though most beginners are ig-
norant of it. We well remember in
our early experiences how our fowls
died, we could not at first tell why; and
one fine Buff Cochin cock, whose only
fault was strong vulture hook, was IN
particular greatly regretted. An expert
enced friend let us into the secret, and
after that we had no difficulty in keeping
fowls. even where ite is often said they
cannot be kept in health, viz: in yard
paved with large fag-stones. The best
substitute for natural grass is a large,
fresh turf, thrown in daily, to each foul
or five hens; and even in towns it is often
possible to procure this by giving chill.
dren few pence every week to keep uI
a regular supply. Where turf is not al
lowed to be taken grass NAV be cut ol
pulled, but in this case must be cut int
green chaff with shears or a chaf ma
chine. The latter plan is how we actually
managed for years in yard only sixty
seven by thirty-five feet, divided into 81,
pens, paying some child few pence t.
bring frcsh-cut grass daily, cutting it NJ
and mixing it with their soft meat.

SEED POTATOES.

An old Maine farmer, in giving his
idea on seed potatoes, says that we use
roo ripe seed when we propagate from
tubers that have lain in the ground until
dead ripe. He says that plants that are
propagated by tubers require different
treatment from those propagated by
seeds. Our corn and grains that we
use for seed we like to have
stand little longer than the
main crop, and become perfectly ma
tured. On the same principle our corn
is selected from the ripest, best-developed
ears and kernels. But potatoes for seed
should be dug and placed in a cool, dark
cellar, just as soon as majority Of them
will slightly crack open in boiling. This
is most invariably while the tops are yet
green and growing fast. The tubers are
then in most vigorous state. Disconnect
them from the parent stalk at that time
and they retain their vigor. Instead of
deteriorating, as most Of us know the
older sorts have, their vitality is in
creased, and they yield better, with less
tendency to rot. As long ago as 1915,
and subsequently, observations led him
to make some experiments to test the
theory, and he finds it the proper course
to pursue. r.5rsi g.
Is it not often said that the late plant
ted potatoes are better for seed than
those planted early? The lateness ol
their planting, presumably, pre-
vents early ripening, hence the prin-
ciple of the above reasoning would be
in force.

FINANCIAL FINESSE.

Forty years ago the brokers and spec
ulators knew very little of "corners," :"
such as have rendered the operations of
these gentry in New York and Chicago
notorious in these latter days. Stocks,
grain, and provisions were bought and
sold them in quite a primitive fashion
according to our present ideas. But,
notwithstanding their ignorance of the
improved facilities for making money
which these latter days have developed,
our fathers at times conducted financial
schemes SO daring and startling as to
evidence they were not unworthy pro-
genitors of the brilliant geniuses of this
day. One of these, desperate and
reckless effort, made during the fore part
of Gen. Jackson's Administration, to
gain control of the then United States
Bank, for the aid its funds would afford
about election times, was entirely worthy
of the best of our present party man
ayers.
The first effort was made upon the
Branch Bank at Portsmouth, n. H., of
which the celebrated Jeremiah Mason
was President but the result was SO
hopeless that the tactics were changed ;
and SO great hue and cry was finally
commenced upon the bank, as a monster
of political corruption and public dan
ger. This aroused the bank-for its
charter would expire, if not renewed, in
some five or six years. This new ele-
ment of controversy speedily drew in all
the adherents of the respective parties ;
and In short time the entire nation was
hotly by the ears upon a subject that
nobody thought about at all until the
politicians cried aloud over il. 4lu3
From insinuations, the assailants OF
the bank soon proceeded TO specific
charges and finally they came out with
the astounding assertion that the bank
was positively insolyent, and they made
the confding "old hero" honestly be-
heve this was so. A charge SO grave
only added to the fury of the contest, as
might well be supposed; but the story
was stronger meat than the public mind
was yet ready to digest. IN this state Of
the struggle the idea was conceived Of
breaking one of the branches of the
bank. of which there were twelve. =
the attacking party could do this, they
might feel certain that the adversary
would fall under the shock. Such al
effort was full of danger. A discover.
and an exposure of plot so diabolica
would have overwhelmed its originators
and swamped the party. But it was no
time, nor were the managers in mood
to sickle at means, or hesitate over dan
gers. The agent chosen to do the worl
was New York broker, whose name W
will call Clark. For the valuable con
sideration which the job would net t.
his purse, he readily undertook it-in I
general business way, of course. Th'
branch selected to be assailed was .th'
Savannah Bank. This was not 30 diff
cult task, either, as might be supposed
Tor that bank was at very remote quar-
ter in those days, and its business wa
comparatively small Usually the amour
Of specie in its vaults was only from
eight to twelve thousand dollars. II

RULES FOR PRESERVING FRUIT.

RULES. FOR PRESERVING FRUIT.
The London Garden gives the follow
ing as the rules of the Royal Horticul-
tural Society for the preservation Of
choice fruit:
/. As the favor Of fruit is so easily
affected by heterogeneous odors, it is
desirable that apple and pear rooms
should be distinct. " t.i.
2. The walls and the floor should be
annually washed with solution of quick
silver. ai } saja.-5
| 3. The room should be perfectly dry,
with as uniform a temperature as prac-
ticable, and be well ventilated; but there
should not be through draft. as =
4. Use the utmost care in gathering
fruit, handling as little as possible.
5. For present use fruit should be well
npened, but for long keeping it is better,
especially with pears, that it should not
have arrived at complete maturity.
The point, however, requires consider.
able Judgment. ,isaesi -
6. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and all more
or less decayed specimens should be re-
moved SEA 81 81 IS e!I T. 5t II
Z. II placed on shelves the fruit should
not be more than two days gathered, and
no straw should be used. - -,
8. Where especially clear and beanti-
full specimens are wanted they may be
packed carefully in dry bran, or in layers
Of perfectly dry cotton wool, either in
closed boxes or in large garden pots.
Scentless sawdast will answer the same
purposes, but pine sawdust is apt to COM
municate an unpleasant taste.
9. With care, early apples may be
kept until Christmas, while many kinds
may be preserved in perfection to q Sec
ond year. 1fl5sl .1a.
The rules given by American fruit
growers agree very wen with the above,
but make especial mention that fruit
rooms for slow ripening should be nearly
dark, and the temperature low. Light
and heat hasten maturity, and next, Of
course, decomposition. ft
