The magnets in the Nonpareil Telegraph in
struments are made of different resistanccs,
and they are furnished to work lines up to
five miles in length.
Persons ordering instruments to operate
lines of more than half a mile in length
should state the length of the line. and size
or number of the wire on which they desire
to work them. in order that magnets of pro-
per resistance and the necessary amount Of
battery may be furnished.
The demand for some inexpensive vet COM
plete apparatus, by the means of which the
telegraphic art may be acquired has long
existed, and has constantly grown more ur-
gent. AS the telegraph has come into more
general use the desire to became familiar

AN EXPENSIVE JOKE.

4 man who plays practical jokes on
his wife deserves 10 be punished; and
Slatterv, of Muncv, was punished.
His wife has a dread of cats, and be-
fore retiring at night she always looks
carefully under the bed to see that no
stray puss. and no man, on robbery
bent. are concealed there. 4 few
nights ago. after Mr.. and Mrs. Slnttery
had retired. Slattery. who has been
learning ventriloquis!n, thought he
would amuse himself and scare his
wife Ivy gently rowling. and sk%illfully
making the sound come from under the
bed. Mrs. Slattery instantly sat up and
exclaimed:
Josiah. l do believe there is a cat
il. the room"
"Oh. nonsense" grunted Slattery;
and then he made the noise again.
II tell you JOSIAH exclaimed Mrs.
s.. 81 hear Il cat under this bed. l
wish you'd get ont and order it away
"Oh, go to sleep, Matilda said
Slattery. Il don't hear anything.
There no cat about"
Then Josiah, with his mouth beneath
the covers, uttered a louder screech
than before.
We'll. if YOU won't clear that cat
out, You brute, l WILL" said the angry
woman.
SO she reached over, took Josiah's
boots, and put them On in the bed in
order to protect her feet and ankles
from the Infatuated animal. Then she
took Slattery's cane and stopped down
to sweep it around beneath the bed.
just as she did SO Josiah emitted q
fearful yell which might have come
from a cat in the last parxisms of ny
drophobia. This startled Mrs. Slattery
SO that she sprung backward, and in
so doing she stumbled against the ba-
by cradle, which was overturned, and
she went leadforemost against the
twenty-five dollar looking glass on the
bureau, while the cane flew out of her
hand, lighting with considerable force
on Slattery's head.
The screams of Mrs. Slattery aroused
the neighborhood, and even brought
out the fire department, so that by the
time the baby was rescued from the
wreck and the broken glass picked up,
two engines had steams playing upon
the house, and the front door had been
burst open by the police; and fremen
were engaged in dragging a wet hose
over the entry carpet and up the front
stairs, just as Slat!ery come down to
explain things. That feline ventrilo-
quism cost him just 500 for carpets
and looking-glasses, anda confusion on
the head which the people of Muncy to
this day believe he received in a pugil-
istic encounter with his wife.

DIGENERAcY IN FowLs.-Frail fancy
beauty in fowls, but shows d~cgeneracy
in constitution and usefulness. When
fowls are looked upon from unitarian
standpoint, they are but animated
machines for the conversion of food into
eggs and flesh, and their true value is
in proportion to the quantity and
quality of these two articles produced.
Hens in wild stale only lay what eggs
they can cover, and then incubate; this
they do perhaps twice during the season
The production of eggs in large quanti-
ties is, therefore, not a natural but an
artificial or developed power. Such
an undue preponderance of the egg pro-
ducing powers most necessarily try the
constitution, even if this production has
become second nature, SO that inorder to
obtain the largest yield of eggs possible,
the largest stock of stamina and elasti-
city possible must be infused into the
laying stock, and as they get it, Of
course, from the breeding stock, it be.

PENS FOR PIGS,

Farmers in a great majority OF cases
have less pride in what they do for
swine than any other laboror uron the
premises. First class bans for horses
and cattle, convenient sheds. etc, for
sheep are numerous, bu. it is some
thing Of q rariety to see a nice. airy and
and really convenient pig-stv. The
reason of this is doubtless attributable
20 the generally conceived idea that the
hog is a filthy animal. and not fit to
occupy a decent place: but the fact is,
swine are made more filthy than it is
their nature to be by being confined in
%unwholesome and uncleaned pens.
A pen can be easily constructed SO
that the floors Of the different depart
ments may be kept dry and wholesome.
The floor should be tight, on little de-
cline, and kept Uttered with a~bsorbents.
In the construction of pens there is a
general fault in the way of having them
too low between joints, most of them
being not over five feet, when there
should be 1t less then seven, SO that 4
man can stand erect in them. We
have seen many expensive pens having
this fault and the swine therein abso-
lutely neglected on account of the
back aching work of cleaning the diff
ferent sections ont.
Every sty should have q good yard at
n side, so that the swine may get at
the earth, but they should not be al
lowed to run therein at will, nor should
the cleaninGs of the pen he thrown into
the yard to be mixed with the soil by the
tramping and roofing of the hogs, for
it is one of the most valuable manures
that can be produced upon a stock
farm.
The farmer who makes most money
from pork-raising is the man who not
only is careful in the selection of breeds
but particularly careful to have good
commodious pens and give the swine all
the attention required to make them
grow and lay on fat rapidly. When we
see fattening hogs in rail pens with the
earth fora floor and the sky for a roof.
our opinion is at once formed as the
chances of that farmer to prosper, and
they are decidedly unfavorable.-Ohio
