Making the Pigs Work.

A correspondent of the Massachusetts
Py0nyhnann asks this question:
"Can pigs be carried on through sum-
mcr on green stuff, like clover, luccrnc,
fodder, corn, etc, after they get adj
vanccd enough to cut, or is there some
thing or anything bctter:"
TO which the editor very wisely re-
plies:
We once heard close, calculating,
practical farmer say that he did not be-
licve it paid to work swine; and we
know that old Col. Jaqucs, of Ten Hills
farm, in Summcrville, a genius in his
way, always maintained that it was the
best economy to put pigs on to their
belly at nine months old, that is, to fat
and kill them young. We incline to
think he was right. Nevertheless there
can bc no doubt that manure under the
barn is greatly improved by the mixing
and working which Il few swine will
effect This can be done to some extent
as an incident, but to keep swine for this
special purpose is another matter alto
gcthcr. We should want to count the
cost of it carefully before we undertook
it. Pigs can be summcrcd at pasture
very we'll and chcaply. We have known
instances of this where they have lived
almost wholly on clover and the roots OF
other plants which infcst old pastures.
There is nothing more healthful, but you
could hardly expect to get very rapid
growth on them without some extra feed.
Kept at pasture till October, and then
put to fat, they ought to gain rapidly.
Pigs ought to have access to plenty of
good water To promote a disposition
to root extensively, probably corn in the
kernel and scattered about prOmiscuous-
ly is as good as anything. Potatoes and
raw roofs are always useful, especially
bcets.

so soon into food for human beings. Sec
ondly, pig is an omnivorous animal =;
that is, it can feed and thrive on both
animal and vegetable substances; it is
not very particular, and consumes with
some relish almost any offal from the ia
BILE, from the dairy, and from the kitchen
and garden, which can be scarcely
utilized in any other way, with
which it eats the grain of the field, the
grass and clover of the pasture, and the
acorns of the forest. Therefore almost
any family can raise and fatten one or
two pigs with scarcely any expense what
ever. Thirdly, pigs are accused of being
dirty and filthy and fond of wallowing in
the mud. This is a calumny, for scarcely
any of our domestic animals keeps its
stall and it's bedding as clean as a pig,
provided the latter is not compelled by
the carelessncss or by the ignorance Of
its owner to sleep and to deposit it's cx-
crcments at the same place, but is pro-
vided with good, dry, warm, wcll-lit-
tered and wcll-ventilatcd pen to sleep in,
and with yard which it can walk into
at its own pleasure. Further, there is no
animal that is more fond of being brushed,
rubbed, washed and pcttcd, or that en-
joys good bath in clean, fresh and cool
water as much as does pig, especially
in the summer, when daily bath is so
essential to the health of the animal A
pig takes bath in Il mud pool only when
no other opportunity is lcft.-Cor Chi-
cugO Tribune.

Chinese Private Life.

They have large screen before the
doorway, which gives privacy sufficient
for their need. The window sashes are
closed either by sort of jalousie or thin
mating. They do not surround. their
domesticities with the same mystery and
secret precautions with which we en-
velop these proceedings in Europe. HUI
man nature, they argue, has to sleep, and
here is the map upon which it stretches
itself. Why conceal it? 1t also wants
to eat, and it satisfies its appetite, no mat
ter how many eyes are gazing. Tell a
Chinese cook you are hungry and he will
Immediately fetch his fire, his cooking
utensils, his provisions, and cook under
your very nose. He has no idea of con-
cealing his operations in some far away
back region, yclept kitchen. He squats
down anywhere, makes a fire on or in any
thing: basin, dish, pan or pot-there is
no limit to his invention. He will cook
in the middle of the street, or in the cen
ter of his guests in restaurant. Upon
one occasion, when on board junk, I
observed man cooking his own and his
neighbor's food together in a tub, and an
earthenware saucer containing the char
coal. Wonderful creatures they are,
these despised Chinese, with a dizziness
of finger and ingenuity OF patience unsur.

WOman's Work in the Domestic
Sphere.

IT remains to add that DR.. Pricstlcy
was cmincntly fortunate in his domestic
relations. His wife possessed rare
qualifications as a hclpmcet to her hus-
band, and had large share in the sue
cess of his career; for, although, as far
as We can learn, she did not participate
in his special studies, yet it appears that,
but for her, he never could have carried
through his numerous and formidable
undertakings His testimony to this is
explicit. He says: my wife was a
woman of excellent understanding, much
improved by reading, of great fortitude
and strength of mind, of a temper in the
highest degree atfectionate and generous,
feeling strongly for others and little for
herself. Also, greatly excelling in cv-
erything relating to household affairs,
she entirely relieved me of all concern of
that kind, which allowed me to give all
my time to the prosecution of my stud
les and the other duties of my station"
His son states that his father used to say
that he was merely a ledger, and had all
his time to devote to his own pursuits.
All honor, then, to the wife to whose
womanly devotion the world is indebted
for whatever is great and good in the
achievements of the husband! We have
lately heard much of great man who
attributes all his profoundcst thoughts to
the genius of his wife, he being really only
scribe and editor; but we here see how
great man may owe his intellectual en-
inence to his wife, even though she be
not SO gifted as to be able to furnish all
his best ideas. Of the two methods this is
certainly the most encouraging for
woman, as it assigns the highest Office to
her acknowledged capacities, and pre-
cludes all question of rivalry. The
different ways to the same end; and the
wifc's affections become as indispensable
to the result as the husbands intellect
Had Mrs Pricstley been animated by
modern views, and essaycd to carve out
her own separate fortune in the field of
science or theology, it is emincntly prob
able that she would have failed to do
any great thing herself, and quite certain
that she would have cffcctually defeated
her husband. This must have been the
result, if what DR.. Pricstlcy says is true,
that her efficient domestic aid and her
sympathetic support in his trials and
sufferings were among the indispensable
conditions of his own success. And thus,
in the scclusion of her own family, alb
sOrbcd in social cares, forgetting herself
in instructive solicitudc for others, and
probably with no ambition beyond, this
true woman and model wife was really
ioint-partncr with her illustrious husband
in tho good he accomplished, if not in the
fame he won. And who shall say that
hers was not, after all, the nobler and
happier share of the work?-E. l.. You
nuns, IN Popular Science Monthly Jtor

Horrible Death.

A distiller named Jones, who lived with
his family near the lower bench of the
Big Smoky Mountain, had been annoyed
a good deal by the revenue-rangers last
fall, and determined to change his loca-
ton and business to more secluded
spot.
To carry out this purpose he selected
the head of deep gorge some four miles
distant, walled in with cliffs, where DUR
ing the winter, assisted by some of his
friends, he erected a log building. As
soon as the cold weather was over and
the spring fairly opened, the still and
other things necessary were moved to the
place, and the work of violating the Rev.
enue laws was resumed Several "runs''
we're made and Jones began to congratu
late himself that he had at last found a
refuge beyond the prying eyes of the
Government hirelings, where he could
pursue his avocation in peace.
The still-house being some distance
from where his family lived, Jones rarely
visited them more than once in fort.
night. Everything went on well enough
until about four weeks ago. when he
failed to appear at the accustomed time.

Fearful Effects of a NitrO.Glycerine
Explosion.

The terrible effects of the explosion of
six cans OF nitro-glycerine $50 pounds),
near Parker's Landing, Pa, by which
a young man named John Osborne was
blown to atoms, are thus described:
Osborne started from EmlcntOn for Pc
trolia, where he was to fill several orders.
When he reached Parker it was too dark
to proceed further with any degree of
safety, and he was persuaded by II rela-
tive to remain over night He was called
early in the morning, and, obtaining a
horse and blackboard, started from Par
kcr over the toughest road that was pos
sible, although it is conjcctured he went
that way to make time, as it is the near
est route. He had crossed Bear Creek
and was over 100 feet up the south slope
of the hill when the explosion occurred.
Osborne's body was horribly mangled.
The head and body from above the hips
and portions of the arms were thrown
over 300 feet from the scene. Entrails,
parts of clothing and debris could be
seen hanging in the tops of trees, though
they were over 100 feet high. The head
and portions of the stomach were found
in Bear Creek, over 100 feet distant. The
right hand was found nearly half mile
away, and in a radius of mile numer-
Gus other portions were found, but it
would be utterly impossible to distin-
guish them from portions of the horse,
whose body was scattered in all direc-
tions by the terrific conclusion. The
shoes were torn from the horses feet,
which may be termed the most singular
incident of the dreadful disaster. The
seat of the blackboard and part of the
structure were found scattered over hill
and ravines, and could not be distir-
guished except by a previous knowledge
of what it was. The trees were stripped
of the foliage for rods around, many of
them being barked. The excavation in
the road caused by the explosion was
four to five feet deep, and most of it was
from solid rock.-Boston Herald.

Nothing was thought of this for day

Nothing was thought of this for q day
or two, but when another week elapsed
without the return of Jones the family
became alarmed, and thought that he
had been captured by revenue jayhawks
and carried to Knoxville, or some other
place where violators of the law arc
occasionally convicted and punished.
The alarm was given through the sparscly-
settled ncighborhood. A small number
of men gathered, and, accompanied by
Mrs. Jones and her son, a youth of ten
or twelve years of age, they started up
the gorge in the direction of the still
house.
On reaching the building they found
the door closed and fastened, and no sign
of Jones or any one else could lie seen.
Mrs. J. called the name of her husband
several times; no response, however,
came back to relieve her anxiety. But
upon attempting to force an entrance
they were greeted with those peculiar
notes of warning which the car of the
East Tennessee mOuntaincer never fails
to recognize. The door was at once
broken down, and sight met them that
caused all to start with fright and hor-
rOr.
The form of the distillcr lay upon the
Hcol, Will c\cS StdItiHS lIOIl tHcll ootN
cts, the features horribly distorted and
body swollen to twice its usual proper
tons, while the whole interior of the
building was alive with rattlcsnakes,
some in coil and ready for battle, but the
larger proportion stupid and inert, as
though they had been imbibing literally
of the illicit fruit of the still. The moth
or and son fled horror-stricken from the
place. A consultation was had, and, as
it was impossible to rescue the body OF
poor Jones without mourning fearful risk,
it was determined to reclosc the entrance
and other apertures and fire the building,
which was done. The party stayed until
the house was entirely consumed and
nothing remained but the now useless
still and the calcined bones of the miscr
able distiller
1t is supposed that Jones had built his
mandatory close upon den of the
deadly reptiles in the Overhanging cliff,
and that, attracted by the heat, or posi-
bly, the fumes of the whisky, they found
their way into the building in large num-
bcrs after he had closed the door and lay
down to slecp.-Athen$ (Tenn.) Post.
