The Hog Crop.

Returns to the National Crop Re
porter relative to the total quantity OF
hogs fatted for market this seaso as
compared with the last, indicate that
in Illinois, Georgia and Arkansas a
total falling off of ten per cent. has
taken place. Of this the percentage
of loss in Illinois is four and seven
tenths, Iowa four and four tenths,
Ohio nine, Missouri seven and three
tenths, and Wisconsin seven and one.
halt. Correspondents state that in
order to supply the demand from
packers the reserve of stock hogs has
been drawn upon quite extensively,
and as rule the supply of hogs fit
tormarket Is nearly.or quite exhausted
at points Of production. Partial re
turns from illinois, Missouri and
Georgia as to the average of winter
wheat sown this season, indicate an
increase in those states of eight and
eight-tenths per cent. over the average
in the tall of 1872. The condition
and prospect in nearly all the Terri
tories are very much more favorable
than In December, 1872.

The following directions are in
dorsed by The Manufacturer and
Builder: Choose some of the most
powerful buds of the fogers you
would preserve-such as are late IN
blowing and ready to open; cut them
off with pair of scissors, leaving to
each, if possible, piece of the stem
three inches long. Cover the stem
Immediately with sealiDg-wax; and
when the buds are little shrunk and
wrinkled, wrap each CT them up sep
arately in a piece of paper, perfectly
clean and dry, and put them in a dry
box or drawer, and they will keep
without corrupting. In winter, of
any other time, when you would have
the flowers bloom, take the buds at
night and cut off the end of the stem
sealed with wax, and put them into
water into which little nitTe or salt
has been difrused, and the next day
you will have the pleasure OF seeing
the buds open and expand themselves
and the flowers display their most
Iovely colors and breathe their agree
able odors.

Up on the day CT the Inauguration of

satisfactory to Medil, but we never

Turnips for Spring.

Recently, passing a store, / noticed
a basket of English turnips with 6
fresh growth Of an inch or two. Il
reminded me of an expermen: ]
made, as long ago as 1856. When ]
laid in my turnips for Winter use, /
removed with a sharp knife every
germ of a sprout. The turnips re
tanned all their good qualities till late
in the Spring. The experiment was
80 successful that l avaiIed myself of
the same process ever thereafter. But
life would assert It's power by pro
truding a curious growth On the bot
tom of the turnip; also, by throwing
out a white mass resembling mold,
which, under the microscope, proved
TO be web of fine rootlets.
If, then, these beautiful, delicate,
silk like roots are necessary to the
health and growth of the plant, no
one need wonder that a plant dis
turbed in the soil or ruthlessly pulled
from it for transplantlng, should
languish for a season or die before IL
can again throw out its web of root

The December Wool Trade.

Howard & Co.'s Chicago Wool
Circular says that the month of De-
cember opened with a firm feeling in
wool and general confidence in the
future state of the market. Toward,
the middle of the month prices ad
vanced two to three cents above quo
tations for November. This advance
was fully maintained, and at the
opening of the new year prices may
be quoted at about four cents higher
than on the 1st Of December.
This demand has been principally
from manufacturers, though a consid
erable amount has been taken on
speculative account. The range for
the month has been As to 50 cents
for tub washed Al to 4G cents for
washed fleece; 2s to 80 cents for un-
washed, and "a to 40 for pulled.

An enterprising farmer IN Vermont,

apples. ! also raised some pork to
sell each year, and occasionally fat

were no longer useful for the dairy or
the yoke. From seven colonies OF
bees 1 received a steady income and
increased my stock each year.
But without going into details, /
will say that at the end of six years i
sold my farm back to the man OF
whom ] bought it. He had been
West, and came back thoroughly
homesick, ard wanted his old home.
In no one Of the six years did ] clear
less than $500. Now, take my $4,000
and my age, thirty years, and suppose
that l should live tc the allotted age
of man, (three score years and ten,)

The illustrations OF THE ALDIHE have
won a worldwide reputation, and in the
art centres Of Europe IL is an admitted fact
that its wood cuts are examples of the high
est perfection ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor of "steel plates" Is rapidly
yielding to a more educated and discr1min-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
Of superior artistic quality, with greater
facility of production. The wood-cuts of
THE ALDINE possess all the delicacy and
elaborate finish OF the most costly steel
plate, while they afford better rendering OF
the artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
THE ALDLNEis doing for the cause OF art
culture in America, 1t Is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people OF any other
decent representations of the productions OF
great painters.
In addition TO designs by the members of
the National Academy. and other noted
American artists, THE ALDINE Will re-
produce examples Of the best foreign mas
ters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest
Thus the subscriber to THE ALDLNE will,
at trifiing cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences Of true
art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be

Something New for Housewives

A new mode of washing linen ha:
been introduced and adopted in Ger
many. The operation consists in dis
solving two pounds of soap in about
three gallons of water as, hot as the
hand can bear, and adding to this one
tablespoonful OF turpentine and three
of liquid ammonia; the mixture musi
then be well stirred, and tie liner
STEPPED in it for two or three hours
taking care to cover up the vesse
which contains them as nearly her
m etically as possible. The clothe:
are afterward washed out and rinsed
in the usual way. The soap and
water may be reheated and used 6
second time, but in that case half 2
tablespoonful of turpentine and q
tablespoonful of ammonia must be
added. The process is said to cause
a great economy of time, labor and
fuel.

IN the grave thy love will keep me warm.

But thou wilt forgive-thou wilt forgive.
Thy flesh and thy soul go with me to the
night;
My bIoodless shadow remains in sight;
But thou must conquer, and rule and live.
Bury thy heart with me, my own;
For 80 thou must; ah, God, thou musti
But grave thou above my corpse on the
stone,

Up to the couch the casket lift.
So oft thou has fondly questioned me;

gray man,
How that God became flesh and blood,
And died that man might be pure and good
Ay, grow to be gods in LIES brief span.
And how that, the night before died,
He held with His friends a mystic feast |;
And spake of love, deep, unlverse-wide;
OF a comfort to come for which men sighed,
AspIrit, to be the worlds sole priest
And thenhe lifted the wine-cup on high,
And bade them drink and remember
Him;
And promised that he would be near to

And bend an ear divine to their sigh,
When the lamp Of life burns pale and
dim.

And bade them fashion-take It, sweet
