Carson did not reach home. And
his wife did feel the shock be had SO

II so much that she died. Then Car
sons friends at the fort made him
come 70 stay where they and the sur

could TO lesson his suffering. And
so surrounded by his friends and love
and honor, his end came.
His wife was n of the good New
Mexican Spanish families, and their
children belong with the most re-
sneeted and wealthy old settlers

The Pig.

The pig was thus written up by a
Georgia boy, whose composition was
published in his local paper, the Crit
fin News, and was as follows:
"The pig is as big as a sheep, only
pigs wool isn't good for making
stockings OF. Why is a pig like a
tree? Because he roots; that is a
conundrum. A pig washes himself
in mud. A pig has four legs under
each corner of his body. They pickle
pigs feet, but not until the pig is
done using 'em. A pig squeals
awful when it rains, also when you
pull its tail. a pig has got a first
rate voice for squealing, and he
grunts when be feels good. You
can't make a whistle Of a pigs tail,
eos it is crooked. Why is a pig like
Tommy Grant? Cos he's got his
los in every body's business. This
is a mother conundrum, which is all
| know about the pig"

sweet Corn for Green summer
Feeder.

A Western friend sends us some
remarks Of his on this subject, in
which he takes the ground that sweet
corn, from its sscking ~propensities, is
more profitable than the common vel
low corn. He says:
The finest fodder is raised from
Mammoth Sweet Corn sown for that
purpose it being of large growth and
~suckeriDg freely on good soil. If to
be fed during short pasturage in sum-
mer, it should be wilted at least
twenty-four hours before feeding.
If for winter use, it should be well
cured before storing, as it contains
so much sugar that it spoils very
soon. Our practice is TO wilt it two
days, turning it on the second day,
and then set it up in large shocks,
and there let it stand till wanted,
load by load. We fn1 it the best
and cheapest feed, and on our rich
garden lands as profitable as most of
our vegetable crops. We sow it in
burrows three feet apart, eight or ten
kernels to q foot in length After
one or two workings the shade covers
the ground. 1t can be cut with a
busb-hook or, what is better, with a
stout reaper, and left in bundles, if
you have two men to remove them.

Maltese again advanced a slow paw,
at which, as if by concerted inten-
ton, both gave ~crescendo TO the iull
power of articulation aud diminished

their tails in full sympathy OF volume.
A minute elapsed without any change
of affairs. when the stranger once
more cssaved TO move, this time turn
inc h. head: ~whereupon Tom sprang
and instantly the two were lost IN a
confessed ball of fur rolling about,
from which emanated the most APT
paIling outcries Of anger and despair,
in ali the cadences of wrath and
misery. Pain and exhaustion soon
found both on their feet splitting and
humming, with an occasional rush
up and down their natural gamut
and an increased rigidity Of muscles,
both tails in full swing, but the
stranger had an involuntary twlteh-
ing OF the ears, as if suffering from
local irritation.
A pause finally came; the Maltese
by gradual movement gained three
stems. when Thomas charged en-
masse, but his adversary was this
time on the alert, and there eommenc-
ed some of the finest imaginable
sparring. each using both sets Of
6yesu with such rapid exchanges
that is was hard to say which was
the best; but at length Tom, out of
patience, closed in and clenched,
throwing his antagonist, both en-
ploying their whole resources, their
voices blending in one horrible shrek
of agony and rage. The fur began
TO be detached freely, aud some ques-
Ition Of our favorite's sanitary con-
dition began to arise in our mind,
when . small boy shouting from a
window near by caused the Maltese
to break away and scramble over
the fence, Tom making backgammon
lines on him to the last moment.
An immediate inspection OF the
veterans exterior resulted in finding

Ia popularity of cats,) a phenome-
non of escape after such a reciprocal
action Of needlelike claws, but his
adversary must have suffered in as
cerding the fence with Tom close be-
hind, repidly telegaaphing the latest
intelligence along his spine.
But now our friend sits by the fire,
slumbering oblivious Of past or
future caterwauls. The rodentia be-
ing shy of the house, his position is
a %sinecure, coming under the head of

patriots rejoice in apothecaries' win

no wild ones Of the species.
The proverbial cosy quietness of
Grimalkin during the day Is balanced
by excursions at night, q sort of COM
pensation of one extreme for the
other; and this suggests a striking

TnrnIps and Corn.

4 Westchester County (N. "
farmer is in the habit Of sowing vel
low Aberdeen turnips among bis
corn at the last passage of the cult
vator, when the plants are about FIVE
feet in height. The turnips do not
make much growth until the corn is
cut, after which they swell rapidly.
The cost is nothing except for cost OF
seed and harvesting. aud corn, being
already cut, is not injured when the
turnips are gathered in. From one
TO four hundred bushels of turnips
per acre have been thus obtained
without lessoning the corn crop
Weeds are not tolerated, and the
whole strength of the land is devoted
as it should be, to useful crops.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the f%ollicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied aud
