The Chester County Hog.

The history of the Chester County Pa
Hog Is 4 matter Of special interest to many,
and none the less SO, because il appears to
be somewhat involved in a mist. There
are many persons who pretend to doubt
the existence Of distinct breed bearing
the name, but all difficulties in that direc-
ton are obviated by little scrap Of history
relating to them, which appeared in the
Farm Jowaala number of years ago,
and which, from the fact that the state
ment was made at time when there were
fewer interested parties to dispute its au-
thority, we feel authorized to regard as
correct :-1'lt appears from what we can
learn, that the credit Of introducing the
Chester county breed of swine, Is due to
Captain James Jeferis, who occupied
farm on the forks of the Brandywine,
few miles from West Chester, after retir-
ing from the sea. His ships used TO trade
between Liverpool and Wilmington, Del,
and on one Of his voyages he procured a
couple of hogs from Bedfordshire, with
view Of introducing them into this country.
This was about thirty-fye years ago. They
were then called the Bedford breed, and
have been recognized by Englishmen who
were familiar with them about that time
in Bedfordshire. At present, the breed
Of hogs there Is not 50 distinct, having
been crossed more Of less with Others.
From this origin they have been generally
in Chester and surrounding
and are now known as the Chester
county breed. "They are pure white"

Nov that orchardists appear to be Great
ing mania for early varieties Of the peach,
would 4 rot Be well to inquire into the
feasibility Of encouraging the Introduction
Of FIRST class late varieties as Welt We
have the three new Rivers varieties, all
said 10 be earlier than the Hale's, and still
later, the West informs us that they can
do even better than that, soif we continue
in this strain We must certainly have
peaches all the year round.
Let US see what there Is new In the
closing Of the season. Mr.. Rivers Of Saw
bridgeworsh, England, the indefatigable
introdueer of 50 many new kinds, has not
confined his work alone 70 the early sorts,
but has succeeded in producing few that
are remarkably fine for the closing crop.
Whether or not these have been tested
here, we are not Informed, but that such
viii prove valuable in our orchards, very
little doubt should be entertained Late
varieties, as is well known, are quite pro
ftable, as the price always rises as frost
approaches, and the owner Of good late
orchard is sure to realize fair profit upon
his investment il the crop is anything like
full. Those good old reliable kinds the
SmOck, Wards Late, and Heath Cling,
and in some districts the Salway should
not be neglected in making up lists for new
orchard, and we believe every one is will.
ing TO acknowledge that the splendid
Crawford's Late viii pay well; but what
we intended to invite attention to in
this paper, was the fact that we must con-
tinue the experiment with this particular
class of peaches, and not run wild after
the early kinds exclusively. Seeds of the
later varieties win more frequently produce
late peaches, than those of earlier procliy-
tiles, and consequently these should be
used as the basis Of our experiments, Now
that bybridizatiOu is becoming better
understood and appreciated, we hope to
find our intelligent promologists testing
the theory in practical way, and we fully
believe that new and improved kinds may
be produced, that viii prove to be exceed.
ingly useful in prolOnging the fruit season.

BUDDING.

Almost al iafell;gsnt farmers know how
to gran, and large numbers employ that
knowledge in springtime to put a good
head on wild tree or TO change the char
acter Of ono to something more desirable.
But the spring is generally crowded with
work. Few get done what they desired
and intended to do; and among the put-off
things very likely Of all others viii be the
graAing job. Something Of this can be
made up at this season by budding, or
incubation as It is sometimes called It
does not find the same favor with farmers
As with nurserymen, because notime seems
to be gained over grating six months
hence; for the buds put in now do not
push into growth till the next spring sea
son. If gratis are put in next year they
grow Immediately and make stronger
growths and form good head much sooner
than buds put in at this season win. But
then there Is the question Of time. If one
waits for spring il may never be done.
This is comparatively leisure season,
and tree budded now is done with. It
win keep on growing and win certainly
beat the tree that never is done
Budding is so simple an operation and
has been over and over again described in
the papers that most persons who ara likely
to be benefited by this article know how
il is done. A piece of bark containing
leafstoek and the eye at its base is simply
put under the bark of the stock to be i'm
proved and which has been slit and Gifted"
or loosened by the back Of knife for the
purpose After the insertion the bud is
tied firmly in. Any one can understand
this, and only experiment win teach more.
But there Is one thing which all builders
do not understand and we win explain
why even some good hands fail in their |
work. The branch on which the bud is
to go must be thrifty, vigorous and in
every way healthy, or the buds win not |
atske." Failure in most eases comes from
this It does not make much difference
whether the branch operated on is more
than one year old, 50 that the bark sepa-
rates freely from the wood--as the builders
say, sruns freely it Is essential that
it should be in perfect health The bark
generally loosens freely at the end of sum-
mer, If in the condition we have described.
In regard to the bud, il must not be too
young. Failure generally comes from
this. There is far less chance Of failure
with very old buds than with young eyes,
though Of course all the buds must be Of
this seascnable growth.
Il is hardly necessary to say that in
budding, as in grating, like must be suited
20 like, and the nearer the bud is like its
stock the better win be its success. 1t is
not often that plants Of two dissimilar
families win grow together. The pear viii /
grow on the ounce, but this is rather an
exception. So closely allied things as the
apple and the pear viii not do very well,
and only at all with difficulty. German

TURSIPs AND Coax ToaErHER. The
Canada Farmer says "A West Chester
Co., N. y, farmer is in the habito sowing
yellow Aberdeen turnips among his corn
at the last passage of the eultivator, when
the plants arc about Eve 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 seed and harvesting, and corn being
already cut is not injured when the tarnips
are gathered in. From one to four Hmm
dred bushels Of turnips per acre have been
thus obtained without lessening the corn
crop. Weeds are not tolerated, and the
whole strength Of the land Is devoted, as
il should be, to useful crops.

A struggle for Appearance.

A st. Louis paper relates an instance
of the pride of child who struggled to
keep up appearances in way that was
touching to witness. The hopefulness
ofthe endeavor was made painfully man
ifest to the well meant action Of her
teacher, and the facts are these:
just before the last session of the pub
lie schools in that city, an incident took
place which, as an illustration is more
than touching, At one of the schools,
numbers of the pupils were in the habit
of bringing luncheon with them, which
at noon they ate together. Among these
who did not go home for dinner, the
teacher in particular room noticed
little girl who always sat looking visit
fully at her playmates when they went
out with their luncheon, but who never
brought any herself.
The child was always neatly but very
poorly clad, and one of the closest stu
dents in school hours. This odd action
of the child's lasted for some time, when
one day the teacher noticed that the lit
tie thing had apparently brought her
dinner with her. The noon hour came,
and the children took their lunch as us
ual and went out to eat it, the little girl
referred to alone remaining in the room,
with her dinner wrapped up in paper,
ON the desk before her. The teacher ad-
yanced to the child and asked her why
she didn't go out with the rest, at the
same time putting out her hand toward
the package on the desk. Quick as
thought, the little girl clasped her hand
over it and exclaimed, sobbing:
"Don't tonch it, teacher, and dom
tell, please It's only blocksp Hav
ing no dinner to bring, and too proud t.
reveal the poverty of her family, thu
child had carefully wrapped up mum
Der ofsmall blocks in paper, and brough
the package to present the appearance
of lunch. 1t is nothing-a mere ri
diculous incident in school life but
was sufficient to make wiser and olde
hearts than hers sad.

The Lords PRAYER.

| used to think the Lords Prayer was
a short prayer; but, as | live longer,
and see more of life, begin to believe
there is no such thing as getting through
it. If man, in praying that prayer,
were to be stopped at every word, until
he thoroughly prayed it, it would take
lifetime. "Our Father" there would
be wall hundred feet high in just
those two words to most men. If they
might say, Our Tyrant,' or " Our Mon-
arch" or even "Our Creator" they
could get along with it but "Our Faith
er. why, the man is almost saint who
can pray that. You read Thy will be
done," and you say to yourself, "Ohl
| can pray that and all the time your
mind goes round in immense circuits and
far-off distances. But God is continual
ly bringing the circuit nearer to you, till
he says, How is it about your temper
and your pride? How is it about your
business and your daily life ?" This is
revolutionary petition. 1t would make
any mans shop or store tumble to the
ground to utter it. Who can stand at
the end of the avenue, along which all
his pleasant thoughts and wishes are
blossoming, like flowers, and send these
terrible words, "Thy viii be done"
crushing down through it?
