A Puzzled Witness.


They were trying horse case" IN court,
the other day and the lawyer was question
ing a witness in reference to the animals
habits and disposition. Have you ever
driven her ?" was asked. 81 have" was
the reply. "Was there any one with you at
the time }" was the next question. There
was lady with me" the witness answered,
and he blushed little. Was she a good
driver D." was the next question, the lawyer
referring TO the animal, but the witness I'M
derstandng that he meant the lady. She
was" he replied. WAS she gentle and
kind =" asked the legal limb, and the reply
was in the affirmative, though the witness,
still thinking Of the lady, looked little sur
prised. "She didn't kick ?" was the next
interrogation and decisive No was the
answer. She didn't rear up, or kick over
the traces, or put her hind feet through the
dashboard or try TO run away, or act ugly,
or the witness was boiling over with in
dignation by this time, and interrupted the
lawyer with ado you mean the horse or the
lady ?" IL mean the mare we're talking
about Numbered the counsel ooh y
was the response, 4" ! thought you meant the

TnE MANURE PILE.-Don't neglect the

They always root into the pile where it is
hottest, and they cool it OF. They also pre-
vent fermentation by treading it solid, and
they add much 10 it themselves. Save the
liquid manure, and il there is no cellar UNI

new it as often as it is saturated. The

The strong argument for the truth Of
Christianity is the true Christian; the man
filed with the spirit of Christ. The best
proof of Christ's resurrection is a living
church, which itself is walking in new life,
and drawing life from Him who hath over
come death. Before such arguments, an.
Client Rome herself, the mightiest empire of
the world, and the most hostile TO Christian
ity, could not stand.

THAT TuRNIr.-ln my boyhood was one
day, with several of my mates, playing near
where an aged man was engaged in cutting
the tops from large heap Of turnips. lie
said there was one turnip III the pile that he
wanted to find and furnishing us with o
knife We all joined in eager pursuit When
ever we found turnip Of peculiar shape, or
unusually large, We would inquire if that
was not the one. NO" he would say, "but
If we keep on we shall find it soon" We
kept on, each one ambitious to be the lucky
finder The heap rapidly became beautifully
less, and we correspondingly excited when at
length the old man seized upon the last sur
viyor, and holding it up, said, That's the
one" We then saw where the laugh came
in but there was not much of laugh after
all. We felt Lhal we had been sold.

LAMENEss in hogs is caused sometimes by
the large pores in the back part Of the legs
getting clogged. They are alittle above the
knuckles in the back part of the legs. Wash
the lame legs with soap and luke-warm water

pores open, and when the pores are washed

there would not be nearly enough plantfood
in the soil to enable them to become full ears.
With most farmers the way to produce
better corn crops is 10 have richer and better
titled corn fields. As vet. even our poorest
corn rarely has chance TO show what it can
do i'm the way of produciivcness: and the
case is not To be bet,ered. but is rather made
worse. by planting a sort that sets several
ears on stalk. The first steps are to make
the land richer and tin IL better. and then it
will he time to begin the search after more
productive kind Of corn.
As matter Of fact the branching corn"
was swindnng fraud, the ears upon the
stalks exhibited at the fairs. and illustrated
in the papers, having been slilfully dowcned
and glued on. But there is really great
difference in different varieties Of corn in
the matter Of Welding a greater or less mum.
Der Of ears upon a stalk. Many of the So
called pop-coms" do set and perfect three.
four or five Of their small and smal-ker-
nelled ears upon a stalk, but the Weld in
bushels is no greater than with larger cared
corn, that gives but a single ear to each stalk.
The large-eared southern and western
corns very rarely produce more than a single
ear to plant The twelve-rowed corn of
New England and New York, rs usually
we come to the eight-rowed kind. we are APP
preaching the popcorns. and frequently find
stalks with two or three ears.
II is with our corn as it is with our cows
So long as we do not by skinfu care and
feeding, develop fully the milking qualities
Of our common stock, we are not qualified
for, and have no business to attempt dealing
with the improved breeds And so long as
we do not give our common. single-eared
corn chance to do It's best. by proper en-
riching end good culture, we shall only meet
with disappointment in sending hither and
yon for better seed
But if we have. either by nature or art. a
superabundantly fertile soil, and are pre-
pared and determined to give il thorough

for two and three cared varieties to plant.
Such varieties are produced with more ease
than they are preserved. The tendency

iD. gives us in almost every corn field some
stalks with more than one good ear. Start
ing from these, we may with high culture
and continued selection make the character

and selection of seed Is continued. Even the
large southern corn has in this way had
its single earring changed TO double aud
treble caring and the largest crop Of corn
on record, over two hundred bushels (shelled)
TO the acre, was obtained in South Carolina.
Besides selection and high culture, other
measures may be taken that will assist in
developing two or three cared variety Of

the pollen falling from the male flowers, or

plets enjoyment of his repast, and he is,
for time, at peace with the world.
He takes the long strings on his fork,
and gathers them into his mouth with q
gusto aud proficiency that is only
sucks. But when you once eat of mac
car0ni as it is prepared in.Italy, you find
1t like the Turkish c0ffee-something the
soul delights in. Why don't we have
maccaroni cooked the same way7 We
have an insensate way of tumbiing a
handful into basin OF soup, which
comes out pasty stuff, good for nothing.
