What to DO with the Hogs.

All the probabilities now are that farm
crs will receive good prices for their hogs
the coming fall and winter. 1t is also
probable that the prices for corn will be
quite satisfactory. 1t is evident that tc
many farmers it is important, in moro
than usual degree, to receive az much
money as practicable from their crops
within the next few months. 1t is not at
all improbable that the prices in the early
part of the season will he as igl as will
DC reached at any time during the winter
1t is Il wcll-knOwn fact that flesh can be
put on hogs at less cost in moderate than,
in extremely cold weather 1t is coming
to be generally admitted that the weight
can be increased on young animals at a
less cost than on older ones.
Looking at all these facts and probabili
ties, it seems to us it will be wise to get
the hogs, at least the older ones, in condi
ton for market carly in the season. II
they have good clover pasture we would
not feed them any corn now, but as soon
as the new corn is fit for the purpose VIC
should feed literally, cutting the stalks
and feeding these with the corn. If, by
thus feeding, the hogs kept ovcr-as pigs
or brccding-sows fat, and marketed
by October, the probabilities are that more
profit will be made than by dcfcrring lib
eral feeding until frost has destroyed the
pasturage and then marketing the hogs in
January
After the first lot has been sold-if as
we expect nowhere should be good
prospect for wcll-sustained prices, we
should feed the early pigs-exccpt the
best, which should be reserved for breed
ing purposcs-with reference to selling
them during the winter.
AS a practical solution of the much-dis.
cusscd question whether it is best to fattcn
pigs before they are a year old or to keep
them over one winter and sell them when
from sixteen to twenty months old, we
would suggest that for very many farmers
both courses are advisable; that is, that it
is advisable to have some littcrs of pigs
come carly in the spring, fattening them
when from eight to ten months old and
keeping the later littcrs until the follow.

He is sure possessed, madam.-Tmeyth Night.
If, when you hear certain lady's name,
You feel your pulses give sudden start,
Or blush, as If some secret sense of shame
Had stirred, just then, the currents of your
heart;
And if that namc-to put it rather strong
IN euphony seems very much above
All other namcs-l think l can't be wrong
To venture the opinion, you're in love!
If, when at last, by some suspicious chance.
You meet the lady at a ball or play,
You shrink abashed before her modes,

And quite forget the words you meant tc

You wish upon that hand you were a

You scarcely speak to her you're think
But prattle gayly with the other girl

Showing the White of His Eve.

There is notion abroad that horse
who shows "thc white of the cyc' is in
clined to be vicious; and, like most other
notions Of the sort, this appears to have
had some truth for its foundation, though
the truth has been somewhat distorted in
the deductions. Animals in general show
only the transparent part of the eye; man
and the hog disclose the white of the eye.
Some-vcry fcw-horses show the white
ofthcir eyes naturally; many do so by a
habit of turning their eyes upon any per
son approaching them, and particularly
in their stalls; which glance askant nee
essarily disclOses more or less of the
white of the eye. Now this obliquc or
retrospective cast of the eye may certainly
bc-and mostly is, perhaps
with some thought or intention Of biting
or kicking; but, on the other hand, il
may be the effect of habit, of playful
disposition even, and so may not portcnd
any evil. We have met with many cases
of both descriptions, where vice was and
where vice was not present; but we can
not add we have encountered such ma.
jjority of the former description as to pro
nOuncc showing the white of the eyc' an
infallible Indication of vicious dispos..
ton.
While speaking on the subject of eyes
we may add that there is very great va
riety in eyes and in the expression given
by them; hence one reason for the inter
minable differences in the countenances
of animals. An overfull or exceeding
prominent eye has a sort of unnatural OK
preston about it which often turns out tC
amount to " foolishncss," and sometimes
such horses appear to be ncar-sightcd
Opposed to this we meet with the small
sunken, dark looking eye, which creates q
suspicion about temper, and particularly
when an expression Of what is called
sourness' is to be observed in it. W.
have seen several instances of viciousness
in horses with such eyes and therefore
are biased against them; at the same time
we know horses with such sour, ill-tcm
pered-looking eyes after having beer
cured of their vice turn out to be the very
best Of their kind.-PrairSe Farmer.

Value of Covered Manure.

AT various times we have pointed out to
our readers the profits resulting from COW
cring manure, instead of allowing it to
get soaked by the rains, or dried by the
sun, as is generally done. We have Civ
eli this advice from what We have actually
seen. When rough sheds have been built
to cover the manure heap the crops tertil-
lied by this pile have been increased in
productiveness sufficient to pay for the
shed-covering the first year. We have
never seen any exact figures of the pro-
portionatc value of covered and uncovered
manures that we remember until the fol
lowing, which we find by Lord Kincaid, a
Scotch landowner and farmer. They pre-
sent the best statement possible, we think,
of the advantages of the plan:
-Four acres of good soil were measured
two of them were MANFRED with ordinary
barn-yard manure and two with an equal
quantity of manure from the covered shed
The whole was planted with potatoes.
The products of each acre were as fol
lows:
Potatoes treated with barn-yard ID nurc
One acre produced 272 bushels.
One acre produced 292 bushels.
Potatoes manfred from the covered
sheds:
One acre produced 442 bushels.
One acre produced All bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat, when the crop was as follows:
Wheat on land treated with barn-yard
manure:
One acre produced II bushels, 10
pounds (of 81 pounds per bushcD.
One acre produced 42 bushels, SO
pounds (of 81 pounds per bushcD.
Wheat on land manurcd from covered
sheds
One acre produced IS bushels, 5 pounds
(of CT pounds per buSllcD.
Oncacrc prodrrcd53 bushels, 47pounds
(of 81 pounds per bushcD.
The straw also yielded onc-third moro
upon the land icrtilizcd with the manure
from the covered stalls than upon that to
which the ordinary manure was applied.
