The Pig.

Black or slate-colored pigs are freest
from skin diseases in hot climates. The
choice is practically between the Essex
and Berkshires for males, with which to
improve the native stock of hardy grub
bers of the root-or-die variety. Those
who have tried the former have been
delighted at first, but after a few years
began to recall with longing the lean
hams. and thin but solid fiavorous bacon
of the old race-horse breed. The trouble
with the Essex pigs, for the south, is that
they are not active enough. They
are of the eat-and-s,eep and sleep-and-
wake-to-eat kind, and their grades are,
of course, like them. The side fat is SUI
perb. and so is the leaf lard, and so far,
the breed is all that could he desired
/ but the hams and shoulders arc too fat
for profit. and the ham is not marbled
with fat like the Berkshires. These (the
Berks) are much more enterprising
more wide awake, less easily controlled
but good foragers.
With many Northern and Western
breeders, the Essex is moro profitable
pig then the Berkshire, because his nature
leads him to take little exercise, so tha
al he eats goes to flesh and fat. Res

In selecting corn for seed, it is often
the practice to merely choose large ears
for the general crop. 1t is suggested that
this is not the best method, for, while
this plant may be strong and vigorous and
bear large ears, the corn may have been
fertilized by pollen from feeble or stunt
ell plants near it, and the seed may re-
tain and repeat these adverse qualities
in spite of the vigor of the plant upon
which il grew. 1t said that a better
plan would be to plant some Of the seed
in asmall plot by Itself, at distance
from the main crop, and to give this
patch plenty of room and high culture.
When the tassels appear in the seedbed
every plant should be examined, and all
feeble stalks should be pulled out or cut
off below the tassel before it has an OPP
portunity to bloom BY the arrangement
both the plant on which the ears grow
and the pollen scattered from its own and
neighboring tassels, will be alike strong
and vigorous, and the seed will partake
of the strength of both its parents

A YEAR AGO,

A year ago we walked the woods,
A year ago to-day;
The lanes were white with blackthorn bloom
The hedges sweet with May.
We trod the happy woodland ways,
Where sunset lights between
The slender hazel-stems streamed clear.
And turncd to gold the green.
Thrushcs sang through the cool, green arch,
Where clouds Of wind flowers grew;
The beauty all was lost TO me,
For lack of love TO YOU.
And You, too, missed the peace which might
Have been, yet might not be,
From too much doubt and fear Of Fate.
And too much love OF me.
This year, Oh, lOyel no thing is changed;
As bright sunset glows;
Again We walk the wild wet woods,
Again the blue-bell blows.
But still our drifted spirits fail
Springs happiness To touch;
For now you do not care for me,
And love YOU too much.

A SAD STORY BRIFLY TOLD.

In rural district in the state of
New York in the year 1850 lived two
farmers, neighbors, about fifty years
of age. They had been schoOl-boys
together, and in many respects were
equals. Wherein there was any diff
erence between them, farmer Brad
ford was in all thing, excepting in
money-getting or mOney-holding, the
superior. Farmer Lockwood had by
some chance become in measure
awake to the fact that interest paying
at current rates was ruinous, and he
acted upon this knowledge, while
farmer Bradford pursued a more care
less course in this regard, although
he and his family were really more
industrious than farmer Lockwood,
and quite as economically inclined, but
above doing any mean thing.
On the first day Of April, lS60--gen-
eral settlement day with all country
ople.--farmer Bradford, who owned
a small farm worth about $4,000
(mortgaged for 81. l0O) purchased from
farmer Lockwood, for 800, a horse,
which had had some ailment, giving
$50 cash and his note for $50, in settle
ment.
The war soon broke out and crops
being small, and interest on the mort
gage very burdensome for year or
two, only small payments were made
upon the note. \ little later, when
the draft occurred, one of farmer
LOckWOod'S three sons was drafted,
and lacking patriotism, perhaps, in
duced more patriotic son of farmer
Bradford to go as a substitute, the
senior Lockwood paying the sum of
$34O--all but $40 Of which was at once
applied to reducing the mortgage up
OF the Bradford farm to $S00--farmer
Lockwood suggesting that the note
might stand. The young soldier who
left his home to defend his country
was mortally wounded on the battle
field Of Gettysburg, and HI, brother,
less than 2 years his senior, died about
the same time of fever, leaving the
almost heartbrOken father, then near
~ three score years OF age, as the only
support of the mother and three
daughters.
Farmer Bradford struggled bravely
on, but was hardly able to pay the
interest on the $500, still due on the
mortgage upon his farm. He. hOwev-
er managed to pay a few dollars each
year to his neighbor Lockwood (who
had become quite wealthy ON account
of the note OF so which was given in
1850 in part payment for the horse be-
fore mentioned and which died a few
years afterwards of the disease with
which he was really afflicted when the
purchase was made.
Last April Qo77) farmer Bradford
paid farmer Lockwood SIS, making
with previous payments during the
II years a total of $l00.50, and asked
for the so note. carelessly thinking
he had fully paid it with interest.
When he was rather haughtily told
that he still owed $70.34 he became
very angry and hot words passed be-
tween the neighborS.
The following statement indicates
the dates and the amount of the note
each year as carefully calculated by
farmer Lockwood, who added the in
