Recently Mr.. Charles Hastings, living
in Sebewa, Michigan, while engaged in
logging, discovered at the side of
large ash stump a hollow piece of iron,
the end of which had been exposed
about two inches by the burning of the
leaves and rubbish around the stump.
Mr.. Hastings then dug down by the side
of the stump, and found it to be the
barrel of gun and that it was firmly
imbedded in the roots of the stump,
which had grown around it, and by dint
of considerable hard chopping cut the
gun out. In getting it out the barrel was
broken in two near the center, where it
had become very much rusted. The
only means of estimating the length of
time it had been there was by counting
the circles in the grain to the wood from
the outside of the gun, indicating that
at least one hundred and forty-four years
had rolled around since the gun had
been left at the tree, when it must have
been a very small sapling. The gun
barrel, to which portion of the stump
still adheres, is two feet longer than the
modern shotgun, is " eightsquare at the
breech, large, smooth bore, and resembles
an old-fashion French flint lock fowling
piece. Neither the lock nor any traces
of the stock had been found, though
careful search will be made for them.
Occupying horizontal position, about
sixteen inches below the surface of the
ground, and almost directly through the
center of the tree, with ends protruding
on either side, it is evident that it must
have dropped there, either before the
tree took root or while it was very small,
as it was within an inch and half of its
heart, and the growth of the tree shows
a century and half to have elapsed
since the tree began encircling the gun.

FARM AND HOME BREVITIES,

A New York farmer goes wild over
Guinea hens. He declares that each one
will keep an acre of potatoes clear of
bugs, and will answer every purpose of
barometer in predicting storm. He
also says that they will not scratch, and
lay more and better eggs than the COM
mon hen.
The belief that Swiss cheese is made
only on the Alps, from cows browsing
upon mountain grass and Alp roses alone,
is all mistake. Not one pound in fifty
is produced on the Alps. Morning and
evening the milk is brought to the cheese
factory (and there is one in almost every
village), where it passes examination, to
see if the delivery did not come in con-
tact with spring or river. If it is
found right, the cheese-maker enters a
credit on his book for so many pounds.
At the end of the year after the cheese
is sold, the milk dealer receives the
amount for all milk he has sold during
the year.
The introduction of the Dahlia into
Europe is said to have been due to the
culinary research of Lady Holland
Having eaten and enjoyed Palestine
soup" somewherein the south of Europe
and learning that one chief ingredient
was the Jerusalem Artichoke, she pro
cured a root of it, as she supposed, anc
sent it to her gardener at Holland House
AT first she was not q little disappointed

when beautiful flower appeared instead
of a succulent vegetable; but the value
of her acquisition began to be realized
when a London florist who came to see
it offered her thirty guineas for root.
The most common complaints of little
pigs are diarrhea and colds. The former
is caused by giving the SOW improper
food, or too sudden change of diet, or
by irregular feeding, or from want of
pure water and fresh air. To cure this,
as general rule, no medicine will be re-
quired. Change the food of the mother,
and let her go out into the air, but let
the little pigs remain quiet in the pen,
and see that they are warm and comfort
able. 1t is also important to keep the
pen clean and well ventilated. Scatter
some dry earth about the pen to absorb
the offensive gases. Scald thepig troughs
with boiling water, and make them sweet
and clean. Let this be done every day
Correspondent Belfast Journal: If a
loaded revolver were placed at my head
| and were given one minute in which
to name the most useful piece of four
legged furniture in the world, I should
unhesitatingly answer, "The cow" and
have forty seconds to spare. In speaking
of the COW l embrace also the OK and
the bull. The OK is used on farm in
| place of steam engine. He is as faith
full as a box of pills, and somewhat
slower than lightning. A man who has
driven an OK team all his life is selected
as bearer at funeral, as he never
gets ahead of the procession. The bull
is chiefly celebrated for his disposition
which is cut goring, and gathered il
quite full. He generally wears an ear
ring in his nose, and has curiosity t.
know how you are made inside.

IT is always interesting to know the
process by which well-known articles of
commerce are manufactured. Linseed
oil comes largely from Maine, and
paper of that State gives the details of
its production. In the "porgie facto-
ries the fish are cooked by steam in large
wooden tanks, and then placed under
powerful presses which extract the oil,
and the bones and feshy parts called
"chum used in the manufacture of
superphosphates. The oil is placed in
large tanks exposed to the sun for several
days, and then drawn off into casks and
is ready for the market. A small guam
tity of the oil is used to mix paints; but
the larger part of it finds market in
Europe, where it undergoes some mys-
terious refining process and is returned
to us under the name of inseed oil.

Two men of Newport, Vermont, en-
couraged by the high price of grain, re-
solved to 60 into the wheat business.
They accordingly, with commendable en-
terprise, procured span of horses and
a wagon and drove ten miles at the dead
of night to farmers barn, choosing
this hour SO as not to disturb the farmer.
By little perseverance and with the
assistance of crowbar they entered the
barn and procured nice wagon load of
wheat, and, to make the matter easier,
the wheat was all snugly stored away in
bags, which was very considerate on the
part of the owner, that is if he really
had the convenience of the wheat spec
ulators in his mind. But unfortunately
there was hole in one of the bags, and
unnoticed on account of the darkness of
the night trail of wheat followed the
wagon. The constable followed the
trail at daylight, and the arrest of the
wheat stealers followed shortly after
wards.

The editorial correspondent of the
Richmond (Va.) Christian Adrocate con-
tains these stories: The Pamunky re-
minded me of fish story. So l told it
to Brother Peterson. 1t ran this way:
A shark came up that river. A citizen
saw it, took sturgeon harpoon, went
out in a canoe, sent the steel barb into
the shark The shark darted. The cord
to the harpoon hung in the bow of the
boat, and that end of the canoe started
under the water. The man jumped to
the stern, and leaned back over the
rudder to keep the front from dipping.
The shark was doing his best, making
fisherman could not go forward to un-
hitch the cord, for the boat would go
right under, like a mole in plowed
"rare" back, like he was driving a
hearts house. His neighbors hailed him
from the banks, but he hadn't time to
talk. They went home and told their
wives, and wondered. The boatmen on
the river shouted at him as he skeeted
by. He was going too fast to answer,
The shark turned out of the Pamunky
1nVO Tie L OTk. SdpSlLeu III d river luTee
miles wide, and mad shark close by,
was an ugly thought. The man wished
that he had been from home the day the
shark came by his house, and was re-
gretful" generally. The shark made a
wide circle in the York, and returned mp
the Pamunky, and, nearly opposite the
