Raising Articles for Hogs.

Select field that you do not in
tend to use for any other purpose,
for, when once planted it is difficult
to get artichokes out of the land. 1t
will produce plants from seed left in
the ground. Ii it were turned to
pasture of course the plants would
soon die out; but it is better to
fence off a portion, plow it up and
plant it in artichokes, and every fall
let the hogs into the artichok lot to
feast upon the tubers. Late in the
spring plow and harrow the lot, keep
the hogs out till fall and there will
be crop of artichokes again to feed
the hogs the following winter. If
before frost the stalks are cut, cured
and stacked up, they will furnish ex-
cellent forage for horses, cattle and
sheep. They can be dug like pota-
Toes and fed to hogs cooked, which is
an improvement. Plant in rows
three feet apart, and fifteen inches
apart in the row, and run a cultiva-
tor between the rows few times in
the spring to destroy the weeds.

A Wrong System.

1t is no sign of gentility to be ut-
terly Indifferent to expenses. Many
people think it quite "the correct
thing to know nothing of the prices
of common articles. Such ignorance
is supposed TO suggest the idea of
vast wealth. But the facts are, that
it suggests quite different train of
ideas. The truly refined and high
bred, with abundant resources at
command, know tlat it advertises
great ignorance OF the world, very
limited education, and even less CONS
mon sense. This sort of display
goes handein- hand with vnlgarity,
and stamps its possessor in a way
that is known and read Of all men,"
People possessed of wealth, which
is not founded upon shifting sand"
are usually most exact and sys-
tematic in all their money affairs.
Ladies Of wealth and good breeding
see well to the ways Of their houses
holds, and are strict in their domes-
tic management, that no waste shall
be allowed. AS rule, the poor are
more wasteful than the rich-one rea-
son why they remain poor.
When a young couple, with their
way to make in the world, begin
housekeeping in style that is only
suitable in people of established
wealth, they do not command the
respect they wish, in places where
their reputation is of the greatest
account to them. Business men,
where confidence is a young mans
best capital, will not trust him half
as readily as if he had "begun small"
If there is anything that makes
home uncomfortable, it is the con,
tinued consciousness that one is liv,
ing beyond ones means, and that
day of reckoning is sure to come.
Yet the calls for expenditure are in-
cessant, and each keeps on buying,
with no calculation how matters are
coming out, until the final crash set
ties the matter for them. If you
wish to get true comfort out OF your
income, and command the respect
of those about you, learn to keep
your accounts accurately, and spend
your money with discretion.

Words OF Wisdom.

Everything great is not always

pleasure than their possessor is
pleased to lend them.
Honors soften fatigue. 1t is cas-
ier riding in q gilded and EN- bossed
saddler. Atlas, while he sustains the
woald upon his shoulders, is himself
sustained by the admiration which
his feet excites.

Hugh Cough, of Boroughbridge,
was rough soldier on a furlough,
but man of doughty deeds in war,
though before he fought for this
country, he was a thorough dough-

ing been hcughed in an engage
ment with the enemy, Hugh was
taken prisoner, and, l ought to add,
was kept on short enough clough
of food, and suffered from drought
as well as from hunger. Having,
on his return home, drunk too large
q draught OF usquebaugh, be became
intoxicated, and was laughing,
coughing and hiccoughing by a

ran through and drained slough
that was close to a Tough in the
neighborhood.

A Good Wife.

The good wife is none of your
dainty danes who loves to appear in
a variety of suits, every day new /;
as if gown, like stratagem in war,
were TO be used but once. But our
good wife sets up sail, according to
the keel of her husbands estate, and
if of high patronage, she doth not so
remember what she was by birth,
that she forgets what she is by
match.

Saddle Calls.

Calls should be washed with cas-
tile soap aud warm water, and then
with solution of six grains of cop
peras to one tablespoonful of water.
This will harden the surface, and
help to restore the growth Of the
skin. White hairs growing upon
the healed spots cannot be prevented.
IF the saddle is lined with hard
finished, smooth, raw hide, and pro-
perly fitted to the horses back, there
should be no gnlls. Flannel or
woolen cloth used as lining is bad.

that seemeth good to man, but the
end thereof is death.

have been completed. The pulpit now
faces the entrance, which is in the west
end, instead of the south side, as for
merly, and two thirds of the gallery
has been removed, quite improving the
acoustic properties OF the building. The
improvements cost the congregation
ahout forty dollars in cash,in addition to
the gratuitous labor furnished by the
members and friends of tie church.
