these were mostly freedmen, but in the
North farmers IONS. The number OF

Yes, clover for hogs Let them have
clover the year rOund-CiOver pastures
IN summer and clover hay in winter.
There has been a sentiment Of this kind
growing up gradually OF late in lows, M
well AZ else where, and this sentiment has
led to some experiment. Last autumn
! concluded to cut and cure Il lot OF
clover (second crop, while it was yet
too green for seed, for the special purpose

happiness of Gods creatures good to see
how they enjoy a feed of clover hay once
a day. They pick out heads, leaves,
and small stocks, until there is very little
Of the clover Ieit--nOthing, in fact, but
the cOarSest stems.
My notion is, hat hogs need more
"roughness" and not 50 much solid
gain, just "a other kinds of farm stock.
Think OF feeding II horse or COW exclu-
sively on corn and water n! winter, and
corr and water all hummer too, for that
matter, as many feed their hogs. Could
they be expected TO be healthy, breed
well, or nurse their young wellY Uuti!
we all yet well supplied with a%rtichOkes

II hogs to provide them with plenty OF
nicely cured clover for winter.
My saws are doing exceedingly well
this winter on their clover diet and about
two-thirds the usual feed of grain. For
brood sowa there can surely be nothing
better than Il rough and cooling diet,
instead Of a solid aud heating diet, such

MoZart's Last Moments.

There il something strikingIp beauti'

his death. "Iiis sweetest gong WAS the
last he sung the Requiem" He
had been employed upon this exquisite
piece for several weeks--his sOul a led
with inspirations OF the richest melody,
and already claiming kindred with i'm
mortality, After giving it its last touch,
and breathing into it that undying spirit
of song which was to c0nsecrate it
through all time ~ his cygnean strain"
he lelI into a gentle and quiet slumber.
At length the light footsteps OF his
daughter Emile awoke him. "Coms
hither," said he, "my Emilie-my task
is done-the Requiem is finished "SAy
not so, dear father" said the gentle girl,
interrupting him as tears stood in her
eyes; "you must be better--you look
better, for even now your cheek has a
glow upon it.. | am sure we will nurse
you well again-let me bring you some
thing refreshing" "Do not deceive
yourself, my love-" said the dying father;
this wasted form can never be restored
by human aid. From heavens mercy
alone do | look for aid in this my dying
hour. You spoke of refreshments, my
Emilie--take these my last notes, sit
dswn by my piano here, sing them with
the hymn Of thy sainted mother; let me
once more hear those tones that have
been my solaCement and delight"
Emile obeyed and with a voice n
riched with tenderCst emotion, sung the
following stanzas:
Esprit thy labor is DER
Thy term OF probation IL run,
Thy steps are now bound for the untrOdien shore,
And the race OF lmmortals begun.

Or the pleasuresO Of earth with regret.
