FEEDING porn.

Pork is now lower than it has been
for thirty years, and the prospects for
those who have hogs is not agreeable
Yet it would not be wise to sacrifice
good herds on this account. Those who
have not, will find this good oppor-
tunity to weed out their stock and
replace it with a better quality of
animals in preparation for the time
which is certain 10 come, when pork
shall bear a profitable value The chief
profit from purebred stock consists in
its early maturity; and the fact that
a pig of well selected breed and pro
perly fe can be made fit for the barrel
at less than a yeer old. makes it of far
greater worth than one which requires
two years to arrived at a suitable con
dition. To keep only the best stock
should be the aim of every one who
raise animals for sale: and there is no
better time 10 begin TO improve ones
stock than when the value is low, and
it can be done at the least expense

4 LOVERS DREAM.

In vanished days said, "If God shall give
Tome OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES my path to
lie
Through ways of pleaSantncss-I then
may live
\ peaceful life, and peacefully my die:
And joy shall surely through these chan
nels flow,
If God shall bless me So"
But now say, "If God shall give me
thce!"
81 ends my prayer. If l at last may
bend
Before thee, loved one, who art more to
Than all that life holds dear, that hour
shall end
Al save the dearest joy that man may
know,
If God shall bless me so.
We walk through life in devious ways:
no light
Illumes the distant futures shadowy
mist,
But, like some phantom of tha lonely
night,
Come yearning thoughts my soul can
not resist,
/ long to share the joys my fancies know.
Kind Lord, oh, bless me so!

NEW METHOD OF PRESERVING
FRUITS.

A foreign chemist has published a
new method o. preserving fruit which
deserves trial on small scale, as it
is so simple. and yet it is deemed to be
perfect in the preservation of the pc
culiar and original flavor; "wash the
specimens clean after gathering, and
place in vessels.a fluid composed of
200 to 300 grains of sugar to one litre
of pure water and q grains to grains
of salicylic acid. The pots or bottles,
with their contents, are then closely
covered with common writing paper,
aud so kept in a moderate temperature.
as any excess of warmth wonld cause
too great an evaporation of the water.
In this way the professor has found by
experience that plums, cherries, ap-
ricots, peaches, grapes, strawberries,
etc can be preserved in good, sound
c,r1ifion for q. whole year, each fruit
retaining its original and peculiar
flavor as fine as when gathered"

DRUNK, / DECLARE,

There was we'll known physician in
a large city. who had allowed himself
to get into the habit of drinking too
much. Now, of all men in the word
next to ministers, doctors should be
most careful to keep perfectly sober
One day this doctor had been drinking
pretty freely. When hewent home hs
found on his slate q request for him to
come and see Mrs. Bone of his
patients. a rich and fashionable lady.
He to k his dinner, drank some moro
liquor, and then went to see the lady.
She WIS iu bed. He sat down by the
bedside, took out his watch, and put
ting the fingers of his right hand on the
ady's wrist, he began to count her
pulse. "One-two-three; then he got
confused and began again. Conceive
-three-four;;" confused and began
again. "One two - three-four-
five" but he could not go on. So he
put up his watch, and said to himself
in whisper, which be did not intend
the lady to hear, Drunk declared
Then he told the lady to keep her bed,
drink some hot lemonade to throw her
in a prespiration, and he would see her
again in the morning. In the evening
he received few lines from the lady,
written as follows:
''Dear Doctor-I am dreadfully
mortified to think you should have
found me in such q state when you
called this afternoon. Please accept
the inclosed fee for your trouba
"a twenty pound note)and pray do not,
for tie world say a word to anyone
about my condition"
The lady had been drinking, and
when the doctor whispered. Drunk,
l declare" meaning himself-she
thought he was saying it of her. The
doctor was too drunk to see what was
the matter with the patient, and the
patient was too drunk to see the doctor
was in the same state.

PRACTICAL COMMUNISM.

Yesterday afternoon Cherokee Bob
was squirting Tobacco juice all over the
floor of saloon and telling how cap
ital oppressed labor, when Bill FulIing
ton inquired:

/ hold, sir" said Bob, that We
must have an even distribution of pro:
pArty-yes sir, or Wen fight, sir!'
''Lend NE chew of tobacco" asked
Bill.
A box of fine cut wBs handed him.
He put it in bis pocket and was
walking away when Cherokee called
out:
BEG your pardon, but you are TAX
ing off my tobaccow
''S'll right-s'll right" replied Bill;
al was out and you had plenty. We
must even this business up, you know
and keep the box, and I'll Keep the

He was too big to lick and Cherokee
put the empty box in his pocket, and
refused to laugh with the crowd

gin to realize that I'm slightly damp;
and think it might be as well to put
on few dry clothes. You shall tell me
all about it at dinner, my child;;" and
gently touching her forehead with his
lips, he made his escape.
Meanwhile, though the rescued man
had given to the experienced eye of the
doctor the welcome promise oflife, there
was much still to do to win him back to
conscious existance. Still the resources
of skill and science were applied with
unremitting energy and after awhile
the watchers were rewarded by the pa
tient opening his eyes, and saying in a
feeble voice:
"Dick, dear Dick Where's Dick?
want to speak to Dick
What took place at that interview
between the two old friends, so long
severed, none know save themselves, but
when some hours later We gathered
round the Widespread board, Philip
Trefusis and his daughter sat on either
hand of our generous host.
And surely such dinner never was
chronicled. Pen and ink would fail me
to tell how the two ancient friends,
warmed into youth again under the
sunshine of love renewed, We'd with each
other who should best recall the memory
of youthful pranks, and genial recollec-
tons of happy boyish DAYS and
how Uncle Dick sitting with Edith's
little hand in his, AID stroking her
silken hair, told her what a gay young
dog her father was in those merry days;
and Sir Philip, not to be behind hand
recounted daring exploits and hair
breadth escapes of which Uncle Dick
had been the hero. And now Cousin
Howard seated on the other side of
Edith, artfully got possession of her dis
engaged hand; and how their respective
fathers cheerfully smiled approval. And
now, as all too soon the clock struck
twelve, Richard Polwhele stood up, and
hand in hand with his old friend, trOlled
out, in a deep, rich voice, the good old
song of "Auld Lang Syne:"
should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days Of lang syne?'
And how, when the song was ended,
dear old Parson Pentreath, always an
honored guest at this Christmas festival,
folded his hands, and with tears in his
happy eyes, said:
"For these and all His other mercies,
God give grateful hearts"
And with all our hearts we said:
"Amen."

ALWAYS 4 CHANCE.

1t is hardly necessary to remind re-
asonahIe men that if they wish to be
sad and sour, TO grumble and complain,
there is always a chance. Reasons for
being cast down and detected ARE as
plenty as blackberries in the hight OF
harvest. If one thing goes right, YOU
may be sure there is always som hing
else going wrong; and if one thing
is in order, something else is out OF

TABLE REFUSE FOR POULTRY.

First, proper feeding pail is an alb
solute necessity to successfully prepare
the refuse of the table and kitchen, to
make it proper food tor fowls. Get a
hard wood pail, or ask your grocer for
hardwood butter firkin shaped like a
pail. Cut board to fit into the chine
firmly on the whole bottom of the pail,
and thick enough to project an inch or
more beyond the ends of the slaves
Fasten it i'll place by few nails driven
through the staves into this false bot
tom, which may be Of pine, as it is only
to keep from bursting out the bottom
of the pail by chopping in it. If you
cannot get hardwood pail, put an
other false bottom of hard wood inside
of a pine pail, nicely fitted and secured
like the under one. Grind the edge of
common spade sharp, and you have
an admirable ehopping knife, and will
be surprised to see how quickly you
can chop fine all scraps and waste Of
every kind, cooked or raw vegetables,
chicken bones, every rything except beef,
pork or mutton bones; these save hy
themselves and put into a soup kettle,
with all pieces of raw meat, or cheap
from the market, and keep il on the
kitchen stove az much of the day as
you can Induce your ''better half to
let it remain. After boiling several
days some Of these large bones will
chop up fine with the other waste, and
can be used as fast as they become
soft. Chop up the waste each morn
ing adding meal and shorts enough
for a breakfast for the fiocks; scald
the whole with the soup from the stock
kettle, adding once each week one of
the following articles for each twenty
i've hen-: One teaspoonful pepper,
six onions, one half pint charcoal, one
teaspoouful pure vinegar, and two
teaspOonfuls sulphur, etc. The above
will produce breakfast that will make

ADVERTISING SPONGERS.

The practice of dead-head advertis-

gether too common. A dancing mas

lecturer, the reader, the singer, and
all such, appear to think that news
papers are made for the express pur
pose of publishing puffs, written by
themselves and with no reward. Last
week the manager of singing school
handed us copy" for a "local," that

Another thing. We rush to the de
terse of the PULPIT. 1t is perfecfi!
ridi,ulous that the pulpit has become
regular advertising agency, of th'
cheapest kind. That class who spong'
from the press, sponge also from tn
pulpit. Last Sunday, ar one OF ou
churches, the minister consumed a
least five minutes in reading notices
for one thing and another, and onl!
one of them pertained to service OF tn
church. Preacher and congregation
alike appeared disgusted with tn
miserable intrusion. People who wan
to make money by advertising hav'
40 business to ask for dead head mott
ces," and the press and pulpit los
dignity and usefulness by aeeommoda a
