To FAsTEN A PIG IN WAGON OR
SLED.-When it is desired to carry pig
i'll wagon box, the animal may be secured
in the manner described by correspondent
in Kansas, as follows: Make loop in a
double rope, and put it around the throat
carry the rope over the head, and fastcn it
around the body behind tbo forc-legs, leav-
ing the two enGs free over the shoulders.
The pig being lifted into the wagon is held
down by fastening the ends of the rope in
any safe manner, SO that the pig can not
jump over the sides Of the box, and is COM
PEELED to stay in the middle. If the pig is
made to lie down, it can not rise when ias.
tened, and there is ne danger of it hurting
itself-American 4gricu'fmist

SMUT IN CoRN.-Smut is poisonous. ar
at least very injurious, and care should be
taken to prevent it being eaten with fodder.
1t is becoming very common in corn. 1t
might be well to pass through the corn field
with sharp knife and a basket, and cut off
all the punches of smut and smutty ears,
and carry them out where they may be
burned. AS one square inch of surface
may contain 1000, 900 spores of smut and
every spore is capable of producing smut
ty plant, it is important to destroy every
ball Of smut.

and even those who have differed from him
have had to respect the sincerity and

ready at all times to surrender public posi-.

all prospect Of preterment, before he would
yield in any respect the ground upon which
his solid convictions had placed him. That
is the reputation he sustains to-day. His
standing in his party, in society, and in the
nation is not accidental. 1t has been as
honestly earned as the honor it confcrs is
