They C0nldn,t be Caught.

Chambers Journal recalls an anec-
dOte which il related of n certain Edin-
burgh professor of natural history who
was engaged in delivering course of
lectures ON geology, but which had n re-
suit different from what was anticipated.
One day chosen band of his students
acquired possession Of brickbat, which
they painted variety of specious hues,
and placed among the other fossils and
rocks upon which their master was going
to discourse. The professor illustrated
his lecture by reference to the specimens
before him on tho table, saying, for ex-
ample, as he went on, "Thas is n piece
of volcanic trap rock" or "This is a
piece of granite" At length he came to
the mysterious stranger with the gaudy
livery, and after taking it up in his
hands and examining it attentively for a
few minutes, proceeded, "And gentle
men, this is, l am sorry to say, piece OF
foolishness." A similar story was told
of an American professor whose special.
ty was entomology. Some of his stu.
dents, wishing to test his knowledge,
prepared bug with great care, making
It up of tho wings, legs, etc, OF thu
different insects. Carrying it to TIN
professor they said: &" Professor, here i
q strange specimen that we have found
can you classify itp" The professo
studied it few moments and then sai,
quietly: Gentleman, this il hun

Ringing llOgss

This ought never to he done. When
II hog begins to root it is proved that
there is something that he needs that
il not furnished in his feed. Hogs will
eat up all the pasture or grass grown
and then root out the roots of the grass
and grain and eat that. They some
times root the ground all over to find
worms, decaycd roots and stones to eat.
They should be fed soft stones and peb-
bles, and sulphur Or slack coal. There
may be policy in putting in the nose of u
steer one wishes to fatten long section
Of barbed wire, that gals him whenever
he tries to cat, but don't punish the hog
thus. III you have these items of torture
in Your hogs noses and they don't eat
enough and fatten fast enough to suit,
take them ont. Ii they have eaten the
pasture all off, turn them off till it grows.
Don't omit giving your hogs doses of
arsenic. IL destroys worms, etc, that
inaict the hogs. You need not fear the
arsenic, ~ You cannot poison hog to
death. r. IL Couch.

"TaStcd Dretful Oueer.o

We have heard of people curing Others
of strong drink by putting an cmetic
into their whisky bottles. The follow
ing illustrates tho wedding manners of
seventy years ago, and the simplicity of
a green young benedict:
A minister of Newburyport was once
called up, after he had gone to bed, to
marry Il couple. The hour was late, and
the minister's wife did not witness the
ceremony, but gave her husband partic-
ular directions for the entertainment of
tho wedding guests.
Don't forget to pass the cake and
wine, doctor" said she. "The cake is
in the corner cupboard, and You'll find
the wine on the third right-hand shelf in
the sidc-b0ard.
The doctor promised obedience, put
on his clothes, and went down to per-
form tho ceremony. Returning u half
hour later he found his horse sitting up
in bed, with an anxious expression on
her face.
"Doctor," she cried, "did You give
them any wine?"
Certainly. my dear, just as you told
me-"
"Not from the decanter on the third
shelf of the side-boaId ?"
"That is exactly where you directed
me to find it, wife"
"Dear! dear! Did they drink much Of
it,"
"Why, yes; they emptied their
glasses.
"What shall we do? Doctor, L made
u mistake-it was ipecac VINE you gave
them. Oh, how sick they must be. Do,
dear, put on your cloak and go right af-
ter them; they can't have got far"
The doctor found the bridal party at
the end of the next street. "What
made you drink the wiue?" he asked.
Couldn't you tell by the taste that
there was something wrong about it?"
The bridegroom answered, between
his aualms, "She whispered to me that
it tasted dretful queer, but I told her
it was because we were getting mar
ried"

CulliYalinK Tobacco.

As tobacco is native of q tropical
climate, and as quick growth is essential
to produce good quality of leaf, we
should push the growth Of the young
tobacco plants as much ~ possible after
they have been transplanted into the
fields. Frequent stirring of the soil has
much to do with the growth of tobacco,
because it prevents the surface of the
soil from becoming hard or baked, and
lessecs the danger of injury from drought
Indeed, it has been said by competent
authority that there is no better remedy
for drought than to keep the surface o.
the soil mellow about growing plants
the fine mellow soil acting Us mulch
AS soon as the plants have commenced
growing, therefore, the cultivation should
begin, and it should be continued az long
as the work can be done without injur.
ing the leaves.
1t is customary here to give the tobac-
co two hoeings. The first Is performed
while the plants are small, or rs soon az
they have commenced to grow nicely
and consists in taking away n thin layer
of the surface soil between and around
the plants, and substituting mellow sol
from between the rows. The seconG
hoeing is done about two weeks later.
AS this hocing is usually performed, the
work il very laborious and costly. The
plants are hillcd up considerably witt
the hoe, and all grass and weeds are dc.
stroyed. It is doubtful to MY MIND
whether this killing Is beneficial to young
plants. I have experimental OH it and
failed to find it of noticeable value. Ii
Is important, however, that the soil be.
tween the plants should be made mellow.
Some TANNERS do not seem 10 understand
the Importance Of cultivating tobacco
and other crops, except rs n rapid way..oi
destroying weeds. With such farmers
weeds are positive benefit, for without
them their crops would not receive the
cultivation they necd.-Country dcnttc"

when the elephant wouldn't allow any

him up tenderly with his trunk tried to
put him ON his tusks, but finding he was

THE PATH Aonoss THE FIELDS.
By REV. EDWARD 4. RAND.

How sharp the spires upon the hill!
They rise against the sunset say
lake nasts Of ships, that sailing past
A sea Of flame, now anchored lie.
But 10 pilgrim In the path,
That dimly traced along the ground,
Through orchards, meadow, pastures bare,
Winds upward 10 the hilltop town.
All, what IN life save Just path,
A hasty walk for only one,
And childhood, manhood, age, arc fields
Between us and the setting SUM-
The toiIing traveller gains the hill,
He weary walks the village through;
And now he seems amid the clouds,
An II TO heaven an angel hewl
O bless the life that holy here
Beyond tho ridge Of death has passed,
A shaded footpath now, but merged
In everlasting light at last.

will soon DO able TO spread evenly. DO
not put off spreading until there is a
hard crust formed on the surface of each
pile. The time the piles require to Stake
will depend on the condition OF the
weather, or they will slake much sooner
in wet than in dry weather. 1t usually
takes two to six days for the lime to Stake
