N 1878 an attachment for common plow
Il was invented by practical farmer, tha,
can in ten minutes be connected with any
ordinary plow, which changes it at once into
a complete sulky plow. 1t consists Of one
large wheel which runs upon the land side, a
smaller one under the beam, and another
that runs IN the furrow behind the plow,
These wheels carry the weight Of the plow,
entirely removing the friction upon the bot.
tom and land side, one of which, together
with the upright beam, regulates the width
and depth of the furrow. II is provided with
an easy seat, enabling the driver to have at
all times both his pillow and team under his
control. Once set, its work is not easily
changed. The relieving of the pillow from the
side and bottom friction results in reducing
the draught over 20 per cent; even when
carrying the driver the draught ia full twenty
per cent. less than that Of the walking plow
with the driver trudging in the furrow behind.
1t can be attached with equal ease to n right
or leit'hand plow, and when properly attach.
ed, any one, male or female, who is old
enough TO manage team, can perform as
good work as the most skillful plowman can
10 without It, A saving Of 10 per cent. OF the
draught is guaranteed.
IL IS simple in construction, durable, easily
attached to the plow, and in every way per.
iecily adjustable. II is attached by means OF
clamps and bolts, without cutting or boring
the beam, and can be placed in position for
a days or weeks plowing in ten minutes by
any one with sense enough to handle com.
mon walking plow. In going to or leaving
The field, the plow is raised by lever, and
the driver can ride as easily as on any OF the
expensive sulky plows. Its cost is so low
that any one having two or more acres TO
piow, cannot afford TO be without one.

Raising Pigs.

The National Live Stock journal gives
the following valuable information on the
subject Of raising pigs The most impor.
tant for the swine breeder is to get the
greatest possible growth from his suripp
pigs. There is no period in the life of hos
when so great a return for the food con-
sumed ls possible, as during the first six
months, and it is here that the advantages
OF sklllful feeding arc apparent. Unless
great care be taken, the growth of the MIC
viii be seriously checked when il is from
three to Eve weeks old. The milk Of the
dam, which was ample to promote rapid
growth ia the litter Of pigs during the
hrst two or three weeks, is not sufficient TO
answer the demands of the same litter as
they grow older; hence the pigs should
early be taught to look elsewhere for a
part OF their sustenance. This is an easy

II this is attended to, there will be no
"stunting Of the pigs at this critical pc
riod, and their growth will be uniform aud

BILE adjunct, and helps wonderfully. The
true secret Of successful pork making is to
push the pig from the date Of birth until
i is big enough for market; and the ear
lisr the age at which this point can be
reached, the greater is the return for the
food consumed. A slop made Of corn aud
oats, ground in about equal parts, with a
little oil-meal added, makes the best food

flow Of milk; and this, with clover pasture

Cleaning ohimneys.

Foul ehilnneys are at this season a
source Of great danger; SCOT is very in-
aammable, mere spark will set it on FIRE.
No one knows the condition of his chin
neys, what cracks there may be in the
brickwork, nor what timber there may be
near those openings through which the FIRE
may penetrate. Hence il is an indispensa-
ble caution for every householder to see
that the chimneys are swept down, or up, at
this season. A chimney may be swept
from the bottom by means Of brush made
on the end of an elastic pole or rattan
cane. The brush may be made Of mum.
Der of goose or turkey-quills, or splints Of
hickory or ash, or even small twigs Of
trees fastened tightly between two round
pieces of thin board or sheet,irou. This
brush is fixed to the end Of long, slen-
der, pole, or rattan, aud is thrust up the
chimney from the fireplace. A very
light brush and pole only are needed as
the least touch is sufficient to bring down
all the SCOT and dust that may be ndher.

the slopes of it. When the chimney has
been swept for the length of one pole, a
one second is Apliced to the first, and this
is repeated until the whole of the Hue is
cleaned. To prevent the entrance of the
dust into the room, any more than can be
avoided, cloth Of some kind should be
fastened over the fireplace to con6ne it in
the chimney, Tho sheet may be held upon
the manllepice by placing sad-irons upon
it, and tho workman small boy is the
best for this purpose-may be covered by
the sheet, having the nose and mouth pro.
tected by wetted handkerchief tied over
them. This method, however, should only
be used when it is not possible to get al
the chimney from the top Of the house
When this can be done, the work is much
less disagreeable. 1t will be found best il
this case to get the brush to the bottom
before sweeping, and then work upwards

The Belgian system of towage is soon
to be tried on the Erie Canal. Ten steam
ers are nearly finished, aud this week 100
miles Of cable, extending from Buffalo
eastward, win be in complete working
order, Two wire cables, each one inch in
diameter, are laid along the bottom Of the
canal, FROM lock to lock. The steam tow
boat has clipdrum, or grooved driving
wheel, with suitable guiding aud tighten
ing Pulleys placed upon one side Of the
boat, above the water line. The process
Of towing is performed by lifting the cable
from the bottom Of the canal By means Of
grapple, aud placing Il over the clip-drum.
This drum Is thea put In motion (turned)

cable 70 pass over II without slipping, aud

The Manufacture Of Slate Pencils.

The process Of making slate pencils is
thus described by the american Stationer:
Broken slate from the quarries is put in a
mortar run by steam, aud pounded into
small PARTICLES. Thence it goes into the
hopper Of a mill, which runs into "bolt-
ing machine" where It is "bolted," the
fine, almost impalpable, -four that results
being taken to mixing tub, where a small
quantity Of steatite -four, similarly manu-
facturcd, is added, together with other
materials, the whole being made into stiff
dough. This dough is kncadcd thoroughly
by passing it several times between iron
rollers. Thence it is conveyed TO table,
where it is made into "charges is,
short cylinders, four or FIVE inches thick
and containing some eight or twelve pounds
each.
-Four Of these are placed in strong
iron chamber or "rctort," with changea-
BILE nozzle SO as to regulate the size Of the
pencil, and subjected to tremendous hy-
draulic pressure, under which the compo-
sition is pushed through the nozzle in a
long cord, like slender snake sliding out
Of hole, and passes over a sloping table,
slit at right angles with the cords to give
passage to knife which cuts them into
lengths. They are then laid on boards to
dry, and after few hours are removed to
sheets Of corrugated zinc, the corrugations
serving to prevent the pencils from warp
ing during the process of baking, to which
they are next subjected in kiln, in which
superheated steam IL introduced in pipes,
the temperature being regulated according
to the requirements of the article exposed
10 its influence. From kiln the articles
go to the finishing aud packing room,
where the ends are thrust for n second
under rapidly revolving emery wheels, and
withdrawn neatly and smoothly pointed
ready for use.
