Hazel Kirke will. be given at Portland Thea
tire next Monday and Tuesday, aud will draw
crowded audiences to the theatre. The play
itself is not SO wonderfully constructed, so full
of skillfu effects, nor is it witty or brilliant.

promptings that animate every honest heart;
moved by emotions that stir every feeling soul.
And beyond that, it is presented with great
skill by an excellent company. Monday night
the ladies will all be presented with beauti-
full souvenir, the same given to the Boston
ladies on the 450th representation OF the piece.

The Fruit Garden.

The advantages Of fruit garden
are many, aud all farmers should
have one. Now is a good time to
choose place and prepare 1t for
raising fruit of the smaller sorts
The soil should be well~drained and
rich. Strawberry plants may be
set out until the coming Of the
frosts, after which the soil OF the
beds should be covered with litter,
putting it slightly over the plants.
There is no great gain, as to Che
fruit, in planting Strawberries late;
but the soil is in better condition
now than in spring, and work is
not so pressing. No crop can be
expected the next season unless
potted plants are set. Two feet
between the rows will be the dis
lance most suitable for working a
small cuItiyator among the plants
Blackberry and Raspberry plants had
better be set out in the fall, as they
start growing so early in the spring
Blackberries should be6 to feet
apart in rows. and the RaspberrleS
about 4 by 4 feet. In picking the
Grapes for market it Is best to use
the grape scissors, which allow the
bunch to removed without handling
and defacing the bloom. The thin
skinned varieties, ike the Concord
will not keep long, but the tough
skinned kinds, as the Catawba,
Iona, and Diana, may be preserved
in good shape until the holidays.
To thus keep them the grapes must
be well ripened. picked with care
and lett in a cool room for a few
DAYS until the skin gets tough
Pack them afterwards in small
boxes g to 8 lbs.), putting the fruit
in from the bottom, and putting on
the cover (bottom), with some
pressure, and lacking fast Label
the other side, which is the one to
be opened. Keep in a dry and cool
Mace until sent to market.

swine Raising.

Pure air helps to make pure blood,
which, in the course OF nature,
builds up healthfnl bodies. Out
oi-dOor pigs would not show so
we'll at the fairs, and would proba
bly, be passed over by judges and
people who have been taught to
admire only the fat and helpless
things which get the prizes. Such
pigs are well adapted TO fill lard
kegs. whereas the standard of per-
lection should be pig which will
make the most ham with the least
waste of fat, the longest and deep
est sides, with the most lean meat !;
it should have bone enough to al
low 1t to stand up and help itself
TODD, and carry with it the evidence
of health and natural development
in all its parts. Pigs which run
ina range or pasture have good ap-
petites-the fresh air and exercise
give them this---hence they will eat
a great variety of food aud much
coarser than when confined in pens.
Nothing need go to waste on the
farm for lack of a market. They
will consume all the refuse fruit,
roots, pumpkins, and all kinds Of
vegetables, which will make them
grow. By extending the root patch
and planting the toddor corn thin
ner, so that nub Sins will form on
it, and by putting in sweet varl-

creased in proportion. A few
bushels of corn at the end Of the
season will finish off the pig. The
pig pasture will be ready the next
year for any crop, and tea times
the advantage, accrues to the farm
than if the pigs are confined in close
pens, for, as pigs are usually man.
aged on the farm, but little manure
is ever made from them.
