One by one the sands are flowing.
One by one the moments fall
some are coming, some are going
DO not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee.
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Lei no iuture dreams elate thee
Learn thOu first what thou can teach.
One by one bright gins from Heayen)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee
DO not fear an armed band:
One will fade as others greet thee.
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow,
See how small each moments pain.
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
DO not linger with regretting,
Or for passions hours despond,
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but, one by one
Take them. lest tue chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage DC done.

better development of frame and muscle
than when corn is fed to hogs exclusively.
It is best to push hogs for growth by
giving . variety of food rather than At
tempting to keep them fat Build the
frame first and lay on the fat afterward.
AN Ohio man has invented q cheap,
universal coupling, intended for use on
farm machines run by horsepower. The
mould for the ball or central part is first
made. with four chills, to form the holes
in the ball. A sand-core is inserted to
make it hollow, serve as an oil reservoir
and make the joints selflubricating. Af
ter the ball ia cast the holes are washed
with black lead, and placed in a mould
containing the impression of the two
forks. The iron is poured and the joint
is thus made complete by two simple
operations, which are inexpensive.
Gloxinias are beautiful group of plants,
with large fox-glOve-shaped flowers of an
infinite variety Of tints, and produced in
great profusion from the base of deep,
rich-green, velvety foliage. They flower
all the summer, and are the finest orna-
ments of the greenhouse from June to
September. The bulbs may be potted
in March, and when done blooming may
be placed away during winter in any
warm place till the season of growth
commences, keeping them quite dry.
A LoAMY soil that is neither so light
as sandy nor so tenacious as clay soil
is, as rule, best adapted to fruit orchards.
What are known az calcareous loans are
also priced by the fruit-growers; so are
the most lands in limestone districts.
Fruit trees make rank growth in allu-
vial soils, but, generally speaking, they
are neither SO hardy nor so fruitful as are
trees in soil containing more sand, clay or
gravel, and less vegetable mould. The
fruit is not so high-favored as if from
loamy soil. a gravelly soil is not suited
to fruit trees, and must be mixed with
clay, muck, peat and the like to insure
any success.
PETER HENDERSON gave to the recent
nurserymen's meeting, at Dayton, an ac-
count of his mode of raising strawberries
in pots for planting out, by which he has
grown over an acre of this fruit alterna-
ted with vegetables AS soon as the
plants cease bearing and the beds are well
fOrked up, the runners at once commence
forming early in July. Small pots, about
two and a half inches in diameter, are
flied with soil and sunk to level with
the surface. The strawberry layer is then
placed on the pot and held there with
small stone-the stone holding the plant
to its place and marking the spot The
pots will be filed with the roots in ten or
twelve days, when the connection with
the parent plant is cut; the pots are
taken up and all placed close together,
and shaded and watered for few days
before setting out Not one plant in
thousand need fail by this treatment. A
good workman, after some experience,
will layer two thousand in day. A
good crop is thus obtained in less than
year from planting, in connection with
vegetables.

PASTURE FOR HOGS.

EOR hOeTb.
Farmers in the great hog-producing sec
tions of this country are paying more at
tentiOn to pasture for hogs now than here
tofore. One who has given the subject no
little study, and tried various experiments
in that behalf says that there is no ques-
tiOn about green oats and peas being a
most appropriate food for pigs, and that
it comes at the very season when pasture
is apt to be short. Corn being the almost
universal fattening food for hogs in the
West after cold weather arrives, it is very
important that the summer food of pigs
should be more nitrogenOus and better
adapted TO the development of muscle and
bone than corn. The pea is very rich In
muscle and BODYBUILDING elements, and
oats are superior TO corn in this respect
The oats, also, assist in holding up the pea
vine, so as TO prevent early lodging, and
thus cause it to retain it's sueculence Ion
ger. The crop should be sown in the pro-
portion of two bushels of peas and one Of
oats per acre, and well covered. The drill
puts them in best The united crop should
produce from 40 TO 90 bushels of grain to
the acre. Now the grain is only part of
the crop. The succulent pea vine Is ad-
mirable for food for pigs, and they should
be turned In when the pea Is just passing
out of the milk. They will then devour
the whole plant, and it contains As much
nutriment as when fully ripe. The suocu-
lent stalk contains from 40 10 SO per cent
as much nutriment as the grain. A good
crop ought to produce a growth in live
weight on hogs of 500 TO 700 pounds per
acre. We have never found anything
equal to red clover as a pasture for hogs

The Grand Army Organization

The Grand Army of the Republic
isan association composed exclusive.
ly of men who served in the Union
army during the war between the
States. No one is eligible to mem.
bership who has at any time borne
arms against the United States gov
eminent. The objects of the asso.
citation are to preserve fraternal re-
lations, to protect comrades in sick
ness, age, or misfortune, to care for
widows and orphans of soldiers and
to promote loyal allegiance to the
United States. At first one Of the
declared objects was to secure the
rights of Union veterans by every
moral, social, and political means
within the control OF the organiza-
ton. but this has been stricken out
as too partisan. The first Post was
formed in Illinois by DR.. B F. Ste.
phenson, now deceased, in 1866.
Through his exertions Posts were
formed in other States, and short
while afterwards the national or
ganization or encampment, as it is
Styled, was formed with representa-
tives from ten States and the Dis
trict of Columbia. From this be.
ginning the organization very rap
idly grew and Posts and Depart.
ments were formed all over the
States which had supplied soldiers
to the Union army. The different
commanders-in chief have been to
date as follows: B. F. Stephenson,
