"A writer in the New York Tribune
gives this good advice in two words how
to cure an egg-eating hen-"eat her. "
-Broiled potatoes: Parboil large Po-
tatoes, peel and cut them into thick
slices. Broil the slices on a gridiron
over a clear fire until brown on both
sides. Serve on hot dish with pepper,
salt and butter.-Toledo Blade.
1t is stated that by spreading salt
on the ground under plum trees as far
out as the branches extend, good crop
is often secured, as it interferes with
the operations of the curculio. The same
application is good for bark lice.
The dirt-scraper can be profitably
used in making open bitches through
low lands. If properly managed the
ditch will have such sloping banks that
a wagon or reaper can pass over 1t.
The earth spread over adjacent land is
worth as manure all that the latter will
cost.
1t is now suggested that a few to-
bacco plants can be grown advanta-
geously among cabbages. In fact, farm
ers who have tried it insist that good
crop of cabbages can be grown in this
way, where not sound head has been
seen for two or three years. Chicago

ed by the Michigan Farmer as saying
he is satisfied it pays to pick Oft all
strawberry blossoms from new planta-

the largest possible crop the following
year."
To clean musty feathers proceed as
follows: Turn them into a barrel and
cover them with hot water; leave them
to soak for an hour covered with a
blanket to keep in the heat; in the mean
time make pailful of strong soap-suds;
pour off the water from the feathers and
put on fresh boiling water; add to it the
soap and 4 teacupful OF ammonia: stir
well for half an hour until the feathers are
well washed; then drain off the dirty
water and put in clean boiling water
and repeat; drain and spread the feath-
ers to dry upon sheet in an airy ROOM

BENEATH THE WILLOWS.

Beneath the willows stood my love.
And il was June;
And white beneath, and green above,
The little merry leaves did move
In rustling tune.
How fair she seemed, the while she dreamed
And did not stir.
Around us bummed the drowsy bees;
Above us waved the willow trees;
Oh, blest we were!
1.-The willow trees are happy trees"
My loved one said.
And we will plant them round our home"
j asked, "when the glad days are Gomez"
She bowed her head.
Again beneath the willows stood
My love and i;
And cold November swept the wood,
And Swallowed with dreamy mood
Were earth and sky.
A tiny grave lay at our feet
Alas, how small!
And on its frozen bosom beat
The drifting willow leaves and sleet-
So sad pail.
"Oh, mournful trees are willow trees
Ny loved one said;
And lower DER the little grave
The dropping branches seemed to wave,
And shroud the dead.

Summer Management Of Pigs,

Every farmer should make the best
use of his resources Grass is a cheap
food for pigs, and a most healthy and
profitable diet. Much of the profit on
pigs must come from a proper use OF
grass as summer food. Some have ex-
pressed very grave doubts whether pigs
can be fed at a profit in pen all their
lives, but we do not think there is any
doubt about it. For, if the best feeding
will not pay for the food given pigs,
then they must be considered unprofita-
BILE animals-a position wholly untena-
BILE, as it has been abundantly proved
that the pig is the best utilizer of food
on the farm. We fully believe in the
use of grass for pigs; and, if obliged to
keep pigs constantly in pen, would carry
the grass to them, purely as a matter of
health. but better health will make bet
ter thrift We know that pigs will pay
a profit when every pound of food from
the first to the last day of their lives is
charged at the market price. But this
requires full feeding, with due regard to
every precaution for health.
If these doubters mean that the pig
can not be fed, at a profit, wholly upon
concentrated food, we shall not dispute
the conclusion. But it is not difficult
to give pigs the benefit of grass or other
green food in pen.
We fully believe in the economy of
pasture for pigs in summer, and that
every one who feeds considerable num-
Der of pigs should always provide past
ure for them. Pasture may furnish a
large part of their food, and furnish it
cheaply; but grass should not be the ex-
elusive food, for, in that case, the
growth will be slow, although healthy
growth Much valuable time is lost
by feeding pigs sparingly in summer,
for this should be the most rapidly
growing season; and if they only
half grow through this most
favorable season, and the other
half is put on in the cold season
with grain, the profit is largely if not
entirely lost. One-half or one-third of the
grain fed to pigs upon pasture that is
required to produce the winter growth,
would add quite as much.
1t should be remembered that the
grass will give the food of support, be-
sides some food of production, and the
grain added will 60 wholly to production
or profit. Whereas, if this extra growth
is delayed till winter, it will take as
much extra food to keep up animal
heat without growth as it would to
have produced the extra growth in
warm weather.
1t is therefore, quite evident that pigs
should be pushed rapidly forward in
summer, when everything is favorable
for the most rapid and healthy growth.

Alderman Fuller, in the presence ofa
crowded court room. Tho audience
included number of clergymen
ana prominent church people,
VINO We're present as Wit
nesses, and the proceedings were
watched with keen interest owing to
the high standing of the ltigants. The
suit grew out of an alleged libelous art
icle, published in the October number
of q monthly periodical devoted TO the
cause OF temperance, and entitled,
me fonae Protector.p Rev. iona
than Edwards and William S. Jones
are editors of the periodical. The be-

entitled: Offering Strange Fire Be-
fore the Lord in which the conduct
OF a certain minister, who was not
named, but who was accused of assert
ing that he could not ascend his null
PIT TO preach n sermon without taking
from two TO four ounces of whisky to
brace him up for the work was fiercely
criticised.
Among other things the article said:
We feel positive that the Holy Spirit
will not dwell in the heart that is filled
with spirits of the still, and we can not
look upon the worship of such man
as other than the most feaful insult to
Cod IL also extolled the mercy and
1orbearance of the great Jehovah that
he does not visit such daring sacriege
with the most awful Judgment. and
prayed God to have mercy on the
churches that are cursed with such
pastors. There was much more to the
same effect.
The prosecutor testified that he had
been told by Rev. Lot Lake that the
article referred to him. Witness then
went to the Rev. Jonathan Edwards
and asked whether the article meant
him. Mr.. Edwards replied that he
did not know, but that the person
who thought it fitted him might nut
II on. The Rev. Owen Jones testified
that Pastor Edwards admitted to him
that the article meant the Rev. Mr..
Williams. Ex-Judge Ward was counsel
for the prosecution, and in the course
Of his speech said he hoped all the min

the case might be settled e. n. Will

churches. Phiiadelphid Times.

COMMERCIAL.

GAZETTE OFFICE, January IL, 1873.
The proceedings of the Eighteenth
Legislature promise TO be exceedingly
interesting to the commercial classes
of the state. Among the various sub
jects of legislation of "A civil

existing inequitable attachment law
is not the least conspicuous. A recent
special to the GAZETTE from Dallas,
stated that the merchants of that place
would probably memorabilia the legis-
lature 10 so amend the laws as TO de-
stroy the provision, which grants i'm
mense advantages 10 preferred

now constituted, attachments
take precedence in the order in which
they are filed, which is Il positive and
practical injustice 10 the innocent and
unsuspecting claimant. The system Is
obnoxious to both the debtor and
creditor class, and it Is altogether
likely that the influence brought
TO bear upon the legislature will be
productive of relief. IL is expensive to
the debtor in that they are compelled
10 employ agents 10 prevent other
claimants from securing an undee adj
vantage by first swooping down upon
the insolvent debtor, and a
a palpable injustice and

A Relic from Palestine.

A singular and interesting of archaic
philology has, says the London correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian, been
b ought under the notice of the Palestine
exploration fund. The relic consists of
pieces of skin containing portions OF the
book of Deuteronomy and the Command
ments in PhGnician characters which have
been recovered from Bedouin tribe located
on the eastern side of the Jordan. The
period to which the writing is to be referred
is presumably identical with that OF the
Moabite stone-that is, 800 B. q. The
documents are in slips, the skin being dark
and discolored, and the writing requiring to
be brought out with spirits of wine. They
have been examined by Mr.. Bond, the prin-
clpal Librarian of the British museum; DR..
Ginsberg, Mr.. Adds Wright, of Cambridge;
DR.. Horning, OF the manuscript department
of the British museum; DR.. Van Starland
and Mr.. Ernest Bridge, severally of the He
brew and Assyrian departments 1.-THE same
institution. and other gentlemen If their
genuineness can be established they will
tend considerably to modify several pass
ages OF Deuteronomy as at present received
in the Old Testament.
