Petrifed Wood.

The petritied wood which is so
abundant in the Territories of Arizona,
Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain
regions, is rapidly becoming utilized
by the practical American. In San
Francisco there is now Il factory for
cutting and polishing these petritics-
tons into mantel-pieces, tiles, tablets,
and other architectural parts for which
marble or slate is commonly used.
Petrified wood is said to be susceptible
of a finer polish than marble, u even
onyx, the latter of which it is driving
from the market. The raw material
employed comes mostly from the forests
of petrifed wood along the line of the
Atlantic & Pacific Railway. Several
other companies have been formed to
obtain concessions of different portions
of these forests. Biologists viii regret
the destruction of such interesting
primeval remains, and some steps ought
to be taken to preserve certain tracts in
their original tate.-EastHsssThg.

A Great Mans Exalted Opinion of til
Farmers Calling.

A Great Mans Exalted Opinion of the
Farmers Calling.
There is no business of life which so
highly conduces to the prosperity of a
nation, and to the happiness of its en-
tire population, as that of %cultivating
the soil. Agriculture may be regarded,
says the great Sully, as the breast from
which the State derives support and
nourishment. Agriculture is truly our
nursing mother, which gives food and
growth and wealth and moral health
and character to .our country. 1t may
be considered the great wheel which
move all the machinery of society and
that whatever gives to it a new impulse
communicates a corresponding impetus
est which it propels and regulates.
While the other classes of the COM
munity are directly dependent upon
agriculture for a regular and Sufficient
means of subsistence, the akriculturist
is able to supply all the absolute wants
of life from his own labors, though he
derives most of his pleasures and profits
from an interchange of the products Of
labor with the other classes of society.
Agriculture is called the parent of arts,
not only because it was the first prac-
ticed by man, but because the other
arts are its legitimate offspring and can
not long exist without it. It is the
great business of civilized life ard gives
employment to a vast majority of almost
every people.--Boston Pest

STYLISH HOGS.
Prominent Features of Correct Breeding
and Fattening.

Prominent Features of Correct Breeding
and Fattening.
Hog growers are just now advocating
hogs with more lean meat. This is a
move in the right direction. The
stylish hogs of the past decade have
been but little more than Jumps of ami
mated lard. Give the hogs a range
with pasture and feed less corn. That
will certainly improve the quality of
the pork. We would go a little further
than this and advise the breeder of fine
pigs to select his stock with a view to
their final development. The Neapol-
itan hog is at the bottom of all this ex-
cessive fairness. We find it strongly
impregnating the blood of some Berk-
shire families, while it seems t O have
taken possession of everything but the
color of the small Berkshires. The best
hogs for shoulders and hams, the most
valuable part of the body. are the
American breeds, such as Chester
Whites and Poland Chinas, and these
can not be given too much exercise when
they are young, though they should be
literally fed all the time to keep them
6Ao"thS iiSho oiohS PiS W lhiiVOs
should never be allowed to become
stunted for the want of sufficient food,
and then it'can safely be penned when
full grown, for economical fattening.
The farmer should not forget that two
great factors in fattening hogs with
the greatest economy are confinement
and warmth. An exposed pig in cold
or we weather will exhaust fully one-
third of its feed in sustaining bodily
warmth, thus creating q direct loss to
the farmer of nearly one-third of the
food consumed. Sanitary conditions
must be attended to in raising pigs and
fattening them. The young should have
only the earth for travelling and sleeping
on, but the full-grown hog may be CON
fined and fattened on boards alone, and
its quarters should be contracted; it
is always best to have a hard floor
that can be kept clean. These are a
few of the most prominent features of
correct pig breeding and hog fattening
that have been 50 grossly neglected on
many farms that the great epidemics
called hog cholera have been allowed
to do inestimable damage in great Sec
tions of our country.-Orange County

BEYOND H GATE.

Two dimpled hands the bars of iron grasped;
Two blu and wondering eyes the space
locke through.
This massive gate a boundary had been set,
. MOI was she ever known to be but true.
Strange were the sights she saw across the
way
A little child had died some days before
And as she watched, amid the silence hushed,
some carried flowers, some a casket bore.
The little watcher at the garden gate
Grew fearful. hers such thoughts and
wonderings were,
I'LL said the nurse: "Come here. dear child.
Weep not.
We all must go. IT'S God has sent for her."
IF He should send for me"-thus spoke the
child
Til have to tell the angel: DO not wait.
Though God has sent for me, I can not
come;
Ineve go beyond the garden gate"

HOME.BRED CATTLE.
A Strong Argument in Favor of "Hon
reading

A Strong Argument in Favor of "Home-
Breeding"
The cattle reared upon a place pos
sess traits that are of advantage to the
producer over those procured from
other sources. There are few animals
in which ''home" instincts are more
strongly developed than in cattle. They
become much attached to the premises
or localities where they have been
reared, and the conditions under which
they are maintained seem to become a
second nature to them, and they adapt
themselves with great reluctance to
any other. Any alteration or change
is a disturbance which tells more OF less
directly upon their thrift. The very
best continuous results in feeding can
only be realized where the steer is fed
upon the farm where he was raised and
where he has been accustomed to the
identical surroundings which attend
the finishing period. If he is ultimate
ly to be fed in yards neal the stabling
he should be no stranger to them, and
if i'll buildings he should be familiarized
with these long before the fatting
period is reached, so that when placed
in his final quarters there will be no
nervous worry OF apprehension.
Feeling perfectly at home there
will be nothing to prevent a
prompt and liberal return for the
most generous keep. For this reason
it should be the unvarying practice of
the farmer to raise most of the steers
which he feeds, and to only purchase
outside cattle when he has been unable
to breed enough to supply his own
needs. He can buy no cattle, other
things being equal, which will feed with
us much profit and advantage as those
he himself raises.
And there is another great argument
in favor of ''home breeding in the
superior quality of cattle which car
thereby be secured. Those to be pur-
chased in the market are, as a rule,
only moderately improved-quarter
eighth or sixteenths blood at best. They
can be made fat, of course, and MANY
of them are capable of being developed
into prime beasts, but in no such time
and at no such outlay of food and labor
as suffice for animals of better breed
feeding qualities have been more care
fully and persistently developed. On
his own farm, handling cattle to suit
himself, the farmer can improve the
feeding qualities of his cattle to a point

purchased stock, no matter how
grounded" can never inspire, but such
as will turn the product of every field
