DIVERSITY OF CRoPs-This does not
necessarily mean that every farmer should
attempt to raise every different crop that
can be grown on his land. but rather that
each one should raise only the few crops
that are best suited to all the conditions
under which be is placed. These condi-
tions are so various that great diversity
of crops can nearly always be secured
within comparatively limited area. II
has been we'll said that there is more in
the man than there is the land. Every
farmer, then. to achieve his greatest sue
cess, must find out land he must do the
finding out for himself) to what crops his

A Plea for the Pig.

No animal is so generally mistreated
and so little understood as the pig. After
the first few days when he is so cute and
pretty until he is fit for the slaughter he
is the symbol for whatsoever is ugly, filthy
and disgusting. And yet this is wholly
unjust. The piglis what he is entirely
because of the treatment he receives. He
> is naturally intelligent and docile. With
q little pains he can be taught great
number of tricks. The cause of his seem
ing. obstinacy 10 his keen sense of smell
and limited powers of vision He scents
something afar off, he cannot see it, and
fearful of danger he turns about and OBJ
stinately refuses to proceed. If he had
been previously taught to respect his
driver, he would obey him even against
his will; bat generally he has found little
in his owner to respect. He wallows 10
the mire because nothing else is given as
an alternative. Give him clean pen on
grassy sod and see how he will delight
to root in the fresh ground. He csnuot
keep himself clean, but he will enjoy a
thorough cleaning with soap and brush
occasionally. It is pitiable to see him
stand in filth up to his body and try to
rub against some filthy board the rough
scales of his ugly back. Some day we
shall regard the treatment these animals
now receive without comment as simply
.barbarous. The suggestion of giving
pigs home in a manure-hesp for the pur-
pose of tramping down the manure may
be au excellent thing for the manure, but
it is terrible for the pigs. Think of eat
ing that pork! In contrast is the case of
a well-known farmer, one among many
daily growing to be more, who fences off
piece of grassland for his pigs, gives
them plenty of room for exercise, feeds
them good, clean food, and it is pleasure
at any time to lean over the fence that
confines them and watch their happy life.
This plea is for the pig, that he may re.
ceive proper treatment and be better able
to relish life and be better relished after
his life has left him.--Massachusetts

The Culture of Rhuharh.

AT the request of several OF our sub
scribers we give the following hints on
the culture of rhubarb. The best time to
plant rhubarb is in the fall after frost has
killed the leaves, or early in spring be-
fore it has made much growth, but it
may be set out without much risk at any
time in early summer before July l.
The old roots should be divided so as
TO have but one or two eyes to each piece,
and should be set out about three feet
apart in the burrows of small plow, with
four feet between the rows. Cover 1 wo
inches deep with hoe.
Hoo Rhubarb is in no way particular about
the land it grows upon, provided it is not
a dry gravel and is we'll manured. To
grow 1t well, however, demands very
heavy manuring; ten or fifteen cords per
acre every year of strong manure, rich in
nitrogen, il what7is wanted. Hog ma
nure is best. Spread the maru-e and
plow under when preparing the land, and
. put some more along the burrows in
planting. Afterwards rake off every fall
the dead leaves and rubbish about Nov.
e. l. Plow light lurrow from the plants
at each side, Gil this with manure, and
cover with plow, ridging the land well
over the crowns. In early spring culti-
vate across the ridges and stir often with
plow and cullivator, and hoe until it is
growing too high. ~ s
The best variety for general marketing
in Boston is the Victoria, on account Of
it's large size and very heavy yield.
Thirty tons per, acre is not unusual, aud
even forty topsT have been grown The
LinnRus variety is earlier aud preferred
by some buyers for it's milder acid, but it
does not yield much more than half the
crop which the Victoria will produce.
To grow rhubarb proftably one should
be near his market, for the bulk oi the
crop cells at less than SIS per ton, and
often for $40. The expense Of marketing
at long distances is considerable. It is
mostly grown within six or eight miles OF
market. Ia RI
The bed should be replanteda after
about five years bearing, as the roots
spread about and crowd, making large
amount of small stalks, involving double
the labor in cutting and punching for
market, and making an inferior product
to that grown on young bed, A new
plantation should not be cropped at all
the first year, and will not produce full
crop the second, bat after that for five
years is in its prime.
The price Of rhubarb is always high
early in the season, and some growers
grow little OF the Linnaus variety ID
sandy land on the south side of q fence,
so as to get it early Cultioator.
8 eH The suppositiou that dark colored
eggs are richer than those that are light.
colored, is only popular notion. The
shell gives very little indication of an
egg. Dark yolks are sometimes preferred,
owing to, the deeper color, but very often
the light shell eggs win contain darker
Yolks than those that are dark-colored on
the she'll, and something depends also
upon the POstLtrv ReeDer.

publishing to the world, as a result of my efforts
in the strictly "Wholesale" business, and yet it
ought not to be a surprise, as there is no House,
be it North or South East or West. that can
claim advantages which do not possess.
Nor 40 intend to rest on my laurels, but feel
that my desire for still greater achievements has
been "whetted," and to which end 1 am now
bending every nerve, and with my adopted
motto of
P. P. p.
Push, Patience, and Perseverance,
In the near future expect to see my business
reach such large proportions as to "Astonish the

For the past three months have been almost
constantly among the Southern. Western and

for

AND ALL-WOOL FILLED JEANS AND

That it takes nerve and money to do these
things 80 far ahead of the Season, goes without
saying, and claim to possess both of these
qualities.
