MAN AND THE BUSTLE.
BY II. G. DODGE.

II men who laugh at bustles knew
Their own most strange resemblance
Those works of art they would refrain
From poking fun at them again
For instance bustles; bustles, like a man
Run after women all they can,
And get the sack while both to rise
Takes lots of daily papers wise.
or course they both back-slide from grace
And find 1t hard to keep their place,
Unless the woman, nothing 10th,
Sits down with dignity on both,
When crushed and feeling rather flat
They each keep straight along after that.
A hustle will, unlike a man,
Stick up for women all it can
Yet like a man, it Will, alack,
Prove very false-behind her back.
To women, men and bustles cling,
Fen when she has them "on a string"
And though shook off they'll hang around
Until a new attachments found,
Both back a woman up, we know,
And in the fashion like to grow.
Man, like hustle, oft Is strapped"
His thread of life, as easy snapped;
Both keep behind, while women lead,
And follow In her tram with speed.
In civilizations ont skirts new
Are bustling men and bustles, too
Man makes a hustle where he can,
But bustles never make man.

The Currant Worm.

The test known remedy for the
cnrrant worm, which infests both
currant and gOOseberry bushes, il
white helIebore. Now white helle
bore is an altogether different drug
from black hellebOre, so remember
and nse the former. The cheapest
and easiest mode of application is
to mix the hellebOre in water
Place a heaping tablespoonful Of
the powder in a dish; add grad
ually a quart of boiling water, stir
ring all the while 10 make certain
that the belIebore is thoroughly
saturated. Turn this mixture into
n pAlful OF cold water, stir well
and apply with a garden syringe
or ordinary watering pot. The OBJ
Ject is to wet every leaf; make two
applications, few days apart.
While white hellebore is poisonous
there is little or no danger from It's
use, as above directed. The
chances are that before the fruit is
ripe enough to eat the rains will
have washed of all traces of the
heIlebore, and should any remain
on the clusters the fruit will present
a soiled appearance and be reject
ed in consequence.

Narrowing and Rolling.

In the spring when farm worl
presses, and we are anxious to get
in the seed, there is a constant
temptation to SOW or plant before
making the ground as fine and
mellow as our better judgment
{ lis US is necessary. Patience is
the greatest of all virtues, but with
thu farmer in the spring 1t must be
an active energetic patience. After
The crop is in he waits patiently.
But before sowing we must be on
our guard against the kind of i'm.
patience that results in hasty and
imperfect preparation of the land.
Oats can be sown on land early
ia the spring without much har-
rowing, and We presume that is
true of spring wheat. But barley
requires the best of tllth, and the
harrows must be kept at work till
ne surface is fine and mellow.
Narrowing and rolling require
more careful attention than is
usually bestowed upon them. We
d. not roll to make the land firm.
Narrowing will make the land
firmer than it can be made, except
OH the surface, by a roller. We
roll to break the Jumps. The
roller will not crush Jumps that it
cannot reach, and so we harrow to
break some of the Jumps and to
pull the others to the surface, leav.
ing il rough, and then follow with
a roller. Great improvements have
been made in harrows and rollers.
The work can be done with tar less
labor than formerly, but there IS
still need for good Judgment and
for promptness. A field may work
well to-day, that to morrow, after
a rain, would be damaged rather
than improved by the harrow or
roller. And part of field can be
worked while other parts are still !
too wet. We need to have every
thing ready, so that not moment |
may be lost when the conditions /
are favorable for the important /
work of GttOg the land for tie re-
reptiOn Of the seed. And do not
fail to put in the seed as soon as
the land is ready for it. 1t is rare
that a farmer sows or plants too
early in the spring.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A PLEA FOR THE PIG.

No animal is so generally mis-
treated and so little understood as
the pig. After the first few days,
when he is acknowledged so cute
and pretty, till be is fit for the
slaughter, he is the symbol for
whatsoever is ugly, filthy and dis
gusting. And yet this is wholly
unjust. The pig is what he is, en-
tirely, because OF the treatment he
receives. Heis naturally intelligent
and docile. With little pains he
can be taught great number of
tricks. The cause of his seeming
obstlnacy is his keen sense Of
smell and limited powers OF vision.
He scents something afar of, he
cannot see it, and fearful of dan.
ger he turns about and obstinately
refuses to proceed. If he had been
previously taught 10 respect his
driver, he would obey him even
against his will; but generally he
has found little in his owner to re.
spect. He wallows in the mlre be.
cause nothing else is given as alter
native. Give him a clean pen, on
grassy sod, and see how he will de-
light to root in the fresh ground,
He cannot keep himself clean, but
he will enjoy a thorough cleaning
with soap and brush occasionally.
1t is pitiable to see him stand in
9Th 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 re-
ceive without comment, as simply
barbarOus. The suggestion of Civ.
ing pigs home in a manure heap
for the purpose of tramping down
the manure may be an excellent
thing for the manure but it is ter
rible 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 of piece of grass
land for his pigs, gives them plen-
" OF room for exercise, feeds them
good clean food, and it is a pleas
nre 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 receive prop
er treatment and be better able to
relish life and be better relished
after his life has left him.-MdSs.
