A COMPROMISE.
A. r. Wells in st. Nicholas.

Once two little gentlemen, very polite.
Stepped up to gate that was narrow-quite.
The one who was v~ry well-bred aud thinl
Was plainly intending to pass within.
The other Remarkably bland aud stout
Was Just as surely T, solved TO pass ont
Now what could the two little gentlemen do
But say with bow, "After you!' AFTER you!'
And there they stood bowling, with Courteous
smile,
Their hats in their hands, for a marvellous while;
For the thin little man was very wsll-b ed.
And the stout man had not a rude hair In his
head.
But there CHANGED that way philosopher wise,
Who sagely effected q C promise;
That each in turn should 60 through the last;
Thus might the troublesome gate be passed
So first the courteous gentleman thin.
With greatest reluctance passed within.
And then the well-mannered gentleman stout,
With polished obeisance made his way out
But sadly turned and went back, that he
Might share in the breach Of courtesy!
Theu the thin little man stepped out once more
Contentedly, where he YVES before.
And thus having settled the difficult case,
Each walked away with jubilant face.

Practical Turnip-F eeding.

-
Mr.. F. d. Curtis, to practice what he
breaches, uses turnips in feeding his hogs,
and gives his experience. He says that
the best pork ever made on the farm was
made by feeding sixteen old hogs, twice
a day, five bushels of turnips and swedes,
boiled, and mixed with a half bushel Of
rye, ground entire. Three weeks before
killing-time the rye was increased TO
three pecks at each meal. The turnfps
were cooked in a potash kettle, which
held, heaping full, ten bushels, when
boiled until soft they were shoveled into
a barrel, and the kettle filed again; these
were cooked with about half the fire re-
quined for the first lot. The troughs were
filled with the turnips, the meal spread
on, and the mass worked together vita a
hoe. The hogs were then allowed to
pitch in. After filling themselves with
this succulent and healthful food. they
would 20 out into the field and lie down
and sleep until il was digested, and then
