Look IIerk, IIexky, do you know
what makes those pigs look so lean V ' Yes,
sir, I do. I miido them look that way my
self, sir.' Whatl T you meau to tell
lue that you keep them trotu their feed,
afier my giving you orders to be careful
and feed them well ? X0, sir, not exactly
that ; but you see I lead in a book that the
best way to ft-ed ivijis and make them smart
was to give them plenty to cat one day,
and nothiuj: the m-xt. as that is tl.e 11 :
way t- biiu,' llieiu up, and it makes uicer J
meat." 'How d-H'S il make nicer meat, you j
young t-xl demanded the now exaspe
rated fanner, seeing that his pigs, which :
he took such juide in raisin?, were bein j
half stai vtd. Vtil, the book said to feed j
one day that makes a streak of fat-aud j
tive them nothiuj; the uext day that ,
makes a streak of lean ; aud that's the way
I like pork.' 'What bock did you learn
that iuV1 asked the farmer. 'Why, in
that old nlmanac that hangs in the kitchen.'
'Oh,' ai the farmer, 'that's so. There's
a good mauy things iu that book: but
hereafter I waut you to feed them pisjs as
I tell you, while I will attend to the read
ing matter.' Henry was surprised to find
the table loaded that day, aud the farmer
telling him to eat plenty. He did not know
what to make of it until the next morning, j
when he was kenl waitinz fur his breakfast !
until eleven o'clock, and could stand it no
longer; so up he went to his employer, aud
said, 'I say, Mr. W , aiu't we a going
to have auy breakfast this morning V 'Wei!
no, I don't think we will,' replied Mr.
W. 'You see it says in that almanac that
h pig inwardly is the same as a human be
ing ; and I'm going to try the same plan
of getting a streak of fat and a streak of
lean on my ma so as to make them half
way smart. If they have all fat, they will
be too lazy. Don't you think it is a good
plan, Ilenry ?' The next day that almanac
was missing.
Winter Ghave Digging. Jones was
hired during the 'cold-snap' to dig a grave
foi a person who bad departed from this
world of woe, so be shouldered bis spade
and trudged unwillingly to the cemetery.
Arriving at the cemetery, Jones ierceived
the head of a sturdy Swede just visible
above the edge of a grave about completed.
Jones advanced to the hole and entered
into conversation with the foreigner, from
whom be learned that the grave just com
pleted would not be occupied at oucc.
Then the Swede went away, and Jones sat
down on top of a baby tombstone, rested
bis elbows upon bis knees and his cheeks
on bis bands, and meditated. lie reflected
upon the frost in the cround and upon the
immense amount of labor involved in Win
ter grave-digging. Then be left the ceme
tery and did not again put in an appear
ance until the comiug of the body for
the reception of which in earth be was to
have provided. When the procession ar
rived, however, he was on band, and very
sedately conducted it to the grave the
Swede bad dug, where the body was de
posited. Jones received the five dollars
and hied him from the viciuity of the ceme
tery, and all was peaceful in the neighbor
hood until the arrival of the funeral pro
cessiou with the second body. St. Louis

Easy Boots. One of the easiest things
in this world iz a loose boot ; it iz just as
falling oph from a log when yu are fast
asleep.
The man who fust invented tite boots
committed suicide, so I have been told ;
this waz kind in the phellow. But if he
bad committed suicide before he had been
born, it would have been kinder still.
v boots are one ov the luxuries ov
kno, and don't kare. Enoy man who kan
wear a tite boot, and enjoy it, iz cither a
martyr or a phoul,it makes but little differ
ence which.
Tite boots produce korus, buyons, aud
swaring, and tbare is only one thing kan
be said in their favor ; they make a man
forget all his own sorrows.
An eazy boot will humanize a sinner
faster than two mithionry kan.
Vanity iz the godfather of tite boots, and
just so long az men mistake a number ele
ven foot for a number niue boot, just so
long we shall -see them limping around,
with boots on two sizes too small.
Next to a clear conscience, for solid com
fort, and every day wear, cums an eazy
boot. Josi Hilling'1 A huaiuu:
To Heaven Barefooted. Duting
the pioneer days of Iotia, the town had an
editor who was paiirut and long sutlc-ring.
Some of the members of the church got him
to cive twenty dollars towards M-cuiin a
minister ; t'.wn they wanted five dollars fur
the heathen ; then they wauled their reli
gious notices inserted free ; then he was
' asked for twenty-five dollars towards help
ing to build a, parsonage, and he finally
bund he was giving the church more than
be gave his family. He nevertheless 'hung
on' for a time longer, or until oue evening
he went to prayer meeting and was asked
to leave his office for a week and go aud
help clear the grounds for a camp meeting.
That was the last straw aud he rose up aud
said :
'Geutlemen, I'd like to go to heaven
along with you. I know you all. You are
clever aud obliging, and kind aud lender,
and it would be nice for us all, as a cou
gregation to go in together, but I've con
cluded to leave you and dodge in along
with somebody from Detroit, Lapeer or
Grand Ilapids. It's money, money, mouey,
all the time, and if my wife should die,
she'd have to go to heaven barefooted.'
The congregation seemed to realize that
a free Lorse Wa$ bciDg rode tO dealll. TlieV J
let up tbe editor and pucificd bini. He
even had a rpecial tent assigned him at the
cauitMueetiDg, and all was well.

Common 8esse in Plowing. A con-esron-dent
of the Detroit Free Ire$ gives bis opinion
of piowiug as follows :
Teams drawing loads ou the road get a breath
ing spell on the descending ground, whito in
plowing -the draught is the same from morning
till night. There is a certain number of pounds
that a teani can draw day after day and ' not
worry them, but ir more be added, even as little
as fifteen or twenty pounds, they walk unstead
ily, fret and soon tire. No amount of feeding
will keep them in condition. 1 Lave seen many
plows iu wLich it would have been an easy mat
ter to decrease the draught twenty-five pounds,
ami if men were drawing them Instead of horses
it would have been done. It must be plain to
the Tanner that every pound that he can take
off from tbe draught of bis plow is so much
gained for his horses.
It may be doue in this way : For any soil
except sand or gravel, use a steel plow. Their
con is but little more, and tbe draught enough
less to pay the difference in plowing twenty
acres. In plowing sod, the coulter does a great
deal of tbe work, and should be kept sharp by
forging at. the blacksmith's and grinding every
day if necessary. Of course it will wear out
sooner, but new coulters are cheaper than new
teams. Set tbe coulter in Hue with tbe plow,
the edge square in front, with an angle of forty
five degrees from tbe front to where it Is attach
ed to the beam.
When tbe share gets worn abort it is poor
economy to nse it any longer, but, replace it
with a new cue. Let tbe traces be as short as
will allow the horses to walk without hitting
their heels against the whiffietrees. and have
ut pressure enough of tbe wheel on tbe ground
to make the plow rue steady. If the bandies
crowd coutinuailv oue way, tbe draught is not
right, aud if the plow is a good one it can be
easily remedied at the elevis. To prevent the
horses stepping over tbe traces in turning,-fas-teu
a weight of about three-fourths of a pound
on the outside cud of each singletree that is on
the right end when you tarn to the left, or vie
versa. Each observing farmer knows that
horses are susceptible to kicdness and equally
so to unkiudness. I haveseen horses that were
working steadily made reekness with sweat in a
short time by a sharp word or a jerk on the bit.
Let your horses do then- work as you do yours,
as easily as possible, and be as willing to over
look their mistakes as yoa woald tbe mistakes
of human beings.
Farm Hints. The reason why black wool is
not worth as much as white wool of the same
quality is, says the Country Gentlemen, that
black wool cannot be bleached and will take no
other color perfectly.
It has been fully proved on the farm that tbe
deposits of a hen are worth her feed, when used
as a fertilizer. In other words, and as oar
friend Dickens would say, not to put too fine a
point upon it, a check for tbe amount of her de
posite, presented to the gardner's bank, should
be fully honored to the amount of its face.
Pcccavi !
A rich, well pulveriized, clean, and rather
stiff loam is bekt for onions. Tbe seeds should
be sown iu rows niue or ten inches apart (some
sow one foot) and tonr to six inches apart in the
row.
There is no better way of killing out quack or
wire grass than to summer fallow the land.
Sometimes it will require two seasons and very
thorough work ; still it eau be killed in this way.
Use only fresh seed and do not use any that is
one or two years old, is the advice given by a
farmer.
Ceijsrt. There is nothing more useful ia a
house than celery. Tbe ontsides will serve as
flavoring for soup, and the hearts cooked for the
table, orto be eaten with cheese. First of all.
remove the outside leaves from the hearts end
trim the roots not cut them off. Have two
litre pans of water, one of warm, tbe other of
cold celery in warm water with a brush, and
throw it into the cold water, also the hearts, and
gravel, insects and dirt will fall from tbe celery
at ouce. Take all the outside pieces and pare
away every faulty and discolored bit ; then
split each piece in two, or three, or four, and cut
it crossways in very small bits, and put it into a
pie-dish. The hearts of the celery must be laid
aside in water, when a bead or more is wanted
it can be taken from the water and cnt in proper
shape to be served at table, but before it is put
into the last water any discolored bit must be cut
from it. To tbe small celery in the pie-dish add
oue or two lare turnips pared thin, then cut
downwards from the head to the root ic a dozen
cuts, bnt not separating the tnrnip ; then tarn
tho turuip round in the hand and cat it the other
way in a number of cats ; hold it on a plate and
cnt it across. The tnrnip will now fall into
many square pieces. A carrot may be cat in the
same way. This mixture will last for a week,
to put into cold soup, stock or broth, and well
boiled, to fiive flavor to it. Thus there is thrift
of time and thrift of vegetables, for it takes no
louger to prepare this for the consumption of a
week than it does for one day. Moreover, celery
thns prepared will keep good, crisp and well fla
vored for a fortnight often for a longer time.
The last Wett-Chetter Record contains reports
from several of the townships in Chester county,
on the condition on the wheat crop, and not one
of them speaks favorably. Indeed some of them
declare that there will not be half a crop.
HOUSEHOLD.
f From tin Germantown Ttlegraph.
Cooking a Shad. We reside at a point on the
noble Delaware where we can get every morning
shad tafcjeo during the previous night, and can
take onr pick if we are willing to pay the price.
Shad is somewhat like bread and beef, one can. '
eat It every day as long as it lasts without get
ting tired of it. As to cookiog shad I have tried
various ways. It is a a nioUl Ash and should
not be fried, but broiled or baked. We have
worn out several blanks in our family iu baking
them over hickory coals. We thought tbe fish
was not fit to eat In any other way. But when
it became difficult always to have hickory coals
in an open kitchen fire-place, we tried them ever
oak coals.uud could discover no difference. Next
we tried on a griddle over maple eoals, and no
one ignorant of the manner of cooking failed in
praising the excellence of the fish. Afterwards
when wood of auy kiud became scarce, I had
them broiled pardon, epicurean reader ! over
the anthracite coals in tbe range, aud the fish
was just as good as ever !
But to be more precise and certain, having a
few sticks ol hickory left, I had one shad baked
upon a plank before these coals as formerly, and
another broiled on a griddle over anthracite coal.
They were placed side by side on the table, with
a private mark on one of the dishes, and the
family and a couple of guests were told that they
were cooked in different ways and their opinion
was desired. Pieces were taken aud placed side
by side on each plate, and in this way the ques
tion was decided and bow I Some said one
was the better, some said the other, and some
said tbey could taste no diffeience. And such
was tbe fact there was no difference.
