Mother Robin Cull* a New Mate. A friend of -i iue baa a robin's nest that be guards with very great ''are, and about which he tells a story to all i he young and old people who call upon him. " There is a romance," ho says, as he shows you the nest, "about this, and If you want to hear it, l will tell it to you." "It was a good many years ago," my friend begins, "that this nest was made. There came one morning early In April two robins to tue big fir-tree in front of my window. Ouo ol theui had, as sure as you live, a club-foot, and he hobi'led a out upon it iu a very lively manner, and I know tiiat it was this one—Mr Rubin, 1 call aim—that fixed upon the precise place for the neat. For he whetted his bill upon a bough a great many times, and then he dancod upon it with one foot and the other, a though trying its strength, and at last he flew up to Mrs Rjbiu, who was standing on the limbabo\e looking at him. My windov was open, and 1 heard him peeping the gentlest little song toher thatyoucan imagine. Then she Jumped down upou tiie limb, rub bed i er bill upon it, and danced, while he looked at her, and after she had done these things she sang the llt.le melody. Alter that they flew away with great speed, and the next that 1 saw of them they were working with might and main, bringing twigs, moss, twine, and *ll sorts of things, until ai last they bad the nest tna '6. Now my friend, when he g ts so far In his story, always stops a uiomerf and laughs, thoughyou cannot see an.' „ thiugto laug.i at. But he looks closely at you, and just as soou as he observes the surprise that your eyes snow, he says : ought to say right here that my mother had a very choice piece of lace, a collar or something of that sorr, ttiat was washed and put out upon a little bush that very day that Mr aud Mrg Robin decided to build the nest in the fir-tree. A great fuss was made that eveuing because the lace collar could not be found, and mother wanted the police called, so that the thief might be arrested aud the collar got back, for that collar was worth, I have heard, a great many dollars. But the police never found the thb f. "Now I will go on with my story, always continues my trlend, and he generally takes the nest in his hauds at this time. "Well, after this nest— this is the very one I hold in my hand —was built, you never saw a more a*- ten:ive lover thau this Mr Robin. lie would hop about with his club-loot, and seem to put his eye right upon an angle worm's cave every time he flew down to the ground, and you might see him from early morning to suuset flying back and forth with hi 6 mouth full of good things for Mrs Robin, and he would feed her as she sat upon the nesi. "One day he seemed specially excited and happy; you could hear hiui sing ing in the trees more loudly than be fore, and I could see from my window the cause of his joy. Four yellow mouths were put up to receive the dainties he had brought, and then 1 knew the little robins had come. Wei J, old Mr Robin was so excited that he did not see our cat stealthily coming, as he was pulling away at a very long angle-worm. Pussy had him in her mouth before he could give a warning cry, and the last I saw of Mr Kobl.i was the club foot that hung out of puss's mouth. "By and by Mrs Robin seemed to get hungry, and I heard her uttering two strange notes that I nad never heard before, and which seemed to me to sound just as though she was saying, 'Come here! come here!' Of course that was not what she said, but I have no doubt that the notes meant just]that, and that every robin that ml JUC have heard thjem would have understood them as a call for help. But no robin came. It rained all that day, and poor Mrs Robin kept up that cry, and her young ones continually thrust bills from beneath her body, and open ed them. I could not help them, 01 course, for little birds would rather starve than be fed by any one but their parents "Now I am coming to the strangest part of my story," my friend always says when he reaches this point. "The next morning WHS clear, and I happen ed to be up early. Oid Mrs Rjbi.r had begun her plaintive call. Suddenly I saw a great many robins—not less than 20,1 should say—that had come together from some place, and rested upon the branches of a great elm-tree, Of a 1 the noises I ever heard from birds, those that these robins made were the strangest. At last they wore quiet, and two of them flew off to the fir-tree and cautiously made their way to t.ie nest. Mrs Robin looked at them, ami s ing a little trill. One of the visitors, with much shaking of the head, san* something in reply, and then the other one did the same thing. Mri Robin repeated her trill, and then she hoppi d up to the branch above, and sang auotber note or two, and the smaller oi the two robina took his place beside her. Then the other robin flew away to hi? cjmpanions, and after singing a little* they all went off together. "When I lcoied back to the nest,Mr? Robin sat there perfectly quiet, and, not more than a minute after, the new Mr Robin brought a worm, and he was from that time until the little ones got their feathers and flew oft', as kind and attentive to Mrs Robin as had been poor old club-footed Mr "Now isn't this a pretty love story ?" my friend inquires, and of oourse you say it is, and then ask him why he laughed, and what his mother's lace collar had to do with it, and he wLI anwser you i i this way "Look in the uest. See what lies on the bottom, where the little robim netlel. I got the nest after they all flaw away together, and thcie In the bottom was my mother's lace collar, not good to wear any longer, so I havi let it stay there ever slnoe. Do you auppose jouug robins ever had such a voitly bed?" FARM AND GARDEN. PROFIT IN HOGS.—LI raising hogs, In other departments of live stoek hus bandry, the interest of the farmer is to get the most money for his care, labor and feed, it has been shown repeat edly by experiments that wili-bred Berkshire* aud Poland-China swine will, under favorable circumstances, produce twelve pounds of pork lor a bushel of corn. These instances may not be very numerous, but they show what can be done and done without much diftleulty. From a list of ex perimeuts in feeding swine made in several States, the lowest average was five and three-quarter pounds ot pork to a bushel of corn fed on the ground, and the highest an average of twenty pounds, made by feeding a pair of pig green corn in the ear. From thirteen experiments made, tlie average lor every bushel of corn was 10 pounds ol pjrk. With a gotd bried of swine properly cared for, live and sixteenths pounds of corn ought so produce one pound of pork. This is a bettei average t an is generally obtained, but it lsho.h possible and practicable. Instead ol six pounds to the bushel—which is a fair estimate with inferior animals to consume the grain—the farmer onghi not to be content with less than ten pounds. It Is not difficult to calculate what one is doing iu feeding corn to hogs lu the way of returns. If one bushel i f corn represents ten pounds of pork, and the price of pork is $3 per Hundred, the farmer is receiving 3y cents per bushel lor his corn, and it pork is $4 per hundred he Is getting 40 cents for com. CENTRIFUGAL MILK TESTER. — A wheel of any convenient size is mount ed upright and counected with some device lor giving it a high rotary speed by hand-power. On this wheel Is se cured two or more radical bars, and on them, at opposite sides of the wheel near the edge, are fastened small test tubes, closed at one end, or small glass vials with the corked ends toward the rim of the wheel will answer. This may be fastened to the wheel by spring clamps, or by wires, or In anv other convenient manner. The milk to be tested is poured into these vials placed on opposite sides of the wheel, and the wheel is then turned at a high speed for about two minutes. On stopping the wheel and taking tiie vials oil, the milk will be found separated into its constituent parts water, butter, casein, etr. Pure and normal milk will separate into its various constituents in a certain tixed proportion, and will give a scale or standard lor comparing ether milks tested In the same manner. If adulterated with water, the milk when thus divided, will show the ex act proportion ot water added by com parison with the normal standard. It will be observed tnat the apparatus is equally useful in testing oils, honey, lard and other liquids liable to adulter ation. WOOD ashes will decompose bones. Expose to the weather a barrel tilled with alternate three-Inch layers ot broken bones and ashes for several months, when, on examination, the bones will be found to be reduced to a jelly-like substance, forming pi osphate of potash, one of the most powennl as well as lasting fertilizing materials known, and one which, when exposed to the sun for a few days, may be easily reduced to powder, the very best con dition for applying to the land. Do not hurry the operation, but save all the bones and let time and worn! ashes convert them into a rich manure. MAKKEIIXO FRUlT. —Provide all the appliances oi quick and proper market ing before the iruit is ready. So much depends upon the appearance of the fruit at the market, that neatness and care in so packing it that it will show at its best will pay. Caution should be given to the pickers that no overripe irult is to be put into the baskets or crates, if the distance to market is considerable the fruit should be in a less mature state than when the market is but a shott distance away. Watcti the market. His favorite Si ale. A Eureka teamster is noted for the affection that he betrays for one of the mules in his outfit, the most obstinate and mangy looking animal in the string, and his fondness for "Nancy," as he calls her, has passed into a pro verb. Upon being rallied upon this peculiarity by a chum, he discoursed as follows : "I used to have a sweet heart back in Injtany that I was awful gone on, and this yere cussed mule has so many pints in common that my heart just yearns over her. She was as likely a gal as ever run barefooted in a cornfield, but she was too cussed, obstinate to enjoy good health. You never knew just how to take her. She'd look you right suillin in the eye, aud you'd think thar were more sugar in her nor in a New Orleans merlasses hogshead, but if you laid yer hands on her onexpected like, she'd kick the breeching all to p ; ecrs in less than a minute. I reckon she's cost me nigh onto $5OO for harness, saying nothing about a doctor's bill for a broken leg ; but you get into a place whar the mud's deep, and the rest of the team kerfium mexed, and call onto her for assistance and hang my eyes if she won't pull herself clear out of her hide to help you out of your trouble. That were the very way with Nancy. The summer Tore 1 emigrated I were mighty sick with the a-jer, and got tl e m lk fever on top of that, and I were pretty nearly ready to cross over Jordan, but she nussed me, helped her ole dad all day, and sat up with me nights until s e were a sliadder, but she pulled me through, aud then she advised me to emigrate to Californy. I hated to go away; it was like persuading a hungry hosstoleavea pail of oats; but thar war no use, she were bound to hev her way, and I came. That war fifteen year ago, and I hadn't been in the country a month 'fore I got news ol ter dying. Poor gal! She overdone berscl' takin' care of my worthless carcass, and I never seen no wonjan since that time that were worth shucks compared to her. His eyes were moist as he closed his; fl *ctir g reminiscences, and if any of our readers notice a mouse-colored lead mule that can kick i fly off her companion's ear with un failing accuracy, or out-pull any pair in the team, they will know that the romance of the driver's life is centered in that animal, and respect the tender memories that cause him to bestow upon her the affection that was once the sole property of the departed "Nancy."

A GENTLEMAN gives the following advice iu relation to dogs: "If you enter a lot where there is a vicious dog, be careful to remove you hat or cap as the animal approaches you, hod the same down by your side, between yourself and the dog.
