They disposed of their produce at the grocery, and then en tered a dry goods store. She made a few trifling purchases of thread, pins, needles and such thiugs, and then called for two knots of yarn. 'That won't be enough, Mary,' said the man, pluking at her dress.' I guets I know what I'm buvinj.' she retorted.' 'But it ain't mor'u half what you had nfoMv he persisted. 'Wal, that's none o' your business ; thet-e socks arc goin to be tor me, aud if I want om short, yon can have yourn come way :p to your neck, if you waut to.' The old man bowed to the inevitable with a long sigh, as his partner turned to the clerk and said : 'Two yards of cheap shirtin, if you jjless.'

'(Jit what you want then,' she shrieked, pushioj him over a stool; 'git ten yards, git a hul piece, git a dozen pieces if you wan't Vrn, but remember that I'll make jou sick for this.' 'Four yards, if you please, mister four yards,' said he to the clrrk ; 'and just re member.' he continued, if you heare of 'em i'ndin' we with my head busted, friz to !ath iu a snow drift, just remember that you heard her say she'd make me sick.'

There was a tall, gaunt old lady and sever 1 chi ldrcn, and our evangelist, horrilied to find so much heathenism in a Chrisliau community, invited them to join him, and he could show them what prajer was, and droping down on his knees commenc- d an earnest supplication. N . ., there was an unregenerated dog in that family also, aud Itefore the first sen tence of the prayer was completed the . Hiigs of the canine were fastened iu that 'ortiou of the old gentleman's raiment which lie sits down upon. The family had remaiued standiug, aud the old lady, observing the dog's action, shouted out : Go on with the prayer, ol f;ller. I'll attend to the dog ! And she seemed very much dissappoiut d to think that the 'ole feller' couldn't prsy and b dog meat at the same time.

'About a dozen,' wax the reply. 'W-w-well,' said Piatt, 'I k-k-keep a h-bo.irding-house, and my b-b-boarders are the biggest -caters you ever s-s-saw. P-p-pick out n-nine of the t-toughest you've g-g-got.' The farmer complied, and laid aside the other three tender ones. Piatt picked them up carefully, and, putting them in his basket, said, 'I b-b-bciieve I'll take these three.' Thf Mania for Cltjioakds.

It is easily understood ; familiarity with its action is very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any practice of n' f kill in the operator. The superior advantage obtained in the "Do vkstii." ure mainly : 1. Light Runniug. 2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels. 3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch. 4. Durability anting from SimplTeity of Con struction. 5. Absence of all Friction, fi. Great range of Work. 7. Ease of Operation. We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only Machine worthy of public favor. We admit there fire soaie possessing real nnd acknow ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many excellences that render it thcitUdly mptrinr to any other Machiut now before the public. Let every woman, therefore, examine for her self into Its merits when she buys a machine. This Is an important purchase, not to be care lessly made ; one that will Influence her com fort, probably foi- a long lime. With a "Domes tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing become u pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have the time aud strength to add beauty and elegance to work in which before she has been obliged to content herelf with bare utilitv.

Sa't is sot only a oiild aperient or aeobstruent, bat it ope. rates, to some extent, as a tonic. It is -ry great rectifier of the acid ity of the stomaech. when taken in proper quantities; and it notsonly renders very palatable, food which would be dis agreeable and insipid without it, bat it keeps the functions of the stomach in a healthy state, and often alleviates the effect of debility and dis ease. The true way is to have a tub of salt pla'-ed where cattle, horses, and heep ean have access to it at all time, whether they are in the pasture or in the barnyard. Then when the appetite call for a lick of salt, Ibey ran go and get il, at the very time it is most needed, and when it will exert the most beneficial effct on digestion or any part of the system. A good plan is to keep salt in a small tub or strong, water tight pail in the pasture during the pasturing season, and in the yard during v winter. Animal will not consume as much when they are supplied with it in this way as they will when tbey are sailed once or twice during a week. It is slovenly and wasteful to throw salt 00 the ground for animals, and es pecially for sheep, as they will often waste half as much a they consume. For sailing sheep, drive three or four high stakes around a pail, or small tub, leaving one side only, so that they can thrust their heads separately inio it. For cuttle and horses, en circle the tub with a lot of boulders as high aa the top of it, or drive a half dozen strong stakes around it letting them extend above it a few inches, to protect it from being pawed to frag- inents. If the tub is water-tight, in case it should rain in It there will be nothing lost, as they will lien the salt water as they will the salt ; and should the water evaporate, the alt will remain. When sheep or r.eai cattle are kept in pasture where there 1 much clover (trifolium prottnte), they usually have a great hankering after salt ; and If tbey can have ie- -cess to it, they will go and lick, more or less, several times during the day ; and they will rectify the acidity of the stomach, and keep them from bloating. Many a farmer has lost a fine auimal, in consequence of bloating, which one pound of salt would have kept In good heallh. Scientific American. How to Manage Yocso Pigs. Until the pigs are a week old, we expect the sow to furnish all the food the pigs require, for unless she ean do so, she is not fit to be a breeder. And here I would say something about the selection of a good breeding sow. First select the best a far I as can be judged, from outward appearauces, with a good, sound constitution. When the sow has the first litter, if she throw good pigs, sound and lively, ana can furnish a good flow of milk, then she should be kept as a breeder ; if she cannot suckle her young properly, cannot supply enough milk to keep the young porkers in good, healthy condition, for the first week at least then she shonld be discarded. If this were generally observed, we would have much better swine than we now have. When the young pigs are about a week old, have a small or low trough put where the lit tle pigs can get to it at all times, yet out of the reach of the old sow. The young pigs will soon learn to eat out of it, and thus help to fatten themselves and relieve the mother. We first give skim milk, after which soar or thick milk is given. The trough should be kept well supplied, so the pigs cau have as much and as often a they wish. This Is the true way to feed a pig, and the sooner began the more pro fitable. As to the age of weaning pigs, many breeders differ, some saying not until eight weeks, while others wean them at four weeks. We have weaned them at four weeks with no bad result, bul think six weeks is better. Live Stock Jour nal. Gapes is Cbickess.

This de laches large numbers of a slender red worm col lected in the larynx of the throat, which impeaes respiration and swallowing.

The freetlng of fruit in the bud, fre quently occasioned by a few warm day succeed ed by late frosts, it is (aid, may be prevented by spreading a thick layer of frozea manure, or of Ice or snow, around the trees, in February or Match, while the ground is firmly frozen.
