RAISING PORK UIiEAI'LY.
We need nioie grass and clover, and
less corn, upon which to make our pork.
Moro grass and clover '.ueaus cheaper
growth and less disease. Just as the
great corn and pork pioduciog lands
havo been developed has vwiue disease
spiung lip and increased, bccnusc our
swine are given a •monotonous diet of
dry, oily food. Grass And clover arc
the foods of nature, and the swine har
vest thcin. 1 bey require little prepar
ation of the ground for them and no cul
tivation. When pastured they built up
rather thau exhaust tlie land, and it'
cannot be successfully disputed that
they are essential factors in the produc
tion of the cheapest pork. Let pigs
farrowed in the spring be put on grass
and clovor as soon as they are fit to be
grased, and kept on them as long as
they are palatable, and the result will
be a pig not fat, bat in good eendition
and thrifty, that ualil fall has large
healthy bones and muscle and a vigor,
ous appotibe for oorn. And then it may
be fed corn largely, for this will put fat
on tho large frame tho pasture has made
and the hog is vigorous enough to digest
tho com well; and if the hog is fatted
tupidly and markotod as soon as fully
fat, it is the cheapest pork that cau be
inado—the cheapest, not taunting loss
from disease. But aiinc plague rarely
invades the pasture; iu favorite place
of appoaranee is in the small lot, paved
with eobs and manure. The beg sum
mered on grass and olovor is so vigorous
that it rarely sickens when being fatten
ed on com largely, but also otlior food,
tud iu clean qurters with pure water.

NEW PLAN FUR TURNIP UUL
TURE.
It was the pleasure of the writer to
visit the home of Mr. Robert Harris, in
lteidiville, some days since. While
there he showed me what was, to me at
least, a new way of cultivating turnips,
lie has a lot of late corn for roasting
ears, now about silking. When he de
sired to sow his turnip seed, he had tho
laud upon which this com is growing
well prepared, in such a ivay «s not to
injure the corn, putting a largo quanti
ty of manure upon it, and pulverizing it
well, slid then sowed the turnip seed
among tho corn They have already
come up and are growing thriftily He
has already raised a fine crop of pota
toes upon the samo lot. 'J his makes
threo crops for tho samo lot this year.
Now you ask, what is the advantage
of this plan? Largely this : The corn !
serves as a shade and protection to the
young turnips in caso of dry, hot weath- 1
or. At the Batuo tiaie, there is sufficient
mauure in the soil to feed both orops
aud prevent tho one from drawing too
hoavily from the other. The experience
of Mr. Harris has been of such a charac
ter as to recommend this plan to those
who desire to try it.
Let us further suggest that tno little
attention is paid by our farmors and
gardeners to turnip culture. It is too
frequently tho case that we ctrelessly
plant tbii or op without sufficient manure
to make the teed sprout, if sprouting
depended upon fertilisation.
We need not expeet to gather boun
tiful harvests continuously from- any
land unloss wo feed tho toil. There is
too great a tendency to try this experi
ment, which haa invariably proved a
failure. 11 we wish a herse to do good
work, we must foed him wall. If we
desire our land to produoe well, we
must likewiso feed it well.
With the season* which we aro bow
having tlie fault will bo peculiarly our
own if wc do not hare a most excollent
turnip crop— Progr •sive Farmer.

THE RELIGION VERY MUCH

Jufitut tins time our country needs a

and accounts with God nor man—cash
up. Wo want to pounce right on a fel
low and put hiui of the church if he
goes to a ball, or theatre, or goes en a
1 druulc, but never say a word to the pi
ous scamp who never pays bis debts.
Preaclmrs and pcoplu who never pay
their debts arc doing the church wore

You raise that excuse to keep from pay
