A TOOL HOUSE WANTED.
" Where' that loz chain?" asked
Joe
Tubbtofhii boy Bill, aa they were getting
the team ready to draw a load of wood.
" I say. Bill, have you swallowed that
chain? Never can find anything when you
want it. Why didn't you put il up in its

Bill looked astonished, ai if he had not
heard the same thing about some misplaced
tool, every week ol his life, and said very
meekly: "I didn't know it had anv place
in particular, 1 thought I left it on the cart,
where you generally leave it."
The fact is, Tubbs was a sloven, and nev.

edand lie added to this sin, a cross grain

were as often left in the furrow as elsewhere,
and lay out oter Winter; the cart and wag

road side; the chains, yoke, and note bas

sometimes under the shed, again in the coin

A SWIXE PASTURE.
The practice of good farmets differ in re-

their varying circumslsnce. In the hast.

system
undoubtedly the best, where all the pasture
is needrd lor cws and sheep, and where
large quantities of manure ara needed for the
hoed crop.
til the West and South, where land is
cheaper, good farmers rely mainly upon pass
lurage to keep their twine growing through
the Mummer. In the newer settlements they
run almost wild in the woods, and derive
a large part of their living from mast. Ma
nure is little pri.ed, and the only value of
the pig is his flesh, when slaughtered. With
out committing ourselves at all to Ihi mcth
od or making pork, il isconceilcd, that un
der certain circumstances it il desirable tu
have swine get their own living.
What sort of a pasture shall be prepared
lor them? A correspondent w.nta to know
if rye it the best article for them. Rye is
only reliable for a few months, and if sown
t all, should be town in connection with
clover and trass teed, to make a permanent
pastnre. M. W Phillips, ft large planter of
Mississippi, hi discirded rye, and now sows
mitturi 1 of clover, oats iml barley. Th.retasU one drop of the accursed' poison that.
is unquestionably a good foundation for the
proverb: "living like pigs in clover," and
whatever seeds are sown, clover should have
a prominent place among them. It furnish
es a larger amount of leaves, than any ol the
grasses, and is greedily eaten by swine.
They are not very particular as to the kind
of green food they .have, and a farmer my
consult his own convenience as to the kind
of grain or grass he stacks his pasture with.
Yariety is better than any one kind.
After the pasture is stocked, it would be
better not to feed with sine the first year,
unless their noses are jeweled to keep them
from rooting. It should not be fed closely.
A frefuint change from one fa-Id to another
is deairable, both for the thrift on the plants,
and of the aiiimiU. Pis to be lattencil,
should be taken out of the pasture as early
as the first of September, and ki-pt in close
pens. They can then be kept very econom
ically upon corn cut by the routs fur two
months, and finished utt' in November with
old corn, or meal.
Where a regular rotation is pursued, the
last y ar of a field of grass may he devoted
to the swine pasture. A the field is to be
taken up in the Fall lor wheat, rye, or some
other grain, it will be ol utile ciiiecnence i
if the turf be destroyed by the rooting ol the
swine.

MIXING SOILS.
I had a piece of ground which hud become
