HOG?RAISING.
It is well known to farmers who are
versed in tho science of hog-raising,
that- the pigs of a well bred and wellfed
sow,, after they are a few days
old, instirctively choose their places
at the udder of the dam, each lililo
pig selecting its own peculiar toat;
and when they take their food, each
one, amii! rush and roogh-andtumble,
ietohes up iu hlS J>iaco
with as much accuracy as a well train
ed family oi children como to tbo
dinner table. The smallest, tbe runt,
or what in common parlanco is called
tbo "titman" fiuds bimself crowded to
tbe last teat at tbo rear end of tbe
ndder, If tho number of pigs be
greater than, tho number of teats,
tbo weakest pig canuot bo reared.
Wo have in mind an instance in which
the brood of pigs numbered one moro
tban tho teats on tbe udder of tho
sow. Tho smallest pig had uo place
at tho dinner table. After a few

In every brood of pigs, in every

^ cattle, in every drove of boracs, in
every nest of birds, in ovory brood ol
domestic fowls, in every ear of grain
Damo Nature makes provision ioi

TURNIP8.
BY CHARLES A. PEAB0DY.
Tho Turnip has been cultivated ns
a garden esculent for centuries, and
has been cultivated in field culture in
England for the last century, to tbo
great benefit of tho English soil, and
in the increased production of beef
milttCw a?d fi?e wool. To such a state
of porieciioa have the 2;:g!i-L'
brought the culture of turoips, that
they have revolutionized tho agriculture
of tho Kingdom, and tho turnip
crop of England is annually worth
more than tho cotton crop of tho United
States. Lord Townsend was
among the first to introduce tho field
! culture of turnips into England, and
{ with so mueh assiduity did ho combat
the strong prejudices of his couotryI
men, that in derision they called him
I T?i ??nSrv trr noan <1 to r? aiit
JLUIUI^i Xl/HIIOUIlUi UU^UtllU IIV >?
reaping more substantial benefit from
tuo philanthropic labors of her "Tur.
nip Townsend," tbau from all tbo glory
of her Marlboroughb, Nelsons, or
, Wellingtons. If the turnip crop is so
i valuable to England, how much more
f so may it bo in the Southorn States,
, where thoy do not have to bo pulled
r or housed? Here aro the natural
. pastures of the world, and with the
t Rut;i B;tga and other turnip*, to help
I out the toed, the bouthorn b'.ates can
j surpass England in the production ol
r wool, as much as they do now in cot
ton.
To have early garden turnips, the
o seed should como from a more Northern
latitude. Eirly Dutch Turnips
f may be sown in January and Februi
ary, and in August and September foi
d fall crops. Plant in drill, iwelvo ci
r- fourteen inches apart, and thin out t<
i, six inches for field culture. Sow com
p. mon turnips in August, Septembti
>r ar.d October. The ruta baga shouli
>; bo planted in drills, two loot uparl
it and thinned-out to twelve or fourteei
ie inches. Tbo ruta baga is destine^
y soon to work a great change in Souti
U crn agriculture. They arc as easil
it managed as the climjnon turnip, ar
I? muro nutritive, lroe^>;iouch longer, an
>n afford greens equal to collard*, if nc
l'S superior. Stock of alb kinds are fon

he is not inclined to seed in this climat
tes but this a benefit rather than an ol

A BALL IN THE HAT. I
A Btory wilh a moral is related in ,
Bomo of the papers, attributed, with <
good reason, to Honry Ward Beecher \
We have often heard of a "brick in ,
the bat," -but tbis tale of a six pound .
ball in the bat is quite as ferlile of
wise suggestion. The writer describes
how, when a boy, he surrepticiouBly
took such a ball from the Navy
Yard in Charlestown. and vith mnnh
trepidation end considerable headacho,
carried it off in his hat. The
story concludes with the following
practical reflections, which our
thoughtful readers will doubtless be
able to extend and multiply for themsolvcs:
"When I reached home," he says
"I had nothing to do with my shot.
I did not dare to sho*' in the house,
4 aII vrrlinrn T r*nt if onrl fin P
- ?
or two solitary rolls, 1 gave it away
od tbo same day, to a Prince stroeter.
But after all, that six pounder rolled
a good deal of sonse into my skull. I
think it was the last thing I ever stole
(excepting a little matter of a heart,
now and then,) and it gave me a notion
of the lolly of coveting moro
than you can enjoy, which has made
my whole life happier. It was rather
a severe mode of oatechising. but eth
ics rubbed in with a nix-pounder shot
are bettor than none at all.
But I see men doing the same thing, going
into underground and dirty vaults, and
gathering op wealth which will, when got,
roll around their heads like a ball, and be
1 not a whit softer because it is gold instead
of iron, though there is not a man in Wall
i street who will believe that.
I have seen a man put himself to every
J humiliation to win a proud woman who hac
I been bora above him, and when be got liei
c be walked all the rest of his life with i
* cannon ball in his hat.
7 I have seen young men enrich them
seivets uy pleasure iu iuo sbiuo moo
~ sparing no pain9, and scrupling at oo sac
7 rifice of principle, for the sake at last c
> carrying a burden which bo man cai
11 bear.
All the world are bu9v in striving fo
J things that give little pleasure and brin
P much care; lam accustomed, in all m
k walks among men, noticing their ways an
4 their folly, to think 'There is a man, steal

CULTIVATING ORCHARDS.
Apple orchards left to themselves
bear only on alternate years, with
such uniformity, that "bearing years"
have come to be regarded as the order
of n&ture, rather than a human
devioe. The trees, in average soil, do
not have aliinont enough to give full
crops every year. Cultivation and
manuring will change all this, and
give us remunerative crops every season.
Possibly manuring might do
this even it the orchard were left in
grass. But tho danger is, if the orchard
is left unplowed, it will not got
tho manure.
The common objection offerod to
plowing is the damage done to tho
roots of tho trees. We have no doubt
that an orchard might be plowed so
J 3 A I A 1_ -P A I
ueojj uqu hu uvar tuu bruus. ui tuo
trees as to damage it past hope of recovery.
Bat discretion is to bo used,
and the plow is to be kept so near
the surface under tho trees, as not to
break off the large roots. It has also
been ascertained that grain oropB are
not good for orchards. Wo have
known orchards to be made barren
for several years in consequence of a
crop of rye. Grain crops, unless
1 buckwheat be an exception, take
from the soil what the tree needs, and
shade the land too much. Boot crops
are the moBt desirable, because they
require a good deal of manure and
' thorough tillage to make them profitar
