FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Swine IlrcetUnK* The Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture discussed this subject, and in its discussion Mr. Harris, of New York, said it must be admitted, as a rule, that ' the true office of the pig was to use and ecouomize food which would otherwise bo wasted or sold at a profit, but still farmers could sometimes better afford to feed corn or wheat to well-bred pigs than to sell it at the market price. He did not know any more profitable branch of farming than raising pigs and selling them at four months for from $7 to $8 a head. He was certain that pigs could be raised that would dress moro than fifty pounds at four months old, and by studying the wants of the market and paying more attention to quality, we should be able to hold our own against the West. The aim should be to produce choice meat and rich manure. Mr. Harris said he had endeavored to find out how much pork there was in a pound of corn, and he 1 ad found that two pounds of corn would produce a little more than one pound of increase. Liberal feeding while the pig was growing would not only be moro economical but they would get more rather than less meat. One hundred pounds of corn, over and above the amount required to sustain the vital functions, was capable of producing sixty-one pounds of dressed pork. Science had produced a pig nearly perfect in form, with a small proportion of bone and offal, and what was now wanted was a pig with strong digestive apparatus. The pig must have a good appetite in order to make pork, and sliould be kept warm, dry and happy in his pen, with no disposition to runabout . and stick his nose into other people's business. The restless native pig required twenty-two pounds of corn a week to keep him alive, while the quiet and ntorlif.nfivo Vaoor vxirr milvr nno/1o<1 flu'i. UtVUtVUVilV AJkK^A |/1 ^ V/m J UUOUtVl tliu. teeu pounds; and he believed a pig could be bred that would do even better than that. In feeding pigs, the first object should be to reduce the cost of running the machine. If pigs were kept in a damp, wet, or dirty pen, more food was required to keep up the heat of the body. Regular feeding was important, because irregularity in this respect induced restlessness and iudigestiou. If two pounds of corn, over and above the amount required to sustain the vital functions, was capable of producing a pouud of dressed pork, farmers should understand that every extra two pounds of corn required to keep up the heat in cold, damp pons, was an actual loss, not of two pounds of corn, but of one pound of dressed pork. On the subject of pig-manure, Mr. Harris said he estimated that he got 41J cents' worth of manure a week from a pig whose food cost him 371 cents. II : presented tables showing the value ol the manure obtaiued from feeding various kinds of grain anil roots. Pig manure was very liable to bo wailed, then: was so much urine connected with it, and great care should bo taken to absorb the liquid, which w?3 a very powerful manure. Wlicrnt?Broaden*! and Drilled. Dr. E. M. Pendleton, Professor ol Agriculture in the Georgia btato Collegi of Agriculture, lias made some experi ments iu sowing wheat broadcast, and it drills, the results being largely iu favoi of the latter system. In the iirst placi less than half the quantity of seed it required per acre, if sown in drills, that broadcast, this being no small item saved where a largo area of land is cultivated. The yield reported is nearly fifty pei cent, in favor of drilling, besides, foi every bushel of wheat obtained from broadcast sowing, one hundred and thirty-seven pounds of straw were pro(IhpoH orwl fwim flio MUv/uvk) wxva iium VUU Ul&UC\l UUIJ UUXU^J* nine pounds. From this showing it would appear that a raau in raising thirty bushels of wheat per acre in drills, gets a half ton les3 straw than by the broadcast system; consequently drilled wheat is the least exhaustive of fertility iu proportion to the amount of grain produced. In the experiments referred to, it was further shown that culture of the growing crop?- produced decidedly beneficial results. After the crop was well started in spring, a subsoil plow was run between each two rows, breaking qp the earth, but throwing none against the plants. If stirring the soil about corn in summer is beneficial, we can see no good reason why it should not be for the young wheat plant. Whether the increase iu yield and quality of grain will be sufficient to pay the extra cost of culture remains to lie determined by a series of experiments extending through several years. uno or two failures 01 successes are not to be taken as conclusive in demonstrating the value or worthlessness of such systems of culture. Farm Notea. Sawdust is bad for floors of the hennery. Fowls are likely to pick it up and fill their crops with it, and it is bail fox them. A clean earth floor is far better. Even a plank floor is better. No one has yet discovered that pari* Sreen, applied to potato vines to kill the olorado potato beetle, poisons the tuber. On the contrary, careful experiments made to detonnine the fact prove that it does not. If you want to increase the wood growtli the coming season prune any time before the sap starts, only you are not advised to choose a day when the wood is frozen. If the object is to secure fruit the following season, prune in June, which will chock the growth of , wood and develop fruit buds. Millet should not be sown with oats. It should be sown separately and later? say last of Mav to 10th or 15th of Jnn? ?<>n clean well-pulverized land and cut (if for forage) wnen in bloom and cured like other grasses. It is ?u annual plant and the sowing must be repeated each year. The Prosperity of France. Recent tables published by the French government show that the exports and imports of 1874 amounted to over 81,800,000,000, excoeding any former year, and showing an increase over 1873 of $56,000,000, and over 1868, when the Empire was in the tide of prosperity, of nearly $280,000,000. Tins shows that there is marvelous prosperity iu France, that the war has not diminished the thrift, industry and enterprise of that extraordinary people. SUMMARY OF SEWS.

Extraordinary Scone in a Church. The Manchester Courier says: On Sunday morning the service at tlio Irongate cathedral, at Albury, was interrupted in a somewhat alarming manner. The service had proceeded to the reading of tho prayers, when Captain Syrnes, a member of tho congregation, was observed to leave his seat. He at once aseended the stairs and entered the pulpit. Closing the door, he stretched forth his hands and addressed the congregation. , He said ho was commissioned by God to deliver a messago which would not be heard with favor. At this juncture several of the church ollicials rushed up , to tho pulpit stairs and begged the gallant captain to desist. The request was , met by the captain drawing a sword from I a sheath which was concealed under his coat, and waving it above his head, he said that if any person interfered with him iu the delivery of his message lie f would run him through to the heart. 5 A precipitate retreat was made by the ollicials, and in the meantime Captain 1 Symes proceeded to address the congre: gutiou, warning them that it was his duty 5 to tell them that perdition was their fate 5 if they coutinuned in their present faith. 1 Mr. Armstrong, a barrister at law, and L an intimate friend of Captain Symes, left his seat, and running up the pulpit stairs begged him to come down. The captain raised his sword, and striking Mr. 1 Armstrong acroas the hand nearly severed I- one of his lingers. The alarm caused " by tlii3 extraordinary conduct was very great. The ladies of tho congregation < screamed, and many of them fainted. The male nnrtinn of fho mnrewmitinn left their seats, and, assembling in knots 1 in the aisles of the church, called to ' Captain Symes to come down. One ' gentleman, undeterred by the injury in 1 llieted on Mr. Armstrong, ascended the pulpit stairs to expostulate with the cap1 tain. The only reply hq received was the presentation at his head of a loaded revolver. Hearing the click of the weapon ho slid down the stairs on his back, and hid behind the staircase. Duriug this scene the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, who are regular attendants of the church, left their seats. The Duchess fainted, and was carried 1 from the church by her attendants. Captain Symes had now full .possession of the pulpit, and, striking the sword on the Bible, he was proceeding in a loud tone to deliever what he termed his i message, amid the screaming of the females and the vociferous calls to "come down" of the men. The officials of the church had by this time armed ' themselves with long poles, and with these they went to the pulpit, and after a tremendous scuffle succeeded in knocking the sword aud revolver out of the J hands of the captain. They then laid ; hold of him, and lugged him down the pulpit stairs. A ropo being procured he was bound with it, and and foot , and tied to one of the pillars of the ' building. Mr. Parke, of the county > police, was sent for, atul the captain was ' given into his charge. He was taken almost immediately before Mr. R. I hoy, 1 one of the county magistrates. Two surgeons were ordered to examine him I and on their certificates ho was removed ' to a lunatic asylum. 1 The Coolie Trade. Mr. Myers, of Pennsylvania, introduced in the United States House a bill having especial reference to tho coolie trade. It provides that when immigrants have entered into a contract or agreement for a term of service with tho United States, either for lewd or improper |Miijiuwnt nuuil llUili^r<lblUII rvilllli ItWl?

It ulso makes the , immigration of the following classes un' lawful: Persons who aro undergoing i sentence for felonious crimes other tliau political or whose sentence has bein remitted on account of their immigration, and women imported for the purpot es of prostitution.

Mr. Myers, of Pennsylvania, introduced a 1 bill supplementary to the acts in relation to ^ immigration. Referred to the committee on j I foreign affairs. The bill hats reference ospeI cially to the coolie trado. It provides that ! when immigrants have entered into a contract f j or agreement for a term of service within tlio , United States, cither for labor or for lewd or { improper purposes, such immigration shall not , bo deemed voluntary, and the United States , Consul shall not deliver tlio required permit or , certificate.

Mr. Tyuor, of Illiuois, who lind charge of tho bill, explained it, and stated that tho expouso of tho department was five per cent, less than last year, wnile tho incrcuso of business was eight to ten per cent. more. Mr. Ilolinau, of Indiana, moved to amend by adding a proviso to the railway mail transportation item, providing that no money should be used to increase the rate of compensation to i i any railway company beyond that now paid ; the amendment was lost.

Housetop gardens, says the Gardener's | Afat/azinc, have not attained to the imi portunce predicted of them in tho days i when the lowering of the price of glass j brought that useful article into demand i for a thousand uses untliought of preI vi iusly.

I A housetop garden not only provides a I souree of pleasure, and it may bo even | of prolit, in itself, but it adds materially ! to the comfort of a dwelling by equaliz- i I ing the temperaturo of the upper | rooms. By screening the sunshine ! from the roof, the suffocating heat that ! often prevails in houses in the height of j summer is abolished, and in the depth ; of winter the chambers nearest the roof J I are some degrees warmer than they I would bo were the roof exposed to the ' ; chilling influence of wind and frost and snow. To the Suffering. An old retired physician, who is candid enough to tell the truth al>out progress, has declared that the recent discovery by I>r. Walker, of California, of Ids herb remedy, Vinegar Bitters, is one of the most importaut in medicine. Ho has tested them thoroughly, in his own family, among his friends, and irport himself; and lie is driven to the conclusion that they possess rare and unexcelled curative properties. He says of ! them: "They contain no dangerous , drug. They never reduce the patient? ; never render one liable to take cold? j never interfere with the overy-day business of life?never make their continuous use ft condition of cnrc, and aro adapted to even the moat delicate organization. They act oa. kindly on the tender infant, the delicate female, or infirm old age, oh on the rigorous and athletic system; exercising healthful effects upon every l)lood vessel?on the brain, 'nerves and lymphatics?on the blood, bile, gastric juice, etc., enriching impoverished fluids, and imparting vigor to mind and body." ?

A very interesting case, and one sho lg in n strong light the necessity f lie formation in all parts of the con y of societies similar to one recent irmed in New New city for the preve 011 of cruelty to children, was on tri fow days since in n county court in Western State.
