Mlother RobI Ontls 1 R-ew Mate. A friend of uine has a robin's nest that he guards with very great eare, and aboutwhich kh e tells a story to all he young and old peoble who call upon him. "There Ik a romance," he says, as he shows you the nest, "abcut this, and if you want to hear it, I will tell it to you." "It was a good many years ago," my friend begins, "that tlis nest was maldj. There came one morning early In April two robins to the big Jlr-tree in front of my window. Onla ot them had, as sure as you live, a club-foot, and Ie hobbled atout upon it Iin a very lively manner, and I know that It was this one-Mr Robin, I call jimin-that fixed upon thle precise place for tle nest. For he whetted his bill upon a bough a great many times, and then lie danced upon It with one foot and the other, a though trying its strength, and at last. he flw up to Mrs R,biln, who was standing on the limb above looking at, him. My window was open, and I heard 1im peeping the gentlest little song toier thut,you can imagine. Then *he jumped down upon the llinb, rub bed ier bill upon It, and danced, while he looked at her, and after she had done these things site sang the litle melody. After that they flew away with great speed, and the next that I saw of them they were working with might and mai, bringing twigs, moss, twine, and all sorts of things, uitil at 1ast they alitd the nest ma 10. Now my friend, when lie g.ts .o far in his story, always stops a n-onmci.t and laughs, thoughyou cannot see any. thingto laugl at. But lie looks closely at you, and j tust as soon as he observds the siurprise that your eyes show, he says: Ol ought to say right here that my mother had a very choice piece of lace, i collar or som:thing of that sort, that, was washed and put out upon a little bush that very day that Mr and lrs Robin decided to build the nest in the fir-tree. A great fuss was made that evening because the laeo collar could not be fou nd, and mother wianlteti lite police called, so that tile thief might be arrested and the collar got back, for that collar was worth, I have heard, a great mn11y dollirs. lt the pollee never foiid the till 1. "Now 1 will go on wit.11h my story," always continues my Irlend, and he generally takea the nest in his halids at this t.ime. "Well, after this ne;t this is the very oio I hold in my hand -was built, you never saw a more a tenlve lover than this Mr Robin. 1 Ie would hop about with his club-(oot, and Scim to put his eye right, upoin an angle wornm's cave every timn3 .hie iew down to the ground, and you miglit see 1imn Irom early morning to stituset 1lying back and forth with lis mouth full of good things for Mrs Robin, and he would feed hiol as she sat tipon Ihe nest, "One day lie sceimed specially ex-Ite-d and happy ; you could hear li ;n sing lug in the trees more loudly than be fore, and I could see fr1om my window tile cause of his joy. lFour yellow mnonths were lput upi to receive t.he dainties he had brought, and then I knew the littlo robins had comie.

Th'ien the otheor robin flew away to bl< O impaiionis, and1 after singIng a little, they all went off' toget her.

PIRoFIT IN lloos.-In raising hogs, a In other departments of live stock ius bandry, the interest or the farmer is t get the most money for his care, labo and feed. Jt has boon shown repeat edly by exporiniots that well-bre Berkshires and Poland-Whina swin, will, under favorable circumstances prottuce twelve pounds of pork for i bushel of corn. These instances nal; not be very numerous, but they shov what can be done and done withou much dilliculty. From a list of ox periments in feeding swine made It several States, the lowest average wn: live and three-quarter pounds o1 porl to a bushel of corn fed on the ground and the highest an average of twentj pounds, made by feeding a pair of pig green corn in the ear. From thirtee experiielits made, the average Io overy bushel of corn was 10 pounds o pork. With a good breed of swin properly cared for, five and sixteceithi pounds of* corn ought so produce on< pound of pork. This is a better averag< thati is generally obtained, but it Is bo. possible and practialble. Inistead o six poun(18 to the bushel-whilh Is fair est,imate with Inferior ailnals t< eoIRnsume the grain-the farmer ough not to be content with less than teo pounds. It is not dihfliuilt to eleullill what. on Is dolig in feedlng corn i1 hogs in tile way or retriis. If oil bushel t,f corn represenits ten ponlids o pork, and the price of pork Is $3 pe Iun idred, the farmer is receIving 3 cens per bushel for his corn, ,And i pork is $4 per hundred lie is getitig 4 cents for corn.
