COHN AND HOGS. From carefully conducted experiments by different persons, it has beeen ascertained that one bushel of corn will make a little over 10 1-2 pounds of pork—gross. Taking the result j..is a basis, the following deductions are made, all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference—That When corn costs 12 1-2 cents per bushel, pork costs 1 1-2 cents per pound. When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. YVhen corn costs 33 cents per bushel, pork costs 4 cents per pound. W hen corn coats 50 cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound. The following statements show what the fanner realizes in his corn when sold in the form of pork: W hen pork sells for 3 cents per pound, it brings 25 cents per bushel in corn. When jairk sells for 4 cents per pound, it brings 32 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 5 cents per pound, it brings 45 cents per bushel in corn. LiqriD Gi I E. —A strong liquid glue that will keep for years without changing, may be made by placing in a glazed vessel a quart of water and about three pounds of hard glue. This is to be melted over u gentle tire in a glue pot, and stirred up occasionally. When alltheglue is melted, drop in gradually a small quantity of nitric acid, w hen effervescence will gradu ally take place. The vessel is then to be ta ■! ken off’the fire and allowed to cool. Liquid glue made in this manner, has been kept for more than two years in an uncorked liottle, without any change. It will houseful for ma , ny trades, where a strong glue is required with- I out the trouble of melting. ■ Proverbs. —Better die an old maid, than 1 marry a drunkard. Great passion- necessarily expose their jios- I sessor to great sacrifice. Most men employ their first years, so as to make tiieir last miserable. He w ho follows in the footsteps of another, will always remain behind. Brave actions are the substance of life, and good sayings the ornament of it. The trials of life are the tests which ascer tain how much gold there is in us. There are reproaches which give praise and praise which give reproaches. , It is easier to reprove a thousand sins in otlnTs than tomortifv one in ourselves, SELECT SCHOOL rpHE exercises of B. M.
