Profit of Hogs. DEAR EXPOSITOR,—As many farmers think there is no,profit in li ing hogs, I willgive you s experience in this line. March last, I bought two paid six dollars. I fed the 15th of August, vhen they a half months o strict account of and what I paid sold them weig eeping and feed - me of My own On the 2nd of ige for which I e rigs until the were seven and d I sold them. 1 kept everything I fed to them for it. The pigs when I ed 450 pounds and their feed cost me exa tly $8 50, and my profit on the two pigs wasleitaetly $8 50 iithat is I received for them just that much ;more than they cost me in eie first place and the feed given to them fronothe time I got them un- til I disposed of them. I fed 100 pounds of barley and 1001 pounds of small wheat. I fed these to see if they are as good as middlings, but I do not think them as good or as cheap. These pigs were half Berk- shire and half Tamworth. aye done surely any far- ery farmer on a hundred t least twenty hogs a year, clear profit on hogs alone 00 et year, besides getting his young pigs if he breeds d a good price for the grain s on his farm.

This charming summer eesort is situated at the western extremity of Lake Muskoka. Here the waters of Lakes Jos- eph, Rosseau and Muskoka flow over two beautiful falls into the bluskosh river, down which they make their wey,, over numerous falls and cascades to the Georgian Bay. This Mnskosh river is a paradise for the eaglet.. It abounds in pickerel, base and maskinonge, and is said to be °tie of the best fishing grounds in t e Muskoka Dis- trict. Fishing, however, is by no means the only attraction that Bala possesses. To the toil- worn ones, weary with the hurry and bustle of modern life, no more restful place can be found than Bala. Nestling round the head of Bala Bay, the very aspect of the place is restful. This feeling of rest becomes more real as day after day you find meny • shady nooks, where you may while away the time in dreamy meditation, in enjoying your favorite author or perchance be lulled to sleep by the murmuring of the fall. Then, too, there are many delightful walks in all directions, through the pine wood's ;or by the water's edge, the pedestrian fintling new beauties at every turn.

As the sun sinks towards the west behind the waters of the Muskosh the whole river is flooded with a golden glory that recalls- the description giyen of the streets of the Nets Jerusa- lem, " pure •gold, transparent ti.s glass." And long after the glovring orb is hidden behind the western horizon th floating clouds are tinged with ever wield. g gorge- ous hues, gradually becoming sof* and less brilliant, until at last the shades Of evening fall and hide the scene from \dime Every visitor at Bala must be struck with the- quietness of the Sabbath there. All business is, of course suspended, the boat- house is closed, and, 'instead of spending the day in pleasure -seeking, many, both of resi- dents and visitors, attend ssrvi,le io the neat little Presbyterian church, erected a few years ago. A student, sent out by the Home Mission committee, is in charge, but during the tourist season one of the visiting clergymen generally conducts the monde% service. I should like to call attentiou to one fact, of which every white-ribboner at least ought to be cognizant. Mr. Burgess, post master and proprietor of Bala, is a life-lorig total abstainer, and carries out his principles in a very practical manner. In every deed or lease of land a proviso is inserted that no liquor shall be sold on the premises—the re- sult is what might be expected—peace and order and morality prevailing. But to de- pict all the attractions of Bala would re- quire a more gifted pen than mine. If, however, there are among youe readers any who are longing for rest land renewed health, let them try Baly for a few weeks, and they will cease to wonder why the ac- commodation is searcely adequate for the crowd of tourists who annually gather there. • A SEAFOSITH VISITOR. ton; ng 18 ci the ti est, although latest re- t oper tions .have been delayed by sh Avers. of Hon.
