SALT FOR ctTTI,E1

We are fully impressed with the idea that a
free and constant feeding OF salt 10 cattle, IS essen
a TO their good condition, especially at distance
from salt water The cattle on our stock farm
have nothing but ordinary pasture, but we take
care to keep salt always within their rench
for which purpose we invariably put some
in conscnien, places III the barn yald every alter
nate day, and his whether the previous supply
has been exhausted or not Chat the rule may not
by broken by forgetfiIness) II was feared thai
they would ca. too much, but experience proves
that they will only take the proper Quantity how
ever much may he laid before them. The effect Is
visible To every eye, in the high condition Of al!
the animals, and particularly in the quantity and
quality of tao milk and butter OF the mich
COWS. The sal, gives tone TO the digestive organs,
and consequently insures good appetite, and u
uniformly beautiful state Of the bowels. The re-
set is high and iealthfu condition ofthc young
stock ana an increased quantity of rich milk from
the mixers. The good appetite induced by II has
another important advantage II induces uhe cat
tie TO IN, much Of the rank grass and heritage OF
the pasture, which would be- passed over by more
delicate appeties. We often SEQ cattle in Pastures

may not, jus. as it happens; but they certainly do

this We can Judge by ourselves Who could pos
slbiy do with water only al certain times and these
times always the same? Wilhhc human species
this would be insupporlabe. Ills the same with
ai! animals, and the whole beneft OF water de

The support and nurture Of animal life and health Is
least capable OF being regulated in It's admlnstra-
tons by times aud seasons. Animals that have
free to salt require water oilener than those
that have no salt bu. those that are sailed lrIegu
lary require constant access to water more than
any others, their thirst is i6u in proportion to
the irregulsri,y Of their sailing.
Let those who have been careless IN this matter
try the experiment Of giving salt regularly and
peniitully every other day with constant access 10
pure water, and the int royed condition Ct their
stock in one month, will induce them 10 continue
the practice hereafter They will never again see
their cattle licking one another & filling their s,o-

OF SWINE AT III
SOI1TH

An extensive farmer in Twiggs county, has
given Us some additional particulars on this subject
He makes iron, 40 to $4,000 weight OF bacon an
nualiy. His hogs roam at large TIL late IN
the summer When his sweet potatoes and peas
begin to get ripe, he has his hogs turned III upon
them, one field at time aud allowed to remain UNI
iii pretty well cleared. They arc then turned into
another field, and so on. He never loses any of his
hogs by this course-as often happens when fed
upon peas alone-he thirks potatoes and peas pre-
ferabe TO either separate A short time before
killing he puts them in pens and gives them corn.
His hogs are the common breed. Has at this
time about $50 head. He plants potatoes aud
peas in every field especially for this purpose.

something SO cool and temperate, that its seems
impossible, while we breathe it, that our hearts
should be frozen and ungra,efu or that Trey should

" He who can stand forth beneath the autuE,nal

can then limit his desires to a world thai shall SO

That they have been subjects of complaint out

and rcprchonsibc; whatever may be the character
of the agreement between us and England, as mat

Justification of my vote the party tone, and par

then, repeat, is to be the return? What is Party

Now ~ happens, that ell those gentlemen hold,
that no treaty, N the diplomatic sonsc of the term,
can be made with the InGi,ns. that u amounts to
nothing more than agreement, or contract
which need not be submitted To the Senate for its
ratification. Tho last lease, bears date on the
same day with the list treaty, so that the treaty
was promulgated to Mr.. Lewis at least; and MIR.
Lewis, in order To his title, has put his lea

day supported hiss resolution with his usual ability;
and b"iorc he took his seat, modified 1T by calling
for the 5th article of the treaty of LIST Sept. 1880,
the lease made under it, and tho lease of October

lie was replied to by Mr.. Bell. Mr.. Huntingdon
spoke nearly an hour i'll support of tho resolution

than Mr.. Everett attempted. 1t is hoped every
word said for and against tho resolution may b,
noted -his is only the commencement, of the
exposures that viii L. made.
