Various'opnions prevail in regard 10 tht

hence we would urge the importance ofin-

Besides careful selection of seed, il is
strongly recommended lhat the seed, he

of preparing seed wheat is thought TO be

think il renders the plant less subject TO the
attacks of insects. BE this as il may. by

IMPROVEMENT IS The HONE BREEDING
ar HOGS.

Beaufort, Jaiy, lS4l.
Ma. EDIToR:-Believing thai our PLAN
ters are beginningio be aware of the ne
cessi,y of rnisipg n, home as much as pos,
siblc, and Of the consequent necessity OF
improving the breeds of domestic animals,
| have thrown together few remarks
about Hogs. particularly Berkshire Hogs,
the result Of much reading and reflection,
and Iitlc experience, in hopes that they
may prove acceptable TO such Of your read
crs as may desire TO begin.
There are many improved breeds OF
swine, each OF which has lis merits and
advocates. yet | feel lilllc hesitation in say
ing that for all purposes of The planters in
our low country, who aspire only 10 raise
bacon and pork enough for their own use,
and who prefer moderate sized hams DC,
aud NOT too fat, the Bcrkshircs are decided
ly the hes, breed Of hogs yet known. The
best description Of them which have seen
is that given by a. B. Allen, Of Buffalo,
in an article on hogs, published in the Al
bany Cultivator for January. l54n, and
which will extract. But :he most de-
cidcd improvement lin swire,) and which
by the care aud skill of recent breeders hes
now nearly attained perfection, was that oi
the black Samesc boar, upon the old
stock of Berkshire County. The Ecrk-
shires were then mostly long, large,
coarse. lop cared hog, ola sandy or red
dish drown. or white with black spots, and
coming up not unfrequcnlly, TO the high
weights Of eight hundred, and even one
thousand pounds. But it was slow feed
cr. long in attaining 10 maturity, an
enormous consumer, and in common with
mos, of EnSland's other varieties. an un-
profitable beast. Yet possessing rather
thicker hams and shoulders than the other
kinds, louser fuller body, and its most
aboundng greatly in lean, the little, short.
fat, black mouse cared Sinmcsc told well
in the cross; and thus was produced the
dark splendid Berkshire, that at present
occupies the same rank amoug hogs that
the Durhams DO among cattle. They
mature quickly, and like the Chinese, eau
he fa,tcned nj any nsc, and still may be
selected. when desirable, for great sizes;
nrc prolific breeders (havins from len 10
fifteen pigs twice year, and the best Of
nurses; thrifty. hardy. aud Of most excel
lent constitution. They are fine in their
points. possessing remarkable thickness in
the ham aud shoulder, and show a round,
smooth barrel Of good length, that gives a
large proportion Of side pork. They have
liule offal, lIin rind and hair, aud few or
no brislles. Tho meat still abounds greatly
in muscle. and the hams particularly are
highly prizcd,c d,colnmnndins an extra price in
market, being very tender, juicy aud lean" !"
The objections that would probably be
urged against any improved breed Of hogs,
are that they would require too much caro-
and feed, that they would be too large,

An alarming Fire occurred in this place on We'd
resdsy last, "a, about o'clock, p. m. The fire first
broke out in the stable Of Mr.. Frederick Lazarus
near The rail road. The wind al the time blow
ing pretty strongly 10 the n. West, and before any
assistance could be rendered, the whole stable was
dan, Esq, on the opposite side Of the alley, in con-
sequence Of the intense heat, the wind bearing d-
rectly upon it, was soon wrapped in flames. twas
with some difficulty that his horse carriages, &c.
got out of the buildings. The flames soon ex.
tended TO the stable of the adjoining lot occupied
by Mr.. Dawson, which, like the others, filled with
hay, soon beyond all hope of recovery from the
flames. At this point, the wind having changed,
the progress of the flames were arrested. In the
meanwhile, the dwellings of Mr.. Jordan and Nh
Lazarus were in imminent danger, the fire having
broken out on the roof. in different places. The
dwelling occupied by Mr. Dawson, and also that Of
Mrs. Finney, on fire several times, but with
much difficulty were saved. The loss was thus con-
fined to the three stables owned by Merssrs. La
zaIus, Jordan and loxihemer, the whole loss OF
which will amount to about 5000. Blu, this is not
all. The beautiful garden of Mr. Jordan, and those
Of his neghhors. with their shrubbery and trees,
have sustained loss that cannot bo readily re.
paired.
The fircmcn and citizens generally, labored faith
| fully and diligently in subduing the flames The
ladies in particular were, usual on such occl.
sions, among the most active on the ground. We
were also indebted 10 the Judges and members .
| the bar, and others attending the Supreme Court
now in session at this place. Our neshboEs froI,

coal almost exclusively for fuel fires not of lre
qucnt occurrence in this place. The alarm wa
consequently great, while the fire at one time pre-
scented fearful aspect, when the stables were burn
ing and the four houses on the street had caught il
various places. The sudden veeIiug of the vino
and the active exertions Of the fremen and citizen.
was probably all lha, saved us from great and in
pending calamity.
The five, it is supposed, was caused by a spar
from The locomotive engine on the rail rond.
