been seven emissarics sent from Mexi-
co to Texas, for the purpose Of obtain

sion. It was also rumered, that I,5OO

Monasterio, in addition to Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, Minister of FL
nance. In the paper of the 18th, the
dismissed Ministers are thanked for the
ability with which they discharged
their duties. The Courier says:

FATTEyIxG HOGS.

This il an important article TO the far
mers of North Carolina. | am not prac-
teal farmer myself, but my extensive
travels through lhis State. have thrown
me within tile reach OF many good ex'
pericnce on this subject. Most OF the North
Carolina farmers fatten their hogs upon
carn. Corn Of itself, in raw state, has
been discovered 10 produce cosiiveness|
and fever, after The animal has fed on II a.
alone a few weeks. To avoid these bad
effects, some have let their hogs run al
large at large or in extensive pastures. 10
vet green roots, &c. This helps young
hogs 10 grow. while they increase but
little in fat. Others have the corn made
into a meal and wei with water; sill the
animal Is subject 10 disease, as above te-
scribetl. Some buil their corn; then the
hog is thrifty, but the flesh is not solid.
Some add potatoes; the fatin this case again
is found no, to be firm. An experienced
farmer informs me, that he has. for many
years, raised great many pumpkins, and
never fails 10 have the first quality of
meat when he kills his hogs. This ger
ffeman having made fortune by his skill
in farming, &c, | have been induced 10
believe his experience is good. His fat
lings are confined in close pen. well
supplied with water. weeds. cornsia!ks
and variety OF trash, so that while he Is
making meat he makes an immense
amount Of manure. l was assured that
one hog, ifkep. in pen twelve months
and well supplied with ''litter," would
produce twenty good loads Of mannte.-
This will make corn and pumpkins enough
to raise two hogs the following year. Let
him that readetIl understand. =.

mixture Of weak lyc and coferas leit IN a

will frequently lick, will Cause them TO
