AG R IC I'LL TU R AL,
From the NelC York Farmer and Mechanic
Fattening Hogs.

Friend Stdrr;-As this is the season for fat
tening Pork, few remarks upon the subject may
not be undressing to your numerous agricul-
tural readers.
To fatten a hog or an OK where there is plen-
ty of corn and potatoes requires no great skill,
but to do it in manner that will render the ami
NAL more valuable to the farmer when fit for
market than the substance consumed in fattening
would be, besides paying for the trouble of doing
it, is matter worthy of consideration. The
summer of 1886 being very dry my corn and
potato crop came in light and compelled me to
well that have since followed it to my entire
satisfaction. 1t was this: adopted the feeding
apples, of which had an abundant crop mixec
with pumpkins, few potatoes, and small guam

Her Son soOgged to death for an attempt to gain his
Freedom
o God what sound is in my car?
My brain grows weak and wild,
What l, a MOTHER doomed to hear
The death-shriek of my child
And may not cannot, burst away
My chain, 50 strong, so FAST
Then letmy spirit go, pray,
And be this breath my last
But hush, no more that doleful wall
Comes to my sickened ear,
Dread silence better speaks the tale
could not bear to hear.
Well, be it so; twere better far
To die by their oppression,
Than bear the guilt the souls must bear
Guilty of their transgression.
o, righteous heaven, was it for this
Our nation was created?
To find no rest, to know no peace,
But toll instead and hatred?
0, wilt thou not ayenge our race,
And bid us live again?
Or cease to give us name or place
Among the sons Of men.
For, rather let me cease to be,
Than dwell where human hands
Lift high the "banners of the free"
Above their blood-staned lands:
Where men can in thine image see
Earth's viest, meanest things;
Then bend the knee in mockery
Before Thee, King of kings!
O wait not long, Almighty Friend,
Our suAerings toredress;
But no,o thy powerful, arm extend
And bid oppression cease. LIZ

THE SUGAR CROP.

The Franklin Planters Banner says: "Many
of our planters have commenced rolling, but with
= few exceptions, the yield is not good. The
general complaint is ofthe dryness and hardness
Of the cane. However, they are now working
poor raroon, "unft for seed;" and we think, on
the whole, if there is no early frost, the turn out
will be pretty good. Some crops will yield fine-
ly, while others will prove almost failure
News from the coast and Lafourche is Of the
same import. So far, the calculation is that tho
crops of the State will be short one-fouTth, al
though there is very large increase in the guam.
tity ofcane planted"
We have slready once or twice noticed the
superior sugar cane Of this season grown on the
uplands. In the ST. Evansville Chronicle Of
the 18th ult. we find the following on the sub
jeet:
DR.. w. Wilcox, who has fairly embarked in
the culture of sugar on the uplands Of our parish
nine miles from the river, has sent US specimen
Of his cane. The stalk we received had twenty
six good sized sugar joints, which we learn is
not the only tall cane on his place. We notice
these evidences Of fine growth with great plea
sure, because they go to show what has hereto
fore been matter of some doubt-that the soil Of
our uplands is not inferior to that on the river
for the culture Of sugar.
The Baton Rouge Gazette holds to the opn.
ion that the highland crops Of cane will turn out
we'll; better than those on the coast.

Capt. Murphy has been despatched by Gen.
Kearney, TO The United States (he arrived at st.
Louis this day weekly to get specie to pay the
troops, and arrangements have been made TO
transport $4,000 in gold to Santa Fe.
Major Walker, and other paymasters, were
supplied some time ago, with treasury drafts Of a
small denomination, in the belief that the traders
at Santa Fe would take them, and that thus the
soldiers could be paid off. A miscalculation!-
These traders will not touch them. They know
nothing about Uncle Sans promises, and will
touch nothing but gold and silver. Government
officers could do nothing with these drafts, except
submitting to a heavy shavel

HoGS-PORK PACKING.

The middle Of the month is now at hand, but
every thing is still quiet in this city. We hear
of no contracts, and very little is said about
prices. One or two Eastern packers, who gen.
orally operate pretty extensively here, have ar.
rived but are as yet only loookers on. The
country press is anxiously looking 10 the city
press for the t0Ord; but no cue goes forth. Con-
trary TO usual custom, the Cincinnati press must
this season begin by echoing that of the country
and neighborng cities. And we begin as fol-
lows:
The Madison (Iu.) Banner ofthe the / llh inst.
says: "The market has opened in this city at
S2,39-a contract for lot of thousand head
having been made at that price, and 81 500 ad-
vanced upon it."
The Louisville Courier Of the 18th says:
"Buyers are offering 50 so nett, and 81 ,75aSl, 81
on foot. No transactions have transpred."
The ST. Louis Republican Of the 9th says:
ave can hear Of no contracts having been made
for packing since our last. For hogs there is no
price settled upon by dealers, but the general
opinion is that it will range from $3.50 TO $500
per 100 pounds, according to weight and quail.
ity."
The following paragraph is from the Eston,
(Preble county, o. Register, Of the l2th:
"Farmers are now beginning to inquire about
what will be the price of Pork. We have seen
nothing that will enable us to form any estimate
as to the probable market price. Barrel meat
has improved some recently, and the price may
be better than was anticipated. ltis thought by
all those who raise pork that the price will be
low; hence there will not be as much brought
into market as there would otherwise have been,
and this msy tend somewhat 10 improve the
market. From the Upper Mississippi we learn
there is great surplus Of Pork Of the finest quail
ily. Some engagements have been made at
s2,q5."
We like the circumspection with which our
Cincinnati friends are moving this season. Lei
them persist, and they and the city will both be
gamers thereby. When they have fully made
up their minds as to the price they can safely
pay for Hogs, let them take hold with will.
Pay that freely, openly and frankly. But do not
resort to the premium" system so much in
vogue here Of late years, or to any Of the other
little tricks by which dealers sometimes coun.
teract the efforts Of each other and run up prices
| If competition from abroad enters the market,
stand against it or move with it just so long as
there is safety in doing so. But not one hour
longer. There is neither glory nor profit in
strife Of this kind-as the experience Of last
year, not to 90 further back, strikingly demon
strates.

BANKS IN WISCONSIN.

have modified Mr.. Ryan's Article on Banking
and adopted in the following form:

is attributed by the papers of the Government to
the inIrigues Of the monarchisls.
"A express arrived al Vera Cruz on the slst
ult., which announced that during the nigh, of
the 18th there was another alarm in the capital,
similar to the l4lh, which was quieled, afier some
moments Of cohyulsion. We bitterly regret these
commo'ions, says FL indicator, because il they

The Mexicans appear TO be perfectly apprised

call upon the troops in the interior TO move to the
defence Of the city and fortress.

that can reasonably be expected Of those who
remain al home, and rejoice in the Prowess Of
our Volunteer soldiery, and the success of our
arms abroad, is that they care for the families
of those soldiers, and see to it that they are
timely furnished with every needful supply
This IS the very cheapest way in which they can
manifest their patriotism.
AT the close Of the meeting in Cincinnati, Mr..
Henry Rockwell, proprietor Of the Mammoth
Circus, authorized the Secretaries 10 offer 10 the

RELIEF OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

A public meeting was held by the citizens of
Cincinnati, on Monday last, over which Judge
Reed presided, the object of which was TO devise
ways and means TO relieve the families of the
Volunteers from that region, now in Mexico
This is commendable movement, and should
be followed in all those places where Volunteers
have been raised. Surely it is enough to ask
of any man, that he forego the pleasures and
comforts of family and of home, 10 encounter

camp-that he put his life in jeopardy, in an in

POST OFFICE RECEIPTS.

The contrast between the receipts from the

TOO bad that the principal opposition should como
from the latter 10 the new law. A very good

each State to its own mail facilities. How many
