FEEDING Hoes ON APPLEs.--Among multitude
of farmers il is common observation that sweet ap.
pies may be good for fang hogs but not sour ones.
This is great mistake. If hogs have large run
in an orchard. SO as to find all the variety they de-
sire, they will only ca, a small proportion Of sweet
apples. Even the delicious gate apple and the fall
pppin seem 10 cloy the appetite and they will eat
but few before they will leave them for those of
more acid or other flavor. Their taste in this re-
specl seems like that OF the lovers Of hard cider.
hog weighing, when slaughtered. 300 lbs,
when first put up TO fal,en, ate about one bushel
and half Of souris apples, and about four gallons
of milk and water with three quarts Of bran daily,
with plenty of salt, and il fattened rapidly. Al
the end Of month, one bushe Of apples, with the
same quantity OF milk and bran was sufficient -
This mode Of feeding seemed to fatten the animal
so rapidly as if fed entirely on corn. The pork oil
aDplefed hogs is sweeier than corn.fed, and gener-
ally healthier, inasmuch as apple-fed hogs do moi
become everish, otherwise diseased, even when
closely confined. II permilled to run at liberty III
the orchard which is the best way Of feeding, they
of course consume more than when confined in !
pen. Apple-led pork is as hard as corn-ted ant
The lard is hard and beautifully white.

AFFARs IN MExIco,--We have no news since oar last of iaAerest, regardidg the army. Gen. Wool with the Arkansas volunteers, had reached SaIillo, and there seems to be no probability Of . general movement before spring.
 Santa Anna has been eleete.l President, and sAe Congress of sIexieo-wish hostile force investing her rich cities and towns, whole provinces renouneing theis allegiance, and wiihoat credit or public treasure las made no oycrtures, and evinces no disposi- ,ion towards peace. Before any measures ofa pacific tendency san be considered, it is demsnsIssI :hat our army be withdrawn from every foot of her territory. or the consc- Qnencc will be, resistance until it becomes useless. Should this determination be per- sisted in, we may of course predie, long and i,arrassing war. To what extent under these circumstances, OUT own Congress will support the President with money and men for its sisoroos prosecutions remains to be seen. So far, angry debates and exciting questions have taken tic place of sober reasoning, and no substantial aid has been a6orslssl to the Government.

The Editor of the Democrat expends a vast amount of indignation very aeedlessly when declaring, in . sort ol stump-speech style. that llle 'scontingent fund" appropeia- ted for the contingent expenses Of the Ex- ecatise Department, < is as sacred portion sof sise peoples money as any special appro- psiaiion,n . and that the Governor should be strictly accountable for iis expenditure. How uaiair an attempt this is, to gull his readers, every one can see who has ever lad war Tani, and our neighbor knows as we'll as any, ihat the Governor cannot draw, from this fund, one doIIks, excep. for expenses plainly sta ted in an account, or other instrument, which becomes voucher to the Auditor for it's pay meni, and undereoes as clear an invessiga- tion as the books and papers of the Auditor and Treasures, by the cpmmi,iee always ap- pointed for that purpose, by the Legislature. ll therefore. never was, as he would have is understood, sort of s.secres seEvice' mo nsy, carried by the Governor in his brooches pocket to he Iavlshesi, al pleasure, upon his fay0riies. The arti6ce is shallow enough, and if she Democrat chooses .o risk sialc- nsents so his readers, when they mus. be aware he is not ignorant Of these facts, all we have so say is, we hope he will not put in shs plea that his s'language was linle ambiguous" as he did when he stated that she Auditor drew warrants for double the face of the bills.
 In relation 10 the expenses of the Execn- tive printing, cur unvamished history of .he matter seems to have unsettled his obstinacy, and he has 4dodged the question to bounce upon His ExeeIlency again.
