"The appetite and health Of animals are
promoted BY giving a variety of food. This
fact has led to The preparations for lai,ening
stock. For iai,ening hogs we have used
with advantage the following mixtures.
1. Two parts potatoes and two parts
pumpkins; boil together until they can be
mashed 6ne-,hen add one part meal, stir.
ring and mixing intimately together. The
heat of the potatoes and pumpkins will
scad or cook the meal. and when cold the
mixture will be a stiff pudding. 2. Two
parts potatoes, and two Of ripe, pala,abIe
apples, ,lei,her sweet or sour y boil I'LL they
can be mashed fine-then add one par,
meal, (eilher from corn, barley. or oats

mix together while the potatoes and apples
are hot.

has slightly fermented, mot become pung-

never seen hogs thrive faster than when
fed on these mixtures, with occasionally a
little dairy slop,and we have always found
the pork solid and Of good quality"

Her ample cloak. her shoes of leather
And when they sneered she simply said.

In dubious Hindoo phrase mysterious.

Why girls so Young should be serious.
They knew the length of PIato's beard.

elec, Mr.. Cummings, Of Union county, to
the next Legislature. One Of his friends
visited this county recently. and assured
our opponents here that the responsibility
was upon Junata that Union would do
her duty towards the election Of Mr.. Cum
mings, and that it would only require a
clever majority in this county to ensure his
success And on what ground is this
calculation based! 1t is simply because
Mr.. Cummings has pledged himself to 60
for the repeal of the present Militia law,
and for the repeal Of the present School
law-two Of the most saiutary measure,
that have found place on our statute
book for the last quarter ofa century. Mr..
Cummings would revive the old militia
law, which during eighteen years prior to
its repeal cost our State within a traction
Of $4,000 over and above the entire in.

taxpayers OF pennsylvania desire 10 re-
new this heavy tax. and all for nothing :!
all for the mere fantastic display Of
military parade ? We can not think so
and we shall be disappointed if both Mr.
Cummings and his an,iqua,ed notions do
not meet with a rebuke this fall that will
drive him to better platform when he
next comes before tae people,"
"Unfortunately for Mr.CumminSs, he is
known in this county, and if he does not
make better run in proportion TO the rel.
alive strength Of parties in Union comfy
than he will in this county, he will hardly
ever be heard of after the 9th of October
next. He is welcome 10 all he will make

What loud lament and dismal misery

The cries Of agony. the endless groan.
Which through the ages that have gone before Us

And loud, amid the universal clamor,
Ger distant deserts sounds the Tartar gong.

Wheels out his battlefield with dreadful din
And Aztec priests upon their teOcsliis

And jarrest the celestial harmonies

Or haIfthe wealth bestowed on camps and courts
Given 10 redeem the human mind from error,

And every nation that should ft again
Its hand against brother. on its forehead
Would wear for ever the dire curse of Cain
Down the dark future, 'hro' long generations,
Tho echo,ng sounds grow fainter and then

And like bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations,

A writer in the New York Sun says, il
is injurious to cough leaning forward, as
it serves to compress the lungs, and make
the irritation greater. Persons prone to
this enjoyment should keep their necks
straight and throw out their chest. BY
these means the lungs expand--and the
art of coughing is perhaps as important in
its way as any other.

We find in the Utica Gazette, facts
showing that it is not necessary to select
small trees for transplanting, in order to
ensure their growth. Large trees may b
as successfully planted as small ones.
The mode and result Of an experiment.
made by Messrs. Pomeroy and Dutton, Of
Utica. are thus given: These gentlemen
transplanted trees, comprising naples.
elms, beech, &C., some thirty feet in height,
which we're transplanted without being
shorn of any Of :heir branches. The pro.
cess Of removal was as follows 10 the
fall, before the frost, a trench was dug
around the trees selected, from ten to ii.
teen feet in diameter ,and the roots severed.
In the winter when the ground had become
solid from freezing, the trees were pulled
out by the aid of oxen and levers, with the
mass Of earth firmly attached to the roots.
They were then transported erect on Q
strong sled, built Tor the purpose, and set
out. These trees grew in open land. q
mile and hall from the city. They put
on their foliage last spring as If wholly
unconscious that they were not still in
their native soil, and the en,erprising gen.
llemen who undertook this unusual course,
are rewarded with shade trees which by
the old practice it would have required
twenty years TO produce. This plan is
not novel one. We saw it practsed in
our boy hood, and the giant trees are still
waving their branches as freshly as if
aever transpIanted from their original 10
cation. At the same time that the trench
IS are dug around the selected trees. the
holes should be prepared in the places to
which they are TO be removed.
