EXPERIMENTS WITH BOILED POTATOES.

No fact in rural economy is better estab-
lished. than that cooked food is far more
more valuable for feeding animals, than the
same food when given in crude or uncook..
ed state. Probably every practical man is
aware of this, yet very few avail themselves
of the advantages it is calculated to secure.
Last season commenced boiling potatoes
for hog, allowing him one peck a day,
and the same time shut up his mate-about
the same size,-the first being only five
pounds heavier, and began giving him un-
cooked potatoes. They were both fed at
the same time, morning, noon and night,
and both were allowed all they would con-.
sumo. Now while the peck Of boiled pota-
toes amply suficed for the first, the, peck of
unboiled ones did not suffice for the second;
he was restless, continually traversing his
pen and sqealing as if in distress, while the
first took his breakfast, and then quietly re.
tired to his straw where he enjoyed his
siesta till his dinner arrived, which was pre-.
cisely at l2 o'clock, M. Aware that the
allowance was insufficient for the wants of
the system, increased it, giving him twelve
quarts per day instead of eight, the quantity
with which had commenced. This kept
him somewhat more quiet, yet at times his
old restlessness would return, with its usual
accompaniment-squealing, but no. farther
alteration was made, and he continued TO
receive his twelve quarts per day--four at a
meal-till the experiment was completed,
and both put up "to fat" On weighing
the two, found that the one fed OH one peck
of boiled food, had gained one hundred
pounds in three months, while the one fed
on raw food, had increased in weight but
fifty.six, scarcely more than the increase of
growth-and the start which the first one
thus gained, kept him in advance of the
other till bsh were brought to the tub.
Some may say that the cost of fuel, and
time in cooking, would be moro than an
equivalent for the forty-four pounds gain;
and so perhaps it would; but it is not con-
templated to cook with ordinary apparatus,
or for one hog only. Where there are sew
eral to feed, the farmer can afford to fur.
nsh himself with stcaming apparatus,
which will render the business both economi-
CAL and easy to perform.--A Montgomery
County Farmer, IN Germantown Telegraph.

"THE FIRE-BELL IN THE NIGHT"

When Mr. Jefferson spoke of the excitement growing out
Of the Missouri Compromise in ls2o2l he said it was
like fre-bell in the night in its effect upon the friends
of our beloved Union But what must think of the APP
pang dangers to existence free people portended
by the daily indications Of the times To hostility to
the domestic institutions of the South and hostility TO the
guaranteed and covenanted rights religious and POLITICAL
OF hundreds and thousands of best citizens made the
twin issues upon which great party in the North is built
up excited and maintained is we'll calculated to inspire
widespread alarm But if this side of the picture is
gloomy what must we say when serious
men in the South to aid and build up that northern nat
cism whose must be the dissolution Of the Union,
and the destruction of the neress both of the North
and the SOUTH The last demonstrations in Ohio and in
Indiana put the intentions of the northern wing of the
party entirely beyond dispute The bargain
is not only cordial but complete; and nothing can
prevent its being with but effective and
resolute counter movement the part of the democratic
party including all those Independent citizens who have
at last seen that this party the only alive that
faithfully adheres to the obligations Of the constitution
and to all the rights citizens and States secured under
that immortal instrument Strange inatuationl that while
this party is battling with Herculean energy THE
