MODEL CHAMPION OF FREEDoM AND Mo.
RaLrrY.-"Gen." Lane, the free state" leader in
the Kansas troubles is one OF the models OF peace
end morality held up for admiration by the Re.
publicans. We published some time since the fac,
that his wife had been compelled to fee from him
in consequence Of ill-treatment and sue for d-
yorce, which was granted. The editor of the Da-
yenport Gazette has had an interview with Mr. Bal
bridge, the father OF Lanes late wife, who states
that
"When his precious son-in law induced his
daughter to go TO Kansas, he sold her propcr,y.
amounting to $4,000, and, after reaching Kansas,
he procured mistress and treated his wife so badly
that she forced to leave for home; and he told
her he had paid her passage on the steamboat to In
diana, when in fact after the boat started she found
srch was not the case, and it was with difficulty
that she raised money enough TO pay her passage,
Lane had robbed her OF her fortune, been guilty of
adultery with mistress. and sent her home penni-
less, and, after she had left, tried 10 get divorce
iroin her through the very Territorial Legislature
which he is denouncing as bogus and Illegal"
What choice instruments the Republicans use TO
advocate their cause! How proud the Republicans
must feel who have idolzed this hero OF freedom
What happy text the life of this Kansas hero has
furnished the PnlPs of our political clcrgy- Utica

TREATMENT OF Hoes WHEN TAKEN UP.
AL hogs when first taken up for fa;tening.
should receive three or four doses of flour
OF sulphur, and as many of copperas, in do.
ses of a table spoonful, at intervals of two
days apart. These should be given them
IN messes Of meal. Such doses serve to
cool the blood, strengthen the digestive or
gans, and remove those worms which some.
times attack the kidneys.
Thcir food for the first two or three
weeks Should be pumpkins, apples, roots
and other vegetables. which would be the
better OF being cooked and mixed with
bran, or meal Of some kind. the latter be-
ing increased from day TO day, gradually.
So that when the hogs come TO have corn
or meal altogether tile change may not be
i"jurously felt by then.
Whether c0y7s or corn aleai be fed out
to The hogs, great saving will be effected
by having either cooked, aud it is inmate
rial whether it be boiled or steamed. A
saving may be effected 10y cooking OF from
10 to 20 per cent.-br grinding into meal
and cooking 80 per cent.

Improbable Farming.


The following extract from an address hv
Mr.. Greeley, before the Erie Count Agr;
cultural Society, at Buffalo, n. Y. con,ains
some useful hints:
The truth which | am most anxious to
impress is, that no poor man can afford to
be poor farmer. When / have recon-.
mended agricultural improvements. | have
often been told this expensive farming will
do well enough for rich people, but we who
are IN moderate circumstances can't afford
It,. Now, 1t Is not ornamental FARMING that
recommend, but profitable farming. It's
true, that the amount Of mans capital
must Tx the limit of his business. in apri
culture as Is in everything else. But. how.
ever poor you may be, you can afford 10
cultivate land well, you afford to cultivate
1t all 1t may be out of your power to keep
large farm IN high state Of cultivation,
but you should sell part Of it, and cult.
vale small Que. You are a poor man,
you cannot afford to raise small crops: YOU
cannot afford 10 accept half crop from
land capable OF yielding whole If YOU
are poor man, YOU cannot afford 10 fence
two acres TO secure the crop you ought 10
grow on one; you cannot afford to pay or
lose HE interest on the cost of 100 acres of
l$nd to get the crops that will grow on
% acres. No man can afford to raise 20
bushels OF corn per acre, not even if the
la"i were given him. for 90 bushels ncr
acre will not pay the cost of the miserable
cultivation that produces it,
NO poor man can afford 10 cultivate his
land in such manner AS will cause i, to
deterioraie in value Good farming i'm
proves the value of land, and the larmer
who manages his fam so as 10 get the lur
geSt crop it is capable ofyieldinT increases

The EARTHs IHTEnIoR.-In the course Of

at Albany, by DIR. WinsIow, he observed

OF the planet is yielding envelope of no
great thickness, overiaying a globe of fluid.

power, that mountains and continents un-
dnIate upon it rs fields of ice follow the
tidal action Of the sea. The causes and

cred TO be the tension and dynamical agen

motion corresponds with the tides, and y
French savan attributes it to the action Of
the moon. DR.. Winslow attributed il to
the action of the sun, and supported his
theory on the ground that these phenomena
