Fattening Swine.

The business Of fatteuing swine is often
rendered far more expensive than it need
be. Many farmers feed only their best
and most valuable grains and vegetables,
and feed them raw. In this way q much
larger quantity of food is required than
would be necessary were the food prepared
by boiling or steamiDg. Indian corn, fed
whole, il always an expensive article 10
fatteniDr any animal, and those who rely
upon it exclusively for making pork, must
not be N. prised if their meat costs them
more per pound than the same is worth in
the market. Many farmers are aware that
the cora consumed by an animal will, if
sold in the market at the common market
price, purchase more pork than it will
make. But by selecting poor corn, grin
ding it into meal, perhaps with the cobs,
and cooking it either by boiling or steam
ing, and when convenient mixing it with
boiled potatoes, turuips, beets, carrots or
pumpkins, oil of which are highly nutri-
tious aud %salutary in their effects upon the
general health, a very considerable and
important saving may be made, and the
pork, instead Of being an expensive article
Of food, will DO rendered an economical
one.
In connection with every piggery, there
should be an apparatus for steaming Of
boiling, where the several articles of fooS
can be prepared and tempered with econo
my and ease. Apples are excellent 70
feeding swine, aHd il boiled or steamed an,
mixed with corn and cob meal will be foun,
TO Contribute essentially to the economy O
fattening not only of swine, but of othe
animals. A person who was some year
engaged rather largely in fatteniug por
for the Northern market, assured us tia
he preferred apples and meal to any othe
diet. He expressed his belief that Dor
could be fatteDed on this food for four eel
per pound-less even, we thought, tia
upon any kind Of grain. In this econom
cal manner the farmer may every year ia
ten pork not only sufficient for his oV
use, but frequently a surplus for the ms
ket, aud it will be of the best qualify

AMERICAN WooL.-Poter A. Browne,
Esq, of Philadelphia, in a recent commu-
n~ication to the Richmond Va.) Wing,
asserts hat he can show that 'as fine fleece
can be procured in the United States as in
any portion of the world He says that
he has in his possession wool grown in Ale
gheny county, Penna., by VIM. Hall, which
measures from 1916 to $500 part of
an inch, while the finest wool in the collec-
ton sent to him by the king of Prussia,
and the finest among the specimens sent
to him by the King of Saxony, measure
1916. Mr.. Brawne denies the correct
ness of the decision on the subject at the
London Crystal Palace Exhibition, ant
produces facts to show that the jury OF
wool did injustice to the specimens o
American wool exhibited.

Upon n bright, sequestered spot,

Among the myrtle bowers,
A gentle rill, ran gurgling by,
With banks bedecked with flowers.
1t seemed as II kind nature strove
With all its perfect might,
To make a home for peace and love,
Forever calm and bright.

Whose fortune twas to spend,
Her life in peace and pleasure there,
With one loved, loving friend.
When my delightful dream was done,
Aud slumber's veil removed,

And me, the one that loved.

But sweeter far did SEEM
The hope that l should live to see,
The dream-no more a dream.

VINO WILL UNDERSTAND THEN.
The Autumn Is numbering
The days of the bloom F;
Till Spring are they slumbering,
In their chill wintry tomb
The roses have faded,
And vanished away;
For Autumn hath shaded,
Their tints in decay,
All now | am signing,
For beauty that's flown ;
For the sweet flowers being
Ali withered and strown
Oh where is the flower,
That fades not away
Whose life's not a hour,
Nor droops in decay ;
Whose beauties don't wither,
With the frost laden breeze
When il comes to gather
The leaves from the trees ;
Whose sweets ne'er depart,
Tho Torn from its tree
Whose fragrance, the heart,
Still cheering shall be.
That il0wer-Tve found,
In Life's early morn,
Where affection clings round,
Tho knit with q thorn
I've tasted its essence,
That thorn / have felt;
When in its cold presence
In vain once ] knelt.
Though its leaflets may drocp,
And withsr and pine;
Or its sfem in age stoop,
The bud is still mine.
Now Lady, you ask it,
What flower SO sweet,
Is found in Gems easket,
Ny bosom to greetf
Ave, should you too find it,
It's beauties know too;
You'd to your heart bind it,
Its pleasures to wool
This loveliest Of flowers,
know that yoU LOVE!
IT'S stealing my hours
Its name is THU LOVE.
