1t must have cost Caesar
many anxious laours of
deliberation before he de-
cided to pass the Rubi4
con, but it is probable he
suffered but few to elapse
between the decision and
the execution. And any
one of his friends, who
should have been appris-
ed of his determination,
and understood his char
acter, would have smiled
contemptuously to hear
it insinuated that though
Cesar had resolved Caesar
would not dare. or that
though he might cross
the Rubicon, whose op-
posite bank presented to
him no hostile legions,
he might come to other
rivers which he could not
cross, or that either riv-
ers any other obstacle
would deter him from
prosecuting his determine
ations from this cminous
commencement TO its very
last consequences.

When n firm decisive

curious to see how the

sition to interrogate,

serves a respectful and

it not unwise to keep the

them were sold for dollar apiece.

Alum for Hog Cholera.

Last May my hogs were attacked
with Hog Cholera, and upon mention.
ingit to a friend, he spoke of sugges-
tion published in Cincinnati paper,
advising the use of alum. I procured
some--made a strong solution all the
water would bear, and drenched all /
found with the disease upon them, and
gave to the lot 600 0head) about pound
of pulverized alum in some mill feed
each day for two weeks, by which time
all remaining seemed healthy. Out of
twenty-five drenched with one pint of
solution to each-administered with the
assistance of rope behind the tusks,
and horn with the small end sawed
off, lost Ave head, and with the ex-
ception of two, the remaining seven.
teen seem to have entirely recovered
to a healthy, thrifty condition. Some
of those which have recovered, were in
tho last stage-vomiting, with red
blotches on the skin, and bleeding at
the nose, which I have always consid-
cred the last stages of the disease. The
above remedy costs but little, and if it
is as successful with others as with me,
it is we'll worth trial.

How George become a TcetotaIer.

A short time since, = young man living
in Ogdenburgh, N. Y. whose name we shall
call George, took to drinking rather more
than usual, and some Of his friends en-
desvorcd to cure him. One day, when he
was in rather loose condition, they got
HIM in room, and commenced oonversing
about delirium tremens, directing all their
remarks to him, and telling him what fear.
ful objects, such as snakes and rats, were
always seen by the victims of this horrible
disease. When the conversion had waxed
high on this theme, one Of the number
stepped out of the the room, and from a
trap which was Mt hand, let large rat
iuto his room. None of his friends ap-
peared to see it, but the young man who
was to be tho victim, seized chair and
hurled it at the rat, completely using up
the piece of furniture in tho operation.
Another chair shared the same fate, when
his friends seized him, and with terror
depicted in their faces, demanded to know
what was the matter. "Why, don't you
see that cussed big rat I" said he pointing
to the animal, which, after the manner of
rats, was making it's way round the room,
close to the walls. .....

they did mt sec it-"there was not rat"

Feeding Hogs.

Feeding hogs, for pork,should be be-
gun this month, the earlier the better.
They should be fed at first in small
lot with green corn and stalks thrown
in together. While the stalk is succu-
lent, they will extract much nutriment
from it. Feed with pumpkins at tho
same time, and any food you may have;
and let them, if you can, have stream
OF running water to 60 to. Such treat,
ment should always precede close con-
finement in the fattening pens, and ex-
elusive feeding on corn. When you mean
to feed regularly for fattening, have
by oil means, we'll Uttered pens, where
they can be we'll protected and COM
Portable in bad weather. There is a
very great economy in feeding with
ground and cooked food. If you have
no fixtures for boiling and steaming,
you may at least, have the corn ground.
and having two barrels, put in each
enough for days feeding, and fill with
water. AS oneis emptied, fill again,
and feed next day from the other, ,leav-
ing the first to ferment. One third of
the corn will be saved by this process,
and the extra labor will not amount to
much. The fewer hogs in a pcn the
better. If well Uttered, they make a
large quantity Of very rich manure
Have strong, well secured trougbs to
feed them from.
Hogs should have, while feeding,
frequent supplies ofsalt and ashes, and
plenty of rotton wood or charcoal.
