tsst We were talking about. Our "facts are not in
tended to be elaborated into proofs and arguments for
slrers but rather as tsxts for thinking men to think
over and reason with themselves and neghbcrs upon.
Our opinion that all the swine family should be kept
Imprisoned If not in close pens, oesiny in strongly
fenced lots: and lin all the Eastern States where ms
nure is 70 vsluabie il lie very doubtful whether far
mer can afford 10 let any Of the family out Of the pen
which as we before hinted should be gres. manure
snufactoryexcept perhsps fer short season TO eat
clover, peas or CLEAN stubbe-iield. II there Is
ereser peghborhood nuisance than hogs in the high
way, We have yet to find it out and as we would o.
wsys keep "Mr. Pig in the pen, We recommended to
nsie him work in the msnutsctory, furnishing apart
Of the materials to be worked and the farmer the re-
m.inder. In bis immediate preparation for desth we
don't care how idly he spends the last OF mis- days. AS
long as farmers will persist in making the flesh OF swine
their esdpg article Of food We shall contend thas the
fssh of an snimsl that has worked his way up TO
nature age and then faened ready for slaughter will
make more healthy food than the oily atness of one al
vsys kept in state of obesity and dleress from his
brh TO death 1t is this great physiological fact that
causes the flesh OF the wild hog to be sought after and
eaten with gusto. We fully agree with the orthodoxy
Of E. NJ Brewster, model farmer Of Grswo,d, Conn.,,
who esys, If he wss TO atten haf-dozen hogs up
on fat rock he would be sure TO have two rings in
each nose" The latitude that We desire the
readers Of The TRIBUNE to give TO our suggestions s
-st this: to make distinction between working aud
| ia..ipg animals, and make the pig useful one.
l. ba vrTta Wh
riven us an opportunity to write something more upon
working ps s." furnishes food for thought for an item
under the above caption. lie says lin Tile Homestead
Of June 24: There TO be notion among some
Of our farmers that it is fes mission TO do al the
rork they can, TO literally slave themselves from
early in the morning till late at night, beside being
meanwhile in q sort of fernent, internally, because
themselves and those they employ do not accomplish
more" This is the great error Of farmers, amoet
universally, throughout oil the Free States At the
South the owners OF the land enssve the negroes ana
ccppe them 20 do the ohng. AT the North, the own
or er,,syes himself and tolls like slave, and frets be-
,s,se he cannot DO more. He forges, or rather ne
iii no. Learn that ssvng toll does net produce wealth,
o, e.s the unr eec.us toers who grade the way Tor
ron tracks over mountains cut passages for canals
and aouetiuc,s through bills. would be the wealthy
ones On the contrary, the intellectual men VINO direct
and guide the hands and brute force that accomplish
these gres. works the ones who acquire wealth.
| The sSme order Of intellect applied TO farming would
enable the owner 70 hire men VINO are able and Wiling
70 DO the slavsh toll, who have not the mental ability
70 live without t-men who must toll AMI be directed
by Others at least until they Learn to direct themselves
Now il eeems TO US Just preposterous for the owner
of fam to act upon the principle that he must slave
himself in daily toll, and do his OWE work, because
"he cannot afford to hire, n it would for the owner
of factory TO insist that he must wash and cleanse and
card ard spin the WOOL and weave AMI dye and dress
the cloth becau,e by doing he could save the wages
of lsboreIs In each case both would gain ten-
fold their profits by touching their own hands to
the work. if they have intellect enough to drect the
hands of otherr There is not only no need Of owners
of flms making themselves tong savse but is ex-
trtme folly for them to do so; and is equal folly for
them to put themselves in fermen. becsuse they an
not get as much work they desire out OF those they
hire to do their farm labor Let the owner enl8ht@n
his own mind, and lei the light Of ths. shine upon his
sborers, and both will soon grow better satisfied lne

tyepeh Of four men TO move stick or ssone thss one
