HOGS.

IF not sefevident, it is believed that sufficient
number of experiments have been made, to esta6-
lish the fact, that swine are selfsusaining animals
and that pork is of the cheapest meats raised
upon farm The hog is a working animal, and
if supplied with sufficient material for the first ten
months of his life, will produce sufficient guam
tity of the best of manure to be equivalent to his
value, giving him two months to rest from labors,
and to grow fat. Generally at one year old is
the best time to kill
A word as to breeding. It is quite common to
breed from young sows, say fall pigs, to come in
with litter of pigs when one year old; practice
to be condemned, and if continued in the same
family for few generations of the swine they will
be found to dwndle down from three to four hun
dred hogs, to two to three hundred. 1t is much
better to keep the sows three or four years, and
even much longer-they have been known to have
been kept some fifteen years to advantage. The
hog is some years in his natural state in coming to
maturity 1t is fact well known, at least to
every Irishman from the o"d country, that pigs
from old sows will grow into hogs some thirty or
forty pounds heavier than those from young ones.

"A REMEDY FOR RUST IN COTTON.

Having noticed some inquiries respecting rust
In cotton, and having felt the injurious effects of
its ravages myself, l wish to give my brother far
what believe to be effectuai remedy for it.
Last year, about the first of july l discovered
several spots of rust in my cotton fields. L took
some Stacked lime and small paddle, not more
than an inch wide, and threw a small quantity
upon each stalk affected while the dew was on.
Some Of the stalks were left entirely without
leaves, with the exception of small bud on the
top. The rust stopped at once and health was re-
stored, and it grew, apparently, with much more
vigor than that which not affected. Itw soon
loaded with fruit, much ofwhich came to maturity
The cause of rust am not able to comprehend
though l have thought, perhaps, it was caused by
some impure substance impurity in the atmos-
phere as it generally commences in low loose land
When once it breaks out it seems to be contagious
and lime being great purifier of air, l think my
remedy win not be entirely absurd.
Yours truly, NJ. F. w.

GRAPE CULTURE.

A friend says Chester 6. &C. Standard who takes
great interest in the cultivation of fruits and who
has been more than any other individual of whom
we have any knowledge, instrumental in introduc-
ing from abroad into our midst, new and improved
varieties of almost every species of fruit suited to
to our peculiar soil and climate, hands the fol-
lowing communication on the grape for publication.
= We most willing give it place in our columns,
as the cultivation of the grape is likely to become,
at no distant day, matter of some importance.
The New York Commercial Advertiser in an
article on the grape states that this fruit is one of
the best and most wholesome medicines. This af-
fords an additional inducement for the cultivation
of this popular fruit. The Commercial says:
'In the vineyard districts of France Spain, and
other wine-growing countries, the medical proper
ties of the grape are well known and highly priced.
The free use of this fruit, as advised, has
most salutary effect upon the animal system,
diluting the blood, removing Instructions in the
liver, kidneys, spleen, and other important organs
giving healthy tone and vigor to the circulation
and generally augmcnting the strength Of the en-
tire animal economy in diseases of the liver, and
especially in that monster compound afliction,
dyspepsia, the salutary and potent influence of the
grape diet is well known in France
The inhabitants of the vineyard districts are
never afflicted with those diseases which fact how
ever alone, would not be conclusive evidence of
medicinal qualities of the fruit of which they freely
partake, since peasant life is rarely married with
this class of ailments but hundreds who are thus
afflicted yearly, resort to the vineyard districts for
the sake of what is known as the ''Grape Cure
and the result proves to be cure, except in very
long, protracted and inveterate cases, which are
beyond the reach of medicinal remedies. The in
MIGRATING influence of the grape, freely eaten
upon the feeble and debiitated, is very apparent,
supplying vigor and the rosy hue of health in the
stead Of weak and DalOr and this nv its dilnt
ing property, which enables the blood to circulate
in the remoter vessels of the skim which before re-
ceived only the Serious or watery PARTICLES,
In these remarks, however, we must be under
stood as speaking of the fruit when perfectly ripe
Unripe grapes, like all unripe fruits, detrimen
tai to health and derange the digestive organs and
those dependent upon and sympathizing with them
