The Best Method of Raising and Fatten-
ing Hogs.

John Shafts, of Alexander. Genesee
Co., N. Y, raises the cheapest and
heaviest pigs of any man within my
knowledge His peculiarities are some
what as follows:
/. Keep the breeding sow pork fat.
2. Begin to feed the pigs as soon as
they will eat; new milk at first, then
slops, sour milk, apples, cooked and
bran shorts stirred in, etc.
5. Never feed the pigs with the sow.
Give them an apartment with small
openings, that they may eat at their
leisure, while the sow can enjoy her
own dish at leisure, and not root them
out of the trough.
4. Never let them get hungry. AT
first, feed them six times day-Eever
less than four.
s. Feed regularly. First feeding a,

~ and exactly. a si .ft-oq,
6. Never begin to fatten, but always
keep them fat.
z. Cook their food, or let it sour IN
the swill-barrel, if given raw. Sour
apples that have lain i'm the swill forty
eight hours, they will relish, when they
would not touch fresh one.
s. He uses very little corn-some
times none; giving only coarse food
such as bran shorts, etc.
9. He uses judicious cross betweer
the Suffolk and Byfield breeds.
10. He never keeps pig till it i.
over year old, except for breedin:
purposes. su
IL. He makes pigs ut ten months old
dress over four hundred fbs., four hun
ired being his Average mark.
Sometimes lie allows his swine
small range in the best white Glove
pasture, and ut other times he keep
them close from pighood to porkhood

Here is something good from the pen
of the Autocrat of the atlantic:
But confound the make-believe
women we have turned loose i'm our
streets; where do they come from
Why there isn't beast or bird that
would drag its tail through the dirt in
the way these creatures do their dress.
es. Because queen or duchess wears
long robes OH great occasions, maid
of-all- work, or factory girl, thinks she
must make herself nuisance through
the street, picking up and carrying
about with her-bah that's what |
call getting vulgarity into your bones
and marrow. Making believe to be
what you are not is the essence of vul-
garity. aa
Show over dirt is the one attribute
of vulgar people. If any man can
walk behind one of these women, and
see what she rakes up as she goes, and
not feel squeamish, he has got a strong
stomach. l would't let one of them
into my house without serving them as
David did Saul ut the cave of the
wilderness-cut off their skirts!
Don't tell me that true lady ever
sacrifices the duty of keeping all
around her sweet and clean, to the wish
of making vulgar show-I won't be-
lieve it of Il lady.
There are some things which no fash
ion has any right to touch, and CLEAN
liness is one OF these things.
If woman wishes to show that her
husband or father has got money,
which she wants and means to spend
but doesn't know how, let her buy =
yard or two of silk and pin it to hen
dress when she goes out to walk, but
let her unpin it before she goes into
the house; there may be some poor
woman that will think it worth disin
fecting. hfo' p
1t is an Insult to respectable laun

THE WIFE.-To partake secretly,
and in her best heart, of all his joys
and sorrows to believe him coniely
and fair, though the sun hath drawn
cypress over him, (for as marriages are
not to be contracted by the hands and
eyes, but with reason and the heart, SO
are these judgments to be made by
the mind, not by the sight and iia-
monds cannot make the woman virtu-
Gus, nor him to value her, who sees her
put them off then, when chastity and
modesty are her brightest ornaments.
Indeed, the outward ornament is fit to
take fools, but they are worth the talk
ing. But she that hath wise husband,
must entice him, to an eternal dearness,
by the veil of modesty, and the grave
robes of chastity, the ornament of
mcekness, and the jewels Of faith and
charity; her brightness must be prri-
ty, and she must shine round about
with sweetness and friendship, and she
shall he pleasant while she lives, and
desired when she dies.-Jeremy 7dy-

PHYSICAL BENEFIT oil, THE SAB
BATH.-The Sabbath is COPS special
present to the working man, and one
of its chief objects is to prsAong his
life, and preserve efficient his working
tone. In the vital system it acts like
a compensation pond it replenishes
the spirits, the elasticity and vigor
which the last six days have drained
away, and supplies the force which is
to fill the six days succeei ling; aud,
the economy of existence, it answers
the same purpose as the economy of
income is answered by savings bank.
The frugal man puts away a pound to-
day and another next month, and who,
in quiet way, is putting by his stated
pound from time to time when he
grows old and frail, gets not only the
same pound back again but good
many pounds besides. And the con-
scientions man who husbands one day
of his existence every wcek-who, in
stead of allowing the Sabbath to be
trampled and torn in the hurry and
scramble Of life, treasures it devoutly
mp, the Lord of the Sabbath keeps It
for him, and in the length of days, the
hale oil age gives it back with usury.
The savings bank of human existence

CURE FOR FELoN.-Having nearly
lost finger by one of these excruciat-
ing ills to which our flesh is heir, l feel
impelled by a sense of duty to pro-
claim the following remedy. After
suffering so much with the one afore-
said, knew the symptoms too aoeUto
be mistaken in regard to them. and af-
ter day and night Of torture rose at 2
O'Clock and administered the following:
Take half gill of strong oinegdr,
dissolve in it a tablespoonful or more
of saleratus-heat as hot as the flesh
can bear-soak the f.lon rs long as de-
sireable-repeat the application as of,
ten as the pain returns, and cure is
certain. The writer prevented two in
this way. To all afflicted we say try
Iit. This remedy must be applied IN
the first stages, rs it is of no avail af.
ter it is greatly swollen.

NUMBER As.
Girl Health.

1t will be an Immense ADVANTAGE
when the day 'mes for boys and girls
learning and play ing together, as child.
rem of several foreign countries do.
Climbing trees is admirable exercise
for everybody; and so is cricket, and
trap-ball, and ball play of all kinds;
and racing and jumping. Instead of
this, we see not few schools where
the girls after sitting and standing all
day, are taken out for a walk in the
twilight, to save lighting candles.
They seldom feel the sun; they have
chilblains and other ailments from bad
circulation; and in such schools nearly
every girl has more or less distortion
of the spine, when she has been there
more than two years. In the last CEN
tury people knew no better. Little
girls were put upon hard benches with
ont backs, and so high that the feet
hung in the air; and SO perched. they
were required to sit bolt upright, and
sew for hours together, the humpback,
the weary, aching spine, which many
thousands of English women have car
ried to the grave. There is no more
reason for women being crooked than
any other creature born with proper
backbone; and this is better under
stood than it used to be. We see that
the seats in school houses are often ac-
commodated to the height of children:
and if leaning back is not countenanc-
ed, there is more frequent change of
posture and of occupation. CaIisthenic
exercises, and even the inclined place
for the relief of the backs Of fast-grow-
ing girls, are common sights in our day.
The Improvement is marked; but the
condition of school girls needs more
consideration than has yet been given
to it. Their average of health is far
below that of boys; more of them will
languish in invalidism; fewer will have
genuine, robust health more, i'm par
ticular, will die of consumption within
ten years. The main cause of this is the
unequal developments of the faculties.
There is too much intellectual acqnisi-
tion, though not too much mental exer-
cise,. if it were more general; and
there is an almost total absence of
physical education. II the muscles
were called upon as strenuously as the
memory, to show what they could do,
the long train of school girls who in
stitute the romance of the coming gen
Grafton would flock merrily into ten
thousand homes, instead Of parting cff
some to gladden. their home certain
ly, but too many to the languid lot of
invalidism, or to the actual sick room;
while an interminable procession Of
them is forever on their way to the
cemetry-the foremost dropping into
the grave, while the number is kept up
from behind. Many survivor will
still be wondering with grandchildren
round the fire, that this and that, and
the other pretty or clever schoolfellow
should have died so early. TI' ia1-sii

Look up at that Flag.
BY JOSEPH BARBER.

Look up at that flag, as it ripple and sways
On the roofs of our cities-the ships in our bays;
Count the stars count their cost count their glores

And then dare, We "dissolvers," to tear it in two
Look abroad on the land-gage the beauty and
worth o
of the envy, the wonder, the glory of earth
And then seize what bond .fends would shrink to
undo
And, with Washington's sword, cut the compact
in two

Who dissolved the first union 'twixt God and the
world, t,-sF
As he triumphed in Eden, will triumph anew
In that hour-should it come-when our one shall
be two.

Shall her sons break her image-her temple despoi?

Whom God joined together, shall never be two.

THE EARLY BLUE BIRD.
MRS, l.. Fl, sIGOCRNEy,

MRS. l.. Fl. srGoURNEY.
Blue bird on yon leahess tree,
Dost thou carol thus to me?
"Spring is coming! Spring is here!"
Say'st thou SO, my birdie dear?
What Is that in misty shroud,
Stealing from the darkened cloud ?
Lo. the snowflake gathering mound
Settles o'er the whitcned ground,
Yet thou singcst blithe and clear,
"Spring is coming! Spring is here !'
Strik'st thou not too bold a strain?
Clouds are sweeping o'er the sky,
With a black and threatening eve;
Urchins by the frozen rill,
Wrap their mantlcs closer still;
Yon poor man with doublet old,
Doth he shiver at the cold?
Hath he not nose of blue?
Tell me, birdling-tcll me true.
Springs maid of mirth and glee;
Rosy .wreaths and revclry;
Hast thou woocd some win ged love
To nest in verdant grove?
Sung to her of greenwood bower,
Sunny skies that ne'er lower?
Lured her with thy promise fair,
vi lot that never knows care
Prithce, bird in a coat of blue,
Though a lovcr-tcll her true.
Ask her, if when storms are long,
j.. She can sing a cheerful songe
When the iude winds rock the tree,
If she'll closer cling to thee?
Then, the blasts that sweep the sky,
Unappalled shall pass thee by;
Though thy curtained chamber show,
Sittings of untimely snow,
Warm and glad thy heart shall be.
Love shall make it Spring for thee.

CURE FOR CANcER.-Mr. Thomas Anderson
gives the following recipe for cancer, which he
says, has been of great service in several danger
Gus cases
''Bo fine Turkey figs in new milk. which
they will thicken when they are tender, split
and apply them as warm as they can be borne
to the part affected, whether broken or not; the
part must be washed every time the poultice liz
changed with some of the milk use fresh
poultice night and morning, and at least once
during the day, and drink a quarter of pint
of the milk the figs are boiled in twice in the
twenty-four hours. If the stomach will bearit,
this must be persevered in for three or four
months at least. A man aged 105 was cured,
about six years before his death, with only six
pounds of figs. The cancer which began at the
corner of his mouth, had eaten through his jaw,
cheek, and half way down his throat; yet he
was so perfectly cured as never to show any
tendency to return. Should it ever do SO, the
figs should again be applied. The first appli-
cation gives a great deal of pain, but afterwards
each dressing gives relief. A woman cured by
this remedy had been afflicted ten years; her
breast blcd excessively; ten pounds cured. her.
