Illness. Of senator Douglas.

Senator Douglas has been seriously i'll at
the fremont Housc, in Chicago, for several
days. On Saturday painful apprehensions
existed in regard to his recovery. On Sun
day, however, there was change for the
better, and it Is earnestly hoped that his
life may be spared, for his country's sake
The IRISH BRIGADE, OF CHICAGo.-The
services of this splendid regiment have
been accepted by the President, and it will
move forward to the Virginia line as soon
as few of the companies. which have be-
come somewhat disorganized since the re-

All Fighting in a Common Cause.

The Union Press has an agricultural
correspondent who presents some good
hints on "The Farmers War Policy"
After urging the cultivation of every
available plant during the summer and
fall of this year, he very truly adds:
"This is the way the farmers can do
efficient fighting, every one of them. The
young men have gone to the warS-let us
provide for the future and the support of
those they have left behind them.
X good and patriotic sentiment! 1t

it too; and ii may be that the conclusion
of this whole matter will be glorious

struggle manfullv for abundant supplies.

\ Swine Pasture.

The practice OF good iarncrs differ in
regard to the pasture of swiic accor,iinn
to their varying circumstances. In the
East, where the country is most drnscIv
populated, and pasture is scarce. the rrr.
vaiiue custom is to keep pirs in rhe n,n
for the greater part Of the year. The brs,
farmers consider the pic too valuable Il H..
bolcr in manure making, to allow him to
waste his energies in roaming the fields.
Breeding swine, both males and sows, are
allowed Il little license in green pastures
but the rest OF the herd. from the age o;
two months until they are slaughtered. are
kept in close pens. and l;lttcncd as RAPIDLY
as possible. Cnderthis system, pigs from
ten months TO u year old are made TO
weigh about three hundred pounds each.
and to manufacture about ten dollars
worth of manure. This system is un-
doub;cdiy the best, where all the pastures
is needed for COWS and sheep, and where
large quantities of manure are needed for
the iiocd crops.
In the West and South, where land is
cheaper, good farmers rely mainly upon
paStnragc TO keep their swiur growing
through the Summer. IN tile lcwer set
