SALT FoR SwINE.--A correspondent OF
the Annalen der Landwirlhschaft states some
interesting experiments to test the use Of salt
in lattening swine. lie selected two pairs of
barrow hogs, weighing 300 pounds apiece
One pair received with their daily allowance
of food two ounces of salt the other pair,
similarly fed, none In the course Of week
it was easily seen that the salted pair had
a much stronger appetite than the others,
and after fortnight the salt was increased
to two ounces apiece. After four months the
weight of the salted hogs was $50 pounds
apiece, while that of the unsalted, five weeks
later. reached only 800 pounds.

FLAX CoTToN AGAINST KING COTTON
A private letter from Boston, thus speaks Of
the recent invention for "Aaxing out King
Cotton There are now in operation, in this
city, experimental works for the manufacture
of fax fibre into a material called febrilia, or
fax cotton. This can be produced in any
qndatay az between seven and eight cents per
1 pound, and the cloth made from it is better
in every respect, and will take and preserve
colors better than cloth made from cotton.
| The raw material, fax, wild or cultivated, can
| be produced, and is produced, in Canada and
all the Northern States in vast quantities.
Colonel Lander, in one of his recent reports,
speaks of coming to plains covered with i'm
mensc quantities Of this plant growing wild.
Now, here is an article which, even now, can
be had in quantities, so that its material can
/ be produced at from two to three cents per
pound less than cotton, which makes better
cloth, and which is destined to supersede cot
ton. Slowly but surely the parties owning
the patents for the process for manufacturing
this article are working it into the attention
of our people.
"The first mill started to manufacture cloth
from this material will be the most dangerous
ant-sayery society in the world, and the
mud-sins Of society who operate it may fall
beneath the indignation Of an outraged Wig
fall. or some other luminary of the southern
hemis phere
with this | send you some Of the article
and some Of the cloth made from IL also
pamphlet describing it. Some peopla are look
ing to this matter as offering solution Of tho
slavery question. Napoleon /. offered one
million francs to any one who would invent
machinery, to manufacture fax by spinning it
into cloth - Eyeniu0 Past

Now in use irrespective of Price.

NoW III use irrespective OF IrlcC.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEsr & WILSON'S Machine.
tst It's simplicity, and the dircctnoss with
which the power is communicated TO the needles.
This is n great desidcratum andn this we claim
n decided superiority over all other machines
ID. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by larger
one, instead of to the long arm OF lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
3D.. The great power and dircctness of the
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauzo
TO four thckuesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made TO run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses from n sheet Of paper
20 heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping a stitch or breaking thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal Gu
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, IL
will permit tho seam TO be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heayi-
est garments, bed-qults &C., and It will turn up
readily upon hinges attached TO the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for a circular containingfhll particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations of stitch, &c.
Machines warrantedand full directions given,
for using, without charge.
Orders for machines aud circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing
