Fattening SWine,~

Farmers begin to fatten swine too late.
Some do not commence till the first of
autumn, and others even later. The con-
sequence is the animal scarcely gets un-
der way when the time comes for slauoh
tering him. Our best managers make it
a rule to keep the animal growing with
out intermission from the first period of
its existence until ready for the pork-tub.
1t kept over winter, they are fed and kept
comfortable throughout, aud the regular
tattenlng process is commenced early in
the spring. a bCshel of corn given thus
early III the season to a vigorous growing
animal is worth much more than the same
amount fed in autumn, and far more than
II fed In cold weather or in winter. One
reason that some farmers find it unproft-
able to fatten pork, is that large part of
the process has to be performed when the
weather has become so cold that much
OF the feed is required merely for sustain
ing animal warmth.
The best pork raiser we know of has
IN one instance grown a pig eight months
old so as to weigh four hundred and fifty
pounds in ten months. He has the corn
ground to meal and prepares it by pour
ing into covered tub four pailsful of
bulling water to each pail of dry neal
After standing day or more it all be-
comes nearly solid mass, and makes ex-
cellent feed. The animals are kept per-
fectly clean, dry, and comfortable, (not in
close pen, bat small yard, )are fed with
great regularity, and never quite so much
as they viii eat, surfeit being carefully a.
voided He finds that pork thus manu-
factured costs him only five cents pound
when corn is a dollar bushel
Farmers who have not begun to fatten
their swine regularly, as they should have
done months ago, should commence i'm
mediately. BY attending to the particu-
lars just mentioned they will fud the bus
iness far more profitable than the too fre-
quent practice of feeding in the ear, giving
the food irregularly both as to time and
quantity, and paying no attention to
cleanliness and comfort. Theskillful far
mer, whose practice we have already des-
cribed, finds that the mixture of meal and
hot water makes twice,as much pork as
corn fed on the cob, according to careful
weighing and measuring.

gressmen and member of the Legislature
as many districts as possible should be
carried by the loyal candidate now in and
to be put into the field. We want the
moral effect of overwhelming majoriti es
as well as the prestige derived from mill
tary power and force. We expect to clese
the war as much by the influence of the
ballot as the bullet We hope to stop the
effusion OF blood by the unmistakable dem
onstration at the polls that the war is to
be waged till the rebellion is ended, and
that hostilities will not cease while there
is an armed traitor in the field. Such a
cessation of hostilities cannot be obtained
by compromise or negotiation. 1t must
be achieved by the stern influence Of
force by the unmistakable, clear, and
well-defned proofs of the ability of the
Government to cope with and conquer all
or any of its foes.
Men of Pennsylvania, the issues are
now before you for consideration and de-
cision. You must abide the result, as
you establish it for good or evil. We ask
you to support Abraham Lincoln because
we believe his reelection will fully vindi-
cate the authority of the National Govern
ment, and fully establish the fact that
the free men of the loyal State are able
to sustain the existence Of the Union and
the Government against the hazard of op-
position from abroad or at home We ask
you to assist not onl ly in the reelection of
Abraham Lincoln, but in the election of
all loyal candidates for State and Federal
offices, because their triumph will recog-
nize our nationality-a result which must
contribute to the maintenance of the Ma
tional Government. 1t needs no argu-
ment of our own to establish this position,
because our political opponents now an
us to achieve entirely the oppo-
nents now antagonize us to achieve entire
ly the opposite results.
Can we hesitate-can there be any
trust or confidence in men placed in nom
ination by such men? Men of family,
hesitate men of property, hesitate;
young men, who hope to enjoy both these
blessings, hesitate before you cast your
votes for nominees made by such agencies.
BY order of the Union State Central
Committee.

A Soldier Can't Stand it.

At a Copperhead meeting in Vevay, In
diana, last Saturday, Samuel Porter, one of
the speakers, denounced the soldiers as
Lincoln's hirelings, whereupon. says the
Madison County Courier, the veteran Cap
tain Andy Stepleton, of the 22d Indiana,
arose and denounced Porter and his whole
posse as cowardly traitors, and drove the
speaker from the stand. Stepleton says
there shall be no more rebel meetings in
Vevery while he's about and that he has
''come to stay.,,
II is evident that the views Of brother Ste
pleton, respecting the liberty speech and the
rights of rebels in the North, are some whst.

THE FREE CoLoRED CITIZENS OF LOUISE
ANA. We have received a copy of the petit
tion OF the free colored citizens Of Louisiana,
recently presented TO the President and Con-
gress, requesting that their names should be
placed on the registers in that State as voters,
the military authorities there having declined
TO do so. The petitioners set forth that they
are natives Of Louisiana, loyal citizens of the
United States, and ready to sacrifice their
fortunes and lives to maintain the national
unity; that large portion of them are own
ers of real estate, and all of them owners of
personal property; that they are fitted to en-
Joy the immunities and privileges of citizens
OF the United States, and that many of them
are descendants OF those men whom the illus
trious Jackson styled his " fellow-citizens,"
when he called upon them to defend New
Orleans; that, notwithstanding the principles
of the Declaration of Independence, and their
services in the war of 1872, they have been
excluded from all franchises, yet have paid
taxes on an assessment of more than SIS ,000,-
600; aud that at the call of Gen. Banks, they
rallied under the banner of Union and liber-
ty. and when Gen. Shepley called for troops
TO defend New Orleans during the siege of
Port Hudson, they were foremost in respond
ing, and raised regiment in forty EIGHT
hours. On these grounds they ask to be
treated as men and admitted to the right Of
suffrage Boston Journal.

The RECIPROCITY Treaty.

The following is the substance of the sup
Elemental report on the subject of the abro-
CATION of the Reciprocity Treaty with Cana
da, reported on Friday from the Committee
on Commerce in Congress by Mr.. Ward OF
New York:
The report shows that in the forty-two
years from 1921 TO 1868, the exports from the
United States to the British colonies have in
creased from s22 ,009,336 to SIS, ,627, ,ll0, and
the exports of articles of foreign origin from
$445 to S2,65l 920. The imports from the
provinces increased from s490,604 in 1921 to
$1,000 800 in 1862. The ratio of increase
was much affected by the Reciprocity Treaty,
which did not 60 into full effect uutil 1856 and
1856.
As the trade with Canada is the only cause
of dissatisfaction with the treaty, a statement
is made showing that the domestic exports
have risen from S2,320,323 to $l6430605 in
1863. The total exports, domestic and foreign.
in those years, was S134 ,6l4,376, and the i'm
ports were $133, l44,G00.
OF our exports exclusive of the articles
which passed through the United Statss in
bondl SIG, ,664, ,465 consisted Of articles of
foreign origin, which are purchased with pro-
ductions of the United States, and yield en-
ployment not only to the farmer and mechanic
but to the shipper and sailor, as well as profit
to the merchant.
The gradual dimunition of our exports to
Canada is shown by the fact that in 1855 they
amounted to SO, $50, and 1862 they had
declined to 81 ,46S, ll3. 1855 Is an exceptional
year on account of the great expenditure ol

but the trade in 1868 was only half the
average amount in five years preceding the
treaty.
This has been effected by the enactment of
asysten, practically difierential and discrim-
mating against this country, by laying duties
on the value OF merchandise at the places
where it was last bought, which practically
shuts the door to the admission into Canada
OF the leading articles hitherto purchased in
the United States, and forcing Upper Canada
TO import via the St. Lawrence, or otherwise
pay an enormous increase OF duty. Canadian
merchants are thus virtually driven from
our markets, and the trade of the United
States in articles produced in the United
States has gradually declined from $41s5,5 ,516
in 1859 to Sl,5l0,S62 in lS62-63.
The tendency of the past reciprocal system
OF trade between the two countries is illus
trated by the fact that, the year before the
treaty came into effect the value of direct
imports to Canada via the st. Lawrence de-
clined from 21,17l,756 to 81 ,494 .22S and
the exports from 12,501 1872 to SIS, 1876 800.
Some of the leading advantages to the
United States of the Reciprocity Treaty, in
cluding the fishing question, are set forth in
detail, and the report closes by reference to
the action of the various Northwestern cities
in favor Of truly reciprocal trade, commerce
and navigation between this country and the
British provinces.

Effects OF Inhaling the Fumes of Phospho-


Two years ago young girl working in
match mandatory near this city had one of
her front teeth extracted. The fumes of phos-
phorus pervading the atmosphere in which
she lived thus daily, entering the cavity pro-
duced by loss ofthe tooth, induced a poison
Gus disease (necrosis), extending to either
side of the jaw-bone. Points of discharge
soon appeared upon the surface of the skin.
This went on for two years, minor operations
being made at times, to take away diseased
portions of bone. At the end of these two
years it was found necessary to resort to an
extreme operation, and-i was completed on
Saturday, March 10th, at St. Vincent's Hos
pital, in presence of Drs. Mott, Van Buren
and others. The entire jaw-bone, from side
to side, was removed, and the tongue fastened
down TO prevent suflocation, until such time
as the part should heal. This young girl is
now terribly deformed, can take only liquids
hereafter for sustenance-all the beauty of life
destroyed TO her.
Twelve such cases have occurred within the
last few years. Is ii not time some means
should be taken to circulate knowledge of the
possibility of such monstrous consequences
to those who work in such places. Parents
who place their children in such factories
should know the danger they incur. The
wages should be proportoned to the risk, or
at least some provision should be made for
any one suffering so enormously from such
cause New York Evening Post.
