NV WAY TO FrrEN Hoes During
our visit at the East, we were asked to
look at some fatting hogs in the stye of
DIR. Caleb Plaistridge, Of Lebanon, n.
III. They We're very fine ones, but not
as good, we were told, as the doctor
usually raises. His system is this: for
twenty years past he has planted one
fourth acre of sweet corn, and killed
three hogs. The hogs have good
large, airy stye, with feeding-troughs so
arranged that they cannot interfere
with each other at feeding time, and
free access to alarge, dryyard, through
which runs clear spring of water.
When his sweet corn is large enough
to roast, he commences feeding it, stalk
and all, in the yard, giving them all
the swill they will eat. This he con-
tinues until they refuse to eat the
stalks, after which the balance of the
corn is fed in the ear, and the fatting
process finished with corn meal. Dur
ing the whole twenty years he has failed
but twice of killing hogs of over five
hundred pounds weight each, and he
gives credit for most of the weight &c
the sweet corn. He says, properly fed
it adds at least two hundred pounds &c
each of his hogs Until the frost kills
it, they viii eat the sweet corn, stalks
and all.-Pontiac Jocksohiaa.

AGES OF MILITARY MEN.

The atlantic Moatbiy for April,
opens with Fighting Facts for Fo-
gies, in which the author, c. c, Haze
well, proves that successful military
men have been as often old as young.
We quote from this article the follow
ing interesting statement respecting
the ages Of prominent military men of
the United States, beginning with
Washington.
Washington was in his 44th year
when ne assumed command of the
Revolutionary armies, and was so when
he took Yorktown.
Gen Taylor was in his cd year
when the Mexican war began, and in
less than a year he won the battles OF
Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Mont
Grey and Buena Vista. He to was bad
" supported.
The secession war has been conduc-
ted by elderly or middle aged men
General Lee, whom the world holds tc
have displayed the most ability in it
is about Sc, Gen. Rosecrans is Al anc
and Gen Grant AZ, Stonewall Jackson
died at 81, Gen Banks is As, Gen
Hooker 45, Gen. Beauregard 46, Gen
Bragg 40, Gen. Burnside 40, Gen
Gilmore 80, Gen Franklin Al, Gen
Magruder SO, Gen. Meade As, Gen
Schuyler Hamilton AZ, Gen. Charles
S. Hamilton 40, and Gen Foster 40
Gen. Lander, a man of general prom
Use, died in his 40th year, Gen Kear
ney was killed at AZ, and Gen. Steven!
at As, Gen. Sickles was in his 4ls
year when he was wounded at Gettys
burg, and Gen. Reyno was 81 wher
he died so brayely at South Mountain
Gen. Pemberton lost ViclIsburg at 45
Gen. Z. w. Sherman is A, Gen. Nj,
Clellan was in his 35th year when he
assumed command at Washington il
1861, Gen. Lyon had not completed
the first month of his ADD year whel
he fell at Wilson's Greek, Gen. M,
Dowell was in his 43d year when h'
failed at Bull Run, in consequence o
the coming up of Gen. Joe johnson
who was 81, Gen. Reyes is 53, Gen
Kelley 81, Gen. King 40, and Gen
Pope Al, Gen. A. S. johnson was 5!
when he was killed at Shiloh, Gen
Hallock is As, Gen. Longstreet is 40
The best of the southern cavalry lead
ors was Cen Ashby, who was killed a
3S, Gen. Stewart 1929. On our side
Gen. Stanley is 30, Gen. Pleasantoi
40, and Con. Ayerill about 30, Gen
Phelps is 81 Gen. Polk So, Gen. S
Cooper IS, Gen. ]. Cooper 81, an'
Gen. Blunt 80. The list might b.
much extended, but very few younl
men would be found in it--or Yer,
few old men, either. The best of on
leaders are men who have passed be
You'd middle life, or who may be sal,
to be in the enjoyment of that stage o
existence. 1t is SO, too, with the rob
els If the war does not afford man
facts in support of the positions tina
old generals are very useful, neithe
does it afford many to be quoted b.
those who hold that the history of he
roism is the history of youth.

HONE MADE PoUDRErrE.- the sea-
son for the purchase and use of ma
nures is close at hand, any suggestions
which may lead to an increase of the
home supply, will not be without value
To those who may wish supply Of
poudrette without the high market
cost, the following directions will be
valuable. Procure any large box or
cask, such as sugar box or molasses
hogshead, fill it about three-fourths
full Of pulverized muck, place in con-
venient position, and make it the re-
ceptacle of the soap-suds and all the
waste material from the family A
short time before using take ont and
thoroughly mix together. Any farmer
ga gardener can in this way furnish
himself with good supply of fertil-
izer at q triAing cost, and which is real
ly more valuable than the poudrette
which is purchased in cities at a great
cost.-PiOwmQn

THE PARsNrp. The parsnip is one OF
the most valuable roots that can be
grown. In the Island of Jersey it is
used almost exclusively for fattening
both cattle and swine. According to
Lo Contour, the weight of good crop
varies from thirteen to twcnty-seycn
tons per acre. When parsnips are
given to mich cows with a little hay,
in the winter season, the butter is
found to be of as fine color and OK
cellent flavor as when the animals are
feeding in the best pastures. AS pars-
nips contain six per cent. more muci-
lagc than carrots, the difference may
be sufficient to account for the fact
that in fattoning of cattle the parsnip
is found superior to the carrot, per-
forming the business with more cxpe-
dition and at1ording meat of exquisite
and highly juicy flavor; the animals
eat it with much greediness. The re-
suit of experiment has shown that not
only in neat cattle, but in the fatten-
ing of hogs and poultry, the animals
become fat much sooner, and more
healthy than when fed with any other
root or vegetable, and that, besides,
the meat is more sweet and delicious.
The parsnip leaves being more bulky
than those of carrots may be mown
off before taking the roots, and given
to oxen, cows, or horses, by which they
will be greedily eaten. Another thing
in favor of parsnips in this country is
-hat the frost does not iniuro them
They remain in the ground unit
spring, when they make splendid feed
at time every other root is scarce, on
they may be slightly buried, where
they can be obtained almost any time
during the winter. On account Of
of their rapid growth when young the
wedding is less troublesome than
wedding Michjgan Farmer.

KEEP Stock OFF THE MEADows--Many
meadows are seriously injured 10y stock
in the spring months. They are per-
mitted to run upon them when the
frost is leaving the ground, which is
soft and easily cut by the 'hoofs OF
horses and cattle. The scanty picking
they get will not begin to compensate
for the damage they cause the meadow
When the ground is soft, as it is al
ways in the spring, stock should be
carefully excluded 1t is also very bad
policy to pasture meadows in the fall
Every sprig is generally eaten off, and
the ground and roots are left cold and
naked. If the growth after cutting
the grass had been left, it would have
acted as mulching, keeping the roots
warm and uninjured by the severity o.
winter A good coating Of aftermath
(rowen) lying on the ground all win
ter is equivalent to a covering of snow
which all know to be beneficial to land

Look INTO THE CnLAR We call the
attention Of every householder to the
subject of cellars; not because we sup
pose that all or many of our readers
are in the habit of neglecting this most
useful apartment, but because it is of
the highest moment both for health
and convenience, that it should be
clearly to fault, We have some rea-
son to suppose, from actual obserya-
ton, that there are many cellars, which
hayenot been thoroughly cleansed since
they became cellars. Toneglect TO re-
move all old and decaying vegetables,
rotten wood, and everything that 10y
undergoing decomposition, may be
come offensive, is one Of the most SLOW
only shortcomings Of the husbandman
Cellars should not only be cleansec
of everything offensive, and boards
sticks, barrels, tubs, not III immediate
use, removed early in the spring, bu
it should be swept and whitewashed
and by AL means should be well ventil
atod. There should be no cobwebs, o
dust upon the ceiling overhead. Floor
should be kept dry and clean. W
have said this much upon the subject
because il is one Of the most useful AN
important departments of the house

Foul HooF IN SHEEP. Sheep which
run upon low, wet lands, especially on
sour black muck and among cut grass,
arc apt to be troubled with foul hui
mors in the feet, of all grades, from a
mere tester to the most malignant, gen
uine foot rot Usually all but the last
can be cured by putting the sheep up
on dry land, cleansing the feet with
soap-suds and giving them touch of
oil or ointment.
But when they get the real foot-rot,
no easy treatment viii fully eradicate
the evil. We believe, however, that
nearly all sheep men are Of an opinion
that the most virulent foot-rot can be
cured, if the sheep have life enough in
them TO stand the treatment The usu-
al practice is to cut away the shell OF
the hoof and the diseased parts with a
sheep knife SO the virus shall have nc
lurking place to fcstor in and then
cleanse the foot and apply solution OF
blue yitIiol to kill the seeds of the dis.
ease. This application Of blue yitrio
or sulphate of copper (copperas) leaves
a color on the foot which sensitive hocl
masters do not like to have seen on
their sheep, which suggests the cause
for which it was applied. TO remedy
this, Mr.. Eli Keller, noted wool-grow-
er near Newark, whose Aocks we visit
ed in January last, told us that hepre
ferred n solution of white yitliol (sul
plate of zinc) and little nitric acid
This does not color the foot like cop
peras and is equally good to cure The
disease.

FoRmGN POPULATION IN BosroN.-In
1850 the population of Boston was
$4,000. As nearly as could be esti-
mated by the imperfect census of that
decade 1890 were Americans with
American parontage, and the residue,
or about 10000, foreigners or children
of foreigners, chiefly Irish. Probably
these data were not correct, and the
proportions Of those of foreign origin
was even larger. Since then how mo-
mentus has been the change by the
census of 1860 the American portion
Of our population is reduced from IT,
600 TO $4,000. The foreign has been
increased from 10000 to 124, 900. Thus
according TO the census Of 1860 less
than one-third of Boston are of ma
five origin, and more than two-thirds
are foreign Ii is true that quite a
respectable portion of the latter are
Scotch, German, and Irish Professionals
more respectable, however in charac-
ter position, influence, and property
than In numbers. The great momcn.
.ous fact remains that at least tire,
Gfths of Boston, so far as it has any
faith, are Roman Catholic, and less
than two hiths are Protcstants.
