FafgenfuR Swine

Farmers begin to fatten swine too late Some d.

Our best managers make it .ue to keep the animal
growing without ntermssion from the first period OF
its existence until ready for the porkub. If kept

scn to vigorous growing animal is worth much more
than fed in cold weather in winter Oae reason
that farmers fad it improbable TO fat!en pork is that
large part of the process has to be performed when
the weather has become cold that much OF the feed
is required merely fer sustaining animal warmth.
The best pork raiser We know Of has il instance

The PFOSnSct,


The gloom OF the enemy, occasoned by their pro-
tracted, exhausting and futile e,rs to- conquer u.s.
sometimes leads them to an honest perception of the
truth as to their prospects. The following is from
late speech of Gov. Seymour, of New York:
Now, you know that that monstrous army that we
gave them nine months ago has been so nearly
annihilated that another call for five hundred
thousand men is made upon US, aud we are
not in as good condition as we were then. That
part of Louisiana and of Arkansas wes5 of the
Mississippi river that was wrested from them has
sumed the offensive, and invaded Missouri ITSELF The
great army of Sherman that attacked and captured At
lante, has its rear communications attacked aud
dangered by large bodies of rebels. Go into Virginia.
and what do you find there3 Instead of the army OF
Lee reduced down to a skeleton, it year ago.
1t has sustained itself thus far with fall force and great
power, and it is strong in numbers to day. Now,
believe that notwithstanding your political views and
political prejudices, you will admit that our armies
have done their work. We in common with our Re
publican friends have honored the of Grant and
Farragut, Sherman Sheridan and all the heroes Of the
War but we all cannot deny that their Efforts have
been unsuccessful, and the blame ia not with our
armies.
