Salt In Fatiening Swine.


A correspondent states some interesting
experiments to test the use Of salt in fat
tening swine. lie selected two pairs Of bar
row hogs, weighing 200 lbs. apiece. One
pair received, with their daily allowance of
food, two ounces of salt the other pair sim
ilarly fed, none. In the course Of Il week,
it was easily seen that the salted pair had a
much stronger appetite than the Others, and
after fortnight it was increased to two
ounces apiece. After four months, the
weight of the salted hogs was $50 lbs. each,
while that of the unsated, five weeks later,
reached only 800 lbs. The same experiment
was repeated, with almost precisely the same
results. The correspondent feeds young
pigs according to their age, quarter of an
ounce daily; breeding sows very little during
the pregnancy, and during the heat Of the
summer withholds it in degree from all
as in induces thirst and liability to disease

Serious Facts for Reflection i'm
the West.

Some time ago we noticed the remarka-
BILE fact that molasses was imported from
Boston to this city, in hogSheads, was bar
relied, and here rcsold, to be consumed by
our people. Considering that in 1850 this
State produced over million OF barrels OF
molasscs-enough to supply every man, wo-
man and child in the State with two barrels
each per annum-this fact eXhibitsa marvel
Gus revolution and furnishes serious theme
for reflection. 1t shows in pei haps more
striking manner than any other fact We can
cite, how the productive interests of the
South and indirectly the interests of the
great procurcrs and consumers of the West,
have been by the political schemes and pol
icy which have been for some time dominant
in the Government, subordinated and sacri.
feed to enrich the great capital, commercial
and manufacturing interests OF the East.
For the millions of barrels Of molasSes
produced in this State in 1860, which We
sold chiefly to the West ut $l2 barrel pay
ing back to them one half of the amount
received for their corn, flour, pork, ect,,
they and we must pay about $40 ,O0O,o oOl
for n greatly inferior article, the proceed,
and profits Of which are about equally di
vidcd between the shareholders of Cuba ant
the Negrophillsts of New England-th'
lOTulcr lol ploCuliHS anu tiiC ih''Si ioi GA
porting and diluting the said moasses.
1t is due to this and analogous facts tina
another remarkable fact is now to be noticed
in our markets, to-wit that WestphaliI
hams and English bacon can be bought a
groceries in New Orleans at the same rate
as Cincinnati hams and bacon.
Is there any thing to excite our wonde
that the West should be unable to compct
with foreign producers and manufacturers
even under the present exorbitant rates
duties when they have to pay one hundred
millions of dollars for the sugar which w
furnished them in 1860 for twenty 'hve mn
lions, and forty millions for molasses, which
we almost gave to them for the price OF thu
barrels and the cost of shipment? And t!
whom do they pay these enormous sums
To people whose whole export from tht \,
United States does not exceed eight mil
lions. .-Neo Orleans Hcdyune

How New England RObs tho
Country.

The editor Of the Ne1o England Farmer,
in his last ''Notcs on Travels" says:
"a stay of four hours at Lowell gave mo
opportunity to learn that most Of the mills
arc in operation and earning large dividends
for stock holders. | was told by a gentleman
somewhat conversant with the manufacture
of cotton, that on all light cotton goods
profit Of one dollar is made on every pound
of cotton used !"
This prof. of a dollar on pound of cot
ton comes off the hard earnings Of the peo-
pie Of the West and South. Yet strange to
say, We have had party in the West stupid
enough to favor this impoverishmento oftheir
own section Of the country, in order that
another section might become enormously
wealthy.
Ohio and Kentucky, by party machinery,
have voted in years past quite as strongly
/ for this oppression Of themselves as the New
| England manufactures, who were the gain
ers by it. 1t is gratifying to know that tho
scales are beginning to fall from off the peo.
PIES eyes, and that they now think that the
West has been robbed about long enough
BY the Eastern cotton lords. Read the fol-
lowing:

mother, looking with pride and affection on
her children. Come nearer, that may
bless you. God never forsakes the innocent
and the good. Oh, may he watch over you
in all your paths! A physician has just
been here. He was a stranger but he
spoke to me with compassion and kind
ness that was ba I'm to my heart, When
he went away he left that prescription on
the table, see If you can read 1t.
Henry glanced at the paper and started
back-he took it up as he read it through
again and again, a cry Of wonder and as
tonishment escaped him.
"What is it, my son?' exclaimed the
poor widow, trembling with apprehension
of she knew not what.
"Ah, read, dear mother? God has heard
US"
The mother took the paper from the
hands of her soon, but no sooner had she
fixed her eyes upon it than, my God!
she exclaimed, ''it is Washington, and fell
back fainting on her pillow.
The writing was an obligation from Wash
ington-for it was indeed he BY which the
widow was to receive the sum Of one hun
dred dollars, from his own private property,
to he doubled in case of necessity.
| Meanwhile the expected physician made

/ from her fainting ft They joyful surprise,
together with the good nurse with which
the physician provided her, and plenty OF
wholesome food, soon restored her to perfect
health.
The influence of Washington, who visited
them more than once, provided for the wild
ow friends who furnished her with constant
employment; and her sons, when they ar
rived at a proper age, were placed in res
pectable situation, where they were able tc
support themselves, and render the re-
mainder of their mothers life comfortable
and happy.
! Let the children who read this story, re

good Washington, that he was not above
entering the dwelling of poverty, and car

might be related of him, and which staml
