RAISING EARLY Figs.

Ems. RURAL NEW YoRKgR:-HaVing
had considerable experience in raising
early pigs, have adopted the following
plan in preparing for the new cOmers'
with very satisfactory results; In the
first place, select as warm place as pos
sible for the SOW. Enclose about six feet
SQUARE for the nest of a common sfzed
SOW, with boards or planks about twelve
inches wide, which will prevent the pigs
from wandering far from each other. They
will generally get back to their proper
places before, they become chilled, if con-
fined in as small place as the size of
the SOW will admit If the SOW is to &C.
cupy different place from that which she
is accustomed to, she should be placed
there few days prior to the event of
dropping her pigs, that she may become
recociled to her new quarters.
1t is very important for the nest to be
composed of fine, dry material Young
pigs generally manifest a disposition to
crawl under the nest out of sight; if
they succeed the SOW will be very sure to
step or lie on them unintentlonally II
generally use about busbel of fine cut
rye straw, as so small quantity will
render it almost impossible for them to
crawl under out of sight.
After they are two or three days old,
add enough to keep the nest dry, and the
pigs will keep clean and healthy. Never
under any circumstances, use oat or buck
wheat straw as it will make both SOW and
pigs sore and scurvy. The warmer SOW
is kept before and at the time of dropping
her pigs the more material affection she
will generally manifest for them.
Sometimes with all the precautions and
skilfnl management that Yankee ingenui-
ty can invent, sow will be determined to
kill her pigs. If mild treatment proves
unavailing, insert little riag in her
nose to make it little tender. Take an
OK wire muzzle and contract the circular
wire, 50 it will fit snugly to her head, Sc
cure it over her nose by fastening cord
around her neck or body, back of her
forelegs, to which the muzzle can easily be
tied and it will be impossible for her to
get rid of it. Everything ready, armed
with a strip of board, put the pigs down
with the SOW. If she goes in for exter-
mination, few we'll directed blows against
her nose will excite her organs of caution
and philoprogenitiveness simultaneously.
Feed bran, made thin with warm water
SO she can suck it through the wires
which she will do very readily A lesson.
from six to twelve hours in length, will
generally produce the desired effect

ANALYSIS OF THE MASS. STATE AssAYER,JAN. 2J,
When evaporate1 through clean linen it left no
oil or offensive matter. In every respect it is a
PURE spirtless liquor. The Oil which gives TO
this Brandy its flavor and aroma, is wholly unlike
fusil, or grain OIL Its odor partakes of both the
fruit and oil of grapes. With acids, il produces
ethers of a high fragrance. The substitution of
this Brandy for Cognac Brandy will do away
with the manufacture OF tictitcioes spirits, sold
under this name both at home and abroad

Brandy" with reference to its composition and
character being the same as that produced in

forded the same results with regard to purity

which its flavor depends was determined by com

~ Since his visit to Louisiana, Chief
Justice Chase has written letter in
which he says
81 shall ever regret my opposition to
Gen, Banks. am convinced now that
he was the only man who could make
Louisiana free State"
The Chief Justice is not the only man
who misunderstood and did not appre-
ciate the policy of Gen. Banks in Lousi-
ana. Had the General been allowed to
remain there and been sustained in his
efforts to make that State in fact as well
as in name free, and qualified as such to
re-enter the Union, she would have been
more advanced in that respect than she
is to-day. The testimony of the Chief
Justice on this matter will strengthen
the conviction in the minds of the CON-
munity that the Sixth District Conven-
ton did wise thing in nominating Gen.
Banks for representative.-BOston Jour-

FIRR.-The sawmill, situated on Cold
River in Mendon, and belonging to Mr..
Ii, o. Perkins of this place, was burnt
last Tuesday night, the fire being dis.
covered at about eleven o'clock. About
5000 feet Of lumber was also destroyed.
Nothing was saved except the water
wheel, upon which one of the men let
on the water by cutting away the gate,
In doing this he was somewhat scorched
by the flames. AS there had been no
fire in the mill for two or three days,
and no lanterns used, it is thought to be
without doubt the work OF an incendi.
airy. The loss is estimated at between
four and Vve thousand dollars.

l8-It will be recollected that when
Gen, Banks was in New Orleans, the
New York Tribune was down upon
him like thousand of brick" on ac-
count of his course with regard to the
negroes in Louisiana. 1t now discours-
es as follows "The Republicans of the
VI District of Massachusetts, have
evinced wisdom and patriotism in Sc
Letting Gen. N, P. Banks as their candi-
date for Congress. His experience as a
legislator and as military administra-
tor emlnently flt him for the post, and
few men can bring to the great and diff
lcult task of reconstruction a ripper
knowledge of the actual condition of
the South. Gen. Banks is no theorist,
no dreamer, but thoroughly practical
man of affairs, who sees clearly and
promptly, and acts with unsurpassed
selfpose and courage. We are heartily
glad that he is to be heard in the next
House
