THE REcoNsrRucrEp AT HOME.

The New York Tribune publishes letter

went to teach the freedmen in Virginia. She
wrote it to her brother, not knowing it would
ever appear in print. 1t shows the inner
workings Of the secession society in the Old
Dominion. This is the reconstructed society

Salt IN Fattening swine.

A correspondent states that some
interesting experiments to test the use
of salt 10 fattening swine. He selected
two pair OF barrow hogs, weighing 100
pounds apiece. One pair received
with their daily allowance of feed two
ounces of salt, the other pair, similarly
fed, none. In the course of a week,
il was easily seen that the sailed pair
had a much stronger appetite than the
Others, end after a fortnight it was in
creased to two ounces each After
four months, the weight Of the sailed
hogs was $50 pounds each, while that
ofthe unsalted, five weeks later, reach,
ed only 800 pounds. The experiment
was repeated with almost the same re-
suit. A correspondent feeds young
pigs according TO their age, a quarter
of an ounce daily to breeding sows,
very little during pregnancy, and in
the heat of summer, withholds it in
degree from all, as it induces thirst
and liability TO disease.

COUGHING HORSES.
IL is we'll known that feeding horses
on clover hay'often makes them cough,
but the why and the wherefore may
not be so generally known. From OBJ
seryation ! have become satisfied that
the manner of feeding hay 10 horses
is the cause The usual custom is 10
let them draw il through rack, thus
stripping off the fine dust which adj
heres to the stalk, which, being drawn
into the lungs in respiration, produces
the cough. The cure consists in re-
moving the cause-thati is, the racks
and allowing the animals 10 take their
food in the natural way. | have re-
moved all Of mine, and now feed my
horses on the barn floor, having a
breastw1rk sufficiently high for them
TO cat over. In this way they can be
fed hay without raising q dust, they
get none under their feet, aud the
labor of cleaning out the managers Is
saved. Whatever Is left is easily
pushed ont with a rake into the yard
for the cattle. The dust on the hay
will do the horses no harm If taken
into the stomach. Since making the
improvement above mentioned in my
feeding apparatus, / am not troubled
with coughing horses, There is no
patent on my invention; my brethren
can use il freely Correspondent
