FArrENING Pros. a recent
meeting of an Irish Farmers Club, the
breeding and feeding of pigs being un-
der discussion, the leading speaker
submitted the following suggestions
under the latter division Of the sub
ject:
In order to do this you will require
dry floors, fresh air and cleanliness -
Foul air encourages disease;r cold air
consumes food III making heat that
ought TO make fat. It would not be
practicable to put IN a growing store to
take fat. nor would it be judicIous to
nut in a coarse dwarf to make a good
bacon hog. You must have a full
grown, fair-conditioned ANIMAL pos.
sessing at least some of the principle
points to which we have already al
iuded, and with this and proper atten-
ton it is not easy to conceive the ra-
pidity with which a pig will fatten.-
There should not be more than sIz
kent in one stv. The farmer has i've
principle ingredients for this purpose
viz. grain. potatoes, SWedes, mangolds
and fcabbage. The roots well bolieC
and well bruised, the grain also vel
boiled-take equal parts of Indian anc
oatmeal and any of the grains men
toned you may have, as crushed beans
peas, vetches. rye or barley, with III
lie pollard and salt. made IN thick
cruel. added to the roots aud left e
ferment and sour, and always given II
q lukewaTm state, at regular hours
three times a day. The less excite
ment and annoyance the better, and I
desire for sloth and sleep encourages
bv watching his comforts, and tn
words made applicable that are some
times used with some easy going an
quiet dispositions
ssTo eat and drink and sleep; what then
To eat and drink and sleep again"

OsAaE ORANGE HEDGE. Professor
Turner, of Illinois, is quoted as recon-
mending no trimming whatever for the
first three years, till the trees are an
inch through, except clipping back
some OF the stronger plants to keep
the row even. They are then laid
partly down In the following manneY /.
One man pulls the TOP of the trees
with a hook, while the other outs
them off close &c. the ground and bends
them down 20 an angle Of about 45 de-
grees. IF much lower, some of the
stems viii die out. New shoots spring
up perpendicularly, ard bind the whole
together so that il is impossible for
anything TO pass through. We have
tried this method, and found it to be
successful, and to answer weA for q
common fence; but to have a neat and
handsome fence. the usual method q
cutting to successive heights, and

An Incident supposed to nave Hap,
pened Mt ,Eairmont.
Erolll tha RleI.hnrlnoll .Airoo


A ludicrious and laughable incident
tween ClRrksburg and Wheeling not
long since, which will bear relating:
The place they called the hotel, stood
on the hill near the Court House, The
most of the business was transacted in
the bar-room, by a long, lanlS, bare
footed youth OF about twenty summers
from the Soles of his bare shanSs to
the crown of his uncombed head, he
will measure about five feet and up
wards. About 10 o'clock at night a
gentleman and his wife got off the train
and was directed to this hotel to lodge
during the night. On arriving at the
said hotel, they found that the
landlord, cooks, servants and every
one about the premises, had re-
tired to the peacefdl departments OF
Morpheus. However, after consideFa-
BILE hammering and wrapping at the
door, some one from within answered
their call. When the door opened
there he stood dressed in short shirt
very short fndeeG-With candle In
hand. As the lady and gentleman en-
tered. the candle bearer shifted posi-
ton, wheeled 70 the right abouti and
with accelerated speedS aseended the
stairs. and beat q retreat 70 his room,
bearing in his hand all the while the
lighted candle-immed diRtely on enter
ing his room, he popped his head out
ut the door, reaching them the candle,
telling them there was q Foom-oh tothe
left in which they could stay all night
AS he went lying to his quartereS with
rapid strides up the stair, he looked
like the shadow CT flying ghost.

The ROunIy Lie.
FIonl the Philadelphia Pres,


We have received from several of our
soldier readers requests to refute the
contemplate falsehood uttered by An
drew Johnson and re-echoed by his fol-
lowers, to the effect that Congress had
voted twice as much bounty to the ne
gro soldiers as to the white. The fol-
lowing extract from the New York II.i-
bune refers to this subject:
The World says:
"Some of our Radical friends don't
seem to relish this little item of ours,
but we publish it again in hopes 1t may
yet do them good. Congress has APP
propriated pay for two years. service
as follows:
For each negro sOldier.......,.......... 100
For each white soldier....................5
For each member of Congress. 900
"Let US briefly expose the inetfable
Stiffness of this impudent lie. Congress
enacted that eUeTy Union soldier in our
war who has been honorably discharged
after three years. faithful service should
receive an extra bounty of 500, while
those likewise dischared after ttgO years.
service should receive but $50. Now,
the enlisting of blacks to put down the
rebellion was not fairly, begun till 1868,
and assumed much larger proportions
in 1884; while the fighting ended in
April, 1865. OF course, most of the
blacks served less than two years, and
SO were entitled to no extra bounty;
whilescarcely a handful of them served
three years, so as to entitle them to
Sl00. On theother hand, there are many
tens of thousands ofwhites who served
through three years or over, and anoth-
er large number who served over two
years. Why utter falsehoods which
every one who reads or reflects must
k1loU to be such2"
The above is clear enough, but to
leave no room for doubt let us bring it
to light in every detail:
Soldiers of 1852 (when all were white)
received no bounty at first, but in 1854
they were asked to re.enlist, and re-
ceiVed:
/. 500 bounty (by subsequent enact
ment) for their three years service.
2. For their additional service they
States, counties and bOronghs, sums
ranging from $500 to 8, 1000 as an extra
d0uceILr. These men served until the
end of the rebellion.
Soldiers of 1862 received 500 bounty
from the Government, and, in u few
cases, bounty from home.
Soldiers OF 1883, white and black, re-
ceived 500 bounty from the Govern
ment, and additional, bounties; and
soldiers of 1854 received $500 bounty
from the Government and additional
bounties.
Some black soldiers received no
bounty whatever, particularly those
who had been slaves. The law is to
correct the neglect OF the Government
and to equallze the status of the sol
diers of 1872 and 1868, and the blacks
who received no bounty. Their right
TO such bounty must be shown by their
discharge papers.
