AGRICULTURAL, &C.
breeding Sows.

Every farmer is aware of the great liabili-
ty to loss in getting litter of pigs through
the first two weeks of their lives. The SOW
not unfrequently dev0urs them as soon as
dropped, or if not, they are more or less
liable to be killed by the mother lying down,
before the little grunters have acquired
sense or strength enough to avoid the
danger. The agriculture Reciep gives some
sensible advice in regard to the management
of breeders, from which we extract the fol-
lowing, suggesting farther that the litter
should, after two or three weeks, be allowed
considerable out of door liberty. 1t does
them good to frolic on the grass and learn
to stick their little shoe hammers in the
ground.
The food Of the sows should be varied
and moderately salt; abundant enough to
keep them thriving, yet not sufficient to
tattcn. 1t is well to give them charcoal
occasionally, and a trifc of sulphur. The
/ slops of the house are good feed All this
tends to keep the appetite in healthy state
and to destroy the tendency of the swine
to devour their young. They should not
| be closely confined, small yard at least
should be attached to their sleeping pens
for them to go into at will. Change of
quarters, especially when near the time of
giving birth to their young, is apt to work
injury, and should be carefully made if
necessary, They should be supplied with
a great abundance of straw or other suitable
bedding, and allowed to work it down
somewhat fine and compact, and into a bed
OF their own liking. In winter time it re
qures warm pen, and ample bedding and
care to raise the young pigs. If poles arc
around the sides of the pen high enough
from the floor to give room for the pigs un-
derneath, III will frequently save them from
being laid on and killed, as the SOW cannot
press close enough to the wall to injure
them, and she is not so apt to kill them in
other positions as in this one.
During the first week in the age of tho
pigs the mother should be disturbed as lit
tie as possible. Especially strangers should
i. not approach her. Give her warm drink
and but small quantity of food. If she is
doing well and is quiet, and takes care OF
her young, "let we'll enough alone" After
a weeks time you can feed more, and when
they eat, you will have ample space TO dis
pose of all the spare meal and buttermilb
, your premises afford"

SWEET PoTAroEs.-Thc farmers have
great difficulty in keeping sweet potatoes
through the winter. A Jersey man" who
was partly raised in q sweet potato patch
tells us how they keep their potatoes in Ier-
sey. The Jersey men have long since dis
carded the different modes of packing in
sand, leaves, saw dust OF anything else. They
simply dig their potatoes in dry spell, be-
fore frost, lay them out on the ground to dry
in the sun, and before the dew of evening
begins to fall, they haul out to the patch"
the boxes and barrels they propose to put
the potatoes in, and lay them in, carefully
handling them all the while as carefully as
eggs, so as not to bruise them. They then
haul them to the house and pile up the boxes
( and barrels in corner of the kitchen care
| fully, so as not to bruise them and L kept
at the right temperature through winter
they are bound to keep, you don't eat them

LIES AUTUMN.-Like the leaf, life has
its fading. We speak and think of it with
sadness, just as we think of the autumn sea
son. But there should be no sadness at the
fading of a life that has done we'll its work.
If we rejoice at the advent of O new life
if we welcome the coming of a new pilgrim
to the uncertainty of this worlds way, why
should there be 50 much gloom when all
the uncertainties are past, and life at its
waning wears the glory of complete task ?
Beautiful as childhood is in its freshness and
innocence, its beauty is that of untried life
1t is the beauty of promise, of spring, OF
bud. A holier and rarer beauty is that which
the waning life of faith and duty wears. II
is the duty of thing completed and as
men come together when some great work is
achieved, and see in its concluding nothing
but gladness, SO ought we to feel when Tho
setting filings back its beams upon a life
that has answered well its purposes. Wher
the bud drops are blighted, and there goes
all hope of the harvest, one may well bc
sad; but when the ripened year sinks annie
the garniture of autumn flowers and leaves
why should we regret or murmur2 And 81
a life that is ready and waiting to hear tn,
''wcll done" of God, whose latest virtues
are its noblest should be given back t.
GOD in accomplishing reverence, we reioic
ing that earth is capable of SO much glad
ness and is permitted such virtue.

The BONES OF BULL RUN.-A correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing
of visit to the battlefield of Bull Run, says:
THE first sight that greeted my eyes at
Manassas Junction, was a forcible reminder
of the war. Two huge piles of bones, horse
bones, cattle bones, and, sad to say, human
bones intermingled, lay whitening right in
front of the hotel. They are picked off the
battle field by the owners of the soil, and
carted here for shipment by the cars, to be
ground into fertilizers, at some mill in Bal
iimore. The price here is "a penny pound
A pair of platform scales were standing ready
by the railway track to weigh the deliveries
and several tons of bones had been shipped
One man, with girl to help him, collected
in two days bones enough to come to $l6
My landlord, Pennsylvania Dutchmal
named Warner, brought out a long and pow
erful looking bone from behind the bar, say
ing Here now is some poor fellows thigt
bone" The sight was not one to inspire
cheerful reflections. In another great heal
were piled masses of camp kettles, broker
musket barrels, wheel-tire, solid shot an'
broken shells, fragments of swords, bits
wagon gear, old rusty fire-locks and the like
This. too, is for the market, the last,relics o
the huge debris of destruction OF whic
every battle is the fruitful parent"

The Belgians claim to be the first to dis
cover the uses Of coal, and this discovery
they say, was made by one Hullos, black
smith of the village of Plenevaux, near
Liegc, in the year l049, from whose name
they derive "houillc." Coal was first used
in London in the latter part of the thirteenth
century; but the smoke was considered SO
injurious to the public health that Parlia.

The miseries of war are depicted by o
Mexican correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune as follows "A singular and sad
fortune has befallen the families of the prin-
cipal victims of this cruel war Castillo was
shot within an hour of his arrest. His wife,
the innocent cause of his apprehension, has
gone mad. Meja was shot with the EN-
peror, and the ladies of Queretary had his
body embalmed. The day he fell his wife
was found on the floor of her house, sur
rounded by candles and crucihx, from
which she could not be torn, moaning inco
herently, and her reason gene. The case O.
Mrs. Miramon is very similar. A lady of in
telligence, with family OF six children
six months ago, when she journeyed from
Paris to Mexico, little dreamed of the fat,
of herself and gallant husband"

There are one hundred and forty English
burial grounds around Sebastopol, extend

yards are said to be so overrur with weeds
and brambles that many tombs arc no longer
