THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Oh Columbia, the gem OF the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriots devotion,
A world offers homage to thee
Thy mandates make heroes assemble.
When Liberty's form stands In view;
Thy banners make tyranny tremole,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue
When borne by the, Red, White and
Blue,
When borne by the Red, White and
Blue,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White ana
Blue.
When war winged its wide desolatlon'
And threatened the land to derorni'
The ark then of freedoms foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm;
With her garlands of victory around her,
When so proudlv she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the Red, White and Blue
The boast of the Red White and Blue,
The boast of the Red, White and Blue
Her flag proudly floating before her.
The boast of the Red, White and Blue
The wine cup, the wine cup bring hlther,
And fill it up to the brim; =,
Nav the wreaths they have won never Wlther,
Nor the star of their glory grow dim;
May the service united meier sever
But they to the colors prove true
The army and navy for ever;
Three cheers for the Red White and Blue,
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue,
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue,
The army and navy meier sever;
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue.

Fattening Hogs.

The cd:tor of the Ge.nantorn TelcwdpE,
having made inquiries of a farmer as to the
proiitablcncss of por? raising and the best way
to feed hogs, received reply, the substance of
which was: |. That feeding specially
coril--to hogs, will pay better Than would the
same amount fed to any other kind of farm
stock. They should be fed in.such manner
as to gain pound day. In other words, the
hog, at year old, should weigh three hundrcd
and sixty-Gvc pounds. Greater weight than
this can be produced, but the increase would
not pay the extra expense necessary to procure
it. =. One bushcl OF good shclcd corn, made
into meal and fed to the hogs regularly, in such
quantity as to prevent them from frctting for
more. will produce from five to scvea pounds
Of pork during the months of October and No
vcmbcr. After this season of the year, more
feed is required and less pork produced accord,
ing to the quantity of feed. 3 An important
point is to keep the hog growing all the time
not starving them tomcrc hog frames, during
the Summer, and then attempting to finish off
quickly on the arrival Of cold weather 4.
When put up in the tall--indccd during tho
entire scason--a comfortable shelter should be
provided, so that the hogs mayavail themselves
oft whenever storm occurs, but when the
autumna storms commence the hogs sho,sld bo
pcnncd for good till ready for slaughter,

Grain Crop vs.. Cotton Crop in the South.

-- g. III, -
1t is computed that half OF, the cotton crop
of the past year has already gone to tue market,
end has produced TO tho cotton -growcrs a
hundred and thirty-ive millions of dollars
Some weeks ago the New Orleans papers rock
oncd the amount at over hundred millions,
and considerable quantities of cotton have come
forward since The cotton growing States
have received and appropriated tho ;isais of
half the crop, and is even said that tic re-
nlalndcr will hardly suffice to meet the demands
of creditors for supplies heretofore received;
and iorpay for the supplies Ylichthcy will need
before another grain or cotton crop can be pro-
duccd. The avails of the cotton crop, Of the
past season will leave little moncyin the South.
Money is there very scarce, and is likely so to
be while the South continues to depend upon
the West t;r corn, -four and bacon and upon
the East for many articles Of manufacture that
might be made at home. The cotton crop of
the current year, though the season may bo more
favorable than the last will not, as is thought,
exceed that uf the past 5Jyr.y s-yri,,t,
will be checked by want of capital to pay
labour and purchase supplies. In this state Of
the ease, it is the obvious policy of the cotton
planters to direct their attention more earnestly
than heretofore to the production Of grain and
provisions Preparations for cotton culture
must hc made in this month or earlier, but it
is reported from various quarters that no in
creased breadth Of land is to be put iii cotton,
and many plantations worked last year have
been abandoned. ..f
The great resources of the South Is therefore,
to be found in an application of a large force to
the cultivation cf corn. This crop, which may
be maturcl in August next, WILL afford great
relief. It's cultivation requires less labor than
that of cotton. rice or sugar, and it is the
material not only for bread, but for animal
food, The value ofa crop of corn equal to all
the necessities Of the South for food, must be+
vastly greater than the value even of an in
creased crop of cotton at present prices.
Rations for fifty thousand individuals for five
months cot million Of dollars hundred
millions Of dollars would not supply with rations
ior one year greater number than two MILLIONS
of people, or one fourth of the population Of
the Southern States. The first object of the
Southern planters will be, no doubt, to produce
anample supply Of grain and provisions for the
ensuing year, though labor and capital may be
for that purpose withdrawn to some extont
from the cotton culture.

Pretty good, my son, only you might have
