EARLY FATrgNING.-The fattening season
has commenced. The philosophy of increase
of fat in animals is, that the digested food
not needed to supply waste in the system, is
laid up in the form of fat around the mus
cles. Judicious management in thc selection
and preparation of food, and in the time of
feeding. will greatly serve to increase this
surplus matter. Early fattening is by far
the best. The same amount Of food given in
warm weather will afford a greater amount
of fat than when fed 10 cold weather, less
being needed to supply animal heat. Early
pork generally brings also a much better
price. Regularity in feeding is desirable.
cleanliness should not be overlooked. Hogs
in their wild state are clearly, and have ac-
quired filthy habits only from domestication.
In a clean, healthy condition they will keep
far better; Variety Of food also eonduces to
good appetite, in the same manner as with
man. Numerous trials have abundantly
proved that cooked food is the most economi-
cal. 1t digests much more easily than raw,
yields more nourishment, and is better rel
ished by most animals. Many who have
tried this method, claim to have made from
one-third to one-half saving in grain, and a
gain of as much more in time. In one ex-
pertinent. three bushels Of boiled corn per
day were fed totwenty-seven hogsfor ten days.
The average gain was two pounds per day.
Afterward, three bushels of raw cora pei
day were fed to the same lot of hogs fol-
twenty days. They gained a mere trifle over
one pound per day. Being small, young
hogs, they did not, Of course, fatten as fast
as larger ones would have fattened

4 ToN OF HAY BY MEAsURE.-it is . mat
ter of considerable dispute how much hay in
the noo,o ought to be allowed, as a ton in
weight. In some Of tine agricultural jour
nails figures widely apart are given as correct
Some assert that . cubic of 10 feet square ls
required. or 100 cubic feet while others
place it as low as 6 feet square and 3 feet
deep. or only 392 cubic feet. Now, both of
these cannot be right, neither can any meas
uae be fixed upon to hold good under all cir
cumstances. Hay, at the bottom of the NOW,
will be more solid than at the surface. and
the whole will be very much affected by the
quantity of grain put on top of it (if any
and the depth of hay.
But having occasion to sell a ton in nay
harm. to be sure of the quantity for future
reference, 1 measured OFF a space 8 feet
square on one corner Of the NOW, and cut
down 7 feet deep, and found the hay removed

SHALL vs. LARGE FARMs-Robezt Bake
well, the celebrated English farmer, used to
tell the following anecdote of a farmer in
Liecestershire
This farmer, who owned and occupied
1000 acres of land had three daughters
When his eldest daughter married, he gave
her one quarter of his land for her portion,
but no money and he found by a little more
speed, and q little better management, the
product of his farm did net decrease. He
then set to work, and began to grub up his
furze, and fern, and plOwed up what he
called his poor, dry furze, covering in some
places nearly half the land. After giving
half his land away to two of his daughters,
to his great surprise he found that the prod
uct increased he made more money, because
his new broken up furze land brought exces-
sive crops, and at the same time he farmed
the whole of his land better, for he employed
more laborers upon it he rose two hours
sooner in the morning, had no more dead
fallows once in three years instead of which
he got two green crops in one year and ate
| them upon the land. When the third and
last daughter married, he gave her $50 acres,
or half of what remained, for her portion,
and no money. He then found that he had
the same money to farm one quarter of the
land that he had at first to farm the whole.
Foul WATER IN WELLs.-Some wells fur
nisn periodically water unpleasant to the
taste, and doubtless unwholesome The bad
taste usually comes out in the summer at
low stages of water, and disappears with the
winter rains, when the wells are full. This
occurs when the temperature of the WI ter is
raised sufficiently to allow the moderately
rapid decomposition of organic substances
which might otherwise remain without Civ
ing any hint of their presence. These cub
stances may be derived from several sources {;
tie most usual is from leaves and small ami
mails falling into the well. In examining one
of these tainted wells recently, we found that
d lead pipe had been put into the well lead
ing very near the sink drain, and the filth of
the sink followed the outside of the pipe into
the we'll. Sometimes other causes of poIlu-
ton are in close proximity. We cannot be
too careful in securing pure water for family
use at all seasons of the year. Quite often
the secret of disease is found in the well.
Temporary relief may be found in the use of
charcoal, but this does not relieve the heads
OF the family from the responsibility of ferret
ing out and stopping the cause. Throw a
peck or half bushel of good charcoal on the
fire let it get partially ignited throughout {;
then take it out, crack the large Jumps, and
put it Immediately into a ret gunny bag or
any tCet sack of coarse, open stuff. Put into
the bag, also, n stone weighing ten pounds OF
more, and, attaching a cord, lower it to the
bottom Of the well. Churn it up and down
q few times. and after an hour, repeat the
:. churning,'' and this time fasten the cord so
that the bag Will hang near the surface of the
water. Repeating the operation in a few
hours the water will probably be sweet and
healthy for several days.-Amerlcdn Agriclt

We FADE AS A LEAF.-As the trials
Of life thicken, and the dreams Of other
days fade one by one, in the dim vista
of disappointed hope, the heart grows
wenry Of the struggle, and we begin to
realize our insignifcance. Those who
have climbed the pinnacle of fame, or
revel in luxury and wealth, 60 to the
grave At last with the poor mendicant
who bcgs pennies by the wayside, and
like him are forgotten. Generation af-
ter generation, says an eloquent modern
writer, have felt rs we feel, and their
fellows were as active In life rs ours are
now. They passed away as q rapor,
while nature wore the same aspect as
when her Creator commanded her to be.
And so likewise shall it be when we are
gone. The heavens will DO rs bright
over our graves as they are around our
path ; the world will have the same at
traction for our offspring yet unborn
that she once had for ourselves, and
that she has now for our children. Yet
a little while and all this will have hap
pened. Days will continue to move on,
and laughter and the song will be heard
in the very chamber In which we died I;
and the eye that mourned for US will be
dry, and will glisten with JOY ; and even
our own children will cease to think Of
US, and will not remember to lisp our
names.

THE INDIANS.

There is scarcely a paper published
in the country lying between the Mis-
souri, and Columbia that does not con-
tain accounts Of murder, robbery and
general outlawry on the part of the
Indians. There has been, as yet, no
organized system of warfare such as
that against which we contended last
summer, but every mail brings with it
stories of fresh outrages committed by
the very tribes with whom treaties OF
peace were at that time concluded. 1t
was hoped by some persons that the
Peace Commissioners, with General
Sherman at their head, would succeed
in putting an end forever to the depre-
dations of the savages. We did not
believe that hope would be realized,
because the savagesihad no material in
ducement whatever to respect their
promises. But it must be admitted that
they are not alone to blame. Part Of
the responsibility for the present inse-
curity Of our frontier rests with Con-
gress. The treaties negotiated by the
Commissioners last year, have not re-
eeived any attention from Congress.
They have not been ratified, and their
provisions have not been fulfilled upon
our part. It is hardly fair to find fault
with the breach Of faith on the part Of
the Indians, when the great Government
which assumes to govern them neglects
to do its duty in the matter. Nor is it
surprising that with the continued in
ceutive to ~treachery offered by the in
sincerity of Congress, and by the ras.
cali,y of Government agents, they
should conclude, as they have done on
former occasions, that we are t~riling
with them, and do not intend to treat
them fairly.
But this condition Of things cannot
last. Something must be done to
relieve the border from the %harassing
presence of these marAuders. Il will
not do to wait that slow process of decay
which, it is asserted, will eventually
blot out the race Of the red man. The
highest and best interests of the coun-
try demand that the Government shall
no longer trife with the matter, but
that an energetic, decisive aud just
policy shall be adopted, and measures
instituted for the punishment or concil-
iation of the Indians. It seems clear
that the transfer Of the Indian affairs to
the War Department under the control
of a competent minister, and the cor
dial cooperation of Congress with that
Department, will ecu q beneficial re-
suit. It is to be hoped that some action
will be taken by Congress before it ad-
~journs, to atone for its past neglect, and
to obtain satisfactory results in the
future.

DISCUSSED WITH Il CoUNTRY.-A

try, saw nothing to admire, in fact be-
came so disguised with the whole region
of the plains and the mountains, so far

they should be desired, and when he
got back to his Chicagoan paradise gave
vent to his feelings after the following
fashion
A few more excursions Of this sort into the
barren region Of the Western Plains will en-
tirely disabuse the public mind in regard to
that country and its products" The much
talked Of settles" ofthe Plains are evidences
rather Of barbarity than Of civilization, and
as it is simply impossible that they can ever
become selt:sustaining, it is only a question
Of time as to their status or existence. Let

chanic be tempted to try his fortune in q

in excess Of the demand. Let no fortune
