Cooking Food for Stock.

The Massachusetts, State Board of Ap-
riculture discussed this subject at their
meeting III December, 1867, as we find in
the report of that body for 1868. The
speakers were all men of high character,
mature years, experienced in breeding,
keeping and fattening cattle, most of them
engaged in the dairy business-and there
was but little difference of opinion as to
the use and value of food cooked in some
way. Professor Agassiz, the illustrious
naturalist, shows in the following clear,
plain, and unmstakable language, the rca-
sons why food for domestic animals should
be prepared, it being promised that the
food we give our stock is not that which
nature provides at first hands, but is dried
and mechanically altered in many ways
Soaking or steaming restores to its wonted
bulk and Succulence; and as Professor
Agassiz said of this mode of preparing
food in general: 1T must save the secre-
ton of saliva to an enormous extent, and
therefore relieve the animal from physi-
illogical labor which is very manifest. /
have no doubt that must be the chief
source of relief to the cattle, because dry
food must be softened in order to be d-
gcstcd; and it must be done by the secre-
tions of the moutl-by the sccretory sur
faces OF the allmentary canal-and, in fact,
by all the secretory surface of the digestive
apparatus. Now, where does that come
from? From the blood; and if you supply
the food so far softened that the animal is
relieved from that physiological labor, you
place your animal i'll much better condi-
ton for its work. have no doubt that
there is the explanation of your results
that your steam performs 4 part of the
operation which your animal has to do
itself by its secretion"

Essex Pigs.

The Essex is the largest of the small
breed of pigs-larger than the small York
shire, or Suffolk, or small Berkshire. 1t is
in fact, what is known in England as
medium or middle breed. At twelve or
fourteen months old, we have had them
dress over 400 TBS. They are entirely black,
but when dressed are as white as the whit
est. Their flesh is remarkably firm, and
the lard of the best quality. They have
small bones, small upright ears, short
snout, good cheek and shoulders square
bodies, short legs, and capital hams They
are remarkably compact. and appear much
smaller than they really are. They are
the quietest and most gentle of all pigs;
are good breeders and mothers. But their
browning excellence is their purity of breed
and, as consequence, they impress their
good qualities with great force on any COM
mon sows with which they may be crossed.
They will improve any breed with which
they are crossed. We have crossed them
with the large Berkshires, with perhaps
slight reduction in size, but with marked
improvement in form, fattening qualities
and early maturity. Crossed with large,
coarse, Chester White SOW, we get pigs
either all black or black-and-white. For
large, common pigs to be kept until they
cross is admirable. For smaller rigs, with
less bone and offal, and that will fat at
nine months or year old, another cross
with the Essex is desirable. A third cross
would give pigs almost as fine boned as the
pure Essex. Such pigs can be fattened at
four or five months, old, and afford the
choicest and most delicate of fresh pork
an article as yet almost unknown in our
general markets, but which, when once
known, is sure to command good prices.
From the smallness of offal and exceed
ingly quiet disposition, the Essex are easy
keepers. They are good graziers. We
know of no breed superior to them in this
respect. With the run of good clover
pasture, well-wintered grade or thorough
bred Essex pigs will keep in fine growing
condition all summer, and if allowed in
such a pasture, two or three ears of corn
each per day, with access to fresh water
will grow very rapidly, and he at all times
ready for the butcher. This is the cheap
est way of making pork. For the mere
purpose of making pork we would not
recommend the thorough bred Essex
They are too fine and delicate. Their great
value consists in their capacity of improv-
ing any of the large, coarse breeds, or in
fact, any kind of common pigs. For this
purpose they must be bred pure. What
farmer needs to improve his stock is thor
o"gh-Jred males. And in pigs there is no
breed more thoroughly established than

The market opened the street early hour. The
first sales l204 but the price quickly declined

it remained short time. 1t not long before gold

recorded sale was at 1l9, but this followed by
decline to lls5. It subsequently to 1873, and
after this the market hung around 1194@1199 for

We learn from the Euiaula (Alabama) News that as
experiment, a contract has been made with an
agent who visited Brunswick, for about 200 Chinese,
from Cuba and if they give satisfaction it is the in
tention to much larger number-say 2OOO
This contract is different from those usually made for
the importation of laborers from China and will not
conflict with, or be interrupted BY any law of Con.
gress. Nor will it be interfered with by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba Who for political reasons and the
sympathy of the Chinese with the Cuban insurgents,
will not object to their departure from the island
With these constant and reliable aborers the progress
of the work of construction will be much more rapid
and satisfactory.

confidence that Prussia will be whipped. The whole

Prussians, and the chassepot has decided advantage
over the needle gun. The artillery service has been
considerably strengthened by the revolving cannons

SUPREME Court DEcIsIoNs.-In the case OF the

of which are given in an extract we republsh from
the Ouachita Telegraph the Judges were equa ny Oh

was continued. There only four Judges present.
The case of Allen vs.. Cutif, involving the title OF
the property known as the Brooks House, was con-

and the defendant in this suit, had previous to sub
hitting it to the Court, agreed to compromise, CIV
