SALT FoR SwINE-While all other domestic
animals are regularly supplied with salt, the
hog is generally neglected. He requires, how
ever. to be as constantly supplied as the OK, the
horse, or the sheep, and suffers as much for
privation as either of the above named animals
do. His food is almost invariably given to him
in fresh and unseaseHed state, and to this fact
we may doubtless attribute many of the violent
and fatal diseases to which be is subject, and
which stagger all remedies, however promptly
regularly req, seasoned, there should be trough or
box in, every sty, in which salt may be @posi-
ted regularly for the use of animals. Season
ing the food judicieusly would be much the
best way. As seasoning the food of the hog is
only is here alluded to, forif any person should
try seasoning with pepper they will make a
great, mistake; for as much pepper as will suf-
ice for a.man's dinner will kill ahog,

SAYINGS OF DEAN SWIFT-The following
aphoristical extracts from the writings of the
original and inimitable wit, Dean Swift, are but
specimens of the richness of the gems that
may be gathered in that Golconda Of literary
wealth:
We have just enough religion to make us
hate, but not enough to make US love one an
other.
How is it possible to expect that mankind
will take advice, when they will not SO much as
take warning?
Appollo was held the god of physic and send
er Of diseases Both were originally the same
trade, and still continue
When true genius appears in the world you
may know him by this sign, that the ounces are
all in confederacy against him.
Complaint is the largest tribute heaven re-
ceiyes and the sincerest part of our devotion
The stoical scheme of supplying our wants
by looping off our DESIRES is like cutting off our
feet when we want shoes.
The reason why so few marriages are happy
is because young ladies spend their time in ma
king nets, not in making cages.
The latter part of a wise mans life is taken
up in curing the follies, prejudices and false
opinions he had contracted in the former.
Would writer know how to behave himself
with relation to posterity, let him consider in
old books what he finds that he is glad tU know,
and what omissions he most laments.

give Immortality to none but themselves; it is
Homer and Virgil we revere and admire, not
Achilles or Eneas. With historians it is quite
the contrary; our thoughts are taken up with
the actions, persons and events we read, and we
little regard the authors.

A GOOD REcoMMENDAT1oN.-A patent med
icine vender in one of our principal cities was
dilating to large crowd upon the wonderful
efficacy of his iron bitters, pronouncing them
the great panacea, and all-potent in building
up an 'iron constitution"
'That is so-that is so," said q by-stander.
"What he tells you is a fact, gentlemen-every
sHear that, will your" cried the delighted
uuack "here is living testimony right before
your own eyes-a man who has used the Bit
ters. and can recommend them."
"No; not exactly that" replied the old fe-
low; "I have never used the stuff myself, but,
you see, Steve Jenkins did, and they jest saved
his life"
"How's that?" questioned some one.
"Well, you see, Steve had taken the bltters

Hints to Farmers.
BY THE sFAT CONTRIBUTOR"

Now that winter is approaching, it would
perhaps be as we'll to discontinue haying and
turn your attention to getting in your fall saw
logs. No farmer can consider his fall work
complete until he has his cellar we'll supplied
with saw-logs. Seated around the blazing
hearth of winters night, there is no fruit more
delicious. A correspondent asks us what we
think of late ploughing. Ploughing should not
be continued later than 10 or IL o'clock at
night. 1t gets the horse in the habit of staying
out late, and unduly exposes the plow: We
have known plows to acquire strlng-halt ana
inhammatory rheumatism from late ploughlng.
Don't do it. To another correspondent who
wants US to suggest good drain on farm we
would say heavy mortgage at ten per cent.
will drain it about as rapidly as anything we
know of.
When you make cider select nothing but the
soundest turnips, chopping them into sled
length before cradling them. In boiling your
cider use plenty of ice, and when boiling hang
it up in the sun to dry. A pick-axe should
never be used in picking apples. 1t has ten
dency to break down the vines and damage the
hive.
In sowing your winter applejack horse
rake will be found preferable to step-ladder.
Step-ladders are liable to freeze up, and are
hardly palatable unless boiled with sugar.
In cutting down hemlock trees for canning
select only the largest Don't throw away the
chips as they make fine parlor ornaments, en-
cased in rustic frames of salt and vinegar.
The coming cold weather should suggest to
the humane farmer the necessity for a good
cow-shed. The following is receipt for ma

make good cow-shed-her hair, we are no
prophet to anybody. Now is the time toI

southdown is probably the best variety, as it
don't need polling and begins to lay early.

INVITING DEATH.-The New York 7ri5uns
asserts that the cause of half the vice among
us is the ignorance of parents of the facts that
certain nervous and cerebral diseases transmit
ted from themselves tend to make of their chill
dren from their birth criminals or drunkards,
and that only incessant and skillful care can
avert the danger. The editor then goes on to
philosophize in this way:
ga man drinks moderately but steadily all
his life, with no apparent harm to himself but
his daughters become nervous wrecks, his sons
epileptics, ibertines, or incurable drunkards,
the hereditary tendency to crime having its
scrofala, consumption, or any other purely
medical men, but the majority of parents, even
those of average intelligence, are either ignor-
ant or wickedly regardless of them. There will
be chance of ridding our tails and almshouses
of half their tenants when our people are
brought to treat drunkenness as disease of the
stomach and blood as well as of the soul, to
meet it with common sense and physician, as
well as with threats of eternal damnation, and
to remove gin-shops and gin-sellers for the same
reason that they would stagnant ponds or un-
cleaned sewers Another fatal mistake is poin-
ted out in the training of ehildren-the system
of examining, hothoHse forcing of their brains,
induced partly by the unhealthy, feverish am
bition and struggle that mark every phase of
our society, and partly for the short time allow
ed for education.
t'The simplest physical laws that regulate the
the use and abuse of the brain are utterly dis
regarded by educated parents. To crafty a
mothers silly vanity during boys school days,
says the editor, many man is made incompe-
tent and useless. If the boy shows any sign
of nf
garding it as symptom of an unhealthy con-
dition. of the blood vessels or other cerebral
disease, and treating it accordingly, it is accep-
ted as an evidence Of genius. and the in1amed
brain is taxed to the uppermost, until it gives
