Best WAY 20 sell Hogs.

l wish to state to you that in selling my
hogs, thought l would try which was the
best way OF selling, gross or. net. Before
weighing gross, the hogs were without feed
or water for twenty-f,ur hours. They were
eighty in number, and their average
weight was 454 lbs. gross. After butchering
they averaged 3S4 lbs.
They were weighed, gross, January 9th,
and on account of warm weather were not
Sutchered until the 18th, during which time
they only had two feeds. The difference be-
tween gross and net weigh. is about 10 Der
cent. was offered $3.50 gross and 81, 10 net.
Farmers can make their calculation from this,
whether it is any benefit to them.
If had to do this over again should sell
gross, to get rid of all other trouble. although
if my hogs had been butchered Immediately
the result would have been in favor of the net
weight They were slaughtered and weighed,
and was well pleased with the way they
Were handled; but when it came tn weighing
net, was entirely satisfied-Prairie Farmer.

Poisonous Medicine.

The theory that the virus of disease can
be safely counteracted by doses of poison, is
false and dangerous. Within the last twen-
ty-five years, not less than score of viru-
lent poisons have been added to the reposi-
tory of the medical profession. They are
given in small doses, otherwise they would
destroy life Immediately; but even in mi-
mite quantities, they produce, ultimately,
very disastrous effects 1t is unwise and
unphilosophical to employ, as remedies,
powerful and insidious drugs, which, in sub
jugating ono disease, sow the seeds of an
other still more manageable. None of
these terrible medicameAts operates with as
much directness and certainty upon the
causes of disease as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitterss a tonic and corrective, without a
single deieterious ingredient in its compost
ton. Arsenic and quinia are given for In
termittents; bromide of potassium for ner-
vous disorders; strychnine and prussic acid
for general debility; mercury, in various
forms, for liver complaint; preparations of
chloroform and opium for sleeplessness !;
and yet these deadly drugs do not compare,
as specifics for the diseases above enumera-
ted, with that wholesome vegetable inyiaor-
ant and Alternative. while they are all 50 per-
nicious that 1t Is astonishing any physician
should take the responsibility OF prescrib-
ne them. Let invalids, for their own sakes
try the BEtters before they resort to thu
poisons. The relief they win experience
from q course Of the harmless specific, viii
render q recourse 20 the unsafe preparation
referred TO, quite unnecessaTyso AZ

Planters Insurance Company of
mississippi.

We are gratified to learn that this compa-
ny, the only Home Insurance company in
the State, is now in prosperous and flour
ishing condition. 1t has promptly and sat
isfactorily settled all its losses in the past,
amounting in the aggregate to over sevety
thousand dollars and without travelling
agencies, or any special effort to increase
its business, the company is doing well and
paying a handsome dividend TO its stock
holders.
All new companies have difficulties to
overcome, confidence must be established
before people are willing to patroniZe insur-
ance companies. The record of the Plant
ers' is such that it ought to be regarded as
q fully established, first class company
The president, Thomas f. Helm is gentle
man of character and wealth, the secretary,
NJ. A. VanHOok, is gentleman who under
stands thoroughly the insurance business !;
the directors and stockholders are no specu-
lative adventures, but well known and
highly respectable citizens of the State who
desire to do nothing but legitimate insur-
ance business. We think the managem ent
of the Planters Insurance Company has
been creditable 10 themselves and the State,
and we see no reason why their business
during the present year should not be dOub-
led. 1t is the only Home Company We
have in the State and should be sustained

HUSBAND GooD-BYEs. hus-
bands never leave home in the morning
without kissing their wives and biding
them ''Good bye, and dear" in the tones
of unwearied love; and whether it be
policy or fact, it has all the effect of fact,
and those homes are generally pleasant
ones, provided always that the wives are
appreciative and welcome the discipline
in a kindly spirit. We know an old
gentleman who lived with his wife over
fifty years; and never left home without
the kiss and sc good-by, dear.
Some husbands shake hands with their
wives and hurry off as fast as possible,
as though the effort were something that
they were anxious to forget, holding their
heads down and darting around the first
corner. Some husbands will leave home
without saying anything at all; but
thinking good deal, as evinced by their
turning round at the last point of Obser-
walton and waving an adieu at the pleasant
face or facs at the window. Some hus-
bands never say word-rising from the
breakfast table with the lofty Indifference
of lord, and going out with heartless
disregard of those left behind. 1t. is a
fortunate thing>for their wives that they
can find sympathy elsewhere.
Some husbands never leave home with
out some unkind word or look, apparently
thinking that such a course will keep
things straight in their absence. Then,
on returning, some husbands come home
pleasant and happy, unsecured by the
world some sulky and surly with disap-
pointments. Some husbands bring home
a newspaper or book, and bury themselves
for the evening in Its contents. Some
husbands are called away every eavneing
on business os social engagements; some
doze IN speeches stupidity until bedtime.
Some husbands are curious to learn from
their wives what TRANSFERRED through the
day; others are attracted by nothing short
of childs tumbhng down stairs or the
house taking fire.

Our last reunion in Vicksburg was most
