Slaughtering Hogs.

An experiment in killing a fero-
cious hog some years ago, led us to
consider the modes adapted for
taking the life Of the poor beasts in
preparation for dressing them. The
animal was purchased from drove,
was one of the long-lcgged and
long shouted kind, probably born
in the woods, and as long as kept
in the drove, was, in some degree,
manageable; but when separated,
about as ferocious as tiger.
No amount Of good feeding and
coaxing seemed to modify his wild
nature, for he was always ready to
dash at any person who was indis-
Greet enough to enter his domain.
BY dint of corn meal, boiled
sweet apples, and sundry gather
ings from the kitchen, the beast
grew up so as to weigh about 800
pounds. Owing him spite for his
bad behavior, and believing eds
erection a better part than valor,"
we concluded not tc enter his domi-
Gil knife in hand, but to allure him
by some dainty morsels up to his
trough and then plant pistol ball
between the ears and see what the
effect would be. 1t was excellent.
All his former rashness in a moment
was gone. He lay before us in
stantly Gas dead as mallet."
There was no racing and frighten-
ing, no squealing, nor deadly thrust
Of the knife into the poor beasts
throat. There was evidently no
pain felt, as no limb moved or
muscle quivered.
Now has come the hog-butcher-
ing season, and the country round
will resound with the screams of
dying hogs, making the women
faint, and the children in the family
with their fingers in their ears, run
into the cellar, or into the depths of
some closet to get away from
sounds which they will never forget
though they live to be old people.
1t is an age Of liberality; let it,
also, be an age of humanity. If it
be crime to starve or overpower
a poor horse, let it also be crime
to put creature to needless pain,
which we have sheltered and fed
and constantly cared for during a
twelvemonth.
We have given several old horses
their quietus with gun, and so
sudden and completely were all
the powers paralyzed, that there
was not the slightest evidence that
pain was experienced. They fell
slowly forward, without noise or
struggle. So it was with the hog.
Will not the reader, then, see to
it that no animal of his shall be
hunted down, caught and bound,
and then die under the torture of
the knife, this year.
A pistol will be found most con-
venient, but if 8 gun is used it
should be with a small charge Of
powder, and plug Of hard wood
three-fourths of an inch long and
half as thick through will answer
as well rs ball. In taking this
course the head is not distigured so
as to be noticeable, and in every re-
spect it is preferable to the old in
human mode of killing hog.
Will the "Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals" notice
this and "govern themselves ac-
cordingly?'-Nep England Earm-
err.

rERPRIsE.-Mrs. Ellen S. upper,
the most noted of the bec-growcrs
Of this country, and generally ac-
knowledgcd to be the best authori-
ty on the subject in America, has
associated herself with Mrs. James
G. Slavery, Of this city, to engage in
the business on larger scale, per-
haps, than it is now conducted by
any firm in the West. They will
put in a capital of ten thousand dol
lars, and intend to make it work
which will not only result in profit
TO them but also to the common
good. There "bcefar,n"-if we
may call it such-will be on the
beautiful and available grounds OF
the Slavery homestead i'll the west
ern limits Of the city. We hope in
few days to give more extended
and satisfactory details in regard
to their operations. The enterprise
of these two ladies will attract at
ention and interest. We predict
hat they will meet with success OF
he most gratifying and substantial
character. -Ues MINES Register.

UTILIZATION OF SURPLUS POTA-
roEs.-In cases where the potato
crop is so large as not to be readily
marketable, and more or less in
danger Of decaying through the
winter, the surplus can be so treat
ed AS to furnish a valuable article
of food, capable Of preservation tor
long time. For this purpose the
potatoes are to be washed clean,
steamed, and peeled while hot, and
finally pressed through fine sieve.
The potatoes thus compressed are
then to he laid, while still hot, upon
gratings and dried rs quickly as
possible, say in ten or twelve hours,
in order to avoid any souring or
putrcfaction; this being generally
the result Of drying too slowly, or
with an insufficient heat. The po-
tatoes dried in this way are OF an
excellent flavor, and can be packed
and kept for years in dry place,
and are scrviceable for provisioning
ships, armies in the field, etc
About 1000 pounds of fresh pota-
toes will make 100 pounds Of the
dry article, which, when properly
prepared, will have precisely the
flavor and appearance OF freshly
boiled potatoes.

A writer in the Country Gentle
man tells how he makes cheap
ice house so that ice may be kept
with very little expense. He says:
Throw down dozen or two old
rails or poles on piece Of ground
sufficiently inclined to carry Oft
water, fill the crcvices between the
poles with sawdust, cover with old
boards, slabs or bark-get from the
saw mill few loads of slabs, take
four, say twelve feet long, notch the
corners like a log house, set them
on the platform and you have about
ten and half feet square by the
width of the slab deep; fill this crib
with sawdust and pack it down
hard. Cut your ice so that it will
pack close and eight feet square;
lay it on the sawdust, put on anoth-
err crib of slabs and fill up and pack
hard with sawdust all around, and
so OIL until you get up six or eight
feet; then put foot and half OF
sawdust OH top; over this put a
shed roof Of slabs-onc end OF the
slabs nearly to the ice, raising the
other three feet. If ice is all that
is wanted it will keep in this man
ner as well as in vanished house.
Let farmer once get i'll the habit
Of keeping ice and he will soon
lind Il way to make something better
than a crib to keep it in-and !
think this cheap plan will be apt to
get him stan ted.
