us what, is the best drink foF hogs while
fattening, swill or water? Pure water is
essential to the thrift of an animal in any
condition, and largely so to,ene feeding on
rich and concentrated food. What farm
crs ordinarily term swill y contains a
good deal of water, but shopld prefer to
give the water by itself, and keep it
out of the other food except what is desir-
able to give it consistency. Sour milk or
whey is good for fattening hogs to a GER
tain extent, but ought not to take the place
of water as sole drink.

Lost Cow.

An old lady, living on Birthstone Creek,
Scott county, lost COW about the time of the
memorable Birthstone campaign" in which
one of our high State officials participated in
1862 She describes her as white and brindle
spotted, one horn of, a large knot on her side,
caused by broken rib, and very small, weigh
ing about two hundred and fifty pounds gross
She had on q small brass bell when she left
home, but as that kind of metal was in demand
then for making cannon, she hardly expects to
recover her bell. The COW was twenty-three
years old when she was taken about nine years
ago, so if any one knows of such a COW as we
have described, and she has thirty-two wrinkles
on her horns, she belongs to this old lady,
who will thankfully receive any information on
the subject. She has heard that such q COW has
been residing in Monroe county for some
time. We advised her to address Speaker
Vaughn latter on the subject, and she said
shed do it."
by the way she added, ''if any one wants
to know about them broke ribs. tell en- that my
old man did it with hoop-pole bekase she
wouldn't stand for milkin, and | never was so
sorry in my born days" We told her to write
to Mr.. Vaughn. and she said she would.

Little Feet.


In castle halls, or cottage homes,
Wherever guileless childhood roams,
o, there is nothing half so sweet
AS busy tread of little feet.
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purling rill, the organs power,
All stir the soul, but ncne so deep
AS tiny tread of little feet.
When we go forth at early morn
To meet the world and brave its scorn,
Adown the garden walk so neat
We see the prints of little feet.
At eve, when homeward we repair,
With aching limbs and brow of care,
The voices ring out clear and sweet,
Then comes the rush of little feet.
The knives are lost, the dishes stray,
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek
We take the trail of little feet.
But when the angel death has come
And called the flow refs from our home,
Oppressive silence reigns complete:
We miss the sound of little feet.
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors go slamming all the day;
But o, 'twould give us pleasure sweet
To hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night hath come; all are asleep,
Y es, all but mel vigil keep;
Hush, hush, my heart, and cease to beat,
Was that the step of little feet?

COL. WIN. GILLIAN, PREs'T & CHEMIST
These fertilizers are made of the best materi-
ais, after the formula and under the personal
supervision of Col. Gilham for many wears Pro-
fessor of Chemistry and Agriculture in the Vir-
gina Military Institute. The high standard IS,
therefore, absolutely guaranteed His work has
been tested in all quarters of this State and
North Carolina, where concentrated manures
are used, during the past five years. and not
withstanding bad seasons, it has received the I'M
qualified approval of our people. Where the
land is deficient generally in the elements neces-
ssary TO produce wheat, the Tobacco Fertilizer
has acted admirably. Where it is in good enough
heart to bring straw, the ''Old Dominion will
make the wheat.
The following letters are appended
