PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY

The Concert and distribution will take place
under the immediate supervision of the Trustees
named in the act of incorporation
The Trustees will be assisted by well known
and eminent citizens of Kentucky, who have
consented to be present at the concert and to
superintend the drawing and distribution of
gifts.
The holders of tickets to which gifts are
awarded will be paid on presentation of them
or their fraction, at the Office in Louisville, the
second day after drawing and every business
day for six months thereafter, and may be sent
direct or through any Bank or Express Com
pany for collection. All orders accompanied
by Drafts, Post Office Money Orders, or Green
backs, will be promptly attended to and tick
cts returned by mail, registered or expressed,
| as desired.
Tickets are like grecnbacks-good only to
the holder.
Buyers will note there are only One Hun
bred Thousand Tickets, instead of Two Hun
bred Thousand, as in the San Francisco Gift
Concert, and that there is $4,000 more
distributed. l sold that and made the awards
in four months and paid Sass. 900 to ticket
holders from November End to 18th, 1870, and
turned over $40, 900 to the Secretary due
tickets not presented.
| 1t will be particularly noticed that it lisa mat
| ter Of impossbility for any one to know what
| number draw gifts, as it is not known what the
| gift of any number drawn from the first wheel
| will be, until the sealed box, with the amount
Of the gift plainly printed, is taken from the
second wheel and opened in full view of the
audience, therefore the largest gift may not
come out till towards the last, or in the middle
OF the drawing. The 100000 gift in the San
Francisco Gift Concert, under the management
| of G. r. Peters, was the 2O0th number drawn,
and was awarded and paid to gentleman in
| New Orleans.
BsE~ The numbers and Gifts are drawn by
blind children from to IA years of age.
| The drawing will be extensively published,
and parties ordering tickets will have printed
lists sent them. Parties forming Clubs and
desiring information, will please address this
| office.

By ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR.

See the rivers lowing
Downward t" the sea.
Pouring all their treasure
Bountiful and free;
Yet to help their giving,
Hidden springs arise;
Or. ii reed be, showers
Feed them from the skies.
Watch the princ"ly flowers
Their rich fragrnncelsprcad,
Load the air viii, perfumes,
From their beauty shed;
Yet their lavish Spending
Leaves then, not IN d-arth,
With fresh life replrnishcd
BY their mother earth.
Give thy hearts best treasure
From fair naturt: learn;
Give thy luve-atid ask not,
Wait not IL return;
And the mere thon sprndcst
From thy title store.
With Il double bounty
God will give thee more.

HosPITALITY.-TheCh Christian duty
of hospitality is too much neglected by
Christians. They lose, by inhospitali-
ty, many precious opportunities for do
ing good and of getting good. There
is nothing that endeais the heart OF the
Young and the stranger more than
warm home welcome from those on
whom they have no claim: 1t opens
the heart door wide to receive impress
sions of good, and fills the memory With
Grateful renenakraEses, ~

FatteniEg EGGS.

AS have been feeding and fattening
hogs for more than fifty years, / wish
to give you little of my experience.
Some years ago two of my neighbors
and myself took hogs to feed by the
mound. We took our hogs the same
day and returned them to the owrer
the same day. Ny neishbors said to
me, at the start, they were going to
beat me in making pork, so did about
as well as | could. They had the first
pick from the head, and selected about.
ninety smooth, straight hogs. took
one hundred and sixty.
My neighhors fed their hogs three
times per day, having rye ground. and
made into slop for two OF the meals,
and the third was of corn in the ear
We commenced about the first of Sep
tember. Ny hogs were put into stub
BILE fields well set with wheat, rye and
oat stubble. They cleaned over some
one hundred and fifty acres. l fed
them some wheat in the sheaf once
day. then oats once a day for a couple
of weeks. | then cnt up green corn
} and fed stalks and all for ten days, ut
the end of which time they were turn
. ed into five acre lot, then into nice
, fifteen acre field of timothy and white
clover.
| In this pasture placed five troughs,
in which kept a good supply OF bran,
e salt and wood ashes, mixed together In
t the proportions of say two bushels OF
i. bran. half bushel of ashes and half
@ bnshel of salt. / commenced feeding
= them husking corn in the ear, scatter
II ing it well over the sod, so that all
is could get a chance to eat. gave them
sufficient at time to last them eight or
ne nine days. When they had cleaned 1t
n. up we'll, another similar allowance was
,e given them. Having previously tested
ut the time it takes a lot of hogs, say fifty
ne head, to eat fifty bushels OF corn, l
vi found that one bushel would last, fed
ST in this way, six days, SO l easily got at
nd the allowance needed.
er On the day of delivery my friends
weighed their hogs and found that they
rv had gained about two and one-hai'
er pounds per day in the fifty days they
AS had been feeding them. Mine showed
it'll !, gain of one hundred and eight,
prs pounds per hog SO you see where th'
ad beat 'tcamc in"
;ed Nov for the philosophy. of my piai
,h- of feeding: found by watching th'
ho habits of my hogs that they wonid
it'll when fed my way, get up very earl,
in the morning, and while the dev
lid was on, take feed of grass, retur'
ia past the troughs aud take some OF tn
ike mixture, then go to the corn and max
on out breakfast.
ch- They would then take sleep tt
toward noon, when they would go I
lex the water, take drink, then take an
oat other feed of grass, and then corn agar
my till about five O'Clock; then grass, cor
inc and sleep. Al about ten o'cioc
ing. they would quietly get up and take
lis feed of corn, then sleep until abo'
him three o'clock in the morning, wbt
>. their fifth meal was eaten. This MAJ
nlg- ner of taking feed was regular in got
on weather. Correspondent of Prair
