CARE OF HOGS.

A prsctical breeder gives the following
advice, which, in the main, we think
sound for those whose herds are not TOO
large, and who are engaged ia mixed hus-
bandry: "To handle hogs TO the best ad-
vantage, pasture is needed of green grass
es-clOver, blue glass, and timothy-and it
is best if there is no running water or
stock ponds in the lot Hogs do better
where there are no stock ponds or branch
es to wallow in. In place thereof, have
good well water pumped for them. Have
troughs made, and nail strips across eight
inches apart to keep the hogs from lying
down in the water, and let these hogs be
put on floors to keep them from digging up
wallowiDg holes. If any feed be given, it
should be soaked in swill barrels for twelve
hours before feeding-no longer-and fed
them as drink

cites growth, b1t it does not mature it.
3. Luxmisnt growth does not slways in

4. Dig deep, but plant shallow.
5. Young vines produce beautiful fruit,
but old vines produce the richest.
6. Prune in autumn 10 insure growth,
but in the spring TO promote fcuitfulness.
7. Plant your vines before you put up
trellises.
s. Vines, like old soldiers, should have
good arms.
9. Prune spurs TO one well developed
bud; for the nearer the Old wood the higher
favored the fruit.
10. Those vino pruue long mus soon

IL. Vine leaves love the sun, fruit the
shade.
II. Every leaf has bud at its base, and

OyERGROWN FeGs.

There is not one single advantage to be
claimed 10 favor of big hogs. There never
was monster hog which did not make the
man who raised him pay for every pound
he weighed. They d not furnish an ounce
of meat gratis, but charge full price for
every atom of their carcass. When slaugh
tered, it takes long time to get one cool TO
the marrow in the bone, and then when the
hams are put in salt, it is troublesome to
finish them to the centre. -Four hundred
live weight is as large as hogs should be in
order to make good bacon. Beyond this
size there is a loss somewhere. Either the
feeder, butcher or consumer is cheated, and
as a general thing, every one who has any
thing to do with the big hog will hnd, if he
observes closely, that they are not so profit
able as the smooth, nice hog of only $50
pounds weight. A small head, with little,
upright ears, and legs aud ears delicate to
perfection, are marks which indicate the
greatest amount Of food consumed; and it
will always draw more readily the attention
Of every butcner.-HdrJOrd Times.

AN ACTOs WHO ENOCH ARDENS
BETTER THAN ADAMS.
From the New Orleans Times, 2Sth.

From the New orleans luSst Zolu
Twenty years ago there was known to
the American stage a Dir. X, an actor
ofconsiderabla local celebrity in New York
and Boston, aud many there are yet in
those cities who recollacJ him as az artist of
more than average ability. In the heyday
OF his years and fame he married baauEi-
full actress, but their marriage happiness
was short-liged, for falling to find in each
others cOmpanionship the fulhIlme1t of
hopes brightest visions, they parted, he re-
manning in the old field of bis labOrs, while
she wandered through the land, gaining
much success as an exponent OF the
"horse" drama, but through all those years
they never met nor knew the one that the
| other still lived, except as the knowledge
was borne By the worlds current history.
Five years ago the lady appeared at the st.
Charles thestar, in this city, as ''Mazeppa,
under the name of --, when one night,
while making the "run" dashed to her
steed, she met with a severe accident, re-
sulting in her immediate withdrawal from
the stage, from which time she faded out OF
existence; nothing was known or heard OF
her, and her husband, in common with
many, thought her dead. Meanwhile the
fortune Of X, varying as ever are the
fortunes Of actors, mad led him, now grown
old, TO join Mr.. Aiken's company, finally
bringing up in New Orleans, Monday last,
on which day, sOoa after his arrival, he
started out for a walk. Wandering through
the streets CT the third district, he came
upon the figure Of a woman standing in the
doorway OF cigar store.
Upon her features he gaZed as upon one
| who awakened reco!lectiOns OF other days.
He looked again, and, as if by magic, he
| recognized the wife of his early years,
| Win the revelation there rushed through
! his mind host Of memories, and il an in
slant he had tainted away dead Oh the
bauquette. He was conveyed to his hotel,
aud upon his recovery immediately insti
tuted inquiries, v hich revealed to him thai
| after her accident she married, and wa:
then living with her second husband.
OF course she knew of his presence here
| but he has made TO Der no sign, and both SO
strangely met, will journey on apart, t.
meet again-neveT, perhaps, this side o

RAT.PRO8F CORN CRIB.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette gives the following directions for max
ing rst-proof corn crib: Let the four cor
ner posts be eight inches square; frame the
sills which are to support the floor of the
corn crib into the posts, at distance Of
two feet from the lower end. Before put
ting the frame together, taper the lower
ends Of The posts for The distance Of two
feet, so that at the very base the post shall
be only four inches square. Now, when
the frame is Set up, let these posts also
stand or tapered rocks. If the crib needs
more than these four posts to bear up the
corn that ill be put into it, make legs ike
the lower portions of these posts, and set
these legs under the sills, and put boards
on the floor, making the latter tight and
which win be about three feet from the
ground. Have the door made tight, and
keep it shut, aud no rats viii get into your

among all the readers Of this paper, who are
ready and willing to take the first stepP If
there be any such, the Agricultural Editor
will be glad to hear from them. By acting
together few earnest men may now do
great good in behalf of Southern agricul-
ture. 25O,O0O,0O0 pounds of factory made
cheese puts $2,500,OOO extra into farmers
pockets, above what homemade cheese
sells for, and at the same time the cost Of
manufacture is lessened.
By producing frst-rste article Of uni

THE CATHOLIC IDEA OF NAB,
REAGE

On the inviol4ble fielity of the marriage
tie, binding the husband and the wife in
not only the strongest bonds of human
love, but in the strongest sacramental bond
of union, depends the procreatiOn of child
rem so that the State may have citizens,
and the education Of the children so that
the State may have worthy citizens. A
multitude Of people are no blessing unless
they be educated 50 as to bring out in them
their intellectual and moral qualities. The
mother must be secure IN her own house,
she must sit upon her own throne, and DO
hand must be raised TO take her down. If
she is rot secure with the security of the
sacrament, with the security almost of God
himself, the very fountain Of matriui Onial
love is poisoned, the very source of dOmes-
t &c happiness is embittered. How can a
woman love a man with her whole soul if
she knows it is in his power to drive
her from him at his will? The day
when modern society admitted the
| law of divorce, modern society did
! what Sampson did when he was placed be-
| tween the two p.i aYs and pulled the tempt e
down upon himself and the multitude
with q crash like the thunder of God. so
| modern society has shaken the pillars of
the world, and If there were not the Cath
olic ChGrGh there to uphold the old edifice,
the concern would come tumblin5 about
your own ears, y0u would be reduced by
your own act to the very first forms of bar
barism and savagery. Now, do you imagine
that the wnmanhoOd of America, TO say
nothing of the manhood of America), a
womanhOod so intellectual, so well educa-
tel, and so anxious, let me say, for their
rights, will allow the divorce business to
continue? No; woman must be the
queen in her own house, the crowned head.
and no hand save the hand Of death must
be allowed to pluck the crown from her,
and her husband must do her the homage
be swore to do. And as the Catholic
Church alone assures the womanhood of
America this privilege and interchangeable
position, if there was nothing else TO make
America Catholic the ladies would do il on
that one thing. They would do it in self
defense.-Fdtber Tom Burke

from that change. Whatever authority of
law there may be, or assumed authority
for the increase Of legal tenders to
$4OO, 100000, there certainly is none
which authorizes the Secretary to use
this power secretly TO the immense
benefit of a few and to the injury and pos
sible ruin of the many. A tidal wave' of
paper money to be paid for by injury to
our credit abroad in depression of the
price of ali American securities in other
countries, and by the enhancement Of the
price of everything in our own, is bad
enough at best, but, to permit it to come
upon US unannounced and unexpected, is a
wrong that amounts to absolute cruelty.
This feature of the case, in the new issue
OF legal tenders, is utterly indefensible and
even alarming, and it is fortunate that we
are SO near the re-openipg Of Congress,
when, we have no doubt the SUBJECT will
command immediate attention"

= MEXICAN CHEEsE FACTORIES.

0EfEkCAN Oh EESE EACGOHEES.
The success that has followed the raising
O. rrass, and converting into cheese, on the
co operative principle, presents facts which
ev.ry business man ought 10 study. Be-
f.-g the factory system was adopted, Amer
c. farmers were able TO export only mil
lion pounds Of cheese a year. Now, cheese
f2e.oriss alone produce two hundred and
If y million pounds, Of which sixty millions
a.e exported. These facts show all farmers
AID otaer business men what a small in.
prryement in agriculture can do for the
benefit IF all consumers everywhere, and
for American trade aud commerce. 1t is
thre5 lines more profitable to transform
Cur cess into cheese than into beef.
Ate he calfis born it takes two or three
years before his carcass is ready for market,
vi j good grazing. The same grass con-
suue4 5y a dairy COW would have yielded
about one thousand pounds Of cheese in
two years. In Tennessee, this cheese
wJaid bring as much as fo1r good steers.
Il farming, time Is money. The grass
that Grows one day is converted into milk
the next day, and while warm FROM the
uddas, s coagulated into cheese cu-ds, and
soon ready to at and for sale.

Estimated by its organized blood form
IN co.'s .ituents, grass thu rapidly chang
CO into milk aud cheese, is the most econo-
mic. food that the two hundred million
la5ogin; people in Europe can consume.
IL this concentrated form, our Tennessee
grass IS worth from ten to fifteen cents
pound for human food the world over.
Southern farmers have yet to learn the art
Of supplying mankind with cheap and first

for THEN families and their country. In the
nei-hb3.hood where the writer practiced
medicine forty-six years ago the milk of
tweuty-two hundred COWS is made into
cheese in a factory.
Every acre oflSnd has increased in value
