Eatiening Hogs.

y correspondent of the Germantown
TeiegrdDh has the following To say in re-
ference To the best method of fattening
hogs: ..rf, .f.H-.l..g ........
al must now hasten to give some Of my
own experience with the hogs. | used 10
keep them in my younger days to furnish
meat for my family and to sell to get u lit
tie spare cash. The kind with small
bones, small ears aud short noses, that
good keeping, at year old, would make
325 pounds of pork, was my fayorite.
(rhe first one l ever fattened weighed 2G0
pounds at eight months old Milk and
potatoes are the best food for young pigs,
after weaving, to make them thrive; they
also relish a few grains of corn at this time
as well as squirrel does a few nuts, as
they grow along. In the season for it they
should he supplied daily with fresh green
weeds or young clover; "a few green corn
stalks are also good to feed them in their
season, and the slops and refuse of the
kitchen with little meal are also good.
With this food they should be fed liberal
ly, but not to surfeiting, and kept growing
right along in a thrifty condition till about
two months before killing time, during
which they should be fed literally with
more concentrated and fatteDing food.
Boiled pumpkins, thickened while hot
with corn meal, are excellent food for
them, so also are boiled sweet apples thick
ened with meal, and so is scalded meal
alone; and some think for some days pre-
vious to Strengthening time they should be
fed with dry corn and pure cold water,
that it makes thoir meat harder and sweet
er. d.
Reared and fattened as above directed,
their meat will be sweet and wholesome for
food for those that labor in outdoor occu-
pations, especially in the colder part of the
year, and will do, for those that love it, to
cook with beans green peas and yeReta-
bles in the summer season, though i should
myself much prefer as a substitute piece
of ripe, stall-fed beef, that was sweet and
nicely kept in pickle made of salt and
brown sugar, with just nip of saltpetre to
make the meat tendeT.n

4 Poem by a tennessee Senator.

The October number of the Ocoee Regis
ter contains a short narrative and descrip-
tive poem from the pen of Senator j. c.
Morgan, of Cleveland, Tenn. 1t relates to
the antiquities of the Cherokee Indians,
where what is now East Tennessee and
North Georgia was their free and unmo-
Tested home. The incident on which it
rests is the kidnapping of beautiful
and noble Cherokee princess by band of
Seminoles under the leadership of one
Osceola, and her subsequent touching and
affecting self-destructon to free herself
from the captivity into which her lover
had forced her. Indeed, the conception is
very striking and beautiful, and it is set
forth in the true spirit of poetry. 1t ex-
hibits originality in expression, sentiment
and music, and upon the whole is a poem
of no ordinary merit. Senator Morgan
has struck rich vein and worked it with
a strong ARM Union and american.

FROM SHREVEPORT.
New York Letter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3,

New YORK, Oct 3, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The financial
phase is truly singular. Its like has never
before occurred. The opening of the Stock
Exchange found the brokers in the condi-
ton of the German, who with the Irish
man, was out hunting birds. Seeing a
bird enter a hole in a dead tree, the Ger
man said, "Now gifts him nit the hole, ~
and up the tree he went but at a lower
hole black snake poked its head out at
him, and, of course, all holds gave away
and down he fell. The Irishman eX-
claimed, "And, Hans, are We ded en-
tirely?n mo / ish not but you goes up
NIT that hole, unit you sees one tam scarf
SNAKE"
Wall street brokers were at least thus
badly scared. The organization, however,
of certified checks, for which the ASSOCIATE
ed banks were and are responsible, enabled
the business of sales to proceed, but with
great caution. Aside from this basis of
action no one dared TO go, for in doing so
he would have lifted a stick to break his
own head.
Thus far the prices of usual securities
have varied but little from former average
figures; but what is to be the end? Gold
has fallen back as low and little lower
than the "tickn marked il before the panic
down 10 l04 and l0s. And here comes
the strangest feature of all A gentleman
last evening who has lust reached here
from abroad, Informed me that he went to
Wall street to sell some gold, desiring cur
rency for immediate use.I The price offered
him was 100 in certified checks. He took
the checks-of course they were good, for
all the banks were bound for them-but
found he could not get greenbacks with
them except by paying 3 per cent. pre-
MUM. 1t then follows that gold is Just
now only lOS4. This looks exactly in the
direction indicated in my communication
of the 9Th ult. The slide Is manifestly TO-
ward specie basis, Very soon, large shi D.
unents oil specie Will commence arriving
here from Europe and, unless, i'm some
way, the usual greenback currency is in
creased in volume, the price OF gold must
continue 10 sink or, if you so prefer T.
CT ii il, the price Of currency will still go uD.
II is certainly dlffieulC to see how decline
in &c neral stock can be avoided. SO long
as certified checks pass as currency, the
event will be po,tponed; but such is only d
temp rary stitch taken on tile severed ar.
tery To get well, il must be, first lei
loose to bleed awhile, ard when the bleed
ing proce ss commences a few of the stool
brokers VIII catch IT'S, unless the deyi
takes the m out Of the way beforehand.
The act ion Of the Govern thus far
has certainly been wise and prudential
