Swine.

When the farmer has so little consider
alton for his real interests as to provide
such accommodations for his swine
while transforming his corn into pork,
he has no business to anticipate sue
cessful results. ) Any animal, to fatten
readily, should be maintained under
conditions .favora BILE to its comfort and
quiet. If confined to a muddy inclo-
sure, where the discomfort of one situ-
alton keeps it perpetually on the tramp
in search of one more favorable, or
where it is obliged to turn over tons
pf,earth every day in search OF food, it
will not fatten kindly. Every one
understands the mpossibility of fat
tening an OK while severe labor is en-
forced, and should likewise understand
that hog, when compelled to labor
from morning until night, cannot be
any more successfully fattened. Where
good, comfortable, dry quarters are
provided, which protect the animal
from the inelemency of the weather,
which conduce to its quiet and repose,
which prevent the possibility of food
being wasted, and remove the necessi-
ty of exerti0n when the animal desires
10 eat, the farmer can expect his feed
ing operations, other things being at
tended with equal Judgment, to result
satisfactorily.-Lare Sock ,Joao7'di.

Snow FLAKES OF WIT.-They have some
snow in Utica, n. Y, as appears by the fol-
lowing "Brevities" from the Herald OF that
village:
They wear snow plows for overshoes
over in the eighth ward
Nearly all the signs on Genesee street
were dug out before night yesterday.
Nearly all of the corner loafers have
climbed to the top Of the snow and resum-

Utica has more snow than Watertown
and Ogdensburg together, it Is better
snow too. There is more of 1t TO the pound.
The man who drove Off the snow into the
street railway track yesterday was not
much hurt, but his sleigh was badly brok-
en- by the fall.
A man on Corn Hill, obliged by the deep
snow to go home by way of the chimney,
got into hot water by getting into the
wrong house.
If you see a dogs tail on the snow, don't
pick ii up. The probability is that there
will be dog under the drft aud he may
object TO your familiarity.
A merchant ON Blandina street, who
worked all yesterday forenoon cleaning his
sidewalk, was disgnsted when he found
that he had only got down to the wooden

A lone widow, residing on Court street,
complains that they have run sleigh road
right over her house, and that the horses
are kicking her lightning rod all to pieces.

face in the doorway.
"Why, bless your heart come right in,

shut the door.
Five minutes afterward, as Miss Phebe

The Republicans who passed these reso-
buttons were Just then sending delegates to
Philadelphia to vote for Grant renomina-
ton. They had Just resolved that slavery
ought to have been abolished; that ne
groes were entitled to political equality (;
that the Ku-Klux ought to be put down !;
and that Republicans alone should hold of
fee. That was when everything was love
" and the Credit Mobilier stock was do
ing the most good when Harlan was en-
joying a seat in the Senate and Durant's
$4,000 in peace and quiet. At that time
Gen. Dodge was not running races on the
plains of Texas and New Mexico, with the
Sergeant at Arms having a subpoena re
curing him to appear and explain how the
Chief Engineer of a railroad company
could better earn his salary and do thu
company more good in Congress than GU
on the road. At that time the Republi
cans Of the Iowa majority in the State
held Changers and complaining agrieultur
lists in contempt. Railroad corporations
have never failed to pay promptly and lib
orally for all the legislation they have ask
ed What legislator had ever received
dollar from farmer for special legislation
The four Changers who were sent to Des
moines had no money to pay out for tn
purpose of purchasing legislation; the
! went there asking the Legislature to d
Justice, without being paid for it, and tn
Republican Legislature thought it grea
joke. They, therefore, in the Senate, pu
! it on record that the representatives of tn
Oranges, having no money TO expend fo
the purchase of legislation, were paupers
having no business at the Capital, an
!, that they be sent 10 their homes at the cos

returning. Ii is possible that the Gran

not be there as petitioners, but as law-ma
