The Beat Hogu for the sou,b.

- We have recently received letters
f;om many valued friends inauiring
-. what is the best hog for the south PS
One of the good effects of having
raised an abundant crop of corn is the
generally diffused desire to- raise our
own meat, and Us that good work must
now be commenced from the foundation
the enquiry as to the best and most bro.
htable breed is natural.
we unhesitatingly answer that the
5erkshlre, or cross of the Berkshire
aug Essex is ipcomparably the best hog
f'r oqr country and dtclin1ate.s We are
intimately acquainted with persons ia
tennessee, and other states, who have
raised the Berkshires for several years
and have brought them to q perfection,
such as we have never seen attained by
any other breed. Give them O good
range, and access to plenty of water.
and they will <increaseY multiply and
reeplenish the earth. At fifteen montba
old, with ordinary care and sufficient
food, they will weigh from $50 to 400
1 pounds, and, owing to their small bono,
there 1s less difference in weight between
berkshire alive and, ono slaughtered
IMAM any other hogs we have over
--.snoWn. Where crossed by the Essex
tle hog has moro size, and is, perhaps
mloIeind q d dpetrious i'm" rooting'' for him
seH but in oug experience, the mere
g,eIksliNIIe is not deficient in this lat
OF all hogs, we consider the Chester
the worst for the country. IF it lis not
as carefully fed and gEoomed as$a q fSoe
horse, it becomes NANCY, fails to put on
hesh, and produces nothing but bone
and ears. A few years ago there was q
rage1for White !Chesters, People sent
to Chester county, Pa, and paid as
high as $50 to $50 for pair of pigs,
which, on arrival, they were found to
be large.eared, big-boned, thriftless an.
Nlmals, which, needed as much attention
as lady's lap dog. In favorable eli.
mate, with unremitting attention and
hand-feeding, the Chester will attain AN
immense size in three years. BntS Who

A Method OF Reducing Bones.

III Mr. Porter Warren, of New Hamp-
shire, gives the following easy and cheap
formula for reducing bones:
Il the farmer, will set, aside cask, in
some convenient place, for the reception
of bones, and throw all that are found
on the farm into it, he will be likely to
find collection at the end of the year
that would prove valuable adjunct to
his manure heap. Place them in a
large Ekettle mixed with ashes, and
Pboutgope pecko Of lime to thesbarral of
bones. Cover with water. and boil, In
twenty-four hours all the bones. with
the .sSceptions sperhapy, of ntle hard
shin: bones, will become 60 much soft
ened as to be easily pulyerized by hand.
They will not be III PARTICLES Of bone,
but in pasty condition, and in excel.
-ilent form ito mix with muck, loan or
ashes. By boiling the shin-bones ten
or twelve hours longer they will also
become soft. ,.,.,/ ,Xf&

quent of late. The last case reported Is the
hanging Of a man at Martinsburg, West Viz
ginia, already under sentence OF death for at
tempted rape and murder. The unfortunate
man solemnly and earnestly protested his inno-
cence TO the last. The question naturally arises
might not this man have been wholly innocent,
Notwithstanding strong circumstantIaI evidences
In the case? If so, then are his self-appointed
sxecutioners indeed guilty of a fearful crime
But, whether guilty or innocent, the law should
have been allowed TO take its course. In this
particular case it is said the community approve
of the course Of the lynchers. The latter are
therefore secure from all punishment for setting
the law at defiance. The only way to break up
the barbarous practice is to create q popular
sentiment against II. So long az communities
in which such outrsges occur enter no protest
against them, so long will they disgrace our
civilization.

If New England desires to retain her fisheries,
even in their present decline in value as CON-
pared with former years, some measure looking
to their preservation must be taken. The invest
igatiOns Of Prof. Baird, conducted under gov
eminent auspices, demonstrate the fact that
those On the coast are declining in value yearly
and show the great Importance of restoring
them If possible to their former productive con-
Clifton. Professor Baird recommends the adop-
ton by Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connect
cut and New York, OF u bill which he has draft
ed giving the commissioners Of each state au-
thoTity 10 license the pounds. This provision,
he regards, as one of great Importance, giving
the state more efficient control over the pounds,
and il viii TO doubt be acceptable to the owners
OF these establishments, as il would give them
security against Interference from other parties
that they do not at present possess. The penalty
attached 10 fishing without a license, and the
ability Of q state the more readily to punish an
offender by depriving him of his permission to
fsh, will render parties careful how they offend.
Should the states neglect to pass such an act,
then the Professor would recommend that Con-
gress pass a law absolutely prohibiting until
further notice the erection of fixed apparatus
for taking fish, after a period of one or two
years, on the south side of New England and on
the shores of Long Island, which constitute the
spawning grounds of the shore fishes referred
10.

The contract for supplying the Post Office
departm ent with stamped envelopes and news
paper wrappers for the next four years, propo-
sails for which were opened Yesterday, Is one of
the most important, so far as the public is con-
cerned, that the government enters into, and
unless properly prepared will be source Of
great Inconvenience. Four years ago this con-
tract WAS awarded to q firm in this city, and on
account OF their alleged failure to comply with
its terms it was annuIled by the department,
whose action was severely criticised at the time,
but 1t was sustained after q rigid Congress
ional Investigation. This time it appears that
the lowest bidders are the present contractors
for furnishing the postal cards, to the poor
quality of which reference has been made. If
the stamped envelope contract is awarded to
them, and is carried out in no better manner
than the postal card contract seems to be, the
Post Office department and the public will be
the losers.
