One Way Of Doing 1t.

WE have pressed the Cincinnati En-
quirer, Inter-Ocedn and other initiation
sheets to explain how the Government
would proceed to get more irredeemable
green scrip into circulation so as to benefit
the "poor man." If it buys bonds with
new issues, how will that help" poor men"
who have no bonds for sale? Poor men
can get all the greenbacks they want now
if they have anything to give in exchange
for them. But the Enquirer is equal to the
task. 1t replies: Let the Government
stop taxation for few years, repeal the
whisky-tax for instance, and supply the
deficiency by "more greenbacks" until
they become "cheap and abundant" OF
course this would be adding just so much
TO the national debt, to say nothing of
knocking down the value of the whole
currency to ten or twenty cents on the dol
lar, perhaps, when gold would be quoted
at 500 or TOO. The next step would be re-
pudiation of the greenbacks as worthless,
and in that way they would be paid"
Then the State banks would be revived to
fill the vacuum, and we should have again
thirty-seven different kinds of wild cat and
blue-pup currency, and every man would
carry in his pocket ThOmpson's Bank

Yard for Pigs.

lBELIEvE that one great reason why pigs
do not prove more profitable on a great
many farms is because they do not have
enough clean yard-roOm in which to run
and forage. Too often they are confined
to a small pen and very small yard, both
of which are dirty. They have not even
clean grass plot, or grass or other green
food to eat, but must constantly stay in q
close yard or pen. For large hogs this re-
strictiOn is injurious, but for little pigs ii
is very much worse. Young animals want
liberty TO exercise their muscles and clean
grass on which to feed. A few farmers
let their pigs run out at will, but they are
apt to do great deal of mischief.
One of my neighbors, who raises a
great many pigs, used to let them run into
my garden, corn and potatoes, tread down
my grass, and they did a great deal of
damage to my crops; but he always had
nice pigs, and there was no evident reason
except that he allowed them full liberty
out of doors. Now, do not approve of
having drove of pigs running through
gardens and crops, but | think it would
pay even small farmers TO fence in an
eighth or fourth of an acre of land ad.
joining their hog yard, and let their pigs
run part of the time every day in this
inclosure. When they get large enough
to root turf land they can be shut into
their ordinary yard, or else have the ten
dons of their noses cut or rings put in to
keep them from doing mischief. But
whether ii is used for large hogs or not il
will certainly pay farmers who raise many
pigs 10 furnish them such yard.-OOr.

danger TO health from vegetable putres-

Of green scum, which is nearly as poison.

water as the discharge into 1t of the leak
age from water-closet would be. All of
