4 Poisonous Plant.
black.

A few years ago there was in the
Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, q
specimen of probably the most poi
sonous plant ever introduced into
England. 1t was the Jatropha urens,
the properties of which are so noxious
that its possession is positively danger
Gus. The ex curator CT the gardens
was one day reaching over it, when its
fine, bristly stings touched his wrist
The first sensation which he felt was u
numbness and swelling of the lips; the
action of the poison was on the heart,
circulation was stopped and he soon
fell, unconscious; the last thing h.
remembered being cries of, 'Run for
the DOCTOR" Either the doctor wss
skillful, or the dose of poison injected
not quite, though nearly, enough to
cause death; but afterwards the young
gardener, in whose house the plan
was placed, got it thrust into a corner,
and would not come within arm
length of it. He watered the offendef
with pot having an extremely lonG
spout. In short time, however, The
plant disappeared altogether, an
another specimen of the genu
Jatropha, which was afterwards intro
duced, vanished in the like mysteriou
manner. 1t was presumed that the
attendants were secretly determined
that such plants should not be retainei
in the houses, to cause the possibility
of an accident such as that which
happened to their curator.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1875-03-18
BEST BREED OF HOGS.

In answer to an inquiry which is the
best breed of hogs, an Ohio breeder
gives the following reasons for
naming the Poland China as such q
breed:
1. They do not get NANCY. I have
never had one that was troubled thi~
way and this is something of so muc!
importance that it should not be over
looked by any farmer who knows any
thing Of the evil.
g. This breed is excellent on az
count of its early fattening qualitts ;
and yet for its continued growth it h /
no equal. When only nine or t."
months old it will readily fatten in ,
clear pork, weighing 800 pounds t.
more. Or they will continue to gro
until twenty months old, and the
weighed, when fattened, from $50 to 81
pounds.
3. tits the best feeder on Glove
and blue grass I know Of 1 ha,
witnessed test experiments which werl
to show that hogs of this breed wi
make more gain and thrive better O..
grass alone than those Of any othc
breed.
4. They are naturally quiet at al
times, unless contrary spirit is stirre
up by abuse. They fatten Well, eatin
their ill and then lying down. Til.
sows are good and prolific breeders,
kind in litter and good suckers.
5, I claim that the Poland China i.
the hog for the packer, because of the
proportion of weight behind the
shoulders and the amount of high.
priced meat it carries, and a cores.
pondingly small amount of offal pro
duced. 1t has small head aud small
feet.
6. It is the breed that we can do
the most with between April and Jan
uary. claim that pigs should come
when grass in the spring begins to
grow, so that they can be fattened
without having to winter them Or,
if we deem it good policy to hold
them over, we want them to keep on
growing during the second summer
with the least cost
| believe the Poland China is the
hog FOR the farmer. 1t is small -boned
and long~bodied 1t has short legs
and broad, straight back it has deep
sides, with square heavy hams and
shoulders it has dropping ears and
fine hair, in color nearly always spotted
black.

The Republican press, like the 10
gans in Congress, is successfully accu-
mulating upon the Republican party
the deeper dishonor of responsibility
for the Louisiana usurpation. The
Philadelphia enquirer" Republican,
truly says: eve have one word to say
to those Republican journals through
out the country, who are determined to
support this Louisiana wrong through
thick and thin. 1t is this Just so far
as any reputable Republican paper de,
tends or countenances this outrage, it
makes the Republican party responsible
for it, and just so far as the party is
made responsible for it just so far is it
weakened in the estimation every cit
