A Book FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
OF this book Charles Dudley Warner
writes:
ain the bound volume of St. Nicho-
las, with its glory of red and gold, we
have a permanent addition to the liter
ture of the young. Never before has so
much literary and artistic talent co-op-
Grated in the service of children. 1t Is
a continual educator of their taste and
of their honor and courage. / do not
see how it can be made any better, and
If the children don't like il I think it is
time TO tegin to change the kind OF
children in this country"
ST. NICHOLAS FOR 1875.

verv interesting and amusing, both in its

an entertaining bit Of description, with

Raising and Fattenning Hogs.

&c. Brown, of Marshall county, Iowa,
who it is said, raised the heaviest hogs IN
the State in 1874, communicates his
method of raising and fattening hogs to
the Register OF that State. He says:
We breed young sows and have the
pigs come in April, May and June
Would like to contine them to the tirst
two months, but can not always do so.
Each SOW is put in separate pca, on
floor or dry ground, q few days before
farrowing time. When one sow has n
large number and one small number Of
pigs, we equulize them, but always put
older pigs with younger and do 1t rs soon
Ms the SOW has farrowed. The sows are
fed ear corn and kitchen swill with lit
tie bran or ground feed in it. When the
pigs are two or three weeks old, the sows
and pigs are turned together in u lot or
the pasture, if the grass has started sum
cient for feed As soon rs the young
pigs take to feed, we shell and soak corn
for them ard give swill with n much
milk in it rs the farm affords. The corn
or ,will should not be allowed TO sour un-
til the pigs are six weeks or two months
old. The sows are still feed ear corn, and
run to grass or water. We wean the
pigs at three or five months old, by turn
Ing the sows into another pasture, with
the stock hogs, whore they &c. only grass
and water The pigs are fed soaked corn
until new corn Is hard enough to pHll,
which they are fed for while, and then,
generally, they are put after cattle.
In the following spring, Ms soon aS the
timothy starts so the shoatS can get u
mouthiul, they are turned 10 pasture, and
get only grass and water till the new
corn crop is ready to feed, unless dry
weather late in the summer should make
the grass very short, when they arc fed
a little old corn once a day We iced
new corn sparingIy until it is dry. The
latter part of October the hogs are shut
from the pasture and the feed increased
to full feed by the last of November,
which i. continued till February, when
they are ready for market. In the win
ter the fat hogs have good shelter, with
IA dry-dust nest.
MANY feeders make great mistake by
stufiing their poor hogs with green corn,
expecting to iattcn them i'll few weeks.
II is a waste Of corn, rs bushcl will not
make over five pounds ofpork, while later,
when it il dry, it would make double
that amount. Hogs that are intended
for market before December should be
fattcned on old corn, as change from
old to a few weeks feeding OF new corn
will be of little advantage to them.

PUBLIC SCHooL-The school failed to
open yesterday, in accordance with the
announcement. These repeated de-
lays have not been the fault Of either
the trustees or the principal, but of the
workmen, who have repeatedly failed
to complete the building in compliance
with their promises. This time the
trustees have given the contractor
twice the time he has asked for, and
there is no doubt that school will open
next Monday.

CosT OF THE WAR. - Lieutenant
Governor Adams has kindly given us
the figures. representing the total cost
of the White Pine Indian var They
are lot large, showing. that Mr.. Adams
has faithfully and honestly looked
after the best interests Of the State.
The whole bill only foots up Sl3,500,
a mere bagalelle considering the num-
Der of men called out from this place,
White Pine and Phoebe. The accounts
allowed by the Lieutenant Governor
are all Just and will of course be paid.
The amount Is toe Insignificant to Gre
ate opposition in any quarter, and
every fair minded man will concede
that it should he paid. Mr.. Adams
estimates do not include the pay of
the men who, in response to the Gov
ernor's call, dropped their 81 per day
to go To the front. 1t is but al act OF
simple Justice that they be paid for
their time, but that is a matter depend
ing entirely on the liberality OF the
next Legislature. Mr.. Adams has per-
formed his work well in connection
with this business, and is very prop
erly entitled to the thanks of the peo-
pie of the State.

CREAL's SMELLING FURNACE.

Nm ELIlNG
We mentioned in Tuesdays SENTI-
MEL that Henry G. Creal, the patentee
of an improved smelling furnace, had
arrived in town. His visit here is for
tho purpose of introducing his i'm

be operated successfully with the ores
of this district. We have examined
the diagram and heard Mr.. Creal's ex-
PLANTATION of the principle of the work.
ing OF his patent, and are of the opin-
ion that it is worthy of the considera-
ton of our furnace men. The patentee
claims that through the application of
a new principle in the introduction of
heat to the ore to be reduced, and also
the peculiar arrangement of the draft,
a degree of. heat Is attained by which
ordinary milling ores are reduced to a
liqnid state in thirty minutes without
affecting the fire-rock lining of the fur
mace Charcoal is entirely dispensed
with, and Mr.. Creal asserts that after
the furnace Is once heated four cords of
wood will run it for twenty-four hours
and will reduce in that time sixty tons
of ore. BY a combination of chemicals
in one of the combination flues, all the
precious metals which are usually car
ried Off in the smoke are arrested aud
detached before they reach the main
stack. He also claims to have overcome
the poisonous fumes nuisance by an
~oxygenizing process, which

they leave the furnace. At Cbey-
enne City one of Mr.. Creal's fur
naces is in successful operation
which he informs us recently reduced a

from the bullion produced an exce. s
Of III 10 grains of gold was shown
over three fire assays made by as
many different assayers. The cost of
the furnace is from s.. 1000 to $40, 900,

gentleman appears confident that his
patent will i'll every respect confirm
the above statement, and is DESTROYS of

THE ROAD

The road meeting at the Courthouse
last night "a not very numerously
attended. Judge w. III. Davenport
was cilled to the chair, when the COM
mittee appointed at the previous meet
ing to view out the different routes be-
tween Eureka and Belmont reported
substantially as follows: The distance,
actual measurement, by way of the Will
lows was ascertained to be l04H miles;
that this is by far the best route, being
entirely free of mountain ranges, and in
all respects a most excellent road its
entire length, needing but a few trifiing
repairs at two or three POINTS; that the
the people OF Belmont have expressed
a Willingness to pat their end of the
road in good conditions; that Billy
Nichols, OF the Hay Ranch, has agreed
to expend 500 in repairs in his imme-
date vicinity, and that a gentleman
residing near the DEVILS Gate will at
once put the road in thorough repair
in that section. The committee report
ed an outlay of $40 in viewing out the
road. h rep ,rt was received and
the commit W discharged from further
duty. 1t having been shown that GER
tam improvements were necessary on
this end of The route, just outside of
town, a second committee was appoint
ed, consisting of Messrs. Arlington,
Hinckley, Fletcher, Clark, and some
one else, whose name escaped our re-
porter, TOT look out the route along
Small pox ravine and so on in the di
rection of the DEVILS Gate. This COM
tt.itfaa xva FrIIxy n,r .vnroI o., ra;a,
means and construct a road over the
proposed line, If on examination such
Il course was deemed advisable. The
meeting then adjourned. This action
seems To settle the matter of the best
and most practicable route between
Eureka and Belmont. Postmaster
Wilson informs us that Mr.. Cluggage
will stock the route with a daily line of
stages on or bout the Ist of Novem-
Der.
MINERS UNION BALL.-The Miners
Union ball takes place tomorrow
night. 1t is to be given at the hall of
the Union, at Ruby Hill. The ante
rooms of the hall have lately been re-
moved and constructed on the outside
oil the building, thus adding consider
able space To the hall itself, making it
one OF the largest and most colnforta-
BILE in the State. The Union is quite
heavily involved by reason of large
drafts on It's funds of late to meet
charitable purposes. Tue miners are
the mais stay of the district, the dis
bursements of their regular monthly
earnings going far i'm the direction OF
the enhancement of the general pros
perity OF all branches of business and
trade, and it is but right and proper
that their annual ball should be liber-
ally patronized by the business com
munity. In all parts OF the country
the hardy miner is proverbial for put
ting up his money freely on all worthy
objects, and they seldom, as a body,
call on tie rest of the community for
contributions of any kind. In view OF
these noteworthy facts, and further
considering that a grand time may he
anticipated by all who attend, the an
nual ball Friday night, should and
doubtless will be a most gratifying
success. The people of Eureka owe it
tn the boys on the Hill to make their
benefit a rOuser.
