Cheap Gates as Substitute for Bars.

A writer in the Rural Home says: g
have just made gates to replace some
old-fashioned pairs Of bars that I am
heartily tired of opening and shutting.
They are cheap, durable and very
easily made. Each gate is twelve feet
in length by four feet in height. Five
boards four inches wide are used, be-
sides batten and braces. Battens
should be placed On both sides, making
three thicknesses to nail through. 1t
does not take more than tnirty-three
feet of boards, worth perhaps sixty-six
cents, to make each gate. Add to that
ten cents for nails, and. the value of
one hour Of your time, and you have
the whole expense. A gate Of this
kind will outlast framed one costing
$500, and as no hinges are used, that
expense is saved also. It is held il po-
sition by means of 8 stake driven In
the ground four or five inches from the
post; not in g. straight line, but a little
more than the thickness of the gate to-
ward the driveway, SO that when open
ed, the gate can be turned half way
around and be parallel with the drive
way. It is kept few Inches from the
ground by strip, failed to both stake
and post, On which one end rests when
shut, and on which it slides half It's
length and then swings round as on q
pivot when opened. The strip is usu-
ally placed under he second board, in
a space arranged for it, by cutting away
two of the battens. This strip takes
the place OF hinges. A gate of this
kind can be made in much less time
and at as little expense as pair OF
bars, and is certainly much more con-
venient." aiatHa = ssalz iaa g

Turkey Raising.

The great and only secret IN raising
turkeys is to keep them dry and warm.
They must at the same time, have such
grass, bugs, flies, and gravel, as they
would pick up if running at large.
Make pen of any old boards, not less
than two and one-half feet high (more
would be better, and SO tight that the
chicks cannot get out through it, ia a
corner of the meadow orchard, c an.
pasture or house-yard. Sixteen feet
square will be large enough for brood
of ten or fifteen, and half a dozen such
broods may be kept in a place sixteen
feet wide and forty or fifty feet Long.

Asserting Hogs for Market.

The st. LOUIS Lave STOCK reporter mas
an article upon the subject of asserting
hogs before shipping, in which it gives
some very good advice to the farmers
and feeders of hogs. The writer says:
"There are many farmers especial
Iy in that section OF the country west of
the Mississippi who will tell you that
they can get more for their crop by
marketing it all at once, smooth and
rough, big and little, making the good
hogs sell the inferior or undesirable
ones. That this is false idea, and one
that has cost our western farmers and
feeders dearly, there can be but little
doubt. If it pays a tobacco planter to
separate his tobacco crop in grades and
price them in different hogsheads and
sell each lot on its merits, why will it
not pay for hog feeders to assert their
hogs before shipping, allowing each lot
to be sold upon its merits? We have
buyers for all classes Of hogs, just as
we have for all grades of grain, tobacco
and cotton. The packer buys his hogs
with reference to certain qualities and
pays accordingly; the shipper has q
standard according to the market for
which he has orders, and the butcher
another. IF they buy mixed lots it is
only to sc. few desirable hogs fer
their trade that is contained in the
drove. They are 10 sooner bought and
penned than the process of culling is
commenced. and those hogs that are
adapted to their particular trade are
put by themselves, and the others are
thrown back upon the market. Now
the buyers labor for sorting" has to
be paid for, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that he allows something for his
labor out of the purchase plice Of the
hogs. Now then if buyers can pur-
chase hogs here upon the market and
assert them and make money, farm
and feeders certainly ought to be able
to do so by " sorting their hogs before
shipping; as a smooth, even, desirable
lot Of hogs will certainly bring more
money than s. mixed drove.
After making some comparisons be-
tween the ST. Louis and Chicago mar
kets to the disparagement Of the latter,
the Reporter adds:
Interior shippers cannot pay too
they market their hogs, and where it
Call Uo uOno snlpuoLte SHOulU 1uVdTl-
ably be shaped up before loading, keep
ing the good and bad separate"
While the tenor Of the above article
is undoubtedly for the good of the
farmers and shippers, there may DE
doubts about their ability to follow the
advice given. Unless the farmer had
a larger number Of hogs than farmers
usually have to ship, he would find
sorting up his stock and sending the
grades separately, difficult and expen-
sive. Still, as such sorting would add
largely to the farmers income, we
would suggest to farmers that by put
ting the droves of several owners TO-
gether when ready for shipment, much
could be done to increase their profits.
The choice hogs, says Philadelpnias,
could be cut out Of each lot, weighed
and credited to the owner; the next
lower quality could then be served in
the same way, and SO On down to culls.
Shrinkage, freights, feed-bills and all
other expenses, and the receipts from
the sales should be divided equally

A Berlin dispatch says: The measures taken by
Turkey for the punishment Of the Salonica assassins
have given satisfaction here.
The New York Heralds special says the American
steamship Franklin, Admiral Borden, left Nice for
Salonca on May 10th. AdFices from Salonica state
that six Of the principal culprts in the late outrages
there have been publicly executed Perfect tranquility
now prevails. Three more Of the rioters are to be ex
ccuted.
There is great excitement in Constantinope in re-
gard the Sofas and Christians, both armng with
knives and threatening to come into collision The
Sofas compelled the Sultan to demand the resignation

LONDON, April 27th.-A Berlin correspondent de-
cares that although the semi-cfeial journal repre-
sent that President Delbruek has retired account
Of his health it is we'll known IN reliable quarters
that he resigned because he was unable TO give his

that the merits Of the treaty are to be measured.
1t is charged by its opponents with being
put-up Job" for the benefit Of certain par
ties. That may possibly be its temporary eff
feet, but no one believes that was the object of
it. As well say the purchase of Louisiana
was a put-up job, because its effect was to
benefit certain sugar planters-or that the fif-
teen millions paid to Mexico for California
was put-up job, because the effect was TO
benefit few far-seeing mining adventures"
BY the arrival Of the bark Colombo from
Hongkong, $50 Chinese immigrants have been
introduced, consisting Of 10 men, women
and 6 boys. So far as appearances 90, they
are healthy and active set and likely to give
satisfaction as laborers but the government
ought to insist that the name and destination
Of every person shall be preserved, as well as
that ofthe employer, by the agent of the Board
Of Immigration, in order that the proper par
ties may be held responsible for the passage
money advanced. We understand that these
laborers are offered twelve dollars a month and
found in food and lodging to ship as rice cul-
tivators. If these monthly wages can be given
to laborers who have heretofore received but
one, two or three dollars per month for their
services, they can readily afford to refund the
passage money advanced to transport them
here.
1t was generally understood at the time that
the order for these immigrants was sent, that
women were to be brought as well as men, but
we find now that this has not been carried out.
The result Of this venture will disappoint all.
Here we have only females out of $50 immi-
grants. But one course remains TO be adopted
that in all future shipments of immigrants
at public expense, the number of
women shall equal that Of men and preference
shall be given to families. Where a man immi-
CRATES to another country, accompanied with his
wife and children, the probabilities are that he
a permanent settler, and this is what
we need here. While we shall cheerfuly en-
courage immigration of both sexes, from Japan,
China, the South Sea groups, Europe, or any
,ther quarter from which they can be induced
o come, we shall oppose the introduction of
males only, at government expense, from any
source. The country is already sufficiently
lemoralized by an excess Of fire thousand
males, out Of population Of 10000

WI have no desire to descend to the miry
arena where alone the AdDa1iSer is capable of
couiesiing for the defence Of its seventeenth
oeuiary views. The difference between that
ieuTual and ourselves, on the Chinese question,
Is simply this We are the advocate of the
immortal and invincibIe principle embodied in
Article I, q our Constitution, that " God hath
endowed AIL NEx with certain inalienable
RIGHTS, among which are life, liberty, and the
night Of acquiring, possessing, and protecting
property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety
and happiness The Adrersiser would limit
ilis glorious declaration to WHITE men. We
advocate the growth and advancement Of Ha-
wan through all Influences, whether from with
IN or without, without regard to color, race, or
Fucriaus coalition; the Advertisers policy is
based on pure selhshness, and though pretend
ing 10 be favorable to the aborigines of these
islands. il is SO only because that 1t knows from
their weakness there can be no competition
with white interests. The same arguments
which j. uses against the Chinese would be
applicable to a restoration Of pure Hawaiian
population Of 100000, such as Capt. Cook
found here one hundred years ago. We regret
shai IN tins country, where it has been so long
CONCEDED that inferior races have equal rights
with the superior, any one should be found to
advocate q return to the curtailmeut Of liberty,
the establishment Of the whipping post, and
other kindred inhumanities Of man to bis fell
loumaa which distinguished the dark ages.
