---sTHEHoG.-Ofall the beasts that roans
the. field hogs is the dirtiest. Hogs is
dirtier than crow, and crow is dirtier
than skunk. /
Hogs don't have no hair onto 'em like
other fowls. They have bristles.
Brushes are made of bristles.
Hogs would rather lay in,tke mud than
onto q feather bed That Is the reason,
they are always, most nearly all the time,
seen wallering Ia mud holes. y1A 20
Hogs is got different kinds of meat on
'em, which is hams, backbones, tender
-lines, shoulders, sausagemeat, lard, hogs
head, cheese. pigs feet, smoked jowls,
picked pork, Solice and spare-ribs.

TESTIMONIAL.

~. .i,% -. ASDERsoN COUNTY, Aug. 9, 1876.
.~P. X. McCuLLY-Dcar Sir :: We purchased
a 60-Saw Revolving Head Gin of the Daniel
Pratt make last year. We find it to be one
of the best. Cotton Gins we have ever used.
1t is impossible to break the roll Of this Gin.
It takes all the lint from the seed, makes a
splendid sample and the speed of this Gin
is as good as any farmer or public ginner
need want. We can gin a bale of cotton in
sixty minutes. We cheerfully recommend
this Gin to all persons. using Cottons Gins.

How TO STEW OYSTERS At belmont
cos, in New York, which is the headquar-
tiers of epicures, they stew oysters in this
way:
Take one quart of liquid oysters, put
the liquor Ga teacupful for three in stew
pan, and add half as much more water:
salt; good bit of pepper; teaspoonful of
rolled cracker for each Put on the stove
and let it boil; have your oysters ready in
a bowl. The moment the liquor begins to
boil pour in all your oysters say ten for
each person, or six will do. Now watch
carefully, and as soon as it begins to boil
take out your watch, count just thirty
seconds, and take your oysters from the
stove. You will have your big dish ready
with one and half tablespoonfuls of cold
milk for each person. Pour your stew on
this milk and serve Immediately. Never
boil an oyster in milk if you wish it to be
