Sweet Potatoes as Hog Feed.

In recent issue of the Fdrmer one
Of your readers wants information re-
garding the feeding of sweet potatoes to
hogs. / have been waiting for some
one who was more competent than my
self to give the information, but with
your permission will tell what I know
about the matter.
There is no better hog feed than sweet
potatoes, either raw or cooked. Hogs
will fatten rapidly on them themselves,
but will do much better on them if cook
ed. In this part of Illinois where the
corn crop is uncertain many farmers
fatten their own pork on sweet potatoes.
Quite a number have planted them the
past season and turned their hogs into
the patch, and they will not touch an
ear of corn while the potatoes last. But
that is not the best plan, as the hogs
will waste more or less. 1t pays to dig
the potatoes and cook them in largo
kettle, and when nearly done mix in a
small quantity of corn meal or shipstuff;
mash and stir well and let them cook
awhile longer to cook the meal. Feed
cool, in trough, and my word for it,
you will see hogs grow. It is the best
feed for sows aud young pigs that can
be given them. .at
1 have never tested the relative value
of corn and sweet potatoes as a hog
feed, but here, in the fall of the year,
we often have sweet potatoes too large
for sale and feed them to the hogs, as
we always do with the very small ones.
Some may think it is costly feed; but
take into consideration the yield of
sweet potatoes and corn, corn yielding
80 bushels per acre, sweet potatoes $50
TO 200 bushels per acre, and corn some
times worth twice as much per bushel
as potatoes. However, all are not alike
situated. Some can grow corn and
sweet potatoes. Where potatoes do
well they make a good substitute for
corn. Cor. Prdirie Farmer.

had gone crazy but he went on to give
the same orders about other supplies
for an army, and, when week after
wards, every Northern State was in the
market buying blue cloth and army
shirts and blankets, it was found that
Stewart had cornered that whole class
of goods.

conveyed via. Taylorsville to Blowing
Rock, in Watauga county, where they
were turned over to Kirk and his in
famous horde. Then the plundering
and sacking of the bodies of the prison
ers began in earnest. 1t would end with
the march only to be renewed again
when we halted for the night. Even
memorandum books, pictures, and old
letters were not spared. The writer
saved a gold ring only by tying it in his
shirt sleeves. The prisoners grew so
accustomed to it that we have seen
Kinks robbers come round with torches
at night and kick man over with their

march by riding backwards and for

These scenes proved too much for Col.
Stone, and losing his temper he re-
marked within hearing of some OF the
guard: "If should be released I will
fight as never have fought before. .
This was promptly reported to Kirk.

with navy repeater in each hand, rear

towards him, dozen muskets of the
guard were cooked and leveled at him

Stone would have done SO, for he had
the ID in his eyes, but for the in
reference of fellow prisoners, several of
whom at imminent personal rick, clung
to him and held him till some officers
came up and called Kirk elsewhere. All
the prisoners were satisfied that Kirk S
object was to get Col. Stone to step out
so that the guard would have an ey-
cuse to shoot him down.

Hard Times.

The old cry of last summer, has al
ready commenced, and can be heard
every day upon our streets, and it is
predicted that We are to have even
harder times than those of last summer.
We trust not, and such need not be the
case if the large number of idlers would
go to work. The truth of the matter
is we have too large population of
drones, too many consumers of the sub
stance of those who have willingness
to and do work. If these idlers would
get at some kind of work, would go to
some trade, or to the field, and become
producers, the cry of hard times would
soon cease. But if they do not, we may
expect not only to hear the old, old crv,
but will experience it with all its Bit
terness and i'll effects. Our own town
has enough idle element, of both races,
to cultivate every idle field within a
circuit of FIVE miles, Yet we hear tell
of immigration societies and agencies
in our States and our people are en-
couraging immigrants to come here by
holding out to them the advantages of
of our soil and climate. What must be
the feeling these immigrants experience
when they come here and find that we
have so many unemployed men and
boys? Can we hope to get them to stays
TN hnA
dustrious immigrant is going to come
here and devote his time and labor in
helping to support this large class of
idlers? Will they not think it strange
that we should ask for immigrants To
cultivate our lands when we have a
population fully able and that ought 10
cultivate it? The truth of the matter
is that that immigrants viii not come
to q country where there is so much
idleness. ss.-Canton Mail.

Mr.. Fl. W. AFFORD, the inventor of
the lightning steam chicken hatcher.
has established himself at No. 220
North Fourth street, where be is exhib-
iting his great invention at ten cents a
head. a. &
There is no humbug about this thing,
but yeritable fact, as chickens are
hatchedby steam and electricity. without
the aid of hen.
The process of incubation NAV be
explained as follows: There is large
glass case about three feet square, en-
closing two others of smaller size at
the bottom OF this case ia four slides
OF drawers are three hundred eggs, all
IN different stages of incubation, the
Matching facilities being heated air to
the temperature of one hundred and
three degrees, with u humidity of
seventy per cent. This with the aid OF
an electrical machine, to regulate the
temperature, produces from the egg til e
young chicken, which is born without q
mother; in fact it must remain q doubt
in the minds of those little chicks, which
is their mother the hen that lays the eggs,
or the man who matches. them.
AJourn oIrepresentative, in a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. AFFORD, obtained the
the following facts concerning the phe-
nomenon :
The machine was patented about q
year ago, and although Mr.. A. intended
it for an experiment at first, it proved
such a grand success as 70 elicit the
attention and admiration of all who
saw it, and as he is poor man and his
invention SO great q curiosity, he has
concluded to place it on exhibition at
the low price of ten cents admission.
1t is well worth five times that amount
to those who. desire TO look into the
mystery of where little chickens come
from. While our reporter was present
three little chickens came out Of their
shells and looked upon daylight for the
first time.-St. Louis Journal.

a Georgia paper:
The negroes of Columbus, Ca, had a
a Lady Washington Tea Party the other
night. The Father of His Country was
dressed in jean pantaloons and gray
sack coat, and was booted and spurred.
Mrs. Washington wore black domino
and white night-cap. Mary, Queen
of Scots, appeared in pull back mus
lin, and King Henry of Navarro car
ried a blue cotton umbrella. King
Henry expressed deep admiration fol
Geo. Washington. All were black, nc
mulattoes being allowed to participate.

against lime as manure. True enough,
very poor land will not admit a liberal
supply. The quotation
''Too much lime Without manure.
4 VIII ma4e both land ana farmer poor"
is very near correct. Still . its substi-
tute on good land israrely found. Lime,
| iudiciously used, is everywhere esteem
ed as the cheapest and best of manures.
1t stimulates the soil, furnishes food for
plants in all their parts, renders the
land easily worked, decomposes vegeta-

much of the stores of insoluble matter
in the earth, unlocks the ammonia that
would otherwise lie cased up in the sill
Gates of the fields, and, indeed. in many
ways benefits, permanently, all lands
upon which it is applied.
! johnson, ,of the Farmers Encyclopedia,
says: "Lime promotes the permanent
fertility of the land, and unless washed
away can only be removed by becom
ing food for the cultivators.
The Farm and Gardner says: Cline
acts as decomposingagent, and unlocks
the ammonia of the soil, rendering i'm
mediately available stores of wealth
which can otherwise be brought slowly
into use"
Porter, the Yale College chemist, says:
"Lime Is the key that unlocks the treas
ures of the soil, forcing itself into the
grains of granite. and other silicates
which are found in the earth; it sets it's
inmates at liberty that they may be alb
sOrbed by the soil as food plants"
Nortons Scientific Agriculture says:
"Lime acts both upon the organic and
inorganic matter of the soil, decompos-
ing certain insoluble compounds, bring
ing them into state favorable to the
subsistence of plants. It is an abso-
lutely essential ingredient in the soil,
being constantly needed by plants in all
their parts"
Mckenzie, forming his opinion from
the best authorities, writes: Lime rem
ders soils more easily worked, and de-
composes vegetable and animal matter.
1t is Of more use than all other manures

A Tennessee correspondent. deeply
interested in sheep-raising writes as
Our people are not generally fond OF
mutton, because they have rarely OF
ever tasted good mutton. would ad-
vocate sheep-raising as well for the
meat as the wool, and I think that it
would pay well to substitute, to great
extent, mutton for bacon. We eat
vastly too much hog meat. Our health
would be much better if we ate less OF
it. Good mutton, well fed and well
butchered, is very wholesome and
nutritious food, and it can be raised for
half the price of bacon, even taking the
"hog round" I would not substitute
it altogether for hog meat, for ! like
q good slice of ham, a piece OF middling,
or even a jowl, as much as any man,
but I would mix in q good quarter OF
fat mutton, with the contents of the
smoke house. Variety is charming,
you know, and when it pleases the
palate, conduces to health, and spares
the pocket, it is exquisitely charming
I will bet that any man who will make
the experiment and use mutton as food
upon his plantation "will return to his
mutton" Wool-raising may be made
immensely profitable at the South.
We have every natural advantage to en-
gage in the industry and surpass oil
competitors. All we lack is the will
and patience. We can combine with il
meat raising, and add largely to ou'
gains, physically as well as financially
