FEEDING Young BROOD Sows.-During
the growing season, grass or red clover
should constitute large proportion of the
food OF brood sow. Apples, carrots and
parsnips are also excellent for such ami
mails. If she should be fed with swill, let
rich milk be diluted with dish water, or
whey, and a small quantity of oatmeal or
barley meal to be mingled with it. Such
feed will promote her growth more, and
will not fatten as much as Indian meal.
The leading idea should be to keep brood
SOW growing, and her carcass developing,
by means of nutritious food, for one year.
No SOW should be allowed to breed until
she is one year old. Then, if she has been
selected with reference to prolification and
properly managed, the proprietor may be-
gin to estimate her excellence as breeder.
There is nothing gained by allowing sows
to drop litter of pigs before they are one
year old. But, there is always more lost
than we suppose. Breeding while too young
will always check the proper development
of the carcass, which developing the car
cass) is an important consideration in rear
ing any kind of domestic animal. There
is no other domestic animal that is so dis
posed to be precocious-to breed while very
young-aS are the sows of our improved
breeds of swine. The intelligent farmer
should guard carefully against any adverse
consequences that may occur from breed
ing too young, or from the sows being too
fat.-PracticaL Farmer.

@-@ searching cathar-
tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several asSimilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their RANGE can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have batlled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best phySic for children: BIZ
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
rive rain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from tho elements Of weakness:
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
a.. climates, containing neither calOme
nor any deicteriouS drug, these Pills may
hp taken with safety by anybody. Their

MILK AND BEEF.

Food is the support of the cow-that is,
her system, and the calf she carries, or the
milk afterwards as a substitute. She can
digest and use only certain amount-no
more. Now, if there is much milk, the
food eaten and digested will mostly go to
form this and it requires good feeding to
produce and keep up this flow of milk, as
with the Ayrshires, the Jersey, and in
many instances, the native COW. This is
evidence against the idea, entertained by
some, that both milk and flesh (including
fat can be secured at their maximum in
the same animal To divide equally what
is digested, SO that the milk gets half, and
the flesh and fat, ETC., the other, could not
possibly, it seems to me, afford a maximum
quantity of milk, and at the same time,
full development of beef.
1t is true some animals, like some of the
Short horns, afford a good carcass and, in
addition, large flow of milk, when they
are vigorous digesters. At the same time
these animals never get fat while producing
largely of milk. 1t is rule-is it not
universally the case ?-that the milk must
be stopped when the animal is to be fat
tened-stops itself, indeed, when fattening.
Besides, there is an aptitude for milk or
fat, which is bred. We breed the one in
the Ayrshire, the other in the Short horn.
This aptitude must consist in applying the
food for the purpose intended, either to
produce fat or milk.
The stomach is the means of carrying
out one or the other of these purposes, to
convert all the food it can, and the guam
tity cannot be made sufficient to carry
both purposes to their highest extent unless
the digestive capacity is increased suffi-
GENTLY. This, then, it strikes me, is the
point Increase digestion and the two
may be carried, aided by breeding for the
two. Or either may be correspondence
extended-the milk increased in the milk
ing strain, Or increase of fat or flesh in the
other.

Transportation of Cattle.

All persons who have travelled much in
grazing sections of this country must have
been struck with the manner in which the
cattle cars are crowded, and how the Door
animals suffer for the want of water and
food. 1t is distressing to see them with
wild staring eyes and elongated tongues
reaching out desperately after water, which
they arc ever trying to lap, and never do. No
man can behold these poor creatures without
feeling that Mr.. BERGu has, after all. great
reason for his lively sympathies for the brute
races.
We are gratiied to see that Congress has
again seriously taken the subject up. At the
last session bill for regulating the cattle
transportation was under consideration, and
now bills have been introduced into both
the Senate and House. Some old fogies en-
certain q doHbt whether Congress has the
right, under the Constitution, to regulate
this transportation of the bovines. 1t is but
q small, mousing business for strict con-
.struction to busy itself about. To interfere TO
prevent small show Of humanity to the
cattle would be llttleness of craftsmanship
that should subject the authors to the perils
of the long horns of Texas. Really we
should think man who would help to de-.

or so since to The Committee on Agriculture
OF the House upon this subject by Mr..
ALLISON, Of Illinois, one Of the largest ship

been engaged in the business for twenty-one
years. He stated that for fifteen years OF the

four hours without taking them out of the
cars for rest, food, and water; and that at

Of very extensive influence, and is regarded

The party that created greenbacks is the one
to protect them. The true position has been
already outlined by the Journal. and is this
Repeal OF the resumption act. and then hands

bring about a restoration Of financial health
Is rest and production. 4 few years OF quiet

and then the voice of the people must make
itself heard against any further tinkerine

The Lower James River.

The prosecution OF the work Of deepening
tic lower James river is a matter Of vital
importance 20 this city. 1t would cost say
three or four millions of dollars 10 build q
railroad from Richmond to Newport News,
yet the river is worth many such railroads.
In fact, we cannot hope to make Richmond
place of great dignity in commercial sense
and VIC may almost say in any sense unless
we shall have river channel from Richmond
TO the sea of such depth and regularity as 10
make navigation easy and certain. With such
6 channel our trade must 20 on 10 prosper
aud grow until this city will become the
most noarishing inland city in the Atlantic
States.
A law of commerce invites the maritime
trade to penetrate the land rs far as may be
with regard to facility and safety and the
produce from the interior seeks the ship that
takes it TO sea at the nearest point. BY our
noble river we have now sixteen feet 10 sea,
and may, ere long, have twenty feet. This
would be sufficient for all coastwiSe trade,
and will be quite capacious enough for near
i the entire bulk Of foreign commerce of the
Country. The shipping interest is rather
inclining to moderate. sz ID vessels for foreign
trade, because it is more profitable TO go full
loaded to one port than to take cargo for
two or more ports; and ii is easier to get
such full load for a moderate-szed ship
than for one unus ually large. There will like
" be no increase in the capacity Of ships, and
the channel Of James river will accommodate
the foreign trade, with nota great many eX
Ception>.
we lrEs. that Congress will give to James
river the attention that is due to it. 1t has
been mos. signally neglected in times past,
aud it is but fair that it should receive now
the notice that is especially due from its long
neglect. Compare it with the Hudson, q
river BY 30 means It's equal, and see how EN-
phat!cally il has been neglected.
But we must always remember what We
owe to this Invaluable artery to our trade
1t will not do for Us to stand still, waiting fol
Congress. Rather let us remember that we
must never relax our own energies, but must
add to our own means tie aid that we may
receive from Cougress-aid eminently due
from the Federal Government to a river OF
vast value to the commerce Of the nation.
The Committee on the River, in their very
proper report published BY us yesterday, i'm
pressed 1t upon the people of Richmond not
to suspend operations on the river, but to
maintain in its full condition the great
improvement that has been made in it at all
events. There could not be better advice.
1t would be fatal to give way and fall back
il this grand enterprise -one vital to the
city, aud which it W ould be suicidal to neg.
