The railroads in combination are doing

They will only injure themselves by
checking business. Manufacturers and
business men are opposed to improbable
rates, but they also object 10 inflated rates

the accomplishment of every purpose:
while sickness thwarts the best inten-

committed important health trusts.
which We hold not merely in our own
behalf but for the benefit of others. In
order that we may be able to discharge
the obligation ofour trusteeship and thus
prove worthy of our generous commits

art of preserving health and prolonging
life. 1t is of paramount importance 10
every person not only TO understand the
means for the preservation of health. but
also TO know what remedies should be
employed for the alienation of the COM
mon ailments of life. Not that we
would advise every man under all cir
cumstances TO attempt TO be his own
physician, but we entreat him to acquire
su ficient knowledge Of his system, and
the laws that govern it, that he may lie
prepared to take care of himself proper

prolong life. In no text book will the
people find the subjects of physiology

POTASH FOR THE PEACH.

In paper read b-fore the American
Philosophical Society, DIR. George
Wood says, in substance, that peach
trteS, after producing a few crops, not
only cease bearing, but perish in a
short time; whereas their natural life
is fifty or sixty years, or more. The
cause of this defective growth is owing
to deficiency of potash in the soil ;
and if this alkali be supplied co the
tree, so that it shall reach the small
roots and be absorbed, til. fruit bear
ing power is restored aud the fruit
itself, premaiurely Perisling is re
vived
Believing at first. with most psrsons.
that the cause of dec,y lay in worms
at the root of the peacL tree, DR.. Wood
put in operation plan which he had
seen his father perform more than fifty
years before, viz: of digging around
the base OF the stem hole four or five
inches deep, scraping away all the
worms that could be found burrowing
at the junction vf the stem and rout
and filling the hole thus made with
hard wood ashes from the fire, which
of course retained all their potash.
This was done IN autumn. and with a
result in the following rpriDg at which
he himself was astonished. The trees
appeared to have been restored to all
their early vigor and freshness; they
put forth bright green leaves, blossom
ing copiously, and bore crop of fruit
such as they had never born before,
many of the branches breaking down
under the load of peaches
DIR. Wood, in rejecting on these re
suits, came to the conclusion that he
must look for an explanation to some
other cause than the destruction OF
few worms; and this cause he believed
to be the ashes, the potash oi which
being dissolved by the rain, bad de
scended along the roots to the rootlets,
and presented them the very food for
the want of which they were dying.

THE CORRECT WAY TO MAKE A HOG
TR0TGH.

Ii is an egregious error to assert, as
many farmers have done, that hog
is predisposed to plant his fore feet in
the trough while eating. Nothing is
more absurd A hog is no more in-
clined TO put his forward feet in the
trough than a horse is wont to put his
feet into his manger The great fault
is in the construction of the hogs
trough. Almost always the trough is
so deep and the front side so high that
the feed can not be reached by either
a large hog or pig until the fore feet
are plantep in the middle of the trough.
Small pigs are required to mount into
the trough with every foot be ore they
can reach the feed. These are the rea-
soIs why hog puts his fore feet in the
trough. Let the front part be mads so
low thai the animal can walk up to it
and reach the feed without resting his
throat on the edge of tie trough, and
he will stand up 70 Il rs horse 70 his
mangsr.
There is no necessity for making
hogs trough so broad and deep that it
will contain fonr times as much feed as
will ever be put into the trough at any
one time. IL the front is three inches
deep and the bottom ten inches broad
in the clear, the trough will hold all
the sw:T and other feed that can be
eaten at one feeding by as many swine
as can stand in front of the trough.
The correct disposition of the trough is
to place it between the feeding apart
ment aud the space appropriated to
the animals. Then let the partition
be made in the form of flap or gate,
and be hung by hinges above the
trough, with the lower erd of the flap
hanging in the trough, SO that it can
play from one side of the trough to the

A REMARKABLE VISION,
What Bridgeport Printer Ssw-A Winged Nan
Floating In the sky.

Mr.. Thomas Rossiter, a printer, re-
siding IN Bridgeport, told OF remark
able vision which he had some years
ago, and DO account of which has
ever been published. The particulars
OF the case are strange and inexplica-
bic. He said: What am going to
tell you about happened a number Of
years ago, but it has never been pub
lished and it will be an original article.
In June, 1860, when | was about
twelve years old, / was going out Of

single passing cloud dimmed the sun
without clearly hiding it, and | saw to
one side of this cloud, and. as it
seemed about ten yards from l.. the

apparent distance OF the spectre from
where stood was about two miles.
IL was nine O'Clock iu the morning and
the sun had reached a good height,
and this man seemed to be on q line
with the sun. His back, or rather his
shoulder. was toward me, SO that
could not see his face. He was well
dressed; ia fact mede me think of a
man in a wedding suit. He hal on a

think that this was tie rejection of a

the figure had wings like those ir the
pictures of angels. They we're of
chinchilla pattern, and the mixture Of
the white and black feathers was
plainly TO be seen. They started at
the shoulders. reached upward to the
neck, and downward to the ankles.
and were moving slowly up and down.

hurry. and it was some moments be
fore she came; but the spectre re-
mained. and she saw it as plainly as
did. This proves that there was moth
ing the matter with me. and that it
really appeared. Presently the sun
came out from under the cloud. but
his light did not dim the vision, which
remained as distinct as before. It
moved slowly away from the sun, and
finally was lost behind some clouds.

can be fastened by q bolt to the front
side until the feed is put into the

properly distributed, unbolt the lower
