Raising And Feeding Swine.

If one thing needs reforming more
than another it is the manner of rails
ing and feeding swine. From the day
they are large enough to eat they are
|offered all manner of refuse about the
place, such as rank weeds, filthy slops,
spoiled vegetables and meats, dead
fowl, etc. They are allowed to rum
mage the dungyard and CLEAN the re-
fuse of food in the faces of cattle and
horses, on the ground Of economy. But
we imagine that the quantity of food
saved in this way is very insignificant
not to exceed the value of bushel of
shelled corn year among the whole
stock of an ordinary farm. The
objections to the practice of keeping
swine in this way are so serious, how
ever, that the reasons in favor of it
have no force at all. The origin of the
trichinosis in swine may be always
traced to the consumption of vile stuffs
in the food, or being housed and
yarded amid filth and foul air. Inter
ests as dear as health and life require
thorough reform in keeping swine.
Let their food be as pure as that which
other animals consume; let them be
kept in clean quarters and have pure
air, let diseased or unthrifty animals
be separated from those in health land
we may have no fears of trichinOsis
among either swine or human beings.

and do what they ought to do them.
selves and then there are the board.
ing and lodging, and, perhaps, after
all, make bad lot Of cheese. Now.
these last two things are the principal
causes of the farmer downfall. There
is too much expense incurred. | do
not mean to say that there is too much
labor employed; mean to say there is
not enough work done for the money,
and that if the farmer will stick to his
business and look round his men. he
VIII have enough done; and then,
again, if the good housewife will make
the cheese herself, and be up in the
morning and see that the calves are
seen after properly, her husband won't
be going to liquidation.
Some may ask, why not the master
see after the calves Well, consider
he has sufficient to do to look after the
wagner and shepherd, and setting his
men off to work, and seeing that they
get at it quickly, for sometimes they
won't be off as soon as they ought, pre-
tending that they can't find the tool
they want. Now, Mr.. editor, | have
only few words to say more, and they
are simply these. Even with wet
bad seasons, ETC., if a man
cannot make a percentage on a moder-
ate outlay on good farm, after pay
ing rent, he wants lesson out of an
others book /; and as this is COM
mencement of the new year, would
advise him to look over his accounts
and see how matters stand.

Why Advertise ?

People sometimes ask why does DR.. K. v.
Pierce, OF Buffalo, spend so much money in
advertising his family medicines, which are so
well known, and surpass all other remedies in
popularity and sale. II is well known that A.
7. Stewart considered it good policy, and I'M
doubtedly it paid him, to spend many hum
bred thousand dollars in advertising his goods,
yet nobody questioned the excellence of his
merchandise. The grand secret Of success
lies in Offering only goods which possess merit
to sustain themselves, and then through lib
eral and persistent advertising making the
people thoroughly acquainted with their good
qualities. Men do not succeed in amassing
great fortunes, establishing thriving and per-
manent business. and founding substantial in
situations, like DIR. Pierce's Grand Invalid's
Hotel, at Buffalo, which costs over two hun
bred thousand dollars, unless their business
be legitimate, their goods meritorious, and
the services which they render the people gen.
ulne and valuable. DIR. Pierce does not at
tempt to humbug Won by telling you that his
Golden Medical Discovery will cure all diseas-
les. He says, "It your lungs are hall wasted
by consumption, my Discovery will not cure
yOL, yet as a remedy for severe coughs, and
AL durable bronchial, throat and lung afec-
tons, believe il to be unsurpassed as rem
ledy." The people have confidence in mis-
medicines because he does not Over-recom-
mend them, and when tried, they give salts
faction. His Medical Adviser, book of over
nine hundred pages, illustrated by two hun
bred and eighty-two engravings, and bound
in gilt, is offered to the people at so moderate
a price $3.50, post paid,l that it is no wonder
that almost one hundred thousand have
already been sold. His memorandum books
are on every druggists counter tor tree dis
tribution.

Profits of Farming in England.

Our farmers are complaining of the
unprofitablenes of farming, and while
the same causes may not be at work
here as in England, still the following
sketch from the Agricultural Gazette
may throw some light upon the SUBJ
ject, as it is very truthful picture,
drawn by an artist who seems to know
whereof he speaks:
Having studied farming from boy
of Is years, up to the present time, Il
am not thirty yeti, l am rather sur
prised to see it so often put down as
very poor paying game. am willing
to admit that farmers, as rule do not
make so much profits as they did some
years ago, and what is the reason
Well, there are a good many things to
cause this falling off in the profits one
thing is, rents have risen considerably,
another, labor has risen. But the
wages l consider mere nothing
the only thing that find fault with
is, laborers are not so obliging as for
merly.
Now | am coming to the third reason,
and think the most important one
where are the farmers and their wives
half of their time? There is not the
least doubt | am asking a question
which can soon be answered. The
farmer is most likely gone to see how
the men are getting on, for an hour OF
so. 'But STOP" says the farmer, "the
hounds meet as half-past 10; | must 60
and have a spin with them to-day.
Of course they say it don't cost much
to keep one horse ; but with keeping
the horse, a man to look after it is
needed-and then, what are the men
doing while our hunting farmer is away
after the hounds Why, curled VI
under some hedge having their din
ners, of course. How long they stay
there it is impossible to say and then
of course, he must go to market one
day a week, at least, and as soon as his
time arrives to depart, off go the men
anu ndNC luOlAlCA GOAhCs
reading these remarks, may ask, how
do you know this ? My answer is,
worked for a gentleman in Oxford
shire who farmed nearly 1000 acres OF
good land, and had many opportunities
of seeing how they managed it. i
don't say have not done the same N.Y.
self of course, when the others went
l was compelled to go. otherwise
would have been disliked by all the
men, and probably soon should have
been compelled to leave. Now, the
hunting horse was the cause of all this,
SO there would be large bill for him
to pay.
The farmers wives, years ago, USED
to make cheese, and at the same time
superintend the rearing of the calves I;
but, o, dear me where is there q
farmers wife that makes cheese now
Why, of course hey must have dairy
maid-yes, ami pay from $50 to f4O a
year for a trustworthy person to come

what she should do. As he had a good
situation here, he decided to have
them come.
The little nurse started with her
charge. She knew nothing OF travel
ing and consequently her difficulties
were many. When one or two days
out on the ocean the babe took seasick.
As the child grew worse, she applied
to the physician for medicine. He
ordered her to give the child warm
bath each morning. She went to the
cook for warm water, only to be grufhy
ordered off with the remark that he
had no time to trouble with the mat
ter. Repeated attempts proved no
better, and, being TOO timid to apply to
others for aid, she could do nothing
for the little sufferer. New York was
reached at last, and she thought her
journey almost over. The children
were delighted with the thought that
they would soon see their father. But
d two days journey on the cars still
awaited them.
The babe grew worse, and on the
last day it died in her arms. She
dared not tell any one of the fact, for
fear the child would be taken from
her and then her father could not see
it. The train made longer stop than
usual at certain place, and the chIl-
dren went out onto the platform for
exercise. A lady, noticing so many
children alone went and and talked
with them. She drew aside the cloak
from the little ones face and saw that
it was dead. The poor girl begged so
piteously that she might be allowed to
take it the few more miles she had to
go, that small coffin was procured and
the dead babe laid in it. The children
started once more on their way, the
young nurse carrying the coffin on her
lap.
The father was reached in due time
at the home of his brother, and the
poor child laid the coffin on the floor
and gave herself up to her long-pent
grief, telling through her tears how
much she had suffered and how she
had prayed that she might bring the
babe alive to her father.
Such was the experience of James
Stockton. 1t was sad trial for him
but he is comforted with the thought
that such a noble daughter is spared to
him.

The story Of au Emigrant---A Heroic Girl.

The Story of au Emigrant---A Heroic Girl.
James Stockton lived in a small town
IN England. Work was very scarce,
and he, with many others, felt that he
could not long remain where he was.
The fever to go to America had pene-
trated the little village, and many were
selling out what little they had at a
sacrifice, TO get means to come to this
country, where they thought all was
prosperity. Stockton had brother
who had gone to the United States and
was reported as doing well, He deter
mined to hunt him up, and If work
was plenty to send for his family. Al
though he had no idea of the size of
the country to which he was going,
and did not know where his brother
was located, he thought it would be
very easy matter to find him. He soon
discovered his mistake.
After wandering about for some
time, he finally found good employ
ment in a little place not far from
Cleveland. Time passed, and he gave
up all hope of finding his brother, and
prepared to return to his family in
England. One day a fellow workman
asked his name, telling him that man
named William Stockton was a neigh
Dor of his. Stockton felt that he had
found his long lost brother, and was
so rejoiced that could not finish his
DAYS work, He found his brother
comfortably situated with a family
around him, and it made him long to
have his dear ones, also, come. He
wrote to have them prepare. as he
would send them passage tickets in a
short time.
He procured the tickets and was
about to send them, when he received
a letter from England. 1t was long
and affectionate message from his
wife, telling him that she was all
ready to come, and would bring to
him a little child four months old,
born to them after his departure from
home. She spoke of the JOY she would
have in making the journey, knowing
she would soon see him. The poor
woman little thought that her journey
of life was nearly over. At the end of
the letter were few lines from the
oldest child, girl Is years of age, in
forming him that, on the next morn
ing after her mother had written the
letter, the children heard the little
babe crying, and, rs the mothers voice
was not heard, one of them went to
see what was the matter, and found
the mother Gead in bed with the child
clasped in her arms. This left the
care of five small children to this girl
of Is years, and she asked her father
