GROW YOUR OWN MEAT-Hoss nav
well. they are especially worthy Of atten.
ton from Southern farmers. The crowd
ing OF many swine together, as is usua,
among large swine growers of the West
may lead to disease, as i, has in manv ;n'
stances; but it is far different with those
farmers who aim to grow only their own meat
with small quantity in excess. All over tho
south hogs have lately been far lcss diseased
than in other sections. Good attention will
40 much to ward off disease, while our more
favored climate, with the aid of chufa Tn.
bcrs, sweet potatoes, clover pastures, etc,
Will enable the Southern farmer to grow
his own meat at very small cxpenditure
of either capitol or labor. A good cow. il
10 estimated, will earn about fifty dollars per
ann anaq oos esar so% OF wa all d fer
forty dollars clear per annum where the in
crease is sold off, or double that amount
where the pigs arc fed and fattened for
meat, and this can easily be done, and at a
very little expense, where theres are cows
with skim milk to spare. There is vcry
little food that is marketable that hogs cat
in TWELVE months, and yet many can be
grown OIL almst every farm, and without
adding anything to the running expense of
the same. Let every Southern farmer re-
solve to procure at least one good, sound
brood sow, and to grow his own bacon, and
thus become perfectly independent of the
pork packing, trichnia meat ring that every
year make fortunes by packing and speculat.
ing upon the misfortune and improvidence Of
Southern farmers. When every one shall
grow his own hogs we shall hear of no
more horrible deaths from eating uusuuuI
pork-meat packed for Southern consump-
tion-of diseased and worm infected hogs.

EYES BURNED Our BY MOLTEN IRoN.
Yesterday afternoon, a number Of cm
ployees in the foundry of Messrs. Totten
20. were casting chilled roll. Near
ly two tons OF iron were required to make
the casting, and the services of twenty men
were required to handle it, While they
were ourng the molten metal in the mould
there was sudden and terrific report, which
was closely followed by a shower of LIQUID
| iron. The red hot metal few in every di-
rection and dropped in splotches upon and
about the workmen. TheY"rau TO escape
the shower, i" their terror dropping the
ladlc which yet contained most of the metal.
The fudfe was overturned and ~immediatelv
great streams shot out in quick pursuit Of
the flying laborers. Two Of the workmcn,
closely followed by streams of the red hot
iron: fell into adjoining pits and the metal
ran IN upon them, burning their flesh to q
crisp in many places. One mans face was
bnrned to crisp and his eyes were burnt
out of his head, and in their places the sock
cts were filled with chunks of chilled metal
That man was George L. Ebbert. of Allie
ghany. Waiter Moran's eyes, too, were
burnt from the sockets, and his face, breos..
arms and hands were burnt to a crisp at
different places. Here and there the red
hot metal had actually eaten its way to his
bones.
Mr.. Totten was Intercepted by the re-
PORTER as to the -cnnse of the onrloeion, and
ne attributed it to clamp cave" In other
words, the sand with which ths urpuld had
been packed was not properly dried, and -,
perhaps, too, not properly grooved, so that
the steam generated could not escape
