K MILLIONS ~ SaEgP.-A successful
wool grower of Barbour county, Ala.
writes to the Cuktirdtor that he feeds his
large flock of sh ,ep during winter on
China-berries, and finds that it prevents
shedding Of wool. He says: From my
experience, our worn-out lands here in
Barbour county will pay the owner
gresssser peg cent. on the money invested
than the fertile lands Of the West and
the blue grass regions Of Kentucky, il he
will only stick China-berry tree in eve
~ gully, aud keep two or three sheep to
every tree. The sheep will then gather
the berries themselves as they fall from
the tree, at the same time the roots of the
tree viii stop the gully from growing
larger, sud the aheep will tread in the
sidos snd cause it to fill up. There is no
sweeter or more palatable dish than NUT
ton, and there Is ready sale for wool or
mutton. Mr. Editor, flock of sheep is
as good as bank account, paying heavy
dividends three times year; first, the
wool comes in April to help the farmer
along; second, the mutton in the sum-
mer to help finish his crop, and then
where the sheep are penned, the turnip
patch, to help fatten pork hogs and feed
mitch cows in winter.

A COOP USE OF P's.-One of our cx-
changes indulges in the use of P's to ex-
press what it may be hcalthful to all SUBJ
scribers to newspapers to read, mediate
and inwardly digest. 1t says: Persons
who patronize papers should pay prompt
ly, for the pecuDiary prospects of the
press have peculiar power in pushing
forward public prosperity. If the printer
Is paid promptly and his pocket book
kept plethoric by prompt-paying patrons,
he. puts his pen to paper in peace; he
paints his pictures Of passing events in
his paper is of more pleasure to his peo-
pie. Paste this piece of provorhia, phil
osophy in some place where all persona
can perceive it. Be pleased also to pom
der upon it thyself patiently and perse-
veringly and profitably, and persistently
practice its precepts perpctually."

REMEDY FOR HOG CHoLERA.-I send
for publication to our paper remedy for
the cure of the "hog epidemic" (fever)
known as hog cholera. Safe and perfect
remedy in my hands for the last twelve
months, and rs powerful in the contest
with the hog disease fever rs was the
pebble which David used in his hostile
meeting with the uncircumcised deGcn of
Israel.
Twenty grains of calomel for pig two
or three months old.
Thirty grains of calomel for pig four
months old.
Forty grains of calomel for pig ten
months old.
Sixty grains of calomel for pig fifteen
months old.
Plan of administering: Take small
piece of meat, cut slit or pocket, cram
in the calomel, then stick the meat on
the end of sharp pointed stick and hand
it to the hog. They will eat meat when too
sick to cat corn. If not we'll within
three days, repeat. In no case but one
have had to repeat, out of more than
fifty trials.

Far back in the remote ages, from Ar
istotle and Plato, down to Locke. Milton.
Montesquieu ana the illustrious fathers
of 1776, the great problem has been agi-
tated: How shall free and just GOV ern-
ment be established and maintained
among men? And the answer is, BY
power holding power in check. I'm
checked power in government, under
whatever guise or name. is despotism.
Every people having interests peculiar 10
themselves. must have the power OF pro-
tccting them. If they have not, they do
not rule themselves, but are ruled in a
q state of political subsection. Here was
the mighty T0o'S On which tho Democratic
party raised its noble ram parts for lib
erty; and the great principles of free

stand to-day solid and unshaken, for the
Craftsmanship of the future. At this
time there are millions in the United
States who cherish these principles-who
place their hopes on them, and will re-
spond to the party organization, honestly
aiming TO enforce them.
From the beginning Of the Union, the
contest arose between restricted and o
consolidated government free govern
ment and d despotism. Through the
long struggle of seventy years, in measure
after measure, many Democrats, chiefly
at the North, went over to the consols-

ism of consolidation. 81 So
Now, by tho experience in which we
exist, all men can see the inevitable fate
of every free government abandoning the
principles of tho Democratic party.
Men may change in uphoidiug them.
Men may abandon them. But they live
in the breasts of the people, as the true
and c:.y principles CO !l;;.saiftsy l;saiftsy I}es;;ot-
