GOOd Adviser

Those men who understand the val

valuable lesson. 1t is a wondrous adj
vantage TO man, in every pursuit OF vo-
cation, to sec1r an adviser in a sensible
woman. In woman there Is al once a
subtle delicicy of tact AMI a plain

bined to an equal degree in man. y
woman. if she be real y your friend.
will have a sensible regard for Your
character, honor and repI,e. She will
seldom counsel you To do a shabby
thing, for a woman friend always de
sires to be proud of you. At the same
time. her constitutional timii!ty makes
her more cautious than your male
friend. She, therefore, seldom counsels
you To do An imprudent thing. \ mans
best female friend is a wife OF good

she is chained in a wed,ock, winch is a

large, had access to timber rdnge, while
ours seldom ventured beyond the prai-
rio li.uIts. The result of these different
conditions and circumstances was that,
while the timber hogs died by scores
with cholera, l never knew one affected
by it that ranged entirely upon the prai-
RE. 1t is presumable that the owners
Of the timber hogs depended principally
on the hogs procuring their own living,
while We, of the prairie,depended most
ly on the crib and slop-tub. To my mind
the diff rent surroundin 8 account for
the different results obtained.
/ recently met with a very intelligent
gentleman from Decatur county, this
state, who informed me that in his vi
cinity there was formerly a heavy loss
OF hogs from cholera, but since the en-
actment of the hog law has compelled
them to fence up pastures for their hogs
they have become healthy, and a death
| by cholera is not known.
The result of my observation, on the
other hand, is that when hogs are too
closely crowded in lot or pen, especially
in time of drought, when much dust &C
cumulates, they soon become unhealthy,
and die, if conditions are not changed.
From the above named facts, I de-
duce the following c~orollaries, viz:
Keep hogs away from timber range,
give them plenty of room in timothy
and clover pasture, don't compel them
to feed in dust, give them plenty of
pure water, a moderate amount of corn
through the summer, all the slOp that
can be produced, provide ample she'd
room to shade them in summer, and
keep them comfortable in winter, and
Ii hog will be as healthy as he ever
was, while the opposite conditions will
produce the opposite effect.

misses and conclusions, but be this as it
may, | have a strong desire to elicit.

rooms, who suppose themselves to be
alone. The whole building was fur.
