FATTENING ANIMALS.

A very common error among farmers,
which needs correction, is the opinion
that animals may be fattened in q few
weeks, and fitted for market by heavy
feeding, or, as it is tel med, by pushing.
Many farmers do not think of beginning to
tatten their hogs or cattle for early winter
market until autumn has actually COM
menced. Their food is then suddenly
changed, and they are dosed with large
quantities OF grain or meal. This sudden
change often deranges the system. and it
is frequently some time before they re-
cover from it. From observation and in
quiry we find that the most successful
managers adopt a very different course.
They iced moderately, with great regular
ity, aud for a longer period. The most
successful pork raiser that we have met
with commences the fattening of his
swine Tor the winter market early in the
preceding spring. In fact, he keeps his
young swine in good growing condition
all through the winter. He begins mod
erately, and increases the amount gradu-
ally, never placing before the animal more
than it can freely eat. With this treat
ment, and strict attention to the comfort
and cleanliness of the animal, his spring
pigs at ten months usually exceed three
hundred pounds, and have sometimes
gone as high as four hundred and fifty
pounds, and pigs wintered over reach a
weight of five or six hundred. The corn
which is ground and scalded before feed
ing, nets him, on an average, not less
than one dollar per nushel, when the mar
ket price of pork is five cents per pound.

FASHION GOSSIP.

Natural cherry wood sticks, an inch in
diameter, are the novelty for ladies para
soils.
Lisle thread gloves without buttons, but
with long clocked wrists, are in great de-
mand.
Sleeveless jackets for ladies, made OF
cream-colored cashmere and solidIy en-
broidered in black aud gold, are the most
expensive aud elegant of late importa-
tiuns.
Jennie June writes that the reason Eng
lish women are never iashionaby dressed
Is because they wear out their dresses,
never changing them TO suit the fashion.
Since travelling cloaks and busters came
into general use there is less necessity for
a special suit for travelling.
An excellent novelty is shoe buttoner,
with long handle above the hook. so that
it is not necessary TO stoop down to but
ton the boot.
A novelty this season suitable for trav-
elling toilets, is the notwithstanding
English basque, with rever collar precise
ly like that OF a gentleman's coat.
The most stylish travelling cloaks are
long slender garments of sacque shape
reaching from the throat to the loot, and
afor ding ample protection for the dress.
The fronts are doube-breasted, with two
or three rows OF buttons, and there are
large, useful pockets.

TIE PENDING Split.

A Washington dispatch says "There
are daily growing indications that the
President is likely to encounter very
serious opposition to his Southern pol
icy from the extreme elements OF his
own party in the North. Already
the coming Congress casts its dark
shadow before it, and many are the
predictions of high party excitement
in Washington during the midsummer
days. The recent letter of Senator
Blaine is regarded as another notice
from him of stormy times to come in
Washington. His excited declaration
during the special session of the Sen
ate that he should never desert the
Southern Republicans is now recalled,
and II is believed that he will make an
open and of course vigorous fight
against the whole Southern business.
Ben Wade of Ohio, has also written
letter in which he is represented to
have arraigned President Hayes and
his policy with his quaint and vigor-
vu, bitterness Vi spcvvh. hurun l..
Townsend Of Troy, N. Y, is said also
to have prepared letter in opposition
to the Presidents policy.
The President is undlsturbed. lie
has been warned of the threatened op-
position, but maintains at all times his
remarkable equipoisc. He only says
that he is confident that his policy is
for the best interests OF the country,
and that he will abide by it, He will
have no CONTROVERSY with any one,
but will accord TO all members OF the
Republican party the right to approve
or disapprove of what he docs, and to
express their opinions on it freely.
Nothing will be permitted to swcrvc
him from his purpose
1t looks now as though all the old
Abolition leaders who failed to pick cup
a sword, or shoulder musket during
Seward "irrcprossiblc conflict" would
sail in for tho purpose of soaring MIR.

Southern Policy. They are towards

WAR IN EuRoPE.-1he last advices
from Europe are to the effect that o
war between Russia and Turkey, is at
hand, if not already begun. Diplomacy
has been busy for six months past for
the purpose of staying the calamity.
But it seems the more numerous the
diplomats became, when invited into
the councils of respective parties, the
more complicated matters became, un.
til finally all intercourse was broken
off between the belligercnts, and wal
seems to be inevitable between those
two powerful nations; and when il
does come, the Turk and the Russian
will make bloody war.

RETRENcHINo.-Thc following bit Of
information we find in all our Radical
exchanges 1t reads very nice;
Attorney General Devens has notified the U.
s. District Attorneys that the appropriation for
thedepartmentof Justice was insufficient to meet
the expenses, and urges the duty Of rctrench-
ing all possible expenses. To great extent the
Attorneys Of the United States are responsible
for expenses incurred, and naturally the call is
made upon them TO stop all expenses that eau
with prophety be stopped. There IL nearly a
full quarter Of the fiscal year still. TO run, during
which time the expenses must be kept to the
minimum point.
Now, it would seem from this as
though "civil service reform had set
in. The exchanges indicated tell their
readers but hdb the truth. The editors
should tell the ,chole truth as becomes
all christian teachers and let their
readers know that Democratic Con.
gress reduced the appropriation asked
for just thirty-three per cent. and as
another Democratic Congress is to fol
low, the slave hound, "as Phillips calls
the Attorney General, informs his sub.
ordinate, that they must practice econ
omy. The retrenching feature in the
Department OF Justice is forced by the
policy adopted by a Democratic Con
grcss. And that body and not the
Hayes Administration should be cred.
tied with this reform.

the policy Of tho Democratic party
which President Hayes has been
forced to adopt, because the majority
OF the American people demand it.
The majority of the American people
elected Mr. Tilden TO tho Presidency
because they meant this policy to be
adopted, Mr. Hayes has been thimblc.
