Treatment Of Pigs.

The Commissioner of Agriculture
Of the State Of Georgia, in a manual
on the hog says among other excellent
things:
Success IN raising hogs depends in
great measure upon the attention
given pigs for the first few months OF
their existence, and il the proper at
teniion is given them it may be stated
as maxim that "increase Of pigs is in
crease of pork The future useful
ness of every animal, man included,
depends, in an eminent degree, upon
the treatment received while young,
aud in none more than the pig. Pigs
that are allowed to become poor or
diseased seldom SO entirely recover as
to attain equal Development with
those that receive no check to growth
or health during the formative period.
Ii is. therefore, OF prime importance
to keep pigs, from their birth, in
thriving, healthy condition. AS soon
as lueE Can bo IbtuttN W Cat, ticF
should be provided with a shallow
trough in the sow's pen, but inacces-
sible to her, to which they can resort
at pleasure. Commence by giving
them small quantity of milk, several
times day, being careful to feed at
regular hours. so that they will expect
it at those hoursf and sleep quietly
during the intervals. Increase the
quantity, and give little grain as
they grow older, being careful to clean
out the trough each time before feed
ing. If the pigs have been well fed,
and the SOW is much reduced, they
may be weaned at six weeks old; but
If the SOW is still in good condition
and strong enough to bear the drain
upon her constitution, they may re-
main with her ten or twelve weeks, il
there is time enough to prepare for
the noxt litter. When only few
weeks old the boar pigs should be al
tered and marked and the sows spayed
two weeks before they are weaned,
that they may have the mothers milk
until recovered from its effects. If The
pigs are castra ted at this tender age,
there is less risk, on account of the
greater ease with which they can be
held in the proper position, and the
small development Of the parts. If al
lowed to run three or four months, as
is too often the case, the parts become
more sensitive, and hemorrhage, swell
ling and stiftening of the parts are apt
to follow. Whe the pigs are operated
upon the sow should be removed to a
sufficient distance from the pen not to
be excited by the cries of her young,
since there viii be risk of her eating
her pigs if she smells blood upon them
when she is excited"

TAX at the Council Meeting.

AT the council meeting last evening,
Capt. T. J. Buford was present and
called the council to task for not enforcing
an order already made for the construc-
ton of at least one slaice way through the
railroad embankment between the water
works and the st. Louis depot. The
mayor said that he would stir up" the
managers of the road, and the matter
would be attended at once.
After the regular monthly business OF
reading petitions, bills, hearing reports
from committees, ETC., the clerk read the
veto of the mayor of the funding ordinance
of the floating debt adopted at the last
meeting. 1t will be found in the clerk s
minutes.
On motion of Alderman Lundy the ordi-
nance was reconsidered,
Aldermen Huber and Wollenhaupt sug
gested that the matter be continued until
the new council came in, and the latter
made motion that the matter be laid on
the table.
Aid. Lundy objected to this aud stated
that he had talked with prominent finan
cial men in this city who gave as theil
opinion that the bonds proposed could bt
negotiated at par; that the ordinances o.
the city prohibited the paying of more in
terest than one-half of the tax levy of tn
previous year,-and otherwise took tn
same ground that he has previously ad
vocated,
Alderman MOseufelder objected to tn
issuing Of any bonds whatever, but advo
Gated the appropriation of $1,000 annuall
and pay that amount of the floating deb

he wanted domestic bonds.
A spirited discussion then ensued be
tween Aldermen Lundy and Carse, th
: former advocating the issuing of domesti
bonds while the latter opposed it-eac
having figured out that his policy was fc
the best interest of the city.
A vote was then taken on the motion, s
will be seen by the clerks minutes.
Alderman Lundy then presented anotl
c er ordinance, the only difference betwee
the new one and the one laid on the tab
e being that each bond be in the sum {
: 5000; that the coupon be receivable 81

While hundreds Of cases of disease ex-
list in this city, caused by impure water.
and an epidemic pestilence is breeding
here, the water works committee are con-
irving to whitewash the unclean thing,
Alderman Carse said to us that it would
injure the city to have it known that the
water was impure, We replied that the
health of the people was of the first i'm
portanCe, and it was the first duty Of the
mayor and aldermen to look after that.
