Now that Turkey is prominently be-
fore the reading world, the ordinary
reader may be confused by many names
that occur. tits usual to say Moham-
medism is the religion of the Turks !;
but more properly it is Islamism. This
word means obedience or submission to
the will OF God; and Mohammed taught
it and stands very much in the same
relation to it that Christ does to Chris
tianity. The Koran is the Mohammedan
or IsIamitic bible, and means very much
the same. Alkoran means The Book,
The Reading; while the word bible
means The Book, and Scriptures The
Writings. The Islamitic or Mohamme-
dan word for God is Allah, and means
The True God, The only God; and the
Islamitic formula of faith is: "There is
no God but Allah, and Mohammed is
his prophet,nn Evidently there is no
heathenism or panthsism in such doc
trine.
Turkey is the strongest nation whose
people generally profess Islamism or
Mohammedanism bat it is no more tie
head Of that religion than America or
England, is of Christianity or of Pro-
testantism.
These names are really not Turkish,
but Arabic; Islamism or Mohammedan-
ism originated and was established in
Arabia long before the Turks adopted
it. .
Moslem means believer in Moham-
mechanism. ...... -~
The Sublime Porte is the title of
the Turkish government, from the gate
(porte) of the Sultan's palace, where
Justice was administered.

Grow Your Own Meat.

Hogs pay well. They are especially
worthy OF attention from Southern
farmers. The crUwding OF many swine
together, as is usual among large swine
growers OF the West, may lead to
disease, as it has i'll many instances );
Uut it Is far different with those farmers
who aim to grow only their own meat,
with small quantity Ill excess. All
over the South hogs have lately been
raised, and the loss from disease has
been far less than i'll other sections.
Good attention will do much to ward
oft disease, while our more favored
climate. with the aid Uf ChGfa tubers,
sweet potatoes, clover pastures, etc,
will enable the Southern farmer to
grow his own meat at u very small ex-
penditure Of either capital or labor.
4 good COW, 1t Is estimated, will earn
about fifty dollars per aunqm clear of
all expense for Keeping; and a good
SOW, we'll fed, will produce about
forty dollars clear per amman where
the increase is sold off, or double that
amount where the pigs are fed aud
tattened for meat: and this can easily
be dong, and at very little expense,
where there are COWS, with skim milk
TO spare, There is very little food that
Is marketable that hogs eat III u twelve
month, aud yet many can be grown on
almost every farm, and without adding
anything to 1s::93 1ss:3 -rnnnlug expense ot tile
same. Let every Southern farmer re-
solve tU procure 1T least one good,
sound brood SOW, and to grow his own
bacon, and thus become perfectly i'll
the pork packing, tllchlna-
meat rings that every year make for
tunes by packing anu Specializing upon
tte inisEorfunesot .lmpruvldenee Of

Gov. Hampton of South Carolina, and
Gov. Nichols Of Louisiana, are con-
siderably alike, politically speaking.
These two States were the strongest
Republican ones in the South; the Dem
ocratic party, under IFS radical leaders,
was never able to win them. Under
such conservative leaders as Hampton
and Nichols, it did win thenn. They
are probably the two most iilustrious
Governors in the South, rendered such
by thefr connection with the Confeder-
ate army, their quiet course Of recon
ciliation since, and their recent utter
ances, and prominence as Governors OF
these two notorious States. We have
read nothing spoken or written by them
but what becomes gentleman, christian
and good citizen.
