Take Better Care Of Your Hogs.

There has been much said on this
subject, but as long as there are so
many who have not taken heed, we
have reason for saying more.
Let us consult the habits of swine in
making up our opinion about their
proper management. The hog is the
cleanliest domestic animal on the farm,
as regards his sleeping apartments. He
always selects a clean, dry place for
bed, and then keeps it so until it be-
comes foul by means over which he has
no control. He will even carry mouth
fuls of straw, leaves, etc, into his nest
to make it more comfortable, and if
there is no such material available,
rather than lie down in the mud he will
root down into the dry earth and throw
out place for bed. In his native
state the hog always looks after COM
Portable sleeping places.
In the face of these facts the hog is
always provided for last and most
meagerly on the farm. The horse is
provided for first, the COW next, and
the hog last. The horse best, the COW
next best, and the hog poorest. The
hog is least thought of, least cared for,
and is always turned out to make room
for other animals. The horse stable is
cleaned of filth and furnished with
fresh, clean litter daily, while the hog
sleeps in the same nest for months.
Hundreds of dollars are expended for
the comfort of cattle and horses, while
the unpitied hog, Lazarus like, stands
at the doors, and if he can steal in and
get comfortable nights lodging, all
right; if not, he can take the manure
pile, an old strawstack, or go and root
out a place in the ground.
Let the average farmer look around
him and see just how much partially
he shows among his hogs and horses.
Let him think how the hog would flour
ish if it received the same treatment
that is bestowed upon the horse. If
we subjected our horses, cattle and
sheep to the same treatment that we do
our hogs they would die off by the mill
ion. Indeed, we have learned that to

MARGARET PREsroN has = beort;f,

MARGARET PRESTON has a beautiful,
tender poem in Harper'S for May about
Petrarch and Laura. Petrarch; that
was the fellow who died of a broken
heart, for his love was another man S
wife. Broke his heart when he was
twenty-three, and died forty-seven years
afterward, at the ripe old age of seven
ty years. A tough old cartilage, this
masculine human heart, sisters; a man
will smash it all to pieces in poetry and
want to die in sonnets, and yet be as
careful of his health and live on as long
and persistently as though he was a
Justice of the Supreme Court and never
intended to die. We probably misjudge
Petrarch, but he always struck us as a
heart-broken' old fraud, with more
dyspepsia than heartache. Still we
may have felt little badly about it.
Margaret Preston has seen his picture
and she ought to know Hawk-Eye.

A Newspaper Wonder.

THE ADVOCATE, a Greenback Labor paper,
published in New York, has created marked
excitement among publishers. 1t was begun
in May, 1875, as a local paper at Spring Valley,
Rockland County, and on January LIST, 1877,
removed to New York. The first issue in that
year was 43S copies, using twenty-five pounds
of white paper, postage fifty cents, while the
issue of May 22d instant was $4,000, using
near nine tons of white paper and paying $500
postage. This has been done by a discreet but
bold method of advertising. The company
expect to reach circulation of 2000,O00 in
1850, and propose to expend 100000 in adver-
Using to secure that end. It, during the
months of June, July, August and September,
through its Advertising Agent, f. Duncan
Sniffen, 81 and 81 Aston House, n. Y, puts its
advertisement of one column into 3.400 papers,
including the city dailes. If business men
would take courage and show faith in printers
ink, much could be done to dissipate hard
times by reviving business.

4 is the general opinion here to day that the
President will not veto the silver bill. as the
majority In the Senate and the House s suffl-
dent s credited with sufficient respect for the
will OF the sovereign people as to not inter fere
with what Is now plainly their will expressed
through their Representatives. The silver ma
iority in the Senate turns out to be larger than
was calculated upon. and all hopes of defeating
the measure by a veto are abandoned. The
only. object that a veto could accomplish now
would be to spread the presidential objection
on record. But 1t is not probable that this will
be done. The President has observed the con
stantly augmented swell Of the popular silver
wave, and can only njure himself by opposing
it without being any service to the gold inter-
est, as atwo-thrds majority in both Senate and

The recent Illinois Supreme Coure decision
concerning the right of cities TO anticipate
taxes and issue bonds for loans thus credited
has seriously affected Chcago's indebted
ness to New York financial institutions. For
many years the American Exchange Bank
has been the fiscal agent of Chicago and
most of its loans have been negoaated there

city the payment of which is held in abeyance
by the recent decision is s4sOe0o most of
which ts due the American Exchange Bank.
This trouble in the financial affairs of Chieagoe
was brought about by a taxpayer who re-
fused to pay his tax assessment and he sued
out n mandamus to prevent the city authori-
ties from making any more loans. on the
ground that the new constitution prohibited the
anticl patton of more than5 per cent OF the taxes
which had been done. 1t is also stated that the
bonds issued for the last loan made In this city
