There has been a great deal of

A Wee Baby.

There is a six months old baby
on the east prong of Sycamore
creek in Davidson county, Tenn,
thus described by a correspondent
of the Banner:
"This little mite the father brought
to me a few days ago to see and tell
him what l thought about it. 1t is
the most extraordinary specimen l
have ever seen. 1t is six months
old and the smallest little face, lit
tie pinched features, face something
like ones two thumbs, small eyes
well set by little nose rather in
clined to be prominent, its little
hands and arms so small, arm,
something like a finger, and in
clined to be skinny. 1t was nicely
dressed and scrupulously clean, and
at full length l suppose would meas
ure twelve to fourteen inches. 1t
had on a nice flannel underskirt and
nice white dress with white quilted
bonnet. l laid babe, rig, and all
upon a small counter scale and the
whole weighed 81 pounds scant.
The mother, l am told, is a stout,
healthy lady, and the father rather
frail looking, but stout enough to
make a plentiful support from the
cultivation of his valley upon the
margin of Sycamore creek"

Newspaper Business.

An exchange says; We suppose
many people think that the newspa-
per men are persistent duns; let a
farmer place himself IN similar
position and see If he would not do
the same. Suppose he raised one
thousand bushels of wheat, and his
neighbor chould come and buy
bushel, and the price was a small
matter Of only two dollars or less.
and the neighbor says, 81 will hand
you the amount in n few days" As
the farmer did not want TO be small
about the matter, he says, "All
right" and the man leaves with the
wheat. Another comes in the same
way until the whole one thousand
bushels of wheat are trusted out TO
one thousand different persons, and
not one of the purchasers concerns
himself about IL, for IL is small
amount he owes the farmor, and Of
course that would not help him any
He does not reallize that the farmer
has frittered away all his large crop
of wheat and that its value Is duo
him in a thousand little driblets,
and that he is especially embar-
rassed because his debtors treat IL
as n small matter. But if all would
pay him promptly, which they
could do as well as not it would bo
a very large amount 10 the farmer.
and enable him TO carry ON his bus
mess without difficulty. The above
comparison is too true Of the dill
culties that the newspaper man has
to contend with.

Interest is the worm that gnaws
increasingly into the vitals of in
dustry. 1t outnumbers the grass
hoppers on the plains. 1t con-
sumes seven eighths of the prod
ucts of busy hands. 1t brings ruin
upon thousands of enterprises
every year. Nearly every dollar in
circulation is drawing interest from
somebody, and the little that does
not is being Withdrawn by evil-do-
ers to give place to that which will.
The largest proportion of titled
lands are infested with interest.
Towns, cities, counties, states, and
even the nation are all drained by
interest. The great mass of busy
people, and all the homes that are
mortgaged, are victims of this insa
table worm-interest! 1t is the
greatest curse entailed upon labor
in our age and civilization. To
get rid of it should exercise the
best energies of every patriot to his
country. The vicious schemes
through which it fastens itself upon
all public enterprises should be OPP
posed. Our industries are nearly
strangled, millions of our country
men are impoverished and depend
ent, and our very national existence
is endangered by this curse of
course-this scourge of the land
interest. Keep yourself ever free
from its prangs, if you would en-
joy the products of your own labor
and enterprise.

Salt.

Salt is essential TO the health Of
almost all warm blooded animals,
and especially to such as feed on
vegetable substances exclusively.
Animals that live on flesh alone do
not need salt, because they get the
saline matter contained in the flesh
they eat; but others, as the horse,
cow, sheep, and hog do, and il must
be supplied to them, or they suffer
in consequence.
These animals should have sup
ply within reach at all times, that
they may partake Of it at will. If
they do not have it, digestion is in
terrupted, and the animals suffer.
We have no doubt that many of the
ills that aGlict swine have their ori-
gin partially, if not wholly, in the
lack of salt. Farmers, as a rule, do
not salt hogs, and it is well known
that no stock upon the farm is Of
tener sick than the hog. Hogs
ought TO have a cooked mess with
plenty of salt in it at least once a
week the year round. We doubt
not they would be healthier, and
make better bacon, by this simple
and inexpensive attention.
The blood Of animals is found 70
contain salt, and it is continually
thrown out through the kidneys
and the pores of the skin. The
bile contains soda, one Of the con-
stituents of salt. So, it will be seen
salt is necessary to the animal sys-
TEN. Do not forget this fact, but
see that your stock have as much
of il as they need.
