Mr.. Joseph Sullivan concludes an able
article on hog feeding and pork packing
in these words: at | have proved any
thing it is that it is comparatively easy
to get fifty per cent. more for corn than
We do for ali the millions of bushels fed
20 hogs in the process OF pork making,
Sustaining in this industry alone a loss
of millions Of dollars annually, the que5
ton of how much pork there is in a
bushel of corn is not an insignificant one.
His experiments lead to the conclusion
that feeding the most thrifty hogs raw
corn in the ear nine pounds may be got
from a bushel. Twelve pounds from raw
meal soaked and sixteen and a halt
hounds from a bushel OF meal well
cooked in mush. In this case we
suppose no toll is taken from the corn
for grinding, so that the hog gets fifty
six pounds of meat for a bushel.
These results correspond closely with
those obtained BY Commits, ioner Els,
worth some thirty years ago. But The
average farmer hardly gets nine pounds
of hog meat from a bushel OF corn ted
iusthe common way. Hence we are JUS
tilted in believing that every acre of corn
turnedIinto meat produces only halt what
it ought to yield on an average. Is there
anv way by which a farmer of good
sense can lift himself out of a habit in
feeding swine which IS so wasteful and
costly? Why not try to make every eal
of corn Weld the maximum of the most
saleable meat? TO do this 1t may BIZ

General Garfield.

Better things are said of General
Garfield by the better classes of his
countrymen to-day, than of any
other public man. He is fairly del
uged with praise he deserves. He
has both the courage of his convic-
tions, and the capacity to express
them in the most terse and tren-
chant manner. His convictions
come not only from an honest
heart, but also from profound and
exhaustive study of the problems
with which he has to deal. Alone
of the Ohio delegation, he has
treated the wave of financial de-
lusion that has swept over this
State. A clear and ready debater,
equipped with the facts which ex-
perience has developed for his
guidance, he has stood upon the
floor of the House, a match for
any man or any ten men on the
other side. One of his latest OK
ploits was recorded but day or two
since, when he admonished Mr..
Kelly upon his arguments and
showed from the records, the gla-
ring Inconsistencies of that champ
ion OF soft money. Gen. Garfield
needs to make no moro speeches
to make him famous, but he NAV
be quite sure that his brave and
consistent course is constantly ap-
preclating him in the esteem of
his countrymen-an esteem that is
certain to demonstrate itself en-
phaticaIly when the financial here
sizes Of the hour shall have passed
away, and he shall be seen by the
many, as he is now seen by the few,
the statesman and patriot that he is.

TRUE PoETRY.-Poetry, were it the
rudest, so it be sincere, is the attempt
which man makes to render his exist
ence harmonious, the utmost he can dc
for that end: it springs, therefore, from
his whole feelings, opinions, activity, and
takes its character from these. 1t may
be called the music of his whole manner
of being, and, historically considered, is
the best test of how far music or free
dom existed therein; how far the feeling
of love, of beauty, and dignity could be
elected from that peculiar situation of
his. and from the views he there had of
life and nature, and of the universe, in
ternal and external.

CARLYLE's LITERARY HABITs.-Thomas
Carlyle works but two hours a day.
What he accomplishes in this brief time
will live. Few authors who have
achieved Immortality have written rap
idly. Sir Walter Scott and Byron are
among the exceptions. A great majority
have been as painstaking IS Montesquieu,
who wrote to a correspondent: "You will
read my book in few hours, but its
composition has turned my hair white"
Carlyle is among the number of literary
men who has plodded through long
literary life, but the plodder has left his
impress upon the age in which ne lives,
and 1t will continue to exist so long as
our language endures.
