Raising Pigs.
National Live Stock Journal

National Live Stock Journal.l
The most important thing for the
swine breeder at this season Of the year
is to get the greatest possible growth
from his spring pigs. There is no period
in the life of a hog when so great y re-
turn for the food consumed ID possible
as during the first ak m"'t' ;,
- advantages of skillful
feeding are apparent. Unless great care
be taken, the growth of the pig will be
seriously checked when it is from three
to five weeks old. The milk of the dam,
which was anple to promote a rapid
growth in the litter of pigs during the
first two or three weeks, is not sufficient
to answer the demands of the same lit
ter as they grow older, hence the pigs
should early be taught TO look elsewhere
for part OF their sustenance. This is
an easy matter; a little milk or nutri-
tious food of any kind, in liquid form,
placed conveniently BY, where the pigs
St. Landry democrat., 1879-06-28

can have access to it at all times, but
beyond the reach Of the SOW, will soon
do the work ; and it should be replenish-
ed frequently through the day. If this is
attended to, there will beno " stunning
of the pigs at this critical period, an
their growth will be uniform and rapid.
A good clover pasture is valuable add
junct, and helps wonderfully. The true
secret of successful pork making is to
push the pig from the date of birth until
it is big enough for the market and
the earlier the age at which this point
can be reached, the greater is the return
for the food consumed.
\ slop, made Of corn and oats, ground
in about equal parts, with IA little oil
meal added, makes the best food for the
SOW while sucking, to increase the flow
of milk and this, with clover pasture
and plenty OF soaked corl. during the
summer, will promote q rapid and
healthy growth of the pigs

One of the chief products of mans

the same time. But he has this falling
he never knows when to stop cutting
his corn. When he sits down of all
evening to pare it, he cannot resiss the
temptation to take off one more slice,
and he higgles away until the mischief
is done. The tiual stroke is generally q
master one. He hacks off a piece as
big as biscuit, cuts his toe Oft, and
starts the blood. Then he yells, Dad
burn the luck !" filings the razor across
the room, tells his wife she will be the
death of him some day with her con-
founded carelessness and hobbies off
to bed, leaving his astonished wife to
wonder what in creation she had to do
with the mattel. When man is dis
covered reading his newspaper. in the
barn, it is safe to conclude that the
carpet-pounder and the Whitewasher are
abroad in the house. And when you
see him carrying home a basket of
champagne, accompanied by a half
dozen jovial friends you know his wife
is visiting her relations, and that he is
making the best of his time, while she
is absent. Man is smart enough to in
vent almost anything, from a, jumping
jack to a telephone he can dodge his
creditors, hoodwink the public and
make his wife think he is attending a
course of temperance lectures !; but
when the time comes for him to leave
this vale Of tears, he knows he has got
to throw off his winter clothing and 60.
When death has business with man,
it generally finds him at home. With

Of self-sacrltlce, with the heroes OF the
Lost Cause ? Will it make us wiser and
our daughters more modest and virtuous
than those Southern women, who with
ont advanced views upon the subject of
female suffrage, We're yet in themselves
the exponents OF all that is purcst and
most beautiful in woman's life.
We do not need the ballot in Louisiana
to protect any Of our just rights and
privileges. Every Southern woman has
a protector and champion i'll every
Southern man. We have trusted them
Il long time, can we not trust them still
longer, to make our lives as peaceful
and happy as they have been i'll the past?
Must it be by our own action that we
turn from the tried peace and protection
OF a quiet life, to the stormy surges Of a
political sea for whose skillful navigation
we have neither taste nor adaptation ?
Against the shrill outcry for Woman's
! rights, and the pernicious free love
doctrines, which seemed their outcome,
against all restless seeking for " rights"
where right does not exist, the Louis
lana woman has hitherto closed her
ears. She could see no better and more
useful life than the one she led. She
held the old fashioned belief that God
in making her child bearer aud child
rearer Lad given her glorious destiny.
| She understood that in the government
of the world there must be division of
labor and she was perfectly satisfied
with her own pportionment, for II she
was not warrior or statesman herself,
she reared and influenced those who
were. She saw plainly how her do
mestc duties cont1icted with the politi-
cal life into which men throw themsel-
YES with such zcst and these duties were
to her higher and more important than
a voice in public affairs. The restric-
ton of franchise has not hitherto been
detrimental to her. Will her nature,
her aims, her general well-being be
elevated and enlarged by the freedom
of the ballot box.
| take no sentimental view of this
subject, on the contrary | leave the
sentimentality to the advocates of the
measure. 1t is for them to trace out
the wonderful Utopia of what they call
woman's freedom. Like the Utopia of
old it is bora Of impossible conditions
send sustained by unnatural laws. 1t is
freedom TO embrace q npStioDahin good
and eschew all old tried truths and
restraints.
As woman whose work lies outside
the bounds of domestic life, have had
ample opportunity to give the subject Of
woman's suffrage" my closest atten-
ton, and to view it in its every phase
for good or evil. | feel that in this
protest against it, am supporting the
closest ana dearest Interests OF my Lou
isiana sisters, whatever scorn such opin~
ions may draw upon my head from the
advocates of female suffrage. IF I
knew I was to fight this battle single
handed, / would still take pride in re-
cording my name in this protest, as a
Southern woman, strong in q cOnvic
ton that the position Sue has taken is not
only in harmony with natural laws and
revealed religion, but that any act which
takds a woman out Of a useful and legiti-
mate sphere is iniIlical to both and
destructive to her own interests.

The Elective Franchise for
Women.

Two or three ladies who brought the
veXed question of woman's suffrage
before the convention III New Orleans,
claim to represent the women of Lou
isiana, in their demand for the elective
franchise. From my knowledge Of the
opinions of my countryWomen, on that
subject, in various parts of the State, |
consider the assumption of these ladies,
as representatives. Of popular opinion,
wholly unwarranted. The problem of
woman's suffrage which the North
has hitherto skillfully eyaded, cannot
be shifted to the Southern States with
any prospect OF q successful solution.
The constitution of society here, the
mixed nature Of the population, and a
special tone Of thought, and habit, in
the cultivated classes are decidedly op-
posed to it.
At first view, the grievance contained
in Mrs. Sarah Dorsey's letter to the
convention, where large land owner,
and taxpayer herself, she was denied
the freedom of the franchise conferred
on her colored male lessees, may seem
an evil which calls for redress. In the
first place hers is an exceptional case
in the second. her single yre, if she
had it, would in all probability be nulli-
fled by the action Of her female lessees.
No good TO the State generally or to her
self individually, could accrue from her
vote at the polls.
II y not my intention to 90 over the
old ground Of argument in favor of, or
against the elective franchise for women.
lp the words Of La Rrnyere-toat est
dit-on that subject. We are all Of us
familiar with every point of vantage in
this long skirmish. Gu the one side
we are made tn 4.
.iear the rattle of the
Woman's chains, and her shrill cries
from the house of bondage on the
other, masculine sneers against her in-
competency and general inferiority.
Ihere ls middle and more reasonable
ground, whence we can see the benefit
woman may derive from some changes
IN existing laws, but do not believe that

On Sunday night the 22d inst, the
store and dwelling house Of Mr.. Law
renee Carriere, situated on Bayou Ttche
in this parish, was totally destroyed by
fire. Mr.. Carriere was in New Orleans
at the time and his family came very
near being burned in their beds, barely
escaping in their night clothing. A
negro man, whose name we have not
been able to learn, lost his life in the
burning building, in his heroic attempt
to save the books and papers belonging
to the store. No one can form any idea
as to the origin of the fire, whether
accidental or the work Of an incendiary.
