Shelter for Swine.

Pigs that always have been kept in
comfortable pens are very susceptible
Of cold, and any unusual exposure will
be likely to induce disease. We once
knew fine herd, that had been care
fully fitted for the autumn shows, almost
ruined by being turned out when the
fairs were over. and left to shift for
themselves without shelter of any kind.
A cold rainstorm coming on Dearly
every hog in the herd contracted Sc
we're cold; in many individuals this
terminated in rheumatism, while, in
others, chronic cough and gradual
decline, ending fatally, was the result.
1t was eminently proper to turn the
hogs out after the fair, but the neglect
to provide suitable shelter and pro-
lection from storms was q piece of
folly that merited the punishment which
the losses inflicted. While on the SUBJ
ject of shelter for swine, it is we'll to
call attention to the Importance of Sc
curing good ventilation in their Sleep
ing apartments. We have not the
slightest doubt that many cases of the
so-called hog cholera originate in blood
poisoning, the result of crowdlng large
numbers of swine together in close and
differentiated quarters. The atmos-
phere performs the same office for the
|. blood of swine that it does for human
beings; and the heart and lungs, the
veins and arteries, perform the same
office in each. Oxygen is inhaled, and
carbonic acid gas is given off; and with
out sufficient means for the admission
of fresh air, and for the escape of that
which has been vitiated by having been
once inhaled, disease is quickly engen-
dered. Pens may easily be so con-
structed that, while they are warm and
comfortable, and form ample protection
from chilling winds, the ventilation will
also be thorough Live Stock Journal.

AGRICULTURE.

u AN Eastern farmer recently saw two
men attempting to drive hog by his
house, but the animal was 50 obstinate
that they finally told the, farmer that,
if he would kill it for them, they would
give him half of the meat. He accept
ed the offer with alacrity and not only
killed the hog but dressed it, after which
the strangers drove away with their
half. When, however, he went at night
to feed his hog he found that he had
killed his own property, receiving half
Of it for his trouble.
PROF. STEWART lately informed the
American Dairymen's Association that
he once tried an experiment with ten
COWS, giving each three quarts of corn
meal day, fed alone. This was con-
tinued month. Then three quarts
mixed with a peck OF cut and moisten-
ed hay were fed to each cow. By
weighing, the result showed gain of 25
per cent in favor of mixing the meal
and cut hay. If the meal is fed alone,
it is better to feed it dry, as this favors
digestion.
The destruction of crops by squirrels
is not confined to California;, The loss
OF corn in Overton county, Tenn, from
this cause last season was estimated at
tenth of the crop. One farmer re-
ported that they were swimming
across the Cumberland by thousands"
The equilibrium between these lower
links in the chain of animal life is Sc
riously disturbed by mans arbitrary
interference with the natural course of
production: and he must pay the penal
ty or modify if he can.

Albany Law Journal.
One Of the most interesting chapters in
this biography [of Justice Curtisl is de.
voted to an inside history Of the so;called
decision" which the biographer regards
as the precipitating cause Of our civil war.
The original opinion in the bred Scott
case was prepared by Judge Nelson, and
II this opinion had stood as that Of the
majority for which 1t was written, 1t would
have called for no expression OF judicial
views on the constitutionality OF the Mis-.
souri, Compromise act. But after this
opinion was written, motion was made
in conference OF the court for re-
argument Of the case at the next
term. This motion prevailed. Judge
Nelson's opinion was set aside, and
two questions were framed by the
chief justice to be argued de Roro at the bar.
These questions involved the facts set
up in the plea to the Jurisdiction, and the
power OF the court to take notice of and
determine the citizenship OF the plaintiff
on those facts, after that plea had been
overruled by the Circuit Court, and the
defendant had been ordered TO plead 10
the merits. II the facts could be noticed,
and amounted To proof in law that Scott
was not citizen, the court had no juris.
diction. II on the facts Scott should be
held to be citizen, then the merits could
be gone into and the validity OF the Mis-.
souri, Compromise restriction became a
question before the court. On this basis
the case was reargued. 1t was held that
Scott was not citizen, but the court not.

Springfield Republican.
Thesspeculation in wheat during the
last three months has been unexplained.
Chicago has gone wild over it, and if the
local papers are to be trusted, all classes Of
the community have tried their luck at
gambling in fsod. The basis OF all their
transactions has been the firm belief that
the demand from Europe would be at least
1000 5000 bushels, while the supply from
this country could not exceed 16O,0OO,0OO.
There is no reason to suppose that the
supply has been greatly over.estimat-
ed, but it begins to look as II the demand
had. A dispatch from England Saturday,
says that the final returns from The
English harvest show deficiency Of OS,-
900, 900 bushels, or from S0,0O0,0OO to
25, 000,0 900 less than has been currently
expected in this country. The lacking
harvest in France is definitely placed at
Oh, 000, 900 bushels, earlier estimates having
varied from 100000 to 100000, GOO.
There is every reason to believe that other
European countries will show falling al
in their demand in like proportion, but
should England and France alone REQUIRE
anything like fourth less American erain
than was expected earlier in the season,
the bottom will be promptly knocked out
Of the current speculation in wheat.
A reaction was already apparent at the
close Of last week, and, while 1t still re-
mains altogether probable that there will
be foreign demand for every bushel Of
wheat not needed for home consumption.
there Is no reason to believe that wheat
can be kept at the price to which Il has
been forced. In eight weeks wheat has
been advanced from 81 Is TO 81 81 a bushel.
and the rise had already lessened Me-
weekly exports when the price began 10
fall. About one fourth OF the advance
can be laid TO increased freight rates be.
tween New York and Chicago; the rest Is
largely speculative. On the New York
Produce Exchange alone the "lm.
agtnary sales" Of wheat, transac.
tons in which neither buyer nor seller
owned bushel OF the wheat In which
they were dealing, have aggregated each
week four or FIVE times as many bushels
as there was wheat for sale in the CITY. A
sharp fall and general disaster TO these
speculadons will be to the public profit,
1t may not come at once, but the chances
now favor Q break and the read justment OF
prices to Q tatrer level. The unexpected
increase in the crops Of France and Eng.
land appear to be due 10 favorable autumn
weather. The same cause has given the
wheat crop in both countries favorable
start for next year, and q good crop,
the first in England for six years, Il
not improbable, Not unnaturally, the
profits from wheat this year are
stimulating its production in the West.

To speak, without using them is like
lifting heavy weight from an un-
naural position. Strength is wasted.
Thousands are constantly wasting
physical force in speech, which might
be saved if the proper organs were
brought into play. No language can
express our convictions of the I'M
portance of this item.
9Th, Constant and regular practice.
Here lies most important point in
which most public speakers are at
fault, ministers on the Sabbath,
lawyers at court-time, and politicians
during a campaign, task their pow
ers of voice severely. If in the in
walls the voice is not trained and dis
ciplined, what right has it's owner to
expect its best performances without
harm and damage? Those who con-
tend for the honors of the race
course and prize-ring do not perpe-
trate this folly, nor do wise teach
ers in any department of life. A
friend once had q badly sprained
ANGLE which prevented the use of the
leg for nearly two years, a very pre-
sentable calf at the beginning
dwindled away to mere spindle
shanks, by simple non-use. The
muscles all wasted awaw. What
marvel then if the voice should be
full of weaknesses and breaks, un-
less it be reasonably exercised and
kept in training? Besides these phys
biological facts there is an eslhetic
branch of this question, in which
the imagination, taste, sensibilities
and mimetic powers are largely con-
cerned. W. Il.
