Hogs.


The older naturalists told us that all the
hogs OF this world were the de scendants of a
common ancestry, the !Sus Gper, or wild boar,
still 10 be found IN the mountains and forests
of the old world. Nathusius, a recent writer,
undertakes to prove that there has been an
extinct species, designated as the Sus IHdicgS,
and that the hogs OF China and Siam are The
descendants of this species.
This question, however interesting to the
naturalist and the scientific world, has no
further interest TO the swine-gTower and feed
er than the fact that the infusion of this
blood into the various breeds of Europe has
given them a disposition To lay on fat, that
they did not aud could not possess before

Gated Animals OF the British Isiand>'-and

most credit for improving the breeds of Eng
lish swine; and all modern black and spotted
hogs are cOlOred by the Siamese. The white
hog of China also has been largely useful in
giving fattening qualities to a great nun Der
Of English breeds, and all white hogs at this
day are more or less OF this blood. These two
races, the wild hog and the hog of China and

The ason for sowing roots lasts from May
u September, and during the four months
intervening variety OF crops may be sown.
The first in the season are mangels, of which
there are several varieties. The smaller
kinds of tn use, although they do not yield SO
heavy crop as the larger kinds, are more de-
sirabIe on account of their higher feeding
value. Several yellow-fleshed variety OF
mangels have been introduced of late which
are very promising for our climate. Webb's
Yellow Kinver Globe, and the Yellow flesh
cd Tankard are the most popular variety OF
these. The flesh OF these is less watery and
more solid than that OF the Mammoth
Red. Sugar beets furnish the second crop,
aud may be sown late as June, OF
these, Lanes Improved; and Nimorin's Inn
proved Sugar, are the leading varieties. Red
or blood beeIs may also be sown IN June, and
furnish an excellent food for mich cows, as
their high color TO the cream and butter.
Carrots and parSnips will be rarely grown,
on account of the expense OF harvesting
them, while beetS, sugar beeis, mangels, and
other shallow rooted bulbs, can he grown
with less labor and greater profit. After
beets, ruta -bagas may be Sown in June and
early in July, and in August white turnips
may follow. With SO large a choice of roots,
there is no reason why press of work should
come in the way OF growing this valuable
crop When roots have once been grown
successfully, there is no reed for advice to
raise them. but only to mention the newer or
improved varieties. Where as yet they have
not been grown, a trial of an acre or less
and will serve TO establish the practice for
the future.

mittee of the Senate, appointed to invesli-
gate all matters relating to the Freedmen 5

ing suggestions Il, TO the course that should
b. pursued in the future. They said, with
reference to the two principal Items In the
assets, VIZ: real estate and notes, that the
latter We're in at the price OF collection;
but as to the real estate, they doubted
whether it would be possible TO realize up
on 1t at present without suffering heavy
loss. They stated that dividend OF 80
per cent. had already been paid, and that
they hoped before long to be able to pay
another dividend Of 20 per cent, making %
per cent 10 all. They urged that as a
measure OF enabling them to do this, the
government purchase the FreedEsns bank
building in Washington, the greater part OF
which is now rented for the use OF the De-
partment of Justice.
Two drafts of bills were submitted by the
commissioners, designed to transfer the al
fairs OF the company to the Comptroller OF
Currency, or such Other officer OF the gov
.rnment a. Congress might direct. The
commissioners have heretofore asked to be
relieved from the duties imposed, and on
these bills to-day reiterate that
REQUEST.
