now TO PREVENT HOGS
BECOMING DISEASED.

The causes Of diseases among swine
and the best remedies, are unsolved
problems in the estimation even of
multitudes who have bred hogs for a
quarter OF century. But y majorl-
ty of our people will continue to try
experiments. Nearly every man OF
large experiments in fattsnlng this
class of stock, who has not favorlte
medicine of his own, will try every
remedy proposed by any man profess
ing to be a veterinary surgeon. This
is not surprising, when We read in
many Of our papers that during 1872
% per cent. Of the hog crop Of that
year was lost by hog cholera.
So far as we can learn by careful
inquiry, there is, at present, but little
Of this disease prevailing. Will the
readers, therefore, allow us to give all
who either rear or fatten swine lit,
tie simple advice? 1t may not do
them or thei. animals much good,
but it will do them no harm, and it
may be of great value to their young
stock. At all events, the trial will
not be expensive. AS postulate, we
affirm the tIite old aphorism. An
ounce Of preventive is better than a
pound of cure
Keep your hogs in good, clean
fields give them access to pure water
even though you should be compelled
to dig deep we'll for that purpose
good pump and suitable troughs,
cleansed every week, will cost but
little and will always prove a yalna-
bic outlay. Provide, also, in the dry
est part of the field good shelter,
both from sun and rain. A few rails
properly arranged two or three feet
from the ground covered with a stack
of straw, or coarse, prairie grass, will
be an attractive place for the entire
droye.
In troughs near by their resting
place, two or three times each week,
place composition Of soft soda, red
pepper and ginger. To four parts OF
the first two articles, add one part OF
the latter. Our common red peppers
will do very well; they should, how
ever be well pulverized and all the
ingredients thoroughly mixed. Most
healthy animals will readily deyour
salt. To obtain it they will also take
the alkali and the stimulant. The
compound will not injure bird, beast,
fish or man. 1t is not offered as pat
ent remedy, but simply as proven
tative Of the injurious effects Of the
foul gases and the pestiverous filth
in which hogs have been allowed
Continue their usual summer feed,
whether clover, bran, meal or corn.

BEST PROTECTION AGAINST RUST.
For farm implements Of all kinds
having metal surfaces exposed, for
knives and forks, and other household
apparatus, indeed for all metals likely
to be injured by oxidation or ruating
we know Of no simpler, more effective
application than that furnished by the
late Prof. Olmstead. He used it on
air pumps, telescopes and various
other apparatus. Take any quantity
of good lard, and to every half pound
or so, add of common rosin an amount
equal to half the size Of an egg or less;
a little more or less is Of no conse-
quence. Melt them slowly together,
stirring as they cool. Apply this with
a cloth or otherwise, just enough to
give thin coating to the metal sur
face to be protected. 1t can be wiped
off nearly clean from surfaces where
it will be undesirable as in the case of
knives and forks, &c. The rosin pre-
vents rancidity, and the mixture ex-
cludes the ready access of air and
moisture. A fresh application may
be needed when the coating is washed
off by the friction of beating storms
or otherwise. This simple receipt will
be worth many thousand dollars to
any one in the long run.

Thrilling Story ola Shipwreck.

Baltimore, Jan. 31.-A terrible
story of shipwreck and death came
from Smiths Island in the Chesapeake
Bay, about ninety-fve miles from
Baltimore, bywhich ten men lost their
lives. The schooner Adamautine. be-
longing to Thos. Moore, has been mis-
sing, with her entire crew Capt.
Horace D. Baker and eight mem,
since January 2, at which time she
was seen off Point Lookout, trying to
beat into a harbor. The body of a
man was also reported dashed to a spar
on Smiths Island about a week after,
and was supposed to be that of Capt.
Baker. The owner Of the vessel, Mr..
Moore; made every effort to find out
her fate, and to-day received informal
ton that she had sunk IN Hedges
Straits, near Smiths Island.
The story is a thrilling one. Thurs
day the Cd, viii be remem bered as a
day of intense cold. Late in the day
the residents Of Smiths Island saw the
masts OF a vessel alb Oye the water off
shore. In the topmast could be seen
the form Of man making signals to
those on shore by shaking the sail. On
account Of the violence Of the gale it
was impossible to render him assis-
taDce, aud night soon obecured him
from sight. Next day he was still in
the topmast and making signals, but
without avail, as no one would venture
out. Saturday and Sunday the same
condition Of affairs continued, the eff
forts to attract attention growing faint
er each day. On Monday they ceased,
and soon after the sea wen5 down,
enabling those on shore to reach the
vessels masts.
The man in the top was dead, lash
ed to the mast. The hull Of the yes
sci was under water, and on her deck,
lashed down with ropes, were seen
through the clear water the bodies of
nine men. The corpse bound on the
mast, who, it is now thought, was
Captain Baker, was taken down
and buried on the shore. Near the
sunken schooner was the wreck Of the
steamer Express, which told the cause
Of the unfortunate affair.
The Adamantine had been caught
in furious gale and driven headlong
before it. Unable to save themselves
the crew had dashed themselves to
each convenient object, Captain Baker
taking TO the topmast. IN this helpless
condition the ssel had RUIZ on the
wreck Of the Inflated Express, and
gone down with her human load of
freight. The schooner was so badly
broken by the ice and the collision, that
no effort viii be made to raise her.
The mines Of the eight men in the
crew are unknown, thoagh the ninth
body is known to be that Of hand on
the schooner Merchant, who being
sick, had been placed on board the
Adamantine to be brought to Balti-
more.

her own bonds signed by her alone.
The Governor states on page -:
''The question as to the lien of the
bondholders is now pending in the
courts" This is untrue, no such suit
had ever been brought, but the labor
ed argument in the Message to set
foreign bondholders on Tennessee rail
roads, succeeded in having them to in
stitute proceedings against all the
roads in Tennessee.
Again:
The Governor was careful to inform
the Nashville American that he only
intended to attack the Radical Legis-
latures during and since the war.
But the settlements Of Railroads with
the State in which they paid the State
in her own bonds was chiefly made
during Governor Browns and Cover
nor Porter's administrations,
Suppose the foreign bondholders
whom he has set on the Tennessee
railroads succeed in bankrupting the
roads in Tennessee, how VIII he avoid
the receipts given by the State during
Browns and Porter's administrations,
what plea can the State urge against
the claim that she must refund tht
SO, 100000, which she has rcceipteC
for?
The State under Browns and Porter
administrations claimed that the Statc
alone had a lien on the railroads anC
by Receivers and force laws compelled
them to pay the State $4,000, 600
and now Governor Marks instigate
the bondholders to make the railroads
pay the debt to them over again. Thi
kind of dealing may be popular in tn
estimation of the Governor, but W,
believe that when the people under
stand the question they will not b
slow in rebuking His Excellency 70
his false teachings and unwise recon
mendations. Tennessee is not read
tie be can onized in history as the en-
bodiment of duplicity in her bushes
affairs and as counting Reputation a
a convenient refuge in an hour of pc
cuniary embarrassment.

The Governor signed the follow ng
bills and resolutions:
Bill to repeal the charter of Mem
phis and remand it 70 the territory Of

1t is stated that a letter has been
addressed to Gov. Marks by Eugene
Kellogg Chairman of the Tennessee
Bondholder's Committee atNew York,
informing him that the suits instituted
in the name of the bondholders against
the Tennessee railroads to test the
question of the priority Of the lien Of
the bonds issued in aid of their CON
struction, was without the knowledge
or consent of the committee, who con-
tinue to hope that a settlement with
the State is practicable, and that the
compromise proposed by the commit
tee may be favorably acted upon by
the present Legislature. He adds
that the settlement Of the debt is OF
vital Importance alike to the debtors
and creditors.

The Governor suggests that there is
doubt about the validity of State bonds
issued since the war, and, instead Of
recommending payment of interest on
the debt he admits is genuine, he recon-
Inends that payment on no part Of the
debt be renelced until there shall have
been an adjustment.
1t is difficult to see (unless he favors
reputation on general principles),
why when he admits a certain specih-
ed part of the debt was valid and just,
he did not recommend payment Of in
terest on it, and refusal to pay any
thing on that part he thought was in
valid.
Again the debt before the war was
in principal ST., 1874, 800, which to-
gether with unpaid interest would now
amount to $21, 299,715. This esti-
mate does not include Il single bond
issued during the or after the wal.

Plain Talk.

The Lower House Of the Tennessee
Legislature has, by vote Of fifty. one
to thirteen, which IS almost equal to
four to one, declined to accept the
proposition of the bondholders to re
linquish fifty per cent. Of their claims,
provided the legislature would take
the proper measures for paying the in
terest on the other fifty per cent. and
also for paying the principal when it
should mature. The bOndhOlders
we're willing to takenew bonds for one
half of their legal claims upon the
State, if they could be reasonably as
sured that they would be dealt with,
in respect to this oDe-half, according to
the laws Of commercial honor; and the
lower house of the legislature has just
declined to accept the compromise.
This means that the whole debt is to
be repudiated or scaled down 10 a still
lower point. We wish that the PEG
pie of Tennessee could see themselves
IS others see them. They would, if
not utterly lost to all sense of honor,
be not little panied at the vision
Here is a debt which, according % all
the rules of law and right, they owe,
and the interest on which they have
the ability to pay, without any higher
rate Of taxation than that of their sis
ter States; and they, as represented in
their legislature, not only decline to
pay the whole debt, but refuse to make
any provision for the payment of one
half Of it, and then skulk behind State
sovereignty for their immunity
Shame on such a State! It's conduct
is disgrace to the very name. It is
not worthy to hold in its bosom the
bones Of Il Jackson The Indepen-
dent.
