Feeding Pork.
lAmericau Agicultnralist. j


Pork is now lower than it has
been for thirty years, and the
prospect for those who have
many hogsis not agreeable. Yet
it would not be wise to sacrifice
good herds on this account.
Those who have not, will find
this good opportunity to weed
out their stock, and replace it
with a better quality of animals
in preparation for the time which
is certain to come, when pork
shall again bear profitable val
ne. The chief profit from pure
bred stock consists in its early
maturity, and the fact that
pig ola well selected breed and
properly fed, can be made fit
for the barrel at less than a year
old, makes it of far greater
worth than one which requires
two years to arrive at a salable
condition. To keep only the
best stock should be the aim of
every one who rears animals for
sale, and there is no better time
to begin to improve ones stock
than when the value is low, and
it can be done at the least ex-
pense.

There is no sight more pitia-
bic than that of people who
haven't good breeding enough
to behave in church. Bad in
deed must that parent feel
whose son or daughter goes to
the solemn sanctuary of the
Most High to indulge in levity
and disgusting disrespect of not
only the listening portion of
the congregation and of the
minister, but of the Almighty
Himself. Church is the place
of all others where opinion is
formed of character. No man
or woman can escape the sever
est criticism who disregards the
sacredness of the place and pro-
prieties of conversationalism.
If people cannot conform to the
laws of God and to convention
al forms of society when they
attend church, they have no
business to insult their Maker
and to CONTEMPORARY disre-
gard the ordinary demands of
refined society.

tho rIDDLrRs BILL


tOtcui Inc ttotsoou iSieSiain.
Our legislators are now en-
gagged in the perplexing prob
lem Of trying of trying to raise
money for the states expenses
without taxing anything or any
body to speak of. They vote
down an occupation tax, they
repeal a dog tax, and if they
would escape torrents of exc
Grafton from the country dis
tricts, they will withdraw the
tax on farm products. 1t is not
even likely that a tax can be
imposed on drinks of intoxicat-
ing liquors, although the drink
ing saloons have always been
favorite game for the levying of
taxes. In the general wish to
oblige everybody by exempting
them and their effects from tax
alton, a proposal to tax and Ii
cense gambling houses was
timidly made and as prompt
ly ignored by the legis-
ture. and default of any suffi-
cient tax bill to raise money for
the support of the state and for
the payment of its floating debt,
it is likely that some sort of a
land-selling scrip-making, bond
manufacturing scheme will be
resorted to, in order to exc out
a proper support for the state.
Itlooks hard that a rapidly
growing state like Texas whose
taxable values are SO rapidly in
creasing, is not able to raise a
reasonable sum for the mainte-
nance Gifts government. One
thing is certain-this is no time
for a timid, tirne-serving policy.
A state must derive funds for
current expenses,from taxation.
The state can not set out to
seek its daily subsistence in bor-
rowed money 1t may borrow
money for neutrality-suspicious.
or until it can gather its certain
resources, but not otherwise.
No taxation without represent
alton is an old political watch
word, but equallyas important
principles are involved in the
idea that those who enjoy the
benefits of civil government
must help to bear the burdens
also. Those who dance must
pay the fddlers.

The excursionist are meeting
with an ovation in Mexico,
The following sentiments were
uttered by President Diaz, in
his reception speech:
He said it was very crafty
ing to him to extend the hos
pitalities of the Republic OF
Mexico to the representatives
of SO many States of the Amer
lean nation, and he was conf
dent that only good could come
of the visit, by correction of the
wrong impression entertained
by some Americans, because
they did not know the Mexicans
better. He was proud to re-
ceive the banner of the greatest
nation on the continent, and
trusted the stars and stripes and
the flag of Mexico would float
in harmony side by side over
the two republics for ever.

LEADVILLE.
Tho Wondrous Mining Town of
Colorado-Big Prices.
Detroit Free Press Letter. !

Detroit Free Press Lctter.l
This town was born July I.
1877, and now has more than
5000 people, 1900 dwellings and
business houses, all of logs or
green lumber, save a half dozen
of brick, and the daily addition
to the population is about 100.
/, We have three banks, five
churches, two schools, three
daily newspapers, seventy-hve
drinking saloons. fifty gaming
houses, etc, fifty restaurants or
eating houses, which each feed
over $50 persons daily, six fur
mace meters and six more in
process of erection, two ore
samplers, mercantile houses of
of all kinds, over thirty LAWYERS,
as many physicians and all who
work here wear the blue ribbon,
avoid gaming, drinking, reveling
and loaflng, are doing well.
Over 1900 six and eight-horse
teams haul the supplies here
and draw away the silver bull
lion and silver ore, leaving all
the low grade ore piled up
mountains high. Leadville now
sends away $4,000 worth of ore
and bullion each day, and with
cheap transportation they would
quadruple that sum. Rents are
high l pay $40 per month for a
log cabin for my law Office, and
all strangers have to pay ST for
a bed, and very many can find
none. Living here is as cheap
as in Detroit, save rents l will
say you can get as good meals
here as at the Michigan Ex-
change, Biddle or Russell house.
for about sI.5o each day. Green
lumber bringe $50 per thousand.
Wood sawyers earn So per
cord for saving lumber. Car
penters, joiners. 81 per diem,
and in good demand, for there
are at least 500 buildings now
in process of erection. Good
cook from $50 to SI5o per
month; female servants earn
from $40 to 500 per month;
blacksmiths at least S. every
day; miners mostly work for
themselves, but smelters, fur
mace men, teamsters. all get at
least s. SO to S. so per day.
The Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe railroad is graded to with
in 80 miles from here, and will
be finished here by August I,
1879; and then we shall have
COKE at 80 per ton, instead OF
S23; coal at So, instead of $40;
and by that time there will be
at least $4,000 people here, and
we shall send off ST, 900, 900 in
silver bullion every single day.
All these carbonates of silver
are strongly impregnated with
gold, and this last summer $780,
900 in gold dust was washed
out here by VIM. H. Stevens
and other pioneer miners. Al
though Sunday is the greatest
day for business and pleasure
too, this is a most quiet, peace
full camp. But one man shot
since | came here, and he was
shot by constable for resisting
process. This, l think, is the
real bonanza of the United
States, and will ship more gold
and silver this year than any
other of the same number of
people in this union.

Two States and their Debts.

The legislatures of Tennessee
and Virginia have just been con-
Isidering the debts of their re
spective states, the burden in
both cases being heavy and the
creditors being clamorous. Both
bodies have had competent adj
vice from at home and abroad;
both have population, resources
and everything else which
should encourage honest men
to reduce their indebtedness or
| at least make arrangements for
paying interest thereon. but
they have treated the matter in
widely different ways. The Vir-
glnians, by a fair majority, APP
pear to be making every posi-
sible effort toward putting their,
affairs in business like shape; the
Tennessee Legislators, on the
other hand, pottered with their
business as long as they could
without doing something, and
then quietly disbanded and hur-
ried off home like a lot of abb
sconding debtors. Both states
may imagine that because the
affair is their own, no one else
viii interest themselves in it;
but the truth is that the whole
of the reading public is as well.

quently expressed desires for
more men and capital to devel-
OPP their resources, and unem-
ployed men and capital are
ready, but neither labor nor
money is going to trust itself
where business engagements are
set aside or disregarded. Ten
nessee's prospects have been Sc
riously injured during the month
and every Tennesseean must
bear a share in the loss and dis
grace. Virginia, on the contra
~, has been steadily adding to
her old time reputation for hon
esty and honor, and what each
state has done will constitute
the public measure of its integ-
rity for at least generation to

NORTH CAROLINA TOBACCO
Mr.. T. L. Rawley, representa-
tive from Rockingham county,
presented to the Agricultural
Museunriast week, a specimen
of beautiful tobacco of his own
raising. 1t sells readily at sew
enty-hve cents per pound.
Rockingham embraces some of
the finest tobacco lands in the
State, and is the leading county
in this interest. as we learn frop1
the returns of Col. Folks off
The yield for the year IS
stated at 100000 pounds
in this connection anoth
has been developed by ths
turns in the office of CorhIiA
sioner. He says that the total
yield accredited to our State in
census of 1870 is about II,ooo,-
900 pounds. He has already
footed up nearly 100000 lbs.
from partial returns from only
seventy-eight counties, and 3
important tobacco counties are
left out entirely. So we may
safely assume that the yield in
our state was not less than TO-
100000 pounds. Verify, Col.
Polk is correct when he says in
