FOR THE FARMERS HOUSEHOLD.
To Make Choice Pork.

TO Make ChOlce Pork.
A farmer puts forth a plan for greater
cleanliness in the raising of hogs, and
thus preventing cholera. He says: 1
have seen hogs kept in aoored pens
which were never cleaned, until at
cleaning time their bellies we're full Of
small ulcers; and such meat is packed
and shipped as prime pork Places
where filth always reigns supreme are
the fattening pens connected with dis
tilleries. l believe that such places have
as much to do with spreading disease
among hogs as among cattle. So far as
Ihave ever known, when cholera makes
it's appearance in any district, it has
nearly always been among the swill-fed
hogs Of distilleries, or hocks treated as
described above. / do not claim that
in great cleanliness we have an infalli-
BILE preventive Of cholera; but / do claim
that with cleanliness and proper variety
Of food, the appearance Of the malady
would be less frequent and its victims
fewer; that farmers, by a little care and
attention, might save themselves much
loss. Men shut up a pig in a filthy pen
and give him filthy garbage to eat, and
then abuse him because he is an I'M.
clean animal; but let them give him a
clean place to stay in, clean food and
clean water; in short, treat him as we'll
as other stock, and see il he is not as
clean as other animals. Now, farmers,
try a little wholesome cleanliness with
your hogs, and see II they do not pay
better,

ReplenishinR Meadows.

Meadows that have been run down,
become sod bound or covered with moss,
sorrel or other weeds, may be renovated
without blowing. The old sod needs to
be disturbed, but a thorough narrowing
or a chopping of the surface with a disk
harrow will disturb it sufficiently with.

o dressing Of lime may, in many cases,
be all that is required in the way of a
fertilizer. If it can be afforded, a mod

but it is better to have the ground good

is to be sown. Grass is a crop for which
the soil cannot be too rich, for il the
growth is excessive it can be cut at any
time and made into hay or fed green.

Sheep ON the Farm.

A writer on sheep husbandry in the
South says: To utilize the meadow and
pasture, sheep can be more probably
used than any other stock. Sheep cul.
ture has advantages over cattle raising.
II gives annual dividends in the heeoes.
Indeed, the eve gives two dividends
her heeoes and her lambs. The beef
producing animals give no dividends;
and the grower must go on adding his
expenses to the end Of their lives, when
he must find his compensation-if he
cabin n gross sum. The capital
required for the purchase of sheep
enough stock for a fair trials small.
Large focks are not required. Sheep
growing is commended by other consid-
erations, apparently slight, but too i'm
portant to be overlooked. Wool v
has to seek a purchaser. Poor or good,
it is eminently the cash article on the
farm, The little addition from this
source to the of the farm az
fords a satisfaction to which every WOOL
growing farmer will testify.

A recent visit to an old New-England
| same Industrious and frugal families have
TILED the rocky soil and earned for them
selves an honorable independence, showed
more clearly than any words can do some
Of the advantages Of sticking to the
farm. Fifty years ago six families had
homes along the wall-bounded strip of
road that now gives frontage to a single
farm. At that time, and for a hundred
years before. fifty acres were enough to
occupy the time and satisfy the needs of
the average farmers. They knew the art,
of which so many of their descendants
are ignorant of limiting their wants, and
living a natural, peaceful, and contented
life But at length fifty acres ceased TO he
enough. Artificial wants increased, and
new ambitions tempted the sons away
from the old home The tide toward the
cities set III, and We became a nation of
town-builders. The fertile fields of the
West offered rare attractions and to one
who can compare an Iowa or Kansas
township with the rock-ribbed and 'edge-
wise" fields of the up-country in New
England, the wonder no longer is that so
many men went West, but that there are
enough left to till the ancestral acres.
And vet the last six years have shown
that the men who stayed at home are not.
as a class and rule, those who missed il.
The fifty-acre homesteads have become
two or three hundred-acre farms, with
out, i'll a maiority of cases, lessening the
productiveness. The old farm-houses
have gone to ashes or to decay, or stand
empty and deserted, mute witnesses of
the changed conditions of rural life in our
still young country New buildings, new
machinery, new methods of farming, and
better markets and advantages of all
sorts have marked the new era and for
the past few years, amid the general fall
III prices and widespread financial trou-
bles, the wcll-to-do farmer has been often
enough reminded Of his untouched pros
perity and cnviablc state.
The men who have enlarged the old
homesteads, without putting II mortgage
on them, and who have adopted mtelli-
gent and progressive ideas in farming. are
now able to meet the stress of II competi-
ton of which their fathers knew nothing,
and to enjoy II life III every way easier and
more enviable than was theirs. They in
herited, too. many things besides the IA
mlllar acres. The store of experiences.
precedents, and other forms of practical
knowledge, which n NewEngland farmer
Of the third or fourth generation possess
es, is often equivalent to II thorough edu-
cation for his calling. BY sticking to
the farm he has been abe to utilize tins
as part of his capital. He knows each
field better than any merchant can know

piness, which the most favored of men

Mrs. chisoim's Story,

Mrs. Chlsolm, widow of the late Judge
Chisolm, who paid with his life the penalty
of being Republican in Mississippi, fearing
that her failing health would never permit
her to tell in court the story of the murder
OF her husband and children, wrote out an
account Of the tragedy. This was left with
the New York Tribune before she started
for the South 10 attend the recent mockery
of justice called trial, and was published
in the Tribune Of last Saturday. With the
main incidents of the ghastly story the pub
lie has long been familiar, but Mrs. ChisOlm's
account is more full of details than any that
has yet appeared, and is told in manner
| which will convince most readers Of its sub
| stantial accuracy. 1t is a vivid description
OF scenes that were burned into the brain of
the unhappy Narrator; and no one can read
it without the deepest emotions of pity for
the victims; horror at the brutality of the
mob, and sympathy for the poor woman,
from whom that black day took husband

Indians on the Plains could have

''the first citizens of kemper Countrywide
have shown that they control all branches of
civil organization in that county,-social,

condition of society in that region, made by
the transactions thus described, is simply
appalling. Every order-loving and law
abiding citizen must feel unwilling to be
associated in the same government, though
thousands Of miles away, with these Missis-
sippi savages; and must be conscious of a
deep disgrace attaching to himself as an
American citizen, as the fact is forced upon
hIm that there are portions of our country in
which such crimes as this are not only
possible, but go absolutely unwhipped of
justice. We copy elsewhere some extracts

An intelligent working man." who was
for time led astray by the Greenback
visionaries, and who for time held apromi
nent office in the early Greenback organza-
tions, has lived long enough 10 see the falla-
cies of many of the Greenback arguments,
and the folly of the Grecnback movement.
He is also frank enough to avow his error
and fair enough to do what he can to repair
some of the mischief he has abetted. To this
end he has published pamphlet, entitled
'.Facts for Workingmen and Greenbackers.'
In this he alludes to the Greenback hostility
to the National banks and to resumption,
during the campaign of 1878, in which he
honestly participated He shows that ti,o
frightful predictions Of evil made by Green
back statesmen and the whole Greenback
Press. which were TO follow resumption,
have not been realized. This fact suggested
to him the idea that possibly the Greenback
opposition to the National bank system was
also founded IN error, which Il thorough in
vestigation established. The pamphlet pre-
sents the results of that investigation. The
author assumes that a good and stable cur
rency is necessary to the welfare of a Nation,
and especially to the wealth-producing toll
ers, to illustrate which he graphically de-
scribes the old State bank system, by which
the whole country suffered, and by which
the industrial classes lost millions of dollars.
The question, Can the National banks be
Immediately abolished? he answers in
the negative. These banks are char
tered for 90 years from the date of their
organization, and cannot be abolished without
gross violation of the contract on the part
of the Government besides, their number
is constantly being augmented, which popu-
larges and strengthens the system. If no
more banks were organized, those now in
operation would not expire until the begin
ming of the next century, long before which
all opposition to them would he removed, so
that we may consider the present currency
as firmly established. The substitution of
greenbacks for National bank notes, soimper-
atively demanded by the Greenback party,
is shown to be impossible. This requires
