Raising Swine.

l.. G. Heaps, an experienced hog
breeder, gives the american StockmaD
the following practical suggestions for
successful hog raising: do not quit
raising and feeding hogs; take better
care of them; feed a greater variety of
food; have better pastures; keep your
yards all cleaned up; tear down or else
clear out and thoroughly diSinfect your
old hog houses and sheds, for here is
where the hog cholera turks. Keep all
places where your hogs sleep well disin-
fected, and give them plenty of good,
pure, fresh water. Have a good, clean
place in which to feed. Do not feed in
the mud. Feed regularly. Do not feed
too much at a time, but feed often, and
make them eat it up clean. Salt your
hogs often. Donot rely on any patented
hog cholera nostrums to save your hogs,
for if you do you are gone. But keep
everything about your yards and sleep
ing houses clean

Professional Divers.

One of the divers earliest experiences
is a disagreeable roaring sensation in
the ears for some time after his first de-
scent; but this is little felt after he be-
comes accustomed to his work. 1t is
caused by the air pressure, which in
creases with depth. From the same
cause the diver often experiences a
sensation amounting to earache,
which any one may test for him
self by descending in diving
bell. With regard to the mode of work
ing, it is noteworthy that, instead of
moving gradually outward after reach
ing bottom, the diver usually gropes at
once to the full length of his tether in
the required direction, and then works
slowly back to the starting-point. He
considers this the safer method, partly
because it leaves him at the finish direct
Nv at the place whence he has to rise.
The length of time during which 4
diver can remain under water depends
very much upon his own strength and
experience. the steady care with which
the air-pump is managed, and other cir
cumstances. NJ. Frendenberg states
that in the repair of the well in the
Scharley zinc mines. in Silesia, two di-
verS descended to the depth of eighty
five feet. remaining down for periods
VARYING from fifteen minutes to two
hours. Siebe. another authority on the
subject, relates that in removing the
cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked
off the coast of South America, a diver
named Hooper made seven deScents to
a depth of no less than two hundred and
one feet, and at one time remained down
forty-two minutes-supposed to be the
greatest diving feat ever achieved

The Worst Old Pelicans in the Deck.

One of the most remarkable things
noticeable in social life is the unanimity
with which people shake their relatives.
Recently a gentleman arrived in Carson
with letter of introduction to one of
our leading citizens from the citizens
uncle. After the Carsonite read the let
ter, he remarked:
"Glad to see you, sir. Glad to see
any body who knows my uncle in Cleve-
land. How are all the folks?"
"Splendid. spent six weeks there
last fall, and don't really think ever
met such a fine family of genial, hospi-
table and cultivated people"
"Yes?''
"Yes, indeed-I never spent pleas
anter time in my life. Your relatives
are, indeed, the"
"Well, young man, if my relatives
are such fine people they must have
changed like thunder since L lived with
them. | lived there a year, and think
they are about the worst pelicans in the
deck. l wouldn't spend a month with
the crowd for the whole town of Cleve-
land"
Indeed" said the other. "Well,
since you've been so candid about it, l
might as well remark right here that
your uncle and his whole family are the
toughest collection of old fossils | have
ever had the misfortune to be steered
against"
"Put it there, young man-you show
good sense. Let's go out and take
something"
In few minutes more the two men
were pledging perdition to the Cleve-
land relatives over a foaming schooner
of Carson beer Democrat.

The Farmers Garden.

The farmers garden is usually, or at
least often, "a by-word and Kissing"
1t is small business to potter by hand
here when farm work is pressing and
your team might pillow two acres for corn
or drill in ten acres of oats or barley, or
plant twelve of corn with the patent two
horse ''rower." But if the garden is
long and narrow, and planted in rows,
not beds, the blowing and narrowing
and most of the marking and cultivation
can be done with the team, and very
little time each week will give us the es-
sentials. The perennial or permanent
vegetables, like asparagus, rhubarb, etc.,
and all berry plants and bushes should
be at one side or both in rows with spaces
for horse cultivation, and the long rows
of ANNALS down through the middle.
A row each of beets, onions, Swedes,
celery, cabbages, caulifiowers, and sal
isfv, and half row each of cucumbers,
squaShes, melons, tomatoes, radisheS
and lettuce, will do nicely, and two rows
each of peas lin succession), Lima beans,
sweet corn and early potatoes will make
out quite a respectable farmer garden
all that most farmers can afford to
plant and till. Then two or three hours
each week with horse and man and Gull
tiyator and hoe, will make far better
garden really than as many days of a
gardener with spade and hoe, working
on patches and beds and alleys, laid out
to please the eye. If you can afford the
latter, all right. Most farmers cannot,
and the row plan described is, think,
the only one likely to secure good kitch
en-gardens on most farms. If the gar
den is unfenced except from the road,
and these garden rows can be Joined on
to rows of corn or potatoes in an ada
cent field. the garden is sure of tillage at
least when the field gets it, and the extra
labor is little felt. And it is easier to
fence the fo10ls than the vegetables

NERVOUSNESS, and all arrangements of the
nervous system, are usually connected with
diseased condition of the blood. Debility is
frequent accompaniment. The first thing
to be done is to improve the condition of the
blood. This is accomplished by taking NEGE-
TINE. 1t is a nerve medicine, and possesses
q controlling power over the nervous system.

We fully intended to draw your
readers a pen picture of a conven-
ton which was held here Saturday
for the purpose of sending delegates
to the Franklin convention; but
will not do so as this will reach you
only few hours before you go to
press, and will require too much
space. To locker on it was GER
tainly "rich, rare and spicy" and
there never was so much eloquence
lost on the desert air in the same
length of time. A preacher flour
ished the gavel and in vain did he
cry "order! - Preachers were con-
spicuous as leaders Of the different
factions on the floor, yet they nei-
ther opened with prayer nor wound
up with a bPnedictiou, but COM
menced like a tornado and died
away In a howl An old democrat
said in my presence that morning:
There is ring here that intends
to capture that convention for
Whitthorne," and it was openly
charged afterward who they sue
ceeded in their efforts. Some of
the best democrats in the county
were Gen. Whitthorne's friends in
the convention, and they are men
who would not lend their aid to any
unfair ends if they knew it, but in
their zeal for their favoTite it Is
highly probable they have driven
good men to point where they in
tend that other candidates shall
have the strength that is due them
in the convention. There is no
doubt that Col. Taiiaferro would
carry the county if the candidates
we're before tue people. He is a
hot favorite with the conservative
element in all parties, aud, ifjuslice
is done him, at least half of Law
renee county's vote will te cast for
him at Franklin. No man ever
came among these people and made
more friends in the same length of
time. He made a short speech
here Saturday. Col. Bond and Col.
Cox made speeches. These two
gentlemen have many warm perso-
nal friends here, who would be glad
to honor them. The genial Maj.
Matthews has been circulating
among his friends for several days.
Judge TInnon got in this evening.
