The Pig Pasture.

We always have the best success
with breeding sows when they are
allowed to feed on grass. This Is
the only food they require until the
young pigs are a week or two old,
when wilk or meal of some sort
may be given them TO increase the
flow of milk if they require it. Sows
thus managed are never ugly and
never destroy their pigs. Why !!
Because they are in natural and
health condition. The grass also in
creases the low of milk, and is,
quite often, sufficient feod for q SOW
while rearing her young. Young
pigs soon learn to eat the grass,
which is alike natural and healthy
for them. We never have case OF
scours or thumps among young
pigs when running in pasture. The
grass serves to counteract the effect
of corn, and many pigs on grass can
be fed heavily with this feod with
out the injury which il would do
them if confined and deprived OF
grass. Our experience has convinc-
ed us that no farm is complete with
out a pig pasture. Glover is the
best ofall the grasses for this pur-
pose, and next to it we prefer or
chard grass, for the reason that II
starts up promptly after being eat
en- of, Is the earliest in the spring
and is re!ished by the pigs. 1t is
not necessary to have a special field
for the pig pasture, but they may be
allowed 10 run in any lot If proper
! lv inclosed. There should be water
in the field and plenty of grass. A
patch of sweet corn sowed IN the
drills will be found convenient to
supplement a short pasture in the
/ late summer. There should also bi
another patch of turnips or othei
roots into which the pigs may be
turned for fall breeding. With the
three auxileries Of pasture, sweet
corn stalks and root patch, the
cost of rearing anu feeding pigs may
be reduced to less than one hall o
their expense when they are coniin-
ed and fed in pens, to say nothing
about theis better condition for food

Printers, as a rule, never hetray
the confidence of an Office in which
they work. In the whole history
of the inner working of the Federal
Government, no composito:, proof
reader or pressman was ever charg-
ed and proved guilty of having di-
vuiged secret of the Government
when it was confded in him ''in
copy" or "on press" Hence, it is
net surprising that in the investiga-
Iion betare the Senate committee to
ascertain how the Chinese treaty got
to the hands of the newspaper cor
respondents, not word was adduc-
ed to show that it came through the
national printing office. A prin-
ter's honor, in this respect, is proof
against all temptations. \ printer
never leaks. Legislators and Cabi-
net officers may fail in this respect,
and men who wear the eFniine of
the judiciary, or the uniform Of the
army and navy may not know how
to keep such confidence, but a COM
positor never fails. His fidelity
concerns all that he holds dear in
life-firmness in preserving the Sc
crets of an office in which he works.

Wewere reading the other day in one OF
those vast and wandering Western papers, whose
growth is among the amazements of modern jour
nalism, the history of a statesman whose exploits
should not fail to be admired of men. The name
of this remarkable man is Ben Lc Fevre. We do
not know whether he is a general or a colonel but
he is worthy to be a captain general and to be
named along with Grant i'll Logan's bill. Ben lie
Fevre represents a large Democratic district in
Ohio. Although Democrat and Drowned in the
faith, he has obtained from this Republican admin
istration ffty-fre appointments, mostly in the
Treasury This, atleaSt, is the narrative and it is
so remarkable that we feel it our duty to call pub
lie attention and admiration to Ben LIE Fevre as a
Democrat worthy of translation. There is only
one place suited to his fertile genius-the city of
New York. Mr.. Cox and Mr. McCook, his col
leagues, can tell him how kind We are to Ohio
statesmen who seek the larger growth and higher
culture of our metropolitan society. A Democrat
who can worry ffty-five appointments out of a
Republican administration is the one man to lead

among the sachems it would be good night and

Diseased Cattle in Canada.

1t is not yet known what precau-
tons will be taken by the Dominion govern
ment in view of the outbreak of pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle of the Western States.
1t will be remembered that during the summer of
1850 the imperial government, at the request of
the Dominion government, consented to an ar
rangement to allow cattle from the United States
to pass through Canada from West to East, under
certain stringent regulations agreed upon between
the Canadian government and the railway COM
panies. 1t is certain, however, that the preva-
lence ofthe infection will have the effect of tight
ening the existing regulations. I was shown q
cablegTaln al the Department of Agriculture to-
day from Sir A. T. Calf, at London, England, who
denies that there is any foundation for the article
appearing in the London Times to the effect that
the British government had ordered the slaughter
of Canadian cattle ON arrival after six DAYS.

the Maxim and the Edison Light

The examiner Of interferences of the
Patent-Office has decided, upon testimony submit
ted by the United States Electric Lighting Com
pany, that Mr.. Maxim is entitled to a patent for
themostatic regulator similar to that which, it is
understood Mr. Edison proposes to use in his cleo
tric lamp and for which Edison has patent. The
decision grew out of an application filed by the
United States Electric Lighting Company, in which
1t was maintained that Mr.. Maxim had completed
the invention previous to Mr.. Edison. Upon the
hearing of the case the testimony was all submit
ted by the applicants. Mr. Edisons defense was
simply that the Maxim invention was imperative.
If the case is appealed to the examining board
and patent granted to Maxim the priority then re-
mains to be settled by the courts.
