While it is true that in the domestica-
ton Of the hog his nature and habits
have been greatly modified, yet the fact
remains that in his normal or natural
condition he is grass eating animal,
and that during the greater portion of
his growth grass food is necessary to his
health. The experience of the best far
mers in the country testifies to this.
Corn is the proper food for fattening,
but not for growth. The chief object of
swine-raising is the weight and quality
OF the carcass. The value of hog de-
ponds on his being we'll fattened, and
the object aimed at during his whole
life is to prepare him for that purpose.
The cost OF grass-feeding, even with
other light food, is merely nominal,
while hog fed on corn from the time
he is weaned until butchered seldom
pays expenses. The fattening process
is to some extent disease-producing
process, and it too long continued is
always so. But when the animal COM
mences fattening in vigorous health af-
ter being fed for months on green vege-
table food, his health will remain firm
during the time required for fatten-
ing.
Grass, then, is the food which nature
requires for keeping pigs healthy until
the time of fattening, and nothing is
better for the purpose than timothy and
clover. The early pigs of this year are
now about weaned, and the later ones
are taxing their dams to the fullest ex-
tent. They first require good pasture
and plenty of pure water, and so do the
sows which carry the latter. Accom-
panying the SOW to the pasture, the
sucking pig soon learns to eat the sue
culent food<t finds, while the exercise
in obtaining it sharpens the appetite
and promotes digestion. Pigs which
have had such access to grass will have
more regular appetites and be in better
condition to assimiate their food. They
can eat and digest more corn and meal
when running on grass, and thus make
more bone and muscle than when shut
up in lot or pen with no other fooc
but corn. Kept on grass during thu
summer, hogs are in prime condition t.

for the food consumed than if fed OF
corn alone, even with a run OF the wood

The AIiauthus Tree.

To destroy the tree and it's shoots, is
to cut the tree down, and in each of the
four quarters of the stump bore an inch
anger hole deep enough to contain half
pint of salt, which put in, and leave
open for the rains to melt, and any
young sprouts that are large enough to
depend upon their own roots for sup
port cut off close to the ground and
after boring half-inch auger hole in

is, the free school system is blessing
or not just es the people make it. Ifthe
people would take it RS they find it
an properly utilize it, it will be a great
blessing. If they depend upon the
public fund alone, it is too small to
do the whole work. To increase it
as the work demands, would require
such tax that the tax payer would
rebel AS the levy now stands, there
is a sufficient fund to keep the schools
open three or four months. What
then is the plan2 Plainly for the
patrons to come to the rescue and

community at least nine months in
the year. Weknow Of a number Of

all will be we'll.
Again, Mr.. Baldwin says, "a good
plan would be to have an examiner,
with a moderate salary, to examine
and enquire into the efficiency of
teachers" This duty is already in
the hands Of Board consisting of
Mr.. w. L. Glaze, Prof. Jas. L. La
Roche and the School Commissioner.
We can testify, from personal know
ledge, that the two gentlemen named
have been thorough and conscien-
tious in the discharge Of their duties
on the Board, regardless of the ab
sencc Of the moderate salary.
The examinations, morally and in
tellectually, are as rigid as circum-
stances will permit, and the character
and efficiency Of the teacher has
been greatly i'm proved.
We are convinced. from the expe-
rience we have had, that with less op-
position, and moro cooperation on
the part of the people, and with in
creased zeal and work on the part Of
school officers, our present system
can. anc will accomplish all that may
be desired, and will prove blessing
to generations to come.

The LIEN Law.

At the meeting Of the State Asri.
cultural Society in Greenvile last
week, resolution was passed, amid
great applause, that "the lien law
ought to be speedily, finally and
forever abolished" This is no un-
certain verdict of the agricultural
class on this subject, and as the TAR
mers are by far the largest and most
Important part Of the community,
and are most directly affected by the
law, the decision will not fail to have
its weight. There arc arguments
pro and con on the lien law as upon
all other subjects; but it seems to us
that the true way to consider it ig, in
the light Of interest, and in this way
we will be apt to arrive at a correct
conclusion as to its merits or de-
merits. The lien upon the crops is
nothing more than security for
money borrowed. Interest, as is
well known, when not regulated by
law, is always proportioned to the
degree Of security. If the security
is bad, the interest will be high. Ii
it is good, interest, will be low
And nobody can be blamed for this.
The lien upon the crops is as unccr-
tain as the vicissitud, Of the seasons,
and the instability of labor. AS a
consequence Of this uncertainty,
interest will be high, and We are
little surprised, when we add to this
consideration, the natural lisposi-
tion to self preservation, which is
common to humanity. The usury
law was passed to protect the money
borrower, but the lien law now en-
CULTS him worse than ever. On the
other hand there are those who claim
that no one is compelled to resort to
the use Of this law, ar d that it opens
the way for thos. who have no other
security to offer to obtain advances.
But we lose sight Of the fact that
such enormous interest is ruinous,
and that it hurts the borrower worse
than the lender. What we need is
strong security for the protection Of
the merchant, and light interest for
the good of the farmer, and then all
can live. Doubtless the question will
be fairly and thoroughly discussed,
and the next Legislature will be call
ed upon TO render final verdict.
We hope it will be a wise and salts
factory one.

Mr. Editor: For several years back
Orangeburg has been progressing
with wonderful strides. Her material
growth is shown in the large number
Of private residences erected and
building now. Her progress ls shown
in her improved and well patronized
schools, and in numerous other indi-
cia of thriving town. She has
made within few days another and
a very forward step on the road to
civilization. There has been a want
felt here for long time Of some place
Of amusement where the young Of
both sexes might gather socially and
innocently, and with mutual benefit
n place which would particularly
draw the young men from idlencss
and questionable amusements, ant
throwing them with the other sex, i'm
prove their morals and manners as
we'll. This want has at last been
supplied. Miss Thomson's dancing
school has furnished this desired
need. At this school the young peo-
pie meet, and not only enjoy an limo

they will never regret through life.
