what are called hogs. They should
and must be all fattening hogs. It is.
the worst kind of waste to let pigs
get poor at any stege of their exist
ence. Besides, warm weather is the
best time to fatten pigs. With warm
quarters they can be safely fattened
until February, and il five cases out
of six that is the best month to sell
in: Bit It is better to Keep hogs too
cold thai. hot in their quarters. Keep
them from the cold and snow. Keep
them out of straw stacks and m;.-
nure piles. With sulphur and coal
oil keep them clear of vermin. Feed
and water them regularly, so that
they lie down most of the time. Give
them all the surplus ashes from the
house. But keep, if possible, no
hogs over the entire winter. Hogs
pay, and pay largely when managed
right.-Iri6une.

FARM No7Es.
Ho6e in Minnesota.

Our state has never made any very
great pretentions in regard to the
pro6tableness of keeping on tho farm
large numbers of hogs, but it is now
claimed that hardly any other branch
of business pays better than the
swine herd to the farmer. A writer
makes the following remarks in re-.
gard to their management:
The old practice is done away with.
It pays no longer to keep over winter
any hogs excepting those specially in.
tended for breeding, The most &C.
ceptable breeds can now be made. to
mature in eight or ten months. If
one man can make hogs weigh three
hundred pounds in ten months, all
can. Pigs should be given all they
will eat, and of the best kind, from
the hour they begin to eat until they
are taken to market. They need no
time of rest; like some of the pla1Bs

American Wheat Fields.
:rhc Growth Of w heat Culture in tho
United StatoS.

United StatoS.
The progress in wheat culture III
the United States posses much inter
est, and especially in view of the:
high price which it now brings; as,
compared with 4 few years ago: :.
AS recently as 1870 only about ~
600 600 acres of land in this country
were devoted to wheat culture. By
1875 the acreage had increased to
;,bont 10000, 900, and in 1880 to about
3O,OO),000.
In New England in 1881 only about
&c, 900 acres are planted in wheat.
Yet, Notwithstanding tile rocky char:
,cter of the soil. careful cultivation.
has made it produce on the average
Is l-2 bushels to the acre.
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio. and 1lli-
n0is together have IN aggregate OF
about 10000, 900 acres in wheat, amt
the product from these in 1880 was
about $50. 900, 600 bushels.
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa, Da-
kota. and Nebraska constitute the
spring wheat belt. In these 10, 0W,-
GOO acres were in 1890. planted in
wheat. and the yield was about no.
OOO 600 bushels, or IL bushels to the
| acre.
During ten years the yield in the
sp:ino.wheat belt was increased only
81. .OOO. coo bushels. while during the
same period the increase III the yleld
in the four states of Michigan mol
ana. Ohio. and Illinois was about 49,
OOO. 900 bushels. The stna'f 1ncr'ase,.
and the small average yield per acre
in the spring-wlteat belt is regarded
as an argument supporting the asser-
tiOn that continuous cropping for
wheat without fertilization or rot;.-
tion will decrease the yield. and is al
80 an evidence that old land will in
time have to be abandoned, and the
wheat fields moved farther west, or
rotation of crops, alternated with
clover. be adopted. The increase in
the four middle states shows the
effect Of better cultivation and the
use of improved agricultural machln-
cry.
There are number of counties, in
the several states yielding more than
a million of bushels each. In the ag-
gregate yield, Colusa county Can
fornia, goes ahead of all others IN tne>
union, in 1879 producing 4,5Oo;000
bushels. IN average Of II IA bushels
per acre; but in the average yield per
acre Stark county, Ohio, occupies the
front rank, producing "a 40 bushels
per acre. Next comes Portage
county, Ohio, producing 22 l-2 bush:

"OO09A0G xxS<AA1SA0'
The weather still continues to be
very wet, and there is a large amount
of damaged hay being put up. The
prospect is that good hay will be
scarce next winter.
Mr.. E. Wright tells me that on his
prairie farm, there was seven and
one-half bushels of wheat sown; and
he raised ninety:three and one'half
bushels. and the oats yielded about
40 bushels per acre.
The Aldrich boys liav6 threshed a

that what wheat they have threshed,
yielded % and one.half bushels per

China Geese.

There are three varieties Of these,
all alike beautiful and commendable
in their seperate way.
First-The pure white, about two
thirds the size of the common goose.
This has a long, slender, and very
graceful neck, golden rim around
each eye, All orange co]ored bill,
joined to the head by large knob,
orange legs and feet, and an oval
body. Grace is in all its movements,
mere especially when swimming,
diving, and plunging itself in the
| water. It has shrill, musical cry,
lays twenty to thirty eggs early III
the spring, and sometimes as many
more in autumn.
Second-The Brown China of the
same size, shape and appearance as
the white. A brown stripe, several
shades darker than the body, COM
mences on front of the head ard
runs down the back of the neck to
the body. 1t has black bill and
knob, but orange-colored legs and
feet.
The ganders of either of these va
rieties, crossed on the common goose,
produce a larger and finer gosling for.
the table than the parents: Well fat
tened at six months old, they will
dress, net from to IL pounds.
Smaller variety than the
two above, of similar characteristics,
but of darker brown than number
two in body and back of neck: The
color of the feet and legs CT this sort
is different, being black, as we'll AS
the knob and bill. 1t is now quite
scarce in America, but. thirty years
AGO and more, abOunded in several
/ poultry preserves.
The African goose is marked much
like number two of the China; but is
nearly double the size, with a large
dewlap under the lower jaw. 1t is a
coarser bird in all it's points than this,
not 50 graceful on land or in the wa
ter, nor is it so prolific in laying. A
golden circle adorns each of it's eyes.
Its CRY is hoarse, and 50 loud that it
can be heard at great distance. Jt
is, upon the whole, rather magnifi-
cent bird; and all will adorn both the
land at1d the water.-Ndtiondl Liz:

prints the following:
BEAUvAtR, HARRISON Co., MIss., JULY S
Mr. Findley S. Collins-DEAR SIR: I have
received yours of the 18th instant, and thank
sou for the kind expression it contained,
Tho evil Influence to which you refer as
causing tho bitterness felt toward Southern
men, it may fairly bc expected, will give way
to the sober sense of tho people, if they shall
like yourself, detect the sordid motive
for which stimulauts are administered. I
will not, like the telegram you otto in regard
to the attempted assassination Of the Presi-
dent, say am thankful tho assassin was not
Southern man; but will say regret he is
On American. A orime black enough in
itself has deeper dyo from the meroonary
motive which scoma to have prompted it. I
sincerely trust the President may recover,
and that the startling event may arouse tho
people to the consideration OF n remedy for
the decentralization wtioh o wild hunt for
office is creating. With the best wishes for
your welfare, am, worry truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
