Fire Company No. 2's Picnic.

Fire Company No. g., (colD headed
by "Good Will Brass Band" Prof.
Eckart, leader, with Andre Lastrapes
as Marshal and Numa FerOn as Assist
ant, paraded our streets on Tuesday
last in celebration Of the 4th of July.
The company was beautifully uni
formed and preserving perfect line
as gracefully they turned the corner
and proceeded down Court street in
the direction Of this office. Stopping
here long enough to serve us musical
treat, we were pleased to note that
their engine had been newly and artis-
tically painted. lettered and otherwise
ornamented. After leaving US the
company proceeded down the street
a block, and passing by a cross street,
marched up Main to Meyers corner
where they turned westward to the en-
CINE room, we suppose. In the absence
of Perrin Jones, foreman, the COM
nany was commanded by Mr.. Ogon
chachere, who ably filled his place.
The parade was a pleasing success.
The company has our thanks for an in
yitation to attend their picnic held
in the woods near Mrs. Cooks. If the
dinner corresponded with the parade, it
was a good one, and had we not been
pressed with brief work we would have
it.

The Pig in Agriculture

The pig has recently been spoken of in con-
tempt when comparedlwith our domestic an
imals. But if We examine his good qualities
at all critically we must award him high
place in agriculture. He is found to produce
apound OF product fromslees food than either
cattle or sheep, and is, therefore, the most
economical machine 10 manufacture our great
corn crop into marketable meat Our people
are becoming wiser every year and exporting
less, proportlopstely OF the raw material and
more of condensed product. If it takes seven
pounds Of corn on the average to make q
pound Of pork, as is' no doubt the case, the
farmer begins To see the economy of exporting
one pound of pork, bacon or ham, instead Of
seven pounds OF corn. The difference in cost
of freight makes fine profit OF itself; besides,
the pound OF meat ls usually worth more than
seven pounds of corn ia the foreign market
The production Of pork should be encouraged
on the further consideration that 1t carries off
less Of the valuable constituents of the soil
than beef. The fat pig contains only three
fourths as much mineral matter per cwt. as
the fat steer, and only two-fifths as much nj
trogen per cwt. and therefore the production
Of q ton Of pork ON the farm will carry Oft
only q little more than half the fertility car
ried off by ton of beef. Besides, ton of
beef will require nearly so per cent more to
produce it. This gives In round numbers the
comparative effect of producing pork and
beet. It is thus evident that the pig should
have q high place in our agriculture; should
be fostered in every way his capabilities stud
led and pushed; his diseases carefully noted
and prevented, tor he is the most profitable
meat-producing animal on the farm. The pig
is an excellent adjunct to tie dairy, turning
all refuse milk and even whey into cash. AS
he is king Of our meat exports, SO let US treat
him withgreat confederation

Sailing Butter.
The Dairyman.


@ Butter Is usually sailed in accordance with
the demands of the markets to which it is to
be sent. American butter is generally sailed
at the rate of about one ounce to the pound
Perhaps the greater part of the sweet cream
butter has half or less than half that quantity.
In the south of Europe, indeed all Latin
countries, oil is in more general use than but
ter, and unsalted butter is preferred, The
Partisan custom of serving butter entirely
unsalted is sometimes aped in England and
some Of our American cities, but as a rule the
markets demand that the butter shall carry
more than halt an ounce of salt.
Unsalted butter will keep forever provided
it is butter and only butter. But the butter of
commerce is never pure. 1t retains more or
less OF the other properties of the milk, and it
is these which, while they add very much to
its value, are subject TO almost immediate de
terioration, and in turn tend tosinjure the but
ter itself. Even salt will not preserve them
Unsalted butter does not keep" The use of
salt in butter is more for fav0ring than for
preventative purposes. The protection and
preservation of butter ale due far more to the
package than TO the salt which is put in it,
