swine RaisIIg-A Different System
desirable.

Pure air helps to make pure
blood, which, in course of an
ture, builds up healthy bodies.
Out-of-door pigs would not
show so well at fairs, and would
probably be passed over by the
Judges and people who have
been taught to admire only the
fat and helpless things that get
the prizes. Such pigs are well
adapted to fill lard kegs, where
as the standard of protection
should be.a pig which will make
the most ham with the least
waste of fat, the longest and
deepest sides, with the most
lean meat; it should have bone
enough to allow it to stand up
and help itself to food. and
carry with it the evidence of
health and natural development
in all its parts. Pigs which run
in a range or pasture have good
appehtes-the fresh air and ex-
ercise give them this-hence
they will eat a great variety OF
food and much coarser than
when confined in pens. Moth
ing need go to waste on the
farm for lack of a market. They
will consume all the refused
fruit, roots, pumpkins, and all
kinds of vegetables, which will
make them grow. By extend
ing the root patch, aud plant
ing the fodder corn thinner, SO
that nubbins will form on it,
and by putting a sweet variety,
the number Of pigs may be in
creased in proportion. A few
bushels of corn at the end of
the season will finish off the
pig. The pig pasture will be
ready the next year for any
crop, and ten times the advau-
tage accrues to the farm than if
the pigs are confined in close
pens, for as pigs are usually
managed on the the farm, but
little manure is ever made from
them.-Col. F. D. Curtis, in

4 Rather Odd but interesting Game,
From the KINGSTON Freeman.l

From the Kingston Freeman.
An uptown young lady and
gentleman play games of eu-
chre at nights in the young
lady's parlor under the agree
ment that when he wins he is to
kiss her and when she wins
she is to kiss him. The agree
ment seems to have been very
satisfactory, and it has astonish-
ed the rest Of the folks who are
not in the secret why it is they
do SO love to play euchre. If
one Of the members Of the fami-
ly happens to be in the room
when games are won or lost,
why the ful6llment of the con-
tract is put off until a kissing
opportunity occurs, and it is
said in some, instances, when a
large number of forfeits become
due, IL requires almost con-
tinual kiss and return for half
an hour or more to finish up.
This practice person would
suppose to be quite wearing
and exhaustive one, but the
young people bear up under it
wonderfully, and seem quite
cheerful and happy. Had it not
been for some jealous chaps the
secret compact between the two
probably would never have been
known to the world, and thus
other couples deprived of the
chance to test it themselves.
The Jealous youths, while look
ing at the window one night,
saw the forms of the couple
Swallowed on the window-shades
and as they could see them play
cards, and when the last card
was slapped down hear one or
the other say: 20, glory! It's
my turn !" or 20, cream and
peaches, I will try it this time p
and could see the shadowy
motions of kissing, they sur
missed the whole thing and told
it as big joke, when they were
only signing that they couldn't
have part in the contract.

GOOD REPORTS.

School officers and teachers from
Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, IL
linois, Tennessee, Mississippi and
other States, send us the strongest
and best words of encouragement
as to the interest and progress of
their schools--enough, in fact, to
fill a dozen such issues as the
Journal.
The schools, public and private,
are more successful and more large
ly attended than eyer before.
Pupils are more punctual and
more anxious to attend school.
liz fact there is a pressing de-
mand, where teachers have done
well, for them to continue private
schools, after the public schools
have closed.
The fact is, people begin to real.
ize that it is better to have the
children learning something use-
ful--formlng good habits--and the
children themselves have come to
know that good habits and intelli-
gence are not only in demand, but
are a means to an end.
One must have something more
than mere muscle nova. days when
so much manual labor is done by
steam power.
1t, is hard for person to come
into competition, or to keep up
with a steam engine, and it is brains
and character that win to-day, and
not muscle and brag!

the right direction.--[A American
