Diverted Pigs.

The Irish Farmers Gazette says:
When young pigs are sick it may be
pretty certainly understood that they
have been overfed. The general treat
ment of pigs seems to be based upon
the idea that they are naturally greedy
and glutonous animals, and that this
should be encouraged as much as pos.
sible. Hence all the diseases which so
frequently affect pigs. When young
pig is tender animal, his stomach is
not much larger than that of a human
infant about as old, and yet people will
cram the little creature with sour slop,
grease, milk and corn meal until it can
swallow no more. And when the pig
is sick one wonders what is the matter.
We do not feed lambs or calves, or
colts, in that fashion, hence these are
rarely diseased. Cough and difficulty
of breathing is caused by indigestion
and the com n,s disease Of pMSq R}Ich4s YIe
chief symptom, and which is cerebro
spinal meningitis, is caused by indiges-
ton and malnutrition, which cause dis
turbance of the circulation and conges-
ton of the brain and spinal marrow,
with loss of nervous power. The
treatment is to give do sc of salts and
one scruple of saltpeter daily after
ward, and feed very sparingly.

Strong Drink.

Some years since man complained
to use of the hardness of the times, and
said his family had been deprived of
both butter and eggs for some two or
three months. We felt very sorry for
him, as well as for his family, suppos-
so -as 'rU 5uram' thc- rtruat nucessitios 'oi
life; but our sympathy for himself sud-
denly vanished, when, but day or two
later, we beheld him, in company with
two boon companions, come staggering
out GROCERY door. We saw at a
glance why he could not get butter and
eggs for his family. lie would have
beer and whisky for himself; and his
wife and children must forego butter
and eggs, and perhaps many other COM
forts, in order that a drinking husband
and father might crafty his worse than
british appetite. One of the other par
ties who was in company with him had
an amiable wife and pleasing children,
but by his dissolute habits he made IL
impossible for his wife to live with him,
and she abandoned him, taking the
children with her, we believe, and what
has become of the poor debauched Great
ure who brought on all the trouble, we
can not tell; but most likely by this
time he is filling q drunkard's grave.
Such are the fruits of the neiarious liqu-
or traffic, carried on (be it said with
shame) under the authority OF the Gov
ernment. To put it more forcibly. we
might say, under license TO Kill!

Feeding Apples to Cattle.

Whenever i have fatted hogs or cows
or the last ten years, have done SO
with apples in this way: Begin with
half peck the first week, increasing
half peck per week till reach one
bushel per week, and continue that
amount up to within two weeks Of
killing. Then add to the apples these
two weeks bag of corn meal. Last
fall desired TO test fully the value of
apples in producing milk. For this
purpose bought three-years old Jer-
sey and Ayrshire heifer. She had been
kept ON ensilage about four weeks pre-
vious TO purchase, and as wished TO
be sure of the test gave her poor mea-
dow hay and half peck of apples for
the first week per day in the first three
days. She increased in flow of milk
one-third. The second week l fed one
peck of apples per day, and milk in
creased to about double of what she
gave at the time of purchase. AS she
calved the first of March, and of course
should have decreased instead of in
creased in flow, II surprised me not a
little. In order to be sure in the mat
ter, l would leave the apples ont for
two or three days, and she would fall
back to even less than she gave at pur-
chase. then would feed on the best
of hay for two or three days, increas.
ing very slightly. ] then put her back
TO apples and meadow hay and her flow
would come up TO about the second
week of treatment. / then gave hel
good hay and two quarts Of meal, will

The Whiskey Traffic.

1t is not the depraved appetite alone
That perpetuates the evil of drunken
ness The desire TO use strong drink
is not natural, but acquired. The true
lnwaruness oil the whole traffic is the
love or money. Take away the tax
raised by license, and used by the sober
people, aud leave the making and using
OF strong drink on its own merits for
health, usefulness and morals, and the
people would legislatc it out of the
country in twelve months, as a terrible
nuisance and a scourge to mankind.
But is 1t true that the love of money
has such powerful grip upon our con-
gressmen, legislators, and sober relig-
ious people, as 10 influence them at
such an immense sacrifice of human
lie and happiness, to perpetuatc such
al evil from generation to generation?
Let us briefly examine the subiectiin the
pure light of facts and general observa-
ton. Take for Illustration two towns
a cNies, without being personal. In
Qty a. there are twenty-five licensed
drinking places, paying tax to the
city of ten thousand dollars. In town
u. they have four-license costs two
thousand. Together they pay twelve
thousand. 1t is not the terrible effects
of whiskcy on the soul and body we
have 10 fight. These are facts patent,
"known and read OF all men," But the
revenue, the twelve thousand dollars,
Is he Grub" Can the sober, thought
1ul, L"si"oas, .ei;s;c~s, aaoao,- eSims
citizens OF these cities in cold blood
give up such source of revenue? We

Gospel Temperance.

We want-wc must have-a public
sentiment in Vermont that will uphold
vigorous temperance legislation. How
are we TO get it? Largely through the
churches. They are Gods appointed
medium for reaching the worlds disor-
ders. They cannot afford to look on
while outside reformcrs do the work
that belongs to them. They cannot af-
ford to allow any man even a pretext
for believing that he has outrun them
ANY Denencient work; for no one
form of evil to be compared with in
temperance conTOnts the churches.
How are they to build up a sentiment
so high that legislation planting its guns
upon it, will command the enemy? 1t
will not be by ''keeping to the Gospel
and letting reforms alone" The Cos
pei includes reforms; it is keeping TO
it to promote them, and that must be
done by applying it to them. A phys
ician might as we'll deliver lecture on
the science of therapeutics to patient
writing with the govt; q family might
as we'll quench fire breaking out in
the kitchen by keeping the beds well
made and the shelves well busted, as o
church expect to reach incompetence by
teaching the exceeding sinfullness OF
sin.They must not make the temperance
reform side issue, but specially. II
we are ever to see progress against the
foremost evil of the age, pastors must
speak plainly upon it; and not para
graph now aud then-a little spray
thown out from the main current of their
preaching whole discourse say
three or four times year, solid with
facts and argument and aglow with life
and fire, pouring from the preachers
from furnace, with his fears for the
imperillcd and grief for the fallen, his
denunciations of the traffic and appeals
for rally of all good sons against it.
God calls the churches to raise the pub
lie sentiment of temperance, because
viewed at large, they are themselves
already raised. There are many to
sneer at this assertion. There are, con-
fessedly, many individual exception to
be found; but every man of intelligence
and candor knows the assertion to be
true, Notwithstanding. The churches
have been the backbone of every eflici-
ent temperance movement, and they al
ways will be, but they should now be
more than merely that Advance.

prised me the most was the quality of

rich and nutty. One peck of apples
