two large rooms on the second floor Of the
mint One is used for the adjusting OF silver,
and the other for that of gold. The floors
are carpeted, and each lady has a marble-top
table, pair of scales. and fiue, delicate hle.
Before the gold is turned over to them to be
adjusted, it goes through the process of being
rolled. annealed, cut and washed. They then
take it in state called "blanks," that 10,

for the ladies', who use it as lunch room !;
two long tables are provided, and a janitress

Penned up Pigs.

Col. F. ID. Curtis writes to the Agricul-
turist and says that he never made any
money out of pigs always shut up in a pen
and he does not believe other people can.
vet adds: Il have realized profit when
the pigs ran in clover or orchard grass
field. and made a considerable portion of
their growth on grass or other cheap feed
Now. if my neighbor who fed out of his
old corn in the pen to his pigs would
calculate ahead and have nice range for
his hogs, where they could get good
share of their living. and then give them
a part of the corn, he would increase his
profits. Well he says. they will not
grow as fast. not weigh so much am
not sure but they will grow as fast. A pig
likes variety of food. He will thrive
on grass alone when no other food is pro-
vided. A pig wintered over will get fat on
green clover or fresh growing orchard
grass. A little grain will make proper
tionately more growth when a pig runs
in field than when it is confined in a
pen. Supposing pig will not weigh
more than half as much when it runs out
and helps itself, as it would it shut up in
pen and fed all the corn it would eat
it does not cost half rs much, and the
flesh is a hundred times better food. do
not wish to eat pigs shut up all summer
in foul pen and stuffed with corn. 1t is
an unnatural and sickly condition for
pig which loves pure air and the food in
cident to free lite. He may not weigh
as much. 1t is not qestien OF weight.
but OF health and profit. If two hundred
pounds cost all it will bring, and one hun
dred costs only one-hali, which is the
most profitable?
