HOgOIOEY-

One of our exchanges says to bed hogs IiberalIy with straw. We are inclined to think that editor never raised swine. Hogs in herds should not be bedded with straw Isolated hogs may nave A small amount Of litter. If hogs ill droves have litter they will become over heated; the cold air when they en~ ter It will chill them, and in the end q seriously diseased condition of the body will be produced. The only fit l:tter for swine in droves is dry earth with slight admixture of sawdust; this will absorb all the urine and not overheat the hogs. The bed should be changed at least once week.
 There is great difference in pigs. Every shrewd farmer when he had a litter of pigs used to cull out two or three ot the poorest and sell them for whatever he could get As soon as they were old enough to eat, he placed the smaller ones in q separate pen and fed them literally, but never kept them long If q pig is born runt, it will, on the same feed, be smaller all its life, and at ten to twelve months this difference will amC unt to from 50 to 800 lbs. Calculate this difference on say ten, fifteen or twenty animals, and you Will realize the importance of this advice.

A GREAT hulIabaleo is being kicked up about Gen. Grants "per> sonal effects" which, it seems, have been attached on account of his fail
 ure in business, and a subscription
 list is being circulated to relieve words, there seems to be turn in events to bury his character ss great general beneath the character of great mendicant. Grant him- self IS not to blame entirely for his losses, ner is he to blame for the begging which is being done for him; but they both have tended to
 lower him in the respect of the people. In fact, ever since he land> ed at San Francisco on his return from his trip around the world he has allowed himself to be handled, allowed lot of hero-worshipers to make a fool of him, and and all the time the great respect the people l once held for him has been regular ly decreasing as he has been placed | in one ludicrous or despicable posi- l tion after another. It is time to let l him alone, if we would retain the respect of the world for him.

NOT so BAD.

MILES CITY, Mont, Jan. 6-The snow in the eastern part of Montana, particularly along the Yellowstone, IS light, and there Is nothing to pre- vent cattle from getting plenty of fead' Complete reports show that stock is not suffering ill any manner whatever. Cattle men are well pleased with the outlook. The same can be said of the Little Mis- souri, Powder, Tongue and Rosebud valleys, also of the district northe west of here towards the kussel Shell. The recent cold weather came on gradually, beginning the last
 week of November. The change was not sudden, therefore the stock was net affected by it to any mate rial extent Cattle went into the winter in excellent condition, and it would be difficult to find better outlook than now for the stock to stand the hard winter.

AR. A. P. WAALLBRIDGE has the true grit of a patriot. In well written letter he announces his with drawal from the contest for the seat in the Territorial Council for Pinal county. giving his reasons for the contest and his reasons for with drawing from the same, and he was right, according to our habit of thinking, in both instances. He withdraws in consideration of the welfare of his county and should occupy a warmer place in the atfee~ tions of the people of that county for his forbearing and manly course.

Witness never knew of any arrange ments of the contrsct or direct deal ings with the government. Witness saw Ward the day after the failure and asked him about the affairs.
 Wards nerves were unstIung. He
 owed great deal. Ward said he had been very great rascal; that he robbed every member of my family that he had robbed us total> ly and he humbly admitted it. 'I told him in reply" said the witness, ''that 1 believed that he WAS a rascal and the most he could do would bc to tell the truth :" He took Chaf> fee's funds as late as November. Witness had no idea of the magni~ tude eff the so-called government contract until after the failure Up to tLe day of the failure witness be- lieved tue firm rich; locked over the surplus, which was large, and his personal account Was good oHe. Fish, Grant and Ward were the first members. Witness put jn $100000 cash, and supposed W ard and Fish did, but since found that Ward put up worthless securities and Fish put in notes of Ward.

TUTTLE'S New Steam Washer
TAKES THE LEAD.

1. It will do an ordinary wash ing in an hour, WITH EASY LA BOR, that would require all day to accomplish by hand or other so- called washing machines WITH HARD LABOR.
 ?. Its operation is so easy that a child ten years of age can do the washing.
 8. It cleanses the finest faces, cambrics and embroideries, also the Heaviest blankets, quits and spreads without injury.
 4. It cleanses any article of wearing apparel perfectly; also calicoes and ginghams without ex- tracting the color, and woolen goods and blankets without shrinking them.
 5 It washes, steams and bleaches the articles at the same time.
 6. It saves labor, time, clothes, soap, mendin, and last but not least, health and life.
 '. It is sufficiently large for any family, hotel, or laundry, as it holds F shirts or 40 or 50 ordinary pieces, or blankets, or ? quilts, or a large size ta6 full of assorted clothes.
 8. It is made entirely of metal and very simple; consequently it cannot get out of order, and with ordinary care will last ten years.
 9. It does away with the use of the back-breaking wash-board, also patent soaps, washing powers or fluids, which contain chemicals, that invariably rot the clothes, and are also an injury to health, though seemingly do good work,
 10. It will pay flor itself in short time, as clothes cleaned in the Tutrle Washer will last twice as long as if washed by the back breaking wash-board, or other so- called washing machine
 It is adapted for Restaurants, Ho- tels, Private and Public Institutions, and especially FAMILIES. It is entirely constructed of metal; hence durable, and will last lifetime if properly used. Ladies who have used it say it should be called The Healtb and Life-PreserUi1ag Ma chine. The Medical Faculty pro- nounce the machine a powerful dis infectant, leaving the clothes pure as when new. Scientists say 1t Is a wonderful invention. Chemists and pronounce 1t the most eff 1 fectual process of removing dirt and | vegetable matter from fabrics ever | known. We are fully aware of the preju- l dices existing against Washing Ma 1 chimes; justly, too, by reason of the | thousand inventions thrust upon the l public, every one of which have | proven to be failures. We under l take, however, to assume the re- sponsibility to state that this IS the first and o7lIy machine eUer iTlUent- ed which meets the wants and re- of wash-day.

THE manner in which Natterson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, wallzes about because Sam Randall has dared 10 come and talk protec- tion right under WstterSon's nose, is exceedingly amusing. Watterson persists in attempting to convince the people that he is not "afraid of Randall" but the more he struggles to convince, the more he shows the terror Whi th RaDdaI's trip has inspired him with. Kentucky pa pers generally condemn Watterson, and his only influence is among . rural population which reads enly his paper.

 -sWAsHINGToN, Jan. 3-New Years day has been generally observed here. The weather was almost as disagreeable as q year ago, when it rained throughout the day. At 12 o'clock a cold wind was blowing and snow falling and before night the atmosphere that of midwinter inclemency. This however dld not interfere with calling and the recep- ton at the White House, the first under President Arthur's sdminis- tratlon. It was the largest of any previous year. The President was assisted by number of ladies, prominent in society, who stood with hIm in the blue parlor. The callers entered the red parlor, passed through the blue parlor, thence the green parlor into the east room from which they made thelr exit.

 THE TWO SURVIVORS.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 5.-Two Norwegian sailors entered the office of Lars Westerguard. the Norwegian consul, to- day. They were the only survivors of the bark "Lena," which went to pieces off Hog Island, Yir> ginia, Sunday last. They relate that Capt. Albert Mortensen, of Ar andal, Norway, from whence the bark hailed, lost his bearings in q dense fog, which hung over the sea for days, and was considerably out of his course. Saturday afternoon the fog lifted and the weather cleared. During the mates watch, about 4 o'clock, the vessel shook from stem to stern. She had stranded. The wind was blowing a gale and the sea was running very high. In moment the "Lena" was well upon the bar. The waves were beating over her with wild fury the weather was bitter cold and there was cOat- ing of ice on the decks and rigging, which made the movements of those on board exceeding perilous. The efforts made to launch the boats were disastrous failures-each was broken to splinters by the raging sea. The crew then clung to the ship fully twenty four hours. Thelr hands and feet were benumed and frost bitten when the vessel went to pieces and every person on board was precipitated into the waves. The i've survivors, Andet Isaksen and Peter Tcmpson, seized some pIapkc and wore carried asbOra The bodies of the captain and one seaman were washed up and buried on the beach of Hog Island. None of the others, eight in all, have been recovered as yet.
