Fattening Swlue.

Mr.. A. B. Allen, who founded the
AMERICAN AGRICULRURIsr nearly fifty
years ago, and was for many years its
ditor, is now spending the evening of
his days on his farm near Toms River, N.
J. As in early years, he is devoting very
much of his attention to stock raising,
and in the November number he gives
the following advice about fattening
swine:
Swine should be pushed forward now
in mill weather as fast as possible, as
they will gain flesh much more rapidly
m the same quantity of food than in
freezing weather. During the fattening
process it has been found highly benefi-
cial to feed moderate quantity of pump
kins, for when this is done they assist
the digestion of the grain or meal given
the swine, and enables them to more per-
lectly and economically turn it into flesh,
thus saving considerable percentage in
the consumption of food. Pumpkins or,
what are richer and bitter, winter
squashes, ought to be grown especially
for this purpose by all swine keepers
Aside from this, they are excellent for
the store stock, as they will DO we'll if
fed alone on these-that is, provided
they are of a good, quiet breed.
When pumpkins are not on hand q
few roots may be given raw, of which
beets and carrots are better than potatoes
rnta-begas, or common turnips. The
last are very poor feed for this purpose
being better for cattle. Grass, and es
pecially clover, is an excellent substitut,
for roots, so long as it remains green anC
growing in autumn, but when turned ou
to this, the swine ought TO have a warn
shed, into which they can come wher
fed and to protect themselves from dew
and frost during the night, as well a
from storms.
To make superior hams and bacon
corn should be mixed with oats or bar
ley, or perhaps rye might answer, at tn
rate of one-half to a third of one of tn
latter to the former, and ground thus to
gether. Such feed increases the proper
ton of tender, juicy, lean streaking tn
fat, which is essential to produce a fin
quality of hams and bacon, If fat porI
for sailing and barreling alone is wanted
then pure corn, whole or ground int
coarse meal, is the best feed, Joined wit
some pump in' or roots, barley or rye
as recommended above.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-When the
British steamer Castle Craig swung out from
her wharf to- day on trip TO Liverpool, the
pilot discovered that she would not
obey her rudder and gave orders
to reverse the engines. The vessel
was under full Roadway. however, and be-
fore the order could be obeyed she ran into
the British ship Erin's Gem. lying at her
wharf, tearing away planks straining her
joints and causing the seams of her deck TO
open. Steering of the Erin's Gem the
Castle Craig struck the British ship
Equator, smashing her bowspirt, knocking
a hole in her side and crushing
the port and starboard sides. The Equator
parted her lines. and the Castle Craig ran
between her and the wharf. doing consider
able other damage and finally got into clear
water. The officers thought the damage
was now over, but the next instant
she crushed into the British ship
Asiana, leaving her total wreck Steering
on again she encountered the Equator for
the second time, demOlishing timbers right
and LETT. The Asiana got another severe
shaking up. and the Castle Craig turned her
attention toward the Norwegian bark, stav-
ing in her bulwarks. She then
steamed out in the river and
was anchored. There was intense
excitement during the accident but the yes
sells being at wharf, no lives were lost.
The total damages foot up 500, 900, divided
as follows: Erins Gem, $1,000; Equator,
S25. 200; Asiana, SIS. 600; 0phir. So, 900,
and the wharf, $1,000. The damage to
the Castle Craig is not known. All the
injured vessels will be unloaded and run
into docks for repairs.

The TeetotnIer wins.

CHICAGO. Feb.6.-To-night Edward Pay
son Weston finished his walk of 2, 500 miles.
and was in sufficiently good condition an
hour later to take the train for New York.
Weston has been walking forty-five days,
and averaged forty six and ffteen-tifty-
fOurths miles per day. O'Leary did not APP
pear on the track after his collapse Tues
day from too free use of stimulants.
The final score for O'Leary was
2,292 miles. 1t was agreed
in making the match that the contestants
were to walk twelve hours daily, the man
who first covered 1900 miles to be the
winner of the walk for a purse Of SO. 060,
offered by New York advocates of temper
ance. Two-thirds of the amount and a
share of the gate receipts will be awarded
Weston. who, as lifelong teetOtaler, was
pitted for endurance against O'Leary, a
habitual partaker of liquid stimulants.
