The Millionaire.

Who is this hard working mang This is the millionaire, the man who wanted to be rich and has got rich, and is get ting richer every day. Is he the happier for it9 Happy9 Bless your soul, he's more miserable, fuller of cares and anxie ties and harder work than ever. He is the veriest slave of them all. He is pushed with business, and business is pushing him. He has so many irons in the fire that some are burning his fingers while others are getting cold. His rres- ent life is a rush from the meeting of this board to that board and thence to some pany and trustee in that and silent part ner in another, world without end, and more coming. He hasn't time to eat and hardly to sleep, and when he does lay his poor head on the pillow he can't stop business plans and schemes, hopes and fears from whirling and whirring throug.. it. He can't take day to spend in quiet out of town, and if he could he would take all of h.s business with him into the woods. He is slave and victim. His millions in bank don't bring him so much enjoyment as does a new ten cent piecv given to boy ten years old. He is i~
 fected with the mania for getting, and the more he gets the more he wants. Ii you could see him just as he is and where he is inevitably going, and how he
 going there, you would only pity him. He is one of the coming victims ol dementia paralytica, the prevalent ailment among so many Wall Street men.-Neu Yorb Grephic.

If you provide them with poor shelter and feed them on slops through the winter, you will find it . rather improbable undertaking. Give always enough nutritive food to satisfy the natural appetite and feed at regular times.' It has been too common 6 notion that tho hogs may be fed anything and will thrive 50 long as they are stuffed. Growth is the primary object that should influence you in the selection of swine food. Corn will produce fat, but it is not adapted to the best production of bones and muscles. A variety of food is rehshed by those animals, and they will show their appreciation of judicious &C., lection by laying on fat and muscle and increasing their frames proportionately. Not only this, but if furnished the ma terisls they will produce quick action and valuable manure. This is very rich in nitrogen and contains generous per cent of phosphate; it is also nearly as lasting 1t its effects as COW manure.
 "Releascs" in Transportation of 1.-Two
 Stock.
 The express companies and the railroad companies have the right to refuse to carry live stock which they may regard as having "fancy" or fictitious value put upon it. As common carriers they are bound to receive and transport ordi- nary chsttcls, and to exercise due dili- gence and care that whatever they take A carefully and properly handled. If they fail in this, they are responsible. The "Rslease" which they often require shippers of live stock to sign, is de- vice to prevent litigation in case of death or injury to the stock. The ''permission" granted the shipper ito transport in their cars and boats, or in those used by them'' certain fowls or animals, as though the company had nothing to do with it, is a pure fiction and of no weight in reliev- ing the company from their responsibility as common carriers. If there is no way offered for shipping the fowls or animals except by signing such release, the document has still less force. If, how ever, the company say, as many do: we will take the responsibility of safe trans. portation for such a price, and for SC much less if released from all responsibil- ity, then the release so-called, has Q gen. uine basis in good faith.-Ams,lcan Ag. riculurist.
