Alton, Mountain Top, &c.
Mr.. Editor.-

Mr.. Editor.-
The Alton House looks as though it had
new coat of paint, and ready for the COM
ing season.
There has been under its roof for months,
at intervals, an interesting invalid in the
person of Miss Ralie Howard, the daughter
of staunch old Democratic member of
Congress from Indiana, Hon. - Howard.
Because of the dry atmosphere of the iso-
thermal belt of the Blue Ridge, embracing
Alton, diseases of the lungs are arrested or
greatly ameliorated. Hence her sojourn.
The eye of the passer-by is there arrested
by the immense pile of telegraph-poles, six
inches at top, twelve or more at foot, and
about thirty feet long. The short-sighted
landowner HARDLY is ''grinding seed-corn,"
as farmer pithily put it, whose attention
we called to them. What think you, read
Ell? He struggles with steep mountain
side, and then hauls them miles, and re
ceives for each large enough to make, sa f,
35 good rails, seventy-three cents.
We walked through Rockish Gap, fivs
miles, to Waynesboro'. The road is liter
ally being washed away the entire distance,
and Henry E. Massie will have delight
full time in getting visitors to his house
from either side. An immense boulder,
just above Alton, weighing dozen of tons,
loosened by frost, has rolled into the roa6.
He is preparing to build one or two more
cabins in time for visitors.
The reader will remember the immens5
piles of stone, at the West end of the tuD
mel, blasted out of the heart of the noun

To Young Men who want to Marry.
BY SCOTT WAY.
Select the girl.

| Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in politics,
and with her mother in religion.
Ii you have rival, keep an eye on him;
If he is widower, keep two eyes on him.
DON'T swear to the girl that you have no
bad habits. 1t will BE- enough for you to
say that you never heard yourself snore in
your sleep.
If there is bothersome little brother
who has habit of coming in Just at the
time you don't want him most, and who
takes great interest in you, and makes un-
feeling remarks about the shape of your
nose, take him regularly the latest Puck.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper
If you do, you will hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some especial
purpose in inf1icting upon you the severest
punishment known to married man.
Go home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait till the girl has to
throw her whole soul into yawn that she
can't cover with both hands. A little
ting like that may cause GOODNESS at the
very beginning of the game.
1fyou sit down on some molasses candy
that little Willie has left on the chair,
while wearing your new summer trousers
for the first time, smile sweetly and remark
that you don't mind sitting on molasses
candy at all, and that ''boys will be boys"
Reserve your true feelings for future refer
ence.
If, on the occasion of your first call, the
girl upon whom you have placed your young
affections looks like an iceberg and sets like
quiet cold wave. take your early leave
and stay away. Woman, in her hours of
freeze, is uncertain, coy, and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good night
in the house. Don't stretch it all the way to
the front gate, if there is front gate, and
thus lay the foundation for future asthma,
bronchitis, neuralgia, and chronic catarrh,
to help you worry the girl to death after she
has married you.
Don't lie about your financial condition.
1t is very 9snoying to bride who has pic
tured for herself>a life ofaluxury in your
ancestral halls to learn too late that you ex-
pect her to ask bald-headed parent. who
has been uniformly kind to her, to take
/ you in out of the cold.
Don't be too soft Don't say: "These
little hands shall never do stroke of work
when they are mine," and s'You shall have
nothing to do in our home but to sit all day
long and chirp to the canaries," as if any
sensible woman could be happy fooling
away valuable time in that sort of style
and a girl has fine retentive memory for
the soft things and silly promises of court
ship, and occasionally, in after years, when
she is washing the dinner dishes or patch
ing the west end of your trousers, she will
remind you of them, in a cold, sarcastic
tone of yOice-PucE

GETTING OUT MANURE.-The good old
way was to get out manure on snow and
frozen ground, for then much heavier loads
could be hauled. If intended for oats, bar
ley, wheat, or potatoes, it was spread at
once out of the wagon, or dropped in heaps
to be spread without further carting. When
intended for corn or any other late crop, the
custom has prevailed of making big heap
at a convinient point, where the manure
usually underwent heating before the time
came to spread it and plow it in. 1t is not
wise to spread manure on frozen ground
and leave it long exposed to the weather.
Under some circumstances no inconsistent
BILE loss from washing and evaporation
would take place, whether spread or placed
in small heaps. The march of invention
has greatly changed this now, with the
manure-spreading carts we can spread fast
er than we can plow, if the spreader has q
reasonable start, 80 that we need not break
up our compost heaps and hurry out our
manure so long before we can turn it under.
After it has been spread, either upon one
land, or one 'bout" around the outside, the
plowing may begin and the spreader will
keep ahead of the plow-man. The saving
of labor is great and the system on large
farms is constantly extending.-Americdn

Swine Diseases.
By Our Agricultural Editor.

By Our Agricultural Editor.
Nearly six million hogs are reported as
having died from disease in the United
States in 1885, a loss of 13 per cent. of the
total number. Cholera, supposed Or really,
was by far the most destructive agent. It's
ravages were largest in the cotton and the
south thwestern states; but Virginia also lost
heavily-1o5,041 head, or II per cent. Of
her herd.
There has been general exemption from
other maladies. Pleuro-pneumonia, black
teeth, quinsy, red mango and starvation are
the other reported causes of loss. The
health of hogs the first of April was very
good. Plenty of food and disposition to
take better care of stock, have had favor
able tendency. Swine in the west are re-
ported in good health and vigor, a fact that
may be interesting to consumers of bacon
here. Unfortunately our own State does
not yet grow enough meat for home con-
sumption. We have yet no cure for the
cholera. Isolation is the best to prevent its
spread.
We are decidedly of the opinion that free
range upon the commons has been the
great cause of the spread of the cholera.
BY it the swine of one farm mingle at
times with those of another, and these with
another, and SO there is a general spread of
disease throughout neighborhood. 1t is
impossible under any such regulations to
prevent a general epidemic.
AS swine appears now to be in healthy
condition, we would advise farmers to pas
ture their herds, keep them isolated, and as
soon as one appears sick remove it to small
enclosure on another part of the farm. Do
not allow a sick hog to remain with the
well ones single hour, if you can prevent
it.
Look constantly too to the health of the
herd; give copperas frequently; their drink:
ing water should be clean; the beds should
be changed often; carbolc acid, sulphur,
soap, lye; and the like should be employ.
ed freely to check ticks and other vermin
A little daily care will save them.-Inder-

Weaning Calves.

Every animal upon the farm should be
subjected to course of training as soon as
it makes its appearance. This is desirable,
and, indeed, indispensable for the best re-
suits, with all live stock, from the chickens
to the colts. Docility involves ease of
management in every way, and this saves
labor and increases the profits from the use
of the animals. In dairy, docility is one
of the most important characteristics of the
COWS, and the dairyman who has expert
enced the advantage of it, win always give
his most careful attention to the training of
the calves. Weaning is the first lesson to
be given. A calf should never be permitted
to suck the COW This enforced habit
changes-in time-the disposition of those
young cows, which never having suckled
calf, and never having been nursed by
dam themselves, make no trouble over the
removal of a calf. They never hold up
their milk, and are rarely troubled with
garget, or have the common vices of COWS
which grow out of their natural affection
for the calf, after they have been habitua-
ted to its company, and have nursed it. -
My practice has always been to remove the
calf as soon as it is dropped, watching the
COW until she has been safely Delivered
The calf is taken to pen provided for it at
q QiSGduCo IuG COW StdUic, WutIt III Is
out of sight and hearing. The calf is
rubbed dry, and is comfortably bedded in
this sheltered pen. The COW is tied in the
stable and given mess of warm bran and
linseed meal slop and is MIXED. The milk
is then given to the calf, which is taught to
drink by giving it two fingers, separated
about an inch, through which the milk Is
easily sucked. Three meals day are CIV
en-. This is continued until the fourth day,
when the milk is fit for use in the dairy
After is, SKINNED milk warmed to ninety
degrees is given three times q day, and no
more than three quarts at meal during
the first month. The calves are kept alone;
a small bundle of clean, fine hay may be
hung in the pen, and they will soon begin
to eat it. By perseverance in thus weanipg
the calf, not only from its dam, but frcm its
natural inclination to suck, much future
trouble will be avoided.-American Agri-
cuturist for March.
