Pigs IN Summer.
+, d. CURTIS.

pigs and way not to do it. With
corn at its commercial value, in the
Older States, pig confined IN a pen
all its life, and fed principally on corn
will have cost all it will come to
There is not even a good lot of manure,
as partical offset for care and cost, as
the corn will make so little manure
Many farmers will winter over a lot of
corn, and feed it out during the sun
mer for the sake Of having "some fine
hogs" early in autumn, net cosidering
that this fine pork has cost all it brings
Grass should be made the basis of our
pork. BY grass is Included, not only
common pasture, but clover and green
cornstalks. All of these will max c
pork. Perhaps not the fat stuff corn
can be changed into; but pork more
desirable and produced much more
cheaply. Hogs are fond of any kind
of grass and of most weeds. They
like all sorts Of fruit and vegetables
Wien hogs have all the grain they
can eat they will not take to grass OIL
vegetables SO freely, Like children
fed on dainties, they do not like The
coarser foods any more than pampcred
children will relish brown bread Still
the brown bread is the best for then
and will make the strongest children
So it is with pigs-the coarser thcil
food and the less starch and sugar
they get, the better the constitution
and the flesh. The common idea is tC
feed for the greatest gain. This is ;
ruinous doctrine. 1t is false teach
ing ard helps to break down the de
mand for pork. Consumers have, o
late years, demanded leaner pork, anc
are gradually forcing the farmers te
regard their interests.
Pig pens in summer are an abomi
nation. Thousands of pigs are kept ii
them at loss, or with doubtful profit
when with small outlay for suitable
fencing, they could have the ben, fits
of grass and ground, and do better and
make the meat far more palatable.
have found that rye bran is now the
cheapest pigs food, and it is just the
thing with pasture to make lean pork
A pig will eat grass when it is three
weeks old, and be all the better for it
This grass it perfectly natural food
and most healthful in its effects, fol
either pigs or mature hogs. They
should have opportunity to 60 out into
the fields, or to range on the ground
They will digest and assimilate theil
food much better. 1t is fact fol
many farmers to know, that hogs viii
eat as much again corn and meal as
they will digest. Putting grain into
the trough and into good wholesome
meat are two different processes. The
latter is the most important Here
skill comes in, and KNOWLEDGE OF
foods and their qualities. A hog
should never be fed extensively on
corn. Because this has been done
does not prove its wisdom. If there is
no other food, then by all means give
the pig or hog chance to get grass
with it, and by this means it will not
get so feverish, and less corn will be
much better. There are no animals
which so much require succulent food
as hogs; and no one should attempt to
make pork without an abundance Of
succulent food of some sort The
cheapest is fresh pasture. The breed
ing sow before she farrows requires no
other food.-Amcrican Agriculturist

"A good story is told of one of our
professed temperance men who has occa-
sion to visit Stockton occasionally. One
of the merchants was getting in stock of
essences, among which was large bottle
of essence of lemon. The professed tenn
perauce man was looking at the stock
when the storekeeper asked him how he
would like a little ''good old APPLE" at
the same time picking up the bottle of
lemon, remarking that it was something
extra. He replied he wouldn't mind if
it was first-class. Removing the cork
and presenting him with large sized
tumbler he poured it nearly two-thirds
full. As the man was about to put it to
his mouth the storekeeper tapped him on
the shoulder and said, "Don't drink that,
it is essence of lemon.p "0h ! pshaw ! l
thought you said it was apple whiskey,"
was the answer from the disappointed
dom t-often. take-any temperance man.

Arrested for stealing.

Arrested for Stealing.
Edward Brown, young colored man,
who has been employed as waiter at the
County Hotel in Pennington, says the
Hunterdon Republican, was arrested on
Monday, charged with stealing clothing
from George Thornton and Theodore
Altvater, who board at the hotel. They
bad been missing articles of clothing for
some time, aud, suspicion falling on
Brown, warrant was procured for his
arrest. On Monday Constable Ramsey
discovered that he was about to leave
town. While the officer watched the
railroad stations in town, couple of
gentlemen were sent over to Pennington
junction to prevent Brown from taking
train there. He was found there, having
walked over from town to avoid observa-
ton, and was brought back and put un-
der arrest. An overooat belonging to
Mr.. Vreeland, who boards at the Union
Hotel, was found in his possession. This
coat was stolen from the hotel last Thurs
day evening. Brown had recently sent
several packages by express to Jersey
City, and it was thought these contained
the clothing stolen from the young men.
Not being able to procure bail, be was
locked up in Jail. A search was subse-
quently made in Jersey City and the ex.
press packages shipped there were found
to contain the clothing that had been
stolen.

curry or anything harmful in them. They
are purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. No use of taking the large, repul-

There should be a move by the au-
thorities against the remaining out late
of young boys whose parents do not seem
to have sufficient control over them to
keep them from the street at night. 1t
is lamentable fact that large numbers of
boys from ten to fifteen years of age can
be found on the streets, generally in
clusters of five or six, smoking, chewing,
swearing and indulging in otherpractices
that cannot be spoken of in newspaper.
The future for such boys is not very in
viting and the sorrows of parents will be
manifold If it is not broken up. If the
Mayor would instruct the police to look
after the matter, it would have good
effect.

Gov. GREEN'S appointment of Abram
G. Smith, of Hunterdon to succeed Judge
William Paterson on the bench of the
Court of Errors and Appeals, was made,
it is said, at the dlctation of the liquor

who is Democrat, because of his vote
to declare the Local Option-High License
bill of last Winter constitutional. The
liquor dealers now running the Demo-
cratic party propose to own the Courts as

termined to strike down every man, re-
gardless of bis political affiliations, who
refuses to submit his conscience and his
