A remarkable sight is a band of Cana
dian Indians going to a post with furs
for barter. Though the bulk of these
hunters fetch their quarry in the spring
and early summer, some may come at
any time. The procession may be only
that of a family or of the two or more
families that live together OF as neigh
bors. The man, if there is but one
group, is certain to be stalking ahead,
carrying nothing but his gun Then
come the women, laden like packhorses.
They may have a sled packed with the
furs and drawn by a dog or two, and an
extra dog may bear a balanced load on
his back, but the squaw is certain to
have a spine warping burden of meat
and a battered kettle and a papoose, and
whatever personal property of any and
every sort she and her liege lord own.
Children who can walk have to do 30,
but it sometimes happens that a baby q
year and a half or two years old is on
her back, while q newborn infant, swad-
died in blanket stuff and bagged and
tied like a Bologna sausage, surmounts
the load on the sled.
A more tatterdemalion outfit than q
band of these pauperized savages form
it would be difficult to imagine. On the
plains they will have horses dragging
travoises, dogs with travoises, women
and children loaded with impedimenta,
q colt or two running loose, the lordly
men riding free, struggling ours a-plenty,
babies in rrms, babies swaddled, and
toddlers afoot, and the whole battalion
presenting at it's exposed points exhibits
of torn blankets, raw meat. distorted
pots and pans, tent, poles and rusty
traps, in all ~eloquently suggestive of an
eviction in the slums of a great city

1t has been noted by pig-feeders that
health and thrift are prolonged to a
remarkable degree by allowing con-
slant access to ashes, and If salt is
mixed with them the effect is still more
marked, and the composition is partalen
of with greater relish. All feeders who
have tried 1t pronounce the benefits UNI
mistakable and results most gratifying
Prof. Henry made some experiments in
this line, and the following is what
came of it:
"Three pigs were taken at five months
of age and closely confined and fed
cornmeal and hardwood ashes for six
weeks During this time they gained
81 pounds each per week, and con-
sumed 2s11 pounds of cornmeal per
week. For thirteen weeks thereafter
they were fed no ashes whatever, and
fell off in the consumption of cornmeal
to the average of 1874 pounds each per
week. Several other experiments were
tried, all showing the same approx
mate results"
Feeding hogs is a sure paying crop,
regardless of low prices, if good judg-
ment in selection prevails, and economi-
cal feeding is observed, and attention
is given at all times to health, comfort
and thrift. Rural World

be feared that II will be difficult TO Sc
cure united action.
Instead of appealing to farmers to
produce less cotton, the thing TO do is TO
convince farmers that there is bigger
profit in some other crop, Among the
new crops suggested none rank higher
than tobacco. The tobacco planters of
Virginia and North Carolina are far bet
ter off than our cotton planters, and
recent experiments have shown
that land supposed to be peculiarly
adopted to cotton will produce
very profitable tobacco crops.
This is merely suggestion, and
other promising crops should receive
due consideration, In Louisiana, sugar
and rice have proved highly remunera-
tive. In some localities it will pay the
farmers to devote their attention almost
entirely to small grain crops.
When the farmers of the south begin
to diversity their crops with the deter
mination to make money out of them,
the acreage of cotton will naturally be
reduced, This result can be accom-
plished much easier in the way suggest
ed than by passing resolutions urging
our planters to reduce cotton produc-
| ton.
The discussion Of the proposed change
should begin now. The alliance lodges
and the meetings and conventions held
by the farmers from time to time,
should take hold of the subject, and
agree upon their line of action, South
ern Farm.

1t is practice with some farmers to
raise good stock sows, breed from them
once and fatten for the butcher This
is sheer waste. If the SOW proves to be
prolific, careful mother, does not eat
her pigs, has plenty of milk and stands
up to her work till weaving time, she is
worth double the market price Of pork
at the time. BY good management such
SOW can be made to produce two lit
tiers per annum, and will improve for
six years at least The pigs from a ma
ture SOW are always better than from
young things. Such a sow should be
well fed, have a grass run, be made
comfortable night and day, and be petted
to make her kind TO her brood. Rural
