Many wore the encounters which Lu- ther said he had with the devil. Once as he was writing ill his cell, and the devil came, Luther watched him, and threw the inkstand at his head. The devil van- i5hcd but not 50 the ink, which marks the walls of the famous cell unto this day.

 Learn hence that-the inkstand is a power. Its contents when used in writ ing sermons and tracts and religious books have amazing force. Signs of its power are visible all around Us and when this power becomes wholly sanctified by having the pen and the press tributary to the cause of Christ, Satan will be so crip- pied that We shall have little to fear from him.

Southern Plantation: In
the South the people use more
swine flesh as an article of
diet than in any other part
of the world, yet since the
war there are many farmers
that make no effort to raise
their own pork, bacon and
lard. There is no kind Of
stock that increases 30 last
rs hogs, or that are easier
RAISED, if we arc prepared for
it. To be prepared, however,


requires some time and prep
aration. In new countries
most people depend on
ON the natural range and use
the old scrub stock of hogs,


and we frequently hea, old
farmerssay thatthere ismore
in the corn than in the blood
of the hog. Now, we happen


to know t'',at with all their
experience, these men are
mistaken. We have tried
both kinds and our firm con-
viction is that it will cost
twice as much for a farmer
to raise and fatten his pork


from the common scrub stock
as it will from some of the
improved breeds. So great
is onr confidence in this that
we have had sent us from
Tennessee, some Berkshire
pigs that cost us twenty dolls
lars each, bnt we think they
are worth twice that sum.

FEW men who handle horses give prop
er attention to the feet and legs. Espe-
ciallyssis this the case on farms. Much
time is spent of a morning in rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the
feet examined and properly cared for.
Now, be it known that the feet OF horse
require more care than the body. They
need ten times as much, for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse. All
the grooming that can be done won't
avail anything if the horse is forced TO
stand where his feet will be filthy. In
this case the feet will become disordered,

In writing TO the American Farmer. l..
A. Hansen, OF Mississippi, remarks;


The appropriations for agricultural col
leges all over the United States, with very
few and rare exceptions, have been mis-
appropriated, and most of them used TO
bolster up sickly institutions OF learning
by adding the agricultural department
TO theD institutions, making this depart
ment entirely subordinate and totally
insufficient for the wants for which the
donation wss made. This is one of the
reasons why the agricultural colleges OF
the United States, n, a rule, are failures.
Another reason is, that the majority of
those institutions do not consider manual
labor necessary aye many think it
adverse to liberty and justice to compel
the students to work after they pay lor
their board and tuition.


The misconstruction of liberty has
wrought many evils in our country, and
here is one of them. To what doe. all
the theoretical teaching amount, if not
sustained by demonstrative practice
And, how is thorough practice to be
acquired, ii not obtained by actually
doing the work? How is farmer to
instruct his hands and direct bis work to
be properly done it he is not able TO
perform 1t himself and by actual deed
show them?


Mr.. Editor, let il be well and distinctly
understood THAT no agricultural col
lege can be success, ~ such, without
proper practical instruction in manual
laborl"


BY perseverance, and industry practice
alone can succeed; theory by itself,
without practice, cannot!
