The inost successful pork-raiserthatwe
have met with commences the fattening of
his swine for the winter market early in
the preceding spring. In fact, lie keeps
his young swine in a good growing con

moderately, and increases the amount
gradually, nevpr placing before the animal
more than it will freely eat. With this

spring pigs at ten months usually exceed
300 pounds, and have sometimes gone as

A. J. LINDERJTAN, a farmer who resides
five miles south of town, had a wrestle
with Joe Durkee one day last week, ard
the former got bruised some. Shortly af
ter the scuffle, Mr. Linderman became
sick, and fearing that he had received in
ternal injuries which might prove fatal,
he was brought to town to receijj§jnjdical

As nearly every one was satisfied before
the convention who the nominee for Dele
gate to Congress would be, the nomination
of Hon. J. P. Kidder creates but little sur
prise nevertheless it is a source of great
happiness to the people throughout the en
tire Territory. The labors of the Judge
in behalf of the people during the past
two years has been appreciated, and they
wisely concluded that lie could better rep
resent the people fpr the next two years
than could anew Delegate. We hoist his
name at the head of our columns, and pre
dict for him and the entire Territorial,
ticket an overwhelming success.
P'*'*'
FatteningAnimals. :,
A very common cw-or among farmers,
which needs correction, is the opinion
that animals may be fattened in a few
weeks, and fitted for market, by heavy
feeding, or, as is termed, by. pushiug.-
Many farmers do not think Of beginpih'g
to fatten their hogs or cattle for early win-!
ter market until autumn has actually com
menced. Their fo :d is then suddenly
changed, and they, are dosed with large
quantities of grain or meal. This sudwn
change often deranges the.system, Mid
it is frequently soine time' before 'they re
coyer from it. From observation and in
quiry we find that the mort successful
managers adopt a very different course.—
The feed moderately, with great regularity,
and for a longer period. ... ,,,t:

One tiarky gloomy night in the mbnth
of Dect^mber,, wte .chpnfiea to be at a spell
ing-school not a thousand miles,froui Bald
winvillc,- whei'e o'iir e}-es fell on a fairy
form that immediately set our susceptible
hear^ to bobbing up and down like a
limber jack. She was 16, or in that neigh
'borhood, With bright eyes, red cheeks and
cheiriy lips, while her auburn litir ringlets
clnst«red in massive profusion about her
alabaster neck, and her, person, to our rav
ishing imagination, was more pbrjfect in
form and outline than the most faultless
statue ever chiseled by the sculptor's art.
As we "gazed," our feelings, which bad
never aspired, Wfere fdlry arohsed, and we
determined to "go hoihe with her that
night or perish in the attempt."
As soon as school was dismissed and
Ur lidy-Iove suitably bonnctted and cloak
ed, we approached to offer our services as
Contemplated,1 and we then learned to im
portant-lesson, viz: the difference ^between
resolving and doing. As we nearcd her
we were seiziid with a partial blindness—
red, green, blue arid yellow' lights flashed
upon our vision, and appeared and disap
peared like witches in a phantasmagoria
our knees smote together like Belshazzar's
when he discovered the "handwriting on
the wall," while our heart thumped with
apparently as much force as if it were
driving ten-penny nails into our ribs.
We in the meantime, managed to munible
over something which is perhaps.known
to the recording angel, but certainly not
to us, at the same time poking out our el
bow as nearly at rigktangle with our body
as our physical conformation would ad
mit.
The night blew keenly, which served in
some way tp revive.us, and as our senses
returned, what were our emotions on find
ing tlie cherished' object of our first love
clinging to our nrlh with'ftlHthe tenacity
with which a drowning man would grab at
a straw.' Talk of elysium, or sliding down
greased rainbows, or feeding on German
Sutes!—what are such "phelinks":in com
parison to those mighty ones that swelled
our bosom nigh unto tlie bursting of our
waistcoat buttons! Our happiness was
sublime, sublimity, sublimely, sublimated,
and every person who has ever felt the di
vine throbbing of a fledged love principle,
fully understands the world of bliss couch
ed in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
words at the commencement of this sen
tence.
Well, we passed on pleasantly toward
our Sally's home, talking of "love and
dove, and dart and part," until so courage
ous had we become that we actually pro
posed to go in and sit awhile, to which
our Dulcina very graciously assented.—
A1 as for us! How soon were we to be re
minded that "the course of true love never
did run srnooUi."
Sally had a brother of some ten siun^
iners, who accompanied us along the way,
ahd who was in wonderful high spirits at
the.idea of his. sister having a beau, and he
would walk around us frequently, giggling
in the height of his glee, and eyeing us as
closely as if ourself and Sally were the
renowned Siamese twins, and he was tak
ing his first lock.
Bill, by-the-way, was a stubbed, chuckle
headed boy whose habiliments "would have
made the forftne-of any. two dealers in
mop-rags.
At length we reached the bars, and
while we were letting them down, Bill
shot past us and tore for the house as if
pursued by a' tliousaud bulls of Bashan.
He flung open.the door with a bang, and
exclaimed at the height of his voice:
"Mother! mother! Jim Clark is com
ming home with Ball!"
"Is he? screamed the old woman, in
reply "wal, I declare! I didn't think the
sap-head knew enough! "—Ex.
