AGRICULTURAL,
Feeding Ntviue in Summer.
A corresdondent of the Germantown
Telegraph writes: "During the hot sum'
mer months I would feed very little
solid food, such as corn in the ear or
nncracked. I would keep the hogs
upon green food constantly.either crass.
oats or rye, and feed them at regular
intervals, once or twice a day, upon
mashed food, either short?, chopped
oats or rye, buckwheat, etc, fed in
troughs. When fed in this way, and
at the same time allowed access to wa
ter and shade, hogs will bear crowding
brough the hot months, a very good
time, II not the beat,- to tato on ncsti.
This puts them in the best of condition
for corn feeding, which should com
mence about the 1st of September,
when the new corn is still soil and ten
der."
This writer is on the eve of finding
out that the hog requires bulky food as
well as the cow or horse. Because
Pork is usually made by feeding grain
many farmers have almost ceased to
retard the hoc as a frrass-eatin tr animal.
When farmers shall study the nature
ot the pig and feed it accordingly,
.there will be little trouble with cholera,
scurvy or other diseases. Both are no
doubt occasioned by errors in feeding
and unclean surroundings. One point
mentioned in the above paragraph
needs correction, and that is, that it is
dangerous to feed high in summer.
This idea has grown out of the fact that
diseases are more prevalent m warm
weatherp but the cause of greater pre
valence-of disease is that concentrated
food creates fever in the stomach, and
the hot weather increases the difficulty.
Cold weather carries off much of the
unnatural heat, and thus modifies the
effect of grain diet alone. Now the
pig should be fed in such a way that
the stomach will be healthy all the
time, and the summer heat will aid
the growth and the laying on of fat
With grass or other green food, given
with meal, the pig may be fattened
much cheaper in summer than fall or
winter; it requiring little food to keep
up animal heat. 1 he summer is the
economical time to make pork; give
plenty ot clover, green rye, oais, tur
nips, beets, carrots or other green food
relished by the pig, and with this giv
corn meal, ground oats, peas or any
other grain, and your pigs will make
healthy pork, and the pork will cost
ou percent, less than that made in
winter. Live Stock Journal.
Forty Bashels of Wheat per Acre.
A writer in the Practical Farmer tells
how he gets his big crops of wheat:
'For the past five years I have aver
aged forty bushels per acre of wheat
of the finest quality, always being over
weight. I think I am still gaining
every year, and attribute this to the
system pursued, and especially to keep
ing sheep. Illy rotation is corn, bar
ley, with clover; third year, clover;
and fourth vear. clover mowed dowi
for wheat. 'I have never missed a crop
of clover by seeding it with barley. It
gives the grass seeds a chance which
oats do not. I raise full crops of bar
ley, which do not at all interfere with
the grass, but I think barley rather
helps by the slight shading. After the
barley is cut, the clover makes aston
ishing growth, giving me superior late
pasture. Owing to danger from mice,
I pasture it down pretty close. My
sod is clay loam. I plow down the
rank clover about rine inches deep,
give it one harrowing, then haul out
my manure and spread. This I plow
down shallow, as I consider it necessa
ry to have the fertilizer near the sur
face tor the roots of the wheat plant
I use the drill, putting in one bushel
and one peck to the acre. Never had
wheat hurt by freezing."
Wire and Cut-Worms.
A correspondent of the Live Stock
Journal gives the following prevent
ive of the ravages of these insects in
corn-fields: Soak the seed in coperas
water twentyfourhours before planting,
keeping the water a little warm, say
seventy degs. Fahr. One pound of
coperas in three gallons of water to one
bushel of seed. He tested it last year,
and not a hill was touched. The cop
eras turns the seed black, but does not
Kijure the germinative properties.
Another preventive Is the following:
Soak your seed one night in a tub
of equal proportions of lye made from
ashes and urine, with a fair portion of
blue stone dissolved therein. Pour off
the liquid through a basket into a tub,
to preserve for use again. Then, while
the com is wet, take a first class article
of plaster, and mix and stir till each
and every grain is thickly and thor
oughly coated with the plaster, so as
to cover the entire surface of the grains.
Then plant as usual, being carelul not
to break or rub off the coating. It is
t-aidto be, by those who have tested
it, a complete preventive against
those annoyers to all fanners.
Making and Saving Haj-.
J. K. Winston, a fine practical far
mer of Allensville, Ky., writes to the
Rural Sun in regard to making hay,
as follows: Believing it the duty of ev
ery one to advauce the interest and
happiness of his fellow-man, I have
concluded to give to my fellow-farmers
some information I trust may be of
great practical as well as pecuniary
benefit. The subject of hay making
and saving is one of great importance
to almost every one. and especially the
making and saving of clover hay, as
it has been found not to be easily kept,
unless stored undercover, or if stacked,
to be thickly capped of with wheat
straw or timothy. Now, it may be
!"- as safrlv as any other variety of
hay, stacked aloncr raid uncapped with
anything else. The-plan- to cure and5
pave' H inis: as soon as tnu ciover a
m full bloom start your mower, being
careful not to cut until the dew is en-
tirelv off. and as soon as the clover is
well" wilted run up into winrows, and"
then put in cocks, taking care not to
let any remain uncocked of each day's
cutting, as soon as you can, alter
putting m cocks, proceed to stacK, ana
in the following way: Cut your stack-
poles of the desired height you wish to
make vour stack, ana let tne poies ue
selected that have bunches of limbs at
intervals from top to bottom. Then
cut off the branches, leaving the arms
three or four feet long, and be careful
to leave a bunch of the arms near the
ton of the pole. After setting the pole,
lay some brush or pieces of rails at the
bottom, to keep the hay off the ground
and proceed to stack your cloven and
if your man knows anything about his
business, you will find your hay will
keep as sweet and long as any other
nay pur up in sucks.
I cut and stacked last season a large
lot of rlnver in this way, and after
standing out the whole wmur. it was
found as sound and sweet as whei hrst
stacked. The arms left to the stack
poles keep the hay from settling a par
tide, and in this way give it good ven-
tilation and drainage. Try it, brother
farmers, and you will thank me tor the
information.
Go To Work.
Under this caption, the Sunny
South has the following well-said and
sensible article:
"The great curse of the South
idlers, white and black. In all of our
towns and cities there are hundreds of
strong, healthy and fine looking young
men of all colors standing or strolling
about the streets irom day to day, and
from week to week, with no occupation
and, of course, no money; and yet the
white ones dress well, and look lat and
seem happy, lne universal excuse.
'There is nothing to do. What an
idea! when we have here in the South
the grandest opportunities ever offered
tor any people to accumulate fortunes;
a land teaming with resources, and
should literally flow with milk and
honey. There is no time for idlers,
If you can't get work in one department
get it in anotner. Aieave ue cuius
and get out on little farms. Get
few acres of land, make it rich, plant
no cotton, and in a few years you will
be comfortable,, independent and on
the high road to fortune. Don't try
to be merchants, lawyers, preachers
nor teachers. Everybody cannot be
long to these professions. Be farmers,
producers, and not consumers. In
other words, go to work; there is work,
and hard work t)0, and plenty of it to'
do. lhe vineyard is large, the labor
ers few, and idlers crowd the market
places. The fields are white, and the
harvest is great, and there is work
enough for all. Reaping is work for
the strongest man, who nils bis bosom
with grain at one sweep of the sickle;
the feeblest man can reap a little, and
now and then gather a sheaf. Boaz
can go forth among the reapers and
direct them to their toil; and even tim
id Ruth can follow after to glean the
shattered stalks, and find some hand
fuls dropped to encourage her in her
work. There is work to do but who
will do it? It is not forming resolu
tions, joining societies, or making
great ado; but it is putting your shoul
der to the wheel yourself. .let every
man begin at home, building against
his own dwelling, and live in humble
dependence on the Lord, and stand
ready to do His blessed will."
Something New and Good.
A live Grange out in Minnesota has
passed the following resolutions, which
are unique and worthy of imitation:
Whereas, It behooves us as far
mers and Patrons of Husbandry, to use
our best endeavors to advance the
cause of agriculture, and increase the
funds of onr Grange; therefore,
Revolved, first, that the male members
01 our orange do eacn iurnisned one
hundred kernels of corn, to be planted
the present season, the corn produced
to be the property ot our Grange, to be
disposed of at a corn festival some time
in December next.
Second That our Grange pay as a
premium for the largest yield from one
hundred kernels, one dollar; for the
second largest, seventy-five cents; and
for the third largest, fifty cents.
Third That any member refusing
to compete for the premium, or to make
the most he can from his share of the
seed, shall be deprived of any of the
benefits of this act.
Fourth That each member shall
be prepared to iuniih two disinterest
ed witnesses to substantiate his state
ment, if required; also items of inter
est about cultivation, soil, planting,
etc.
Fifth That a committee of three be
appointed to select the seed, award the
premiums and attend to any other busi
ness necessary to carry out these reso
lutions. Sixth That these resolutions be
published in papers friendly to the
Patrons, and that other Granges in the
State are invited to adopt these or sim
ilar resolutions.
Seventh That the State Grange be
invited to offer a premium of fifteen
dollars for the largest yield, ten dollars
for the second largest yield and five
dollars for the third largest yield from
one hundred kernels, to be paid by the
Grange furnishing the same. Rural
World.
A southern planter's opinion is that
there is but one of two alternatives for
us to choose either to be slaves, many
of us and our offspring after us, or to
by. freemen; and to be freemen we must
first stop the credit system, if we have
to live on bread and Water to do so.
A very .-ound and sensible opinion it is,
too.
No fanner is excusable who makes
his field work a reason for not attend
ing to the vegetable garden.
Dreary Homes.
Of all the dreary places deliver us
from the dreary farm houses which so
many people call "home." Bars for a
front gate; chickens wnllowing before
the front door; pig-pens elbowing the
hotrse fn the rear; scraggy trees never
cared for, or no trees at all; no flower
ing shrubsr no neatness,, no trimness.
And vet a lawn and trees, and a neat
walk, a pleasant porch and- a neat fence
in front do not cost a great deal. They
can be secured little by little at odd
times, and the expense hardly telt.
And if ever the time comes when it is
best to sell the farm, fifty dollars so in
vested will often bring back five hun
dred. For the men are rare that have
money to invest in farms who are insen
sible to pleasant surroundings and the
inducement they oiler to wile and chil
dren. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A writer in the Poidiiy World ob
served his fowls addicted to the habit
of pulling feathers very carefully, and
noticed on the ends of the ireshly
plucked feathers that the quill was
covered with an oily substance.
occurred to him that the oil was what
the fowls were after, and acting on
that idea tried an experiment of feed
ing small scraps of tallow to them, and
found it worked admirably, the com
motion of the yard ceasing at once, and
the fowl becoming peaceable and quiet.
He found that an occasional feed of
kitchen grease or fatty matter prevent
ed the inclination by supplying the ap
petite Deiore it gets in a morbid con
dition.

burning a house other than a dwellin

was granted a new trial, upon which the
district attorney dismissed the case against

The Touchstone of Fortune.
(Washington (D. C.J Chronicle.
More than one business man has found
in judicious advertising the touchstone of
fortune. It uon t require a column to
make known to the public that a mer
chant has something to sell which th
people want A column is better than
a square to attract the attention, but of
tentimes a few lines will answer the pur
pose. A costly sign can be read only by
a few passers-by, but an advertisement is
spread before thousands and does the
work intended a hundred times more ef
fectually. A word to tbe wise is euflici-cicut.

THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,

MAQNIFICANT CONCEPTION WON
DERFULLY CARRIED OCT.
The necessity of a popular medium for the)
representation of the productions of our great
artists nat always Been reeognlsed, and maay
attempti have been made to meet the want
The tneeessive failures whieh have to Invariably
roiiowea eacn attempt in this country to estab
lish an art journal, did not prove the indlffee
enee of the people of America to the claims of
high art. So toon at a proper appreciation of
the want and an ability to meet it were shown.
tne publie at one rallied with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result wat a rreat artiitlo
and commercial triumph THE ALDINE.
ao Aiaine untie issued wiia allor therera-
Urity, has none of the temporary or lfwf In
terest! cnaractentus ot orainary periodicals.
It Is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and collection of pictures,
the rarest collection of artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
ralue and beauty ol The Aldine will be most
appreciated after it it bound np at the elose of
the year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, u compared with rivals of
a similar clast, Tbe Aldine it a nniqne and
original eoneeptlon alone and unapproached
absolutely without competition In price or
character. The possessor of a complete Tol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa-
er and engravings in any other shape or nam
er of Tolumes, for tm lines its tort: and tin.

Tbe national feature 01 Toe Aid ne must b

ran inttitution. It doet not confine Itself to the
peproduction of native art. Its mission It to
cultivate a broad and appreciative arttaste,on

merit. Thus, while pleadingbefore the patrons
of The Aldine, at a leading characteristic, the
productions of the mostnoted American artists,
attention will always be given to specimen!
from foreign m as ten, giring subscribers all th
pleasure and instruction obtainable from horn
or foreign sources.
The artistic Illustration of American tcenery,
original with The Aldine it an important fea
ture, and its magnificent platea are of ails
more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment
of details than can be afforded by any Inferior
page. The judicious Interspersion of landscape,
marine, figure and animal subjects, sustain an
unabated interest, impossible where the scop
of the work confines tbe artist too elosely to a
tingle ttyle of subject. The literature of Th
Aldine is a light and graceful accompaniment,
worthy of the artiitlo features, with only such
technical disquisitions as do sot interfere with
the popular interest of the work.
PREMIUM FOR 1875.

lores such a dog, and tbe portrait is executed
so true to the life, that it seems the veritable
presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. I

being bitten.
