Hie farm is six miles from an inland oily. Ho oast get, gretultously, all the swill Ave or ohs hotels make, Re asks my opinion of be project, I would say, ae ho seems to fanoy pig growing, o into it; but keep out of the swill busmen. I would not feed such swill to my pigs were it deliver. ed free of oharge ; and then only think, ho would travel twelve miles with a team every day to get it I And then all along hie out he would be stigmatized es "the travelling swill Dart," While the Wetness vould he honorable and the epithet gratu. itous and harmless, there would be much other unpleasantness connoted with it, 811 of which could bo readily endured if here was any profib in it. Such swill is table to bo composed in pars of old poul. tioes washing soda, 000kroaohes killed by poison, rate, mice, and other rodents killed by " rough on rate," and a multi. code of other abominable stuffs. This is not all, In hot weather some of the swill would get so soar I almost believe it would Hake the quiet Chester Whites squeal to partake of it. Acid swill, taken regularly, will turn a hog's eyes almost white, If it doss not eventually oauee sickness or death, at least the animals will make no gain. This hotel swill business was tried at a Summer resort in the Catskill mountains a few years ago. The hotel had about a thousand guests. The swill was Darted to a piece of woods half a mile away and there fed to hogs. The landlord took hogs from the surrounding farmers to fatten "at the halves," Result: Soon the animals began to break out with a rash between the legs and on the abdomen: This continued to extend all over the body, coalesced, and filo hogs were a running sore from nose to tail. All died and the farmers got nothing. This was not the worst. A. few laboring families residing near the woods became afflicted with typhoid fever in consequence of the fearful stench the swill and hogs created. Hotel awlll may he fed with safety, perhape, if the landlord would attend per- sonally to the matter himself ; for then he would see what was fed, and that it wee fed in proper condition. 1 would advise this young friend to begin slow. I would get a trio of pure blood Chester Whites, and three or four geed grade sown. I would then, at the proper time, sell what blooded pigs I could ab a good, fair price. The balance of them, and the grade pips, I would push right along with feed until six or eight months of age and then sell them to the city butchers. Wheat -bran, midlings and linseed meal, topped off with corn meal, will do it nioely. I would have the sows raise two litters a year, and keep the business running Summer and Winter. Pigs will fatten about as well in Winter by giving them Summer conditions. Next Spring 1 would plant suflielenb ground to Landreth'e sugar corn to feed my team, oow and prospective number of swine per year—to be fed green and as silage. I will refer him to a gentleman only seven miles from his plane who fattens hogs on this corn alone, they eating stalk and all. He commences to pull the corn when but about three feet high. The pigs eat roots and all. A s the corn begins to mature, ho cute stalks and ears together with a cutter but still they eat it clean. They get nothing else but water and salt. In winter they fatten on the silage ; al• though some ether grain wouldhasten mat. ters then. Need of Observation, The wise dairyman is one who has both eyes and ears open, and in this, the diges- tibility of the rations that he furnishes his cows must:be closely observed by him, and all knowledge thereunto sought out. Li enonomic feeding of cows, it does make a great difference what they are fed, and that of foods that may be classed in the snore fiat of elements. Many coarsefodders contain starch, but of them none aro so easily digested as the fodder of corn. The oarbo•hydrates of the corn plant aro there• fore worbby of the wider attention of dairy- men, for as a coarse food—and cows need large quantities of it—the corn plant has no equal, and it is in this that the farmer has had his expectations more than realized, when he has a fine field of corn, and has ,put it in the beat possible condition to feed, or perhaps put it iu the silo, and fed it as nearly as possible in its original euocnlence. In some MOS, who're leas of the starch is needed, es •• ten meal, which is only corn meal ith a large part of the starch washed out, eaving the best elements of the balance, is a fine food, anmay d Ito Bell some of Y pay the porn and get gluten meal with the pro- ceeds, and bettor balance the rabions of corn fodder. Digestibility is a great fea- ture in all foods, from an economical feed- ing standpoint, and thousands of dairymen could, with the greatest benefit, put them• selves in communication with their Experi- ment Stations, and get the aid of tate Dir- ectors in helping them to solve these, to them, perplexing questions. This is the real object of the Stations, and those in charge gladly respond to all such requests for information, and reply, as far as able, most willingly. Send them questions along the line of digestibility of foods, and get the benefits of their experiments in that direction. The Difference. To fill the stomach of a mou with well prepared food and hob ten, envelope him in an abundance of warm clothing, and then give him exercise in the crisp, oven cold air, is not to be discouraged, but ie of bene. tit ; but to turn a cow out of a cold barn into a yet colder yard, and give her water from trough or pool as cold as cold weather will make it, and then allow her to stand exposed for hours to the weather—"as it comes' —and call it health giving, and beneficial to the cow, and conducive to a more robust condition of the system when everything save the food of support is go- ing to milk production, is to draw comport. sons resting on a very slender founda• tion of similarity. Tho groan trouble with all these comparisons is the confound. ing the exercise with exposure, and more, not stating the condibtons of the Dom. parisons. In the ease of the man warmly clad, and prompted by judgmenb to brisket up his pane, reason &states t but in the cow that associates 0stable and the warmth that she seeks, little exorcise will bo taken, and exposure Micas the plane of exercise. While tot minutes might do no harm, and 'muse little extra expenditure of food, an hour would probably result in a chill, and the result is a loss in tot only milk, but vitality, the very thing sought. The dairyman must study this matter, and } soon he will find that some of these sup. poeod betteiits when aooureboly measured, fall far below the looked for gain. The eow le nob a oest'iran, eopppor•iined and bronze. p'ated maohino, but is an animal with life, Vital organs and certain funobione that are inflttonood by boat, aoid and violent ex. peens, It is in striking a happy medium, ell through the life of a eow, that pays the dhiryman, Early Stabling. In a late issue of that admirable dairy journal, FFoard'a Pair/man, there is an article on the benefits of bho early stabling of cows, that is of marked ability, and bears direotiy upon the eubjeot, and needs to be read by every dairyman, Of °three, ib is too late to prose's aboub it now, with snow flying in the air, bub good advice is always good to keep and practice next year. The benefit of early stabling ie not only in maintaining the flow of milk in the Tall without an increase of grain, but is of value in the way of protection of the oow from the cold, that in the late Fall is abottb as trying to the cows ae the severer weal). - or of Winter. The present Fall the writer commenced to stable his Cows at night, Oct, 1415h, and without any change of feed, there was a noticeable gain of mil)c.-A11 the change there was being the soiling ration was fed in the mangers after milking, instead of en the ground in the fields near the porn lot. It was simply an exhibition of bho case in point, that when the oows wore in the stable there was no demand made upon them for any part of the food to make good the chill, though slight, of laying on the ground and expoeure to night air. It is a small matter, but facts bell, even in it. Hints on Horticulture. Window boxes to web pot plante in are useful. These boxes should be eino lined, that the plants may be free'y watered with. orb fear of damaging the carpet or floor. There is a sbo•y afloat blunt moles will not run where castor oil plants are growing, bub as rune hnvo been seen close alongside the plants, as the story can't stand as being a fact, The Flemish Beauby is an excellent pear when it can be had in good condition, but it is like the bntber pear in this, that a fungus attacks the fruit, causing it to crack open and become worthless. Helianthue Maximiliana is a hardy plant, of the etmflower family, which bears great °rope of golden yellow blossoms in late Fall. It grows five to six feet high and makes a fine display. Nasturtiums make good window plants, blooming all Winter long, especially if plants which have been in pots through the Summer are taken for the purpose. This' plant is ono bhab but few if any insects ever trouble. Hydrangeas which have been in pots all Summer should be planted out of doers and nut to the ground next spring. They will then produce a fine lot el young shoots, which will give lots of .lowers the following season. Autumn planted trees are much the bet- ter for havma frost kept frotn their roots in Winter. Many large planters adopt the plan of dumping a load of earth and mounding it up around the tr, e. The roots aro bben free from frost during the entire Winter. Those who may have rose bushes they deem tender, and wish to keep them under cover, may dig them up and bury them up completely with earth, either out of doors or In a cellar that is always kept well aired and not heated. Black raspberries for drying are growing in favor as a leading farm crop in many localities in the East. They seem to pay better than grain crops. Raspberries are modest in their demands as to soil and manures. But to seance the best results, they should be planted on soil that is well - drained, but moiab and easily worked. A sandy or clay loam is good. They will not do well in wet, sticky soils, or in clay. Water standing around their roots is death to thorn. In heavier soils, rod raspberries aro more reliable than the blackcaps. Hardy herbaceous plants should have a covering of manure, leaves or some other material before the warm suns of late \Vin. ter catch them, Ib pr, vents the plants being thrown out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing that is apt to take place. A large mound of earth, about Fall plan- ted trees, to be taken away when Spring comes, is an excellent help to them. It not only keeps the frost form the roots, but it keeps the trees firmly in their places, and for this reason is better than a covering of manure would be for them. Black Cap raspberries aro propagated by bending over the canes and pegging them down, when the tis root and from new plants. Red Raspberries cannot be rooted in this way, but they sucker freely and are =eased. Both sorts are multiplied by cub- ing up and planting bibe, of roots. Farm Items. Wash end 000k the potatoes that are too small for market or for cable use. They are good for pigs or chickens. Separate the hogs wanted for butchering fi ons the stock hogs or sows. Put them in a small warm pen and feed well until time to slaughter. Picking the potatoes over and removing the rotten ones about once a month during the Winter will lessen the loss from that source, Look after them once before the holidays. During the long Winter evenings mach of the theoretical knowledge of agriculture can be acquired, Obtain a few of the best books on the subjects in whiolt you aro specially interested and read them carefully and thoughtfully. Now is the time the farmer regrets that he did not expend a few dollars ab thresh- ing tuns in securing a first elan man to make the straw. etaok. The poorly made stack now covers half of the barnyard and much valuable straw has already been west. ed through carelessness or ignorance in stacking. Cattle, if properly managed and provided with tufiiciank shelter, can be wintered on eornfodder alone. With the addibion of plenty of good straw it will furnish °bund. ant roughness for idle horses and large Dolts, Do not deprive the stock of rough- ness but endoaver to save all the timothy hay possible,as It will bo high and thane in the spring. The question of roadnnaking is one which does net concern the farmer along, Good roads will reduce the close of raising and marketing cropland consequently oheapon supplies required by coneumere, The loss sustained lay carrying produce to market is a direct tax upon farm produeie—the nee• cessaries of life—which producers and consumers ought to be unanimous in remov- ing.

SOIENOE AND INDUSTRY•. According to statements made in the Southern journals, the extensive introduo- tion of the Talbot open•hearth bast° steel process in that motion seems quite probable. This process eliminates most ofthe eilioon by pouring the molted iron through bash) eiag, which is low in silicon and high in limo and oxide of iron, The silinon which has boon reduced in the smelting furnace along with the iron, apparently takes up oxygen from the oxide of iron fn the slag, staying in the slag, and the latter also takes up some of the phosphorus and a little of the sulphur, while at the name time the deoxidized iron of the slag is added to the charge, so that there is a gain of iron instead of a loss as by first blowing the charge in a Beseemer converter. This desil- ioonized metal is then ready for treatment in an ordinary basic open-hearth furnace in the ordinary manner, and the savings thus effected over the old beaio open-hearth pro- cess are said to bo some fourfold. Further, by this method the cheapest iron—gray forge—oan be used, and, as there is no neoesoiby for the use of eorap when desil- ioonized metal is used, and the latter can be put into the open-hearth furnaoe hob, a large percentage of the time required to melt a cold charge is saved. If the basic slag dons nob contain iron, it is enriched by adding the nooeseary amount of brown hematite ore. The resulting stool is re- ported to be of excellent quality. One of the most effective methods for preventing white efiioresoenee on brick walls, when caused by lime, is, says Thouindustrie Zeltmng, that of dipping the brinks before burning into dilute aoid. For this purpose the strength of the acid is to be deberntinod by the amount of lime present in the clay, the greater amount of clay the more dilute the acid. Thus for ordinary clay a solution a composed of forty quarts of water to one of hydrochloric acid is found speoially adapted to the purpose, and is sufficient for dipping some 500 bricks, and then the solution is to be renewed, Having been thus dipped and thoroughly dried in the sun the bricks are to be dipped and dried again just before burning. The additional coat of this treatment is very alight. A serious objection to the system of silent machinery running, as proposed recently by an Austrian manufacturer, ooueists, as mentioned, in the oonsiderable additional expense which the plan involves. The article, which is claimed to realize the desideratum in question, ooueists of cog wheels made of pressed rawhide, which aro intended to work in conjunction with wheels of cast-iron, steel, and other metals. The wheels made of this material are found to possess not only great strength, but, as they require uo lubricating, are very clean in operation, and, it is claimed, substan• Melly reduce the vibration of tihe machinery in which they are mod. They arc supplied ready made, or in the form of rawhide disks, to be shaper), a8 may be necessary for the use intended. These hide pieces, it is farther stated, have to be supported by a wooden framework, and, after rutting, the wheel is covered with a shellaesclution. FLEET -FOOTED ZE BRAS. Their Dash of Speed lVhen Alarmed by the lFhlz of stifle Dull. The rapidity with which the different zebras have been exterminated, owing to the advance of civilization in South Africa, is shown by reference to sneh works ae that of Sir Cornwallis Harris, written in 1840, in which the author tells us that the quagga was at the time found in " interminable herds," bands of many hundreds being fre• quently seen, while he describes Burchell's zebra as congregating in herds of eighty oc ono hundred, and abounding to a great ex- tent; but now, after the expiration of but fifty years, the one species is extinob or pron. tically so, while the other has been driven much farther afield and its numbers aro yearly being reduced. This author's description of the common zebra is well worth repeating. He says: "Seeking the wildest and most sequestered spots,ote, haughty troopss are exceedingly diffi- cult to approach, as well on account of their extreme agility and fleetness of foot as from the abrupt and mtsceessible nature of their highland abode, " Under the special charge of a sentinel, so posted on some adjacent crag as to conn mand a view of every avenue of approach, the checkered herd whom 'painted skins adorn' is to be viewed perambulating some rocky ledge, on which the rifle ball alone can reach them, "No sooner has the note of alarm been sounded by the vedette than, pricking their long ears, the whole flock hurry forward to ascertain the nature of the approaching dan- ger, and, having gazed a moment at the advancing hunter, whisking their brindled tails aloft,heltsr-skelter away they thunder, down craggy precipices and over yawning ravines, where no less agile food could dare to follow therm," Of Burelnell's zebra he says : " Fierce, strong, fleet, and surpassingly beautiful, there ie perhale no quadruped in the cre- ation, not even excepting the mountain zebra, more splendidly attired or presenting a picture of more singularly attractive beauty." Zebras are by no means amiable animals, and though many of the stories told of their ferocity are doubtless much exaggerated, they have so far not proved themselves amenable to domestication, Not Muoh of a Change.

It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar:, It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Ult. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has' long been known by a few of tho most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely sole.'3the problem of the cure of indi- gestion, ndigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause, It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonle as a builder and strength, ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and euro of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who aro approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonin, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

As a euro for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been •able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is au insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of tho kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous a,e- rangement.

My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance er Chorea. We gave her three and one-half bottles of South American Ner- vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every case of St. Vitus' Dance.
