Should we not now beijin to turn our
attention practically and in earnest to
pig raising ? When was corn ever so
plentiful and so cheap in our land as
at the present time ? Not since the wri
ter was a boy,at least. The good old time
seem to be coming round again. If my
memory serves me correct,about 1810.-5
my father soli corn in Georgia at from
25 to 35 cents per bushel. Corn is selling
in Atlanta to-day at G 5 cents per bushel
shelled and sacked. This does not net
the producer over 45 cents per bushei
lt possibly might have been more prof
itable to sell c >rn and buy bacon when
the grain commanded $1 to §1 25 per
bushel; but not so now. Wealthy Cin
cinnati doubtless derive a great part of
her wealth by converting every 15 busli
els *of her surplus corn, worth about
§lso‘ into c barrel of pork, worth
about §25 to §3O. Now, Mr. Editor. I
contend that we can convert our grain
into meat at the same ratio of profit as
this great Western City has been doing
for so many years, and thereby keep the
millions at home that we have anuualy
contributed to Cincinnati s wealth, by
turning onr attention again to the rais
ing of pigs. Yes, I say pigs, not hogs.
Let us as sjon'as possible, get rid ol
the remaining ugly, piue'TOOting, rough,
course savage, ilLbrcd squealing, mon
grel hogs, that still ma) be seen about
our barn .yards, and replace them with
someone of those quiet, refined, well
bred pigs such as the Poland China,
Berkshire, Essex or Suffolk ; for it is
an established fact that the quiet pig
will, with the same amount of food con
sumed, gain in flesh twice as fast as the
other. Of the breeds named above, the
writer prefers the “Poland,” (as they arc
called by some breeders ;) yet we might
safely say that the purchaser of either
of any one of the above named varieties
would be pleased with his selection.
The Poland China are spotted white
and black, long body and short legs
great eaters, an 1 very gentle and kind
in disposition. They take on flesh fast
er than any breed with which I have
experience. I have on my lands the
True Improved Berkshire, and with like
feed and treatment the Poland China
take on least 50 cent, more flesh.
A neighbor of ours has now a litter
0 f pig g —first cross from my Poland Chi
na boar ‘ Stonewall” a common sow—
three months old, that weighs seventy
five pounds each, and the
had no extraordinary feeding. These
pigs have taken on 33 ponnds of flesh
in the last thirty days. For pork hogs
we advise a cross, but for a separate
business breed only a pure-bred stock.
A fancy price can only bring what is
worth foi perk. Pigs may be raised at
a very email expense by planting
patches of chufas, ground peas turnips
etc., for them to run on. Chufas make
the best meat. Turnips should be boil
ed and a little meal or bran with a lit
tle salt, thrown in and mixed, before
feeding. Raise pigs— beautiful, well
forned, quiet pigs, and thus fill your
ptnoke/.houses and keep your dollars at
home.

;: The Mysteries of Bees.
In every well balanced colony of bees
is a queen or what is more properly
e ilh'dja mother bees the duty of which
is simply laying of eggs. To her has
been attributed great royalty, etc , yet
she exercises no authroity whatever over
any of the inmates of the hive. Her
simple duty is the laying of eggs, and
the mother is governed by one infalli
ble rule—abundance of honey and the
requisites heat to mature the blood.
When they possess these requisites, the
swarm may be considered a woL-balon
ced one. . But the mother is neither
more or less than a slave from her birth
to her death. As soon she begins to
fail in furnishing the requisite
amount of eggs for the colony, the work
ers will commence cells, in which they
place an eng to rear another mother to
take the place of their own, which they
intend to supersede. They are aware
that they will cease to exist unless they
do this, mid as soon as everything is
satisfactorily arranged they tall upon
her and destroy her. This (hey know
is strictly necessary for their safety.
Let the que n be laying very rapid y,
and should a failure take place in the
honey she ceases to lay in proportion,
although they have abundance of honey
in the hive. —Ree World.
Colic—A Certain Cure.—Dis
solve a pint of hot water, then add a
quart of good vinegar and drench the
horse with half the mixture. If the
horse is not well in half an hour give
him the remainder and he will soon be
all right.
Another —Give him two fable-spoon
fuls of soda dissolved in warm water.
Repeat the dose every half hour there
after until the patient is well, hoi in
fants with colic soda in small quantities
is invaluable. If persons who are sub
ject to colic will take soda, they will have
no use for antispasmodics, as a genual
thing. I give soda for colic, for same
reason you would use water to put out
lire.— Stock Journal.
Another. —For colic or scours in
houses, give half a tumbler of spirits of
camphor in a pint of warm water (cold
will do if in a hurry.) If not relieved in
15 minutes repeat the dose. Give noth
ing else.
