THE LEARNED FIG.
BY DOS' PIATT.
1 have a turn for swine. I might say
that I have a tasto for swine. I do not
mean a taste for pork, but a liking for
the living pig. To put it in pluin Eng
lish, I liko the hog. The hog to me is
like the fool i' the forest, nient and drink.
I study him. I understand him. I am
amazed at his Whys, and am filled with
admiration of his sagacity. I was brought
up on hog. I had rare opportunities to
study his character, an appreciate his
traits. "With due deliberation I assert
that for shrewdness of observation,
knowledge of character, for thought and
memory, your hog excels all the other
beasts of the field and fore9t. -
lie is selfish. Well, looked at from a
certain standpoint, boggy is selfish. But
deprive a man of his hands and tongue ;
put in him a stomach that will digest
"Bancroft's History of the United
States," a stomach of great capacity and
inordinate appetite; then build up
fences, shut the gates, and turn loose
your dogs, and what will become of a
man's generous impulses, etc. ? They
will go " where the woodbine twineth "
over the Erie stock. As it is, with all
his advantages, man comes hearer to the
hog In this quality than any other ani
mal. As the pis; puts at least one foot
in the trough while eatintr, so a man
will degrade his possessions in proof of
niB ownership. This is especially the
case with his wife, and would be with
his children, but thai as they grow older
and Btronger he grows older and weaker,
so the pig mastery predominates in the
ortspring.
, witn these tastes ana ideas I was
walking slowly along Pennsylvania ave
nue, when I saw thu sign of " Learned
Pig," dono in hugo letters upon the side
of a house. I rend further along that
the admission fee, was twenty-ilve cents
servants, children, ministers of the
gospel, and Sunday schools, admitted
tor half price. I brought up a promise
to pay issued by our paternal Govern
ment to the amount ot twenty-hve cents,
as I did not come under either of the ex
ceptions, and presented it to the guar
dian of the entrance, who, glancing at
me, gave the fractional bit of currency
an insulting examination.
" All right," he said, motioning an in
vitation to enter, ana adding upologoti
oally, " No offence, Cap, but counterfeits
do gravitate toward soientitic swine most
amazingly.
The choice, language of the doorkeeper
impressed me deeply. It was as sur
prising as the educated hog. Learning
uau seizea upon me concern.
I entered a room that had once been
devoted to the sale of intoxicating drinks,
It yet retained its counter and its odor,
One's nostrils recognized the spirit of
departed cocktails and mint-juleps that
pervaded the atmosphere, mingling with
the vile smell of old cigars. The educa
ted Bwine was not visible, but certain
eminent statesmen, distinguished bv
their thirst for knowledge, were of the
audience. A consumptive young man
labored steadily at a band organ that
gave us the air of " Shoo Fly," as if the
uir of " Shoo Fly " was being jolted over
a stumpy corduroy road. In the pause
of this orchestra that oame kindly to our
relief, we heard certain snores and grunts
indicating that the learned beast of
tusks and bristles was reposing from his
laborious studies unknown to the audi,
ence.
When the room was BuBioiently filled,
the consumptive orchestra abandoned
his post, and going to the door relieved
the gentleman who had expressed the
sage opinion touohing the tendency
counterfeit currency bad to gravitate to
the learned swine. This taker-in of
dimes and curious people, proceeded in a
business-like manner to the counter, and
rapping on the Bide, ordered the educa
ted pork, under the name of " lien, to
come forth. A grunt of recognition was
the only response. A louder rap and a
more imperative order, brought a series
of grunts, that to those acquainted with
hog language meant a remonstrance;
whereupon the lecturer reached under
and administered certain blows that
brought out a squeal and the learned
shoto. He was of the species known at
the West as a " saw-back, and described
in the language of that region as " slab-
Bided, long-snouted, and spindled-legs :
of the sort to break a man's heart, if that
heart was bent upon adding some adi
Eose to the bone and muscle, so as to
ring out the pork in merchantable
quantities.
He had, however, an intellectual ex
uression of faca, and it was really ooml
uul to see the poor animal snapping his
laws together with that emphasis pecu
liar to an indignant porker, and all the
while eyeing from under hi lop-ears the
noiaer ot the rattan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, began the
exhibitor. " this animal is the most in
telligent and the best educated hog in
the world. There be some pigs ou ex
hibit that pretend to be edicated pigs,
and I don t deny that such creatures
have claims; but edication, ladies and
gentlemen, to be wonderful, must have a
sound basis an 8. ti. Now what do I
mean by 8. B. Y I mean mind I mean
brain. Without the 8. B. what's a man,
let alone a liogr Why, he's an edicated
ass. This bog, ladies and gentlemen,has
mind he has an edicated mind. He
can tell the time of day. He can play
poker equal to any Congressman. He
can tell the age of an individual, bo as to
ploase the ladies and astonish the gentle
men. And don't he know liquor ? Well,
may be he don't. But just try him,
that's all ; and if you don't find him as
drunk as a Senator, why, constipate my
digestion, that's alL Now, Ben, wide
awake, old fellow ; eyes of Delaware and
my stick are on you : astonish these in
tellectual encyclopedias of homogeneous
locomotion."
This amazing; use of heavy English
evidently impressed Ben with the belief
that his exhibitor was swearing violent
ly, and he set about his tasks with a
cheerful alacrity that was manifested by
a continuous twisting and untwisting of
bis caudal appendage, accompanied by a
series of grunts that told of his anxiety.
lie gave us the time with accuracy ; and
as for ages, Ben's education was perfect.
He invariably flattered the ladies by re
porting their years to be about half the
number nature had allowed them, while
the men were made so old that the sting
was removed in the absurdity. His
games of poker and old sledge brought
down the house, they were so dexterous
and perfect.
After the audienoe had retired, 1 yet
lingered upon the threshold. 1 was loath
to ieave a specimen of hog so entertain,
ing as this Ben. To leara something
more, I approached the odd speoimon of
humanity, and earnestly invited him to
a little refreshment at Harvey s. (Jon
senting, we were soon seated, and I led
him over his lager and oysters to the sub
ject we were both so interested in. I
have had in my time all sorts of table
talk from horses to wines ; but for the
first time had a full dish of hog-talk.
"Now, my dear sir, 1 said, leaning
over confidentially, with my face braoed
between my two hands, and my elbows
planted on the table, " how under heaven
do you manage to instruct a hog r
' .basy enough, Cap, when you once
get the hang of it."
" And how r
" The hang of it lies in the feed. The
road to a hog's intellect lies through his
stomach. A low diet with a high culture
is my motto."
" And how did you make this wonder
ful discovery c"'
" iiasy enough. I had a cousin in the
show business, and he used to tell me
how they educated the animals. The
first thing, cousin Jake said, was to get
your animal that had a turn for things,
naturally smart you know. Well, 1
turned that over in my mind, for I was
bound to make a raise. The old farm had
run under until it looked liko a widow's
well. While I was thinking about it, I
observed that hog. He was the cun
r.ingest hog ever Bet on hoofs. He be
longed to an old nigger, and had an eye
to cultivating our farm. Ef there was
a hole, he d find it ; and ef there was no
hole, he made it ; and ef he couldn't
olimb an ordinary fence or hist a gate,
no hog oould. His only enemy was
uncle Sammy's dog ' Camomile.' And
here's where the surprising part comes
in. Every Saturday unole Sammy went
off to town and got drunk, and he was
pretty sure not to turn up before Mon
day night ; and that dog Oamomilo
went along to take care of the old man.
When the old man got into a fight
on the ordinance of '87 he was in
fernal ugly on them ordinances when
half tight Camomile, who didn't care
a cuss for the ordinances, but did for
uncle Sammy, went for the seat of the
enemy's breeches. But that's neither
bore or there. I observed that that hog
was very attentive to our farm on them
days, and I took to watching him. I'll
be hanged ef that hog hadn't the run of
the week good as a human, and that dog
(Janiomile wouldn t be fairly out of sight
afore Ben 'd turn up and come in spite
of Providence. One day I caught him
a waiting under the bush in the cross
roads, on a rise whero he could see both
ways, awaiting ; and when Camomile
and old Sammy were fairly out of sight,
he gave a grunt and sot out on a trot
for our farm. And he talked to himself
all the way.
" 1 went tor the hog. That intellectual
beast took me. I bought him of his
proprietor, the colored citizen, for a jug
of old rye, and them I set about his ed
ucation. I fastened him up in a box,
and gave him not a ration for twenty
four hours. You ought to have heard
that hog remonstrate at the end of that
probation. I begun with the alphabet
and figures. It was mighty slow at
first. I really thought that swine would
have died at college. But as Boon as he
got the hang of it, and knew what 1
was driving at, he did pick up amazing
ly, I tell you. I used to give him stick
o-irn and the rithermatick six hours
every day."
" And you have done well with him r
" Haven't I V That hog Ben has lifted
a mortgage, built a new barn, repaired
the old house, and put our farm under
fence, so as to be hog-proof, I tell you.
" You'll make your fortune out of
him."
" No, Cap. The intellectual process
is too much for hog natur. He is in a
decline. The brain-work's too much
for Ben. You see it ain't their natur. In
another year he'll have passed away
among the enlightened beasts of tho
past."
" Why don't you turn him out to re
oruit '("
"Can't do it; tried, but can't. All
the natural old bog sense has been edi
cated out of that beast. He has such a
hankering for intellectual pursuits that
he can't thrive. No, that hog's a goner

And a tear rolled down the nose of tho
professor. Whether this eame from lager
or love, or loss of profit, I could not de
termine.

and Tom, like thousands of other worthy
young men, works for his support. So,
instead of spending 1100 on a wedding
trip, he toon his money, furnished two

The nrimarv cause of wakefulness is
an increase in the quantity of blood cir
culating in the brain : hence, any condi
tion or cause capable of Inducing this
state of the cerebral circulation may
give rise to it. As these causes are more
or less tinder the control of the individu
al, it is important that they should
b generally known. 1. Excessive and
long-continued intellectual action, or
powerful mental emotions. 2. Those
positions of the body which tend to im
pede the flow of blood from the brain,
and, at the same time, do not obstruct
Its passage to the brain. Many physi
cians have noticed tho connection exist
ing between bodily position and wake
fulness. It is evident that the reoum
bont position is more oonduoive to a
state of congestion of the brain than the
erect or semi-erect. Dr. Forbes Win
slow, Dr. Hammond, and several other
physicians have noticed an increase in
the number and intensity of hallucina
tions of insane patients, or persons
suffering from delirium tremens, as soon
as they assume the recumbent position.
These patients have been found to Bleep
quietly for some time in an arm-chair,
but to be annoyed by hallucinations as
Boon as tbey lie down, .1. Uortain sub
stances used as medicine or food. The
chief agents of this class are aloohol, tea
especially strong green tea coffee,
opium, belladonna, stramonium, and In
dian hemp or hashish. Opium in small
doses is often especially potent in induo
ing wakefulness. A single dose of half
a grain has been known to keep a pa
tient awake for three oonsecutive nights.
All the so-called narcotics, in small doses,
induce wakefulness rather than sleep.
4. To the above Dr. Hammond adds a
fourth exciting cause of insomnia
namely, functional derangements of cer
tain organs of the body, whereby an in
crease in the amount of blood in the
brain is produoed. As however, suoh
cases as these are beyond the oontrol of
the sufferer, we need not disouis them
here. In all those cases of wakefulness
dependent upon Bevere and long con
tinuous mental exertion and these are
the oases to which we especially wish to
draw the attention of our readers all
means of relief will be utterly useless un
til the patient consents to give his brain
extire relaxation for a time. Whenever
it is possible, a course of travel through
a romantic country, or a visit to the sea
side, should be regarded as imperative.
An early dinner, followed by a hearty
suppor of plain and nutritious dishes, is
preferable to a heavy, late dinner ; and
a glass or two of good wine at Doth
meals, or a glass of good whisky or bran
dy and water after suppor, may often be
taken with advantage. The value of
physical exercise and especially riding
in the open air, can scarcely be over
estimated, and should be carried on to
the point oi incipient fatigue. A show,
er-bath in the morning, and a warm bath
before retiring to rest, are useful auxil
iaries ; a somewhat high and not too soft
a pillow should be used ; and, if the feet
are very cold, a hot-water bottle should
bo placed at the bottom of tho bed. If
the preceding means all or most of
which the patient can try for himself
fail, recourse should at once be had to
professional advice. If we had been
asked a couple ot years ago what was
the most potent ap;ent in the treatment
of wakefulness, we should have answered,
without hositation,bromide of potassium,
There is now reason to believe, from the
researches of Dr. Clouston, that a com
bination of this salt with tincture of In
dian hemp, in the proportion of half
drachm of the salt to a drachm of the
tincture, is more potent in allaying ner
vous exoitement in cases of insanity,
and probably generally, than tho bro
mide alone, even, in a far larger dose,
The most powerful and irresistible of all
sleep-promoters is, however, the new
remedy known as hydrate of chloral. and
which, it is stated, has beon prescribed
successfully, and without a single acci
dent, in more than lUO.uuu oases in this
country alone. Once a Week.
Slind In the Hudson.
The propagation of shad, says the
Rochester Union, in the Hudson river has
been prosecuted under the Commission
ers of Fisheries this year with energy
and success. The number of young shad
brought forth and turned into the river
may bo counted by millions. The sea
son has now closed. The temperature
of the water has risen above eighty, and
put an end to the batching operations.
The place selected for operations was
Mulls f ishery, some ton miles below
Albany. To that place the agents em
ployed with the requisite apparatus re,
paired and encamped about the middle
ot May and remained till the ttn ot d uiy,
Owing to the increase of shad by the
work of former years, there was less dif
ficulty in obtaining the parent fish for
propagation. The catching ot the shad
and the manipulation is all done in the
night generally between the hours of
nine and two. A large proportion ot
the shad taken were unripe or unfit for
production.
Jlr. A. Ureen, who has given his per
sonal attention to the operations at
MuII'b, reports that on the night of May
10 he caught torty shad, 01 whioh only
three were ripe, and from these he took
(30,000 spawn. The temperature ot the
water ranged from 60" to Co9. Ou the
20th he took seven ripe shad which pro
duced 140,000 spawn. On eeveral occa
sions over 300,000 spawn were taken in
a single night. On the 0th of July, the
water was above K0U, and no shad were
taken. Above 240.000 young shad were
turned loose, and this closed operations
on the Hudson tor the season, ino
total of spawn taken was 8,335,000, from
which 7,823,000 shad were produced and
turned into the river. Three years from
his spring these shad will be large
enough for market, and at that time tho
catch in the Hudson will bs so largo
that shad will be sold at very low figures,
Enough has been done in the way ot
shad culture on the Hudson in the past
two seasons to make a marked difference
in the vield in the two suoceeding sea
sons. The practical results of fish cul
ture may now be realized.
Tub Latest. The latest phase of
fashionable idiotic, vulgarity and folly is
the " Kangaroo droop," which bids fair
to rival the Urecian bend among those
whose heads are deficient where to
brain is supposed to lie. To make the
thing perfect, a glove with three or four
buttons is selected, bo that the wrist
may be as long and as small as possible,
The wrist of the left hand, and also that
of the right band, if not engaged with
an Alpine parasol, w brought close to
the breast, and then the band is permit
ted to fall palm downward, as if all mus

sent attitude 01 locomotion by the ues
cendants of the Kangaroo, and it sug

c'ARX AND HOUSEHOLD.
Original.
Feepixo Stock. Tho next most im
portant thing to observe alter cfrtai
specifio arrangements in stock breeding,
in order to breed well-formed and health
ful Btock, is the necessity of so feeding
tho animal that all the energies nat u
rally bolonging to the system will be
kept in prime vigor, and thereby not
only maintain the health, but also pro
mote the continued due natural mani
festations of tho functions of the animal
to a good age.
The right manner of feeding stock,
and its advantages, are not confined to
the good condition and health of the an
imal alone, for there is a marked differ
ence in the expense of the right and
proper mode of feeding ; therefore, the
pecuniary consideration should bo a suf
ficient inducement to farmers to pay the
strictest attention to the subject, as it is
a field capable of closest research, with
results ot the utmost value to be ob
tained.
Experiments in the feeding of cows,
in order to produce the largest amount
of cheese, have been carried to that ex
tent that nine hundred pounds of cheese
have been produoed in one season, and
continued for three years, when the
stock thus purchased at a very high
price has been found to have been en
tirely used up, and consequently, the
dairy had to be again filled with a new j
lot of cows.
It will be only necessary to state that
notwithstanding the large amount of
cheese obtained from the cow, the ex
periment was unprofitable, although it
was tried with the change ot stock every
three years for the term of nine years.
Jlegularity of jeedmg is an essential
and primary law to be observed in phy
sical economy, as healthful functions
can only be maintained by due regard
to proper and regular modes ot teeaing.
So much bo is this the case, in feeding
stock, that it has been found that the
same quantity of feed by irregularity ot
feeding has been the means of keeping
cows in bad condition, but when proper
ly fed the stock would be in a good and
thriving state.
It may be also stated that nowhere is
the effect of excessive feeding more man
ifest than in the manner of keeping
horses, as it not only wears cut the ani
mal much sooner than if due regard was
paid to feeding, but is a fruitful source
of disease, and thus many valuable
horses have been prematurely lost to the
owners, and thereby a sacrifice of the
price of a lino and desirablo animal
whose services might have lasted for
many years. Geo. 1'. Wilcox.
Colic in Horses. In this disease,
prevention is better than cure. Colio
may be prevented by care in feeding.
When sufficient green fodder is used,
such as the blades and tops of green
corn, colio is common. It is caused by
the production of gas in the Btomach
aud intestines from the fermentation of
the food, or by permitting the horse to
drink too freely of cold water when tired
and exhausted by work. Feed sparingly
ef succulont food until the animal has
beoome accustomed to its use. Water
often, and give little at a time, and nev
or either immediately betore or alter a
feed. If the horse has been permitted
to become very t-irsty, give no more
than half a pailful at a time; letting fif
teen minutes elapse between the drinks,
until he is satisfied. If notwithstanding
all care, he is troubled still with colic,
give him two ounoes sweet spirits of ni
tre, and one ounce tincture of opium in
halt a pint ot water, it necessary, re,
peat in half an hour, and adding one
ounce tincture of aloes. Any spirituous
medioiue should be carelully adminis
tered. If no inflammation be present, a
pint of rum with halt an ounce of pure
ginger might altord relief. AMtange.
Grain Bindeu. Amontr the new in
ventions is a grain binder. This inven
tion relates to a new attachment for
binding grain on the harvester immedi
ately after it has been out, and without
any more attention than is necessary to
throw tho twisting and binding media,
nism into and out of gear. A band
gatherer and twister is used, which takes
the straw from the sheaf and forms it in,
to a band. This twister is a sliding car
riage, which, by and duftng its longitu
dinal movement, first pulls the straw
from the sheaf, and then feeds it back
during tho winding of the band around
the sheaf. Tho twister contains a rotary
shaft whioh twists the straw into the
band while pulling it from the sheaf. A
pivoted oradle in which the sheaf is de
posited during the entire band making
ana winding operation, is also employed
This cradle holds the sheaf in lino with
the shaft of the twister, while the band
is beinsr made, and carries it at right an
gles thereto, to let the band be wound
around the sheaf. The cradle is provid
ed with a claw frame or pair of tongs
tor retaining and finally releasing the
sneai.
Givh Water Fheely. Horses and
oxen at work need water often. The
ploughman carries his jug of water, or
leaves his team to rest while he goes to
tho house lor a drink. iiut tho team
works harder than the driver, and needs
drink as often; yet many toams are
taken out early in the morning, to the
prairie held, where there is no water ex-
cept in the driver s ug, ana worxea nve
or six bours betoro they can get a drop,
Is it any wonder that they are injured
by drinking too much when they are
taken to the spring at noon f As an act
of kindness to the horses and oxen that
serve man so faithfully, and as a matter
of economy, we recommend that in oases
where water is not in or very near the
field in which the team is at work, a tub
or cask bu furnuhed, and filled with wa
ter as regularly us the driver's jug. This,
with a bucket, can be set in the wagon.
and the team should be permitted to
drink once every half day, and oftener
if the weather is warm. If every one
adopted this plan, we should hear no
more of water founder." The teams
would be more vigorous and hardy, and
perform more work tor their owners.

That Ioe Cave situat d somewhere in
Iowa, we believe must be a grand place
to visit about this time. August is said
to be the very best month in whioh to
see the cave, for then it is the frostiest.
In the winter this rem ah able cave is
warm and dry and free from ice, but
when tho "heated term" comes on,
water leaks through the- earth into the
cave, and congelation begins. A oup of
river water will skim wit h ice in twenty
minutes, and freeze solid in an hour.
When one emerges in midsummer from
this ice cave into the outer world the
sensation is like entering an oven in
good baking order. For the benefit of
all who desire to cool themselves off, we
mention that this wonderful refrigerator
is in the town of Dooorah, on the Little
Iowa Kiver, twelve miles south of the
Minnesota lino. .
