And shrink from the driving snow.

and politely says:
"Sir, vou have lain down with vour

The Farmer's TVInier Sonj.
There is a time the wi.se men saith,
For all things to be done;
To plough, to sow, to reap as roll
Successive seasons on.
For pleasure, too, in llowry spring.
In fragrant summer's vales,
In fruitful a;turan's yellow fields,
In winter's evening tales.
And though the fields are bleak and drear,
The forest's verdure gone
And all is withered, cold, and sere,
la garden, field and lawn;
There's something left and much to cheer,
And charm the Farmer's heart;
For wintry winds to harvest hope,
Great influence impart.
And while he views the drifting snow,
And treads the frozen earth
He has a home his garners full
And social blazing hearth!
And thus he sings whate'er pervade
The earth or sky al mom;
Of Winter's winds and summer's suns,
The Farmers hope is born!
Talio Care that your .Stork. Is
not LAposcd.
Teibig, the distinguished German Che
mist, asserts that "Our clothing is to be
considered nearly in the light of an equiv
alent for a certain amount cf food," in all
situations where the body is kept warm
and comfortable by the protection of suita
ble garments, the "demand for food, in or
ir to s listsia the natural functions of the
system, will be less than where the pro
tection is scanty or but ill adapted to serve
the purpose for which it is designed.
Now this observation applies with no less
force to the management of domestic ani
jjhn's than the management of ourselves,
an J our children. A cow, forced to stand
imposed to the weather in inclctaeat sea
sons, to repose on the cold grpand, or in
a bara or hovel where the -piercing night
blasts have free access, necessarily, to-
quires a Jar larger amount ol 100a man
one carefully sheltered and provided with
a comfortable stall and bed. The differ
ence in the amount of food consumed by
animals treated in the different styles a
bove indicated, has been demonstrated', by
actual and repeated experiments, to be
from 25 to 100 per cent in favor of the
latter ! But this is not all. Exposure
torpifies and emasculates the system, par
alyzes the stomach, and opens a door for
the introduction of many a fearful disease.
An animal, habitually exposed to cold, u
sually falls away. If a cow, "she shrinks
her milk," if an ox he will experience a
loss of vivacity and become stupid and
inert, and but feebly prepared to answer
the too often exorbitant draft made upon
his muscular powers under the yoke.

CHAKCOAT. FOR DISRASED
LUNGS IN HOGS.
Mr. Editor: As the rearing and fat
tening of hogs has become a business of
great importance to the west, and especi
ally to our own corn-growing stale; and
as new and terrible diseases have made
their appearance within the last lew
years, among that class of our domestic
animals, I, as a eommon sufferer with
rny brother farmers, have been trying to
ascertain the cause of, and remedy for
the on which I have suffered the most
by, and which I shall call your attention
more particularly to. It is admitted I
believe by pathologists, that diseases
may, and do Jchinge thtir type in the
same latitude, anil become more it more
malignant ss the population bocomes
more dense and the country becomes ol
der; thus our own intermittent has dege
nerated into the more deadly typhus fe
verjthus that which vre once called quin
cy or swelling of the throat in swine,
has now assumed a more malignant type,
and requires a different treatment; the
cause is the same, but the effect is not
always instantaneous or accompanied
by the same symptoms or remits. I
think it may be saftly assumed that
most of the diseases, if not all, that hogs
are liable to are produced by sudden
transitions from heat to cold; and as
do not, like most other animals, perspire
through the pores of the skin over the
whole surface of the body, but through
small orifices on the legs and throat,
which are constantly liable to obstruc
tion, and especially in the winter season,
when the animals in large numbers bed
together, producing great heat and free
perspiration for a short time; but from
the restiveness of their nature they are
often changing the position firstassumed
all tending to affot the mediums of res
piration and thus lay the foundation of
disease and death by alternating between
heat and cold through the winter. Or
dinarily the weak of the herd are the
first to die. This may be chatp;ab!e to
their inability to change positions, sub
jecting them to the crushing weight of
the whole number in the bed; or their
long subjection to the great heat engen
dered by the common mass, until they
are called to partake of the morning food.
This, we have stated, formerly produced
enlargement of the glands of the animals
neck, which often ended in inflamalion
and death. Now, the same cause pro
duces a very different effect, and although
it is still strangulation yet the inflamation
Talis with its whole weight upon the
lungs and if both tubes of the organ are
affected, death instantly ensues; if only
one, the animal may liv a long time,
but never recovers unless the remedy
that I shall presently suggest or one e
qua'.ly potent, be applied. The sym
toms where the attack is violent, are a
seeming sense of suffocation, great in
disposition to move, a crimson color,
approaching lo purple, all over the body
and if forced to move a few paces, the
animal will pant as if worried by dgs
in hot weather. If the attack is less
violent they will take much more exer
cise with seemingly less pain, will tbrob
in the flanks in much the same way that
ahorse will when exhausted by fatigue
ar.d hard usage aregsnerally inattentive
to their company, are inclined to earth
rather than their accustomed food; such
ffenerally live a long time but never re
cover. I proceed to point out the way
to prevent the disease and to cure if ta
ken in time. Do not suffer yeur hegs
la herd to gether in large lets in cold
weather; never sufftr them to sleep in
hollow trees; if you have sheds for ihem
to sleep under, let ihem be set so low
that they cannot in great numbers heap
together; in dry, hard freezing weather
lei ihem have some succulent food, such
as apples, potatoes or turnips, but es
pecially lei them have plenty of salt and
charcoal; this last is a cure for the dis
ease above described if cdministered be
fore they entirely refuse to eat It is
known to almost every one, that char
coal is a powerful an tiseptic and absorb
ent, and that hogs will search for and eat
it with eagernes,, and especially in banks
of leached ashes, and so they will unas-
socialcd with ashes, if at Cnt you will
break it up into small lumps and pour a
a little salt and water over it. I have
tried the various means in common use.
such as tar. antimony, sulphur. Sic, and
never had one to recover its health until
I tried the charcoal, and I have every
confidence that it will succeed with oth
ers as it has with me, and tf it does, 1
shall be well paid for this communica
tion, feeling as Ifdo, that no man ought
to live Cr himself alone. W.

HOTEL IN V A LIDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
Brs, Speer and Kuhn,
H-jHIIE object of this establishment is
H to supply a want greatly felt by re
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken sirk and by patients from ihe sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief trom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, snd at a rale much below the usu
al charges.
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PAKTICtLAKl.V TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
he has given a large thare of his atten
ion for ihe last twenty-five years, and
he will continue to devote to them ihe
experience acquired by a constant prac
tice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
iment. Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary to supply an evi
dent want in this city, in ihe entire ab
sence of any special provision for the
sick, bm is warranted also by the success
of similar -institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans the former under ihe care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Smder
the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated atthecerner of Federal and
Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad
joining the city of Pittsburgh. It is
commodious and .roomy, and furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
ihe sick.' '
Applications for admission to be made
lo ihe subscribers, at their office on Penn
street, Pittsburgh, or at the establishment.
