srm, PIGS IN SUMMER. Summer is the time to make pork; making it in winter is much like running a boat against wind and tide; it requires to much food to keep up the animal heat. If hogs have plenty of grass in summer, and about bait the corn that they will eat, they will fat ten rapidly; and my belief is that three pounds of pork can be made from less graiu in this way than one pound can be in cold weather with a hog in a close pen. The grass ia cooling and loosening, aud counter acts the feverish properties of the corn. Hogs will never melt in summer, however fat, if they can have ac-ess to water and mud to lie in. Mud is very bad for hogs in cool or cold weather. It absorbs too much animal heat. Milk is a very cooling drink and almost in dispensable for raising young pigs. But very little corn and no corn meal should be fed to young pigs before they are four months old. The effects of corn and raw corn meal on young pigs ere these: The pigs at first will be costive, then they will scour. They will begin to rub againU everything 'hat they can rub against that will rub their hair off. Their skin will have a red and dry appearance. A dry, black scurf will form on them: and the more of the corn aud meal they cat, the poorer they will get. Ihe best thing that can lie done for a pig ir. this condition, is to give him a thorough washing in warm rain water or sour Milk; sour milk is best. Coarse floor or middlings from rye or wheat, when made into a thin drinkable *1 >p with milk, is the best feed for vocng pigs, except bread aud milk. Bread is good for very young pigs because it is leavened. Food has to ferment before it will digest, end if fed to a young pig before fermenting, it wiil overtask bis stom ach aud spoil him. Lettuce i good for young pigs. It will stop the scours in them. The middlings should be put with the ruilk at night, after the feeding has been done, and allowed to be in the milk through the mght ( never allowing the swill tub to get quite empty, always leaving a little in the bottom for yeast. The swill should never be allowed to get stale. Slop feed should be fed often, aud never more be fed at a time than will be eaten up at once Slop teed will make larg er hogs than dry feed. After the pigs get to be tbree or four months old. their food can be made stronger, but a pig wi;l not bear much strong food until he begins to change from a pig into u hog, which will be known by his voice. In the West, where hogs are raised ou a large scale, but one litter should be raised from a sow in a year and the sow should have them in the month of May or June. The so'-s should run to grass, and may be fed on corn The pigs should suck them as long as they will. In this way the pigs require but little care, and they get age so that they will winter well en corn. None but breeders should try to get more than cue litter from a sow in a year. The fall litter will require too much caie for the farmer. One litter can be got in April and another iu September or October following, from one sow, but the spring pigs will have to be wean ed from four to six weeks old. and fed on clear sour milk for two or three weeks after weauing, and fed often. New milk once a day will keep them from scouring. Sour milk is better than new mi k. New milk will first make the pig costive, then scour him. It will curdle in his stomach, but sour milk will not. The late fall pigs should suck as long as they will, and the sows should be fed on warm slop feed, and often. The slop can be warmed fay pouring hot ater into the swill tub. A breeding ROW should never be givcu much dry corn. She will get foundered on it.— American St nek Journal. Wnes SHAM, WE PLANT OCK EVERGREENS: —There are advocates of three theories, namely the planting in the Fall, in early Spring and late Spring, and again others have serious objections to any or all of these plans: cue grower says, hi- w< uld not plan! any kind of a tree in tlo iali. on heavy soil, for ihe trees will often be thrown out by the frost, and another says, if he were to receive a lot of evergreens this very day, in early spring, he would immediately put them out. We have had a personal experience with with all the plan.-. We transplanted a fine lot of evergreen- Norway spruce) in the month of Augu-'. as recommended by the nurserymen, to. J did what we could to pro- tcet them, but when spring came they were all dead. We tried early spring planting for them, but had the same result: at last we tried the first, two weeks of the month of Juue, and succeeded admirably. We trans planted some ll'-mlock spruce in the mouth of September or Ist of October taking care to mulch the roots of the trees, after the earth was filled in: these too have kept well. Hence, from our own personal experience we can safely say that the best titne for transplanting evergreen trees is between the loth of May and the 10th of June; for the hardy evergreens, the month ot September or October is good, taking care in each case to mulch the ground well, and particularly to see that the trees are well packed and the roots kept moist and unexposed. If the dis tance of transportation is quite short, ever greens may be safely transported as late as the 10th of Juue; but if transportation is dis tant, it is better to place them in the ground a little earlier. Choose a wet, moist day for digging, and also for planting.—Horticul turist. Flowkrs. —Flowers teach us tLe tender ness of God's character. If he had made nothing of this kind, if his works had been for bare utility, and "had consisted of coarse and more suostantia) creations only, the ten der side of Ihe divine character would have failed of the revelation it now basin nature. ou cannot come across a delecate trembling flower in the shade of a wood, so small that your heel could crush out its life with one careless step, but that you will think how gentle God must be, who made this flower in its exquisite beauty to live there, and daily cares for it ir. the regular course of his provi dence.

The Corners /tare a Discussion at to the mat ter of Carjtet-Bagger The entire Ques tion gone over—Joe Bigler, at usual, kicks over the Bucket. Pot Orris, CoHFsnrn X BoADS, 1 Whicli is in the State uv Kentucky. t May 10,1S6. ) The presence uv Pollock, the lllinoy store keeper, at the Corners, hez allnz bin a source uv oneasiness to the old settlers —the bloo blooded chivalry, who hev alluz bin born here, and who hev lived here from time iro metnmorial. An JHinoyan by birth, an Ab tishnist by perfeshin, and a Storekeeper by practis, he hez. from his originel advent here, bin an onmitigated thoru in the side uv the Kentucky wich lives at the Corners, wich thorn hez rankled and rankled, till it bes fes tered and finally broke. There are several reasons why he hez bin onpopler. lie credited the citizens uv the Corners, on his first arrival, for sich goods ez they needed, and had the impoodence to in sist upon pay. Deekin Pogram in less than two months from the openin wuz in his debt suthin over a hundred dollars, and the wretch not only insisted on payment, but abslootly sood hira and wood hev recovered the amount, i hed Squire Gavitt, who wuz then Justis uv the Peace, ishood papers —Findin that the offi cers uv the law uv the Corners wood not in terfere iu favor uv a disturber, he refouzed to sell another dollar's wnrth save lor cash, and from that time be hez regidly adhered to that rool. Ez he keeps the ouly stock uv dry goods there is in the Corners, the citizens are compelled to paternize him, and they have to pay. This iron hez bin entrin their soles for years, and finally it wuz decidid to hist him, and take the chances uv somebody else com in in his place. The ackshen uv the citizens wuz Listened, by the fact that two friends uv bizzen wuz comin from his old home in Mi ni y ( to start a Wagon and a Cooper shop in the Corners wich wnz an increase uv jist that number uv carpet baggers, besides wat bands they mite bring with em. This alarmed our citizens, and it wuz felt necessary to take steps to 6top it. Accordin a meetin wuz called uv the natives, wich met l.t night at the church. in assoomiu the chair, (I am ex olfisbo chairman uv all meetins held at the ctrners,} I remarkt that the exigencies uv the times detuandid that suthin be done. The peece atid yoouonimity uv feelin uv the Corners could not he disturbed by the influx of carpet baggers. The trooly Southern sole wuz wrung, the Soul hern heart wuz bleedin, but ther wuz a pint beyond wich the Southern sole and heart cood not go, and that pint wuz carpet-baggers. The Southern heart loathed the spawn uv the North, and the shivelrous Southern soul cood not and wood not bear to hev Northern agitators okkepyin their places and bring in with em their ijees, wich were alluz in opposishen to ourn. Ef sich wuz to be the case farewell to sunny South and her instooshens. I askt in couclooshin for an expreshin uv opinyun front the citizens as sembled. I o my coneternashin Joe Jiigler riz, tho where he come from I can't say. He com menst by reuiarkin that attachment to one's native soil, aud a desire to hold offis in it, wuz one uv the highest and holiest instinks uv our fallen nachers. He cood and did sympathize with the chairman uv the meeiin fully, and agreed with him in everything he hed said. He did not believe that needy ad veneherers from the cold and frozen North shood come here and possess theirselves uv the soil to the cxcloosion uv them native and to the manor born. Never! never! never! He hed a Southern heart and a Southern sole, and he wood never consent to be crowd ed out by tbem alien to us. He had drawd up resolooshens which be begged to submit, viz: Rexolced, That the native born citizens uv the Contedrit X Roads, wich is in the State uv Kentucky, denounce ez disturbers, inter lopers Bml carpet-baggers wich can't be toler ated. all these within her borders wich wuz not born there. Reunited, That when sich a person ez is contemplated in the above resolution holds an offis or asks for one, bis presence is per tikelerly unsufferable Hesoleed, That we do to wunst clean out uv the Corners all sich persons, quietly ef possi ble, but by force ef needs be. The resolooshens struck the citizens favor ably, and they wnz aboiD to pass em, Bigler's niggers uv course all votin for em, when an idee struck me. I saw the strategy uv the detestable wretch to wunst. It wuz me he wuz aimin at. I wuz the mark uv his infer nal mashenaahens. I remembered, Tor the first time in four years, that I wuz not a na tive uv Kentucky; that I wuz a Northner, and that I had come to Kentucky an advencherer! In agony 1 arose and protested, but too late 1 The resoloosben passed yoonanimusly, and Joe Biglcr stood griiiin at me like a feend. "Now ! sed he, "now that I kin act by authority; now that I kin wonst more act. in accordance with the wishes uv my fellow-citi zens, from whom I bev bin so long unhappily separated. I perpose to go for a carpet-bagger. Parson, your time hez come !" And the wretch made for me vishusly, and bed me by the throte in less than a second. Immejitiy Bascom and Pennipaeker, Me- Pelter, and the rett interfered and dragged the villin away. "Wat does this mean ?" they as'st. "Why I this assault 7' "Why 1 Isn't the Parson afore us a carpet bagger ?" askt Bigler. "Wuz he born at the Comers ? Ilez he a rite to stand on the soil uv Kentucky and say, thank Uevin I too am a Kentuckiau ! Possibly I may hev misun derstood the tenor uv the resolushens wich I writ, and wich yoo passed. Kfso forgive my zeal." "But Josef," said Deekin Pogram, "the Parson is not, accorc in to our idee, a carpet bagger." "Too troo," said Bigler in repdy, "be hed no carpet bag when he came-" "That isn't precisely wat I mean. The Parson is a Constwshnel Democrat. He agrees with us in sertiment, —and" "A lite breaks in onto me," remarks Big ler. "I see a distinkshen. We denounce men ez carpet-baggers and interlopers and sich, not beeoz tbey are carpet baggers wnd interlopers, but beeoz they doot interlope ac cordia to your noshens. The Parson isnt objectionable to the Corners, beeoz the Par son kin punish ez much sod corn whiskey ez any uv yoo, and votes the Demokr&tic ticket with fearful regularity; Pollock is objec tionable beeoz lie dont do these things and happens to be somwot Abbsneo in his ten dencies. Thank the lord 1 now understand wat carpet-bagger is. Parson, I beg par don for my violence, and I move this reso looshen ez a substitute for the one yoo so in" considerately passed." I'etolred, That while the citizens uv the Corners beleeve in perfect freedom of thot and speech, and desire it' above all things, they nevertheless view with alarm the comiu hither uv Northerners who are Hepubiikins and wont paternize Bascom, and we pledge ourselves to bust the heads uv sich. Rexoh-ed, That we bust the heads only uv distnrbin carpet-baggers. Rtsolted. That all Northern Hepubiikins comin here is carpet baggers, and all Nor thern Dimokrats is not. "This," sed Josef, makes the matter plain to the dullest comprehension. Let *eui pass. I objected, but Bigler, stubborn ez a pair uv mules, insisted, and ez by tbis time the church wuz half full uv Diggers, wieh he in sisted shood vote ez they wuz Dot only native ' rn Keotuckiarrs. bat many uv 'em hed the best blood nv Kentucky runnin in their veins, it wuz passed over our heads and the meetin adjourned, Bigler and Pollock, fullered by their adherents, goin off in high glee. That cuss seems to take a delite in spilin every thing that the rest uv us undertake to do. Ther's many short corners in Ditnocrisy that must be tnrned skillfully, and it's awkward to hev a man like him bustin thro 'em like a bull in a china shop. But he can't live alluz. PKTHOI.EUU Y.

It is tbe vital principle of the Pine Tree, ob- j tained by a peculiar process in the distillation of i the tar, by which its highest medical properties ! are retained. It is the only safe-gourd and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. It strengthens tbe debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expelf from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on tbe lungs. It disolves the mucus or phlegm which stop* the air passage of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the irritate i surface of the langs and throat, penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing inflaination. It is the result of years of study and experi ment. and it is offered to the afflicted, with the positive assurance of its power to cure the follow ing diseases, if the patient has not too long delay ed a resort to the means of cure : Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma.

Most Throat aud Lung Remedies are com posed of anodynes, which allay the cough for awhile, but by their constringing effects, the fibres become hardened, and the unhealthy fluids coagu late and are retained in the system, causing dis ease beyond the control of onr most eminent phy sicians. 3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assist ants, are preferable. l*ecause they remove the causes of irritation of the mucous membrane and t>ronchiul tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw off tbe unhealthy secretions, and purify the blood, thus scientifically making the cure perfect. / tr.

Thin hair is thickened, failing hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cure! oy its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are destroyed* or the glands atrophied and decayed. Hut such as remain can be saved fur usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldoess. Free from those deleterious substances which make gome preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can ionly benefit but not harm it. If wanted mere for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found fo desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C. AYER A CO., Pbacth At.
