Agricultural Department. The Worst Breed of Hogs. A correspodeQt of the Northwestern Far mer gays : "There is a difference of option with re gard to the best breed of hogs—not so much, we think, with regard to the worst. Aud though some may think that ' a full corn crib t the best breed,' yet we respectfully beg ieave to differ. " Your humble sevant last year had a pres ent of two pigs ' of extra breed '—and wish ing to get a stock of the ' extra breed,' took particularly good care of tbeca They grew ' like ill weeds,' as a neighbor told me—aud so they did—precisely—loog, tall, aud thin, and fast withal. They progressed—princi pally in bones—finally, till this spring, when, having some scattered grain in the stack yard, we turned them into it—and presto 1 iu a few days one pig, or hog, rather, had eaten eight ducks, and how many chickens we couldn't aay, a3 we didn't keep couut. Feel ing perfectly staisfied that they were an ' ex tra breed,' we built a pen, not quite a mile from the house, and forthwith immured the earniovrous animal for the remainder of his natural life—not wishing to trust him with our other bogs, knowing that 'evil commu nications, ect.' Now, my private opinion is, that these belong to the breed that got an evil spirit into tbem, and then rau down a steep bill, into a certaiu lake, where most of them were drowned ; though some of them must have escaped, else how came they here ? "The moral is, that a good breed is even better than n full crib—for these hogs (and I know there are plenty more like them) got all the corn and slop they could dispose of. And instead of thriving, as decent porkers should, they are little less than skin aud bone. They will doubtless be large hogs when they get fat—the date of which fact is rather mytho logical. " Now, why will farmers keep such laud sharks ? Auy farmer can take a good Suf folk, or Chester White hog, and raise at least double the amount of much better pork, with the same quantity of feed. It wouldn't be a bad idea, I think, if the legislature would of fer a bounty, of say two dollars a head for the slaughter of the long-legged, long-nosed breed—three, four, aud five rowed hogs, as a neighbor calls tbeui ; ' because,' says be, ' they can stand outside the fenee, and reach their noses, or snouts, to the third, fourth, and fifth row of potatoes.' We feel satisfied that the time will come wheu they will De looked upon as a curiosity." CORNSTALKS, WHEAT BRAN, &C. —Old Hur ricane saye, " there is a great evil and mistake in feeding too much coarse material to ani mals." If he rneaiTs musty straw, or mouldy, frost bitten cornstalks, such as farmers had last fall, he is right. But we have a farmer here who keeps nearly one hundred equiniues, great and small, and many blood bovines, en tirely on chopped cornstalks, trhough the wiu ter mouths, adding a little corn meal,and I have seen his heifers leave hay to eat the finely cut cornstalks without meal. But all the stalks are cut up as soon as the coru was glazed,put in small stocks at first, aud then two or three of these were bound together. Cut up your gardeu sweet corn us soon as the ears arj jlick.d, and throw the half dry stalks in the hay mow. Your cow iu the win ter will eat such stalks, butts and all, before she will touch a mouthful of late cut timothy hay. 'Tis true that straw and late cut stalks are poor in nutriment, compared with early hay cured in cock with its juices iutact ; but in winter coarse material will supply carbon to support animal heat and respirat : on as well as fiue. llow often you hvar a farmer say, " my cattle won't touch straw nntil cold weath er sets in," then if they don't have straw,they have more hay or suffer. Hampden contributes a capital article in the last Co. Gtnt., on the "Comparative A'alue of Wheat Bran and Indian Meal." I knew a horse fancier who said that wheat bran was the best substitute for oats, as it was both oats and hay. Its analysis shows that it contains much more nitrogeuized matter, (protein com pounds,) while it has much less oil aud starch than than ludian Coru. But when bran or oats cannot be had, scalded ludian meal would be a safe substitute even for a working animal yet as a fast trotter would have more nerve, aud perforin better, if fed oats or even bran.— Country Gentleman. PicKLixn RIPE CUCUMBERS — GOOD. —At I our request, Mrs. S. Gooding, Niagara Co., i N. Y. furnishes for the Agriculturist the fol lowing directions for a preparation of cucum* j bers, which is pronounced extra good bv sev*: eral of our acquaintances who have tried j them : Take ripe cucumbers, when yellow but not soft : pare and remove seeds ; cut leugthwise iuto quarters, or if they are very large, cut into pieces smaller thau quarters ; put into a kettle with just water euough to cover them, addiDg a haudful of salt, or enough to make a weak brine ; boil until cooked through, but not soft, (a little alutnn added will harden the pickles ;) take out and drain well from the brine ; place them in stoneware or glass jars, aud cover with a syr up made by boiling a ouart of vinegar with four pounds of sugar, skimming it clear.— Spice by boiling in the syrup, cloves and cin namon tied in a bag. Cover the jars and set aside in a cool place, and they will keep well through the year.— Agriculturist. CATCHUP — CUCUMBBR CATCHUP.— Judging from tbe number of recipes in vogue, we should say that " catchup " could be made of any vegetable that grows, as well as snndry other things thitt are not ranked as vegeta bles—the general formula being : Plenty of all sorts of 6troDg spices, and a small quantity of anything else you choose, from a tomato to a green walnut, or boiled bass wood chips. (Green walnut, or butternuts, by the way, do make good catchup as well as good pickles.) An excellent housekeeper of our acquaintance furnishes for the Agriculturist the latest recepe for catchup, said to be very good j to wit : Take green cumcuinbers ; pare and chop very fine ; sprinkle on salt, and let them stand an hour or so ; put into a strong clolb, aud press out all the liquid possible ; put the fiue pieces remaining into a bottle, and add vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Cork tightly and set aside for use. Small bottles are preferable, so that only a Fmall quautity need be opened at a time, as it molds after much exposure to tbe air.— Agriculturist.

CAUTION". " To be. or not to lie— hat is the question ! Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition, Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink, And opposing, end them." THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac count, the inference is that if the public bring their binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded. For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he has taken great pains t satisfy the public 1 was the " best Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th principal. But I refer to -tny work during that time a evidence that there has been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery business, I have resumed business here on my own ac count, as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol lowing a legitimate and bawfnl caliiug for my support.— I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi ness to give public satisfaction.
