Xiili and perhaps th whole family,

and stepped out to hare a tttik with
them, using Ah IIuop; as ao ioterper-
ter.
Tbe mother was wrinkled snd gray,

lo look us ia the face. But th chil

the oldest bor was fifteen. So laid
the gruff old broker who had the
party in charge and who seemed anx
lonsto dittpoM of his wares. The
broker told us that tbe husband and
father was fn California, aad bad nee

hoped to bo able to pay Ibe debt with

No Chinaman would dispute the pur

He sneered st that, and said tbat
Koclishoien always talked io that way
when they wanted to buy. While we
were talking a part; of blue robed Chi-
orse aritoerats came up snd began to
inspect the family. Ihey opened the
mouth of the oldest girl, rspped on ber
white teeth to tee it they were sound,
pulled open ber dress, thumped her
rib, laughed at her little feet, told her
to show the whites of ber eyes, ordered
her to sing, sod to show them tbe
trinkets which the fond mother bad
given ber as a parting gift. All Ibo

tbe parties disputiag about the price
sod dlaeusHiogibe probabilities of their

Wa returned the 'earns day to ss-
eertaio the result of the sale. Only
tbe inothor sod ber boys were left.
The debt was ooly 1300 and 950 of it
still remained unpaid.
I Rave otten been told or tbe reti-
deo.s of China that the parents would
as toon sell their children as a eow or
ajrig. And I bad begun to think
tbat such was the esss upon passing
the group tbe first time. But tbs
seen bad changed. 1 be girls wer

Tbs mother sat in tba dirt, with her
arms around tbe youngest, wailing in
s most piteous manner, and, aa Ab
Huog said, cursing tbe men tbat sold

broker sat listlessly by, smoking bis

if it wa tbe smsllest mattter of busi

Tbs boya were erring, and seemed
very muoa slraid of as, now it was
certain one of them most go. Bat we

was sold to a ehildles mao to be treated

were doubtless pnrchaied for th vilest
purposes, unless thejbed tbs rare lusk

that tbe price of girla baa gone up

Tbird, have a good cloao floor to feed
upon, and never, on sny account.throw

A wet, muddy bed and 6lthy feeding
place render the meat always more or
lots strong sod unwholesome food for
num. Fourth, four bushels of eorn fed
now will produco more flesh than sis
will io December.
The fattening properties of (he dif

breed to take on fut, to convert grain
into the greatest amount of pork, have
been experimented upon auOiaiently
to form established fac ts
Ws uod thst corn, the best train for
fatteaing, will yield ten to twelve
pounds of pork to th bushel whsn fed

pounds more are gsined. When It is,
further, sUsmed or scalded, thara is
still crestsr increase, runnioo the
bushel ofeoro on to tweott ootind
double the amount of the same corn
when fed in th car, much of which
will then oaly be cracked and some

rcKiilurly, snd eaten clean, with easy

to get tbe slrength of the corn. The
msoor is world less. But where ms
uuro is so little prised ss in tbe West,
this ia of little eonteqtieoee. It may
be expensive to steam food to scald it

Whttbsr it is cheaper sod more nro-
fitable to fatten spring pigs, 1 believo
is a point that may be eooshlercd
established.
This makes the beit aod ehcnicst
