(The .garmtt'* Jjcpavtmcnt, Killing Hogs. Tho following is contributed for the G-ermantown Telegraph : Killing hogs is a business in which the whole commnnity is interested, and perhaps n small proportion ac quainted with. It is term'd "butch ering," and often carried on in butch ering style, while it ia a business wor thy of being conducted in a decent and scientific way. I do not pro pose going into a long programme of now to catch a hog, and how to hold him, kc. &c., but to throw out a few hints. Do not suffer the hog to be run and worried by men, boys, and dogs, getting his blood and flesh heated, just before, he is killed. I beleive this is one cause of meat spoiling. Sometimes we drive a hog or two to a neighbor's, so as to "kill together, as it is termed, making upcyjit' the same force, same fire and other fix ings ; and wc have known the hams and shoulders of hogs thus driven to come out a little short before the next 'summer was ov r. Let the hogs be killed with as lit tle Ti >i e. and worriment, and excite ment as possible. A Jerseyman has one man togo into the pen, selects bis fust victim, and shoots him, or with a broad-faced hammer (like -a phot moker's hammer,) knocks down the hog, w hen other men come imme di: t'.:ly and stick, others drag out, ami goto scalding, and so on, with a huge number of hogs. " Seal ting machines have become verv common, and arc a good institu tion ; but everybody has not got one r rid still use tubs. 1 like the tub, 1 want nothing better for ordinary li 1 ; but I want a rope ar.d tackle, j •••id one or two hands to help work l!; hog. I wou.d riot allow a hog I i • iii o hot water is a • ii of life in him ; but uhen dead, ■ ;.iako an opening to the gambrail ! Strings and hook in, hoist the hog, and dip liiin head and shoulders into [ the scald ;do not li t him remain more I than a second or two. lest his hair " setshoist him and air him, and if needful, dip bin again and again till done ; then hook into the lower jaw, and scald the hinder parts. I like slow scalds the best, as less like ly to '"set the hair." while the hind puts are getting scalded the face may be cleaned. Too little attention is generally given to cleaning the head, as also the feet, leaving them for the women to worry over, by the hour in some cold out-kitchen. As soon as the hog is hung up and wash ed off, let the head be taken off, and set upon a barrel or block, and regu larly shaved and cleaned. And now while speaking of the head, I want to say how 1 cut up a bend. I lay it on its side ami take off the jowl (or lower jaw) 1 then Saw down across the face, just above the eyes, but careful to run into the eye sockets, and on through, leaving the eyeballs with* the snout end, so that there Is no farther trouble with gouging the eyes out of the face-piece; then without farther separation of the parts, starting between the ears ; saw up and down wise, not caring to extend farther down towards the snout than to the saw-mark across the face, but clean through at the other end. Now having clone with, the ears for handles 1 cut them off, then take out the brains for pickling j —skin the snout, a*d take off' the j flesh for scrapple, and throw the na-! sal organs away The faces are to be j corned. I use a saw but .never an j axe in cutting up a hog, consequent- J Iv the meat is clear of splinters and ; chips of bones. In " chinning a hog" i to cool I saw down the ribs instead of hacking them with a hatchet.—A small si/,oil hook flattened answers very well for taking off" the hoofs and toe nails of u porker; or you may use a pair of pinchers. BUTCHER. Hacks Ci ii.ntj/, Oct., 1868. FATTEN 1M; CATTLE A.NU SHEEP.— Mr Saunders read a paper bearing upon this subject, before the Dorces ter (Eng.) Farmers' Club, in which he expressed the opinio •, from his own practice and experiments, that tak ing " beasts" (or bullocks, as we call ti: m.) four or five years old, and sii 'i ji of two years old and feeding ILK ID under equal conditions of food, v.i'.vmth at\d shelter, six sheep are about, an equivalant for one bullock, both in the consumption of food and the profit yielded. As to feeding, he saiil: •• Beasts thrive better when fed on mixed kinds of food. Instead of giving them the full value of cake, give them say, one-half in cake, the other half in meal, with due consid eration to the relative market value ol' the two. Then again with roots, —Swed?s, in the tjurly part of the winter, are as good, and perhaps better for weight) than Man golds, Uit in the spring 1 prefer Man golds instead of Swedes for bullocks. Sheep also better with a mix ture of Cake and com together than with cake alone." liut the general preference of the speaker, as well as those who follow ed him in the discussion, was evident ly in favor of feediug sheep rather than bulloekß—having reference specially to the light land farms of the district. you desire to have your swine \ • gli heavy, tie a string around a fore-leg and lead them to the scale. They will then be pijj led ! PRESERVATION OF EGGS. —A wri ter in the Boston Cultivator says:— " The best method I know of to pre serve eggs, is to fill the pores of the shell with fresh, clean lard, so as to exclude all the air. It is my opin ion that this simple and easy method is preferable to any other now in use. —Some put them in lime-water; some lay them down in salt, anil some put them in sawdust. But the lime cooks them, so that they have a dried ap pearance ; salt has a similer effect ; while eggs saturated with lard, as far as my experience goes, open fresh and nice. In Paris however, where they understand these things thoroughly, eggs, are preserved by immersion in hot water as follows: A kettle of boiling water is prepared a dozen eggs are put into the kettle, left there for about a minute, and then withdrawn. 4Sy this means a thin layer of the egg becomes coagu lated, and forms on the interior sur face of the shell a sort of coating, which opposes itself to the evapora tion of the substance of the egg, and consequently to the contact of the air, which rushes to fill the vacuum left by the evaporation." PLANTING. —The general impres sion in regard to deciduaus trees, or those which shed their leaves in Au tumn, is in favor of fall planting, tho' in all cases the ground should be well drained. However circumstan ces should control the actions of the planter. On rolling lands, with gravelly soils, Fall planting is ev idently to be preferred, as the rains and snows of Winter settle tho earth firmly about the roots, enabling the young fibres to strike rapidly into the moist soil jn Spring, and thus more fully withstand the droughts of Sum mer. If soils are flat, undrained, or retentive, Spring planting should be preferred, though it should not be attempted until the soil had become dry and mellow. As there is no cer tainty when it will be in this condi tion, there is, as a general thing, more risk in Spring than in fall plan ting. For this lattitude, Spring plant ing is to be preferred for evergreens, beg nning about the middle of April. —C'ulturist. Do CATTLE HEQUIIIE SALT ?—lt has been questioned by many agri cultural writers whether stocks act ually require salt, either alone or in connection with their food ; wheth er it is roally one of the necessaries of life or simply a luxury, to be used or let alone as convenience may re quire. Prof. Johnston, a Scotch writer, referring to the subject says : " We know why the animal craves salt,, and why it ultimately falls into disease if salt is for a time witheld Upwards of half the saline matter of the blood (57 per cent) consists of common salt; and as this is partly discharged every day through the skin and the kidneys, the necessity of continued supplies of it to tho body becomes obvious. The bile also contains soda as a spe cial indispensiblo constituent, and so do all the cartilages of the body. Therefore, if the supply of salt be stinted, neither will the bile be able properly to assist tho digestion, nor the cartilages be built up again as they naturally waste. And when we consid er it to be a fact that without sale man would miserably perish ; as among horri ble punishments, entailing cortaiu death, that of feeding culprits, on saltlcss food is said to have prevailed in barbarous times, wc may become partially convinc ed at least of the necessity of feeding salt to our stock —that it is one of the necessaries as well as one of the luxuries of life for man and beast; and it should be profusely provided at short intervals, in proper places, if it cannot be kept by them continually, so that each and every animal may satisfy the demands ot his nature. Then it shall not be said of us that while our pudding is always well seasoned and salted, our stock are allowed to suffer for want of the same ingredient, which is as truly necessary for their food as for ours.— l. If. Sauborn in Genesee Farmer. fcjp A statement has been issued by tho Agricultural Department, showing the amount of crops for the last three years, including the present j'car, showing the proportionate ratio of increase and de crease of each crop over or under each year. The wheat crop for 1864 turns out nineteen millions of bushels less than it was in lSGii. and twenty-one millions less thau in 1802. In oats there is an in crease of three millions of bushels over 1803, and five millions of bushels over the year 1802. In corn tnere is an in crease of seventy-nine millions of bush els over last year, and a decrease of fifty six millions of bushels from the year of 1842. Potatoes are four millions of bush els less this year than last year, and thir teen millions less than in 1802. Buck wheat remains about the same for three years. The decrease iu the tobacco crop is seveuty millions of pounds from last year, but there is an increase of some sixty millions of pounds over the year 1802. A detailed statement of the above facts in about to be issued by the Agricul ural Bureau. How TO LEAD ANIMALS.—The horse, cow, calves, and sheep, may be led by a sliping noose and fastening it to the lower jaw, passing the rope (which must be small) around the neck and through the nose on the jaw. It is a very easy method of leading a sheep, not obliged togo behind and " push." Atter once pulling, the sheep will follow right along with no trouble. It costs Dothing extra.

The New Yob k IT.i dunk, first issued April 10, lR4f, h: Thousand subscribers and regu lar pui chafers—an excels of «' least Fifty Thousand over tho eof any rival. Ami ibis unprecedented currency it has ichiee end we have at least measurably attained; for no other newsp..per exists : n America or Europe which is habitually . end by nearly so many fitrmers and their fam ilies as is The Trim 'Nr. io-day. We *halllal>orb> increio-e both »lie number and ie satisfaction of this by far the most numerous class of its pations. During tiie dkistence of the Whig party, this paper supported fhat party, though always sympathizing with the more liberal, progresnive. Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new issues iiii&olvi lor transformed old organi zations through flu; spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free States against.the repudiation of the Mosoiui Rest/iction, The Tribune heartiiy participated in that niovement, and was known as Republican. VShen tlm long ntuolderiiig conspiracy to divide and destroy our oountry or reduce It entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt trens- n ami rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance t«. this con spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, mid de voted all its energies and efforts to the maintenance of our Union. In every great controversy which has divided our country. It has been found on that side which net u rdJy commands the sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the Jest. •Ardently desiring and ttrivlnir for ihe early and eml Ti ring adjusffnent of our National distractions, The Tribune leave* the time, the nature and (he conditions of that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully in suthority, con tiding in their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarrass them even by poMibility. Firmly be lieving in the Apostolic rule—"First pure then peacea ble"—holding that the total and Anal extirpation of Sla very is the t. u» and only absolute cure for our National ills—-that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and illusory success—we yet pro pound no theory of "reconatmction" and indorse m>ue that has bei n propound ad by another—neither Sum ner's, nor Whiting's, M>r any of tlio various Copperhead devices for achieving "Peace" by surrounding the Re public into the power of it* traitorous foes—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their Govern ment, tore enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury, we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign . Providence will in duo time bring this fearful struggle to such a close as w d best subserve the true- greatness of our country am'the permanent weld ing of mankind. We respecti'uly solicit the subscriptions and active exertions of oui IVlends, and of all whose\iews and con victions substantially with ours. TERMS OF DAILY TRIBUNE.
