(... "HI! to Herrlek Xeeil Couipnny, IS41:I'- Itoehcstcr, N. Y. er exhibition of man's apparent cruel ty to animals, and one that is more likely to create a feeling in the young of disregard for things that are gen tle nnd kindly, I do not know where to look for it. True; swine must be slaughtered; hut. let it be done in de cency. IVhen a lad I witnessed switie killing at nn abattoir, and I regarded 1he method so wicked that I never forgot it, but really it was no worse than this. The animals were in n close pen. Three men did the work. One with a hog hook would catch an animal under the jaw, an assistant would help him raise the head up, nnd the third would do the sticking, when the hog was dragged to a chute nnd fumbled down it, kicking and bleeding. A merciful way to kill a hog is to strike it in the head with a suitnble implement, producing stupor, then instantly use Ihe sticking knife. This causes instant death. An animal suiters more from fear than It does from death itself. A neat, unobjec tionable method Is to drop the open side of n suitable long, narrow bos flown over the animal nnd then turn box nnd nnimnl upside down, when the knife can do its ws.rk and the box be righted again that the hog can lileed properly. Humane men will be apt to pursue one of these better methods; indeed, many of them do now; hut if they will not, they should he thoughtful enough to have chil dren absent from hog killing, that no evil he done by bad example.

They then spread a linnr if 'frnw c'o-ht or ten rncties uuck iii.-iti liic gruu.i.l, uuti piaee it.o potatoes on this. The best results are from mounds about three feet wide at tho base and rising like u cone to about tlie same height. This i.s covered with straw and then by u layer of soil from six to eight inches thick, lleforo the weather gets too severe more soil may be added, nnd when the ground is frozen, put on more straw or s'rawy manure. They seem to winter much better thnn in cellars or when put iu mounds or pits as soon as dry. We would say that we think it would not injure the ger mination of the sprouts if the tubers were frozen solidly in such a mound, if they were not disturbed until they had thawed out in the earth in the darkness. lVe have plowed out pota toes in the spring that had lain with in six inches of the surface of the ground all winter, where the ground bad been frozen two or three feet deep, and they were apparently as ound and fresh as those dug in the List of O rand Juror drawn lor the Court or Oyer and Tct miner, (iciieral Jail Delivery and (flatter Sessions of the Peace to be held i-.t Mel.
