v - : The Farm and Household. INTELLIGENCE OF HOGS. - Hogs often show great intelligence and aptitude to learn. A forrester had a Chinese pig, which followed him | like a dog, came: at call, ran up and down stairs and from room to room.— It learned to bow and perform several tricks. It was very expertin hunting mushroons; and when told to keep wateh, it would remain at its post until called away. When its owner said “T am going to kill you;” it would lie ‘down on its back and strech out'its legs. : { %t is said that when Louis the XI was sick, every means was taken to divert the sadness of his mind, but, do what they would, he could not be made to laugh; at length a nobleman thought of teaching a pig to dance, and bringing it betore his majesty. It was not long before a pig could hop about very well to the sound of a,bagpipe; they then dressed it with coat, pantaloons, necktie, hat, sword, etc,, in short, all that the court gentlemen of the time were accustomed to wear, ‘and introduced it into the présence of the king. The animal bowed, danced; and followed all orders in the most artistic manner; until getting tired, it became'soawkward that the king roared with laughter, to the delight of his courtiers, An English gentleman carefully trained a hog for hunting. “Slug,” for so the hog was called, was very fond of the chage, and was ever on the alert when tlie huntsmen were preparing to start; but the dogs could not endure-its company and their owner was never able to make use of both at “the same time. “Slug” could scent a bird frem algreat distance, and could dig into the earth to show where it had been.. When the bird hooped, it followed like a dog. , : .Hogs hawve been trained for draught. A countryman was in the habit of going tosSt. Alban’s market in .a small cart drawn by four hogs; another

countryman won a wager that his hog ‘could carry himfon its back four miles lin one hour. These facts are cited to - show that the hog is a more intelligent animal than we give him credit for. However every Kind-hearted person will disapprgve of teaching dumb creatures to perform tricks. For our ‘'own part we take no pleasure in seeing dancing bears and spelling pigs; for the process of training draws so deeply on our sympathy that we look upon everything of the kind as the torturing of animals.-——Our Dumb Animals. G HOW THEY : TRAIN SHEEP DOGS IN 2/ CALIFORNIA, - The Rev C. E. Babb, in one of his letters from California, tells of what an old shepherd told him about the ‘way they train the famous shepherd dogs in Southern Califgrnia. IHe says you may go: over the hills and plains there for miles, and see thousands of - sheep, but not a man t% wateh them, Around each flock or band of, say, a thousand sheep are a half dozen dogs, of peculiar breed, dogs whuse progenitors were imported from: the sheep pastures of the old world. These dogs take the entire care of the sheep, drive them out to the pasture in the morning, keepi them from straying during the day, and bring them home at night. These dogs have inherited a talent for keeping sheep, but the shepherds do - not depend wholly on that. They cultivate it in this way, so at least the old shepherd says: “When a lamb is born, it is taken away from the mother sheep before she hasgeen it, and a puppy put in its place. The sheep, suckles the puppy and learns to love it. When the puppy grows old enough to eat meat, it is fed injthe morning and sent out with the sheep. Tt stays with them because it is accustomed to be with its mother but it cannot feed with them. As they get full the dogs get hungry. -At length, impatient to return where he hopes to get another piece of meat it begins to tease .and worry its mother, and finally starts . toward home; the other sheep follow, - and thus the whole flock is brought in. If the dog brings the sheep home too soon, or comes Wwithout them, he gets no supper, or is punished in some way. Hence he soon learns where to come, and to see to it that none of his charge are left behind. Thege animals are trained by taking advantage of their instincts and appetites. * . -

CAMPHOR AS A MEDICINE. - The Scientific American lectures those people who make frequent use’ of camphor as a medicine. It says:— “The physiological action of camphor is not yet understood ; but, judging by the symptoms that follow the taking of a moderate dose, it may be called a nervous stimulant. It is somewhat like opium and. aleehol, therefore, in its action, when given in small quans tities; but, when taken in large doses, it causes excessive irritation to the nervous system, producing convulz sions and death. Camphor acts to irritat¢ and congest and finally, to inflame the mucus lining of the stom( ach, causing, in the milder cases, a form of dyspepsia, and inthe more aggravated, ulceration of the stomach.— From these two actions, namely, that of nervous stimulant and local irritant, come all the good and evil of its use. We .can, therefore, rapidly see how unsuited this drug is to be a household remedy,” .

THE QUESTION whether farmers shall sell their hogs for less than $5 per 100 pounds is a topic of animated «discussion in the weekly newspapers. In some.of them we observe that the brutal Chicago pagkers are denounced for their supposed desiré to keep down the price and to fatten on the farmers’ pork. We. understand that it makes no difference to. the packers whether the market price’ of hogs is high or low, or, if there is any difference, their interests are in favor of a high price, since the price of meats (the article they have to sell) bears a steady and uniform ratio to the price of hogs. It would undoubtedly he an embarrassment to the packers if the farmers should unitedly = withhold their hogs from the market, for then they would have nothing to do, but, 80 long as hogs come forward at some price, it makes mo difference what that price is, f})rovided it is not so high as to cut off the demand.—Chicago Tribune. . : °* sl

As there is amplé time yet to prepare good shelter for all kinds of stock during the approaching winter, no one having the care of any animal should neglect to provide not only stabling but also good sheds under which stock may remain comfortably shelt@ed from rain, snow, and winds, during the day time. {{t is a fixed and undeniable maxim that “shelter is feed.”— This method also keeps together and preserves manure.. Let every farmer consider well the advantages of the suggestions here made, if in practice. It is both profitable and humane.

GRAPE STONES are said to be a bet“ter substitute for coffee than chick- - ory is, When roasted and ground they are said to possess an aroma very much like that of India coffee, and the beverage obtained therefrom is about the same as coffee in taste, though inferior in quality. The beyerage furnished by many of the restaurants is very far from being “about the same as coffee in taste,” and it is probable that a decided improvement could be made on the present article by the use of grape stones.

: - Treasurer of State. - ‘ It is early,perhaps, to speculate about candidates for State officers, but we have heard some suggestions-in reference to the above office which strikes us with such force that we capnot resist the temptation to testify our satisfaction at any movement calculated to bring before the people of Indiana the name of John M. Caldwell, of Marion county, for Treasurer.' There is perhaps no man in the State who has not been before the people of Indiana in some public station, who is so widely known; and now that his friends desire him to permit his name to be used in connection with the office of Treasurer of State, we hope he will consent. If there is a man in the State of Indiana that makes a friend of every one he meets, that man is Jno. M. Caldwell. A ‘gentleman of the strictest integrity, he’ merits and enjoys the esteem and confidence of all who know him. He was born in Indiana, and has always been identified with -the interests of our State. He was appointed to a position in the Post Office Department at Washington during the administration of President Pierce, and retained it until ‘the seeond year of Lincoln’s administration. ITe then engaged in the wholesale grocery business at Indianapolis, where he has sinee resided, and has earned a reputation asa business man that any one might be proud of. Although, he has always been an uncompromising Democrat, he is such a thorough gentleman, so genial and wholesouled that he is universally liked. We believe that Mr. Caldwell will be the next treasurer of the State of Indiana. Boone county is for him first, last and all the time, and you may passthe word along the line.—Lebanon Pioneer.

b ey < RE—— . State Finances. The recent publication by the Treasurer of State of the eondition of the State Treasury furnishes some instrucive figures. The present State officers having been in office one year, and their- disbursements controlled by a Republican Legislature. The two years preceding were under Democratic auspices and the Legislature making the appropriations under Democratic control. Now asto the figures. Herewith are presented the receipts and .disbursements for 1871, 1872 and 1873, including the balance on hand for each year: i

Receipts for 1871.._..... . .........83 978,889 18 Disbursements for same year.......... 2,943,600 55 Balance on hand Nov. 1, 1871......51,035,288, 63 Receipts for 1872 ....................83,450,858 22 Disbursements for same year.......... 2,687.201 85 Balance on hand Nov. 1,1872......8 763 356 57 Receipts for 1873. ... 4., ........ ... 88,705,543 54 Disbursements for 5ame'year...........3.520,560 04 Bnla;’:pe/‘(m hand Nov, 1, 1873..... .73158,185_4—7 . The ‘present State officers found a balance on hand when they came into office of three quarters of a million of dollars and now have only $185,000. In the receipts for the last year are over $700,000 borrowed money.. The taxes the people will be ealled on this winter to payto the State are three times as much ag heretofore. So much for Republican retrenchment. = -

Happiness in the Family Circle. If a man is so situated that he can not be happy in his family relations, he will not‘enjoy happiness at all.— Man must cultivate, therefore, and look far this great end ‘of his labors at home, in the bosom of his wife, and in the affection of children. - Around his own hearth, in the presence of a loving family, the husband and father, himself the affectionate head® of the household, cannot be otherwise than happy. He has no competition in business there, no opposing candidates for honors, ne grasping and unscru’pu]ous enemy, who may seek to take advantage of every weak point tosinjure him and tear him from his earnings, and possessions; but every one near him gives him preference, is awake to his interest in everything; they emulate each other in doing him heartful honor, and without dissimulation or affectation, sympathize with him in all his sorrows, hopes, joys and triumphs. =He is there perfectly at ease, may be himself without reserve, and be sure that no unpleasant occurrence or consequence can result therefrom. It is his kingdom, and he is beloved by every subject. His wife is the honored queen of home; none dispute her benign sway ; she rules by smiles, and the whole family lives in her love, and can only where they possess it. e ons g ;

il -R— e e ‘ | The Last Drop. . A young man entered the bar room of a village tavern and called for a drink. .

“Fo,” said the landlord, “you have too much already. You have had the delirium tremens once, and I cannot sell you any more.” He stepped aside to make room for a couple of young men who *had just entered, and the landlord waited on them very politely. The other stood by, silent and sullen, and when they had finished he walked up to the landlord and thus addressed him: *“Six years ago, at their age, I stood where those young men are; I was a man with fair prospects. Now, at the age of twentyeight, I am a wreck, body and mind.— You led me to drink. An this room I formed the habit that has been my ruin. Now sell me afew glasses more and your Worli will be done. T shall soon be out of the way; there is no help for me. But they can be saved; they may be men again. Do not sell it to them. Sell it to me and let me die, and the world will be rid of me; but for heaven’s sake sell no more to them.” The landlord listened,; pale and trembling. Setting down the decanter, he exclaimed: “God helping me, that is the last drop I will ever sell toany one.” Andhe kept his word.

A boy only fifteen years old, in Blackhawk - county, lowa, whose father died three years ago, leaving his widow and son an eighty-acre farm burdened with a $l,OOO mortgage, has sole charge of the farm, hiring help in seed time, harvest and threshing, paid off the mortgage, purchased a sulky plow, a wagon and a set of har’ ness, besides a sewing machine for his mother, and is now out of debt. He is a member of the Cedar Valley Agrl{lcu‘ltural Society, and attends school three months each winter.

- Who can read without emotion the‘ story of the two little girls in Green Bay, Wisconsin? The eldest was seven years old, the youngest only five.— A drunken father left them.alone in their room for six days, with only a small loaf of bread for food. When they were found, the elder sister was nearly dead, having refused to eat of the bread so that her little sister might not suffer.” We “hear a great deal about-heroines. Does history furnish an equal to this? - |

-PUMPKIN PiEs,—The following new method for making pumpkin pies is’ recommended by one of our exchanges: Pare the pumpkins, then grate it, and add sugar and ginger to taste, and milk enough to make it of the proper consistency. Then line your pie tins with erust, and put in pumpkin and bake in the ordinary way.

~ Just for the fun of the thing, we would like to see “Tink” Wadsworth of the LaPorte Argus, gét himself into a controvérsy with Victoria Woodhull on the female suffrage question. It would prove 80 d¢ry amusing.

The Grain Trade. l England in 1872 imported the enor- I mous quantity of seventy-six million ! bushels of wheat, of which over a | third came from Russia, and a fifth | part from the United States. The fall- | ing off of importations from the United States was one-third as compared l with the previous year. Wheat can | be produced in Russia and laid down in England cheaper than wheat from | the United States. Our transportation from the west is. so' expensive that we connet successfully compete 1 with Russia, As one evidence of the | enormous extent of the grain trade of the northwest it is stated, ten miles . of grain cars.arrive at Chicago daily, | and sometimes more; one-third of | these cars loaded with wheat and the rest with corn and oats. Thereceipts at Milwaukee are proportionately large, and at present far beyond the capacity of ware-houses and vesselsto receive it.. Taken in connection with the receipts at other places in the’ country it gives some idea of the wonderful productiveness of the great northwest, and the neccessity of greater transporting facilities. The grain deficienciés in Europe are unusually' large this year, that of France being estimated at fifty million bushels, England nearly double as much, while Switzerland, Italy and Germany, will equal that of France. - The wheat crop of the United States is lestimated nearly one-fifth above the average, and fortunately for us the ‘demand from abroad will take all the surplus. This would seem to indicate that prices must be better before the winter closes. g

A Boy Who Is Not a Fool. - “Father, was Greeley elected ?” asked an unsophisticated twelve-year-old of his republican sire. Starting up with astonishment, the latter answered: “No; why do you ask such :a foolish question?” “Because,” said the boy, “you said last fall that if Greeley was elected there would be a panic, and everybody says there is a panic now, so I thought Greeley must have been elected.”—Rome Sentinel.

—The man who cannot muster up courage enough to pop the question such weather as we have been having of late, deserves to freeze todeath this winter. - i

' - No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. ] Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, QOhio, Missouri, -Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, . Alabama, AMobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and: ~other abdominal viscera.. In-their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessaty. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR Brrrers, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viseid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the saing time stimulating the secretions of the Jdiver, and gencrally restoring the healthy fune--tions of the digestivie vrgans, !
