It is trite but true that tor a fattening animal shelter and warmth are equivalent to so much foods The fat of a hog is carbon mainly, the walls ot the cells in which the tat is stored only consisting of nitrogenous matter, arbonaceous food is therefore mostly cequired for tattening animals, -Starch is o carbonaeeois substancee as muceh as oilor fat. . FThe composition ol staceh Is 12 atows - of carbon, 10 of hyvdrogen and 10 of oxygen. Oils and fats thae latter differing from the former ouiy in the degree of solidity) ditfer very little in their: composition irom starch. In the process of digesvion starch is decomposed, and its carbion is maide available, tirst to susLuin vespiration and the animal heat, and second to inerease the store of fat. Oily food serves the same ends in tie antiaal processes, but it is found that tood vich inoil is enabled to add more rapidly Lo the store of fat than that ricihin starch. A\ very considerable. portion of oil from the food rich that e¢lement is divectly, assimilated, and it is found in practice that to give Jthe best results a food rich in fat or oil must be mixed with the starchy tood. . Thus eorn is a food whieh fattens more quickly than wheat or bardev, and cotton seed, or linseed oil-cake produces fut faster than corn. - The choice of tood for fattening hogs, however, depends mostly upon its relative cheapiess and convenience. ut it is more to the purpose herve to notice the fact that no fat is made ~until the needs of the animal to fur wish its animal ‘warmth and, the carbotw to Be used up in the process of reathing ave supplied. When these needs are met the surplus goes to wake fat. 1 there is no surplus no fat is made. If the demands.upon the animal’s physical system are'excessive hy reason of exposure to eold, and the waste of heat is great in consequence, the production of tat is proportion-;r‘(-i_\' lessened ; - it may be then either very small or stopped altogether, « v it may be that the animal is obliged to ‘ consume more - food to supply ‘the greater demand uapon its system.— tierein Fes the secret of” the waste of foad by exposure to cold, and the econotny of warmth and comfort. The present year corn is scarce and dear. It will therefore be more than usually necessary to see that fatfening hogs, as well as stock ‘hogs, are comfortably heused and kept warn, | ’l‘Ll!e earlier, foo, that hogs can be fattenéd, the less will lie the waste of food in maintaining animal heat-—N. ¥, Tribune. 1 Very Bad Advice. I well remember a (:ir('.‘unmta:mcu,\ happeningto me a long time ago, that’ casight mea useful lesson in respeet *lo protecting tender: plants. One of - those proverbial neighbors that always | know evervthing, advised me to tie | up niy rare plants with corn f(-)d(]er,l “it-was open and yet' very shady for | Ahem:” corn fodder was'the material | used. So satisfied was 1 with my 1 work that I never thouzht ‘it necessary te take a peep beneath the cover- | e but waited contidingly nutil spring i “warned me to release my plants.

Another and another were in l the same condition, and if ecrying , would have bronght my pets to life, [ think I could have sat down and given | vent to my accuintlated misery then | and there, To help matters along in ' the way of eomfort under affliction, “another of my far-seeing neighbops came by, and, noticing my loss, passed } on with the remark, “I could Imvc] told you so; mice always congregate | in.corn fodder; it abtracts them, and | then they will eat up every green thing . in the neighborhood.” —Eachonge. Two Pennsyivania farmers quar- | reled for twenty vears over the own- ! ership of a lane hetween their farms, which had been abandoned as a highway. The son of one and the daughter of the other managed to get acquainted, fell in love mutually, and ran away to get married, whereupon the old fellows dropped their quarrel, stopped their law-suits, gave the newly married J)uir-t.!m land in dispute, and built an {Mfid @ house upon it second Wt of your taxes by |

Don’t tell the little five year old Jimmy “the school ma’am will cut off his. ears”—“pull out his teeth”—*tie him up”-—or any of the horrible stories that are commonly presented to the childish imagination.

~ The fire finally got into the woods, but from what we ean learn the timber was not injured much, only the brush and dry grass burning. Any serious danger is now probably removed by the light rains which fell at the st of the week, dampening the leaves 5o that the flames will not spread so. rapidly. There was notenough {ell to bhe of much benefit to the wheat, or il up ithe wells:or eisterns, which are about dry everywhere. : - The fict that these fires have o tendency fo preduce vain make them not such a bad ghing, if the rain was only in o little larger proportion-to the amount o snioke and five, Scientific men explain -the connection between these tires and vain-fall in the tollowing manner: The atmosphere cotitains’ at all times o greater or less amount of moisture invisibly dissolved tliry’ it 1t itis cooled below a certain ten)perature, ealled the “dew-point,” this agueous vapor is precipitated in rain drops. The usual manner ingvhich this precipitation is bronght aboutis by the air ascending -to upper regions of the atmosphere where it has more room to expand, and on that account beconies colder. Now thesefires heat the surface of the earth, which in turn leats the incumbent air, rendering it lightér and caunsing it to taise in a current. Colder, and therefore heavier, wind-currents get beneath it and force it up to still greaterjaltitudes, where it diffuses and coines in contact with cool air which reduces it below the “dew-point,” and the vapor is liberated in showers of rain. L O [r— 4 A Granger FXperiment. It will requive but a few experiences such as the Galifornia Patrons of Husbandiy hdveé had to give them a better opinion” of*middlemen. For years a wealthy Israelite in San Francisco enjoyed a monopoly: of the grain trangportation business of the Pacific couast. e chartered all the grain-carrymg vessels for Europe .and Asia, and amassed considerable wealth. The Grangers lpoked upon his success with envions eyes, and finally, coming to the conclusion that they might as well hiave the profits of the business as any one else, they appointed State agents who, under the patronage of the Patrons, were to handle all the grain of the State. About two years ago this arrangement went into effeet. and the Israclite beforementioned turnedtover his warehouses and his vessels to the agents ‘of the Grangers, Morgan’s Sons. A week or two ago this firm failed, the liabilities being stated at a hundred thousand doilars. DBut later dispatehes show that the total liabilities of the firm will amount to sia: hundred thonsand dollars! All this, of course, comes out of the pockets of the Grangers. They have ere this probably made up: their minds that /it would have been better for them to leave well enough alone, ' . e Wanted “Dem Papers” Changed. (From the Naghville Union and American.) “1 want dem papers changed” said a ‘venerable looking darkey, as he rushed precipitately into the County Court Clerk’s office yesterday evening.— “What papers?’ asked the elerk. “Why, you see, boss, when I came here on Saturday last, T took out a ‘pair of marriage license to marry a widow with thrée children, and, returning home, I found a young gal who said. she had a preior elaim, and idif T didn’t have her she’d make it too hot for me todive in the neighiborhood, so I have come all the way to town today to have them things changed.”-— I'he clerk. intimated that it was impossible to ehange the record, and that if he had made up his mind to lead to the hymenial altar the young and blashing dgfunsel instead of the widow, “fat and forty,” with three children, he would have to take out a new license. “Can’t do that, boss; there ain’t three dollas’¥difference in the case, and I veckon I' better stick to the first principles.” The old darkey then vamoosed with his “old pair of license.”

TrE season for coughs iand colds is rapidly - approaching and every one shiould be prepared to check the first symptoms, as a cough contracted between now and Christmas frequently lasts all winter. There is 1o better reinedy than-Johnson's Anodyne Liniament. For all diseases of the throat and jungs it should be used internally and externally. Lung fever, common cold, catarrhal fever, and nasal discharge of a brownish color in horses, may be checked at once by liberal use of Sheridan’s Cavalry Condition Powders.

The Book Agent and the German ° Tailor. : : / {From the Detroit Free Press.] He was tall, and solemn, and dignified. - One would have thought him a Roman Senator, on his way to make a speech on finance, but-he wasn’t—singularly enough, he wasn’t. He was a book agent. He wore a linen duster, and his brow was furrowed with many carelines, as if he had been obliged to tumble out of bed every other night of “his life to dose a sick child. lle called into a tailor shop on Randolph street, removed his hat, took hig “Lives of Eminent Philosophers” ' from its cambri¢ bag and approached the tailor with: *“l'd like to have you look at this rare work.” “I hat no time,” replied the tailor. “luis a work whiclr every thinking man should delight to peruse,” continued the agent. : j , ¢Z0?" gaid the tailor. | ' “Yes, it 3.2 worklon which a great deal of deep thought Lias been expended, and is pronounced by such men as Wendell Phtllips to be @ work without a rival in modern literature.”

“Makes anybody laugh wihen he zees it?”- asked the tailor. “No, my friend, this is a-deep, protound work, as I. have already said. 1t deals with sueh characters as Theocritus, Soerates, and Plato, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ifyoudesirea work on whieh the most eminent author of our day has spent years of study, researel, you can find nnthin,{.i' to compare with this.” : . ‘ “Does it not speak how to clean cloze?” anxiously asked the inan of the FTORTCH i ! “My friend, this is no receipt book, but an- eminent work on phitosophy, as § have told you. Years were consuimed .in preparing this volume for the/ phess, and none but the clearest mind cdould have grasped the subjects herein discussed. It you desire food for deep meditation, you have it here.” “Does dis pook.speak sumding about der Prussian War?” asked the tailor as-he threaded his needle. _“My friend, this is not an every day book, but a work on philosophy, —a work whieh will soon be in the hands of every profound thinker in the cotintry. What is the art of philosophy? This book tells you. Who were aid who are our philosopliers? Tuin to these pages for a reply. As I said Defore, I can’t see how you'can do withoubit’ , ‘ “Und he don’t haf anyvdings about some fun, eh ?” inquired the tailor, as the book was held out to him. “My friend, Imust again inform you that this is not an ephemeral work—not a collection of nauseons trash—but a rarve deep work on philosophy.— ITere, see the name of the author.— That name alone, sir, should be proof enough to your iind that the work can not be surpassed for profundity oft thought., Why, sir, Gerrit Smith testifies to the greatness of this volume!” ~ “I not knows M. Schinidt—l make no cloze mit him,” returned the tailor in adoubting voice, - - .

“Then: you will let me leave your plage without having secured your name to this volume! 1 can not believe it! Behold what search! Turn these leaves. and see these gems of richest thought! Ah! if we only haql such minds and could wield such . a peh! But we can read, and in a measwre we can be pike him. Every family should have this noble work. let me put your name dewn; the book is only $l2; C“Zawelve dollar for der pook! Twelve dollzr und he has noddings about der war, und no fun in him, or say noddings how to glean cloze!* What you take me for, migter? Go right away mit dat pook or I eall der bolice and hie haf you locked up pooty quick!” 5 TRI e Dpsin o Biliy RBaxter on the Wapr-Paii. (From the Richmond (Ind.) Free Press, Saturday.) Yesterday as the Hon. W, Baxter was driving along Pearl street, and when opposite the Mayor's oflied, he discovered Mr. Jefferis passing on the sidewalk. Stopping his team he cailed to Mr. J. to come out in the street, as he wished to speak to him, with which request Mr. Jefferis complied. Mr. Baxter then told Mr. Jefferis that he understood ® recount of the vote of the First Precinet liad been made at his (Mr. J.s) request, and that the regult showed a different state of affairs froin the official return. Mur. Jefferis denied that it was done at his request, but informed Mr. B. that a recount had been made which showed that he (Mr. J.) had received the most: votes in the county. Mr. Baxter beeame itritated at this, and claimed that if he failed to get his seat in the Senate the people of Indiana would e ruined; that the Legislature would -repeal the jtemperance law, which would result in everybody getting drunk, and that the people. of the ‘State would finally sink into degradation, ‘Mr. Jefferis retorted by saying he thought the good pcople of ,Indi;m:i‘ had suflicient sense to regulite their appetites in that particular fully as well as could be done by any extreme prohibitory laws, and that the present law was a farce, as proven by the fact that more liquor was being drank 'in Richmond now than at any previous time. Other words, of an angry char- ‘ acter, in relation to the merits and de‘merits of the Baxter law followed, ~when William became exceedingly wrathful, and informed Mr. Jefferis that if he did no “dry up” he would kick the whole top of his (Mr. J.’s) head off. ' L The latter replied that, though he hadllost his right ,z}rm in a threshing machine, if he (M. B.) wanted any‘thing in that line he was ready. M. Baxter upon this jumped down from his buggy, and, after performing a graceful piroutte, kicked Chan’s hat off his head. Chan followed this with a left-hander on William’s frontispice. Next Chan was seen slipping one of William’s eyes into his vest pocket, and William in return had a large piece of Chan’s right ear between his teeth. After this blows and Kkicks followed each other in such rapid suecession that nothing more definite than a terriftie tight could be seen when a crowd rushed up and put an end to the affair. :

SEVERAL months ago Alexander D. Hamilton, City Treasurer of Jersey City, proved to be a defaulter and absconded. After he disappeared. his accounts were found to be short about $BO,OOO. Detectives were immediately put on his track and every effort made to arrest him, but without success.— He was traced to Matamoras, Texas; but having put himself under the protection of the Mexican General Cortina, the officers were compelled to return without him. A few’days ago, Judge Bedle, of the Supreme Court, received a letter from him saying that he would retuwrn to Jersey City last Friday evening, and that, in order to save the city the amount of reward for him, he intended to surrender himself to the authorities, Ile has accordingly returned, and is now in the custody of the Jersey City police, who sought him in vain for many weeks on the borders of Texas. He shows marked traces of mental anxiety. :

APPLETONS AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA. A g » " New Revised Edition. : i Entirely rewritten by the'ablest writers on evéry sabject. Printed from new type, and il- = - lustrated with Several Thousand-En- . gravingsand Maps. - . S Tur work originally published under the title of Tug NEw Americax CycLorspia was completed 1 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parte of the United States, and the gignal devel.ok)mcnts which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art. bave indpced the editors and publishers to rubmit 1t to an exact and thorough revigion, and to issuz a new edition-entitled Tone AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA. 4 5 Within the last ten years the pro%ress_of discovs ery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an‘imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofgociallife. Great wars and consequent revelutions have occarréd, involving national changes of peculiar moment.— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been; ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. : L Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorere of Africa. : : ‘ : 5 The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every' one is curious to know the particuiari. Great battle s have been foaght and important sieges maintained, ot which thedetails. are as yet pregerved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but whichought now to take their place in permanent and anthentic history. 5 Lo In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information-to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoverjes in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventdonsin the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and-original record of the progress of political and historical events. =~ = | T

The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most. ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination, D G ) i 5 =

None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new ‘Cyclopsdia with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been snf%ested by longer experienée and enlarged knowledge. i The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of tpictorinl effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of exglanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architectnre, and art, as well as the various procesges of mechanicsand manufactures. Although intended for instr?t. ion rather than embellis%x—ment, no pains have been spared to inswe their artistic excellence;theé cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the COyclop®dia, and worthy of ite high character. This work is sold ‘to Subscribers only, paaable on delivery of each volumg. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing: about 800 Wpages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Enig'mvings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. o Price and Style of Binding.
