| Neotes on Various Kinds of Hogs. | ; Prominent among those animals to | 'which, as agriculturists, we must_acjeord a very ‘high economical impor- | [tance, is the hog. He holds an honor|ed place in ‘every civilized community 'so soon as he is dead, though while |living he is stigmatized as the very type of uncleanliness, and surrounded with disgusting - associations. The Mohammedan and Jew are pol]utqd | by his touch, so that a leg of bacon is | ' a more formidable weapon against an | t'lsraelite than a “sprig of shillalah.” ' Nevertheless, there are pig-worshipers -among the South Sea Islanders, and - certainly pork has its devotees in this country—as witness the thousands of - pork packers and dealers in our great western cities, who “by this craft have their wealth.”. Secientifically, the hog belongs to the species scrofa, of theé genus Sus, of the sub-order Swide, (which names are much like those of our Welch friend, Mr. Evan Evans Ap-Evans, for they all mean nearly the same thing.) The animals of the hog kind are of the natural order Pachydermata (thick-hided), in which we also find the elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, tapir, and peccary ; between these and the hog there are marked points of resemblance —in: their heavy build, sluggish motions, peculiar ‘snouts; and wallowing habits. The same order includes the horse, ass, and zebra; between these and those just mentioned the resemblance is not so close, but all farmers must have noticed a similarity in the structure of the teeth and their arrangement in the jaws. It is an interesting fact, also, that there exists a breed of solid-hoofed hogs. e ‘The hog is generally regarded as one of the most stupid animals, but really he is entitled to a place among ‘ the most intelligent., The muscular power alone of the wild boar would | not render him so formidable an adversary, were it not used with surprising discrimination. © The sow in defense of hér young is a terrible - fighter, and a most cunning strategist;, as every one familiar with the half wild swine of the South very well knows. The statement that this ani~mal has a scent as acute as that of a setter or pointer dog, will hardly be credited. Yet it is a matter of history that, with a very little labor, an English sportsman actually trained a young sow to point game, and used her in hunting for years thereafter, sometimes alone, and sometimes in company with dogs. Swine are found amongralmost all nations and tribes of men in the old world, in temperate and torrid latitudes, and have been used as food since the earliest historic times. Like other domestic animals which are thus widely disseminated, shis species (Sus scrofa) exhibits many distinet varieties, and numerous more or less peculiar breeds—the result of the modifying influences to which they have been subjected in the course of ages. The wild boar is doubtless the pregenitor of all European swine, modified somewhat by importations of Asiatic ( particularly Chinese) blood ; and from these the various breeds in North, Central and South Ameriea are derived. The wild boar still exists in certain parts of Europe and Asia, and his flesh is not uncommon in the markets of the cities of Central Europe, during the autumn. The aim of breeders, and the effects of domestication, perhaps, have been to reduce ~ the size of the head, neck, shoulders, . and bony parts, generally, and to ins orease the size of the hams and breadth of the loin, to decrease the size and weight of the bones and all the less profitable parts, and change to a great xtent the appearance and general '%.r:cter of the animal. This is striking¥y shown in the figure of the Chester county (Pa.) white hog. - It would be very interesting, and instructive too, could we learn with what aim the hog has been bred in Japan. The Japanese swine seem remarkable only for the immense develi opment of skin and souse. Their hides * lie in massive fords, like the skin of . the rhinoceros; and =tieil: ‘ponderous ears are fairly elephagtine. Their J!faqes are crowded with coarse, irreguular wrinkles, giving them great breadth, and a very peculiar expres_Ston.. They are said to eed freely, but never to fatten sufficiently to take” out the reefs in their hides. They are of a dingy drab color, sparsely covered with black bristles, and have long, straight tails. With these pecu- . liarities, the breed has in our judgment no good point. The Chester . county hog is introduced incomparison, because it shows so weéll the results of breeding with a constant view ‘ - to figkh, fat and smallness bf offal. ‘We are often asked: the question, “Do ~‘you consider theChesterCounty Whites a fixed breed ?” ‘or “the best breed %” or.“is there any better breed ?” logs --of similar shape to the Chester County Whites are common throughout a considerable region, including parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. What their origin is no one knows exactly. They are of all colors, but yellow or tan-color with some black is very common. Tltis said, however, that many years ago an imported Bedfordshire boar was crossed with the eommon sows of Chester county, Pa. and thus originated the variety, which has since been bred ‘with great care to improve its good points, and breed out all traces of black and yellow in the animals. There +is 'mo such recognized breed as the Bedfordshire, and many of the animals sold as Chester County Whites breed black and yellow spotted pigs. It is probable, therefore, that the demand for Chester County Whites has been - so great, that fraud has been practiced in some cases. Where genuine animals can be obtained, the cross upon inferior swine i 8 very beneficial, as they are solid, large sized, small boned and have large hams. But for indiscriminate erossing, we advise the Suffolks. The breeder who makes hogs a study, and carefully selects males to improve certain points.in his herd, will, of course, select boars from the suffolks, Berkshires, Essex, or other breeds, to suit the end for which his hogs are bred, and the market his produce geeks.—American Agriculturist.

Muek as Manure.

As has offen been said, the time has come when manures are valuable. It is singular that no more attention has been paid to the collection and composting of the common muck and snasses~of our shallow lakes and marshes. Milliong of Joads of good manure can be taken from the laée or pond between Pine or Muckshaw, or Harris lake, and almost inexhaustible supplies may be found in alaiost eyery locality. The clearing out of this sediment would purify the waters and greatly lessen the deleterious effects which sueh places have, upon the health of the neighborhood, and these considerations alone ought to be sufficient to call the attention of the au“thorities to it, and still the manure thus obtained would be extremely valuable. Why is it that this product is not utilized? In many cases this deposit is the washings, the robbings of the adjacent lands, and to return it would only be rendering unto Cmsar the things that really belong to Camesar, and if by this Peter should be robbed a little that Paul might thrive, no harm, but much good would be done. —E. G. McCollum, in the LaPorte ApJus, '

LAST DAY OF THE OLD YEAR. | To-day eloses up the year 1874. Tomorrow we have a mew and total l change of date. 'We enter, in fact, upon the last year of the third quarter | of the nineteenth century—lB7s. How i fast the century is going! With what | lightning speed are we rushing on 1 to the commencement of & new one. | There are many men now living who { saw this one come in. And it seems 1 to them, no doubt, but a brief season ‘since the old century ‘was rung out. and the new one ushered in. “The rapid progress of time,” is a trite saying with which all are familiar, but its importance is always forced upon us at the recurrence of every anniversary. It is an old saying, but nevertheless a true one, —“the older we grow the shorter appear the seasons.” One ‘year, to the eager and expectant desires of childhood, is a century to the adult who is bearing the heat and burdens of life. Eighteen hundred and seventy-four! we dislike to part with you. It is a pleasant mile-post passed on the journey to our unknown | and, perhaps, dreadful state, to the realization of which we shall far too soon arrive. But while the departure of the old inspires us with regret, we as eagerly hail the beginning of the new year. Would that it could continue always new—that the dew might never lose its freshness or the flower its bloom. But vain and idle are all such aspirations. Change and instability, decay and death, are written on all around and about us. We cannot hold back for one moment the chariot of time. Dislike it as we may, we are. | all growing old, and are being hurried resistlessly onward toward the grave, to give room to new generations that are soon to fill our places. Then let us endeavor to enjoy the new year while we ecan. They come fast, but there are not many in store, and their limited number should induce us to more highly prize them. ~ To-day,being the last of the old year, is an excellent time to review the past, and to make amends for the future. As we open it, it is like opening a new account-book, all of whose pages are pure, white and undefiled.. The old is blotted, defaced, blurred and dishonored. How ardently should we strive to prevent the new one from attaining the same condition! Tt is certain that entries, and heavy ones, to our cost, must be made in it, but we sho’d strive to make them as few and as light as possible. The charges of ine morality and vice are to a great extent | within our own control. They are the! largest blemishes in Time’s chronicle, and they are put there to our shame, unnecessarily and by our own fault alone. Keeping these charges off from the book; we narrow its pages down to a small compass. We have no doubt that thousands will: on this occasion, do as they have done before—make good resolutions, and put many bricks in that not very desirable place which is said to be paved with good intentions. Taught, by repeated failures, the strength of the enemy which we have to combat, they may and should acquire a force of will sufficient to vanquish him. . o

On such an occasion, who is there who does not feel a desire to be gifted with that spirit which ecan look into and discern the results of the future, upon the threshhold of which we shall to-morrow stand! If our vision could extend as well forward as backward, what a different world we would Ilave! It is a solemn thought, the. question where we shall be and what will be the casualties of this new year to us, ere it too has passed into eternity. S ) — A City Paved with Silver and Gold. The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise says: “Our principal streets being: macadamized with refuse ore taken from the mines in early days, and being coated with the rich ore that has been year after year sifted down upon them from the ore wagons, are now everywhere more or less argentiferous. Indeed there is not the slightest streteh of imagination in saying that we never take a step in town but we are walking on silver—that our streets are literally paved with silver. While speaking of this fact, a day or two 'since, a young man bet his friend the price of the assaying and the cigars that he would take a lump of mud off the wheel of a ’bus, then standing before them, and would get out of it precious metals to the value of over five dollars per ton. An ounece or two of mud was taken from the wheel of the vehicle and placed in the hands of the assayer, who was not told where the sample was obtained, and who no doubt thought he was dealing with decomposed ore of vein matter from one of our mines. The assay was made, and the assayer’s certificate showed that the sample contained, silver, $7.54; gold, $2.32; total, $9.86. After this we may put on airs, even though our streets are villainously muddy occasionally, for the very mud on our boots contains silver and gold —lis not the vulgar mud of the ‘cow country’ towns.” : - E— v Now that the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. company is running its trains to Chicago, and across LaPorte county, it is worth while to note these facts concerning the early years of that great company. It was organized in April 1827,/and -the first stone was laid by Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, one of the signers of the declaration of independence, on July 4th 1828. In two years the company had laid thirteen miles of track, the road reached Ellicott’s Mills, and the cars were drawn by horses, while nothing better than horse power was thought possible on a crooked road. Though steam was then in use in England, it had not been applied in America. To Peter Gooper, yet living in an honored old age in New York City, must be accorded the honor of demonstrating the fact that steam locomotives conld be used on a track having, curves in it. He construeted a railway locomotive, and made with jt a successful run, on the 28th day of Angust, 1880, running it himself from Baltimore to Ellicott’s Mills, and veturn, Fhus feeble in its beginning the growth of this company has been gradual but healthy, and now its last great triumph, the grasping of Chicago with its iron arms has made Baltimore a rival of New York for the trade of the Atlantic.—LaPorte Chronicle, Hona o j

Tug largest hog we have heard of being raised was that of Mr, A, H. Beham, of Fompkins county, New York, who, in 1864, raised a hog that weighed 1355 Ibs gross, It was a challenge to the worid, still ten years have gmed and yef. Mr, Beham’s hog is ing in size, : iy

Nor long since, on one of the Penn- { sylvania railroads, a man was discoy= ered stealing a ride under the cars. The train had stugf)ed at Reading, and while tapping and testing the wheels ~at the new depot, the inspector was i astonished to find secreted on one of ;the wheel trucks that supports the | body of the passenger car a middle- ' aged man, who in this manner had }stolen his passage from Harrisburg. }The stranger was ordered to vacate ‘ his ‘dangerous hiding-place and on 'I creeping out appeared to be cold and . stiff. He stated that he had come all ! the way from California and had trav- % eled altogether in that manner.

PorLiTE REQUESTS for an exchange with papers from various localities of the State reach us about every other day. We regret the necessity of refusing these applications; but, really, gentlemen, our exchange list is already larger than we care about havingit. It contains about a dozen papers that are of no value tous; yet we maintain an .exchange as a mere matter of accom‘modation. It is not simply the expense which precludes additions to our ex. list, but too much of our time is wasted in looking over papers that, as a rule contain butlittle of interest to ' us. We would likeito-accommodate l‘ all who apply, but for the reason above set forth we feel reluctantly obliged ‘ to decline adding any new exchanges to our list. o

No vse of any ‘longer. taking the large, repulsive, griping, drastic and nauceous pills, composed of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes,when we can, by a careful application of chemical science, extract all the cathartic and other medicinal properties from the most valuable roots and herbs, and concentrate them into a minute Granule, scarcely larger than, a mustard seed, that can be readily: swallowed by those of the most sensitive stomachs and fastidious tastes. Each of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets represents, in &4 most concentrated form, as much ‘cathartic power as is embodied in any of the large pills found for sale in the drug stores. I'rom their wonderful cathartic power, in proportion to their size, people who have.not tried them are apt to suppose that they are harsh or drastic in effect, but such is not at all the case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed being so harmonized, one by the others, as to produce a most searching and thorough, yet gently and kindly operating cathartic. The Pellets are sold by dealers in medicines.

¢ A Valuable Medical! Treatise. The edition for 1875 of the sterling Medical Annual, known as Hostetter’s Almanae, is now ready, and may be obtained, free of cost, of druggists and general country dealers in all parts of the United States and British America, and indeed in every civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere. This Almanac has been issued regularly at the commencement of every year for about one-fifth of a century. It combines with the soundest practical advice for the preservation and restoration of health, a large amount of interesting and amusing light reading, and the calender, astronomical calculations, chronological items, &ec., are prepared with great care, and will, be found entirely accurate. The issue of Hostetter’ss Almanac for 1875 -will probably be the largest edition of a medical work ever published in any country. The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter & Smith; Pittsburgh, Pa., on receipt of a two-cent stamp, will forward a copy by mail to any person who cannot procure one in his neigh‘borhood. 32-5%

Tue Indianapolis Sentinel favors some wholesome and economical reforms in the management of the State Prison North and the State Prison South. The former has a.bpard of directors consisting of thg#e persons who receive a compensaticir of three dollars per diem each for three hundred and sixty-fiveidays; while the latter is under the supervision of a like number of directors who have set their salaries at eight hundred dollars per annum each. The Sentinel thinks the consolidation of the two prisons under one board of directors would prove both economical and convenient. The salaries of the directors should also be reduced one hundred per cent. The democratic legislature cannot shirk this responsibility.—Valparaiso Messenger. : :

Ture wheat in LaPorte and St. Joseph counties never looked better, yet. I hear that same old story of fears of winter-kill from some. A few days of winter weather without snow is enough to call out the whiners, grumblers, and those who are always borrowing trouble; but the sensible farmer is happy over the prospects of to-day and declines to make himself miserable at the thought of what might happen, and the fear that something will come to pass. The prospect for a fine crop of wheat was never better at this season of the year, and neither heavy growth nor want of snow ought to make the farmer sad. All will be well.—E. G. McCollum, in the LaPorte Argqus.

T APRINTONTS AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA. - -~ New Reyised Edition. i Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from aew type, and illustrated with Several Thousand En- . gravings and Maps. - Tur work originally published under the title of Tug NEW AMERICAN 'CYCLOPEDIA was comple‘ted in 1863, since which time the wide circnlation which it has attained in all parts of the United, "States, and the signal developments which have ‘taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, and to issuz a new edition entitled THr AMERIOAN -CYCLOPEDIA. -

- Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperaive want, = -

The movement of political aftairs has kept pace will®the-discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, 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. *- 3 : Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been maﬁ%" the indefatigable explorers of Africa. = = e e W

The great political revolutions of the last des cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every ong's mouath, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the partreulars. “Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but-which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. b

. In preparing the presentse ition for the press it has accordingl thg aim of the editors to bring down the= latiqn to the latest possible dates. and to furnikh an dcéurate account of the most recent discoversesdw/science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a succinet and original record of the progress of politicaland historical events. : Thework has been begun alter long and cares ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for darrying it on to a successful termination. ‘ :

None of the original stereotype plates havebeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, formingin fact & new Cyclopsedia with the sanfe plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a.far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such imprévements in its composition as have heen suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. i . - .The illustrations which ave introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake ol;jncmrinl effect, but to give ~greater lucidity and force to the explanations in ‘the text. They embrace all branches of explanationg'in the text. They embrace all branches of iscicnce and of natural history, and depict the -most Tamous and remarkable feature of scenery, | architecture, and art, as well as the various pro--cezses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for: ingtruction rather than embellish‘ment, no pains have been sp?red to ingure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormouns, and it is believed they will find a welccme reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopwedia, and worthy of its high character.. . This work 1s sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume.
