From exposure or improper diet, or both, the little girl was attacked with the Croup, the third night from home. She aroused her mother trom sleep, by hugging her around the neck. She could not speak, luid it was with extreme dilficulty that she coidd breathe. I sprang from the bed and hast ened for a tub, and pail of cold wat'^r. I striped her and placed her in the tub, and poured the water on her freely. We then took her into bed and com menced rubbing her briskly with flannels and gave her cold water to drink. She became better rajiidly, anil witJiin one hour, we were quietly asleep again. In the morning, our littlle girl received her usual bath, and has continued well to the present time.

"W e hope the Faculty will carefully exam ine this matter. W e need not ask parents to give heed to it.

CRl’SIIED CORN 3IEAL—WINTFIUXG HOGS, &c. Indebted to the Farm«‘rs’ Register for manv va- luaV)le lacts and .suirgestions, in relation to agricultu ral operations, I f(;el mys( If bound to endeavor to discharge the obligation I have thus inctirred, by j communicating, from time to time, for the benefit of j your correspondents and readers, brief notes of such j improvements in the prevailing modes of manage- j ment in rural economy, as I can recommend to the j adoption of my brotlier farmers, upon the authority of my personal t '.pr'-i.-nce and observation. A few words at present as to the best mode of wintering ho!js. My stock consits of two large breeding sows, far advanced in pregnancy, (I design their pig-s for pork next winter,) and eleven shoats, eijjht about five and three about seven n’onths old ; all pronounced by my neighbors very fine animals. The pigs are con fined in a pen of good size, so situated that thev can bask at pleasure in the sun-shine. and provided with a warm and dry sleeping apartment, separated trom the body of the pen by a close wall of rails, about two and a half t'eet high, with a hole at one end, for ingress and eoress. and covered with a sloping roof of plank overlapping each other. The pen is not j floored, but is kept sutficienfly drv by an abundant supjtly ot shucks, corn-stalks, and refuse straw, out of which my pigs are industriously manufacturing several loads of excellent manure. My breeding sows run at large, because I have not as yet found it convenient to build them a pen,; but they find a warm bed in my stable, anti rarely wander far from my premises. I feed my hogs reg\il,^irly twice a day. morning ancl evenintr. I woidd greatly prefer feed ing young hogs three times a day, if I could do it with any sort of convenience, with slop made by boiling meal made of corn crushed in the ear, and ground ear and c(d) together. I find, by repeated experiment.^, that one gallon of crushed corn meal, V'f l! boih'd. \. ill. w hen cooled, make about five gal- loi’s of thick niut-h. 'riiis mush I mix, in feeding, wi h about an equal quantity of hot water, frequent ly throv h)g ii tolh“ y.^W a double handful of bran, slirring it w* 11, ana giv' il to my pigs warm. I put a handiu! of salt into the pot about three times a week, and occasionally a shovel full of ashes. With this allowance, m}* hogs are in finer order and much better condition than any of my ncighV»ors’, and some of them are fat enough for the knite. I boil my meal at convenient times in a pot holding ol»out five gal lons. I prefer letting the water boil before the meal is stirred in. The meal is thoroughly mixed with the water by means of a Hat paddh*, and is sullered to boil violently for half an hour or more. I w'ould prefer a cheap boiling apparatus, but having just commenced farming, 1 have not found time to build a furnace. I shall be prepared, however, by next wdntf r, to fatten my hogs on boiled roots and'crush- ed corn mea!. ^ . itii a large kettle^ and a barrel to hold the mush, mt'ny gallon.s might be prepared daily in every kit chen, by tJie s( rvant.^, ader the meals are cooked, and especially at night by the large roaring fires which the negroes will keep to warm themselves by. I know no way, excej)t, perhaps, by feeding on roots, in which hogs can be so well kept througJi winter at so little expense. My stock of thirteen, for instance, consume only a peck of crushed corn meal, equal to a single gallon of corn, a day. Thi.«, at the rate at which corn is selling in my neighborhood, 37 1-2 cts. a bushel, is only one-tlnrd of a cent a day for each hog. The manure wall nmre than pay for the extra trouble and expense of preparing the food. This strikes use, on reflection, as even a cheaper mode of sustaining hogs through the winter than I b} feeding them with potatoes or the sugar beet or ^ mangel wurtzcl. A peck of potatoes, the usual dai- 1 ly allowance to each hog, would be G 1-4 cts. a day, : at the price at which potatoes are now' selling in my I neighborhood; and, supposing that 500 bushels of I sugar beet are equal in product to 40 bushels of corn to the acre, then, if each hog be allowed a peck of sugar beet daily, the 40 bushels of corn ground up cob and corn together, and boiled into good slop’ will, upon the principles of calculation furnished by my cxj>eriment, go more than twice as far as the 500 bushels of sugar beet As to whole corn, it is evi dent that four times the quantity I consumed in slop, that i.s, a peck daily, would hardly keep thirteen hogs in living order. My corn is crushed at a neighbor ing mill, where I haul it by the w'agon load, and take away meal when I want it. For crushing and grin ding I pay a toll of one-tenth. A neighbor of mine, a large iron manufacturer, feeds his mules on crushed corn meal mixed with cut straw, and though they w’ork hard every day, they are as fat as it is desirable to have them. Crush ed corn meal, at from 15 to 25 cents a bushel, accor ding to the price of corn, is, it seems to me, tiie chea pest horse feed tliat can be used. It is certainly cheaper than oats, or rye, or whole corn. The far mers in this neighborhood are beginning to use it quite extensively. It is much healtiiier than whole corn, as well as cheaper. A neighbor informs me that he fattened an old co\v last fall on crushed corn meal, that she fattened re markably fast, made first rate beef, and yielded an enormous quantity of tallow for a cow' of her size. I Iced my milch cow twice a day with half a gal lon of crufihed corn meal boiled in about four gal lons of water; and w’ould not want better slop for a milch cow\ Crushed com meal being so valuable for feeding all kinds of stock, ever\’ mill, and every planter and farmer having a horse power, either for a cotton gin or a threseing machine, ought to be provided with fi corn crusher. While he w'ould thus promote his in dividual interest, the country w’ould save millions of dollars annually. I obst'rved in a late (Cultivator, a notice of a machine called “The Virginia Corn- CKtTsiiER,” w’hich, fifter fiv'e years’ trial, is represf*n- ted by the manufacturer, Robert Sinclair, Jr., of Bal timore, a.*? an efficient and durable machine, not lia ble to get out of order, and crushing tw’enty bushels of corn per hour with one horse, fine enough for feeding any kind of stock. Mr. S. says he has sold a mnnber of them, and that they have given univer sal satisfaction. If the machine is as valuable as it is represented to be, a tolerably large farmer would save the price of one ('$♦35) in a single year. Tw’o or more neighbors might club together and buy one, or several farmers might establish a machine at some mill in their neighborhood. The toll would soon pay tor the machine. While I am writing, I would just caution your rea ders against throwing hog or beefto hogs: one of my ;neighbors having just lost two valuable SOW'S by the carelessness of his negroes in tliis par ticular. The lights choke tJic hogs. PLOUGHBOY. Rockbridge, Va., De'. 2S, l^tO. and IJnclc Sam ”—alluding, exclusively, then, to the said “Uncle Sam” Wilson. The joke took among the workmtii, and passed currently; and “ Uncle Sam” himself bf ing prtsent, was occasion ally rallied by them on the increasing extent of his poss« ssions. Many of th(se woikmcn being of a character denominated “ food for powder.” were found shortly after folknving the recruiting drum, and pushing toward the frontier lin(s, for the double purpose of meeting the tnemy, and of eating the provisions they had so lately labored to put in good order.— Their old jokes of couise accompanied them, and before the first campaign ended, this identical one first appeared in piint—it gain'd favor rapidly, till it p. riftrated and was rocognisid in every part of the country, and will, no doubt, continue so while the* U. S. remain a nation. It originated precist ly as above stated ; and the writer of this article dis- tiJictly recoll.'cts rnnaiking, at a time when it first appeared in print, to a person who was equally aware of its origin, how odd it w'ould be should this silly joke, originating in the midst of beef, pork, piciik', salt, mud, and hoop-poles, eventually be- ^coinc a national cognomen. V A It I E T Y A Noble Child.—W^iile the United States was drawing near thj? Macedonia, a child on board said to Decatur—“ Commodore, I wish you would put my name on the muster-roll.” “What for?”— “ That I may get a share of the prize-money.” It was done—ailer the capture, the Commodore said, ‘’W'fll, Ned, she’s our’s, and your share of the prize money will be about what w’ill you do with it ? ” “ ni St nd 8100 to my mother, and the oth( r shall send me to school.” This boy is now a midshipman. Jugs. The Jug is the most singular utensil - a- pail, tuinbler, or de*caut^ r^ay be rinsed, and yoxt may satisfy yourself hy optical proof that the thing js clean , but the jug has a little hole in the top. an»i the inteiini is all darkness. No eye penetrates if no hand movts over the surface. ‘Y'ou can clea.n It only by putting in water, shaking it up and pour ing It out. If the water comcs out clean, you judger you have succeeded m purifying the jug,‘ and vice versa. Hence the jug is like the human heart. No mortal eye can look into, its reccsses^ but you can judge of its purity or impurity only by what comoti out of it. City Habits.—A gentleman from Boston, on a visit to his friend in the country, speaking of the tim* s. observt d that his wife had lately expended ^50 for a habit. His friend replied, “ here in the country we don’t allow our wives to £'et into such habits.^'' ® Grace. Dr. Franklin, when a child, found the graces made by his father before and after meals very tedious; one day, aftnr the winter’s pro visions had been sahed, “ I thinV, father ” said Benjamin, “ if yoiL were to say Grace over the whole cask once for all—it w’Duld be a vast saving of time.” Nautical Sermon.—W'lun Whitfield preached before the seame n at New York, he had the fol- low'ing bold apostrophe in his sermon; “ W>11, my boys, we have a clear sky, and are making fine headway over a smooth sea, before a light breeze, and we shall soon lose sight of land. But what means this sudden lowering of the hea vens, and that dark cloud arising from b('neath the western horizon? Hark ! Don’t you h* ar distant thunder ?
