'Hie moral j that unthrifty fami ngannt repair its deficiencies by relying on the nest of breeds ; and the man that would eco nomically fatten his animal, however good its kind, must study Kts comfort in the matter ut iuod, and, we must atlil. ehelter.

If yourneigh burs have sich, avoid alliances with them. .Those roaming hordes of ra zor-bneked alligators," as Mr. George, of JeR'erson county, Ohio, graphically declares of them, " will tonnage to steal a inarch not onlv on vou. but on their (.ess amorous mate competitors of the C hina or other breeds, and thus transmit their own depravity in their oBspring representatives, and produce a ruina tion of your plans. One of the great est obstacles to improvement arises from these hordes of worthless animals turned out by their owners, often with small profit to both, and almost an ab solute curse to the whole neighbor hood." The picture is true lu the very life. 2. Is it iiwslttthunlancom to kcci) hogs fat all the time' Mr. phiuner, of Lex- ingtnn, Mass., a pork raiser 01 the very bent experience, settles the question fully; "If intended for killing at the age of nine or ten months, they should be full fed all the time, and kept as fat as possible. If to be killed at fifteen ; or eighteen months old, thev not be made very fat for the first ten or twelve .months, ; The reason is ob vious.

Management of food and thefter are important: A guod clover pasture a Hon! a he cheapest summer supply. It should be couvenieut to the bouse, to allow. the. pigs tube fed also with the refuse mill? of thedairr.and swill from the kitchen. ' When there is no such riasture, no more pin should be kept than cau be kept on the waste of the kitchen. It will not par Jo feed 012s here on articles at the market prices. The peculiar economy of oiir-iaisinz lies in the fact, that although the pig is a great cater, be will eat what no thin else will, aad which would there- lore be lost. But. four or six months before killinz, he Jsh'ouUl be penned. and.a short time before killing fed on corn. Thotish C0-n may occasionally be fed in the ear. it is better ordinarily to be ground, and then fully scalded or boiled, in which cvaditioa it may be mixed With boiled roots or other feed. You may save, in general, how ever, by Uoiliuir vou r corn, whea shelv ed, without grinding; it will auswer the same end. IJave your pens so constructed that your pigs cannot root, c - . e. ...

Iet them also be warm and quiet during the period of fattening, so as to indace sleep, and, when 'ihjejr are in their beds, by no means disturb them. 'Give them occa sionally. rotten wood and charcoal.'and frequently put wood ashes and salt on their JootL , 6. In reipeet to Breeding; do not let the boar run with your stock ; and Uo not keen your sows at any time too fat, , in which condition they are not likely to breed. It is advantageous to have a litter from a young sow at twelve or fourteen months old, in time to fatten her for fall or winter killing; but it should be remembered that her second auu third litters will most likely be better than the first. These remarks on economical pork raising do not apply to .Indiana, and other rich corn States of the West, wiicre pork i raised wholesale, as the most available way of bringing the pro. duce of the farm into the market. W ith those States we cannot compete, aud we repeat that to make pork-raising profitable in the ordinary w ay of house keeping or farming, but fittle food must be bought for them, and but little fed to them, when it cau be sold for the present good prices in the Middle and Eastern States.. 13.

We ran recollect the time (says the Pitts burg Post) when corn sold in Ohio for twelve and ay half cents per bushel. while at the same time it was worth se ven times as much in Boston. It cost nearly all it was yvo'rth to carry it to the markets ftotu Ohio. Now the far mer in Iowa cai send his wheat and a . a Sk. s- sk r a corn all the wav to inow yoi k and Boston by railroads, and get full east ern prices for it, except the low cost of a speedy transit by the rails. All over the broad land the rail roads are stretching in every directiou, and the price of farm lands rapidly rising aud the products of those lands have immediate access to all the best mar kets of the world. The rail roads also develop the mineral wealth of the coun try. Many a coai oeu anti iron nas lain valueless for centuries, until some rail road has brought them within the reach of the markets. The business of the whole country, and its wealth too, arc doubled by steam and the rail. Steam and the rail make neighbors of the most distant communities. Washington city will be as accessible from California in ten years, as from Ohio twenty years ago. Ana ironi ?an rrancisco to Lon don orParis the journey may yetbe made in niteen days ; ami a ntisourger may a at. . . a travel to Constantinople in twelvedays. With such facilities lor traveling, men will and do "go to and fro in the earth, and knowledge increases. And as knowledge increases, the prejudices of nations give way ; the human race be comes more assimilated and friendly, and knowledge more universally dif fused. Steam and the rail are revo lutionizing the world. Standard. Palpitation of the Heart Cured by Soda Water. -A lady, about 40 years old, had su tier ed for 12 years from periodical attacks of palpitation of the heart, so violent as to shake the bed on which the pa tient lay. During one attack, teelmg thirsty, she expressed a desire for some ; soda water. No sooner had she swal lowed the first draught when her pal pitation left her, and recuraed no more until the period of the next attack. As soon as it commenced she sent for her medical attendant,- and told him what had occurred a month previously, and requested to be atlowetl to try the , same remedy the .second time, lie , consented, but wishingto ascertain 4 A which of the ingredients of soda water had rtl eved the complaint, he cave her a dose of the citric acid by itsalf. This had do effect. He thro gave her a due of carbonate soda, witch also fail ed., lie then mixed the powders, and gave her some ordinary soda water, placing hisHaud at the unne time on her heart. . The moment he allowed the first mouthful the palpitation eras ed, and recurrrd no more fur that time. From that periwl, whenever the palpi tation ratne on, she could always stop it by thjf. simple remedy. It appears, from the experiments, made by medi cal men, that carbonic acid waa the active element in relieving the coir.. ' plaint, because until the gas was libe ra ten oy fe mixture of citric acid and the carbonate soda, no benefit accru ed. Jourmit of llemhk. TitaTi RKs. There have been ma ny reports of late years in respect to the condition of Turkey as a nation. Me writer having declared it to be in the last atage of political decrepi tude, while others of clarer vision have seen a gradual but decided improve ment both in power and civilization. Turkey is undoubtedly weak to a cer tain extent, by reason of the creeds and nationalities of its numerous sub'ect . .. being not oulf at variance with tha Mussulman faith, Imt in many respects antagonistic to it. Nor is the govern- ment.especiallyofthel'ashalics.suchtt a more enlightened civilization would ' admire; but, with all these drawbacks. the Alolem Empire, strelchins from Servia to Abyssinia, is far front being in jhat State of aJerrrnitude which shjvjlow thinkers suppose. The Turks Tpeople are infinitely superior to tho' Greek and Armenians (hat form so large a portion or the population, and their capacity of enlightenment is at least equal. Now that old ptejudi- ' res have been already partially broken down, now that the turban has given . place to the Prankish hat, the pelisse and loose .lowing trowsers to coat and pantaloons, the same advance has been made to more important changes as was e flee ted by Peter the Great when he cut off the beard of his Boyards. aney aie do longer a ouiiRCiive peo ple. - They begin to .entertain more liberal .ideas.

Thk Greek Cuvncn. The present controversy iu Eastern Europe has de veloped a number of interesting facts in regard to the Greek church, proba bly new to most American readers, which clearly demonstrate the arro gance and impudence of the Emperor of Russia, in claiming the right to ex ercise a protectorate over the mem bers of that church in Turkey.
