FATTEN HOGS.
i The natural climate of the Hog, like the
negro, is nearer to the tropics f therefore
the best tirie to fatten thU animal is be
fore cold weather sets is. It is only on
jthq rich lads of the West, wbere corn is
leasily andcheaply raised, that hogs are
raised in lirf - iiumbers with profit.
A sma! lot ol hogs may be kept on
every frii with profit as scavengers
Without siavengors. suck as the hot? and
bvizzard, tfie atmosphere would become a
Deo-luteal pestlential effluvium. Com is
profitably fd to hogs when it is a
most
a little
too hard for roasting ears ; when in this
stage they) will often eat corn, cob, stalks
and all. Hogs should have a spacious
lot to feed in, and never be imprisoned iii
a pen ; however, they will fatten faster
m a close, pen; those fattened on the
ground with plenty of room will exercise
enough to throw off some of the disease
producing matter and are more fit for food.
But lootc at the stupid gluttonous beast
imprisoned in his pen, wallowing in his
own filth ; at every breath he inhales the
foul emanations from his offal. An ani
mal fattened under such -unpbysiological
conditions must be diseased.
A swill barrel should not be tolerated
on any firm ; it is always in a state of
fermentation ; the strong sour smell indi
cates rottenness ; swarms of maggot flies
revel in stch corruption ; let your hogs
have the slop before it ferments. The
hog being Ipiore liable to disease than all
otheranimals, and his f e It being the cause
of more disease io the human family than
all other causes. should be a considera
tion wort h; noticing in producing pork.
It is flkaily stated that the loss from
hogs that pie of disease in this country is
annually liiot less thau twenty million
dollars; i some countries where distille
ries are ntjmerous five thousand have died
of disease fjn one season.
ome farmers give their fattening hogs
salt, which will make them gain in weight
much 'faster; but it produces a morbidly
increased (appetite and occesions consti
pation. The result is the animal fills up
with effete matters which are accumula
ted in tlif cellular tissue of the form of
ftt. The animal grows more bulky, and
as its commercial value is reckoned bv
weight, this process, of fattening is profit
able to those who sell the swine, but not
those who eat it; for the adipose accumu
latjon is ifself a morbid condition, ami the
more anyinimal is fattened the more un
wholesom it becomes. Exchange.

ana only a lew cows are hen:, u is usual
ly not profitable to keep a large stock of
pigs. J lie common mistake made, how
ever is not in keeping too many, but in
not, leeupjg mem nooraliy. As a rule,
the pigs are kept on short allowance un

til they are shut up to fatten, after the

doubt thfit a bushel of corn, fed to pigs

produce pbuble or treble as much pork' as

in the autumn, when the pigs have uoth
ing but lorn. A lew pigs can be kept
in ine. varus uimng winter to good ad

COLOR AS A SOURCE OF LIFE.1
Commissioner Pleasanton, who runs the
Interior Department at Wasbiiigtbn. exi
perimeuts with, nature and deduces con
clusions that a blue sky was most favor
able of all o;hers to life of all descriptions,
so be arranged to produce that mauner of
life in a graperyr Every eighth row of
glass in the roof of the arbor was violet
colored, which arrangement enabled the
sun to-. cast violet rays on every leaf in
the grapery during (he day. The result
was most astonishing. The vines grew
beyond all calculation, and the yield of
grapes was most tremendous. In two
years the vines produced twelve hundred
pounds of fruit, while in old grape growl
ing countries jt requhes fgufor five years
to obtain it from new .vines. He next tried
the experiment of subjecting animal life
to the same influence.
A litter of pigs was separated, one half
of the pigs being placed uuder the ordi
nary and the other half under the violet
light. The same rapicTdevelope.it char
acterixed the pigs that cat Hurler the blue,
while those that rema.u exposed to the
ordinary while light continued as before.
But the most remarkable experiment was
in tbe case of ;tn Alderney malecalf which
was subjoined to the new principle. The
calf at its birth was weak and puny, and
j not expected to live. Placed in n pen
uiiucr a vnuei coioreu giass rooi, it im
mediately began to improve, and so con
tiuued to do until in fifty days he gained
six inches in height, and at the end of
the year he had gained his maturity. He
ia now a splendidly developed animal.-
lliis fact the experimenter considers the
most marvelous of all, and he is curious
to know what results these experiments
wilt ieaa to nereauer.
The principle upon which Commission
er Pleasanton. proceeds is, that . the blue
color deoxygenatts the carbonic acid gas,
supplying carbon o vegetable life, and
sustaining both vegetable and animal life,
with its oxygen ; and that the magnetic,
electric and thermic power of the sun's
rays reside in the violet ray, which is a
compound of the blue and red ray. With
these suggestions as his postulate, the
experiments which we have enumerated
wem entered upon. The result must
be productive of experimenting in the fu
ture, for if the life of an animal or a vine
may be invigorated by the light of the
sun strained through a glass roof, what is
to prevent the same beneficial principal
from assisting human weakness.

MILKING WITH DRY HANDS.
I believe that much of the milk trets
tainted with noxious or bad odors before
it readies the pad. borne persons, and
hired help especially, have a habit of
welt ng thuir fingers wi li ttie milk once in
a whil . ind then welling the cows teats,
as they say, to make them milk easier.
Iow this wetting process causes much
foul stuff to drop from thvtr hands or teats
in the pail while milking. This is all
Wiong cows can be milked as easj with
dry hands as wet ones. 1 have been in
the habit of milking cows ; and although
1 have met with some hard milkers that
require their teats to be sefteutd iu order
to draw the milk, I have generally found
it both easier and plcasanter to milk with
dry hands. If the teats are dirty, the
ndder should be washed with tepid "water
and allowed tmdry before milking; and
if the teats are Very hard and tough to
draw, the cow better be turned intu beef,
or kept to raise calves from.
luis just as easy to make good, sweet,
clean butter, as to make poor butter. The
best of butter is made from sweet cream
gathered as free from milk as possible.
To make good butter requires more than
ordinary care and attention. Everything
should be with the regularity of the sun.
To make butter profitable, great care
mus,t be exercised in milking the cows.
To milk cleau is important. It not only
adds to the quantity of butter, but saves
the cow from positive injury. Let tho far
mer or his dairy get the nam of keeping
a good article of butter in every respect,
and will find it not only to pay, but pay
well, too. Practical farmer.
Siiockixg Outrage at Negroes.
A dispatch from Richmond, Va., to the
New York World, dated the 25th ultimo,
says that a report .received- from Green
brier. county, West Virginiagives the de
tails of a shocking outrage which occurred
in the township of Palestine. It seems
that a man in the employ of Mr. George
Vr. Perry, had a difficulty with Mr. Lewis
F. Watts, in which W&tta was whipped.
Watts then employed two iiegroes and a
white roan to. go to Perry's at night time
fr the purpose of beating Ms antagonist.
The white man remained ini the road and
the negroes knocked at-the doiir, and
were admitted by Mr. Perry. The man
they were looking after, stepped behind
the door as it was opened, aud the. ne
groes not .seeing.. him in the room, went
uo stairs iu search of him. As soon as
they stalled up, lie spring, out and ran
to the railroad tor assistance. The ne
groes, after searching in vain for Lim up
stairs came down and fell upon Mr Per
ry and his young 6on and beat them far-
fully-. ;
They then seized Mr.; Perry, threw
her on the bed, and tied her by the hair
to the bed, after whichjhey outraged her
person. They then attempted to outrage
a little girl ouly twelve years of age, do
ing her serious injury. Mrs. Perry, in
her struggles .to escape, bad nearly all
her hair pulled from her head by the
roots, but she finally succeed, and fled to
a neighbor's in her night clothes for pro
tection. The man who had gone for as
sistance retarned and captured the offend
ers. w luey then went to Wall s , and ar
cure until the nextday. Tbe news spread
rapidly, and the people flocked in whit
guns determined ou lynching all the guil4
'.y parties. These, however, were secur
ed in a strongly built Louse, so that they!
were not reached, although derpwte eft
forts were made. They wens tried nid

Faxbi-T, Oct. 3, 18ul !
The court met at 5 p. m., Judge Bond

On motion of PUto Durham, Esq., WV

Xhere being no bill found against him. j
Mat ion B.idges was admitted to bail.

Mr. Whitesides appealed to the conrj
to remit the sent nee of two years' m
prison went and a fine of $100 imposed
upon Wm. C. Depriest. Mr. Whitesides
reminded the court that the defendant
had attended but one meeting: ihat'li
had been convicted on but the third count
in Ihe indictment and endorsed him as'ati
inoffensive and influential man.
Mr. Phillips, for the government, had
heard- nothing more to the prejudice of
the dt fendaut thau appeared on the trial,
except that he thought Mr. Depriest was
the man who suggested to the defence the
question as to stolen property put to Aa
ron Biggerstaff. Still, he thought, allowi
ance might be made for unwise zeal shown
in the heat of a prosecution. He would
leave tbe matter to the court.
Judge Bond regretted the necessity of
punishing any of these parties, but lis
did not think he could change the judg
ment in this case He was satisfied Dir
priest had nothing to do with the whip
ping of Biggerstaff, but the impressioii
made on his mind was that the d fondant
was a bad man, and was' responsiblu for
many of the young men joining the oc
ganiz iiou. He had two sons in the or
der and he should have advised them.
In tl e case of the U. S. vs. Amos Ow

RADICAL ROBBERY OF THE
SOUTH.
Whatever may be the truth in regard
to the alleged frauds in New York, says
the Washington Patriot, the question is
distinctly local, and concerns a suigli:
community, who are now dealing with-it
sternly in their own way, and determined
to reform a charter, wliich was mainly
imposed upon them by the almost solid
vole of the Republicans iu the Legisla
ture. A subject of far greater magni
tude and graver import, affecting the
wl ole country, demands attention at our
hands. V e refer to the enormous rob
ot ry of the Southern States, perpetrated
by. the agents and emissaries of the Na
tional Administration, in support of its
policy, and intended to promote there
election of General Grant Our limitld
space does not permit more than a glance
at the system of organized plunder, which
has been practiced in every State udder

BOILER EXPLOSIONS.
To the Editor of th Scicniitc A meHcam :
It is an established maxim, that the
best judge of any science or art, U a per
son who has made that science or art his
particular study. Therefore has the world
looked to the practical engineer lox an
exjl uution of the causts of tbe frequent '
team boiler explosions. But the reeut
examination of the so called ciperts
shows that the world (and, no doubt, tho"
experts also) has beru deceived. The
examination culd show that tha me
chanical portion of an engiue U more
studied by engineers than the chemical
phenomena prodoced by tbe agents they
are employing. They all agree that a
aii am boiler may be exploded ; tut,
what is the combination of facta to pro
duce this eflcct, is a question. Fortu-
' nte (without intending it, perhaps).
, 'nuSe baa pointed to the difficulty-
I "Explosion ; the act of driving out aur-
thing wiih noise and violence ' "Barst;
to break suddeuly ." Tbe bursting of a
boiler, then, wou'd seem to imply tbeaud
den breaking of a segment ol tbe Wler,
escape of steam and boiling aster, scald
ing of fireman and engineer, and tfcote
who carelessly placed themselves la the
range of danger. WhUV the explosion of
a boiler, as w e too well know, involves not
only the lives of the careless, and Tery
often ignorant, engiuecr, but also thelirer
of all entrusted to his care. U'e are too
apt to say we know the nature of a body,
when we know several of the uses to
which ivmay be applied, aud Athe conse
quences of such application, in greater or
lesser quantities, simply or in combina
tion; but to know the nature of a body,
is to know the original materials of iu
constitution, and the mode of their com
bination ; and those matctials should bo
known iu their primitive, or most simple
a. a aa
state, ana me knowledge of tbe combina
tion should include all tbe intermediate
changes, in all their details, from tbe pri-
.r ti .... r .

macninery, but also chemistry at least.
so fcr as it relates to those bodies which
ie is obliged to use. A committee of
men thus educated wisuld not be long in
investigating and giviug the true cause of
steam boiler explosius.
N e are gravely told, in some of our
school books on natural philosophy, that
experiments were mide by a committee
of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia,
ai me suggestion and exnensa of th
Iniud .States Treasury IVnattment.
showing that the generation cf hydrogen
gas, in steam boilers, however high ibeir
a a
neat may be, never takes place : !After
many trials, with the express design ol
fuming hydrogen in a steam boiler, if
possible, they never produced a trace ot
this gas. Irom the decomnnsiiion f
water." Again: "Even if the gas in
question were formed in overheated boil
ers, no damage could accrue from iu
presence, since hydiogcu never explod
w imou: being mixed w un oxygen or
common air, neither of which t vrr exist
in a f team boiler when iu use ; besides,
were these two gases iu the stecm boiler,
ready for explosion, still no danger would
exit, since they never uke fi e except
a" a. . .
irom contact with tlame. Ileuce, all
danger from hydrogen in the boil
r exists only iu the imagination."
We are told by some chemUla (from
Uie laboratory), that the spheroidal
state of the water is the cause cf
the explosion ; but we kuow that tbe
spheroidal state of the water cannot ex
ist unless the boiler be overheated ; and
il there be a sufficiency of water, and a
safety valve, the boiler caunot be over
heated ; therefore, with a sufficiency of
water in the boiler, and safely valve, wo
cannot have the spheroidal slate of tbo
water, nor an explosiou of tbe boiler.
Ix t us now see w hat is the effect of an
insufficiency of water in a boiler which is
well healed: Tbe flame, or beat, passing
through a flue, or under a surface of a
boiler not coverd by water, soon causes it
to become red hot ; the steam necessarily
comes in contact with this red hot irou.
"Iron decompose s steam at all temp
tun s, from fiom a dull rd to a white
heat, appiopriating its oiygeu." In this
way it would take but a short time (ac
ending to the sui face exposed) to convert
the greater portion of the steam into its
elements, hydrogen, w hich remains free
iu tbe boiler, and oxygen, which the heat
ed iron appropriates to itself, formiug
oxide of iion. While the ruachibery is
not in motion, or the steam not escaping
freely, the hydrogen fills the upper oi
tion of the boiler, and does nut come iu
contact w itb tho red hot iron, nor its
oxide; but any cause which may produce
an expansion or dietuiLaucc ot the gas,
eo as to bring it into contact with the;
' oxide of iron 1 e ited to the same tem
perature as will dccoujjOM; (team," l be
gases will immediately become chemical
ly combined, produciug a most intense
beiil (-'the uioet lulctitfc heat that can W
produced is caused by the combustiou of
hydrogen gas"), and causing au explo
sion, at the eaiue time the "oxide of iron
w ill be reduced to its metallic state."
("Turner's Chemestry," lt4C, fcby Rodg
ers, page 333 ) Tbe cimple experiment
bumiug a mixture of the gases in what is
icirtMd an hydrogen gun, or experiment
i.gwith the eudiometer in a basin -f
water, w ill satisfy any scientific engineer,
not only as Uo the cause of steam boiler ex
plosious, bu; how ibey may be ntmdied.
