Early Rising. A young far
mer, who found himself going
to ruin, advised with an old
neighbor, who told him he would
get rich if he- would bestow a
pot of water on an ash tree in
his garden, every morning, at
4 o'clock. Wondering at the
counsel, but resolved to act
upon it he got up, and perform
ed the operation; but in the
course of 2 or 3 mornings made
such discoveries of pillaging
going forward on his premises,
that his eyes were opened at
once to the efficacy of his old
neighbour's advice, and he ever
after dated his prosperity from
the use of his watering pot.
Fattening , Hogs. Swine
should not be kept in close and
filthy pens. Although they are
supposedlo be naturally filthy
animals, Ithey thrive better and
enjoy belter healthwhen allowed
clean and airy lodgings. The
late Judge Peters, of Pennsyl
vania, iman article entitled "No
tices for a Young Farmer &c.
observed there is no greater
mistake than that of gorging
swine, when first penned for
fattening. They should, on the
contrary, be moderately and
frequently fed, so that they be
kept full, but do not loathe or
reject their food; and in the
end'eontract fevers and danger
ous maladies originating in a
hot and corrupted mass of blood,
airy and roomy, yet moderate
ly warm pens, paved or board
ed, and often cleansed, they are
healthy and thriving. They
show a disposition to be cleanly
however otherwise it is suppo
sed." v
The same writer asserts that
fattening hogs should always be
supplied, with dry, rotten wood,
which should be kept in their
pen, for the animals to eat is
their appetites may direct. It
has been supposed, likewise,
that swine thrive better when
they can obtain fresh earth,
which they are ofeti observed
to swallow with greediness.
Charcoal, it is said by some,
will' answer as good, if not a
more valuable purpose; if swine
can obtain charcoal, they will
not only greedily devour a
portion of that substance, but
will be but little inclined to
rooting, and remain much more
quiet in their pens, than under
ordinary treatment.
There is a great advantage in
boiling, steaming, or baking, all
sorts of food given to swine.
Great Production.. We learn
from several sources entitled
to credit, that, there has been
raised during ihn late season ,
upon tin ground lately covered
bv Sullivan's mill pond, in Rob
oson county, from 20 to 25,000
bushels of Rice. The dam
having been broken during the
last Spring, we understand
that Mr. Sullivan leased the
laud in small lots to the neigh
boring farmers, who have reali
zed the above rich harvest.
Fayettcville Obs.
Large Pumpkin. Mr. Wil

Farmers in Wake county, r pre

Caution. On opening a
cabbage, a few days ago, for the
purpose of cooking, a young
snake was found coiled up in
the heart of it. Cooks who are
in the habit of boiling the inner
part of this excellent vegetable
without cutting, would do well
to forsake this method for a
safer one. Ncwbem Spec.
Coronals Inquest. ..At Beau
fort, on the 31st ult. an inquest
was held on the body of a Mrs.
Shackelford, who was found
dead in her house ;Verdict,
;Death by Burning.' This is
supposed, by the Jury, to be
another instance of the fatal
effects of intemperance. They
presume 'the deceased became
intoxicated to such a degree,
that after falling in the flames,
she was unable to extricate
herself. ib.
Itching Feet. We know of
no common complaint more
annoying to children than the
tormenting itch of the feet from
chilblains. The following is said
to be a perfect cure. One part
muriatic acid diluted with seven
parts of water, rub the feet well
with the mixture before going
to bed for two or three nights.
The application must be made
before the skin breaks, and will
be found not only to allay the
itching, but to arrest the pro
gress of the chilblains.
