In my last report for Aug. 1S37 the word dry should have been inserted be fore dirt showing what kind of dirt was dried up after so much ra'n. Instead of making remarks on the weather and temperature I am goiug to write on the different ways of how thc farmers in il'lTerciit stales of the union call their domestic animals. Iu Pennsylvania it is with pig, pig, peggie, piggio.ca'liag their hogs at feed ing titn'. Ti.c North Carolina farmer calls prg-i, pi -r-i, dv, cli ng each time on thc i. Iloosicr yells, vrho-ce, who-ee and and his pigs come on the jump squealing. The buckeye farmer fcoaxiugly soo. soo, soo-ooo. 2sow I am a buckeye and I dont pretend to call hogs that way; I call pig! pig!! pigi!! and they come on the run crowding each o-her at the trough selfish, greedy pigs. Kentucky farmers cry poohe, poohe. I suppose it makes no difference how you call the pigs even if you oil them in Latin and Greek they come all the same. Continued. A Crave Man Thc following is taken from the Lin coln Journal of Sunday, and shows the presence of mind and p uck of Mr. Spraguo.
