We condense the following hints on this subject from an article contribu ted to the American Agricutturist by a subscriber in Sehuylkill county, Pa.: In selecting my breeding hogs I always pick out the best shaped, most thriving boar pig to keep over for a breeder. For a sow I select a healthy shoat, well shaped, but thin and lank, in preference to a fat and sleek one; my reasons for this are, that the lean show will produce more pigs, and raise them better than one in high order the sleek one converts all her food into fat and flesh for her own sides and back, while in the lean one it is converted into food for the young. This rule is applicable to all animals. A cow which shows erery rib when in milk, will bring forth larger and better calves, and "lye ore and better milk than the one ttiat almlj? . looks ia, enough for the slaughter. My expe rience fully sustains my theory. My mode of raising hogs which are inten ded to be kept over, is to have them pigged about the latter part of August or first of September, and after allow ing them to run with the sbvfor five or six weeks, confine them in a sepa rate pen. When first taken from the sow they should be fed from six to eight times a day, or else they will fall off in flesh, and it will take them weeks to recruit. Their usual allow ance at first should be about a pint of milk to each pig, and in order to fa cilitate the properly attending to them the milk barrel should be kept stands ing very near the pen, from which it can be dipped with a pail with very little trouble, being replenished night and morning with fresh skimmed milk from the dairy. The quanty of each pig should bo gradually increased each day according to tho growth, of the pigs, until thej have attained to the age of three or four months,. when a regular allowance should be made to them ; and the number of times of feeding may be diminished. At this time in the pig's life a little grain fed night and morning will not be torown away upon him ; a little oats or rye, if the pig is in a healthy condition, followed by about a pint of corn, which may be subsequently increased to a quart, this addition of grain will tell amazingly in the growth of the animal, a.3 well as have a tendency to . .keep him in' such a condition that when "fattening time arrives he will be ready for the knife much sooner than a hog fed only on slop3 without the daily quota of corn, to say nothing of the saving of a good deal more.com than has been used up to this time in the feeding. The milk from the dairy when weakened by the slops from the kitchen, should occasionally through the week be enriched by the addition of rye bran. Sly and Bedding. The pen in which hogs are kept should, consist of two apartments a covered and an uncov ered one. An excellent manner in which to construct a pig sty, is to erect a twostory frame building, hav ing a part of the under story boarded oft" for a place in which to. keep the slop barrel, reserving the rest for a dry pen for the hogs, and having a pen constructed outside, and communica ting with this covered one. The feed ing trough should be in the outside pen. In this manner, if the pigs are given a sufficiency of rye straw in the inside pen, and the outside one is kept well supplied with the butts of corn stalks, they will not only make an immense amount of manure, but will keep them selves white and clean, thus refuting the assertion of the filthiness which is continually flung at them. In the upper part of this pen should be kept litter for the bedding of the hogs ; or a part of it may be partitioned off for a hennery. I have adopted what I consider a very good as well as economical plan of getting the upper part of my hog building filled with good litering ma terial. It is this: When hauling in my corn fodder I cut ofF about two feet of the hard, dry buts, which the cattle cannot eat, and have them bound into small bundles and stowed away in the upper part of the hog house, to be used as required, inese corn Duts wnen thrown into the outside pen are so torn and trampled up that they are con verted into good lasting manure, which has not its superior on the farm, and which would be almost entirely lost if fed to the cattle in the fields, etc. Fattening. When fattening time comes, I generally commence by feed ing the "nubbins," and after two or three week, follow them with shelled corn. This I always feed boiled, boil ing in the morning what is required during the day, and at night what is necessary for the morning. Feeding thus, brings my work nearly all in daylight. In this way I can make my hogs fat enough for all practical pur poses, by feeding them from 15 to 20 bushels of corn, each, and in slaughter ing at 16 months, they weigh from 400 to 500. I never like them to exceed 500, for I have no fancy for this over grown andspqngy pork of forced hogs. rf AY ! Xv .A . -1 : nv V Ay Ay AND FOUEVEIt." From the Country Gentlemen. The Potato Rot and its Prevention. I take the liberty of makihg ia few remarks on the potato disease and my method of saving potatoes when the rot has made its appearance. Divers opinions have been advanced relative to the cause of the pctato rot, but I have heard no reason assigned that was satisfactory to me. except that of atmospheric influence, which we have no remedy to counteract. Truly an excess of moisture (when the disease is present,) will cause a decomposition of the potato, but this is not the cause of what we term the potato disease. As soon as we dis cover the leaves and stalks of the po tatoes become suddenly wilted and black, when there has been no frost to cause it, we may rest assured the dis ease is present, and I believe the sooner the potatoes are dug after this earance the more soul one3 you will have, and the more that are par tially affected may be saved for feed ing purposes. It is the deleterious sap of the dis eased leaves and stalk circulating to the potato that causes it to rot; cut off the communication and you arrest its progress. If partially affected potatoes are separated from the sound ones and spread thin upon the floor of some out-building, they will become dry and keep well for some time, and may be fed to good advantage in fat tening cattle. I had over 200 bushels of this description one season, which I fed out for the above mentioned pur pose, and saved what otherwise would have been a total loss. The better way is to commence feeding the un sound potatoes as soon as you begin tO dig. , ... . -- ..- - I have noticed that some, potatoes appear sound except ; a number of white specks on the surface, and on cutting them I found dark colored streaks extending through the potato, showing decidedly that the potato was diseased; such potatoes if deposited in a heap would shortly ferment and rot. The reason why so many pota toes rot in the cellar i3 because so lit1 tie care is taken in selecting all that are unsound. Again, I have observed that when the leaves and stalks of potatoes were suddenly and totally killed by disease, that very few;pota toes becamo totter, the circulation of lb e Vi eldiorlou .". ui.-j' "en ii rely urn rested. The method I pursue when 1 find .my potatoes diseased is to dig them as soon as possible (in fair weather if practicable,) and sort out all the unsound ones I can discover while picking them up; and deposit the sound ones on tho ground in a long narrow heap in the form of a roof, and then cover them with straw laid on lengthwise from the ground to the top of the heap, for the purpose of protectxng them trom wet in case ol rain, and then put. on sufficient earth to nrevent them from freezing. If there should be severe frost, let them lie a few days, and then uncover and carefully sort and put into the cellar, and keep your cellar cool until the frost becomes so severe that there may be danger of freezing in the cellar, then close up for winter. I have never suffered any los3 from potatoes rotting in the cellar since I have used the above mentioned means to prevent it. M, M. Howard. Peach Culture. J At a recent Fruit Growers' meeting in Delaware, the following was said on the culture of the peach, its various diseases, &c. As the peach is one of the leading fruit crops in Delaware, what is here said about it properly comes from practical men, who know what they are talking about: The various committees appointed re ported interesting statistics in reference to the quantity of peaches on the penin sula, from which (owing to the lote frosts) we find the crop to be not more than one half of an average one. In some sec tions there is a full crop, while in others it is nearly a failure. The next subject in order was the cultivation of peach orchards. Mr. J. R. Fennimore recommended shallow plowing, and constant working throughout the season ; recommends Oc tober and May plowing, not quite three inches deep. Mr. Isaac Parsons recommended early spring plowing for the growth of wood, but October and May plowing for pro ductiveness of trees. Mr. Edward Wilmer has a peach orch ard in charge which he plowed last Oc tober, trimmed very heavily this spring, plowed m March and seeded aown , - oats. The trees are about six or seven years old and will average two and a half baskets to a tree. Mr. Wilmer had the earth thrown from the trees during both plowing ; he now intends to plow again and throw the earth to the trees. Mr. Robert Nicholson has been .en gaged in cultivating the peach for nine teen years, and has made various experi ments in plowing and cultivating orchards; his experience has brought him to the conclusion that October is the best month forolowinf. Whether the benent arises w -- - t . u .......... k .nc nn mR s nam and many of "them being destroyed, and irn.i. l tin 'J iitrri 1 111. i. . NO. -7 the ground being pulverized by the win ter frost3, and settled around the roots,! he is not prepared to say, but the effect he has observed. Lio-ht down, following the previous fall plowing,! is very beneficial to trees. Fall plowing j seems to delay or backen the buds in spring, and thus the early frosts are avoiueu in some measure. Mr. James Shuster, engaged twenty six years in orchards, thought the trees should be plowed as early as possible in the spring, if not practicable postpone till June plow, shoal. Plow in autumn while vegetation is green. Has made the experiment of salting trees ; to young trees half a pint ; if three years old a pint, &c. After early plowing the trees should be kept well, trimmed until three years old ; after that time but little, ex cept thinning out the branches where fruit cannot grow, but never trim except when the tree is in leaf. . . Mr. Richard Semans has an orchard rising three years old has kept well trimmed and is of rapid growth. It was materially affected by the frost In May, and the manner is unaccountable. In the middle of the orchard two rows of trees were unaffected by the frost the residue materially injured leaves had the ap pearance of being parched, and fell off. Examined the trees through a microscope, and ascertained that it wa3 the frost and not an insect that had done the injury. Mr. Daniel Corbitt Does not trim till two years old ; after that thin them con siderable; thinks the side shoots sustain tbe body. Mr. Semans Trimming before the sap starts causes the tree to decay ; the wounds do not heal soon. If trimmeJ in May or June they heal immediately. A majority of the meeting theught the trees should be trimmed whie growing. Mr. Fennimore thinks ""worming" necessary, and worms" twice, in May and September. . . - ;r Mr. Griffith thinks gas tar applied to the body near the soil is a preventaIre toborer3. Applied to old trees, affcted i with many worms, four years ago-, has; discovered no worms since. " Mr. Semans worms the trees by taking the dirt from them ibe first of May ; ex amines for the worm with a knife where the gum oozes. When trees were four years old, after removing soil, applied quick lime and strong pickle mixed ; put it on with a mop; first scraped the rough bark off. Quite successful, only a small number of worms afterwards found. Mr. D. B. Stewart has applied coal ashes successfully against the borer. ,.H.r H. Cummins applied air-slacked lime around the collar of the tree, half a"peclrto- fc-acb, and found it beneficial. Mr. bemanj has feund (wood) ashes the best fertilizer for young trees ; re moves the earth from around the collar of the tree and applies a shovel full. ! Mr. Fennimore thinks there 13 nothing; better than ashes as a fertiliser, half a gallon to a tree, lie thinks the best kinds for cultivation and market are : Troth's Early Red, Earty York, Yellow Rare Ripe', Crawford's Early, Moore's Favor ite, Mixion Free, Ward's Late Free, Fox's Seedling, Crawford's Late and Smock Naturally Hard to Tell the Trnth. "Timothy Titcomb" ha a keen scalp el, and he thus dessects men on the sub ject of truth-telling: "I have known em- inent men who had not tne power to suue a fact, in its whole volume and outline, because, first, they could not comprehend It perfectly, and. second, because, their power of expression was limited. The lenses by which they apprehended their facts were not adjusted properly, so they saw everything with a blur. Definite out line, clearly cut edges, exact apprehen sion of volume and weight, nice measure ment of relations, were matters outside of their observation and experience. They had broad minds, but bungling; and their language was no better than their apprehensions usually it was worse, be cause language is rarely as definite as apprehension. Men rarely do their work to suit them, because their tools are lm perfect. There are men in all commu nities who are believed to be honest, yet whose word is never authority upon any subject. There 13 a flaw or a warp some where in their perceptions, which prevents them from receiving truthful impressions. Everything comes to them distorted, as natural objects are distorted by reaching the eye through wrinkled window-glass. Some are able to apprehend a fact and state it correctly, if it have no direct re lation to themselves; but the moment their personality, or their personal inte rest, is involved, the, fact assumes false DroDortions and false, colors.

Tho I crop ol that year was the largest ever j grown in the State, and the largest gest average per acre. It i3 probable that the crop this year will bo equal in v mount to that. The crop of 1S50 wa3 31,000,000 bushels. That of this year may safely be put' down at 20,000,000. After 1850 the wheat crop of Ohio declined till it reached only 11,000, 000 bushels in 1851 which wa3 but little more than one-third the maxi mum. Tho maximum and minimura crops were as follows : n Jf-? 3i,.;oo,coo w.uii iaf H,8$tf.U0 - la 2i;W,6iS From return of assessors received at the office of the Commissioner r.F Statistics, it appears that the crop of 1861 was about 15 per cent les3 than that of 1860, which would mike last year's crop in Ohio 20,000,000 bush els. From general observation, it seems that the crop both in quantity and quality is far beyond that of I8 60 ; so, as we remarked, it may be set down at not far from thirty millions. The three c ops then, of ?60, ''61, '62, were very nearly as follows : ln 18"'0 2;i.r5i0,33't luruol?. In 181 20,000,009 " In 1832 50,000,000 " The consumption of the State for both food and seed does not exoeed 13,000,000. We have, then, the fol lowing surplus of wheat : Pr 10.6,0.338 lu,hc!5. tor i.Ono.OM) c- For 1S62 .. r This is, of course, on the assump tion . that the wheat is stored and ground without any waste. It will bo observed, that as the consumption re main3jiearly the same, the incrcaso of the crop i3 really an increase of the surplus: The State is, therefore, as to the profits of commerce, a much greater gainer than in the uiero in crease of the crop. She corn crop has now got to tho 20th of Aug in a most excellent cou dition, the plant being vigorous and growing rapidly. It is backward in point of time, but never in a better state. The.drought which was appre hended has not taken pbec ; ana If tho remainder fof Anr-.ust atiuurci be dry and hot, "it .will be no more than' what the corn plart requires to make and ripen it well. Thi3 will probably be theTcase; and, without" providential calamities of aa uiiusua! kind, it mvv be ajsuned that iho cC;T crop of 1862 will be above the aver age, - ' The oats is rather inferior. Thcro will, on the whole, bo less than an average. , Other -mall grain and potatoes have done remarkably ' well, and the grass crop is unprecedented. Taking all the crops together supposing the re-' mainder of the season to be fair for gathering the outstanding crops it may be confidently affirmed that Ohio will have prodaced an aggregate of breadstuffs much exceeding that in any year of its existence. The ag gregate crop of 1860 was the largest ever produced in the State being one hundred and fifty three millions of bushel?, including potatoe?. The ag gregate cf 1862 will exceed this im mense amount. We shall have, there fore, the same surplus to send abroad in 1862'63 that we had in lSGO'Gl. When we add to this the labor used in manufacturing flour, liquor, and pro visions; and tt this again, the pre ducts of cattle and sheep, wo find tho surplus product of agriculture expor ted from Ohio will exceed the inter crst on a thousand millions of dollars the whole value of property in tho State; and will exceed the interest on, the whole National Debt, made by the war, in two years from it3 commence ment. It is in these products of freo labor and good soil, that we see in what manner a people become strong and independent. England ha no such independence. For forty years she has imported bread every year, and next winter will have to pay Ohio the cash for these very products. This is the triumph of a Republican State, in which labor ha3 it3 reward, and there i3 neither ca3t or slavery to depress honest industry. In conclusion, we may pay that , tt. . . . , n v ' iTovidenco is on our siuo : now great the contrast between these vast harvests and ererflowing granaries and what might have been, had our fields been wilted with blight and drought!
