Some Mexican Deities.
Master M. had much to learn about
deities. At the head of these stood
one, infinite, supreme ruler, 'the un
known God." and next beneath 1dm
came Tczcallipoca, the "son of the
world," supio ed to be the creator of
the earth, lluitilopotchli was the god
of war, a sort of Mars, b .t with very
much more name. Then there was the
gtxl of air, (Jutzateoati who controlled
vegetation, metals, and the politics of
the eonntry. Here is something Mas
ter M. was taught to believe of him:
When this god, whom we call Q, was
on earth, vegetation w ns so wonderfully
prolific that a single ear of corn wasa'.l
a man could carry. Everything the
people needed grew spontaneously.
Cotton grew more beautifully tinted
khan the dyeisof the present.Ume could
eolor it. Uichest pei fumes loaded tem
perate breezes, and everywhere the
gandiest colored birds filled the air
with most entrancing harmonies.
Q had some lit le difficulty, however
with the rest of the gods, and was
obliged to 1 nve his little paradise.
When he einl Hi ked in his wizard snake
skin canoe on the shore ;f the gulf, he
told his friend that li s descendant
would one day return and bless the
land ns he had done, and that they
would l.e like him till, fine looking,
with dark hair, white skins, and flow
ing beards. Alas! this belief was in
no small degree the cause of their ruin;
for the invad nn Spaniards quite near
ly answered t!.is description of Q'a de
scendants. There were thirteen of the principal
deities, as Master M. learned, each of
whom required sacrifices more or less
horrible. Master M. learned that there
were many other inferior gods, each of
which had festivals, sacrifices, etc.,
proporiioned to his rank and power;
thiii nearly everv hour of the day was
dedicated to some ki w other. He
studied the history of the temples, and
learned why they were four or five sto
ries high with the f-lairs on the out dde;
and all about the everlasting fire which
burned on the tops of these templet,
and that there were so many of these
that the whole country for miles around
was always brilliantly illuminated.
Growth ef the Indastry ef the Country.
It Is very common for writers and or
ators to speak of ours as an agricultu
ral nation, raising raw products with
great advantage. And it is true that
the United States is the granary of the
world. This country is a'so rapidly
becoming tfce workshop of the world.
13y the census of 1S70, the food pro
ducts of the country were valued al
52,447,538,658. If the return for the
hay crop be added, the condition will
be improved, the combined value being
$4,267,121,320. The value of the manu
factured product was ?4,i32,325,4l2;
wages ef farm laborers, including
loard, $310,280,285; wages of operatives,
$T7o,5S4.313. The increase in the an
nual manufactured product of 1S70
over that of the preceding census year,
was 124.43 per cent., or, in other words,
during the decade between 1800 and
1870, the annual value of the products
of Ameiican manufacture had more
than doubled. The four leading States
were New York, Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts and Ohio. The growth of
manufactures, however, has been alto
gether out of proportion to the popula
tion, lietweeu 1850 and 1S70 our popu
lation increased sixty-five per cent,
while our manufacturing iudnstrlas
Increased in value 322 per cent. ).'arl
of this is owing to general rise in val
ues; but after making all the allowan
ces suggested by the able discussion in
the quarto volume of the centum, rur
manufactures have increased turee
times as fast us our population in the
last twenty years.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE-
The January number brilliantly
opens the fifth semi-annual volume of
this most excellent magazine. As it
appears in the "Holiday Season," it has
the somewhat distinctive character
of a "Christmas Number," and the
opening paper, "Christmas Carols,"
(prettily illustrated), by Iiev. W. II.
Withrow, is especially interesting.
"Lottie," by A. II. Maun, is a very de
lightful story of Christmas Fve. A
new serial story is commenced, en
titled, "David Fleming's Forgiveness,"
which will, it is stated, run through
several months. It is by the author of
"Christie Itedfern's Troubles," and the
openinggives promise of thrilling inter
est in the forthcoming chapters. The
pleasant story, "In Mischief Again," is
cotninued. The pages abound with good
things, which we can only refer to in
general terms. There are short stories
of great interest; sketches of famous
persons; essays, instructive and en
tertaining ; poems, history.science, etc. ;
an admirable sermon by the Editor,
Dr. Charles F. Deems, etc., etc. There
is no publication, either in the old or
this country, more deserving of public
favor. Present your families with a
subscription for 1879. The annual
subscription is only postpaid. Each
number contains 128 quarto pages and
over 100 beautiful illustrations. Ad

are, that early sowing is advisable w!n.n
late frosta are not to be feared; that
roots grown in rows close together are
rich r than those in rows w idely sepa
rated; and that the superphosphates, 1 1
better still, the superphosphates in con
junction with nitrate of soda, or with
sulphate of ammonia, act favorably on
the production of sugar in tne roots,
though these themselves are of less
gross weight than under other kinds of
manure. Pure sulphate of ammonia
and nitrate of soda produce heavy
crops, but the roots are poor in sugar.

Food for Swine.
It must be remembered that the hog
is omniverous and he will eat almost
everything that flies tn the air, swims
In the sea, or grows upon the earth.
Anything that a hog won't eat is not
worth raising on the farm.
The hog, therefore, must have a va
riety f food. But corn must consti
tute the base, and always be present, if
the finest results are to be expeeted.
There is no other grain available to the
farmer and slock grower so eminently
suited to fattening swine. But of it
self it is too concentrated; too highly
nutritious to bo fed nlone. Some arti
cle of food containing a groat deal of
water, such as milk, grass, or vegeta
bles, or something that U highly nitro
genous, should be mixed with corn in
order to furnish sufficient waste, to
prevent fonnd?r. I think that the
chief agency of nitrogen in the ftod
consists in its being a good waste uni
.erial. "We give the followiug tabla
which we find by experience to be very
good:
Two parts of corn to ono of rre.
Two 44 " at 6.
Two bailer.
Two " " wheat.
Either of tho above mixtures mar be
ground fine and tho ine.il mado into
mush, or mixed together in the raw
state and soaked in water. In all case-s
Lthe mush should be well cooked, ay
then thinned with water until thin
enough to drink. If mixed in the raw
state the corn must be shelled.
It grain was not so cheap It would be
well to extend the table so as to include
vegetables, but as long as we have a
country in which one man and team
can raise two thousand bushels of corn
and five hundred bHshe's of rye in ono
yenr, it will not pay to bee carrots and
bug potatoes. Soaked orn and grass is
excellent for hogs, and is probably the
best, every thing considered, for the
average farmer. If there is a tendency
to costiveness at any time, add about a
handful of oil meal ror each hog; less
for pigs.
If the skin is unhealthy add a lablc
spoonful of sulphur for each hog for a
day or so.
If the urinary discharges are un
healthy or difficult add a half gill of
nitre to each animal.
If the hogs are troubled with worms,
add a spoonful of turpentine or copper
as to each animal.
If the appetite is failing, add a table
spoonful of ginger or cinchona.
Pigs onder live months should be fed
less coru and more of the other ingre
dients, and for very young pigs, if the
feed is ground corn and oats, the meal
should be sifted. Green corn needs
nothing mixed w ith it, as there is suffi
cient water in the kernel to supply the
necessary waste. But green corn is
too expensive. It requires double the
amount to produce the same fL-sh if the
corn is fed in the drv slate.

health and strength to the system.
A DOCTOR SAYS.
Dr. I. Guy Lewis, of Fulton Ark., writes ; "Ono
year ago I was taken eick, a friend argued eo
stronglv in favor of Tutt'a Pitla that I was in
duced to nse them. Never did medicine have a
happier effect than in my rase. After a practice
of a quarter of a century J proclaim them the
best anti-bilious medicine ever used. I have pr-
scribed them in my pracUce ever since.''
SUPERIORITY OF
TUTT'S PILLS.
They are compouudod from medicinal substan
ces that are positively free from any properties
that can in the least degree injure the most deli
cate organization. They search, cleans, purify,
and invigorate the entire system. By relieving
tho engorged liver, they cleanse the blood from
poisonous humors, and thus impart renewed
health and vitality to the body, causing the bow
els to act naturally, without winch no oue can
feel well.
A TORPID LIVER
Is the fruitful source of mnj diaenves, prominent'
among which aro Dyspepsia. Sick-Headache,
Costiveness, Dysentery, Bilious Fever, Ague and
Fever, Jaundice, Piles, Rheumatism, Kidney
Complaint, Colic, etc
Tutt'a Pills exert a direct and powerful inflo-
ence on the Liver, and will, with certainty, relieve
that important organ from disease, and res tor
Its normal functions. "
