N.C. > Jan. 9:h, 1858. $ 10 2t We insert to day a communication from in esteemed friend, giving an account of Tour shoats killed by him the present winter, it the age of 8 months and 11 days, the average weight of which is 166 pounds.? Prom the account detailed Jby him, the reader will perceive that they received but moderate feeding w.:de being reared, and that while fattening, nothing but refuse corn was given to them ; and we think he will conclude with us, that had they been better and longer fed?that is, had they been pushed from the beginning, and the killing Jelayed three weeks, or until they were 9 months o'd, their average would have exceeded 200 lbs. The boar by whom they were sired, is one of the best of the hog kind we have ever seen, :n every point which imparts value; he was imported by that public spirited gentleman, Rezin D. Shepherd, i?srj. Of their mother it is enough to say, that -1 - Pliaetoii rr.nntif frtP nil infpllu 15 U UtitOkvi vvuinj HV^I >W ?... .?w... ijent farmers to set a proper estimate upon ler value ; as there is no one acquainted with the relative merits of the various breeds of hogs, but know that these stand irery high, and we are sure that the cross with Mr. Shepherd's admirable boar, will greatly improve the stock. We have now several pigs by the sama boar and sow, for sale on commission, and should be happy to be the means of selling [hem to some farmer, who would take care of them, and give us a report of them when lolled, as we ore certain if well kept, their breed will tell a tale that will read well in : swinish history. In conclusion, we have to express our | regret that our correspondent did not use his own proper signature, as we are precluded by the incognito he has thought proper to adopt, from following the dictates of our heart, in calling them after him, believing that he has, by his judicious cross, created | a breed of hogs that no gentleman need be ashamed to see bear his name.?Farmer j <$ Gardner.

Mr. Robberts?Dear Sir :?Having noticed in the Farmer and Gardner several * ? -C '?"> siif^oceful rn?rmiT r\f nifTK instances ui m*. ? w. ? f # * ? by fteding app:es, 1 was inclined to try it during the past season. In July or August, as soon as the apples began to fall I commenced feeding lour, and continued it until November. Alter my apples were, gone, I fed them on cob-m al% (as it is called, composed of corn ground with the cok) which was boiled and fed in the form of slop. For the last month they have been fed on "nubbins'' of corn, separated from the crop in huskmgas unfit for housing with it. They were killed a few days since., when eight months and II days old, and waighed as follows: 148,157, 1*72, 187-total 664 lbs. or an average of 166 lbs. They vcre by Mr. Shepherd's imported boar, now at Mr. Hetzhoover's, and out of n Choker sow. It mav be proper to remark, that they had b ! a part of the slop from the kitchen while n ! being fed on apples, and were not very lat e I when killed, the rapidity of their growth tr ! preventing it. There is undoubtedly much k j more in the breed of hogs, than farmers si generally are aware.

Why don't you take an agricultural pa j per, is a question put to farmers, and many j will answer, O, i take more papers now than I can read. jl This is poor management, for the farmer jS?i to take papers on various other subjects f Jr. the entire neglect of those relating to IfSaJ'own affairs. In selecting his papers, the 1 w farmer should by no mean.. overlook those Ct which are devoted to his own profession, Sl and advocate his own interest; on the con- I w trary, these should have a decided prefer, j Ul ence. How can a farmer or any other man j S( get thoroughly acquainted with his profes j aion without study and investigation, espe- j j?.* cially when there is so much to be learned from science, and the slow process of ex- Sl periment, as in agr/cuiture, that a tbousan ; ,l years would noi suffice fur one marno learn ! c< \lone what has ulreadv been discovered n ^ rr and recorded. Go into the study of the minis er, lawyer, jta doctor, politician, and you will find them i rij with a Kyary of standard works on their! a professions, ai d with periodicals that bring n them fresh intelligence and new discoveries, 51 and they will stiVl be studying and improving; . but look into lhe library of the fanner and 11 you will look in vaJn for agricultural works. ei Should the lawyer o." doctor read on all other subjects and neglect his own profession, who would employ .V171 7 who would have anv confidence in his sJ:'H ? Some farmers say their ^'^ers were j; farmers, and they have always ^ vctI on a tt farm, and they know all about the business,, and no one can learn them any tiling, a?d j so they go on in the old way, without rvfe j ^ thought as to its being right or wrong, and never dream of improvement. [ ? Now, farmers, walk up to the chalk, fur- i .l nish yourselves with standard books on your J'1 profession, take an agricultural paper, and a5 become enlightened in your own affairs, j al and you will tind your business more pleas- j aI ant and you will be elevated to that impor- a< tant station which American farmers ought! It: to hold?a most lespectable. intelligent, in- ; depent and important class of citizens, ,,..e : ,r support and defence of the country. j Q| L. O. ' , ! i VALUE OF SWEET APPLES. j ' The superiority of apples, especially ?j rtfAno fr\f ; _ sweet on JS, over uicujy ?w, y feeding farm stock, is rapidly becoming | e known. There greater cheapness is also be. j tp coming established. It has been already ; 'j shown, in an article published a few w<reks ! j since in this paper, that they may be nffor- j ded, at a reasenable compensation for the I ex'pense of planting the orchard and the ' price of the land, at the rate of half a cent a bushel. This of course is only to be ex- JJ pected from good culture anfi the selection of proper varieties. The expense of root \ crops, when cultivated in the cheapest man- j ner, may be considered on an average as j ten times that amount,or five cents u bushel. I ' c Apples are especially valuable, as in addition ( ^ ?a rr.arti.tr, rttlmr nnimnls. fhntr are SO ad. I IV? twuillg Vtuva -m.?j mirsbly adapted to the fattening of hogs. ? For the preceding reasons clone, it may be f] safe to predict^ that in a few years the crop of apples will be considered as only second ? to the wheat crop. But there is an additional rf.ason for at- M taching importance to apples. This is, I f.( that they will probably yet become much j 1 more valuable than the sugar beet for the ; a manufacture of sugar. Molasses is alredy j n obtained from the juice of sweot apples, by j r evaporating the cider ii| its very freshest i state by boiling, of a good quant ty and j51 much cheaper than by buying it in market, i 0 It is true, su^ar has not been thus obtained; I but the molasses is far sweeter and purer ! ^ (han the substance obtained by the same ' j* process from the beet; and it is probable j I that pure sugar may he obtained by a< sim- | " p!e a process as it is from the beet. If this | S proveu to be the case, apples, from their!lj superior cheapness and the very trifling la- j . bor of th'iir cultivation, as well as the con- i stant labor required for the culture of the >11 beet, will probably supercede entirely the J v latter. The experiment appears to be well i c worthy of trial.?Genesee Farmer. | EXTRACTS. j ? I From the Annua'? Report of the American f | Association for the supply of Teachers \ 1 j for 1833. } [ The subject of Education, so important ;J * - n.">r- ; ! in trie estimation 01 everv p . ,. ! son in our country, having of late receiv. i j ed very great attention, and the number of 1 ' schoo s ot every grade being greatly multi- \ plied, there seemed to be wanting some or- j a | ganization, by which a supply of teachers, i fi j so essential to any scheme of education, j e | could be readily and properly secured. Not j v only is there u great destitution of teachers 1n in many parts of our country, but even 11 where schools exist, there is often cause to j s lament the incompetency of the instruc- j a ters employed, and an evil of still greater; s 1 magnitude is not unfrequently found in the , i | influence exercised by an intemperate or ; t ' profligate teacher. That schools and fam- j i | lies might be able to procure with some tol- j s j era bio assurance of safety in the selection, J such teachers as thev des:rr. was fel? to ' 2 an important object in the great busi- 1 ess of education. Every one who lias xperience in such mutters, knows how oublesome, and in some cases, how Impels is the task of searching out a teacher jited to anyparticuiur station, an 1 it oc. urred to those who instituted this ussocia. on, that if would bo of great benefit to ie community, if a plan could be adopted ' i ? . i... y wnicn ttioso who wisnea to cmpioy {lichen, could make ihcir selection from a irge number of applicants, whose charac. us for scholarship, capacity onl good torais, were sustained by sufficient testL ionics. To the teachersuot less than to the parats and guardians of youth, would the cnefits < f such a plan be great ; for as on 10 one hand, the selection of a teacher ould not be confined to. imy pa^'culur lo. dity, nor to the extent of an advertisement, > on the o.her, would the range of our hole country be open to the teacher, and Tiid the multitude of situations, he might ?!ect his field of service. The city of Philadelphia, as a central jintof communication with the rest of the nion, being well suited lor the seat of ich an institution, the plan was adopted by few gentlemen, and has thus far been inducted with success. Our object is to i<ike known to the par;ie$ interested, their luluai wants, and to fumishan ins'cumenJity by which difficulties incident to rejoteness of situation and want of person I acquaintance may be overcome. Of the innner in which we propose to do this, we jbmit the following general outline. 1. Bv rcceivingand registering applicaons for situations from all classes of teach, rs. 2. By receiving and registering applica. ons fur teachers of every grade of learn )g,and every variely of instruction. 3.

Its first attempts for promoting the ob ,cts for which it was founded were made 5 an experiment, and its correspondence i(J other daily business were gratuitously tented to by one of the members who :ted atf secretary. It was soon found that 9 plans entirely practicable, and that le most hopes of its founders light be acco.*upi s^?d under a proper gency. To the great into/**sts of Education, the t'signs of this institut ions are devoted. To levate our country w'V 'lie enlightening ad pur fying influence of learning, is its liief aim : and it i3 the happiness of the lanagers to inform its patrols, that past xperience gives encouraging t\stimony to le feasbility and efficiency of k'io plan. he correspondence snows many inv?"tro 1 which the solicitude of parents and goardins lor the education of their ch'ldren is xpressed, while at the same lime are pre. ented the anxieties of a talented, accoralished, and pious teacher, seeking employ. ?ent. It is truly gratifying, under such ircumstanccs, to accomplish the wishes f the distant part/es, and l>y a mediation njoying the confidence of both, to furnish le parent an instructer and guide for his hi Id run, and to provide for the deserving, ut needy teacher, an honourable employlent, a competent support, and what he ften aspires after, more than either of these, ie roeaos of usefulness and tli6 employient? of the faculties with which Providence as blessed him. To female teachers, of horn there are many applicants, qualified ) teuch not only the elements of an Engsh Education, but its higher branches, and -_.i r course emoracing mt; sciuu^d, ?nu uum lodern and ancient languages, the above ^marks are peculiarly applicable. From teachers who have obtained ituations, and from those who have prourod thein through the agency of this As. oc?ation, frequent letters are received, exress ng their sense of the good thus be. lowed, and in some cases, in lerms too vivid ut from a heart overflowing with grati. jde. Extracts of this character might be iven for the satisfaction of the contribu. ors to the institution, who may rely upon assurance of the Managers, that the unds bestowed bv them huve been proJucive of good, and that future contribution /ill,it is hoped, be equally blessed.

Certain ex. imscs are unavoidable in such an enter, rise, and those who are friendly to i's obects, are invited to contribute the means >f defraying them, under the hope that be. ore long, the institution will be able to susaiii itself.

Testimonials should be as specific as pos sible, in reference to the character, attainments and qualifications of the applicant: and as the religious denominations to whict ihn nnoiirant belongs is of en reauired. it i: _rt - c~ -- - , important that this should be stated. When, from any cause, it shall beimprac ticuble to turuish testimonials so far as respects literary qualifications, any person, op plying to the Secretary for a teacher's sit uation, and with ample credentials as to hit or her it oral character, may be examinee by a committee appointed for this purpose and, if qualified, may receive a certificeu Irom said committee, tes'ifying to sue! qualifications.

Now what do you think that meant? You know there was an Indian Chief by the name of Black Hawk, who was a great warrior. He used to kill fathers and mothers, and leave their little children to cry an-J sturve, or carry them away to the Indian's wigwam, and treat them cruelly, and perhaps kill them and cut off the skin, and h?jr from the lop of their head with a scalping knife. Do the men who printed the letters, or those that haul the r ogshead on the cart, or those who bring u from "New York" in vesssls, I or those * ho set it in their stor s and draw its contents out into bottles and kegs, and SL'il it to others; or do the people who make laws whi^li let them do so,?do any or all these mean toMfC'it' people as UUck I lawk used to? Hut there are other Hutch; Hen.hnwks and Fish-hawks and Pigeon-hawks? Was the "s tiff" in the hogshead designed to "treat" any of these; or, to treat men, women, und children as the hawks treat birds ana fishes and chickens ? Such inquiries would ofu n arise, and since i saw that hogshead, I have seen other things which made ' me think of it a great many tim< s. A few days ago I was riding towards a village and saw a man coming who looked as if he had been badly treated. He was swinging a "goad stick," such as they drive oxen with, c in one hand, and both arms swinging around l" i.is body and his body tottering-firstoneside, 8 and then the other; first one side of the road : and then another; his l?-gs fl-w around here * and there?stepping sometimes very high e and then tripping as if he would tumble in the ditch. His face was bloody, and tiie blood ' was running from his nose down across his mouth and chin. As he passed by, just escaping my wheel, a man who was riding behind me. called out^to iiian f? Mr seems to me vou huve ' business on both sides of the road?' The | poor man made no reply, but it was evident he did not know where his business lay, or how to find it. Probably his team had j run away from him, or hid through fear or r sh ime. i thought that man had been taking h Black Hawk Treat. A littlo beyond, I saw another man driv. ing a poor miserable horse in a horse-cart. Hp was siting on a board which lay across | the two sides of the cart, and \ as balancing one way and the other, and whipping his old horse wi:h his long stick, and , screeching out in tones perhaps something like a war-hoop. His old horse arted as it" used to such treatment; the man's coat was r ragged, and horse and driver bonth looked ', as though there was too much Black Hawk , I Treat, somewhere in the neighborhood, j 1 am afraid the crows will come after j that old horse before spring, i A little farther on, 1 met two fine looking teams. The oxen were fat and their drivers looked I app> and cheerful. Them was no Black Hawk Treat about them. Still farther i on, I overtook a man with a bundle under | one arm, and something ned up in a hand, kerchief in the other hand, which looked like > a quart jug. The fe t of a goose were ; st eking out from the cloth uuder his arm , and I thought that goose was going after a . i Black Hawk Treat, 1orlhe man who carried it looked very thirsty. 1 was afraid h? ) would go homo and make his wife and . children feci the same treatment of Black Hawk. | The evening of the day on which I had t witnessed these scenes and had passed by j the village where they had originated, f rode i into Bangor, and there I met a man who j I had an inclination to visit all sid^s of tho s 1 road, like the one I mentioned first. He * ! had something looking like a cod.fish, o ! swung over one shoulder and something lied I up in a white cloth in the other hand, t r 1 guess it W4.s Black Hawk Treat, far a cod. K 1 lis!) on one shoulder und a pint.bottle full . ! of molasses in the other hand could not . I make him staggar so. Two others I met * e ! soon after, exhibiting the same sad evidence j that there is too much Black-Hawk Treat ? for sale in Bangor, as well as in other plu. n ccs. So many scenes like these in one halt j. day, made me think that the temperance reformation is not yet complete, and that if something is done in good earnest to stay . his march, the s vaged?e!s nf'Bhck Hawk | O . arc not vet finished. Theoiu wurrior-ciueln is indeed dead, but ifiiis gost is to haunt our villages in this way, we ought to raise jj up a string voice of remonsiranco till the i. people of New York shall fill their hogs^ iieads with better things or stop sending !S?ni "dow.v BAST."
