This weight run be obtained ut six months, and where ft butter dairy is run in connection with pig growing, a considerably g'eut ir weight is possible. The points essential to produce this weight at six months nro : 1st. A good breed of hogs. 2d. Mature mothers. Id. The cure of the sow during pregnancy. The mistake usually made is in feeding too much cjrn and making the sow too fat. I have come to be a great believer in roots for winter feeding of brood sows, both on the score of economy and health. 4th.

Haiiiin'o TriiKKvs.?Mr. (Jeorge (). Walker, of Kiehinond Co., Uco., in the September number ef the Southern Cultivator, saye : 1 read the article you republished from the thuui/r JidI Farmer, by Mr. J. C. Quinn, on the care of Turkeys. As it is totally different from inyown, I will give you briefly an account of my individual experience. I stavted with seven turkey hens and two gobblers. Up to the first of August, while two hens wero setting for tlie second time. I hnd hatched out, from tlioc hens, 110 chick*. An soon as they wero hatched, 1 tinned the hens and their broods loose upon a hundred acre grnss field, and paid not the slightest attention to them: they were allowed ub-olute freedom and wore never, day or night interfered wiih. They wero never foil or watered nt home, nor coddled in auy way. * They were left to their own sweet will. Out of 110 yeuug turkeys hatched out, 1 raised !<>'. , losing hut one, and that was decapitated accidentally hy a grass Made. My neighbor near hy, with exactly the same loca1. conditions, and with every modem improvement for fowl raising, coddled his fowls in the Quiiin plan, and lost 100. These arc the plain facts, and I am convinced by experience that the best way to kill young turkoys is to nurse them. Per toct treeuotn is ineir salvation. If Mr. Quinn can improve on my method, let n<< hour from him.

How, mend ''Jo*," tot ua agree to discuss this matter bNuUy, defandiog tho truth and yielding to cheerfully, remembering that we pjHprnothing personal, except to benefit each other. Permit iuo to quote front yours of last weak in reference to me: "I am dispose 1 to think, however, the Kev. gentleman got a Tittle off in hit zenl to defend hit mode of Imptism, (italics mixe) when he stated publicly thai neither sprinkling or pouring it baptism." I grant that 70U are honest in 7#ur opinion, and believe, if 70U saw otherwise you would have the caudor to admit it; but since you did not ovmce to me where I was "oil" by giving argument to the contrary, and since I have 1 lit* Hiblr 011 my side, 1 am not yet disposed to admit that i was a "little off." I'erinit me to ray before entering more fully upon litis discission, that if you meant llifit m v tphI lift nrtiiii m at I liv nirirpr* convictions of the (ruth, you certainly failed (o understand me. 1 am far from preaching any doctiino that 1 do not believe to be taught in the Scriptures, ilence it was not "my mode of baptism," but the Dibit mode thai I endeavored to defend so zealously? for I c'aim that immersion is the bible mode of baptism. Let me quolo further: "If be is right, then what a host of iguorant people there are in other ohurohes, who do not agree with him." I am not able to say whether it is a matter of ignoranco or indifference; for when we cousult the works of learned Pedobaptists we find that aluiust all of them agree that the primitive mode of baptism was immersion. I will mention a few of them here: Teslimonies of Celebrated I'edobaptist Scholars. Charles Aplhou, LL. D., episcopalian l'rof. of Latin and Greek, Columbia Coli lege, New York: "The primary meaning," (of the word baptixo) is dip or immerse. Secondary, if it has any, refers to tiie same lending idea. Sprinklin</, is entirely out of the question." Uev. George Campbell, D. I)., President of Marischal College, iScutluud, Presbyterian in hi9 Preliminary Dissertations on the Go*pels, ( declares thai the original Greek words mean immcrst, immersion. ' Revs. The mas Chalmers, D. 1)., I'resbyter rinn; Moses Stewart, D. 1)., Congrcgationnlx ist; Martin Luther, founder of the Great C TTt<v.niation, John Calvin, founder of Presbyterianism; John Wesley, tho fouuder of Methodism; Admit Clarke, D. D., (lie celebrated Methodist expositor, with numbers of t other Pedohaptist scholars, arc agreed that the primitive mode of bnptism was made by immersion. This being true, 1 would not charge them with ignorance, llut space will not permit mc to spenk further on Ibis point ' at present. I must quote further front your letter : "Mr. II. tolls us that no other mode of baptism was practiced tor ".'>0 years after Christ." When I made this assertion I took history for my authority, and of course we tnnst - ilapcml upon the records of history for such information, Sprinkling grew out of tho idea of baptismal regeneration. Men believing ' (lie doctrine that, if any one died unbaptized ho would be los'. and ?ince a sick man 1 upon his bed could not be immersed easily, thought thilt a profusion of water poured upon him might save him This was called tlinic baptism, and the first record of such >' baptism, indeed, the first example of affusion, is given in the Ecclesiastical History of Kusebius. It was tlie celebrated case of Novntian, A. D., 250. Eusdbins says of l?iin: "Heing de ivetod by the exorcists, lie fell into ???"* ? aicknem, and as lie seemed about to dIc7"Re received baptism by affusion, on lie bed whero lie lay, if, indeed, we can * say such an ouc did receive it." Now, if you can find an earlier record of this so' called baptism I shall thank you fer the information. Hut let me quote the red, aud then with a few words close: ".Now, will brother (no 1 excuse me, I am uot a baptist) will He v. II. tell us his authority for saying the Apostle ' Haul was iunnerscd, and oblige, Joe." c It is a little singular that Haul's baptism is so ofton referred to by Hcdobaptists; f ir when rightly considered, I fail to see where * they get any argument in favor of sprink3 ling or pouring. 1 "And why inrriost thou ? Arise and ho baptized and wesn away thy sns. oiling on tho Lord," (Acts 22:lt>). * This passage seems t? be a proof text, [ from which they draw conclusion that Huut 1 was sprinkVL Hut let us see if we cau't ^ answer all the objections they may offer against immersion, and if so we shall conl elude that Hnul was immersed, as the very word implies. Let us notice first the word "Arise." "Paul," the Pedobapiists say, "simply got ' up and was baptised where lie stood." But let us examine Ilia Greek word Anasfat, e (an est as.) It implies motion after ris1 in&. Liddell and Soil not only eay it 1 means to "arise," but to make people "arise r to leave their homes." Thayer says, "Those ' who leave a place to go elsewhere, hence of those who propare themselves for a journey." Robinson?"Ho arose and followed." Hence, according to Lexicons, I'aul arose ^ and went to another place and was baptized. Now, if there was no other word in the cntence than 'be baptized," that would be s sulhcient to tell what was done, since all of the best Greek scholars are agreed that bap1 tism means immersion. Kead what Paul ' says about baptism in Koiu ti:8. The "we'' ' includes hint*elf. "Wash away thy sins." The word need for wash is loiio. Dr. Robinson says to?o "signifies to wash the entire body, not merely a pirt of it, like ni/>lo." Hence my ' candid convictions are that Paul wis immersed. and 1 give you as my authority the Holy Bible. Respectfully Yours. \V. E. 0. lit Mi'iiRir.s.
