How csn we reduce the cost of pork ? First, by reducing the time to produce it. A thrifty, growthy pig that will weigh 200 pounds gross, and which gives meat well marked with lean is most desirable. This weight can be obtained at six months, and where a butler dairy is run in connection with pig growing, n considerably greattr weight is possible. The poin's essential to produce this weight at six months ore : 1st. A good breed of bogs. 2d. Mature mothers. !.l Tk. .... >?< vail VI lui-iun uunug The mistake usually made is iu feeding too much corn and making the sow too fat. I have come to be a great believor in root* for winter feeding of brood sows, both on the score of economy and health. 4th. The pigs must be taught to eat m early as possible, and provided with a pen or apartment which the sows cannot enter, in which to feed them. They will begin to eat regularly at four weeks old, then they can be w??nsd without losing anything. Dran is best food wc have for developing bone and muscle and a little corn is a help. ? . #. Raising Turkeys.?Mr. George O. Walker, of Uiehmond Co., Geo., in the September number ef the Southern Cultivator, saye : 1 read the article you republished from the O) a age Ju>t Fanner, by Mr. J. C. Quinn, on the care of Turkeys. As it is totally different from my own, I will give you briefly an account of my individual experience. I started with seven turkey hens and two gobblers. Up to the first of August, while two hens were setting for the second time, I had hatched out, from these hens, 110 chick*. As soon as they were hatched, I turned the hens and their broods loose upon a hundred acre grass field, and paid not the slighted attention to them; they were allowed absolute freedom and were never, day or night interfered with. They were never fed or watered at home, nor coddled in any way. i They were left to their own sweet will. Out ef 110 yeung turkeys hatched out, 1 raised 100, losing but one, and that was decapitated Accidentally by a grass blade. My neighbor near by, with exactly the same loca; conditions, and with every modern improvement for fowl raising, coddled his fowls in the Quinn plan, and lost 100. These are the plain facts, and 1 am convinced by experience that the best way to kill young turkeys is to nurse theni. Perfect. freedom is their salvation. If Mr. Quina can improve on my method, let us hear from him. A . Dangerous Counterfeit.?Washington, Oct.

Why is it not enforced ? On a windy day it is dangerous to drive a horso or mule through Main street, because the trash flying around them keep them frightened. Besides, it makes the streets look unclean. c*ar "Uli ! where, tell me where," is the rcfraia from the "old reliable'' Foster Wilkins & Co's establishment in their advertisement this week, and they answer their own melodious question by telling the public just where they cnn get the most goods for the least money, and where everything can be found from a pinoh ot suutf, or a shingle nail, to a fine silk, dress, or the roof of a house: and Frank says he will throw in the sneeze to the snuff, if there's any grumbling at the price, quality or quantity of the goods # Xi&X- 1"*. Thomas is on liis tax collecting tour through the County, and we sineerely hope every one of our subscribers are better prepared to meet him than we are. We've got down to cow-tail soup at last. There is one matter abeut the taxes this year that we would seriously impress upon the minds of the tax-payers, and that is, there will be no extension of time. Co v. Tillman is opposed to extension, the condition of the Ft ate and County treasuries won't allow it, and those two influences will be powerful enough to keep the Comptroller General from exercising the pewer to grant an extension. The books will close on the 16tlt December, and all who are in arrears at that time will have to pay the penalty Now don't say we did not warn you of the danger of delay. ttST At the quarterly meeting of the Alliance last Saturday, A.

Mr. I.yles gave general satisfaction last rear to both buyers and sellers, but was not tungry for the posftion this year, hie last rear's experience establishing the fact that > eents a bale leaves ltim a very small margin, after paying hands to handle the cotton tales, and being on hand at all hours, x lays in each week, exposed to all kinds of veather, neglecting the business of hie own arm.

Oct. 14.?Mr. Elitir: Will ou bo ?o ktad m to girt mo space in jour elumns to reply to some inquirios of mj riend "Joo," This is somewhat out of my ino of to di<cuss such a subject b rough the columns of a newspaper, but ince 1 bar# boon called upon to vindicate njself, I cheerfully endeavor so to do,_ Now, friend "Jot," let us agree to discuss bis matter Makly, defending the truth and rielding to oheorfullj, rememberng that we nJBpTnothing personal, except o benefit each other. Permit uie to quote from yours of last week n referenoe to me: "I am dispose! to think, lowerer, tho Rev. gentleman got a little )ff in bis zeal to defend hit mode of bapism, (italics mice) when he stated pubicly that ucitlier sprinkling or pouring is )?pil9IO. I grant that you are honest in yeur jpinion, and believe, if you saw otherwise pou would have the candor to admit it; but since you did not evince to me where I was "off' by giving argument to the contrary, snd since I have the Dibit ou my side, I am not yet disposed to admit that I was a "little off." Permit mo to ray before entering more fully upon this discussion, that if you meant that my seal was net prompted by sincere convictions of the truth, you certainly failed to understand me. 1 am far from preaching aoy doctrine that 1 do not believe to be Uught in the Scriptures. Hence it was not "my mode of baptism," but the Dibit mode thai I endeavored to attend so zealously? for I c'altn that immersion is the Bible mode of baptism. Let me quote further: "If he is right, then what a host of ignorant people there are in other ohurohes, who do not agree with him." I am uot able to tay whether it ia a matter of ignoraaco or indifference; for when we consult the works of learned Pedobaptista we find that almost all of them agree that the primitive mode of baptism waa immersion. I will mentiou a few of them here: Tetlimonict of Celebrated l'rdobaplitl Scholart. Charles Aplhon, LL. D., Episcopalian Prof, of Latin and Greek, Columbia College, New York: "The primary meaning," (of tbo word baptiia) is dip or immcrie. Secondary, if it has any, refers to the same leading idea. Sprinkling, ia entirely out of tho question." Rev. George Campbell, D. 1)., President of Marischal College, Scotland, Presbyterian in his Preliminary Dissertations on the Gospels, declares that the original Greek words moan tmmtrtt, immeition. Revs. Thcmas Chalmers, D. D., Presbyterian; Moses Stewart, D. D., Congregationalist; Martin Luther, founder of the Great **w*?sinatioo; John Calvin, founder of Presbylarianinm Jntin WmI.? n,. # i Methodism; Adiun Clarke, l>. D., the celebrated Methodist ezpositor, with numbers of other Pedobeptist scholars, aro agreed that the primitive mode of baptism was made by inim'rtion. This being true, 1 would not charge them with igoorauee. But space will not permit me to speak further on this point at present. I must quote further from your letter : "Mr. II. tolls us that no other mode of baptism was practiced for 250 years after Christ." When I made this assertion 1 took history for my authority, and of course we must depend upon the records of history for such information. Sprinkling grew out of the idea of baptismal regeneration. Men believiug the doctrine that, if any one died unbaptized he would be los>. and since a sick man upon his bed could not be immersed easily, thought that 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 ezample of affusion, is given ic the Ecclesiastical History of Kusebius. It was the celebrated case of Novation, A. D., 250. Eusebins says of him: "Being de iveted by the czorciste, he fell into seMks Sickness, aud as lie seemed about to die, We received baptism by affusioo, on the bed where he lay, if, indeed, we can say suoh an one did receive it." Now, if you can find an earlier record of this socalled baptism I shall thank you fer ths information. But let me quota the rest, and then with a few words close: "Now, will brptlier (no excuse me, I am not a baptist) will Rev. il. tell ue hie authority for sayiog the Apostle Paul was immersed, nud obliae. Joe." Ilia a llMle singular that Paul's baptism is so often roferred to by Podobaptists; for when rightly considered, I fail to see where they get any argument in favor of sprinkling or pouring. "And why larricst thou ? Arise and be baptised and wash avray tliy sins, colling on the Lord," (Acis 22:16). This paaaage seems to be a proof iext, from which they draw conolusion that Paul was sprink'ed. But let us see if we can't answer all the objections they may offer against immersion, and if so we shall conclude that Paul was immersed, as the very word implies. Let us notioe first the word "Arise." "Paul," the Pedobapiists say, "simply got up and was baptised where he stood." But let us examine the Oreok word Anaetas, (anastas.) Itimpljus motion after rising. Liddeli and Scott not only say it means to "arise," but to make people "arise to leave their homes." Thayer says, "Those who leave a place to go elsewhere, hance of those who prepare themselves for a journey." Robinson?"He arose and followed." Hence, according to Lexicons, Paul arose and went to another place and was baptized. Now, if there was no other word in the sentence than 'be baptised," that would be sufficient to tell what was done, since all ol the best Greek scholars are agreed that baptism means immersion. Read what Paul says about baptism in Rom 6:8. The "we" iuoludet him-elf. "Wash away thy sins." The word need for wash is louo. Dr. Robioton says louo "signifies to wash the entire body, not merely a pert of it, 'ike niplo." Hence my caodid convictions e that Paul was immersed, and 1 give you as my authority the Hely Bible.
