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

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

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. I have a pair of the c
celebrated Berkshires, that I hope to give 11
you a favorable account of hereafter. I "

| AGRICULTURAL PAPERS. i la
' l?
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,

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

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. When tho wislies of the applicants
orrespond, by miking tnis correspondence
nown to the parties, and passing the
tacher to the situation as soon as praccable.
The society has now been in operation
iree years, (Turing which period tho extent
/its action has been constantly increasjg.
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. To a
ommunity deeply interested in the ultinate
cffec:s of the society'* operations, they
ook for occasional pecuniary aid, and
ommend its interests to the friends of Ed.
ication. throughout our land. 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.

black hawk treat,
New York, 3 Proof.
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
