The best breed of hogs, in this day of theft, is the hog that will mature at the earliest age and make the most bacon and lard, for the food consumed. There is no doubt but that tbo White Chester, or the improved Ohio Chester, is the hog for this purpose. There nro no other fine varieties of blooded hogs: the Berkshire Essex, Wooburn, Grazier and Suffolk, but if we would raise hogs "successfully, we must keep them up where we can sec them at least twice a day, and where wo can hear them if they squeal at night, if interrupted; for this treatment, there is none that wiii compare with the improved Ohio Chester. They nro very solid, largo sized, and small boned, have a good square form, deep and wide apart, plenty of piny for the lungs, very heavy hams and shoulders, broad in the back, short bead and legs. They readily fatten while young, "or at any age. They will make inoro pork and lard in a given length of time, with a given quantity of food, than any other breed of bogs; are quiet and contented in their disposition; in fact, they have all the good qualities desirable in a hog. Some object to Chestera on aecount of color, Hint they are more liable to disea ses of the skin; this maybe true, but 1 discover that hogs of all colors are subject to vermin, a disease which kills more hogs than any eruptions of the skin. The remedy is simple, effectual and easy of application, and if applied regularly onco a mouth, wo will hear no more ob jections to White Chesters, on account of mange: Prepare a strong tar-water, to which odd a little tobaco juico, then with a mop while they arc eating, give them a good sprinkling; it will keep them clean and healthy. The farmers object should bo to make everything pay. Stock poorly kept, never pays. If you are growing stock, keep it growing; it should weigh more each week, if it does not, you are not get ting paid for its keoping; therefore, you are losing money by it, and the fault is your own. Always n member that your grass hay, grain or other stock food, is worth money, a part of your working capital, and whenever you cannot make a profit on it by feeding one animal or a lot of animals, sell thousand buy others that will improve on the food that you are wasting on the farm. The improvement of the domestic ani mals of a country so as to enchance their individual and aggregate value, and to render the rearing ot them more prolita bld to all concerned, is oucoi thoachieve* aicnts of advanced civilization and enlightenment; tho truth is, the improve ment of domestic auimals, is ono of the most important, and, in these cot;on States, one of the most neglected branches of rural economy. My advice to all Southern people is to turn tbeir ntcntion more to raising stock, at least to the amount necessary lor home consumption, and that of the purest im proved blood. This thing of raising cotton and buying meat, won't pay. ft. A. Connali.y, in Aberdeen (.Miss.) Examiner.
