* run up to seed, or grow coarse or rank, t They should have the slops of the kitchen, < the whey or buttermilk of the dairy, unless this is required for your pigs, and in . general every thing they will eat to ad- ! vantage, or which will promote their ( growth. < The manner in which the materials in- J tended for fattening pork is prepared and j fed, has a decided intluence on the rapidity j of the process, and of consequence on the , aggregate profits. If given out raw much j of the value of the article is lost; grain is much improved by grinding, but the full j cflect of all kinds of feed is only brought j out by cocking. Corn is without a perad- ( venture the best article ever produced for j making good pork; and though other sub- , stances may occasionally be used with ad- j vantage, and may produce pork of fair and j good quality, yet experience has proved that the real corn fed meat is on the whole superior to all others. Hogs will fatten on \ corn given to them in any state, yet it is far ' preferable when soaked, ground, steamed or boiled. A farmer of our acquaintance, ' and who is celebrated for the weight of his 1 hogs, and the excellence of his porki is in 1 the habit of mixing oats with his corn belore grinding in the proportion of about one-fourth, and thinks that if he had not the 1 1 oats of his own, he should be a gainer in exchanging corn, bushel for bushel, for oats - - ? :.u i.:..

rather than not have tnem 10 nu.\ wim uu swine feed. He thinks they eat the mix- i ture better than clear corn meal, are less i liable to a surfeit, and of course will fat l much faster with the oats than without them. Peas have generally been ranked next to corn as an article for making good pork, and they are probably the best sub- i stitutc that has yet been found, hogs feeding well on then, fattening rapidly, and the i pork being of good quality. It is almost < indispensable that pqas should be ground i or soaked previous to feeding. Potatoes < are more extensively used for fattening hogs than any other of the cultivated roots and are probably the best of the whole for this purpose. Unless they are boiled, however, they are of little value comparatively, but when cooked they will give the hogs a fine start in feeding, and they may I then be easily finished off with corn or peas, j The fattening of hogs on apples may be 1 considered as one of the successful innova. vations of the age, it being certain that this fruit possesses a value for that purpose ; whicfi but a few years since was wholly 1 unknown. The success of this experiment | has given a new value to orchards, and L will probably check thoir destruction, which I in some sections of the country had alreaR dy commenced to a considerable extent, j The various reports from gentlemen of in- | HHsrence of the practical results of apple) <

Therefore, children should ; ot be permitted to wear their hats or bon- ! ets in the house, as tliere the hair is an all- j < ifficient covering. In the extreme cold i f winter, the ears of such as are exposed to < ic wind, frequently sutler severely?to pre- ' ent this, a small piece of fur may be adjus;d to the hat, so as to cover these parts; or fur cap nay be indulged in; but let it be >rbidden to be worn in the house. But in no one particular arc the icklers for the hardening system more in 1 rror, than when they reject stockings in old weather, and even in winter. We 1 annot refrain from ^pressing our surprise, tat this absurd ancfc?uel practice could j ver obtain, since there are no portions of j ie body more liable to sutler than the feet nd legs, and few that have a larger circle f sympathies connected with them. We lerefore constantly recommend, that these arts should be kept covered by a sufficient rotection by stockings and shoes. We ty that a sufficient protection should be iven to these parts: for we are aware, that ke the coverings for other parts of the ody, it may be over-done.

From the' Baltimore Gazette. . * To the Editor : It is to be regretted y* it some editor should have given a news, per circulation tp an extract from one of *. Cooper's late novels, relating to Genii Lafayette's opinion of Gouvenei:k: jrris's advice to Louis XVI; which, in: i place it appeared originally, would not ve fallen into so many hands, or caused much regret to the friends of that Ameril statesman. It is stated in the extract, ,t General Lafayette told the writer, .ous XVI. owed his death as much to the i advice of Governeur Morris as' to any er thing." It is known to all those who know any thing of Governeur Morris, t he was ready, at all times, to express opinions to those who had any right lb* ; them. Those which he held on forms government were public here, during convention which framed the Constitu1 of the United States in which he was a mber. Going to France soon after it e, on private business and in a private iracter, he was met by the Chevalier De Luzerne, late iMinister from France, and er French officers and agents, as well as Mr. Jefferson, our Minister, and other lericans in France, by whom he was oduced at court, and to many eminent ividuals of all the political parties then luting that nation.

hat a prohibition had been given, was quite 1 sufficient, and it was incompetent for any j earthly tribunal to* set in judgment upon the' ustice of the reason, by which that prohibi- j J :ion was fortified. What would have been the I reflection of Miss (1 , in regard to her! r, father's prohibition, contrasted with the consent of her governess ? Possibly, that her ^ father could find it in his heart to refuse s what her kind teacher could not, and as ^ voung persons arc prone to look upon those 11 who administer to their present enjoyment, ^ as their best friends, the father might have u suffered a diminution in the affectionate confidence of his daughter. If there is any one evil peculiar to boarding schools, perhaps that of seldom, ifever, l.J enjoying the privilege of being left alone, j is the greatest. What a hindrance to mor- , al and mental culture must be the opinion, ' that, in order to be happy, young persons must always be in the company of others. 1 Where this opinion is entertained and acted a upon, farewell to all well directed efforts to acqiure knowledge, the possession of which , would soon teach, that the highest resources ni?/\ t/-v Ka Vl'ltlllll A!lf_

The first object is easily obtained; C( Hid bv the most simple means?to accom- w ilish this, it would only be necessary to to iover the body with a loose garment, of }>( sufficient length and width. But this sim- w de plan is rarely adopted; as caprice and 'ashion, pride and ostentation, are constant- cl y interfering with it?hence the immense w variety of dress to bo observed in the dif- tl ierent portions of the globe, as well as in s| contiguous places. Where this departure w from the simplicity just-spo'.en of, does not n, njurc by imposing any restraint upon either n, :he limbs or body,it is not a legitimate object s, for animadversion; since, causes which can 0 never be within our control, will be constanty operating, to produce great variety in the v, form of dress. te The mischievous and preposterous a custom of swaddling, is nearly abolished, in fc ilmost every part of the world; the child from its birth is uow permitted more free- st ito Ii'mtw tvluVh it pvercisos with e
