There leeoM to be conaioerable rivalry between the bn edeis of Berkahires and PMands itf tome localities the mijwity favar one breed, u]d in other*, the othtr. Tbefrincipsl aim of the breeds should be to get faealtby, vigorona pig*, that will come to matarity qoiokly, and foniah lOe most posndt from a given amount of food. The days of breeding sows to scrab malcf are pa«t what we tow want/ is cartfnl leleciion oi both male and female. Chooee the best natives, rr the common soek cf the coubtry, and crma them with pare bred males, and tbe rcsnlts will be very satisfac* tory. The picES seem to take all ot the good qualities of the nale, whQe the excess of bone and ofial, commcn to the natives, ' ik greatly tonei dcwn. A little prrsonal zperience in breeding may Eot lEspprppriately I e mentioned. In September, 1879. I purcbaaed a pnre-bred Beikshire boar, and crcssed him on common stock tbe results were very gratifying â€" ^bo much so that many of the nei(;hbcrj patron- ized the animal, some even coming the dis- tance of ten miles, and all obtainei equally satisfactory reenlts. The idea that 1 most wish to impiees is, that money jadicionely fipended in the purchase of pure-bred males is money invested at a good rate of inttrest. "What invest ment will pay a man tetttr bad 4Q pigs that made an avi r- age ol 339 pounds whtn 11 months old as the leaults cf a first cross between my Berk- shire and the con.mon stock. For breeding, select Icng, rangy sows that are frim s^ood mothers; cross these with a fine-boned, compact, heavy-hammed and shouldered male care should be taken to select males that have short legs and small heads and ears. It is alvtays best to breed frcm eld Eows ihere is less risk to be run they are better mothers and produce moie milk than the young ones. I prefer to have my p'gs to come in March or even as early aa January, and then keeptbtm tlriving till I am ready to cell. Ffgs reared in this way should be k(pt in a warm stable or pen, with the sow, till two or thiee mcnths old. Great caie should be used nst to feed tne sow much for two or three days after farrowing, for fear of creating fever. After that time, she must hare all of the bran, cornmeal and barley- meal with milk that she will eat up ckao. Tbe pigs will soon learn to eat. Wken warm weather ccmes and clover be- gins to st^rt, they nray be turned into a small large after "ringing," and there is no danger but that they will thrive. The d^ys of feeding swine in a mudhole of a pen are past now, plenty of range in the pas- ture with pure water, is the most preferred cf all conoitions of profitable hog raising. In many Iccalitie*, where from 40 to 100 or more acres of com are raised, the swine do their own feeding they are turned into a portion of the fi^ld and allowed to has for themselves. While this method is in favor with many, I still adhere to the good old way of saving the stalks for fodder, and feeding the corn by the basketful. Pretty good pork may be made by feeding pump- kins in the fall. Hogs of this kind, which were very numerous last seaeon, are called "skips." I have grown pork on nothing but clover and water in the summer, and finished with slops, soft corn, pumpkins and boiled potatoes, with good results. The main item in feeding is to keep the animal healthy, and then it will eat weU. A few years ago it was a very common practice to keep June to September pigs over Winter, and with much crowding get them fat by the next October such a prac- tice now seems a little too long and expen- sive. Competition and the market demand qaickly made poik, which shall be healthy and ea;able. Who wants to eat perk that bag been stunted and half starved tbrongh ibe first half of its existence? Quickly- grown pig pork, tender and juicy, will, al- ways be m demand at the highest prices.. K^eep your herd of swine respectable and cli an feed them clean and proper food and drinkâ€" breed well, feed well,, and then sell well, and your efforts will bei crowned with BQcceas and a good profit. â- *«• •» tbe wry bert faitib»r tint eaa i^ •'•.

Corn win ripen »nd mature even if the italk is cut while the grain is still in the nilk so as to be practically as goad for feeding purposes on the farm as that suffer- sd to ripen in che ordinary way, although it might not be quite so acceptable in the markets. And the difference in feeding Talae between corn-fodder cut up before frost and before the stalks have become too hard and woody, abd cornstalks left standing in the open fieli or not cat and ahocked until after frost has ttrnck it, can scsrcely be compared, either as regards its â- Qstaining or fattening qualities o^- .the relish with which cattle will.eat it. -It is generslly calculated by the fanner that the grain alone pays for the raising of the oom crjp, and the teed realized from the fodder siay be considered as so much clear gain. There is a great deal of it apoD an acte^ and itwillcertanly pay to save it in •« -good fbape as possible and when possessing its highest feeding value, which can only be done by cutting it up early before it is fully â- Ddtnred, and befrre the firosfce have had an effect upon it. Even when other feed is abuncant, we believe it will aot pay ta neglect the corn-fodder, because other kinds of feed will keep, and in many loeal- ities can be disposed of to some adrantajge. At any rate, the cattle like a change now *nd then, and a turn to good, sweet, well- cored corn-fodder will be iii every "•y beneficial.

Proir to 1880 he lived with hia wife and three child- ren on Washington street, in Bradford. He was lor a time in the employ of Mayor Broder. In tbe spring of 1880 he removed his family to Caledonia, Elk county. In the meantime he had quitted the lumber business, and took lessons in penmanship. He was so successful that at the February term of the McKean cOunty oonrt, several indictments were found against him for fernery. Detectives Morrill and Wilmoth, of Brad- ford, called at his home in the forest at Cal- edonia, but be was gone. After remaining in the vicinity severid days, and finding ns traces of their man, the detectives returned home. Postmaster Dixon kept them posted as to thft whereabouts of English. Early in April Dixon wrote that Eoglish was at bomA. and that he had threatened to take his (Dixon's) life. He tesonght the officers to come and take the yonng man at once. A posse consisting of Constables Frank Warnith, Philip Vollmer, and Thomas J. Burke, a justice of the peace, after firing up with liquor, started fbr the home ot the outlaw. Engliah was in front of the house. To Constable Warnith's demand to surren- der he replied "Never alive." Then he ran into the .hous-, vnth Warnith and Burke close at his heels. As he bornded up the stairs the pistol of Warnith was uia* charged, the bullet striking Eaglish in the leg. English dathed into nis sleeping-room and pulling down a Winchester rifla, fired through the door, killing Warnith. Buika dragged the bo jy oat into the yard. Liter ou Constable VoUmer was fatally wounded by a bullet from English's Winchester. Socn afcerward Eaglish sent out word that he would surrender if he was permitted to shoot Jack Bnike This request was refus- ed. Altbough badly wounded in the leg, Eog- lish left the house and made a dash for lib- erty. The posse and a number of armed citizens fired at the fleeing man, who was wounded in seven different places, bat es- caped to ,the woods. For three daya he lay hidden ander a bunch of willows- within three miles of his house. He then made his way to the house of a relative in a remote seighborhood, whcrd his wonnds were dress- ed. Afterward he went to Canada^ and thence worked his way into the wilds of Michigan, where he.cingaged hjmself to a half breed Indian as-'a 'fisheniait. Here he was discovered by one of his old Bradford ftiends, who, spumd on by the reward of $2,200 offered by Eik and McKatn counties for the outlaw's apprehension, gave his companion away. In Jaly, 1880, a Pinker- ton detective surprised Eoglish as he was returning from a day's fishing. Leaded down with irons, he was a few davs later placed in the jail at Bitdgway. In S ptem her of the suneyear he was tried on the charge of morderinfi' Coafetable Warnith. It was shown by the testimony that the oonatailKs who attcainted his artest wore Sipder tbe infliMnaetof bqaori IHid th.t they led shots into the house whdt'^vnhiii easy ganshot range. Then, tw, the oons*^ ble had fired the shot.

Again he was acqait;ed, but he Was not allowed to go free. At the same term of court he was foand guilty of forgery, and on March 29 he vras sentenced to serve four years in the penitentiary. By his exemplary condnot he received a oem- mutation of six montba. He wa^ brought to McKean county to answer to a chsu-ge of forgery preferred by O; D. Cidcmaa, of Kane.

The troubles in China are unfavorably affecting one of the most important minor indnstriei of Marseilles, and may interfere with female heads over Europe in. a way thfftir owners little expect. China has ceaaed to send hair to France, whether becmse its export has been interdicted by aoMiority or because Cbir cm dealers in the article are too patriotic to d^ al with their enemiea, haa not yet been aacercained. The Iraonady, whiob arrived in August from Hong Kong, brought only three bales of this inttresting merchan- dise, and the Sindh, which arrived laat month, brought but a single case. Marseilles is the principal human hair market In Europe. The imports average 80000 kilogrammes (about 80 tsns}. of which fully one balf come from China. For the rest Italy supplies 22,000, Cochin China 1 347, the Eoalish East Indies 2.000. Japan 538 AI pr a 431 .Turkey 98, Austria 67. •and Spain 13 kilogrammes. Thus China,' Cochin China, and J^pan famish a greater quantity than Italy, which was framerly the sole source al supply.
