Remarks. —Business is generally steady and quiet, with little 
change since our last. Flour and Provisions are giving way a 
trifle. 
The Weather is very favorable for the growing crops, which are 
looking remarkably well the country over. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from Calvin Coulter, Jr., Reviewer, R. L. Allen, and Cato. 
Review of the Transactions of the Agricultural Societies of 
Massachusetts, for 1847, has been unavoidably omitted this 
month. 
Who was Cincinnatus ?—C. C. Jr., of Orange, N. J.—Your 
history of this individual is altogether too long for insertion in 
our columns. The substance of what you say is expressed in 
the following words :—Cincinnatus was a Roman of low extrac¬ 
tion, who, as he was plowing his fields, was informed that the 
senate had appointed him dictator. He left his lands with regret 
and hastened to join his countrymen, who were closely besieged 
by the Volsci and iEqui, whom he conquered, and returned to 
Rome in triumph. Shortly afterwards, he gave up his office and 
returned to the plow ; but in his 80th year,he was again summoned 
as Dictator; and, after a series of successes, he resigned the ab¬ 
solute power he had enjoyed, nobly disregarding the rewards that 
were offered him, about 460 years before Christ. 
Remarks on the Agricultural History of Primitive Nations 
of the East. —C. C. Jr Would require more space than our 
journal will admit. 
Castration of Pigs.—L., of Tarry town, N. Y. Definite and sat¬ 
isfactory directions for performing this operation cannot conve¬ 
niently be given in this, journal, neither do we deem it necessary, 
as there are almost always to be found, in every district, persons 
practically acquainted with this branch of veterinary surgery, 
who may be consulted or employed. For further information on 
this subject, see Youatt’s Treatise on the Pig. 
Strangulated Hernia in Pigs.— L. The case you name of the 
protrusion of the intestines after castrating your pig, was probably 
the result of strangulated hernia, which existed before the opera¬ 
tion was performed. A proper course to pursue, in such cases, 
is to elevate the posteriors of the animal, on a fence, or some 
Other object, with the fore feet resting on the ground, or floor, 
which will cause the intestines to fall back, by the laws of grav¬ 
ity, into the body again, when the incision, or rupture, may be 
stitched with thread, or metallic pins. By remaining in this po¬ 
sition a few hours, a union of the flesh will take place, after 
which he may be released, and on being kept quiet for a week, 
or ten days, he will generally recover. 
Boys' Department — Breakfast-Table Conversation. —C. C. Jr. 
Much obliged. Full for the present. Let us hear from you pri¬ 
vately.
