umns, although it has been obtrusively evident 
that it was a barefaced lottery scheme. More 
than one of these have dropped the advertise¬ 
ment after having consulted us on the mat¬ 
ter. We denounced it because we knew it was 
a lottery dodge, and suspected it wonld prove 
a humbug. Now that the subscription season 
is over and the premiums are being distribu¬ 
ted, the gulled patrons of the paper grumble 
and growl. From Licking Co., Ohio, one of 
these who had subscribed before he bad seen 
om-caution, writes: “I wish the Rural had 
warned us earlier against tha t miserable sheet, 
the Farm, Field and Fireside of Chicago. 
There are several of us here who would then 
have been saved money and exasperation. 
The paper itself is worth little or nothing, and 
most of the subscribers were caught by the 
offer of premiums, and especially the chance 
of winning a large prize—just the same spirit 
that loads to investments in vile lottery 
swindles. Well, some of us have drawn knives 
for which eight cents each were demanded for 
postage, but when they came there was on 
each only a two-cent stamp, and the things 
were worthless. Four cents for postage were 
required ou each oleograph, on which only a 
two-cent stamp was put, aud which wasn’t 
worth a cent,. Several who have seen what 
was sent, will not go to the bother and expense 
of sending for their premiums. A neighbor 
ness under all the above bogus names, as well 
as several others. He admitted that he had 
never sent or intended to-send anything in re¬ 
turn for the money collected. A laughable 
joke was that he had been a liberal advertiser 
for months in country papers without the ex¬ 
penditure of a dollar. He invariably refused 
to pay in advance; but always gave as refer¬ 
ences the numerous firms which he carried on. 
As Rose & Co., he extolled himself as Foster 
& Co , Clark & Son, and so on. The names 
of all his correspondents were carefully pre¬ 
served, aud it was his intention to publish them 
as "The American List of Fools and Dupes,” 
and to sell them at high prices to others wish¬ 
ing to reach the same gullible class.

REMEDY FOR AILING PIGS. 
Having seen in several issues of the Rural 
descriptions of symptoms which were attrib¬ 
ute' 1 to over-feeding, and having seen the 
similar symptoms among my own pigs, I at¬ 
tribute the ailment rather to the manner in 
which the feed is given, than to the quantity 
fed. Experience has taught me that warm 
slops will kill pigs in very cold weather. I 
just stopped giving warm feed aud gave the 
same feed cold, and in less than a week my 
pigs were all right, and iu the three weeks

that resort to the same disreputable means of 
increasing their circulation. 
Post Office Inspector Newcomb has just un¬ 
earthed an extensive and ingenious swindle 
practiced for some months on readers of coun¬ 
try papers, which contained advertisements 
calling public attention to the unrivaled facil¬ 
ities of certain alleged firms for furnishing 
seeds, books, household recipes, pictures, cards, 
etc., of priceless value, at astonishingly low 
prices. Indeed, the goods were to be given 
away on receipt of a certaiu amount of 
stamps for postage. To render the bait more 
tempting, prizes of *20 or $25 were to be given 
to the lucky persons who should be the 10th, 
doth or 30th to answer the advertisements. 
Ihe advertisements contained the names of 
different firms, the most common of which 
were J. B. Rose tt Co., E. C. Foster & Co., 
A. B. Clark & Son., and F. Foster & Co. The 
addresses of the bogus concerns were at Mor¬ 
ristown, Bloomingdale, Butler, Convent
