Cabbage as food for Hogs.

A gentleman remarked, in our hear
ing, a few days since, that cabbage was
a valuable food for hogs. The idea
was new to us, and we inquired the
manner of feeding. In reply, he gave
the following as the result of his eXpe-
riencc, the last summer. Having a fine
patch of plants, and observing the bot
tom leaves beginning to decay, he dl-
rected his farmer to procure water
tight cask, and gather bushel of the
lower leaves from the cabbage plants
f\lnd deposite them in the barrel, with a
h andiul of salt, and one quart of corn
neal. On this was poured the contents
.,fthe kitchen swlll pail, and the whole
vas suffered to stand undiSturbed for
wenty-four hours, when the process
vas repeated, with the exception of the
,alt-and so, every day until the cask
was filled with a mass Of wilted leaves,
lbout six quarts of meal, potatoe peel
ngs, crumbs of bread, &c, from the
kitchen; all in a state of partial termcn'
tation. lie now commenced feeding Il
to the hogs, and they eat with grecdl'
ness, leaving other food for this. They
were evidently as fond of this kind ol
muSh, as ever " Mynheer" was OF his
sourkrout!
While the hogs were consuming the
contents of the first barrel, a second wa
course of being filled, and SO alter
lately, till the stock of leaves was ex
lausted.
This gentleman gave his opinion
hat he could not have prepared an,
other kind of food for his hogs, at dou
de the expense, that would have pro
luced results so decidedly beneficial
tn increase of appetite. imProvemer

Beets for Cattle.

As experience and not speculation is
what farmers need, | will give my OBJ
servations in feeding bects TO my cows
during the two past winters. In 1888,
put up about 300 bushels of Mangel
Wurtzel beets, 100 bushels of turnips
and some potatoes for the purpose of
experimenting in feeding my cattle du>
ring the winter. knew nothing but
what | learned from books, as | was
acquainted with no farmer (nor am
yeD who fed with roots. At first | was
at loss to know how TO feed them,
whether in a raw state or cooked, but
having determined TO try both plans |
commenced the work and each did
well.-l loung animals are peculiarly
fond of the raw bects and thrive aston
ishingly on them: but for cows that
give milk, they are better boiled, partic-
ularly if a steamer can be used in the
process. Though milk cows should
have raw bcets once in every two or
three days if grass cannot be had.
The turnips and potatoes were given
precScl Y as the beets; but could not
determine that either had the reference
over the other, as the cows gave about
the same quantity of milk, and their
condition did not seem changed by
either. In feeding the same animal
with beets, it was easily told that one
third less than of the turnps or pota-
toes would make them give the same
quantity of milk, of better quality and
they showed better keep. The beets
made the milk better, the butter better.
and the COWS look much better. On
one half bushel of beets per day to each
COW, without straw, and little meal
or bran mixed in, they continued in
good condition, through the winter,
gave as much milk as in the summer,
and the butter was full as good as in
May. My experience during the last
winter (lS30-40 while | fed on roots,
only confirmed my former conclusions.
