AppIes fer Stock,

Mr. ]. L. Sinclair, Meredith Village, N.
H., remarks that as the potato crop is short,
and the few they have are rotting fast, he
would like some information as to the best
method Of feeding apples to hogs and other
animals.
Apples are better food for hogs than 9th.
or animals, though they may be fed TO other
stock to advantage. Apples are much bet
ter for hogs afier being cooked, and there
is q great advantage in mixing them with
other food, such as meal OF various kinds,
potatoes, pumpkins. &c. Meal is excellent,
as il dries up the abundant moisture in ap-
pies; and as apples are not very nutritious,
there is an advantage in mixing them with
more solid or concentrated food.
Pumpkins are excellent to mix with ap.
pies, as the sweetness of the former eoun.
teracts the acid Of the latter. We have
tried various ways of feeding apples to
swine, and we prefer the following Boil
or steam apples, potatoes, and pumpkins to-
gether. using the largest quantities Of that
which is cheapest or most abundant, using
but little water, then, while hot, add meal
or bran, so as 10 make the mixture tolera.
bly, dry or stiff, and stir all up together, and
feed warm.
In this way, good pork may be made
much cheaper than on grain. excepting
when apples and potatoes are in good de-
mand, or potatoes are destroyed by rot.
In feeding store hogs on apples in the
winter, we have found the best way 10 lay
them in shed or out-buildng, in a cool
place, and let them freeze, and they will
generally keep in that state most OF the win.
ter, and as they are wanted, Just warm or
scald them, and the processes Of freezing
and tbawing will have cooked them. Then
stir in meal or bran, and feed warm. Pc.
tatoes exposed as here named are preserved
by freezing. but if placed in the cellar, many
will rot aud he lost. We have thrown 10
hogs apples that have been frozen and ,haw-
ed, and sonnd ones from the cellar al the
same time, aud they have chosen the former,
and who shall Judge what is best for them
Apple pomace, dried, and cooked as want
ed, is valuable ingredient in hog feed for
winter. There is but little advantage in
cooking apples or other food for cattle hor-
ses or sheep. In relation to food, hogs re-
semble mankind, more than other animals
do; land some say there is sameness in
disposition, particularly in the quality of sell
fishness horses, cattle, aud sheep have
strong digestive powers, and will subsist on
coarse heritage which hogs cannot digest.
Hence cob meal is better for other stock
than for hogs, as hogs cannot easily digest

Some farmers who have fed apples TO hogs
value them as high as potatoes Tor this pnr-
pose, and we have an experiment reported
in which some hogs gained as fast on ap-
Piles as on potatoes, consuming equal guam
titles of each; but we think that apples are
not worth more than half as much as pota-
toes. and at this estimate they are as cheap
food, as they can be raised at less than half
the expense.-BosfOn Calfirafor.

be doubtless far better.

be repaid by a greater profit than any vege-
table we know. From an acre not less than
eight bushels might be gathered every day,

There is some trouble in picking them,
but then nearly every farmer has children !;
his liule boys--aye, and big boys loo, would
not he the worse for little work. We
should be glad TO see the experiment tried
on larger scale than ours, and 10 learn the
result.-S C. Temperance Advertiser.
