DEEP PLouGHINa.- Horace Greedy
recently passed through Ohio, ani
writes as follows in the Tribune oI
the 18th:
"Had the the titled lands Of Ohio
been last plowed six inches deeper
than they were, (which would not be
deep enough yet by FOOT the Corn
crop of the State would have been
worth at least Twenty Millions Of
Dollars more than it is. Some farm
ers see this; and there will be more
sub-soil plows sold in the State within
the next six months than have been
from Adams time till now. True,
the farmers do not count on the next
season being SO dry as the last; but
they will find deep blowing as benefi-
cial, il not as palpably necessary, in
wet as in dry summer. An ex-
cess Of water passes quickly off
through tbs same loose and mellow
sub-soil which retains moisture tena-
ciously in a burning drouth."

BUTTER AND PoTAToEs.--In the year
1918 (says the Pennsylvania Inqui-
aer) the writer Of this paragraph sold
to the late Henry Pratt one hundred
and eighty thousand pounds Of cof-
fee at Ia cents per pound. In few
weeks thereafter the price advanced
to 40 cents; and thereupon the people,
in town meeting, assembled in Inde-
pendence Square, and pledged their
honor to abstain from the use Of cof-
fee. until it was reduced to reason
able price. In a few weeks thereaf-
ter coffee was retailing at lSa cents
per pound. Similar proceedings in
the year 1886 brought beef down
from 25 to Is cents. Butter is now
selling at 45 to so cents, and potatoes
at So by retail, while the latter arti-
Gle is abundant IN the State of Maine
at 60 cents per bushel.

Swine.
(Gncluded.9


II is impossible to rear and iatten
hogs and not make good deal Of
rich and valuable manure; but it is
easy TO allow manure to be dropped
in the woods, or in low swampy
grounds, where it is not needed, and
where hogs are allowed to run. The
art Of rearing hogs at the greatest
profit includes the outstanding Of all
the dung and urine produced by them
in the best possible manner. In
this way alone can one economically
atten his corn and clover-6elds as
we'll as his hogs. Let them have
both shelter and water in the lots
where they feed, or are fed. While
young they need a reasonable
amount OF exercise to develop mus
Gle and bone, and for their health
In a state Of nature in forests, swine
take considerable exercise in search.
ing for their daily food; and in this
way they acquire great strength o.
limb and muscle, and remarkable
constitutional powers Of endurance
Many families Of swine are injured
by too high feeding when young, and
this remark will apply to shoats
horn cattle, and some Of the larger
mutton sheep. as kept in England
Excessive fatness is so unnatural q
condition rs to amount to a positive
disease; and if long continued from
birth till death in family, its consti
tutional powers will gradually fail
and then the race becomes extinct.
There is gold mien in this mat.
ter, which the stock-grower will dc

to range in clover, pea, or oat fields
growing hogs will take just the ex.
exercise that is best for them, and

fattcning process, it should, at least
be boiled in large kettles. This il

This does not impair the quality O.
the manure, while it augments the
yield Of the fat in the animal. Hogs
should be kept reasonably warm, dry
and be regularly fed. AS matter
of profit, care should be taken moi
to feed too long before selling or kill
ing them. On the other hand, one
may feed long enough to attain the
maximum profit. As in other de-
partments Of husbandry, experience
and observation can alone make one
skilliul in the breeding, rearing and
fattening of swine.
