Most farmers delay this business quite too
long. 1t is well-ascertained fact that fat and
flesh are laid on much more easily IN warm
than in cold weather. No food is wasted now
in keeping up the heat of the animal system
The porkers should not be allowed to run IN
road or the pasture after the heats of summer
are past. If in lean conditica they may he
penned BY the middle Of August, and put up
on full feed. We believe four pounds of pork
can be made now cheaper than three pounds
can be made next November or December
Not only is the weather greatly in favor of the
farmer. but he has now on hand multitude
Of perlshable articles, in the field and garden,
that can readily be turned into excellent ba-
con. There is the refuse sweet corn, which
swine will eat greedily, leaf. stalk and ear
There are the beets and the cabbage leaves,
the unused summer sqnashes and tomatoes that
will rot unless transferred to the feed trough.
These fresh articles mixed with the corn meal
diet, promote the thrift of the animal and
keep up good digestion. In the Winter this
kind Of diet is scarce, and the uniform meal
and corn soon safes their appetites and they
do not gain as much in flesh.
When the process Of fa.tening is begun, the
pigs should have oil the food they will eat up
clean, until they are ready for the knife. A
