FATTENING HOGS AND MANURE.

To give hogs a start, when first put up for
fattenlng, there is in my opinion, no better
food than good ripe pumkins, boiled and
steamed with moiety of potatoes, and the
whole we'll seasoned with meal scalded in and
mixed with milk. There is sweetness in
the boiled pumpkin which is very attractive
to his pigship. Indeed all the trouble with
this kind of food is, that it is difficult to get
enough to supply their wants. The writer
has fed to pen of 20, two kettles, of 60 gal
Ions, per day, for some two weeks. think
to commence on this is even preferable to
hard corn.
While upon this subject, allow me just to
suggest how large an amount Of good fertili-
zing matter is usually thrown away in feed
ing our pork. The common course is to have
an enclosed pen for the swine to eat and
sleep in, and all the manure made usually
goes into an uncovered back yard-probably
a real mudhole, where the manure made
from feeding large quantity of grain, is al
lowed to go and be leached and evaporated
by the rains and sun; when we come to get
out this valuable compound the next season,
to apply to our soil, we f. it like the Irish
man s fea-not there. Now we will talk a.
bout the value of swine's manure, and in
truth, for indeed it is supposed to be more
fertilizing than that of any other animal
This being so, why not endeavor to save it,
and not actually tAro,o itaway in the manner
described? If no better remedy presents,
just make a temporary cover to the hog
yard, of rough boards or any thing that will
keep out water, and just supply the pigs
with plenty of material to work up-muck,
turf, straw Weeds: leaves, or indeed almost
anything of decayiDg vegetable nature, and
the thing gis done-when per chance the next
season YOU will find that instead of FIVE loads
of leached manure, you will have just four
times the amount, and little better article
at that.
Now, brother farmers, is this mere theory,
and as such, unworthy of trial-not worth the
time and expense? We all know "the more
manure, the better crops" and will not
course of this kind tend to enhance the ma
nure heap ?-Country Gentleman.
