PLANT TREEs.-lt is really astonishing

thing among Others is the living in dwellings
Tor numbers of years, without any effort at
having shade trees imparting life to the
homestead, though this same land is really

donable neglect. costs so much,' does il :

HOG FEEDlNG.-The feeding of Hog for
bacon should be now pushed on feeding them
three times day, and giving as much as they
will eat of well prepared food, and the best
quality. We nave nothing equal to corn.
" dSieS.-1t is no exaggeraliun to say that
onethird of the corn fed to fatteniug hogs,
in open pens and on the ground, is absolutely
wasted. In the first place hard corn is MT
fit for food for them. hey will not digest
the whole Of it and a large portion is wasted;
1t should at least be well soaked upon the ear;
but better still it, should lie Shelled and soak
ed; better still it should be ground and boiled
or ste ,med.
Manure. important memorandum in
connection with hog feeding is the saving of
manure. Fed exclusively on the richest food
the manure made while fattening is without
question the best made on the farm. Let it
be carefully preserved and mixed with litter,
which will absorb the moisture Beside the
advantage in feeding Of having fattening hogs
oil the ground The manure can be much better
taken care O..
Gathering Material for Manure. There is
usually some good material for manure on
the waste places Of the farm, and during this
month 1t is well to get together into your
yards, enough to absorb and mix with tho
dropplngs of the stock before the coarse liter
begins TO accumulate from feeding.
Cafte FEEDING. DO not delay too long the
regular feeding of cattle with good food. It
is all imp, rlant that they should go into the
winter in good condition, and it is very mis-
taken economy to feed them grudgingy anu
with Indifferent food early m the season, for tin,
sake of insuring an abundant supply at
late period, A healthy animal will always
be in a good condition in the Fall on sufficient
food. and the best possible security against
short commons in Spring, and the debililating
